They didn’t just target him.

They built an entire political machine to silence him.

Sheriff Victor Hill — former homicide detective, top-voted Clayton County sheriff, bestselling author of Vigilante Sheriff — pulls up to Crime Pays for the rawest, uncut interview he’s done in over a decade.

For the first time, he breaks down how the system framed him, how a misdemeanor magically became a felony, and how prosecutors, judges, and political insiders flipped the justice system upside down just to take him out.

From locking down Clayton County with zero tolerance for crime,

to being sent to one of the worst federal prisons in America,

to becoming the first man in U.S. history charged with “police brutality” without ever laying a hand on anyone,

to now running for Congress…

this is the part of the story they never wanted you to hear.

This episode exposes:

• How investigators ignored real killers to focus on political targets

• How a misdemeanor turned into a felony so he couldn’t run again

• How prosecutors hid evidence while crime exploded on the streets

• How judges with conflicts of interest controlled the case

• Why plea deals destroy innocent people every year

• Why the justice system profits off chaos, violence, and indictments

• Why 50,000 people a year sit in prison for crimes they didn’t commit

• Why America’s “90% conviction rate” is built on fear — not truth

• How Sheriff Hill plans to fix Congress from the inside

This isn’t about left or right.

It’s about truth, accountability, and a system that punishes the wrong people while real criminals roam free.

If you’re behind the wall, coming home soon, or holding down someone who’s locked up —

this episode is mandatory.
