Imagine being addicted to heroin and needing $2,000 for rehab. A guy comes to you and says he works for a Columbian Drug Cartel as a courier. His bosses stole money from him. If you help him get it back by robbing their stash house...you will never need to work again. It was all a setup and the Columbian Courier was an undercover federal agent with a fake stash house. This episode features an interview with Josh Boyer, who shares his experience of being involved in a stash house sting operation and receiving a 24-year prison sentence. Josh discusses his descent into addiction, the day of the sting operation, and his time in prison. He also talks about his work in the law library, helping other inmates with their cases, and his hope for clemency through President Obama's initiative. The conversation highlights the flaws in the criminal justice system and the importance of legal representation. Joshua Boyer shares his journey from discovering stash house cases to working in criminal justice reform advocacy. He discusses connecting with Katie Tinto, finding legal support, and the Obama Clemency Initiative.
