From armed robberies to surviving the brutal world of gang violence, solitary confinement, and the inner politics of Bloods and Crips, Josh takes us deep inside the culture of Rikers Island at its most violent peak. He eventually joins a Bloods faction and gives jaw-dropping insight into prison gangs, extortion, and the psychological toll of life behind bars. This is one of the most intense and brutally honest looks at street crime, urban survival, and the long road to redemption ever told on this podcast. If you're into true crime, gang culture, and prison stories, you won’t want to miss this one.
