Jake Bostick's family moved to Del Rio as part of his dad’s job as a federal border agent. What started as a fresh start, turned to chaos. Jake was arrested during baseball tryouts for a reason that would disgrace his family. Hear his recollection of seeing his classmates openly use drugs in the classroom and how he lost a dear friend to drug-running and crime. The border’s dark underbelly nearly swallowed Jake whole. He left Del Rio to escape the downward spiral, but the border town never left him. Listen as he shares his journey from addiction to rebuilding his life, and the shocking realities of exactly what 40 bucks could get you just over the river. Listener discretion is advised.
