Prison and legal trouble
Federal indictments, Level 4 yards and life on the other side of a sentence.
For some people the bottom was a courtroom. These conversations are with guests who were indicted, sentenced and did the time, and who in several cases got clean inside.
They talk about what it takes to stay alive on a hard yard, what the sentence did to the people waiting for them, and the specific difficulty of rebuilding with a record attached.
