Steven Beattie has become a junior doctor two decades after leaving a Scottish prison and resolving to change the direction of his life.
Beattie left what is described as Scotland’s most violent prison 20 years ago. At the time, he made a commitment to turn his life around and set himself a clear plan for achieving that goal.
His journey has since taken him from being a young offender to working in medicine. Beattie says he followed the plan he had written for himself, eventually reaching the position of junior doctor.
The account presents his progress as a significant personal transformation, tracing the change from his time in custody to the start of a professional medical career.
