I Was a Judge — Then I Had To Survive Federal Prison
Ryan Kamada had one of the most respected careers in Colorado law — a journey from engineering to law school to representing parents in court to becoming a magistrate judge. Then one decision while sitting on the bench destroyed everything. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Judge Kamada tells the complete story — the crime he committed while serving as a judge the FBI investigation the proffer sessions and what it felt like to go from the person handing down sentences to the person receiving one. He opens up about what federal prison actually looked like from the inside — the unexpected realities the commissary food the life lessons — and what rebuilding his life looks like after losing everything he spent decades working for. #RyanKamada #ExJudge #FederalPrison #TrueCrimeStory #FallFromGrace #JudicialCorruption #PrisonRedemption #lockedinpodcast Thank you to RIDGE for sponsoring today's episode: Upgrade your wallet today!
