Seth Ferranti
Seth Ferranti is an American journalist and writer born on January 02, 1972, in Lemoore, California.
In 1993, after two years on the United States Marshals Service's 15 Most Wanted Fugitives list, he was arrested for drug trafficking. At the start of his run, in 1991, he had organized his mock suicide by leaving his car, his clothes, an empty bottle of Vodka, and a letter on the banks of the Potomac River.
Sentenced to 304 months in prison for trafficking LSD, Seth Ferranti began his career as a journalist in prison and wrote for VICE and The Daily Beast, among others. In 2005, he opened a blog, Gorilla Convict, dealing with prison life and gangs.
He was released in 2014 after 21 years of detention.
