  • Chris Curtis grew up in Orange County, California in area rife with addiction and crime. As a child he was not protected from this reality and in fact was encouraged to be a part of it. Struggling with addiction and turning to a life of crime, Chris ended up getting sentenced to life in prison as a result of California's Three Strikes law. There he found himself in some of the most dangerous institutions in the state. He's on the show to talk about how he ended up getting out of prison with a life sentence, cleaning up and overcoming his addiction, and becoming a mentor of hope for kids just like he was.

      Its messed up and deranged but it is prison the kid did kill his own friends in a car crash and on top of that the KID knew what time it was , he was laced up a little bit and still chose to get that coffee from the other car even though he did county time then prison then was told already not to take anything from anyone outside of his car and he choose to do what he did on the outside and paid the worst price he could. I dont condone it but i MEAN ITS PRISON not disneyland.

I think the fear of the unknown was the worst part. It wasn't as bad as my mind made it out to be. I just had to get some momentum, see some progress, and remind myself that this was a very important battle that I desperately wanted to win and be done with. Best wishes.

      Depends on the situation. If they're sniffing glue or something because they can get weed, I'd probably rather help them not ruin their lives. People give alcohol to kids and that's a drug and dangerous. Sugar and other foods can also kill people and giving children that can ruin their lives.

    Chris though he had everything. And Johnny reminded him that he did not have books. Which is fair. But as we go deeper we see Chris and his hyperactivity made for a good motorcycle mechanic and electrician. And as he interview went on Chris relaxes and communicates more clearly. Great content, but also good because we see two different kind of guys. Johnny's dad was a lawyer and he attended college. Where as Chris is from the blue collar, OC, drug culture. It is "Town vs Gown" on exhibition as well as all the tales from the burned out Anaheim motel room.
