I Went to Prison — Then I Was Pardoned by President Trump | Angela Stanton-King

Angela Stanton-King opens up about growing up in Atlanta, becoming a mother at a young age, and how the pressure to survive pushed her into hustling in the streets. Her path eventually led to two prison sentences, including the emotional experience of giving birth while incarcerated. In this episode of the Locked In Podcast with Ian Bick, Angela shares how she rebuilt her life after prison by writing books, starting a nonprofit, and becoming a voice for criminal justice reform. Her journey of survival, redemption, and reinvention ultimately led to receiving a presidential pardon, changing the course of her life forever.
