Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be hunted? In this raw and eye-opening episode, Justin Yentes sits down with former Mexican Mafia member Angel Garcia to unpack how it feels to live under constant surveillance, face federal indictment, and go through the justice system. Angel doesn’t hold back, because he’s lived every part of it: the drug deals, the betrayal, the wiretaps, the courtroom pressure, and the soul-searching that comes after arrest.

In this episode we uncover:

1. The dramatic way feds arrest criminals
2. How agents use wiretaps, informants, and surveillance to build cases
3. Why inmates often study the law (hint: it's not to follow it)

This is more than a true crime story. It’s about systems—legal, social, personal—and how survival sometimes means knowing how to play the game. If you’ve ever wondered what happens between the headlines or what it takes to navigate the justice system from the inside, this conversation is for you.
