I Was a White Crip — Then Spent Years in State & Federal Prison | Joshua Bentz

Описание

Joshua Bentz grew up in Connecticut, watched his parents split, felt unwanted by his mother, took to the streets, became a White Crip, cycled through juvenile detention, Connecticut state prison, and eventually the federal prison system — navigating addiction, prison politics, gang life, and the specific difficulty of finding work as a felon — before finally finding sobriety and the turning point that everything that life had cost him desperately needed. _____________________________________________ #federalprison #prisonstory #truecrimestories _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.
