Kevin Guilford was deep in it addicted addicted to meth, cooking it, and living a life that was spiraling out of control.

He went from the streets to California State Prison, then caught a Fed case, and ended up in the same federal prison I was locked up in.

But this isn't just another drug story. It's about pain, survival,

Yep, we're an alumni.

I love that, because it does look like a college campus.

Yeah, exactly.

And my folks, when they were a young family, they had already had my brother, but they moved out to California because that's where all the work was back in the 1960s, you know.
