He recounts chilling tales of inmates being stabbed, the intricate gang handshakes, and the corrupt system that often turned a blind eye. Ryan also touches on the unique prison culture, from the Aryan brothers trying to recruit him to the secret documentaries being filmed to expose the prison's corruption. Despite the darkness, Ryan's story is one of resilience and hope. He speaks of the moments that pushed him towards recovery and the realization that if he could survive the harshest conditions in prison, he could reclaim his life outside.
