FF 268 - She Fought the Bureau of Prisons and Won with Lynn Espejo
On today’s episode we welcome Lynn Espejo back to the show. Lynn previously appeared on episode 110 and then episode 237 of this show. Lynn maintains her innocence in her case, in which she served 27 month before being released to home confinement last summer. During her incarceration, Lynn blogged about the abuse and corruption she saw while incarcerated at the Federal Prison Camp Bryan located in Bryan, Texas. Then when she was released she continued to speak out against it. On this show and on her radio show. This got back to the Bureau of Prison and they tried to put her back in prison, rather than allow her to finish her sentence on home confinement!

FF 266 - A Vegas No-Knock Raid Sent Kristy Laschober to Prison
On today’s episode Kristy Laschober joins the show. Kristy went from having a thriving business as a wardrobe stylist in Southern California to meth addiction and eventually to prison. She was born with a medical condition and this led to her becoming addicted to opioids as a child. After nearly 10 years of sobriety and ending a marriage to a police officer, Kristy relapsed. This change in trajectory led Kristy to trying methamphetamine and eventually selling to a Connecticut priest who the media dubbed “Monsignor Meth”. As a first time offender, she was sentenced to 60 months in federal prison. Kristy did her time in five different facilities including her last two years at the maximum security FMC Carswell in Texas. She was released in 2017 and hit the ground running. She graduated with honors from Southern Oregon University and has become a fierce advocate for prison reform, leading the fight to remove the criminal history box on all college applications in her state and advocating to provide opportunities for formerly incarcerated individuals to attend college. Kristy is a speaker, a Community Resource Director for a non-profit and co-host of an emerging podcast called Survivors of Addiction. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
