Big Dragon was a prisoner featured on the A&E show Beyond Scared Straight who was a member of a Mexican gang and served two life sentences for two murders. Known for his intimidating presence, he participated in the program to scare at-risk teenagers by sharing his personal experiences and the harsh realities of life in prison, according to the YouTube video. He was brought into the program to talk to teenagers about the consequences of crime. Despite his reputation as scary, one viewer noted that his approach was "smooth and chill" rather than aggressive, making his message more impactful. As of 2025, he joined the ISG supergroups after escaping prison (who is also home to Hustle Man, Big Deuce, Marcus Reed the "Psycho", etc.)
