The Hustler Files Ep 33
THEY MAY BE DAVID’S SIZE, BUT THEIR DETERMINATION IS THAT OF GOLIATH
The percentage of women incarcerated is minute in comparison to that of men, but their struggles to overcome the traumas that led them to drug addiction, anger or alcoholism is equal if not greater than the same wounds of their male counterparts. Meet Ashley and Sarah, one is still behind the wall in the pre-trial treatment unit and the other is now post release and working to create the new life of becoming sober. Both their journey’s share a common thread, the determination to not slip back into their old ways of life.

SETTING THE STAGE FOR EPISODE 33
As a prelude to the upcoming Episode 33, we thought we’d re-air an interview we featured a few months back to set the stage for that future episode. Twenty million Americans struggle with alcohol. For Melissa, it was a triple threat – alcohol, drugs, and anger. From the very young age of 11 till her 37th birthday, Melissa led the worst side of hustling to keep her addictions and adrenaline fed. In her own words, she describes the constant ‘skid bid’ as she calls it, how the tribe she surrounded herself with was literally loving her to death. and how she finally found a way out.
