How to Ruin Your Own Reputation

Khalil Ray Jr., Prison Reform Advocate

Listen on

Episode notes

Detroit prosecutors referred to Khalil Ray Jr. as a dangerous radical extremist with ties to ISIS who had made violent threats against a church, among other things. His lawyer described his case as the perfect example of the improper use of FBI undercover agents and informants. Which one was it? After being incarcerated for over five years and experiencing the atrocities of the prison system, Khalil became an outspoken advocate and activist for prison reform. What’s it like to be part of a high profile case getting a ton of media coverage accusing you of horrible things? What role did being a lonely kid, wanting a girlfriend play in Khalil’s story? Was the FBI justified in the methods they used to arrest him? What kind of stigma do former inmates face when trying to rejoin society? I could’ve continued the conversation for hours! Khalil shares his story and insight all over social media and in a documentary on YouTube. He also answers questions and comments on Instagram and TikTok.
