DJ Whitmore spent 30 years inside the walls of federal prisons — not as an inmate, but as an associate warden. From serving in the Gulf War to working his way up through the ranks of the Bureau of Prisons, DJ has seen every side of the justice system. In this powerful interview, he shares what really goes on behind bars, from low-security camps to high-security penitentiaries. If you’ve ever wondered what prison is like from the other side — this episode pulls back the curtain.
