In this gripping episode, we dive into the turbulent journey of a former Rikers Island correctional officer. From confronting the harsh realities of prison life and engaging in underground activities to facing a DEA sting operation and enduring incarceration, this narrative is a raw and honest account of downfall and redemption. Our guest's transition from enforcer to inmate and his post-prison path of writing and rebuilding offers a unique perspective on resilience, hope, and the complex dynamics of the criminal justice system.
