I Cooked Meth — And Got Caught by the Feds | Kevin Gilford

Kevin Gilford’s story is one of addiction, crime, survival, and redemption. In this interview, Kevin shares how he became addicted to meth, taught himself to cook it, and fell deep into the drug world — leading to time in California state prison and eventually federal prison, the same one Ian was locked up in. We dive into the realities of prison life, the underground meth scene, and how Kevin is now owning his past and rebuilding his future. #MethCookStory #PrisonSurvival #TrueCrimeInterview #AddictionRecovery #LifeAfterPrison #FederalPrisonStory #BreakingBadReality #LockedInPodcast Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Connect with Kevin Gilford: Buy his book: https://a.co/d/dq9cmdZ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1B5kRDt8do/ Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Buy Merch: https://convictclothing.net/collections/convict-clothing-x-ian-bick Timestamps:00:00:00 An Unexpected Confrontation 00:06:10 Journey into using: From Discovery to Dependency00:12:23 Life as a Restaurant Cook and Cover Story 00:18:25 The Secrets of Cooking Techniques00:24:46 Chemistry 00:30:43 Struggles with Addiction and Family Life00:37:24 Experiences with a Troubling Cellmate00:43:11 Navigating Chemical Dependency and Parole 00:49:35 Negotiating Sentences and Legal Outcomes 00:55:42 East Coast vs. West Coast Jail Culture Clash01:01:49 Prison Contraband and Accountability 01:08:03 The Origin of the Nickname 'Danger'01:14:15 Navigating Job Applications with a Criminal Record 01:20:14 Life After Deportation and Reintegration01:26:32 Turning Life Around After Prison 01:33:00 Reflections on Prison Life and Hope for Change Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.
