Episode 205: Inside ADX Supermax With Former Inmate Eric King

from The Sit Down: A Crime History Podcast · host Jeff Nadu

I have interviewed many people that have been to federal prison. Many have told me stories about doing time with some of the most dangerous people in America including gangsters, mobsters, traffickers and killers. Today though I speak to an individual named Eric King that's been in America's most secure federal prison, ADX Florence in Colorado. We talked about his journey as a convict in getting there, to his time inside and much more. He also filled me in on stories about mobsters like Vincent Basciano and Tommy Pitera as well as gangsters like El Chapo and Wayne "Silk" Perry.Jeff Nadu is an American Mafia researcher, podcaster and content creator. He has worked at Barstool Sports and was hired personally by Dave Portnoy. His podcast "The Sitdown" with Jeff Nadu has put out hundreds of biographies on various mobsters, gangsters and criminals. He's also personally interviewed mobsters like Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, Dom Cicale, Anthony Ruggiano Jr, Gene Borrello and others as well as US Prosecutor John Gleeson and FBI Agent Joaquin "Jack" Garcia.
