John G shares his powerful journey from trauma to transformation, revealing how early family tragedy and an abusive household led to gang involvement and multiple incarcerations before finding purpose in mental health advocacy. His raw account demonstrates how systemic failures in juvenile justice and prison systems often perpetuate cycles of criminality rather than foster rehabilitation.
• Born to a Mexican father and German mother who divorced when he was eight
• Lost his younger brother to an undetected heart condition at age 14
• Joined a gang at age 13 and was first incarcerated at 14 in California Youth Authority
• Experienced the harsh reality of prison politics and racial segregation in the Nevada prison system
• Survived 18 months in solitary confinement at Neely Supermax (23 hours daily in a 6x10 cell)
• Developed mental dissociation techniques to survive extreme isolation
• Now works in mental health, using his experiences to help others
If you have questions about mental health resources or support for formerly incarcerated individuals, please reach out to us through our social media channels.
