Summary

From their East End beginnings, the Kray twins would go on to run one of the most powerful and feared criminal organisations in London. Their influence wouldn’t only be felt by the nightclubs and casinos of the capital but also some of the highest tiers of government. They were untouchable, and the Krays remain a much-remembered part of sixties culture like the celebrity icons that filled their establishments. This is the story of Reggie and Ronnie Kray... (Part 1 of 2).

0:00.0	Welcome to Season 3, Episode 1 of They Walk Among us, a podcast dedicated to UK true crime.
0:16.9	This is part one of a two-part story.
0:21.6	Listener caution is advised as this episode contains adult themes and descriptions that some listeners may find distressing.
0:34.9	Reginald Cray, Prisoner Number 058111, Extract from Prison File, Type of Report Redacted.
0:45.3	His general behaviour is good and he appears to be able to cope with prison life in general.
0:51.3	He continues to play a supportive role to his brother and although it is not easy
0:55.8	to gauge his innermost thoughts, there are hints that he is growing tired of the support he needs
1:00.9	to give his twin brother. Just as his brother's demeanour may have improved, Reginald has deteriorated

1:54.1	Extract from a report on Prison Conduct.
1:57.6	I think it is true to say that Ronald Cray remains very dependent on his twin and indeed upon staff especially medical for his emotional survival.
2:07.3	He tends to get into more usually minor trouble than his brother.
2:11.9	Both Crays have progressed better than one would have anticipated.
2:15.5	It is clear that they still have some influence over their peers
