In this explosive episode of the 10 Toes Podcast, Kyle and Jason sit down with former federal Correctional Officer Gio Martini, a man who spent years working inside one of the most dangerous and chaotic penitentiaries in America — USP Victorville in Victorville, California. Known throughout the system as a high-tension, high-violence yard filled with some of the most notorious inmates in the federal Bureau of Prisons, Victorville is where only the toughest staff — and the toughest inmates — survive.

Gio gives an unfiltered breakdown of what it’s really like to walk the tiers, run the units, and manage men serving decades for violent crimes, gang-related activity, cartel involvement, organized crime, and high-level federal convictions. From lockdowns and stabbings to politics, gangs, manipulation, and the mental toll on staff, Gio reveals the side of the prison system the public never sees.

This is one of the rawest, most eye-opening CO perspectives ever captured on the show.
