Bank robber. Gambler. Prison escapee. And the man at the centre of one of the most daring prison escapes in Australian history.

In Part One of this extensive interview, John sits down with Prison Chronicles to tell his story in his own words. He talks about his early life, his introduction to crime, bank robberies and gambling, his years inside Australian prisons, the escapes, and some of the notorious criminals and extraordinary characters he encountered along the way.

It is a first hand account of a life spent on both sides of the prison wall, and a journey through more than half a century of Australian criminal and prison history.

This is Part One of The John Killick Interviews.

The full filmed interview, featuring historical photographs, newspaper reports and archival images relating to John's stories, is also available on YouTube @PrisonChroniclesChannel
