Frederick Hutson is an entrepreneur whose biggest early venture landed him in prison for nearly five years-distributing marijuana through UPS and FedEx.

While in prison, he realized that a lot of the problems of everyday prison life could use a business solution. And then, he got out.

Today on the show, a businessman goes to prison, and decides he is going to disrupt the biggest captive market in America.
