Wil Patterson

Wil Patterson was living in Melbourne’s  eastern suburbs when he was arrested for insurance theft. After serving a prison sentence Wil came home and rebuilt his life. Mr Ordinary Goes To Jail is Wil's first book and tells the true story of what led to his crime, and of his experiences inside Victoria's prison system.

Wil now works in the funeral industry and says what he learned about people in prison helps him in his job every day in situations of high emotional stress and with people in crisis.
