Breaking Better by Lennox Rodgers is a raw and unfiltered journey through the criminal underworld that gripped the author’s life for many years. Rodgers offers an insider’s view of his descent into crime, detailing his roles as a drug dealer, enforcer, and armed robber, alongside his experiences within some of the UK’s most notorious prisons including Dartmoor, Strangeways, Grendon, Oxford, and Lewes. His narrative is unflinchingly honest, exposing the harsh realities of his life of crime and the severe consequences that followed.

Rodgers’ account is more than just a memoir; it’s an eye-opening exploration of the factors that draw individuals into criminal activities and the complex challenges they face in breaking free. His personal account culminates in a moment of stark realisation behind an industrial bin in a London alleyway, a moment that sets him on the path to reform and rehabilitation.

Now a regular commentator on gang culture, knife crime, prison reform, and youth rehabilitation for major media outlets like the LBC, BBC, ITN, and Sky News, Rodgers uses his story to advocate for change and provide hope to those who feel trapped in a cycle of crime. Breaking Better is not just his story but a beacon of possibility for transformation and redemption, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in the realities of criminal life and the power of personal change.
