I was basically and I had Months, which is Years, Four Months in the feds.
Imagine starting life as a military brat, getting into drugs at 13, and by 19, running a drug empire across five states. That’s the wild beginning of Seth Ferranti’s story. In this gripping episode of 'Roll Call with Chappy', host Peter Meyerhoff sits down with Seth to unravel his journey from being one of the U.S. Marshals’ 15 Most Wanted Fugitives to a celebrated filmmaker and journalist.
Seth’s tale is one of extreme highs and lows, including faking his own suicide to dodge jail time and eventually getting caught after a joint-smoking mishap behind a shop. At just 23, he was handed a 25-year sentence. But instead of letting prison break him, Seth used his time to earn a master’s degree and kickstart a writing career that would later blossom into filmmaking.
This conversation dives deep into the harsh realities of mandatory minimums and sentencing guidelines, the gritty details of prison life, and the redemptive power of education. Seth shares how he transitioned from prison to building a successful business with his wife’s support. If you’re seeking a story that shows the incredible resilience of the human spirit, this episode is for you.
