Join Matt, Jules and Lisa as delve into the complex and controversial life of Stanley "Tookie" Williams. From his early years as a co-founder of the Crips, one of the most notorious street gangs in Los Angeles, to his transformation into a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, Williams' story is one of redemption, incarceration, and profound societal impact.

Born in 1953, Williams grew up in South Central Los Angeles, a hotbed of gang activity and social unrest. At a young age, he became deeply involved in gang culture, eventually helping to establish the Crips in 1971. However, after spending years behind bars for various crimes, Williams underwent a remarkable transformation while on death row for multiple murders.

Join us as we explore the life, legacy, and enduring impact of Tookie Williams. From his early days as a gang leader to his eventual quest for redemption, Williams' story challenges us to reconsider our notions of justice, rehabilitation, and the power of individual transformation.
