Pistorius will be re-sentenced next month for the murder of Steenkamp, his then-girlfriend who he shot through a bathroom door in 2013.
In his first television interview since killing Steenkamp, the former Olympic and Paralympic sprinter told ITV: "I don't want to go back to jail. I don't want to have to waste my life sitting there.
"If I was afforded the opportunity of redemption, I would like to help the less fortunate like I had in my past.
