Synopsis

At the age of 16 Razor Smith stood in the dock of the Old Bailey charged with armed-robbery, GBH, and possession of a firearm with intent. He survived a borstal system that was in reality a gladiator school for young criminals, and came out hardened to violence, embittered to the system and determined to pursue a life of crime. Over the years his addiction to violence diminished, but the thrill of the crime never went away: by the time he was given a life-sentence in 1998, he calculates that he had committed over 100 armed robberies.
