How I Went From Prison to Parole Officer | Ep 105

How I Went From Prison to Parole Officer | Ep 105

In this gripping episode, Aaron and Louis sit down with Mike Justice — a man whose life spiraled into chaos before he was even old enough to drive legally, and whose journey from destruction to transformation is nothing short of unbelievable.Mike opens up about getting his first DUI at just sixteen years old, the charges stacking up, and the early signs of a life already slipping out of control. He talks candidly about the passive suicidal thoughts that haunted him as a kid, thoughts that eventually escalated into a shocking moment where he attempted suicide by cop — an event that could have ended everything.What came next only added layers to the chaos. As a teenager, Mike found himself sitting in county jail, and when his mom tried to “rescue” him, she did it in the only dysfunctional way she knew — by driving drunk straight to the jail to break him out. His story keeps building as he recounts walking away from a drunk driving wreck without a scratch, a moment that should have woken him up but only fueled the belief that he was untouchable.Eventually, that mindset landed him in prison, where he received shelf time and had to adapt fast to survive. Mike breaks down the mentality he had on his first day behind bars, the fear he hid, and the tough exterior he believed he needed. But it wasn’t until he met a prison counselor who saw through him — someone who connected deeply with his story — that things began to shift.Mike describes the most powerful moment of his entire life, a turning point that changed the direction of everything that came after. Even with interruptions and setbacks, including moments where filming had to be cut, Mike’s honesty never wavered as he led into his final, emotional message.This episode is raw, intense, and unforgettable. And yes — Mike tells the full story behind the moment he calls:“What Happened When I Tried to Take a Cop’s Gun Out of Its Holster.”You do not want to miss this one.
