Welcome back to Living on the El-Ledge, the show within the Sober Vibes Podcast, where my sister Kimberly Elledge and I get real about addiction, recovery, and the messy middle in between.
In episode 6, Kimberly shares her experience of being locked up in the county jail system after drinking and driving. We talk about what really happens behind bars, the harsh realities of the jail system, and how it often fails to help people struggling with addiction.
We also get into jail slang (yes, it’s a thing!), how the system profits from incarceration, and why recovery support is so limited once you’re inside. This conversation is raw, honest, and full of lessons learned the hard way.
If you’ve ever felt like the system was built to keep people stuck instead of helping them heal, this one will hit home.
