Damn bro, you should go to high schools an speak to the kids!! your good at what you do, and this video alone makes me have mad respect for you!! keep fighting the good fight man!!
emmet gundaski Definitely;he's articulate and confident,even w/ the cursing I think he could be a positive influence on kids to help them stay out of trouble.
I was a youth offender, I was locked up for 5 years 13 to 18. It changed my life, I learned a lot and I lost a lot. I'm now 45 and doing well I just want these kids to know that lifestyle will get you killed.
john c. bryant both my parents are / were tdcj officers and they always told me that this kinda thing is how to redeem yourself... Taking the message to others, just like AA or NA
I’m a deputy at a county jail... at a State Penn before that. The stories most CO’s have would blow your mind. We’re not supposed to tell ppl about what happened. It’s not a bad idea tho. Something I might do when I retire. However the last thing most COs ever want to do is become popular while on the job because anybody who thinks we wronged them right or wrong may try to do something to ourselves or our family.
Showed your videos to my gf's wreck less dope dealing 16 year old son. Changed his life my friend! He has turned everything around! From the bottom of my heart and on behalf of all of society and mankind Thank you thank you thank you for making the world a better place!! Sincerely!!! You are who we all strive to be. A wonderful human being!! Respect!
GOAL KING777 yes, saying "dope dealing" sounds far worse than saying "selling weed". Similarly, saying "I love violence" is completely different from "violence is interesting "
This dude really needs to be recognized for what he is trying to do. I am 17 I had sold drugs on occasions, stolen from grocery stores just to eat, I have had some fights here and there. I then started to realize I had talent in art and sports. I sold artwork I did to strangers for only $5-10 and often would convince them for at least $15 or under. started going back to school I am now in college doing art and expanding on options I made for myself. Life only gets hard if you let it be. Make decisions that only benefit you in long and short term. But yeah I respect this man a lot for what message he is trying get across but good luck though mate.
If you got a good head on your shoulders like me storm up ways you could make money. There's thousands of ways that are interesting and LEGAL. Hell take the risk and try starting a legit business! It cant hurt! Take logging or welding or construction work or plumbing. Those are good honest trades that you can learn and make GOOD money on. There are welders who work for 3 months out of the year and take the rest off! (its brutal 16h days for 6 days a week but its a hell of a lot easier than selling drugs!
Congrats bro and you’re a fucking badass fr fr. No one can judge you or hate on your growth as a individual in order to better yourself. It’ll all be worth it in the end just keep grinding and doing what you know is right. You got this dawg.
Joe, you are living proof that "a leopard never changes his spots" is bullshit. Keep on doing wat your doing man. I respect the hell out of you. Peace.
My dad is in prison and when I see him I never want to end up like him he tells me that I need to make right choices and he wants to see me as a good person and not like him
I am Australian(doesn't matter much) and my mother got caught growing 75-100 plants she is now facing up to 5 years. She has basically lost her mind because of one of her druggy friends (he gave her LSD METH and MDMA) I have been medically diagnosed with chronic depression and have tried to commit suicide twice. You videos have helped my stay alive (I am 13) this comment is a thank you. Thank you for the entertainment, thank you for the inspiration you have given me and thanking for the will power to live - sincerely Tobias Thankyou
Yeah, like that one commenter said: start with martial arts, wether it's kickboxing, boxing, karate, kungfu, bbj, mma or muay thai. It helps physically and mentally. I've been diagnosed with severe depression when I was 14 (am 20 now) and starting muay thai helped me keep strong. My coach helped me so much, I couldn't thank him enough. Give it a shot man
Spudmaster87 i know this has nothing to do with your comment but are you called tobias?! thats awesome! i've always wanna be called tobias! and stay strong man. you are only 13 and your life will get better.
Joe, that was an absolutely great message!! i was a CO for 15 years in a max security prison in Pa. The things you said about rape, stabbings and overall violence i saw on a daily basis. Everything you said was 100% the truth. Keep up the great work!! I watch your videos every day at work, and its awesome to be able to watch you and be a part of the APS Army!!
I'm an old convict. I get a kick out of your show. My story is pretty crazy but same as you between county and prison I was locked up from 20 till about 35 even going back at almost 40. This is one 0f the best videos. This needed to be said. Myself and my bros will reminisce and the kids here it and it sounds almost kool to them and like it ain't shit. It is when that cell locks at night and your with your own thoughts of what you've lost and where you would rather be the pain sets in. We dont talk about that. You did right on making this one. On another note. I love what your doing helping out other guys getting out. Keep it up man.
I was first arrested when I was 19 for shit I did while high, I had a real bad drug problem, caused me to have a stroke at the age of 20, I recovered 75% but every day I'm reminded of that. I was givin the chance to go a drug court program instead of doing time, Im 22 now and been clean for a year and a half and turning my life around.
Youre a good man Joe, I used to be a shithead same as you, doing nothing but dirt to get by, wasted some time of my youth like a moron, but I learned from it and it seems like you have as well. Stay strong brother, we can turn into good men, keep preaching it my man.
Joe you may never see this message due to all your future work. All of the weekly uploads, and live streams. I respect your hard work. I have mad respect for you. For all that you do. But the point of the message is to say thank you. Thank you for letting the world know about the true horrors of the reality of prison. You truly have turned your life around and proved to us, that a even a convicted felon can make something of them selfs. Thank you
zorbas091 it really depends on each person, some people will live healthy and happily till 70, and some will age poorly and have tons of issues at 40. It really depends on genes and lifestyle
Thanks Joe. I don't intend to ever go to prison or jail but I want you to know that not only do you not glamorize prison, but I had no idea how horrible a place it was until I saw your videos.
When I was n school the teachers use to say “By the time joe is 20 he will be dead or in prison.” Now I’m 57, never done drugs, never been arrested, never been locked up. I’m retired, I’m not rich but I travel the world, I have fun and love my life. Awesome video.
Sloan the Graffiti artist I don’t know if it’s F up or not, but it definitely got my attention. I was a bad kid growing up Got kicked out of high school the first day before class began. But never touching drugs saved me. I worshipped sports
Him Bike it’s kind of like my teacher a little when she used to tell the other kids “he can’t do math he’s not going to ever be in the airforce” the airforce is my dream and I’m going to prove her and all the other students wrong.
my respect for you man is over 9,000. you completely opened my eyes and im deciding to make some changes. after getting arrested for attempted murder that opended my eyes a bit but listening to you. someone who's been to the shit hole really inspired me to do better for myself. mad respect for you man keep it up dude. you can be those dudes on tv the motivational speakers and reach more people. sad story about that kid thats gonna do 4 for robbery :T if only if only. sucks
I'm probably the most boring, straight-laced person who has/will never get into trouble (I've never even cheated on an exam) but I love watching/listening to your videos. You know how to entertain
Angie T same. Haven’t gotten in trouble with anyone besides my mom for not doing house chores as a kid. But I still love these videos so much and think that they’re just so positive and good for the world. This guy is making change happen. Hell, some of the stuff he says even helps ME with my day to day BS. It makes me grateful that I never had to learn things the hard way, and hopeful for my friends from back home who have gotten caught up in stuff like this.
I can't believe I almost joined a gang, on multiple occasions, thank God an older cat, talked some sense into me. now I just keep to myself, hang with my queen when I get a chance and work
I was actually part of the AB when I was younger. One day a recruiter came to my school and talked me into coming and looking my options in the military. I wound up joining when I was 17 years old. It seemed like every week someone would call and say who got killed or who got caught while I was in the military. One day the call came that my best friend had been busted for murder and stealing a car. He was eventually convicted and sentenced. I still wonder what would have happened to me If I hadn't left that lifestyle.
I'm sitting here eating chicken wings trying to not cry. You're *actually* amazing dude. Thank you so much for everything you do. I subbed about a week ago and hit the subscription button without hearing anything from your mouth. I knew I was going to love this channel within seconds. I somehow manage to enjoy it more and more everyday. You're doing a great thing man.
What he's saying is absolutely correct. I went through the same exact thing he's telling everyone about. Got sentenced to 65 yrs and LUCKILY I was able to complete a program and served 30 months and on probation/parole for another 27 yrs. DO THE RIGHT THING PPL AND GROW THE FUCK UP.
I’ve been watching your videos for the last 5 hours straight, and still going! Your videos are not only inspirational but also, admirable! We need so many more people like you in this world. Ones that turn negativity into comedy and then show that, for every dark night, there’s a bright day!!
sometimes i feel like i have no choice, when you have charges especially violent or weapons. how can you make money to feed yourself. when theres roaches crawling on you and you are sleeping on the floor in abandoned houses all you want is survival. being young doesnt mean you have parents to look out for you all the time my parents are both somewhere getting high. it sucks but the street is some peoples only family.
Real s*** though to keep it 100 with you I felt the same way when I was 14 and my uncle convince me to sell dope form I got locked up when I was 16 but luckily I was a good kid in school and had good grades I just sold drugs haha so the judge only gave me 6 months and another 6 months on probation with 30 days on house arrest needless to say though I still needed money because I'll still broke my mom was trying to raise for boys and a little girl by herself I wanted money but I didn't want to go back to jail so I started mowing lawns and 12 years later it's a business that has blessed me I have two houses nice family I take care of my family and my mother there is always another way
Jordan you know young teenagers can’t be hired for an actual job right ? and even teenagers that are old enough, not all of them have the resources for stuff like getting to and from work. like he said, the street is some peoples only family.
Swear man I’ve commented this before but I have to again. You are a prime example of turning your life around after prison. You see a lot of people who get out and get back in but not you ur out here entertaining & informing people about your life experiences. it truly shows people change for the absolute better in life. keep doing what you are doing. Much love from Columbus Ohio. 🤙🏾
I just found your videos. One about your dead friends is a good idea. You seem like a good dude now, keep it up brother no doubt you are reaching some.
I humbly thank you for your caring and concern, sir. I truly hope you can reach some people who may be teetering "on the edge," and keep them from making wrong decisions. God Bless.
love what you’re doing. i’ve been inside the walls as an employee and it’s nice to see somebody who’s actually turned their life around. utmost respect and support for you sir
Bro this video truly moved me you really inspired me to stop doing the dumb shit it do now and straighten up my life I say through the whole video start to finish and you have really inspired me Thankyou so much
I wanna stop watching the video for a second to thank you for doing what you did in the first minute. I’m an ex gang member who’s almost lost his life plenty of times because of gang bullshit. Now, I’m reformed and a law abiding citizen, and luckily I never hurt anyone or got in any serious trouble with the law. But the reason I want to thank you is because I realize that you’re making a careee out of your life experiences and I respect you so much for capitalizing on something like this when felons are so handicapped in the job world. I know how hard it is for some ex cons to get work, so they fall back into the system. I’ve got a lot of respect for you Joe. Thank you for raising awareness. Gangs have not a single good thing about them. It’s all misery betrayal and abuse. No matter what situation you run into kids, boys, men, NEVER join a gang. Almost ruined my life, and absolutely destroyed my childhood. Thank you Joe. Thank God, I had the chance to recreate myself and repent.
Didn't he !!!!!!❤❤❤ he's gold!!! He's a slightly unhappy man today in October 2024 and I actually sometimes makes me CRY!!! JOE DESERVES WAY BETTER!!!!❤
I got lucky af! Freshmen year I was dealing dope in school and someone snitched on me. I had 5 gs on me and they nailed me with attempting to distribute and I got suspended for 3 weeks and had court and instead of giving me 2 years in juvenile detention he gave me 2 years probation. And I’m glad it happned at a young age I was headed down a horrible path
@@yourlife1351 yeah, nothing crazy.. it depends on the situation like, you know, individually packaged bags and a scale. Someone could catch that charge even if they had 3gs in those circumstances.
You're telling the truth, and only the truth, my sister is in jail for a 47 year sentence and she used her phone call on me a week after she was in prison. All she told me that it was a hell hole and not to do anything against the law. Now that you have told me what can happen in prison, I'm really scared for her. Every night I ask my mom how my sister is doing, and she won't respond. I pray for her every night, and hope she is still alive. Please listen to this man, he is a man of truth, happy to see him living life to the fullest now.
I could tell the message from that kid hit you kinda personally, I could see your eyes start watering up like you really understood what he was dealing with
AfterPrisonShow thanks for taking the time to reply man. I'm not going to tell you what I was about to do but watching your videos made me think twice before doing bad stuff. you should be real happy with yourself man
This was a good thing for young guys to listen to. I have been locked up appt as well and turned my life around now owning a gutter company. Your videos are awesome. Keep up the good sh*t.
becouse you want to show others not to go down the same road and be out of trouble couse their young and have a lot to live for and should be like you a classic man (this is about the short thing)
i literally discovered your videos today. i dig what you do, as a parent i know what your saying is true, and it makes me sad that alot of kids dont have anyone that gives a shit enough about them to show em the way shit really is and really can be and really happen to them if they dont get their shit together. i think what you do and say is very commendable and if nobody else tells you this thank you for trying to show. people " especially the kids" what can happen. man i been there did the drugs sold the drugs did more drugs sold more drugs to get more drugs and all the dumb shit that comes with it. little bit of jail time nothing drastic but enough to not want to go back. so once again thank you for doing what you do, plus some of the shit you say is funny cuz i understand what your saying and ive seen sone of the dumb shit myself and have done some of the dumb shit also. be good brother.
I watch you all the time. My man is doing 6 to 15 :( Thank you for helping me through all of this. You're my inspiration that people do change. Thank you!!!
“Life is much better when you’re not getting in trouble”. I approve this message! I’ve never been locked up but I was on crack & heroin for years & it was the worst time of my life. I used to rob money from my family, friends & boyfriend & I’m so lucky that they all forgave me. I’m clean from heroin about a year & crack only a month but all my family are so much happier now. I can just feel there’s less tension when I’m around them. I’m so thankful to them for forgiving me, I’m not sure I could have done it if I was them because I put them all through so much drama for so long.
I left a comment on another video. please help. my son is fascinated with prison and gangs. acting a fool. i am a mother, desperately trying to save my child.
if i can not save my child, i do not want to live. he is my world. i love my son, more than life its self. and he got himself back at juv detention, again, for stealing my car, and being with gang members, who have fooled him into think they are his friend. he does not understand that he is playing with fire. on the verge if throwing his life away. does he know how bad he id hurting me? he is his own worst enemy. he is only 15. please, any direction you can give?
This guy is exceptionally likeable
Bret Harley Relatable!
Bret Harley because he’s real. No bullshit straight up real talk
Damn bro, you should go to high schools an speak to the kids!!
your good at what you do, and this video alone makes me have mad respect for you!!
keep fighting the good fight man!!
mr. yougbuck i would like to do speaking engagements in 2017. i think people could learn a lot from what I've personally dealt with and seen.
AfterPrisonShow i wish that you could Come to a school in sweden,
Lajnusen123 me too bro. i dont think i can leave the country though.😳
AfterPrisonShow ok, next year im going to go to that school and so many friends from there know older kids Who are hokt on drugs
mr. yougbuck Hes probably reaching more young people here. He has 100,000 subscribers. Your average school has maybe 1000 kids.
you should go around and give speeches at schools and other places
emmet gundaski Definitely;he's articulate and confident,even w/ the cursing I think he could be a positive influence on kids to help them stay out of trouble.
@@zachmcmillan4060 like a scared straight thing, him and Dave go in and talk to the most troubled kids before they meet a judge
emmet gundaski yes maybe that's your calling
emmet gundaski you have something to talk to young or other people
Should be a guidance counselor with inner city youth.
I was a youth offender, I was locked up for 5 years 13 to 18. It changed my life, I learned a lot and I lost a lot. I'm now 45 and doing well I just want these kids to know that lifestyle will get you killed.
Exactly only 2 ways it can end either in prison or in the ground. Glad to see you turned your life around.
Yo camps aren't a joke. Salute to u
I am a retired prison guard, and I respect you.
john c. bryant both my parents are / were tdcj officers and they always told me that this kinda thing is how to redeem yourself... Taking the message to others, just like AA or NA
I bet you wouldn't say that if you were still on the job???
I’m a deputy at a county jail... at a State Penn before that. The stories most CO’s have would blow your mind. We’re not supposed to tell ppl about what happened. It’s not a bad idea tho. Something I might do when I retire. However the last thing most COs ever want to do is become popular while on the job because anybody who thinks we wronged them right or wrong may try to do something to ourselves or our family.
john c. bryant no self respecting CO. Would ever call himself a Guard. You must be a dinosaur
Tim Thompson who are you the gate keeper of correction officers? He can call himself what he wants.
Showed your videos to my gf's wreck less dope dealing 16 year old son. Changed his life my friend! He has turned everything around! From the bottom of my heart and on behalf of all of society and mankind Thank you thank you thank you for making the world a better place!! Sincerely!!! You are who we all strive to be. A wonderful human being!! Respect!
Jesus Perez 🙌🏽
Finesse lmao you really said "dope dealing". Unless you are referring to heroin, no one refers to weed as dope anymore
Drew Mortenson is that really relevant tho?
i hope he’s still doing good!
GOAL KING777 yes, saying "dope dealing" sounds far worse than saying "selling weed".
Similarly, saying "I love violence" is completely different from "violence is interesting "
If you comment why I decided to where this shirt in this video, I'll shout out 5 people who do so!
AfterPrisonShow favourite shirt right? Or nahhh
AfterPrisonShow why did you were that shirt
AfterPrisonShow it's the same shirt you had when you were released!!!
AfterPrisonShow you left prison in this?
Cause its dank
This dude really needs to be recognized for what he is trying to do. I am 17 I had sold drugs on occasions, stolen from grocery stores just to eat, I have had some fights here and there. I then started to realize I had talent in art and sports. I sold artwork I did to strangers for only $5-10 and often would convince them for at least $15 or under. started going back to school I am now in college doing art and expanding on options I made for myself.
Life only gets hard if you let it be. Make decisions that only benefit you in long and short term. But yeah I respect this man a lot for what message he is trying get across but good luck though mate.
If you got a good head on your shoulders like me storm up ways you could make money. There's thousands of ways that are interesting and LEGAL. Hell take the risk and try starting a legit business! It cant hurt!

Look up Katie Souza she teaches how to overcome trauma of the past so you can be happy 💯😁🌻
Joe, you are living proof that "a leopard never changes his spots" is bullshit. Keep on doing wat your doing man. I respect the hell out of you. Peace.
toby ellis well he went to jail over non violent drug offences which, quite frankly, is bullshit. he was reckless but bad? neh.
Wow... thank you for making that video. I'm in between jobs right now and I was about to start selling edibles. Not anymore! Thank you
Of all the houses he could rob... he picked the one nextdoor to his house?
GoHerping yeah i was thinking the same....
GoHerping prob had some good shit or he thought he wouldn't get caught since it's too obvious lol
GoHerping HOLY SHIT! I watch your videos man! I was legit scrolling through the comments and saw it was you!
Nick Darlington I ate a lizard once
bullet x its hilarious
You should play the game Prison Architect and try to build the prison you were incarcerated in.
A Giraffe yessss please
A Giraffe his PO may not like it...
TheStarrySky22 why's that?
It provides details to people who may want to help someone do some sort of damage to said prison.
Chip Bowdrie okay
My dad is in prison and when I see him I never want to end up like him he tells me that I need to make right choices and he wants to see me as a good person and not like him

Youre a good man Joe, I used to be a shithead same as you, doing nothing but dirt to get by, wasted some time of my youth like a moron, but I learned from it and it seems like you have as well. Stay strong brother, we can turn into good men, keep preaching it my man.
Joseph Woodall yes we can become good men!!!!
who robs their next door neighbor what the fu
My guess is that you can case the joint from your back yard and likely not be suspected. It's still fucked up.
My guess is he fabricated the story to put out a good message
Chase Lmao Bruh it happens all the time where I'm from , if you get robbed mostly likely someone on your street.
maybe the legend 27
boom bob
Probably right.
Joe you may never see this message due to all your future work. All of the weekly uploads, and live streams. I respect your hard work. I have mad respect for you. For all that you do. But the point of the message is to say thank you. Thank you for letting the world know about the true horrors of the reality of prison. You truly have turned your life around and proved to us, that a even a convicted felon can make something of them selfs. Thank you
34 isn't old, humans these days live up to 70-80 years now
zorbas091 no use crying about it now
my grandma is 92 now lamo 70-80?
i live in norway do like no one smokes weed here and do drugs
people in norway never die lol
zorbas091 it really depends on each person, some people will live healthy and happily till 70, and some will age poorly and have tons of issues at 40. It really depends on genes and lifestyle
Thanks Joe. I don't intend to ever go to prison or jail but I want you to know that not only do you not glamorize prison, but I had no idea how horrible a place it was until I saw your videos.
Same
phillip long me too
Favorite channel right now, you feel like a friend more than anything. Watch your videos each night before bed, really relaxing.
Joe please make a video of all those you've lost I'm 21 n in 3 months I lost 2 best friends bc of this lifestyle ur so inspiring
When I was n school the teachers use to say
“By the time joe is 20 he will be dead or in prison.”
Now I’m 57, never done drugs, never been arrested, never been locked up.
I’m retired, I’m not rich but I travel the world, I have fun and love my life.
Awesome video.
That’s so screwed up not going to lie
Sloan the Graffiti artist I don’t know if it’s F up or not, but it definitely got my attention.
I was a bad kid growing up
Got kicked out of high school the first day before class began.
But never touching drugs saved me.
I worshipped sports
Him Bike it’s kind of like my teacher a little when she used to tell the other kids “he can’t do math he’s not going to ever be in the airforce” the airforce is my dream and I’m going to prove her and all the other students wrong.
Sloan the Graffiti artist awesome.
My niece is an E-7 in the Air Force
Why did you retire at the age of 57?
You should totally do a collab with Officer401. You guys are opening a lot of peoples minds with your videos. Keep it up.
b000ring yes,he's awesome
b000ring great idea
b000ring please
b000ring ppl who been in the pen don't want to see or interact with a fucking cop ?! Sometimes not even their PO lol
b000ring fr
I never want to go to prison after watching this show thank you
This is not only encouraging but humbling. Makes me want to be appreciative.
my respect for you man is over 9,000. you completely opened my eyes and im deciding to make some changes. after getting arrested for attempted murder that opended my eyes a bit but listening to you. someone who's been to the shit hole really inspired me to do better for myself. mad respect for you man keep it up dude. you can be those dudes on tv the motivational speakers and reach more people. sad story about that kid thats gonna do 4 for robbery :T if only if only. sucks
ANONYMOUS 1 beating an attempted murder charge only opened your eyes a "bit"???? Lol OK then
I think this video could get over a million views.
FlyingOverTr0ut tru asf
FlyingOverTr0ut whaaaaaat. i just felt i needed to do a public service announcement. it needs to be done every once an a while. especially on UA-cam.
FlyingOverTr0ut here before if it happens
Honestly the best channel I've stumbled across in the last months.
I'm probably the most boring, straight-laced person who has/will never get into trouble (I've never even cheated on an exam) but I love watching/listening to your videos. You know how to entertain
Angie T same. Haven’t gotten in trouble with anyone besides my mom for not doing house chores as a kid. But I still love these videos so much and think that they’re just so positive and good for the world. This guy is making change happen. Hell, some of the stuff he says even helps ME with my day to day BS. It makes me grateful that I never had to learn things the hard way, and hopeful for my friends from back home who have gotten caught up in stuff like this.
I had to cheat .

80 years ? Might aswell just say, you're sentenced for life.
I'm in prison right now for 14 years.
fijifeels
Then how are you commenting on this comment right now ?
jadi bamanaboni life is 25 in Florida
Isn't life supposed to actually mean, you're in prison for the rest of your eternity ?
jadi bamanaboni no
So inspirational. Just please promise us fans (been here since 38k) that you won't start this click bait bullshit. Love the videos bro.
I do t talk to him currently but my dad once said:
When your young you make mistakes. When you older, you make choices.
-Steve Manos Sr.
I don't *
Steve Manos Who cares if you talk to him currently? Seems irrelevant
Steve Manos you're*
I love the video's keep it up bro.
*ur
Im only 18 and you really have changed my perspective on things. Thank you for sharing your stories Joe.
Thank you sir for your honesty!!!! wow !!!
I can't believe I almost joined a gang, on multiple occasions, thank God an older cat, talked some sense into me. now I just keep to myself, hang with my queen when I get a chance and work
brian mule are you in fucking prison? so many phones in the joint these days....
brian mule Better not be caught with that shit
I would be to lazy to join a gang. I like my bed to much.
Chud he probably means a street gang
I was actually part of the AB when I was younger. One day a recruiter came to my school and talked me into coming and looking my options in the military. I wound up joining when I was 17 years old. It seemed like every week someone would call and say who got killed or who got caught while I was in the military. One day the call came that my best friend had been busted for murder and stealing a car. He was eventually convicted and sentenced. I still wonder what would have happened to me If I hadn't left that lifestyle.
Total Respect to you Joe. For doing what you're doing.
People like you deserve love and respect.
PS. You are real AF !!!
WAIT you had 207k subs this morning!! Holy shit u growin soooo fast!!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK BROTHA!!
Robel Tesfu I just subbed. @ 450k June 8 2017. This guy is solid.
Robel Tesfu this gay got 611k at december 8
pro gamer Preiss now he has 618k wtf
Im ur Subscriber oh shit
625k
I'm sitting here eating chicken wings trying to not cry. You're *actually* amazing dude. Thank you so much for everything you do. I subbed about a week ago and hit the subscription button without hearing anything from your mouth. I knew I was going to love this channel within seconds. I somehow manage to enjoy it more and more everyday. You're doing a great thing man.
What he's saying is absolutely correct. I went through the same exact thing he's telling everyone about. Got sentenced to 65 yrs and LUCKILY I was able to complete a program and served 30 months and on probation/parole for another 27 yrs. DO THE RIGHT THING PPL AND GROW THE FUCK UP.
Isaac Comerford gun charges, cocaine charges and herion charges. 26 all together
65 years? Damn. In the uk that kind of time is reserved for murder charges only. The American justice system is so fucked
Izzy G HAHAHA
Izzy G the amount of "lmao" in that comment...
kevnct 1 yeah right, 27 years on probation my fucking ass
I’ve been watching your videos for the last 5 hours straight, and still going! Your videos are not only inspirational but also, admirable! We need so many more people like you in this world. Ones that turn negativity into comedy and then show that, for every dark night, there’s a bright day!!
is it just me or did he get 30k subs in 3 days?
ThatShitGoesHard Nah he really did it's crazy
ThatShitGoesHard well he deserves it
he did get 10k subs per day, which is pretty good
ThatShitGoesHard I found this channel abt a week ago and been binge watching the shit out of it
ThatShitGoesHard Found this channel today, I'm hooked!!!
I just found your channel and I already fucking love it
You're a wonderful person bro! you help a lot of people!
Your doing a good thing , it’s always good to have someone that has been through it encouraging others that you can change your life .
Found this channel not long ago and really enjoying it.
Snipp thats awesome and welcome!😎
sometimes i feel like i have no choice, when you have charges especially violent or weapons. how can you make money to feed yourself. when theres roaches crawling on you and you are sleeping on the floor in abandoned houses all you want is survival. being young doesnt mean you have parents to look out for you all the time my parents are both somewhere getting high. it sucks but the street is some peoples only family.
ash G.
Working 14 hour shifts pouring concrete, if theres a will, theres a way
Real s*** though to keep it 100 with you I felt the same way when I was 14 and my uncle convince me to sell dope form I got locked up when I was 16 but luckily I was a good kid in school and had good grades I just sold drugs haha so the judge only gave me 6 months and another 6 months on probation with 30 days on house arrest needless to say though I still needed money because I'll still broke my mom was trying to raise for boys and a little girl by herself I wanted money but I didn't want to go back to jail so I started mowing lawns and 12 years later it's a business that has blessed me I have two houses nice family I take care of my family and my mother there is always another way
Jordan you know young teenagers can’t be hired for an actual job right ? and even teenagers that are old enough, not all of them have the resources for stuff like getting to and from work. like he said, the street is some peoples only family.
Jordan fuck that why not
Steal and run
Verizon is my gang, I pay there high af prices to get some stupid ass 8 gb lte. Don't be me
LMFAO
Kert White set switch to Tmobile
Tmobile for life man! we gonna take your turf! lol
Jordon Carter MetroPcs 60$ a months with unlimited even at the beach...but not in Walmart there you're screwed
West Side Sprint gang FUCK your provider bitch
Thank you for the mature message. 💪
I hope many young men watch it.
you should make a video game and call it after prison game
wwe house fuck yeah I'd play it
wwe house dude im actually talking with a developer about a game. and an app developer who wants to create an APS app!😀
AfterPrisonShow awesome do you have any details yet?
AfterPrisonShow no way, that's so awsome I can't wait
Joe do you have any details on the game yet?
Can you do a video on the "no snitch policy"?
It was the same shirt you where wearing when you went to or got out of prison?
Btw you're one of a kind youtuber with your video's!
You are absolutely amazing! Thank you for being here. I sincerely appreciate you.
Thx APS you really helped me changed
what are you gonna call us?
prisoners? lol
the aps army
he says it in the intro
JaxonOnYT found this funny😂
Wow 30k subs in like 5 days, you're doing amazingly. Keep up what you're doing it clearly works!!!
Ben Evans thanks bro. we're going to break some records around here. lol
Swear man I’ve commented this before but I have to again. You are a prime example of turning your life around after prison. You see a lot of people who get out and get back in but not you ur out here entertaining & informing people about your life experiences. it truly shows people change for the absolute better in life. keep doing what you are doing. Much love from Columbus Ohio. 🤙🏾
Also plz dont sign with a network they are so shady
Joshua Hudson Weller its aight now bcs youtubers can quit their network If they want
How else is he gonna make cash (Not a bad thing)
Skrub L0rd networks take a substantial cut of your ad revenue, and he is doing fine on his own
Joshua Hudson slim shady?
Can you make a video about how to survive in prison? Like, how to serve your time without getting fucked up by gangs and/or having to join a gang?
Yeah don't go to prison then you'll survive and not get fucked up by anyone 💯
nate faz-loera yep
I just found your videos. One about your dead friends is a good idea. You seem like a good dude now, keep it up brother no doubt you are reaching some.
I humbly thank you for your caring and concern, sir. I truly hope you can reach some people who may be teetering "on the edge," and keep them from making wrong decisions. God Bless.
It's awesome that you turned your life around after prison.
this really hit me man keep it up 💯👍
Could you please do a video describing the different levels of prisons from minimum to maximum
love what you’re doing. i’ve been inside the walls as an employee and it’s nice to see somebody who’s actually turned their life around. utmost respect and support for you sir
Bro this video truly moved me you really inspired me to stop doing the dumb shit it do now and straighten up my life I say through the whole video start to finish and you have really inspired me Thankyou so much
I wanna stop watching the video for a second to thank you for doing what you did in the first minute. I’m an ex gang member who’s almost lost his life plenty of times because of gang bullshit. Now, I’m reformed and a law abiding citizen, and luckily I never hurt anyone or got in any serious trouble with the law. But the reason I want to thank you is because I realize that you’re making a careee out of your life experiences and I respect you so much for capitalizing on something like this when felons are so handicapped in the job world. I know how hard it is for some ex cons to get work, so they fall back into the system. I’ve got a lot of respect for you Joe. Thank you for raising awareness. Gangs have not a single good thing about them. It’s all misery betrayal and abuse. No matter what situation you run into kids, boys, men, NEVER join a gang. Almost ruined my life, and absolutely destroyed my childhood. Thank you Joe. Thank God, I had the chance to recreate myself and repent.
You probably gave a person his life by making this video!
[eRekt] Ohyeah that’s what quality UA-cam content is bud
Didn't he !!!!!!❤❤❤ he's gold!!!
He's a slightly unhappy man today in October 2024 and I actually sometimes makes me CRY!!!
JOE DESERVES WAY BETTER!!!!❤
real genuine and a real inspiration, i hope you get everything good in life.
it changed my dads life he was in a 3
I got lucky af! Freshmen year I was dealing dope in school and someone snitched on me. I had 5 gs on me and they nailed me with attempting to distribute and I got suspended for 3 weeks and had court and instead of giving me 2 years in juvenile detention he gave me 2 years probation. And I’m glad it happned at a young age I was headed down a horrible path
5gs attempting to distribute damn
@@yourlife1351 yeah, nothing crazy.. it depends on the situation like, you know, individually packaged bags and a scale. Someone could catch that charge even if they had 3gs in those circumstances.
Xe Mango what is dope to u? Weed? Crack?
you don't always have to make jokes. this is a good video
it is inspirational stuff like this that makes this my favorite youtube channel. Thank you.
Joe your the coolest dude! Via a UA-cam video, I love you!! I wish I had a best friend like you in real life.
Timothy Ellis Yeep, i was gonna say that, bros really down to earth
this video makes me want to stop shoplifting
thanks Joe
Run3Silver thats very awesome to hear!😌
You're telling the truth, and only the truth, my sister is in jail for a 47 year sentence and she used her phone call on me a week after she was in prison. All she told me that it was a hell hole and not to do anything against the law. Now that you have told me what can happen in prison, I'm really scared for her. Every night I ask my mom how my sister is doing, and she won't respond. I pray for her every night, and hope she is still alive. Please listen to this man, he is a man of truth, happy to see him living life to the fullest now.
I hope people listen to your message. Its a wonderful thing that you're doing here!
I could tell the message from that kid hit you kinda personally, I could see your eyes start watering up like you really understood what he was dealing with
False
Dirovex thats why He is the best youtuber very genuine
Dirovex yeah me to I really understand especially instead of getting jumped into a gang I got gang raped and it was really fun.

EpicBonfire10 thank you bro!😀
AfterPrisonShow thanks for taking the time to reply man. I'm not going to tell you what I was about to do but watching your videos made me think twice before doing bad stuff. you should be real happy with yourself man
This was a good thing for young guys to listen to. I have been locked up appt as well and turned my life around now owning a gutter company. Your videos are awesome. Keep up the good sh*t.
becouse you want to show others not to go down the same road and be out of trouble couse their young and have a lot to live for and should be like you a classic man (this is about the short thing)
shirt*
reply if I'm right
dude, you should come speak at my school!
That's a great idea, I wonder if he would
i literally discovered your videos today. i dig what you do, as a parent i know what your saying is true, and it makes me sad that alot of kids dont have anyone that gives a shit enough about them to show em the way shit really is and really can be and really happen to them if they dont get their shit together. i think what you do and say is very commendable and if nobody else tells you this thank you for trying to show. people " especially the kids" what can happen. man i been there did the drugs sold the drugs did more drugs sold more drugs to get more drugs and all the dumb shit that comes with it. little bit of jail time nothing drastic but enough to not want to go back. so once again thank you for doing what you do, plus some of the shit you say is funny cuz i understand what your saying and ive seen sone of the dumb shit myself and have done some of the dumb shit also. be good brother.
I watch you all the time. My man is doing 6 to 15 :( Thank you for helping me through all of this. You're my inspiration that people do change. Thank you!!!

iWinRar soft ass gabachos fuck those fools
I think you will reach a lot of people with this video. It's genuine and to the point..
I watch all of these videos every night when I smoke my pot
Same here, and currently
Thought sometimes you have to join gangs in prison
Daniel Davis ikr
Daniel Davis not really
What's it like the day before your release?
Anderson Sutton That is a good question tbh.. do your cellmates celebrate? Do people hate? Do you get your final prison supper? lmao
Anderson Sutton Stay up waiting to get out then everyone wants your stuff before you go.
Anderson Sutton i heard you should never eat the prison food the first day you're in and the last day you're in. idk why
You get your ass kicked or almost killed because they want to leave as well stay hidden
Anderson Sutton i got jumped by mexicans soon as i got out
“Life is much better when you’re not getting in trouble”. I approve this message! I’ve never been locked up but I was on crack & heroin for years & it was the worst time of my life. I used to rob money from my family, friends & boyfriend & I’m so lucky that they all forgave me. I’m clean from heroin about a year & crack only a month but all my family are so much happier now. I can just feel there’s less tension when I’m around them. I’m so thankful to them for forgiving me, I’m not sure I could have done it if I was them because I put them all through so much drama for so long.
I’ve only watched two videos, this one and an “entertaining” one. Keep it real, like u did here. Youth need more real talk.
Think prison as school it's fun to tell stories about it but it's HELL being there
Cameron i think he is yea
keblar but instead of learning u get beat up N shit
I left a comment on another video. please help. my son is fascinated with prison
and gangs. acting a fool. i am a mother, desperately trying to save my child.
if i can not save my child, i do not want to live. he is my world. i love my son, more than life its self. and he got himself back at juv detention, again, for stealing my car, and being with gang members, who have fooled him into think they are his friend. he does not understand that he is playing with fire. on the verge if throwing his life away. does he know how bad he id hurting me?
he is his own worst enemy. he is only 15. please, any direction you can give?
Susanne Griffin get him to watch these videos or take him to a prison program where they show kids where prisoners will scare them from crime
Susanne Griffin ^^
Susanne Griffin buy him a bag of heroin so he can sell it
Susanne Griffin my god , i’m sorry. I wish my mother cared for me the way you care for your son. i hope everything worked out.
