Caught In Her Boyfriend's Drug Ring | Federal Indictment

In this powerful episode of 10 Toes Podcast, Kyle and Jason sit down with Amanda Lynn Tarver, a former federal inmate who served two years at Coleman Federal Prison Camp when it operated as a women’s facility. Convicted of possession with intent to distribute MDMA, Amanda shares a raw, emotional account of how a relationship, a series of seemingly small decisions, and a federal investigation changed her life forever — including giving birth while incarcerated.

Amanda walks listeners through meeting her now-husband and how she became loosely involved in his MDMA activity, believing at the time it was “not a big deal.” That assumption quickly unraveled when the FBI arrested her after returning from a Bahamas trip, using evidence recovered from her confiscated phone to build their case. Unaware she was pregnant at the time, Amanda self-surrendered to federal prison and ultimately gave birth while in custody, experiencing firsthand the rarely discussed realities of pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood inside the federal prison system.
