After Dark Bandits: Doug's Last Word | Doug Morgan

About this episode

Doug Morgan reflects on his life of crime and his journey towards mentoring youth.

When Doug Morgan first sat down with Adam Shand, the plan was simple: get both twins on the record, tell the full story of Victoria's After Dark Bandits, and move on. Nearly a year later, Adam is back with Doug for one final conversation — and this time, it's personal. More than fifty years on from the bank and betting shop robberies that defined their notoriety, Doug Morgan is done looking back. He's running youth workshops, mentoring young people away from the path he took, and quietly tending to the memory of the father who shaped him. In this candid closing chapter, Doug reflects on the loyalty that drew him into a life of crime, the intimidation he witnessed and despised inside Pentridge, and the strange, volatile brotherhood that has defined his life far longer than any prison sentence.
