I Was a New York Bloods Leader — Then Did 12 Years in Prison | James Pitt

James Pitt grew up in Rockland County New York without his mother in the picture — raised by his single father alongside two siblings while watching his dad's health deteriorate throughout his childhood. The streets filled the void. He first joined the Crips before switching to the Bloods and eventually rising to become a Blood gang leader in New York. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, James tells the complete story — from growing up in Rockland County to juvenile detention at 15 to an attempted murder charge against a rival gang leader that resulted in two years county time to surviving two separate assassination attempts during his set's civil war to to a 2012 gun possession arrest where one of his own turned on him to a 10 year sentence to being pulled back on kidnapping and robbery charges five years in after a DNA match to facing persistent violent felony charges of 18 to life to being sentenced to 14 years concurrent and finally walking out on May 20 2024 after 12 years inside.
