I Was a Gang Parole Officer — Then Had To Survive 5 Years In Prison | Michael Dodge

Description

Michael Dodge grew up in a dysfunctional household, moved around constantly, and eventually found himself caught up in the streets, gangs, and addiction. He turned his life around and became a parole officer specializing in gangs for the Indiana Department of Correction. But after becoming addicted to painkillers, his life unraveled again. Michael committed a crime involving a confidential informant, was arrested, and sentenced to five years in prison — inside the same Indiana prison system he had once worked for. _____________________________________________ Thank you to AG1, HUNGRYROOT & CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: AG1: For a limited time, save 20% on your first subscription order of AG1 Next Gen or AG1 Pro at https://drinkag1.com/lockedin _____________________________________________ Hungryroot: Explore my Hungryroot Digital Cookbook "THE COMMISSARY UPGRADE" at https://hungryroot.com/LOCKEDIN _____________________________________________ Cash App: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.
