    I Was a Male Escort — Then A Murder Charge Sent Me To Prison | Lou Charlestin

    Lou Charlestin grew up in the streets young and never really had a way out. In high school, he got charged with an armed robbery, was tried as an adult, and spent 2 years in prison before he was even fully grown. When he got out, he slid into life as a male escort while still hustling in the streets, chasing fast money and living a double life. One night everything crossed the line........a violent situation that left someone dead and Lou facing a murder charge. The case later got dropped down to assault and manslaughter, but he still ended up with a 7-year sentence in Connecticut state prison. _____________________________________________ #IanBick #LockedIn #MaleEscort #TrueCrime #MurderCharge #PrisonStory #CrimeConfession #realcrimestories _____________________________________________ Connect with Lou Charlestin: Personal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lou.novaa?igsh=azVxb2V5cmhjdWU4 Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alcrossedpod?igsh=MXVhNThwMzZzNDYzdg== YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/@AllLinesCrossed _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 From Teen Hustler To Walking Red Flag 00:42 Growing Up Haitian: Strict Home, Wild Streets 03:05 Beatings, Rules And A Haitian Household 05:00 No Father Around, Forced To Be The Man 07:00 From Getting Bullied To Becoming The Aggressor 08:10 Smart In Class, Violent In The Hallways 09:46 My First Arrest And First Time Behind Bars 12:44 How Prison Taught Me Survival And Hustle 14:00 Choosing The Streets Over A Normal Life 16:00 My First Gun And Getting Paid To Carry It 19:00 Prison Changed Me In Ways I Didnt Expect 21:22 Prison Tricks, Traps And Getting Played Inside 27:40 Getting Out And Trying To Go Straight 29:39 How I Became A Male Escort And Entered The Underworld 33:20 When Escorting Turned Dark And Dangerous 36:10 Living A Double Life: Streets By Day, Escort By Night 45:23 The Night Of The Shooting That Changed Everything 47:37 Years Later They Hit Me With A Murder Charge 54:44 Facing A Murder Trial, Thinking Id Never See Outside 58:12 Jailhouse Fights, Politics And Staying Alive 01:00:34 Alone In A Cell, Forced To Face Myself 01:04:09 New Prisons, New Politics, Same Old Danger 01:15:31 Walking Out Again And My Second Chance 01:18:36 Life With A Record: Doors Slammed In My Face 01:21:21 What I Learned From Prison And The Streets 01:25:58 Why Im Telling This Story Now Learn more about your ad choices.

    I Did 4 Years in Prison - Then Became a Cop | Ameer Williams

    Ameer Williams greets you with a smile and a badge but behind that badge are 13 felonies and 4 years in prison. He went from hustling and selling drugs on the streets to becoming a police sergeant in Connecticut, and in this episode he pulls back the curtain on how the system let him through, what prison really did to him, and what it feels like to wear a uniform in the same world that once locked him up. This is an honest conversation about second chances, broken justice, and the thin line between criminal and cop...... and if you think you know what a police officer looks like, you haven’t heard this story. _____________________________________________ #IanBick #LockedIn #TrueCrime #Prison #PrisonStories #PoliceOfficer #FelonToCop #redemptionstory _____________________________________________ Thanks to 300 LETTERS for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://300letters.org/ to learn more or get support.

    I Thought I’d Die Inside ADX, America’s Supermax Prison | Eric King

    Eric King was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison after trying to firebomb a government building with Molotov cocktails, but the real story is what happened once the cell door slammed shut. In this episode, he breaks down how a politically motivated arson case turned into nearly 8 years in solitary confinement, brutal clashes with staff, and a fast-track transfer into America’s most notorious federal supermax, ADX. From the mindset it takes to target the government, to the moment he realized he might never see general population again, Eric gives an unfiltered look at control units, isolation, and life in a place built to break you. If you’ve ever wondered what actually happens to “the worst of the worst” once they disappear into the federal system, this conversation is your inside look at the cost of that choice. _____________________________________________ #ianbick #prisonlife #truecrime#prisonstories #inmatelife #jailstories #justicesystem #worstprisons _____________________________________________ Buy Eric King's Book: https://pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1872 _____________________________________________ Thank you to AVA for sponsoring this episode: Take control of your credit today.

    I SOLD Drugs In NYC Nightclubs Then Went To Prison | Jason Abreu

    Jason Abreu grew up in a good family, on track to become a lawyer, until the recession blew up his plans and pushed him into the New York City nightlife scene. What started as legit nightclub promoting slowly turned into moving drugs through NYC clubs, big money, fast nights, and a double life he thought he had under control. Then undercover cops took him down, and Jason was sent to New York state prison. He got out, went right back to the game, and got caught again, earning a second trip upstate. In this episode, Jason sits down with me and breaks down exactly how it happened: the first bad decision, how the nightclub world really works, the rush of easy money, the takedown, and what New York state prison is actually like on the inside, from daily politics to survival _____________________________________________ #NYC #NewYorkStatePrison #PrisonLife #UndercoverCops #DrugDealing #NightclubCrime #TrueCrime #prisonstories _____________________________________________ Thank you to 300 LETTERS for sponsoring this episode: Visit http://300letters.org/ to learn more or get support.
