Haase remained at Liverpool’s Walton jail but Vaughan was transferred to Gartree prison in Leicester. Furious Haase waged a war of violence against the prison system, beating up guards and sparking a string of mini-riots in an attempt to get back at the authorities he blamed for stitching him up. He spent four years in solitary confinement as punishment, becoming increasingly embittered and cut off. He caused fights with other prisoners and took on the daddies and godfathers of the system without care.

In between robbing post offices, he’d turn up for work, as though to prove he was a regular blue-collar guy.
