Surviving the Justice System Part 2: From Incarceration to Rebuilding

What if your future came down to one decision: stand trial or take a plea? In this gripping episode, we follow Angel’s journey through the justice system, from rejecting trial and negotiating his own plea deals to enduring the unforgiving reality of long-term incarceration. He opens up about the violent rules of prison politics, the mental strain of life behind bars, and the hidden battles of reentering society after decades inside. It’s a raw, eye-opening account of choices, their consequences, and the resilience it takes to survive a system stacked against you.

Key Moments in this Episode:

• Why Angel avoided trial and negotiated plea deals to protect himself.
• The harsh prison hierarchy: race-based survival, violence, and constant power struggles.
• The emotional toll of missing family while in prison, especially during the holidays.
• How Angel used education to preserve his identity and sharpen his mind.
• The struggle to adjust to a world that has moved on without you.

This episode isn’t just about crime or punishment; it’s about humanity. Angel's story forces us to reconsider what justice looks like, what prison really does to people, and how nearly impossible it is to start over after being swallowed by the system. Listen now and challenge your assumptions as you walk a mile in the shoes of someone still finding his way after decades of being locked up.
