Show Notes

Brian Warth was caught in a bitter custody battle and traumatized by his brother's murder before the streets of California sucked him into a life of crime. After committing a murder at just 16 years old, he was sentenced to life in prison, forcing him to survive the brutality of LA County youth facilities and maximum security penitentiaries as a teenager. He reveals the raw reality of growing up behind bars and how Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger eventually signed his parole after 16 hard years.
