In this episode of Real Crime with Adam Shand, Adam sits down with Mark De Bono — a man whose life collided head-on with Melbourne’s criminal justice system during one of its most notorious eras. Mark recounts a chilling firsthand experience inside Russell Street Police Headquarters in the mid-1980s, where he says detectives dangled him out a window to force cooperation. A story whispered about for decades, but rarely spoken about publicly. The conversation spirals into a raw and unflinching account of addiction, trauma, violence and survival inside Victoria’s most feared institutions, including Pentridge Prison.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
