Jeffrey Archer donated royalties from his prison diary to the People’s Opportunity to Work (POW) Trust, which has helped hundreds of former inmates rebuild their lives. The charity was founded by Peter Sainsbury, a financier who used his inheritance to fund its work after his release from jail for a £3 million fraud. However, Sainsbury was back in prison last night starting another five-year sentence after convicted of another series of banking frauds to raise £2.5 million to support the charity when his money ran out.”
