Summary

Jayson “Rame” Albertorio grew up in the tough neighborhoods of New York City, where he joined the Crips at a young age. His teenage years were spent bouncing between juvenile detention, Rikers Island, and New York state prison. After his release, Rame tried to turn his life around—but when he fled probation and moved to Los Angeles, things took another dark turn. He was shot in the face and locked up again, this time in LA County Jail. #RikersIsland #LACountyJail #Crip #PrisonStories #Survival #GangLife #TrueCrimePodcast #prisontalk Connect with Jayson: Jayson's movie trailer: https://youtu.be/JwIPDF2BkPY?si=0HjLhazoXNgYUMCv Jayson's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/litrame?igsh=MnVndmQ5N25iaDY1 Lake george the movie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lakegeorgethemovie?igsh=YXZ1cnUzbXJhZXhk Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 – Rame’s Story: From Survival to Redemption 03:35 – Growing Up in NYC’s Lower East Side 07:07 – Fighting to Prove Himself as a Teen 12:01 – First Arrest & Time in Juvenile Detention 17:17 – Joining the Crips & Hustling the Streets 22:44 – Becoming a Father While Deep in Crime 27:44 – Robberies, Hustle & Rikers Island Nights 31:20 – Violence, Gangs & Survival Inside Jail 35:35 – Life After Prison: City Bikes & Art Hustle 41:02 – Parole Problems & Fleeing to California 45:05 – Shot in the Face: Surviving LA Streets 51:19 – Locked Up Again in LA County Jail 55:03 – Returning to New York & Starting Over 59:09 – Fatherhood, Redemption & Lessons Learned 01:02:07 – Final Thoughts: Turning Pain Into Purpose Learn more about your ad choices.
