I Cooked Meth — And Got Caught by the Feds | Kevin Gilford
Kevin Gilford’s story is one of addiction, crime, survival, and redemption. In this interview, Kevin shares how he became addicted to meth, taught himself to cook it, and fell deep into the drug world — leading to time in California state prison and eventually federal prison, the same one Ian was locked up in. We dive into the realities of prison life, the underground meth scene, and how Kevin is now owning his past and rebuilding his future.

Inside My Stay in a Private Immigration Prison | Yosvani Gacita Negrin
Yosvani Gacita Negrin was born in Cuba but came to the U.S. as a baby, never realizing that his lack of citizenship would one day turn his life upside down. After getting involved with drugs and being arrested by the feds, he spent three years in a private prison before being transferred to ICE custody for deportation. But when Cuba refused to take him back, Yosvani was released—left in legal limbo, unable to fully move forward with his life.
