What happens when you've served your sentence—but technology never stops watching?

In this episode of Let's Be Blunt with Montel, Montel Williams sits down with Seth Ferranti—author, documentary filmmaker, founder of Gorilla Convict, and one of the most recognizable voices in criminal justice reform.

Seth spent 21 years in federal prison for nonviolent drug offenses during the height of America's War on Drugs. While incarcerated, he reinvented himself as a writer, eventually becoming an acclaimed journalist and filmmaker dedicated to telling the stories of people impacted by mass incarceration.

Today, Seth is once again making headlines following a Nebraska traffic stop that has sparked a national conversation about AI-powered surveillance, automated license plate readers, digital privacy, and whether emerging technologies are quietly reshaping the relationship between citizens and law enforcement.

Together, Montel and Seth discuss:

This isn't just a conversation about cannabis. It's a discussion about freedom, second chances, technology, and what happens when our justice system intersects with artificial intelligence.
