---------------------

Johnny was barely 18 years old when he committed his first and only crime: stealing a car. The sentence: 21 years in prison. One moment that defined his entire life.

---------------------

En este episodio de Penitencia, Jhonny nos enfrenta a una pregunta incómoda: ¿debe un error juvenil pagarse con toda una vida tras las rejas? Su historia nos obliga a repensar la justicia, la proporcionalidad de las condenas y las segundas oportunidades.

La adrenalina, las malas amistades y la presión de cumplir expectativas materiales lo llevaron a tomar un arma y subirse a ese auto. Su madre le había advertido esa misma mañana: "pórtate bien". Él respondió: "quiero vivir mi vida loca".

Hoy, con más de 50 tatuajes que narran su historia de rebeldía y aprendizaje, Jhonny reflexiona sobre cómo una sola decisión lo apartó de todo. La cárcel le enseñó a madurar, a valorar lo que antes despreciaba. Su madre, quien juró nunca visitarlo en prisión, ha estado en cada visita durante cinco años y medio. Su ex pareja, por quien arriesgó todo, lo abandonó y formó una familia con otro hombre.

In this episode of Penitencia, Johnny makes us face an uncomfortable question: should a teenage mistake cost someone their entire life behind bars? His story forces us to rethink justice, proportional sentencing, and second chances.

The adrenaline, bad friends, and pressure to meet material expectations led him to grab a gun and get in that car. His mother had warned him that same morning: "behave yourself." He answered: "I want to live my crazy life."

Today, with over 50 tattoos that tell his story of rebellion and lessons learned, Johnny reflects on how one single decision took everything away from him. Prison taught him to grow up, to value what he used to take for granted. His mother, who swore she'd never visit him in prison, has been there every visiting day for five and a half years. His ex-girlfriend, the one he risked everything for, left him and started a family with another man.
