Summary

On Episode 59, Jeff is joined by an individual named Robert Ross. Robert spent just south of 24 years in some of the toughest federal prisons in the country including Leavenworth and Lewisburg for a nonviolent drug offense. He received LIFE in 1997. During his time, he rubbed elbows and was very close with many mobsters and infamous people including Carmine Persico, Little Jimmy Ida, Matty the Horse, John Stanfa and more. We discussed his crimes, his run-ins and time inside and ultimately how he was freed. I want to thank him very much...
