13 Years in New York’s Most Dangerous Prisons

Описание: Melo grew up in poverty on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, raised in a single-parent household and surrounded by the harsh realities of the streets. By 16, his life took a dangerous turn — leading to 13 years behind bars in some of New York’s most notorious maximum-security prisons. In this conversation, Melo shares what it’s really like inside the system: the violence, the survival tactics, the mental toll, and the lessons he learned the hard way. Now free and determined to turn his life around, he’s using his story to inspire change.
