Jeffrey Archer reflected on what prison taught him in his final interview, which aired just days before his death.
Archer, who was a Conservative MP for five years before serving as the party’s deputy chairman, died “suddenly and peacefully at his home between writing sessions” on Monday, his publisher Harper Collins said.
He had a successful career as a novelist alongside politics and was made a life peer in 1992.
His political career was paused in 2001 with the disgrace of his being imprisoned for four years for perjury and perverting the course of justice.
Speaking to BBC Breakfast, in an interview that aired on September 29, Archer said he had “learnt a lot” from being in prison, adding “we all make mistakes”.
