Raw Crime: A prison audio series
This isn’t fiction. These are real voices from prison, unfiltered accounts from people whose choices changed lives, including their own. Not polished, not dramatized, just the raw truths of those living the consequences.
They speak of guilt, regret, and reckoning. But also of growth, change, and moments of light that emerge even in the darkest places.
No spin. No softening. Just real conversations, lifting voices that are too often left unheard.

In this interview, we spoke on the phone with Coby, who had never known a life beyond gang involvement and drugs before now. Coby gave us an overview of his life, starting with the negative influences in his childhood and ending with the peace he has found in prison. In between, you’ll be introduced to the old Coby, who spent over 24 years in solitary confinement, charged with killing his longtime friend and fellow gang member. But following that is his story of rehabilitation and remorse, where you can meet who Coby is today.
