What Prison Taught Me About Love, Resilience, and Redemption

Interviewee: Mike Gonzalez Interview Date: November 2, 2023 Prison: Corcoran State Prison Inside the walls of Corcoran State Prison, Big Mike Gonzalez shares a heartfelt message about resilience, love, and the power of motivation. After being incarcerated for 13 years, Mike reflects on his journey, the changes within the prison system, and his desire to return to society as a better man. With wisdom born from struggle, Mike emphasizes the importance of loving one another and choosing positivity, even in the face of adversity. His message? It only takes one person to inspire another, and from there, the ripple effect begins. This is a powerful reminder that change is possible, even from the unlikeliest of places.
