Summary

Luis Espinoza grew up in Waterbury, Connecticut, surrounded by crime, addiction, and chaos. With a mother in and out of jail, he dropped out of high school and started hanging around the wrong crowd. By 22, he was sentenced to 18 months in prison—but just three months in, Luis made a desperate move: he tried to escape. After being captured only hours later, he was forced to face the reality of life behind bars. In this episode, Luis opens up about his troubled childhood, his escape attempt, what prison was really like, and how he finally turned his life around after incarceration. #PrisonEscape #LifeAfterPrison #PrisonStories #PrisonEscapeStory #TrueCrimePodcast #PrisonLife #AddictionRecovery #redemptionstory Connect with Luis Espinoza on his instagram pages: @theknowledgegod @badshapeltd @saintsandsinnerstattoostudio Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 Intro & Childhood Overview 02:00 Growing Up Through Chaos 12:00 Early Influences & Life Lessons 21:00 Teen Years 29:00 First Brush With the Law & Probation 36:00 Life Spirals 47:00 Adulthood: Fatherhood & Setbacks 01:00:00 Escalating Trouble & Prison Time 01:14:00 The Infamous Prison Escape 01:27:00 Consequences: Administrative Segregation 01:38:00 New Bonds & Prison Politics 01:47:00 Transformation & Preparing for Release 01:56:00 Back To Freedom & Life After Prison 02:03:00 Family Tragedy & Turning Point 02:07:00 Redemption, Routine & Reflection 02:10:00 Advice for the Next Generation & Closing Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.
