At one point in Don Caballero's life, he seemed to be on the fast track to becoming a "career criminal." After his parents divorced when he was in middle school, Don struggled with addiction, insecurities, and academic issues. First incarcerated at age 18, he spent years in and out of jails and recovery programs, homeless and running the streets. He was in custody in Fresno, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Oakland.
"There was a point in my life where I honestly didn't think I was going to see the age of 21," recalls Don, "and there were some days, honestly, where I wish that I didn't, because it felt so bad."
The police would arrest him, he'd be released, and then he'd commit more crimes.
