I Was a Trinitario Gang Leader — This Is How I Survived Prison
Elvis Deschamps came from the Dominican Republic to Queens with nothing — and found his way into one of New York's most feared street gangs. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Elvis opens up about climbing the ranks of the Trinitarios gang from teenage recruit to leader taking over Long Island building alliances between Latino gangs inside prison and surviving maximum security with a target on his back. He shares the violence the betrayals and the close calls that defined his criminal life — and then opens up about the moment in prison that changed everything. From battling dark voices to a life changing spiritual encounter Elvis shares the complete story of how one of New York's most feared gang leaders walked away from everything and found faith. #GangLeader #StreetLife #PrisonSurvival #TrueCrime #CrimeAndConsequences #LawAndJustice #GangWars #exconvict Connect with Elvis Deschamps: YouTube: / @elvisdeschamps Instagram: @holy_ewop Tiktok: @pure_sounds_ewop Thank you to DRAFT KINGS for sponsoring today’s episode: New players can get FIVE HUNDRED CASINO SPINS ON A FEATURED GAME!
