Video Description
Anthony Lopez grew up in the South Bronx, where street life was everywhere. His mom pushed him to join the U.S. Marines to escape the cycle — and he went on to serve in Iraq. But one mistake changed everything. After being caught with a gun off base, Anthony was discharged from the military and sent straight to Rikers Island, eventually serving time in New York State Prison. #USMarine #MarineToPrison #PrisonStory #VeteranLife #PrisonInterview #TrueCrimePodcast #PrisonDocumentary #lockedinpodcast Thank you to PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup!
