WHITE CRIP Gang Member Reveals How He Survived Most VIOLENT California Prisons, BEAT A Life Sentence
From the streets of Lancaster to the heart of South Central LA, Tyler Corcoran made the unthinkable choice at 14- he ran away from home and joined the 120 Raymond Crips — as a white gang member in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in America.
By 17, he was sentenced to 80 years to life under California's Three Strikes Law. What followed was a harrowing journey through Level 4 maximum-security prisons, prison riots, near-death experiences, and intense racial politics. But in the darkest place imaginable, Tyler found light. He dropped out of the gang, transformed his mindset, and became a voice of empathy, growth, and redemption from within the system.
Now free, Tyler shares his powerful story of survival, change, and hope — and what it really takes to make it out alive.
WATCH UNTIL THE END to hear:
-What it’s like being a white Crip in prison
-How prison politics nearly cost him his life
-Why he chose to drop out and pursue inner peace
-How he beat a life sentence and rebuilt his life
-The emotional reunion with his family and his mission now

How San Francisco's BIGGEST Drug Lord Became The Top Cocaine Distributor For The Medellin Cartel
James Beasley Jr. rose from the streets of Hunter’s Point to become San Francisco’s most notorious drug kingpin, moving 1,000 kilos of cocaine a month for the Medellín Cartel at the height of the crack epidemic. In this exclusive interview, Beasley reveals how he scaled his empire, outsmarted the DEA for years, and ultimately served 27 years in federal prison—not for drugs, but for tax evasion, like Al Capone.
Now a free man and a millionaire once again through real estate, Beasley reflects on the street game, surviving the feds, and what it takes to rebuild. From cartel meetings in Colombia to front businesses in the Bay, this is a raw, unfiltered story of power, loyalty, betrayal—and redemption.
