Caught In Her Boyfriend's Drug Ring | Federal Indictment

In this powerful and emotional episode of 10 Toes Podcast, Jason sits down one-on-one with Craig “Chico” Dean, a former Miami street hustler whose life took a tragic and irreversible turn during the height of the 1990s crack cocaine era.Craig was introduced to crime at an alarmingly young age—while still in elementary school—and by just 17 years old, he was already running his own trap house operation in Miami, generating serious money during one of the most violent periods in the city’s history. What started as fast money and street reputation quickly spiraled into irreversible consequences.A street beef escalated out of control, leading Craig to shoot at a rival’s home—an act that tragically resulted in an innocent young girl being shot and permanently paralyzed from the waist down. The case shocked the community and ultimately led to Craig receiving a sentence of natural life in prison.Inside Florida State Prison, Craig explains how survival meant becoming something he never imagined—an animal in a system built on violence. He describes the brutal reality of long-term incarceration: constant stabbings, savage fights, prison politics, and the daily struggle to stay alive in one of the most unforgiving prison systems in America.But this story takes an extraordinary and almost unheard-of turn.Years later, the paralyzed victim—now an adult—publicly forgave Craig and took the unimaginable step of advocating for his release. Her compassion and belief in redemption ultimately played a role in Craig walking free after decades behind bars.This episode dives deep into:Miami’s crack cocaine era and street cultureJuvenile crime and early indoctrination into violenceLife sentences and survival inside Florida state prisonsThe psychology of prison violenceForgiveness, accountability, and redemptionWhat freedom looks like after decades locked awayThis is not a story about glorifying crime—it’s a raw examination of consequences, remorse, and the power of forgiveness in the face of irreversible harm.🎙️ 10 Toes Podcast continues to document the real stories behind America’s prison system—told by the people who lived them.🔗 CONNECT WITH 10 TOES PODCAST👉 https://10toespodcast.com/👉 Jason on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/8upjay/👉 Craig Dean On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/chicoboss81/

This week on 10 Toes Podcast, Kyle and Jason sit down with OG Gigaveli, a Miami street veteran who came up during a very different era of the game. Born and raised in the gutter of Miami, OG delivers a raw, unfiltered breakdown of how street culture, loyalty, and survival have completely changed over the decades.OG explains that when he was coming up, the neighborhood superstars — the big-time drug dealers of the 70s, 80s, and 90s — gave back to their communities. They made sure kids had food, clothes, and money, while also warning them not to follow the same path. Back then, street figures stood on their word, stayed ten toes down, and accepted consequences without selling out the people around them.While OG was serving time in federal prison, he watched the game collapse. A new mentality replaced loyalty: “Why do 10 when I can tell on a friend?” According to OG, cooperation became normalized, snitching became strategic, and long runs disappeared. Where major players once stayed on top for six, seven, even ten years, today most people are lucky to last two years before catching a federal case.The conversation also dives deep into the modern dangers of the street economy — especially fentanyl. OG explains how drugs being unknowingly spiked has made street dealing more dangerous than ever, leading to harsher federal sentences, conspiracy charges, and lives destroyed over substances sellers didn’t even know they were distributing.This episode isn’t about glorifying the streets — it’s about contrast, consequences, and reality. OG Gigaveli makes it clear: the game is dead, loyalty is gone, and the risk is no longer worth the reward.🔑 KEY TOPICS & TAKEAWAYSOld-school Miami street culture vs todayLoyalty, code, and “staying 10 toes down”How snitching became normalizedLong criminal runs in the 70s, 80s, and 90sWhy modern street life leads to faster federal indictmentsFentanyl, unknowingly spiked drugs, and extreme sentencingWhy the streets aren’t worth it anymore🎙️ ABOUT THE PODCAST10 Toes Podcast delivers raw, unfiltered conversations with people who lived the life — not outsiders speculating from the sidelines.
