    I Survived 14 Months In The Hole: The Reality Of My Life In Federal Prison

    Jeremy Grove spent 46 months in federal prison and approximately 14 months in lockdown and the SHU after receiving a five-year mandatory-minimum sentence for marijuana trafficking.In this episode of the 10 Toes Podcast, Jeremy reveals what federal prison was really like—from surrendering at a prison camp to being transferred through multiple federal facilities. He shares firsthand stories about contraband cellphones, extended isolation, prison lockdowns, violence over phones and the politics that controlled everyday life behind the wall.Jeremy explains how getting caught with a cellphone and posting online resulted in one of his longest stretches in the hole. After months without outside communication, phones became one of the most valuable—and dangerous—forms of contraband in the prison system. He also describes the dramatic differences between institutions, including Fort Dix and Oakdale, and how every transfer forced him to adjust to a new environment.Before prison, Jeremy became involved in a marijuana-trafficking operation that shipped custom foam mattresses containing up to 40 pounds of weed. An airport encounter involving more than $80,000 helped place him on the federal government’s radar, eventually leading to an investigation, guilty plea and mandatory federal sentence.This episode explores:• Serving 46 months in federal prison • Spending approximately 14 months in the SHU and lockdown • Getting caught with a contraband cellphone • The underground prison-phone economy • Violence and politics inside federal facilities • Life inside a federal prison camp • Transfers between Fort Dix, Oakdale and other institutions • COVID-era prison lockdowns • Jeremy’s experience with the RDAP program • Receiving money and support from strangers while incarcerated • Marijuana sentencing and the War on Drugs • Writing the 632-page novel Legalized behind bars • Rebuilding his life after federal prison Jeremy’s story exposes the reality of federal prison, the mental toll of extended isolation and how an operation involving weed-filled mattresses ultimately cost him years of his freedom.📚 Jeremy’s novel, Legalized, is available on Amazon.🛒 Dope Boy Empire Merch: https://www.dbeapparel.com🔗 CONNECT WITH 10 TOES PODCAST👉 Jason on Instagram / 8upjay 👉 Jason on TikTok / 8upjay 🔗 CONNECT WITH JEREMY👉 https://www.instagram.com/jerrydavid789/#FederalPrison #PrisonStories #LifeBehindBars #MarijuanaTrafficking #10ToesPodcast

    I Was Married To Boston George: The Reality Of His Life After Prison

    Ronda Jung, wife of notorious cocaine smuggler George Jung, reveals the private reality of his life in federal prison and what happened after the man portrayed by Johnny Depp in Blow finally came home.Their relationship began after Ronda’s young daughter wrote George a letter in prison. George responded with fatherly advice, Ronda wrote him back and the two developed an intimate correspondence that continued for approximately 14 years before they ever met in person.Ronda shares what George was really like behind bars, why his celebrity status protected him on the prison compound and how Johnny Depp received special visits so he could study George’s voice, movements and personality before portraying him in Blow. She also explains why George could never bring himself to watch the movie that made him famous.When George was released in 2014, the world assumed “Boston George” still had millions hidden away. The truth was completely different. According to Ronda, George once had approximately $58 million in a bank before losing it, while other money buried behind his parents’ home was reportedly discovered years later by a new homeowner.Despite being recognized everywhere he went, George struggled financially after prison. Ronda describes living in hotels and temporary apartments, depending on managers who controlled their housing, counting change for basic expenses and watching one promised business opportunity after another collapse.George remained under strict federal supervision and was constantly afraid of being returned to prison. That fear became reality after a former manager reported an unauthorized trip to his probation officer, sending George back to jail shortly before Christmas.Ronda also opens up about:• Writing to George for approximately 14 years while he was incarcerated • Their unconventional prison letters and first meeting after his release • Johnny Depp’s private visits with George in federal prison • How closely Blow followed George’s real story • Why George refused a blank check and wanted to earn his own money • The truth about his missing $58 million fortune • Cash hidden throughout his properties and behind his parents’ home • Going from millions of dollars to counting change after prison • The managers and business deals that repeatedly failed • George’s relationship with his daughter, Kristina • His friendship with former smugglers, mob figures and DEA agents • Why George returned to jail after his release • His final years, declining health and apology before his death • Ronda’s collection of approximately 350 letters from George • Their plans to create a foundation supporting prison reform Behind the cartel legend and Hollywood movie was a man who no longer wanted mansions or millions. Ronda says George wanted a small home, stability and the chance to live quietly—but fame, prison and his past continued following him until the end.Ronda is currently writing Letters From George, a book incorporating hundreds of letters from their years together. She hopes to use the project to continue George’s interest in prison reform and the lives destroyed by excessive sentences.🛒 Dope Boy Empire Merch: https://www.dbeapparel.com🔗 CONNECT WITH 10 TOES PODCAST👉 Jason on Instagram / 8upjay 👉 Jason on TikTok / 8upjay 🔗 CONNECT WITH RONDA👉 Ronda on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ronda.clayspinelloJoin 10 Toes After Dark Patreon exclusive content 👉 / 10toespodcastStatements made during this episode reflect the guest’s personal recollections and opinions.

    I Chose 10 Years In Prison Over Snitching: The Full Story

    At only 23 years old, Ralph—known in the streets as “Mickey Mouse”—was given three choices: cooperate against three marijuana grow houses for five years, take his chances at trial and face 17 years and nine months, or accept 10 years in federal prison. Ralph refused to cooperate and signed for the decade.In this full episode of the 10 Toes Podcast, Ralph explains how the choices that made him a millionaire at 17 ultimately cost him ten years of his life. He describes entering the federal prison system during the early 1990s, dealing with SIS officers, receiving serious disciplinary incident reports and becoming an interpreter for Cuban inmates.Ralph also shares what federal prison was like during an era when long sentences, powerful criminal organizations and inmates with nothing to lose shaped the environment. He discusses the Cuban inmates who stood together inside, the history surrounding the Oakdale and Atlanta prison riots, serving time alongside major figures, encountering fathers incarcerated with their sons and learning how quickly prison politics could turn dangerous.While incarcerated, Ralph received disciplinary reports involving bodily injury, a riot-related incident and a failed drug test. He was also inside federal prison when his brother was murdered—a loss he was forced to process while serving his sentence far away from home.Before federal prison, Ralph says he made his first million dollars at 17 and became involved in Miami’s cocaine trade. After selling seven kilos in two days, his operation expanded until he was receiving as many as 100 kilos every month from people he says were connected to the Cali Cartel.As millions of dollars moved through the organization, Ralph and his associates opened a computer company that purchased processors, memory chips and other computer parts for export throughout Central and South America. According to Ralph, the company was used to launder nearly $96 million in drug proceeds during the early days of the internet.The operation collapsed after federal agents intercepted a container containing more than 800 kilos of cocaine. During the controlled operation that followed, 25 kilos were delivered to Ralph’s home, co-defendants began cooperating and Ralph found himself facing a massive federal conspiracy case.This episode explores:• Why Ralph accepted 10 years instead of cooperating • Entering federal prison at only 23 years old • Prison disciplinary reports and dealing with SIS • Becoming an interpreter for Cuban inmates • Racial alliances and prison politics • Serving time around lifers and major criminal figures • Learning his brother had been murdered while incarcerated • Federal prison recreation, softball and weightlifting • Making his first million dollars at 17 • Moving as many as 100 kilos every month • Working with people connected to the Cali Cartel • Laundering drug money through computer exports • The shipment containing more than 800 kilos • How cooperating defendants changed his federal case • Why Ralph says there is no glory in receiving a life sentence Ralph’s story is not only about cartel money and cocaine trafficking. It is about the moment the lifestyle ended, the ten years he lost inside federal prison and why he eventually realized that surviving the game means knowing when it is over.🛒 Dope Boy Empire Merch: https://www.dbeapparel.com🔗 CONNECT WITH 10 TOES PODCAST 👉 Jason on Instagram: @8upjay 👉 Jason on TikTok: @8upjay 🔗 CONNECT WITH RALPH Search “Record Ralph” on social media.🛒 Dope Boy Empire Merch: https://www.dbeapparel.com🔗 CONNECT WITH 10 TOES PODCAST👉 Jason on Instagram / 8upjay 👉 Jason on TikTok / 8upjay 🔗 CONNECT WITH RALPH👉 Ralph on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wreakitralph43Join 10 Toes After Dark Patreon exclusive content 👉 / 10toespodcast

    I Was the Grand Theft Auto King of South Florida

    Franky was only 16 when a friend from Sunday school showed him a key that could unlock multiple Toyota Tacomas. What began as joyriding quickly became a South Florida car-theft operation involving tow-truck drivers, hotel insiders, rental cars, luxury vehicles, chop shops and orders for specific car parts.In this full episode of the 10 Toes Podcast, Franky reveals how he became known as the “Grand Theft Auto of South Florida.” He explains how stolen cars were located, unlocked, started and delivered—and why he sometimes received only $500 or $600 for taking vehicles worth thousands.Franky also opens up about stealing rental cars from hotels, supplying vehicles to chop shops, participating in staged accidents and using insiders to access cars, expensive suits, checks and other property. After an earlier grand-theft conviction placed him on probation, another arrest threatened to connect him to nine additional stolen vehicles. With an accomplice cooperating and investigators closing in, Franky accepted a prison sentence before the case could grow even larger.Once inside the Florida prison system, Franky experienced a completely different world. He describes South Florida Reception Center, Lake Butler, Columbia Correctional Institution and a Gainesville work camp while sharing what he witnessed involving violent correctional officers, racial alliances, prison weapons, lifers and the unwritten rules inmates follow to survive.Franky also challenges the exaggerated prison stories found online. Although violence was always possible, he explains why inmates who avoided gambling, gangs, disrespect and unnecessary conflicts could often complete their sentences without constantly fighting.This episode explores:• How Franky began stealing cars at 16 • Universal keys and methods used to take vehicles • Tow-truck drivers, hotel insiders and chop shops • Stealing rental cars and luxury vehicles • Staged car accidents and insurance fraud • Getting identified by cooperating accomplices • Why Franky accepted a prison plea • Violent correctional officers in Florida prisons • Racial alliances and protection behind bars • Sharing space with inmates serving life sentences • The truth about prison fights and survival • Why Franky permanently walked away from crime From Sunday school to chop shops—and eventually Florida state prison—Franky’s story shows how chasing excitement can become a criminal lifestyle with consequences that last far beyond the original thrill.🛒 Dope Boy Empire Merch: https://www.dbeapparel.com🔗 CONNECT WITH 10 TOES PODCAST👉 Jason on Instagram / 8upjay 👉 Jason on TikTok / 8upjay 🔗 CONNECT WITH FRANKY👉 Franky on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frankyfaze/👉 Franky on Tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@frankyfazeJoin 10 Toes After Dark Patreon exclusive content 👉 / 10toespodcast#CarTheft #PrisonStories #FloridaPrison #TrueCrimePodcast #10ToesPodcast

    How I Built a Million Dollar Fraud Empire in Miami

    King Menace joins the 10 Toes Podcast for a raw true crime interview about juvenile crime, credit card fraud, identity theft, drug trafficking and surviving Miami street life. At only 14 years old, he was charged as an adult after a neighborhood retaliation ended with two people dead—but that case was only the beginning of his story.Menace explains how the theft of his mother’s Rolex triggered a violent conflict that spread throughout his neighborhood. After repeatedly searching for the person he believed was responsible, a chance encounter escalated into gunfire. Within days, homicide detectives arrived at his home, and Menace found himself facing adult charges and an initial offer of 15 years behind bars.His 21-year-old girlfriend accepted responsibility for the shooting and received 10 years, while another co-defendant received 18 years. Menace eventually accepted a deal involving boot camp, probation and community control. When he returned home, he had no car, no money and no interest in starting over at the bottom.That decision led him into credit card fraud and identity theft.Menace began by impersonating representatives from major record companies and convincing aspiring artists to send thousands of dollars for fake features. He later moved into stolen identities, fraudulent credit lines and larger credit-card schemes that generated six figures and attracted federal attention.After tracking his IP address and monitoring his daily routine, federal agents raided his home at five in the morning. They seized money, electronics, shoes and other property while explaining exactly where he ate, where he traveled and what he did each day. Although the raid temporarily pushed him away from fraud, losing everything eventually motivated him to rebuild an even larger operation.Menace describes assembling a disciplined fraud team, targeting major retailers, traveling to cities such as Las Vegas and using casinos and ATMs to convert fraudulent credit into cash. At their peak, members of the group were holding hundreds of thousands of dollars individually and approximately $1 million collectively.When jealousy and money divided the team, Menace left credit-card fraud and entered Miami’s drug trade. He explains how he progressed from being a middleman to operating five trap houses, building relationships across different Miami neighborhoods and creating a system that allowed other dealers to operate from properties he financed.The conversation explores:• Being charged as an adult at 14 years old• The retaliation that left two people dead• Rejecting plea offers of 15 and 10 years• His older girlfriend accepting responsibility for the case• Impersonating record-company representatives• Credit card fraud and stolen identities• Making six figures through fraud schemes• Being watched and raided by federal agents• Building a million-dollar fraud operation• Using Las Vegas casinos and ATMs to access money• Why fraud crews eventually turn against each other• Transitioning from identity theft to drug trafficking• Operating five trap houses across Miami• Moving cocaine, marijuana, pills and other drugs• Getting robbed and realizing another retaliation could destroy his life• Leaving the streets before receiving a lengthy prison sentence• Turning his experience into licensed dispensary and smoke-shop businessesMenace also explains why fast money becomes addictive, how power and recognition can matter more than the money itself, and why most people remain in the streets until prison or death makes the decision for them.🛒 Dope Boy Empire Merch: https://www.dbeapparel.com🔗 CONNECT WITH 10 TOES PODCAST👉 Jason on Instagram / 8upjay 👉 Jason on TikTok / 8upjay 🔗 CONNECT WITH NICK MARTINEZ👉 Menace on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kingmenace___/👉 Menace on Tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@kingmenace__Join 10 Toes After Dark Patreon exclusive content 👉 / 10toespodcast

    How A Reverse Sting Turned Fake Cocaine Into 16 Years In Prison

    How can an ATF reverse sting involving fake cocaine send someone to federal prison for 16 years?Nick Martinez, also known as Nick Montana 305, joins the 10 Toes Podcast to reveal how a reverse stash-house sting in Miami led to a federal drug conspiracy conviction—even though the cocaine and stash house never existed.According to Nick, an undercover ATF agent posed as a successful Miami drug trafficker and used a prison connection to recruit men for a robbery. The agent claimed that a stash house contained between 20 and 30 kilos of cocaine and offered to provide the location, timing and inside information needed to steal it.Nick met the undercover agent once. When he later arrived at a shopping center to follow the agent to the supposed stash house, federal agents surrounded the group. The planned robbery never happened and no cocaine was recovered, but two firearms found inside the vehicle became part of the federal case.Nick explains how federal conspiracy laws allowed prosecutors to pursue the case without an actual stash house, drugs or completed robbery. After accepting what he understood to be a 15-year plea agreement, sentencing enhancements increased his punishment to 295 months—nearly 25 years in federal prison.An appeal eventually removed 100 months from Nick’s sentence, reducing it to 195 months. He still served approximately 16 years while his five-year-old daughter grew into a young woman.Nick also takes Jason inside the reality of federal prison, including:• How ATF reverse-sting operations target suspected stash-house robbers• Getting charged over cocaine that never existed• Federal conspiracy and firearm charges• Receiving nearly 25 years after accepting a 15-year plea• Fighting sentencing enhancements on appeal• Entering USP Coleman as a first-time federal prisoner• Paperwork checks, prison cars and racial politics• Lockdowns, fights, riots and compound violence• Informants and inmates being forced to check in• Transfers from USP Coleman to Coleman Medium and Talladega• The mental toll of serving a lengthy federal sentence• Losing relationships and missing his daughter’s childhood• Rebuilding his life after 15 years behind barsThis is Nick Martinez’s firsthand account of the reverse sting that changed his life, the federal prison system he had to survive and the freedom he refuses to take for granted today.🛒 Dope Boy Empire Merch: https://www.dbeapparel.com🔗 CONNECT WITH 10 TOES PODCAST👉 Jason on Instagram / 8upjay 👉 Jason on TikTok / 8upjay 🔗 CONNECT WITH NICK MARTINEZ👉 Nick on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/NickMontana305👉 Nick on Tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@NickMontana305Join 10 Toes After Dark Patreon exclusive content 👉 / 10toespodcast#ReverseSting #FederalPrison #PrisonStories #ATF #10ToesPodcast

    I Started A Race War Over The Prison TV | Freddy D

    Why can a fight over the TV start a race war in prison? Freddy D shares raw prison stories about racial tension, inmate respect, prison fights, and the unwritten rules that control life behind bars. During his first extended stay in county jail at only 18 years old, Freddy witnessed how quickly prison politics could turn an ordinary disagreement into violence. When one group refused to change the television from CMT to BET during another group’s scheduled time, inmates divided along racial lines and prepared for a full-pod fight.Freddy was ordered to change the channel while his friend on the opposing side was pressured to change it back. The confrontation ended with Freddy fighting an inmate twice his size, the housing unit erupting into chaos, and correctional officers filling the pod with pepper spray. In another disturbing jail story, a disagreement over Telemundo led inmates to create homemade weapons and prepare for another racial conflict. With both groups ready for violence, the dispute was ultimately settled through a brutal one-on-one fight in the shower. Jason also shares his experiences with prison life, including getting into three fights in one week over the television shortly before his release. He explains why prison fights are rarely about the original disagreement—and how respect, race, loyalty, and survival can force inmates into conflicts they never wanted. This prison interview covers: • Prison stories from county jail and federal prison • The unwritten rules of prison politics • Why television disputes cause prison fights • Racial tension and inmate alliances behind bars • Being forced to fight alongside your group• Homemade prison weapons and threats of violence • One-on-one fights used to settle inmate disputes • Why walking away can create more problems in prison • How one reckless inmate can endanger an entire housing unit • The reality of respect, loyalty, and survival in prison These firsthand prison stories reveal the reality of prison life: one channel change, one disrespectful comment, or one person refusing to follow the established rules can place an entire unit on the edge of violence. 🛒 Dope Boy Empire Merch: https://www.dbeapparel.com 🔗 CONNECT WITH 10 TOES PODCAST 👉 Jason on Instagram / 8upjay 👉 Jason on TikTok / 8upjay 🔗 CONNECT WITH FREDDY 👉 Freddy On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/FreddyDee863 👉 Freddy on Tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@FreddyDee863 #PrisonStories #PrisonLife #PrisonPolitics #PrisonInterview #10ToesPodcast

    I Was A Latin King And A Blood: My Life Of Gangs And Prison

    Rob—known as King Kiko in New Jersey and Cuban Rob in Florida—joins Jason for a brutally honest conversation about gang life, drug dealing, addiction, violence, betrayal, and the prison economy. After losing his father to suicide at 14 and being forced out of his home as a teenager, Rob went looking for the family and protection he was missing. That search led him into the Latin Kings, where his first major mission ended with several members abandoning him during a fight and leaving his child’s mother to bail him out of jail. After moving to Florida, Rob became involved with the Bloods, built a cocaine and crack operation, and began establishing his reputation in Palm Coast. He recounts deliberately fronting two pounds of marijuana to a man he expected would refuse to pay—giving Rob the confrontation he wanted—and what happened when he confronted and shot him. Rob also breaks down the investigation that eventually developed into a Florida RICO case after a home invasion ended in death, a member of the group began cooperating, and the U.S. Marshals captured him in New Jersey. Inside Florida State Prison, Rob says he turned the same instincts he used in the streets toward controlling the prison economy. He describes running cigarettes, gambling, loan sharking and contraband, recruiting correctional officers into his operation, and being transferred from compound to compound because prison officials believed he could organize and take control of a yard within a year. The conversation also explores: • Losing his father to suicide and entering the streets at a young age • The Latin Kings’ recruitment and initiation process • Why gang loyalty disappeared when Rob needed it most • New York and New Jersey’s cocaine and crack trade • Becoming a Blood after moving to Palm Coast, Florida • The shooting Rob says established his street reputation • The home invasion and death that helped create a RICO case • Cooperating witnesses, police pressure and self-preservation • Cocaine, opioids, addiction and Rob’s decision to leave the life • Cell phones, cigarettes, gambling and loan sharking in prison • Correctional officers allegedly bringing contraband into Florida prisons • Why Rob says money—not violence—gave him control of the compound • The reality behind exaggerated prison stories on social media • Whether loyalty or honor can truly exist in the criminal world This is not a polished kingpin story. It is a firsthand account of the smaller, dirtier side of the streets—where loyalty is temporary, violence becomes currency, addiction catches the dealer, and nearly every decision eventually carries a price. 🛒 Dope Boy Empire Merch: https://www.dbeapparel.com 🔗 CONNECT WITH 10 TOES PODCAST 👉 Jason on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/8upjay 👉 Jason on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@8upjay 🔗 CONNECT WITH ROB 👉 Rob On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/rbravo0713/ 👉 Rob on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/roberto.bravo.212826 👉 Rob on Tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@user27213740001478 Join 10 Toes After Dark Patreon exclusive content 👉 www.patreon.com/cw/10toespodcast #FloridaPrison #GangLife #10ToesPodcast
