I Was SHANKED For NO REASON… Then I Built a Prison Empire.

On today’s episode, Sarah speaks with Marcus 'Sully' Sullivan, an inmate calling from Marion Correctional with less than a year left on his sentence. He shares a harrowing story about the moment he realized prison wasn't about serving time, but surviving it—a brutal, random attack over a simple game of cards that changed his entire outlook on life and the unspoken rules of the institution. From that moment of pure chaos, Sully began to build. He explains how he graduated from a low-level victim to a savvy entrepreneur, creating his own economy based on contraband and favors, and gaining a sense of control in a world designed to strip it away. But as he details his plans for a quiet life after release, a critical detail from his past slips, forcing a confrontation that questions the very nature of the story he's been telling himself, and us.
