Jacki talks to Shane Paul O'Daugherty, a former member of the IRA who was convicted and sent to prison for bombing offenses and served 15 years of a multiple life sentence. O'Daugherty during his time in prison became committed to peace and opposed to the methods employed by the IRA. He now works with young people doing video and film projects and tries to make them understand that violence is not an appropriate response to the political situation in Northern Ireland. O'Daugherty has written a book about his experiences, 'The Volunteer', which is published by HarperCollins.
