From Behind the Badge To Behind Bars: The Story of Jack Straw

  From the darker side of the law to the ridiculous side, Jack Straw gives us a real look at life -from life behind the badge to life behind the bars of prison, and life on the outside. As a law enforcement officer in the Midwest, Jack Straw rose the ranks rapidly becoming a captain at 26. He was a patrol officer, investigator and later specialized in interrogations and child abuse cases.  He left law enforcement and started a business, and that's where he got sideways with the feds. He stole money and ended up with a 15 year prison sentence and was shipped to La Tuna FCI on the border with Texas and Mexico.  While there, he hung out with gangbangers, cartel members, bank robbers and George Jung, the man Johnny Depp played in the movie "Blow." He was eventually transferred to other facilities that had much lower security protocols and  later became friends with a totally different crowd; politicians, incarcerated cops, NFL players and doctors. Yep, Club Fed.  During this time he wrote three books, became a successful "jailhouse lawyer" and observed a world that works unlike anyone really thinks it does. He is now a partner in Prison Break Brewery and has a new album coming out. Get a sample of all this on their YouTube channel "Fed Joints to Beer Joints".
