The Teen Who Faced Life in Prison | Vice: I Was a Teenage Felon | True Lives

Marcus grew up in the middle of Washington DC’s violent 90s crime wave. He was selling crack at 13, stealing cars at 15, and one night — while showing a friend how to jack a car — both boys ended up facing life in prison. But Marcus’s story didn’t end there. After surviving the system and rebuilding his life, he became the CEO of Flikshop, a tech company designed to keep families connected to loved ones inside the prison system. This is the powerful story of a teen caught up in the streets… who turned his hardest years into a mission to help others.
