Part 7/8:
After serving 16 years, Ruben was released and became a consultant for prison and rehabilitation programs. Drawing from his own experiences, he created fitness and mental health programs aimed at those struggling with addiction and the pressures of gang life. He emphasizes the importance of self-ownership and moving past bitterness to find purpose and healing.
Ruben's work now centers on guiding others in similar situations toward a healthier lifestyle, teaching martial arts, and mentoring individuals looking to escape the cycle of violence and addiction that he once knew all too well.
