      <title>#26 - He Got 63 Years to Life for a Crime He Says He Didn’t Commit</title>
      <description>Edward Roy was 21 years old when he was sentenced to 63 years to life.

In this episode of Between the Lines, Edward opens up about growing up in Compton, playing football, getting pulled into the streets, and the choices that made him a familiar face in his neighborhood.

But Edward says the case he is serving time for is different.

He says he was not at the scene of the crime he was convicted for. According to Edward, he knew the people involved, but he was not there when it happened. He says his conviction was built on witness identification, with no DNA, no camera footage, no gunshot residue, no weapon, and no physical evidence tying him to the crime.

Edward is clear about one thing: he says he is wrongfully convicted, but not innocent of the lifestyle that put him in a position to be accused.

Since being incarcerated, Edward says he has worked to change his thinking, step away from gang life, take accountability for the choices he did make, and become a better father, husband, brother, and man.

One of the most emotional parts of this interview is Edward talking about losing his mother while in prison. Before she passed, she always told him to never stop fighting and to make his way home.

Now, that is the promise he is trying to keep.

This is a story about Compton, fatherhood, wrongful conviction, accountability, grief, resilience, and the fight to come home.

      <title>#25 - He Spent 21 Years in Solitary Confinement Before Everything Changed</title>
      <description>Timothy Cook has been incarcerated for 35 years.

When asked about his tattoo that says, “Hell Awaits.” He says that at the time, that phrase represented the way he saw himself, his future, and the world around him.

Growing up in Ventura, Timothy says he was exposed to poverty, domestic violence, racism, street life, addiction, and trauma from an early age. By his teenage years, he was already in the streets, using violence as a way to survive, control his environment, and protect himself from fear.

In prison, that mindset continued.

Timothy says he spent 21 years in the SHU, struggled with heroin addiction for decades, and became known for drugs, violence, and power. He says he had no real plan to change — until God, sobriety, his wife, programming, and learning about trauma gave him the clarity to finally see himself differently.

Now, after decades behind bars, Timothy says he is clean, married, learning emotional intelligence, participating in programs, and trying to help others understand that change is possible.

This is a story about trauma, addiction, prison, accountability, faith, recovery, grace, and the long road toward becoming someone new.

      <title>#24 - After 7 Prison Terms, He Says He Finally Became a Man in His 50s</title>
      <description>Born in San Diego, Brian grew up as a Navy brat and says he came from a decent home. He played baseball, played football, and had opportunities — but the pull of gang life, street culture, money, anger, and identity led him down a path that kept bringing him back to prison.

In this episode of Between the Lines, Brian opens up about his seven prison terms, his struggle with authority, the lifestyle that shaped him, and the mindset that followed him for decades.

One of the most powerful parts of this conversation is when Brian talks about “the third man” — the mask he wore to hide his emotions, avoid vulnerability, and protect himself from being truly seen.

Now, at 55, Brian says he did not start becoming a man until his 50s.

Today, he says he wants to repair his relationships with his children, return to his community, and help young people understand who they are before the streets define them.

This is a story about prison cycles, identity, fatherhood, faith, accountability, vulnerability, and becoming a different man.

      <title>#23 - After Years of Robberies, He Realized the Pain Started With His Father</title>
      <description>Frederick Bowden Jr. says he entered the streets at just 10 years old.

Growing up in Los Angeles, Frederick carried deep resentment toward his father. He wanted him to be a better husband, a better father, and a better example of what a man should be. Instead, Frederick says he ran to the streets, learned the wrong version of manhood, and eventually wanted to become “worse” than his father.

That pain shaped years of destructive choices.

Now, after 22 years incarcerated, Frederick looks back with a completely different understanding. Through self-help work, education, accountability, and a powerful timeline exercise, he began to see how much of his hurt came from his relationship with his father.

Before his father passed away, Frederick called him and told him he wanted to rebuild their relationship. His father agreed to stop drinking — and Frederick says he did. In one of the most emotional parts of this interview, Frederick shares how he was able to tell his father that he loved him, appreciated him, and forgave him before he passed away.

In this episode of Between the Lines, Frederick opens up about childhood trauma, growing up in the streets, prison, fatherhood, his daughter’s words, the ripple effect of his choices, and the forgiveness that changed the way he sees himself and others.

This is a story about resentment, accountability, fatherhood, healing, and the long road toward becoming a different man.

      <title>#22 - Man Explains How He Walked Away From His Gang in Prison</title>
      <description>Alexis grew up in Union City in the East Bay Area, raised mostly by his mother. His father was alive, but not present in his life, and after losing a stepfather figure he had accepted, Alexis says he began drifting away from his family.



At 14, he started running with a gang.



At first, it felt like acceptance. It felt like belonging. But over time, what started small became more serious, and Alexis found himself living by a set of beliefs that pulled him farther from his family, his future, and the person he could have become.



In this episode of Between the Lines, Alexis opens up about joining gang life, leaving it behind in prison, entering recovery, finding faith, and learning what accountability really means.



He also speaks about the unconditional love of his mother, the moment he told her he was walking away from gang life, and the message he would give to his younger self:

Mom was still waiting for you to come home.



Today, Alexis says he is focused on recovery, faith, helping others, and proving through his actions that he is not the same person he used to be.



This is a story about belonging, consequences, accountability, faith, recovery, a mother’s love, and the belief that it is never too late to change.

<p>At first, it felt like acceptance. It felt like belonging. But over time, what started small became more serious, and Alexis found himself living by a set of beliefs that pulled him farther from his family, his future, and the person he could have become.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>In this episode of Between the Lines, Alexis opens up about joining gang life, leaving it behind in prison, entering recovery, finding faith, and learning what accountability really means.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>He also speaks about the unconditional love of his mother, the moment he told her he was walking away from gang life, and the message he would give to his younger self:</p>
<p>Mom was still waiting for you to come home.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Today, Alexis says he is focused on recovery, faith, helping others, and proving through his actions that he is not the same person he used to be.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>This is a story about belonging, consequences, accountability, faith, recovery, a mother’s love, and the belief that it is never too late to change.</p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices. Visit <a href="https://podcastchoices.com/adchoices">podcastchoices.com/adchoices</a></p>]]>

      <title>#21 - He Reached the Top of Gang Life… Then Realized It Gave Him Nothing</title>
      <description>Luis Lopez grew up in South Central Los Angeles, where the streets seemed to offer the things he felt were missing at home: acceptance, attention, money, status, and belonging.By 14, Luis says he had dedicated his life to gang culture.

His message to young people is simple: it is not worth it.This conversation is about choices, consequences, fatherhood, accountability, and the possibility of change after years behind bars.

      <title>#18 - Former Prison Shot Caller Explains How He Climbed the Ranks</title>
      <description>Teiquon Lewis is serving 150 years to life with five separate life sentences for second-degree robberies and attempted robbery as a third-strike case.

In this episode of Between the Lines, Teiquon opens up about growing up in Vallejo, California during the crack era. After losing his father at a young age and growing up around poverty, drugs, and street life, Tyquann says he became known in his town for the wrong things — selling drugs, robberies, and violence.

At 14 years old, he started selling crack. By 17, he tried the drug he was selling and says he was hooked from the first time. His life quickly shifted from making money to addiction, robberies, and repeated prison sentences.

After being sentenced to 150 years to life, Teiquon says he was angry at everyone except himself. That anger pulled him deeper into prison politics, where he became involved with prison gangs, drugs, violence, and life as a shot caller on Level 4 yards, including Pelican Bay and New Folsom.

But after losing family members, his wife, and decades of his life behind bars, Teiquon began asking himself who he really was and what kind of legacy he wanted to leave. Through faith, self-help programs, accountability, and service, he says he has become a changemaker — someone committed to helping others avoid the life that cost him everything.

This is a story about the crack era, addiction, three strikes sentencing, prison politics, power, loss, accountability, faith, and redemption.

      <title>#17 - Life in Prison for a Robbery? Michael Montes Tells His Story</title>
      <description>Michael Montes is currently incarcerated for two counts of second-degree robbery and two counts of intimidating a witness from reporting a crime with gang enhancements. He has been locked up since 2009.

In this episode of Between the Lines, Michael opens up about growing up in Colton, California, surrounded by gang life, domestic violence, and chaotic environments that shaped what he thought was normal. His father, grandfather, uncles, and mother were all connected to gang culture, and Michael says he grew up wanting to be like the people around him.

At 19 years old, Michael confronted two men he believed had stolen from one of his friends. He took their belongings, punched one of them, and threatened them if they called police. At the time, he says he thought it was “nothing.” But because of the charges and gang enhancements, he received a life sentence.

Michael was eventually sent to Pelican Bay, where he says he had to adapt to one of the most intense prison environments in California. For years, he wore a mask, tried to survive, and continued living out the destructive identity he had carried most of his life.

But through disappointment, accountability, education, the Defy program, carpentry, Healing Through Art, and learning how to serve others, Michael says his life began to change. Today, he says he wants to use his story to help young people, support those impacted by domestic violence, and show others that there is another way.

This is a story about childhood trauma, gang life, domestic violence, accountability, prison, transformation, service, and finding purpose after a life sentence.

      <title>#16 - He Murdered a Witness… Then One Letter From His Daughter Broke Him</title>
      <description>Saahdi Coleman is serving 84 years, eight months to life for murder, arson, and discharge of a firearm.

In this episode of Between the Lines, Saahdi opens up about the childhood trauma that shaped him, including the moment he walked in on his father attempting suicide while on drugs when he was just 11 years old. After his parents became addicted to crack cocaine, his life changed overnight. He became homeless, searched for acceptance, and eventually found himself surrounded by gang members who gave him the identity he was desperate to find.

By 16, Saahdi says he was walking a prison mainline with grown men. Instead of rehabilitation, he says prison trained him to become a better criminal. Years later, after being released, he lived a double life — trying to build a family while still holding onto the gang lifestyle that would eventually lead to murder.

      <itunes:summary>Saahdi Coleman is serving 84 years, eight months to life for murder, arson, and discharge of a firearm.

In this episode of Between the Lines, Saahdi opens up about the childhood trauma that shaped him, including the moment he walked in on his father attempting suicide while on drugs when he was just 11 years old. After his parents became addicted to crack cocaine, his life changed overnight. He became homeless, searched for acceptance, and eventually found himself surrounded by gang members who gave him the identity he was desperate to find.

By 16, Saahdi says he was walking a prison mainline with grown men. Instead of rehabilitation, he says prison trained him to become a better criminal. Years later, after being released, he lived a double life — trying to build a family while still holding onto the gang lifestyle that would eventually lead to murder.

      <title>#15 - He Was 11 When Gang Life Found Him... Now He's Serving Life</title>
      <description>Daniel Nunez is serving life without parole for aiding and abetting murder. In this episode of Between the Lines, Daniel opens up about growing up without his father, being surrounded by gang life at a young age, and how he started believing prison was simply the life he was meant to live. 

After nearly 20 years in prison, Daniel reflects on regret, accountability, fatherhood, and the moment he realized he had been “lying to himself.” Today, he mentors others, helps men earn their GED, and says his sons are his reason for living.

      <title>#14 - Former LA Pimp Faced 7 Life Sentences | Interview with Chosen</title>
      <description>Roderick Cooley, also known as Chosen, grew up in Los Angeles and says he was one of the founding members of the Rolling 40 Crips. As a teenager, he became known in the streets as C. Capone, or Crazy Capone, and eventually fell deeper into gang life, hustling, pimping, drugs, robberies, and repeated prison sentences.  In this episode of Between the Lines, Chosen opens up about the life he once glorified — from helping start a gang war, to becoming a pimp, to being known as the “Flashy Dresser Bandit” after a string of robberies in Los Angeles. After being arrested in 2022, he says he went from possibly receiving a program to suddenly facing seven life sentences.

      <title>#13 - He Was Convicted of 6 Murders… Then He Held His Daughter</title>
      <description>Sonny Bui is serving life without the possibility of parole after being convicted of six murders and eight attempted murders. In this episode of Between the Lines, he opens up about coming to the United States from Vietnam, growing up in California, joining the Asian Boys gang at 14, and how violence became part of his identity.



But after decades in prison, Sonny reflects on the pain he caused, the families impacted by his crimes, and the moment that began to change him: seeing his daughter for the first time. He shares what rehabilitation, remorse, and accountability look like from behind prison walls, and why he believes people should not be defined forever by their worst decision.

      <title>#8 - He Says Prison Is a World Where Violence is the Only Language</title>
      <description>Interviewee: Richard Dor
Interview Date: October 14, 2025

In this episode of Between the Lines, we sit down with Richard, a Haitian-American from Pasadena, who has spent 31 years in prison.

He talks about growing up between Haitian values and street pressure, how “loyalty” became a life sentence, and why he says there’s nothing to glorify about gang culture, prison life, or violence.

      <title>#3 - Pronounced Dead at 17... Now Fighting Life in Prison</title>
      <description>At 17, Chris was pronounced dead. At 25, he was sentenced to life without parole. But his story isn’t about what he lost—it’s about what he’s fighting for. From growing up in a Compton gang family to surviving a near-fatal shooting, Chris shares his powerful journey of transformation.

Now, from behind prison walls, he’s found a purpose greater than himself—mentoring others, embracing faith, and advocating for those who never got a fair shot.

This is not just another inmate story, this is a story of redemption, accountability, and the fight for justice.
