1 hr 38 min

Jose Lugo grew up in one of Los Angeles’ toughest neighborhoods, where violence, broken family, and survival shaped his early life. After joining the Crips in high school, Jose got caught up in a string of robberies and was sentenced to 5 years in prison. From the brutal reality of L.A. County Jail to life inside a California state prison as a gang member, Jose reveals what it was really like behind bars — and what it took to walk away from the streets. In this raw and emotional interview, he shares the painful process of self-forgiveness, leaving the gang life behind, and how he’s fighting for redemption every single day.
