What facing 200 prison years taught me about happiness | Shaun Attwood | TEDxHSG

Can you imagine what it is like facing a 200 year prison sentence? Join Shaun Attwood, a former stock-market millionaire and Ecstasy supplier turned public speaker, author and activist, as he describes what it was like to end up in Arizona’s deadliest jail and most importantly, what his shocking experience has taught him about happiness in life.
Shaun Attwood is a former stock-market millionaire and Ecstasy supplier turned public speaker, author and activist, who is banned from America for life.
Shaun’s writing - smuggled out of the jail with the highest death rate in America run by Sheriff Joe Arpaio - attracted international media attention to the human rights violations: murders by guards and gang members, dead rats in the food, cockroach infestations…
While incarcerated, Shaun was forced to reappraise his life. He read over 1,000 books in just under six years. By studying original texts in psychology and philosophy, he sought to better understand himself and his past behaviour. He credits books as being the lifeblood of his rehabilitation.
Shaun now tells his story to schools to put young people off drugs and crime. He campaigns against injustice via his books and blog, Jon’s Jail Journal. He has appeared on the BBC, Sky News and TV worldwide to talk about issues affecting prisoners’ rights.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    there is never a wrong place or time to do good, and never a wrong place or time to choose happiness, it can never be too late to transform your mind into living through a more positive and happy perspective. your life is your own piece of artwork and only you can make it something which makes you happy and appreciate as a blessing.

    Telling true horror stories with so much fun/humor (ironic it is). . .and wow - still smiling! That's powerful, that's courage. That smile kept you alive through hard times. You are the kind of person who will, even at the end of life - at the very moment of dying - will be telling jokes , smiling, and laughing. This is the rare kind of person who can have fun while going through pain.

    I wonder if the breathing issues he suffered in jail will now affect him for the rest of his life? I mean what kind of violence he may have suffered physically to be the way he is now. I don't know the cruel details of what he went through only by the snippets of content I hear in this video. And speaking to people is nerve-wracking at the best of times. I just got to watch this talk today. Came across his story a month ago via UniLad when watching docus on the rave scene in the UK. His story was suggested. Didn't realize until recently he has his own podcasts. Now I understand his podcasts better knowing his history. And it takes guts to admit to wrongdoing and to try and protect others.

And just like any other criminal he takes a shine to, President Trump pardoned him just as he was about to go get locked up inside his own Hellhole for a year for criminal contempt. Mind you, it's still not a jail that you want to be locked up in...........

    Catrina Raiford what you have already achieved is incredibly impressive, just think of all of the hard work you put in already, you owe it to yourself to continue, otherwise it was all for nothing. Discipline is so hard to get started again once it resets back to zero but something as small as tidying your room can literally change your life, the effects of this will ripple through into other areas of your life, it's just taking that first step that seems so daunting and hard but it gets easier once you get the ball rolling, you just need to create order out of the chaos and before you know it you have an established routine, you are exercising regularly and happier/healthier than you have ever been, both mentally and physically. I am not trying to belittle your battle with this by over simplifying how hard it might be, but the first step is the most important one and I sincerely hope you find your way through these struggles and find happiness Catrina, you have limitless potential and you are worth it. Good luck.

    I think what scares me the most about this post, is not this man's horrific ordeal, of which I believe very few of us could have survived - but the fact that 5.3 thousand people have complained about him having a dry mouth while feeling the story. (look at the number in Kieran McDonnell's comment below) The fact that so many people have chosen to focus on such a petty thing when the subject of the talk is so serious and so moving, well it says so much about the terrible state of our society today. Congratulations and thank you Mr Atwood for sharing your amazing and inspiring story.
