INSPIRING HOPE THROUGH TRANSFORMATION
“[Being in prison] is the real battle. This is the training ground, and when I get out, that is the boxing match.”—Gio
Gio Rodriguez remembers smuggling cash in his boot as a kid in Dallas, Texas. It was a prize for helping his father, a drug dealer, weigh the drugs and count the money. Gio was too young to understand what was going on, but he knew his dad could afford whatever the family needed.
Because Gio performed well in school, he often moved to advanced classes. He met many people but struggled to keep a consistent group of friends. Gio was easily influenced by the "cooler" crowds he wanted to fit into. He continued dabbling in drug dealing, and by 19, he was making thousands of dollars a day.
One life-changing day, Gio found his car surrounded by unmarked police vehicles, with half a kilo of cocaine and a gun in his possession. He panicked and sped off, taking a shot at the cops along the way. But he knew the chase wouldn’t last. He was running out of gas and out of time.
