Chris "Psycho" Mendoza - The Devine Salerno Podcast No. 12

In this raw and powerful episode of The Devine Salerno Podcast No. 12, host Devine Salerno sits down with Chris "Psycho" Mendoza — a man who's lived the streets, survived Arizona prison yards, battled addiction, and is now fighting for a new life in Colorado. Chris holds nothing back as he shares his unfiltered journey: growing up with abuse, Tourette's, and ADHD, turning to boxing and violence as a kid, high-speed chases, multiple prison bids, running with the "Skina" table on the Murder Yard, prison politics, hustling, and the brutal realities of gang life behind bars. He also opens up about recent relapses, losing friends, his wife, sober living goals, music background, and what real change looks like moving forward. This is a gritty, honest conversation about trauma, street code, prison culture (Arizona vs. Colorado), rock bottom, and the daily grind of redemption. If you're in recovery, have done time, or just need a real story of resilience, this episode hits hard.
