Resilience in Adversity

Cassandra Sainsbury’s life changed forever when she was caught with 5.8kg of cocaine in Columbia. She spent three years in the notorious jail - a place so horrific she thought she’d leave in a body bag. She was sexually assaulted, stabbed by her cellmate and tortured by a prison dentist.

Cassie joins Gary Jubelin to share who she really is, and why there’s so much more to her than “Cocaine Cassie”.

Find out more in her book, Cocaine Cassie: Setting The Record Straight, here, published by New Holland Publishers, and available where all good books are sold.
