Vu Pham

True Freedom after 19 birthdays behind bars. Surviving a bullet to the head in the aftermath of Asian crime gangs. Mr Pham found himself jailed in Silverwater, Parklea, Long bay, Windsor, Cessnock, and Goulburn correctional centres. Mr Pham served time with the most notorious criminals in Australia. Stabbings, murder, and retribution were a part of life on the inside. After the pain and scars of incarceration, Mr Pham now shares his story in the hope of diverting young people off the path he once lived. Today Mr Pham is a community leader with a drive to give back to the community he once terrorised. His work with inspire180project as a mentor was recognised by receiving 2017 Lexicon community impact award.
