Yosvani Gacita Negrin was born in Cuba but came to the U.S. as a baby, never realizing that his lack of citizenship would one day turn his life upside down. After getting involved with drugs and being arrested by the feds, he spent three years in a private prison before being transferred to ICE custody for deportation. But when Cuba refused to take him back, Yosvani was released—left in legal limbo, unable to fully move forward with his life. #ImmigrationPrison #DetentionCenter #PrivatePrison #ImmigrationDetention #ICEDetention #PrisonStory #HumanRights #TheSystemExposed Connect with Yogi: Youtube: https://youtube.com/@havefaithshowlovegivehope?si=Lu9ppGiP9lYjxGLk Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YogiGacita?mibextid=ZbWKwL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yosvanigacita/profilecard/?igsh=MWN3b2RybW95bmMyZA== Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Buy Merch: https://convictclothing.net/collections/convict-clothing-x-ian-bick Timestamps: 00:00:00 Introduction and Podcast Promotion 00:05:01 Escaping Cuba: A Personal Journey 00:10:07 Heroin Indictment and Legal Consequences 00:15:16 Life in Immigration Prisons: Personal Experience and Insights 00:20:11 Prison Life and Inmate Hierarchy 00:25:10 Dangers of Returning to the Dominican Republic 00:30:13 Prison Life: Social Dynamics and Routines 00:35:00 Life Before and After Prison 00:39:41 Leadership Dynamics Among Cuban Prisoners 00:44:36 Prison Respect and Culture 00:49:20 Immigration Visitation Concerns 00:54:30 Life Inside County Jail and Deportation Process 00:59:27 Immigration Detention and Release Process 01:04:24 From Podcasts to Fitness Motivation 01:09:37 Building Bridges Through Faith and Conversation 01:14:50 Navigating Immigration Challenges in the U.S. 01:19:53 Reflections on Citizenship and Politics Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.
