Summary

Imagine giving your best friend the fentanyl that kills him. John Vibbert doesn’t have to imagine it. A single father with a lifetime of addiction and petty crime, John plead guilty to one count of distribution of heroin and fentanyl after he was charged in connection with the death of his best friend. For one year and one day, John did his time at Danbury Connecticut Correctional Facility before heading to a notorious halfway house, where he met podcast host Ian Bick. After coming back to society, John works every day to be a strong role model for his daughter. Thank you to FACTOR - America's #1 ready to eat meal kit - for sponsoring this episode.
