In this episode of Criminal Behavior, we go inside El Buen Pastor prison in Bogotá to hear the story of Jia Guo, a Chinese woman sentenced to 18 years after being identified as the "ringleader" of an alleged gang involved in loan sharking. She was arrested three months pregnant and is now raising her daughter in prison.

Jia Guo recounts how she came to Colombia out of curiosity and a desire for freedom, how she worked as a translator and facilitator for Chinese businessmen, and how she ended up in the middle of an investigation where—according to her—the Prosecutor's Office confused companies, roles, and responsibilities. She talks about the arrest operation, the charges against her, the fear, the loneliness, and the hardest part: becoming a mother behind bars. #criminalbehavior #podcast #prison
