From the streets of Lancaster to the heart of South Central LA, Tyler Corcoran made the unthinkable choice at 14- he ran away from home and joined the 120 Raymond Crips — as a white gang member in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in America. By 17, he was sentenced to 80 years to life under California's Three Strikes Law. What followed was a harrowing journey through Level 4 maximum-security prisons, prison riots, near-death experiences, and intense racial politics. But in the darkest place imaginable, Tyler found light. He dropped out of the gang, transformed his mindset, and became a voice of empathy, growth, and redemption from within the system. Now free, Tyler shares his powerful story of survival, change, and hope — and what it really takes to make it out alive. WATCH UNTIL THE END to hear: -What it’s like being a white Crip in prison -How prison politics nearly cost him his life -Why he chose to drop out and pursue inner peace -How he beat a life sentence and rebuilt his life -The emotional reunion with his family and his mission now Go Support Tyler!
