In a revealing interview, Freeway Ricky Ross opened up about his shocking journey from running a billion-dollar c*****e empire to receiving a life sentence in prison. Despite his substantial wealth, Ricky didn't flee the country with millions in tow to evade authorities. Instead, he stayed stateside, initially considering Cincinnati over potential hideouts like Jamaica. He explained how his perspective on the legal system was naïve—expecting a lighter sentence until he was confronted with the reality of potential life in prison. Ricky ultimately served 20 years, his lengthy sentence punctuated by continuous legal battles, including a significant indictment pulled due to corrupt law enforcement. Reflecting on prison life, Ricky likened it to hell, emphasizing how it's seen as a rite of passage in impoverished communities. The contrasting experiences of cartel figures, who adeptly disappear, highlight the unique challenges faced by African-Americans like Ricky, who couldn't easily disappear due to their complicated cultural and historical backgrounds.
