EPISODE 5: The Waiting Game

A true, first-person account of what happens after the arrest — when a life becomes a file.

Season One follows a year inside ICE detention, moving through county jails, transfer buses, courtrooms, and holding cells across Florida and beyond. Told by the person who lived it, this season captures the mental weight of waiting, the men inside, and the slow loss of identity inside the immigration system.

This is not politics.
Not legal theory.
It’s survival in the in-between.
