You won’t believe the twists and turns in Julie Moya’s life, especially when it comes to her uncanny, 13-year cycle of arrests in 2005 and 2018. With insights from the Em Vaughn, Julie walks us through the gripping details: being besieged by the FBI, a frantic warning from her son, and a friend’s ill-fated attempt to retrieve a crucial laptop. Facing a staggering 57-count indictment, she shares the legal battles of someone deeply entrenched in the brothel business. We dive into the personal and financial wreckage left in the wake of these trials, the emotional strain on family members, and the clever maneuvers employed to dodge undercover cops.

Finally, we discuss the gritty world of incarceration, from the notorious Rikers Island to the more pastoral Beacon Correctional Facility. Julie shares her paradoxical experiences of finding moments of ‘fun’ amidst the chaos—contraband smuggling and all—while also facing dehumanizing searches and rough treatment from correctional officers. This is a candid reflection on maintaining humanity within the harsh confines of the prison system, and the small victories that keep the spirit alive.
