Subject: Punk Rock Opera Borstal Boy UK Prisons

Dear Caroline,

Thank you so much for your time and encouragement that you gave Rebekah and I in respect to our project Borstal Boy a Punk Rock Opera.

Please forward this request to Jeremy Wright MP Prison Minister as I am sure we could be of assistance in the process of rehabilitation of offenders in various jails of the UK. As mentioned I have already requested the Governor of Winchester prison to consider our request to perform our opera in Winchester Prison.

Kind Regards

David Clarke

For Whom It May Concern

Borstal Boy (History)

My brother and I were criminals in the 60’s and were sent to prison.

On leaving Dover Borstal I 1969 I have a three year career of Undetected crime

I had a bad experience on LSD on16th January 1970 and calle out to God for help. Jesus spoke to me I decide to turn my life around.

Learning to Read To Educate Myself

I learned to read as I needed to educate myself. thee were so many differences of opinion among the religious people that I had to know myself the truth about religious matters. I was virtually illiterate and my reading and writing skills very poor. This led me, at one time to write down over 4 pages of full scape legal paper of words I needed to understand. Within one year I had a fairly good understanding of the doctrines of grace and understood them to be true.

Confession To The Police to 24 crimes

It was then that I was able to confess to the police 24 crime that I had committed since leaving Dover Borstal in 1968. I was remarkably conditionally discharged for a period of 3 years to the amazement of us all.

Turned My Life around

I turned my life around at the age of 21 and learned to read in order to educated myself. I then got a technical, education became a service manager for Granada TV Rentals.

I later trained to be a lecturer, graduated with a Cert Ed, became a Baptist minister and taught electronics for 22 years in Luton College of Higher and Fareham College of Further Education.

Joining The Bierton Strict And Particular Baptists

I continued my studies and eventually after 6 years in 1976, was able to join the Bierton Strict and Particular Baptists and this was because the maintained and taught the Doctrines of Grace.

In 1982 I was called by the Lord and I was ordained by the church and sent to preach to gospel to where ever the lord opened the door.

Michael’s life to Prison In The Philippines

Mean while Michael continued his flamboyant life style became the company and managing director of Tudor Charm a manufacturing company in Milton Keynes. His company went into liquidation and he into depression. He went through a divorce and eventually went to Thailand to start a new business called Paradise Movies. There he got into various scams that were reported in The New Of The World. The he went to the Philippines and was arrested and sent to prison for 16 years.

News Of Michael Conversion

After 5 years of Michael imprisonment he too was converted after reading Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. It was then I decided to publish my book Converted on LSD Trip.

I then went on our first mission to the Philippines the we called Trojan Horse International and we work with many notorious criminals in New Bilibid Prison and other Jails. It was then that Michael and I wrote our book Trojan Warrior’s that contains the testimonies of 66 notorious criminals who had turned their lives around and been converted like Michael and I .

Asylum Seekers

On my return from mission work in the Jails of the Philippines in 2004 Michael died of Tuberculosis before our vision of bringing help to many was realized and I discovered very few people i the Uk found time to read my book Converted on LSD Trip, or could not read so I decided to put my story together as a PunK Rock Opera. Mike Fisher the band leader of The Asylum Seekers agree to do this and we are seeking to play the opera not only at venues in Hampshire but also in Winchester Prison. To this end we have the help of Caroline Dinenage MP for Gosport, Stubbington and lee On Solent, Mark Hoban MP for Fareham and Steve Brine MP for Winchester.

On my return from mission work in the Philippines I learned very few people found time to read and my story as told in Converted on LSD, was not being read. I had just written another book called Trojan Warriors, about our work in the Jails of the Philippines.

This moved me to devised a new idea to tell my story and I worked with Mick Fisher from Gosport, a former student of mine and his band The Asylum Seekers, to put my story together as Punk Rock Opera. The musical opera is designed to encourage people to read my story. Originally the Band wanted to portray the life of Carolin Dinenage MP but she declined. As a result I have been chosen along with another who has also agreed to be sung about.

At the same my book has been received by over 30 prison chaplains in the UK and I have spoken to many inmates at HMP Lewis, telling my story. As result requests have come for over 400 copies for inmates at HMP Belmarsh, HMP Manchester, HMP Risely and HMP Parkhurst.

As a result of the feedback that I have received from prison chaplains, and all sources, I have re written the book and this special addition is called Borstal Boys and intended for prison inmates.

HMP Winchester Prison

I have written to the Director of Winchester Prison with the support of Mark Hoban MP Fareham and Steve Brine MP for Winchester with a request to play our opera to prison inmates at Winchester. This would be for the benefit for all concerned to encourage them to read my story as I believe it will help any on their road to reformation.

Rebekah and I are to appear on Express Fm Radio on on Sunday evening with Terry Powell to tell our story.
