    He will make a comeback.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Exclusive: Disgraced Scott Harrison says he's fitter than ever in prison

    Nov 8 2009 Marion Scott, Sunday Mail
    SHAMED boxing champ Scott Harrison has revealed he is fitter than ever because of a gruelling training regime in his Spanish prison.
    In his first interview since being jailed, Harrison claimed to have turned his life around.
    The former WBO featherweight champion works out daily at the notorious maximum-security jail Finca La Moraga near Malaga.
    The 31-year-old has even become fluent in Spanish as he bids to rebuild his broken life and win back his titles.
    Harrison was jailed in April at Malaga's high court after pleading guilty to a double assault and attempted robbery.
    During a visit, he told the Sunday Mail: "I get up around 7.30am and half an hour later all the numbers checks are carried out by the warders.
    "I like to do an hour's run on the treadmill then 60 minutes of weights.
    "I've also got a cleaning job. Work is voluntary but it helps pass time. I'll usually spend three hours studying, reading or writing letters to family back home."
    The 31-year-old, from Cambuslang, near Glasgow, added: "Around 20 different nationalities are held inside the jail, including Russian hitmen and Italian mobsters. There are killers, rapists, child abusers - the lot.
    "Everyone is brand new and helps each other and speaking the local language makes all the difference."
    Harrison was accused of attacking a police officer and battering another man in October 2006.
    He and his uncle Jack McGill - a convicted drug dealer who later hung himself - attacked the pair in Alhaurin el Grande near Malaga after a boozy night out.

    He was transferred to Finca La Moraga - ironically dubbed the VIP nick - to serve his sentence.
    He opened up during a 45-minute visit conducted through a glass safety screen and a phone/intercom system.
    Harrison - looking tanned and fit - said: "It's definitely not a holiday camp here but I can't complain too much.
    "I'm treated well by the guards and other guys in here.
    "I've been studying hard and taught myself to speak Spanish. I'm pretty much fluent. It helps when you need to speak to the guards. It also means I can talk to other boys locked up here."
    The ex-champ added: "There is a huge difference between this place and Barlinnie. Over here I can have access to the new gym throughout the day.
    "Back in Glasgow they would lock you up for 23 hours a day if you didn't want to work."
    The prison sits in a lush valley filled with olive trees and citrus groves 15 minutes from airport. But it is a world away from the golden beaches and tourist hotspots on the coast.
    Inmates are held in a series of lowrise blocks - or modules. Harrison is locked up in number 10.
    Armed guards rule the maze of corridors and cramped cells, which each hold a minimum two cons.
    In summer the temperatures can hit 50C but in winter they plunge as the blocks are hit by frost.
    Harrison was arrested while travelling to the Costa del Sol with dad Peter and mum Agnes.
    He recalled: "Being arrested when I arrived at the airport didn't come as a huge shock. I had read in the papers that there was an arrest warrant out for me. I was taken to Malaga high court then transferred to jail.
    "I was possibly facing around seven-and-a-half-years if it went to trial so I pleaded guilty. I never had a chance to talk to my fiancee Stacey or my mum and dad."
    Wives and partners are allowed intimate visitation rights with banged-up hubbies once a month.
    Harrison told how he looks forward to the two-hour sessions every four weeks.
    He said: "Instead of talking to each other in the cubicle via the phone, you spend time with each other in a private room. It makes Travelodge look like luxury but at least it's clean.
    "I count the days to each visit - it makes being here easier."
    Harrison has been dogged by problems relating to alcohol, drugs and depression. He also had his licence to fight removed by the sport's governing body.
    But he is determined to put all those issues in the past and return to the ring - and believes he can still win two world titles.
    He said: "I'm looking forward to boxing again in Scotland and putting on a show for the fans and doubters.
    "I can't do anything about regaining my licence until I get out of here. But I am confident I will win it back and I know I can be the best.
    "I want to win the super featherweight and the lightweight titles within five years."
    Harrison has vowed to keep his head down and finish his stretch.
    As the buzzer sounded for the end of the session, Harrison added: "I'm not blaming anyone else apart from myself for where I am. But I came to Spain to face up to what I did and take my punishment.
    "I'll have a clean slate, a new start and the determination to show everyone I'm back."

    Great interview, looks like he has rehabilitated and will be back.

    I hope so Master but this is about the sixth comeback since 2005 and each one he has gone back to his old ways, I hope he sorted his demons out in jail, but being inside it's quite easy as everything is done for you it's all structured, but when your an addict and he is out and is responsible for himself it's a different story.

    That is true, I think he can "cure" the drug, anger and alcohol problems but the depression is the hardest battle to control.
