DEAD Talks Freed from Prison After 19 Years: A Story of Redemption (#180)
After serving 19 years behind bars, Jesse Crosson’s story is one of resilience, loss, and redemption. Sentenced to 32 years in prison at just 18, he reflects on losing his father while incarcerated, navigating childhood trauma, and finding healing through therapy, meditation, and writing. His journey explores the mental toll of prison, the power of second chances, and how resilience can turn pain into purpose.
This episode is a raw and inspiring look at overcoming adversity, embracing change, and discovering meaning in life after freedom.

DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio engages death a little bit differently. Each new guest shares their experience with grieving or perspective on death in a way that shatters the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn't end; it evolves. Having lost his father on September 11th when he was 12, he learned the importance of discussion and sharing other people's stories. DEAD Talks Podcast hopes to make it a little easier to talk about grief, loss, death, mourning, trauma, or whatever it may be. You may cry, but you also may laugh.
