About this listen

The Feloni$t is an anonymous, unfiltered podcast built from real journal entries written from the inside: Rikers, Bedford, Albion and Danbury. Each episode is a raw reading from those prison diaries -- a firsthand record of mental health struggles, addiction, survival and the daily realities of navigating incarceration.

These entries trace the full arc of life in the system and beyond: from jail and prison to parole, probation and home confinement. The creator recounts stories and tales about work, family, love and life after the sentence is over but the collateral consequences continue.

Told in the creator's own words and voice, The Feloni$t is a living archive of resilience and reckoning about surviving the system and ultimately finding yourself. Even in life's darkest chapters, the message is hope.

CONTENT WARNING: This podcast contains explicit language and disturbing descriptions of incarceration, mental health, addiction and trauma issues. Listener discretion is advised.
