From Shoplifting to Self-Discovery | What I Learned in Federal Prison
Mark sits down with Louis Hamilton on this eye-opening episode of All My Friends Are Felons. Louis grew up west of Salt Lake City, Utah with a single mom and though he experienced some tough times as a kid, he grew to love sports and became close friends with his teammates. After some bad decisions, Louis found himself facing 5 years in Federal Prison where he learned that he needed to make some life-altering changes. Now on the other side, Louis is living the life of his dreams. He’s glad he can share his story with our listeners because if he can help just one person change the trajectory of their life, then he's doing his job right.
“At first I wanted to take his head off because I was just like ‘We don’t do this to each other, we don’t snitch, and this and that. We knew what we were getting into, we’ve been doing this our whole lives. What’s wrong with you!?’ I had that at first, but as I’ve grown and matured, and realized how much I’ve learned and grown from going to prison, he kinda helped me out.” 37:44
