Second part of our discussion with ex prisoner Kevin Lane and this time it’s personal. Frank and honest about kidnapping, torture and his disgust of sharing prison space with paedophile inmates, it’s a window into the world of a lifer - ‘fitted up’ as a contracted hit man for a murder he maintains didn’t commit.

Wow, have you seen The Mortician, can you ever forget it? The true crime story of David Sconce and the Lamb Family Funeral Home and Crematorium in Pasadena is gripping, jaw dropping and all the more astonishing as Sconce himself tells the story of burning multiple bodies, harvesting organs, pulling gold teeth and even more! It's coincidental that this week (June 25 2025) Yorkshire funeral director Robert Bush appears in court in Hull accused of abusing the dead and mixing up ashes. Join Martin Frizell and Professor of Criminology David Wilson as they explore how some are prepared to make a killing out of the dead...

Kevin Lane is no angel but he says he’s not a killer.

Growing up he was known as Lights Out Lane, settling scores, usually with violence. For much of his adult life, Kevin was in prison, first for kidnapping, which he accepts, then for a brutal murder, which he denies. He was convicted of being a callous hitman and sentenced to life but Kevin claims he was ‘fitted up’ and wrote 10,000 letters in protest, earning the label the UK’s Mr. Shawshank.

He’s out with a tag on his leg now and joins broadcaster Martin Frizell and emeritus Professor of Criminology David Wilson to share his views on current prison life and his colourful past. It’s across two episodes and gives a rare insight into life inside what Kevin calls the concrete coffin.
