We trace a Sacramento kid’s path from petty theft to a 50-to-life sentence at fourteen, through High Desert’s politics and violence, to an education-driven transformation that ended in resentencing and freedom. The conversation pulls apart real rehabilitation, broken incentives, legal reforms, and how structure and accountability turn chaos into purpose.
