"From Prison to Hero: Steve Gallant's Unexpected Act of Bravery"

Steve Gallant, a former prisoner, recounts his experience of being released from prison after 14 years and attending a conference celebrating the fifth anniversary of the Learning Together education program for prisoners. During the conference, a terrorist attack occurred, and Gallant bravely confronted the attacker, Usman Khan, using a narwhal tusk as a weapon. Despite his efforts, two people were fatally stabbed. Gallant reflects on his past violent actions and his commitment to change, highlighting the challenges of extremism and radicalization within the prison system. He was later released from prison and awarded the Queen's Medal for Gallantry for his actions during the attack.
