Well Recorded. Everything he says is absolutely true. I did 15 years flat. Been free 15 year. Went in lost illiterate and Angry. Educated myself, went to the local community college. Now I work for the City I live in. Complete turn around. I will be telling my story soon on my channel. Thinks allowing our stories to be told. Paperdreams Production.
Yesssir he's hitting the nail right on the Head i i Definitely understand where he's coming from i serve 10years in Florida D.O.C 💯💪💪only the Strong Survive and the Weak Dies.... This brother is a perfect example stay focus my brotha 💪💪💪💪💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Everything that Banky is speaking about is real, these things actually takes place in prison. I've done 27 years and have seen some of these same things. However, I am truly grateful for turning my life around. Today I am a Building Engineer and Personal trainer...I tip my hat to Banky and other men who have survived prison...
I truly appreciate all of the positive replies on my comments....With a good support team, positive thinking, belief in yourself and faith in God all things are possible. Thank you once again....
He looks about 50-55 yrs old. Must have gone to prison as a young man. He’s done his time, paid for his crime and entitled to live free and tell his story. Everyone deserves a second chance. I wish him good luck for the future.
Blessings to this brother and everyone who went in and came out and turned it around. Prison should not be a destination, listen to this brother, it ain't worth it.
That would help only.....you do know that there's a school to prison pipeline? That was designed to shuffle us in AND keep us there. So imagine that he goes and speaks to our children at the same place where these evil ppl WANT nothing but our demise? This talk has to be covert as the powers that can will NEVER allow it.
If I met this man on the street and talked to him. I wouldn't have never thought he did 35 years due to his intellectual words and actions. Big up to you big homie!!
Yeah...he needs his own UA-cam Channel. This man is still in his right mind after 33yrs. Is a Blessing. He’s so humble; intelligent and charming and comical 😄. God Bless🙏🏾🌼🌼
After doing 8 yrs I'll never forget the horrors what goes on in prison. Now my little brother is serving life. Everyday I'm tryna figure out how can I help him get out. Folks please don't crash out. Blessings
@Th3rd p4rdy Wow. So sorry i 🙏 you get the opportunity to get your brother release. Ok glad you get out. Pray God grant you your 🙏.. These young kids just don't understand.. They head is very hard.. These judges absolutely don't care.. They never visit those prisons.. They careless.. Just 😥 my heart just bleed for this young generation.. 😭😇😇😇 wish they just listen.. God is a God of second chances.. Mercy Lord jesus.. God bless you. Sir... Free is appreciated..
I worked in a prison for 7 years. Seen alot of stuff while I worked there. I remember people like him cool calm and collected. Never bothered staff any but at the same time you always knew he was the real deal .
And he's very intelligent I wish he could do a a show and talk about these stories educate our young men it's like you don't want to turn away he speak so well and it's so clear on the storytelling you can almost see it, respect this man for all the things he's been through.
The true word of testifying his life before man as a testiment of hard times unavoidable for him and gives it to others to wittness a different way of life. To avoid his hell.
Watch his story’s they are amazing he helped the weak as much as possible he tried to help the gang members but they are young and don’t listen to anyone
I spent nearly 7 years as a volunteer counselor in the state of Virginia prisons after college. I was completely blown away and educated by events inside the prison walls. What was so ironic was the level of integrity and wits of inmates toward each other. In the early 2000s I spent 4 years doing inmate payroll for 28 state prisons Correctional enterprise shops for the state of Virginia. The low wages paid to inmates were heartbreaking and depressing!!!!
Banky is spot on with his wisdom, he would make an awesome speaker to kids out there, maybe even be able to speak at the schools or community centers, the advice he is giving out is priceless 🙏
Sir, God has truly preserved you. Please take no offense to what I'm about to say but men have been confined for less time than you and look like who did it and what for...(lol) but you look like time has stood still. Enjoy every day, every moment, every tree, the scent of every flower and every breath that you've been given as a free man. 🙏🏿💓
They say “Prison preserves you,you don’t physically age as fast as you would on the streets” But they say alot of shit,cant really speak on it personally just repeating what the homies say.
He might be soft spoken and humble but I guarantee he will you up if he feels it is necessary. His biggest asset is his intelligence. I wish him the best and hope he gets to enjoy his freedom to the fullest. Good luck and best wishes Banky!
I had to pause the video to say this: Bankie, you are a gentleman and a great storyteller. I love listening to your story. I hope you are keeping safe my friend!
This show is amazing and it shows that these men can be rehabilitated and not by the prison, but from their own wanting of a change and chance of survival when they get out. Thank you for making this show and opening my eyes and knowing that there is hope for these people and they are not institutionalised. Amen and God Bless you all.
Banky's the dude, man. You can tell the narrative is genuine and it makes sense even if you've never been in prison. This was a real professional-feel vid. Props to Joe and Banky. Thanks, Bros.
23:22 💯💯💯keep dropping those💣💣💣💣and maybe at least one person will take heed to what you’re saying.🤷🏾♀️🤦🏽♀️we can only hope.I loved hearing your story and your voice was compelling.Let it be so,for the people who are just getting started in a career of prison life.
I don't know who this gentleman is or what he did, but GOD has allowed him to obtain so much wisdom and discernment during those 33 years. I could listen to him talk all day. As a matter of fact, he needs to do a TED Talk, and most definitely speak at middle and high schools to help these young people who are heading or contemplating heading down the wrong path. I can only imagine the full depth of what he's seen and experienced as he's giving us the "nice" version of his experiences over the past 33 years. I pray that the rest of his days are fruitful and blessed IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!!!
This is an incredible man. Not sure why he went to prison but I can see he was raised well. He can also deliver a humble, direct, real, and meaningful delivery; he is captivating and you want to hear what he has to say. I hope he uses this gift and speaks to all young kids. 💙🙏🏼💙
I truly enjoyed listening to Banky. He has great screen presence and such a great story teller. I could listen to him for hours. He should definitely have his own channel. I hope you show more of him! He seems to be a real chill dude. Real laid back and down to earth.
Joe, the things you do with this channel is amazing. You are a true inspiration to anyone who feels hopeless not just former prisoners. Today's world makes it hard to keep your head up and people like you make us believe we can.
my sons been locked up for 5 years, 4 to go, it's like I'm locked up with him. my heart goes out to all prisoners except child molesters and murderers.
It's so not worth it. If you think you want to do something bad that will make you feel better in the moment just think how awful you will feel in prison. I guarantee it feels a Million times worse than how you feel when you get to the point of wanting to commit a crime. If it's a situation with money, revenge, whatever. Prison will make your emotions worse. You will be treated as a non human. There's noone that cares about you in there and whatever problems you have. Stay free
Most Intelligent Comment I've Seen on Social Media.More Your Chosen Higher Power Continue to Bless Keep and Protect You and Your Family and Friends.Love& Peace 😎 😁 luv ya byo eJ
You are doing a great deed for these youngsters. Not glorifying prison like some other channels. But speaking in a way that is discouraging these youngsters from going to prison. And teaching lessons. That's solid right there.
Omg! I am in complete awe of this humble man! I don't know what happened to get you in prison for so long. Your life story would be something to go out and talk to everyone at any age. You got through it and came out of it as one of the most humble and wise heart and soul I have ever listened to! God bless you Banky! I pray that people are actually listening to you . 🤗
So glad you made it out brother. My husband spent 17 and he was lucky to get that. He was behind the wall for 80% of that time so I hear these crazy ass stories every day lol. But I am so glad so see you well and don't have any scars on ur face haha. Let these young ones know what it is and pray they listen cuz we learn in this life through our experience. If your words can reach someone, thats a beautiful thing. Stay blessed.
The whole gettin almost killed thing reminds me of my buddy. He served 12 years in prison. But anyways, he saw some dude beating his girl so he got in between them and punched the dude on the face, the girl bleeding got up and started hitting my friend yelling for him to get off of him and mind his own business... the world is fucked...
@@jman7287 I just want y'all to know, just like Banky said. You don't know their situation. You helping her now could kill her later. Just keep that in mind.
Because anybody can get beat. It doesn't discriminate. What you see is an attack on a weaker women, but in their situation they think the should slap someone
DAMMMMM BANKY IS FINE AS HELL!!!! IT'S SAD THAT HE WAS IN PRISON FOR SOOOO MANY YEARS!!! I HOPE HE CAN ENJOY THE REST OF HIS LIFE NOW....HE TALK WITH SO MUCH ELEQUENCE AND KNOWLEDGE WITH MUCH RESPECT!!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

This brother has a lot of knowledge that would stop a lot of young men from going into prison. They would change their thoughts on committing a crime, instead think to get a job or enroll in school. Positive thinking.
I was wrapped up in the drug game for years before I had my son. He's 10 now and I show him some prison documentaries to show him what happens. Never been to prison but I know it's no joke much respect
@@MrMagic-nw2tl No one knows this better than me. However, if you take that thought process and apply it to what we call "normal" society, then you may grasp my underlying meaning. 👑
@Crunch Time Maximum security is a prison system set to a certain level of intensity (e.g., Maximum security, Triple Maximum security, etc.). Solitary confinement is the term you are working towards, friend. 👑
@Crunch Time I'm not happy to share this but so am I. I''ll just agree that sh*t is different wherever you go- call it whatever you want, homey. However, incarceration of any kind still equals you minus your freedom. 👑
This was in my recommendations, don't know why but this man drew me in with his compelling story, so articulate and passionate about his life story and God has blessed him to come out alive and well. I pray great things for him in the future. Much Respect bro. Salute!!!
I did 11 years, just minding my business and kept to myself. One Class A ticket and 8 fights. Certain ways you have to move in prison. Started my Art company from prison. I learned a lot while being lock up.
@@ms.faiththomas4372 I’m at my bar and it’s a little hectic tonight and I didn’t even look I just looked at your picture now you are definitely a woman extremely attractive one so I do apologize
I can listen to you and your experience all day. So glad you got your life back. God Bless. You are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your story. Praying that you will continue your positive journey. You learn from your mistakes and move on to bigger and better things. Hugs, Sir. Much respect for you!
Mannnn,, Banky so cool and smooth, I could listen to him all night on audio book and sleep restful.... You one cool cat, Banky. Hope you stick around to keep sharing your stories...😎👍
Break it down to the public my brother I did 13 years straight and I saw a lot that most people out here couldn’t understand. Some times the COs poke the bear and the quiet bears are the ones that will hurt the most.
Bank is a very wise humble man. He should be a motivational speaker, or be a social worker with people that are in and out of the system. Much Respect O.G. Banky!

Yeah.. it's their own actions that make them suffer in these ugly buildings called prisons. Just get a random job if you're not highly educated, but make a way to earn money without these dreaded consequences. And also stay away from fools who have crime as their lifestyle. Find better people to hang around with.
8:35 that’s because they don’t think it can and will happen to them. So they take charges , believing that they are the baddest of the bad, and as such they end up on the wrong side of the law.
Banky, May God continue to bless you. Thank you for sharing your life HIStory with the world. Let God use you to save our young men who take life for granted daily. God Bless & Shalom
15:20 but still some will still end up there ,and not all will survive. Young folk, heed the warning and love yourself enough to keep yourself out of the prison system. Make better choices for your own life.
I believe once a man does his time he is deserved a second chance at life,work and fulfilling his or her dreams!!!. Thank you very much Sir for sharing your story,best wishes in the future & May God Richley Bless You And Your Future!
I’d love to see Joe draw a cartoon of Banky and the 80 year old crazy white dude with the faded black belt... loved hearing these stories. I’m so glad Banky makes sure that he let’s kids know that prison isn’t cool or the place to go.
Tay I love Darnell and his positive energy. But here is the thing with children, I know this because I have 3, 2 young adults and 1 teenager. And sometimes they don’t listen to mom’s and pop’s. But they may listen to someone who is living a positive life but went through a lot. Kids are funny like that. I remember being the same way. Now as an adult, I realize how smart my parents were. But when I was a teenager and young adult, I didn’t think they understood me. But what is wrong with a person who wants to make amends for something terrible they did in their life? Nobody is perfect, so do you want people to only judge you for the worst thing you did in life? Someone like Banky can help kids learn they can pick a different path. That they don’t have to go the path he went. Banky made some horrible choices, and he paid a steep price. But what if he got through to just 10 kids. And those 10 kids got through to 10 kids. And on and on... With Darnell, his story is about police abuse, racism, and tragedy. There is no reason that it should take that long to test DNA! I know of several cases where men are on death row. They have DNA that remains untested. And they will most likely be murdered by the state. And the DNA never tested. And the DA is fighting and blocking for the DNA to be tested. Now that is what is wrong with our society! And each of these men have set on death row for 20-30 years! I know of other men and women who have been in prison and I have read their cases and they are in prison on flimsy eye witness testimony and on some there is just weak circumstantial evidence. So if you want to harp on what’s wrong with society, try putting the work to help people get their cases heard instead of complaining on a UA-cam channel...🤷🏼♀️
This guy is very articulate and a excellent storyteller...he could have been a professional storyteller it's sad he had to waste that many years in prison
Well then he shouldn’t have done the crime that landed him in prison. Lots of intelligent, articulate, well groomed and well spoken people end up in prison. Hell even wealthy people end up in prison.. if you commit a serious crime and get busted for it then that’s where you go.
However, to some degree this video makes it appears as though you are not a man until you have done time. It's glorified like the gangster life. Prisoners are some of the dumbest ppl on earth like service men and women and church ppl.
@@skyjack8541 Service men aren’t dumb. They are the reason you don’t have to worry about protecting yourself day in and out. They handle the ugly aspects of humanity that most pretend doesn’t exist in order to maintain power and order. My husband is a cop and they as well handle the harshness of the reality that most are too cowardly to deal with. Women aren’t dumb in fact you wouldn’t be here without a woman sacrificing her body, when she could’ve aborted you.
I remember when Banky said that he never had issues with violence but it took him awhile to understand kindness. Some of the things he says and how he words it sinks in deep. Have a great day everyone. Peace

He survived because he is a real observant, emotionally intelligent being.
I agree he's very intelligent logical and disciplined not emotional.
@ Akina Helaire... and of course you know all about that prison life, huh? Tell us some more, Akina.... school us on that hard knoxs life!
I think that's one way to survive in prison is to observe your surroundings
This is a very intellect individual. He got thru prison by intellect and common sense.
Orrr..
He coulda survived by being a "Woman" in prison.... The smooth baby face with ZERO scars is a TELLTALE sign

This show is amazing and it shows that these men can be rehabilitated and not by the prison, but from their own wanting of a change and chance of survival when they get out. Thank you for making this show and opening my eyes and knowing that there is hope for these people and they are not institutionalised. Amen and God Bless you all.
Banky's the dude, man. You can tell the narrative is genuine and it makes sense even if you've never been in prison. This was a real professional-feel vid. Props to Joe and Banky. Thanks, Bros.
Banky, anyone with common sense listening to these stories & your wisdom should heed,& think twice.💯✊🏾❤️👍🏾🙏🏾🇺🇸
23:22 💯💯💯keep dropping those💣💣💣💣and maybe at least one person will take heed to what you’re saying.🤷🏾♀️🤦🏽♀️we can only hope.I loved hearing your story and your voice was compelling.Let it be so,for the people who are just getting started in a career of prison life.
I don't know who this gentleman is or what he did, but GOD has allowed him to obtain so much wisdom and discernment during those 33 years. I could listen to him talk all day. As a matter of fact, he needs to do a TED Talk, and most definitely speak at middle and high schools to help these young people who are heading or contemplating heading down the wrong path. I can only imagine the full depth of what he's seen and experienced as he's giving us the "nice" version of his experiences over the past 33 years. I pray that the rest of his days are fruitful and blessed IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!!!
Dawn you have points.
Imagine being a woman who WANTS to work at a male prison. I'll take my chances mopping the ocean
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤔😢😢
@Mr. ParkPlace757 VA or maybe they have bills
Mopping the ocean 🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I bet most do it for the male attention and to think there some badass
RealTalK....
This is an incredible man. Not sure why he went to prison but I can see he was raised well. He can also deliver a humble, direct, real, and meaningful delivery; he is captivating and you want to hear what he has to say. I hope he uses this gift and speaks to all young kids. 💙🙏🏼💙
Child crime
Prison can actually change people for the better
I truly enjoyed listening to Banky. He has great screen presence and such a great story teller. I could listen to him for hours. He should definitely have his own channel. I hope you show more of him! He seems to be a real chill dude. Real laid back and down to earth.
Banky Pound is a real channel 👏🏽
Joe, the things you do with this channel is amazing. You are a true inspiration to anyone who feels hopeless not just former prisoners. Today's world makes it hard to keep your head up and people like you make us believe we can.
my sons been locked up for 5 years, 4 to go, it's like I'm locked up with him. my heart goes out to all prisoners except child molesters and murderers.
I hope he is doing well
So murders are justified
@@breezydont I'm pretty sure the original commenter said except murderers.
And arm robbers. Domestic abusers and violent assaults. Everyone deserves a second chance
A man that has reached such extremes...and comes back..with ...such dignity
Is a real man...Sir you have my total respect....bravissimo..
Every time I think of doing something bad I come an watch these videos an Immediately change my mind
Yes please keep watching and prayer or meditation helps.
It's so not worth it. If you think you want to do something bad that will make you feel better in the moment just think how awful you will feel in prison. I guarantee it feels a Million times worse than how you feel when you get to the point of wanting to commit a crime. If it's a situation with money, revenge, whatever. Prison will make your emotions worse. You will be treated as a non human. There's noone that cares about you in there and whatever problems you have. Stay free
Most Intelligent Comment I've Seen on Social Media.More Your Chosen Higher Power Continue to Bless Keep and Protect You and Your Family and Friends.Love& Peace 😎 😁 luv ya byo eJ
Good fight temptation
YOUR NOT THE GUY THAT PLAYED " EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS"? ARE YOU???🤔🤔🤔
Banky has that rare CEO, Boss presence. One Love Banky, Do your thing free man. You have a lot to say people need to hear.
You are doing a great deed for these youngsters. Not glorifying prison like some other channels. But speaking in a way that is discouraging these youngsters from going to prison. And teaching lessons. That's solid right there.
Omg! I am in complete awe of this humble man! I don't know what happened to get you in prison for so long. Your life story would be something to go out and talk to everyone at any age. You got through it and came out of it as one of the most humble and wise heart and soul I have ever listened to! God bless you Banky! I pray that people are actually listening to you . 🤗
he beat a 91 year old man to death.
This cat went to prison 3-years before I joined the Army, and was released 6-months after I retired...holy piss.
Would you change places with him?
Kenneth Scott .. that’s the stupidest thing I’ve heard in a long time.
@@user-wm2tw it's many Banky' in this world
Kenneth Scott .. yes. They know how to bs and come across as nice people but behind that facade is a killer who killed people and destroyed families.
Howard Pryor .. they are not boy scouts. They will kill if it benefited them.
Am happy for this man he is free physically spiritually and mentally
So glad you made it out brother. My husband spent 17 and he was lucky to get that. He was behind the wall for 80% of that time so I hear these crazy ass stories every day lol. But I am so glad so see you well and don't have any scars on ur face haha. Let these young ones know what it is and pray they listen cuz we learn in this life through our experience. If your words can reach someone, thats a beautiful thing. Stay blessed.
You a real lne
No way would I ever knowingly associate with anyone who has been in prison, let alone MARRY one. Some people have stupid guts.
thought he was Russell Simmons for second
Yeah I did too. In the thumbnail 😆
ha! ha! ha!.....so did I!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Fa real ha!!!
He kind of look like him
Me too
The whole gettin almost killed thing reminds me of my buddy. He served 12 years in prison. But anyways, he saw some dude beating his girl so he got in between them and punched the dude on the face, the girl bleeding got up and started hitting my friend yelling for him to get off of him and mind his own business... the world is fucked...
Yeah shits messed up. Sounds to me like the girl probably had Stockholm syndrome. Hate the abuse love the abuser.
@@jman7287 exactly.
@@jman7287 I just want y'all to know, just like Banky said. You don't know their situation. You helping her now could kill her later. Just keep that in mind.
Because anybody can get beat. It doesn't discriminate. What you see is an attack on a weaker women, but in their situation they think the should slap someone
Because most of the time when women get hit they’ve done something to deserve it
DAMMMMM BANKY IS FINE AS HELL!!!! IT'S SAD THAT HE WAS IN PRISON FOR SOOOO MANY YEARS!!! I HOPE HE CAN ENJOY THE REST OF HIS LIFE NOW....HE TALK WITH SO MUCH ELEQUENCE AND KNOWLEDGE WITH MUCH RESPECT!!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
‼️‼️ ABSOLUTELY ‼️‼️ SO MUCH WISDOM AND STRENGTH ‼️‼️
STAY BLESSED ALWAYS BANKY‼️‼️
SENDING U LOTS OF LOVE ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
AND PRAYERS 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽‼️
Mad respect and big props to u bro for staying loyal to ur cause no better way than to gov back to the younger men out there
Oh yes he’s cool handsome
@Lisa Lopes I’m sure he has some Ladies
Yes mam indeed
That second female CO deserved it. Someone else would have stomped her.
This brother has a lot of knowledge that would stop a lot of young men from going into prison. They would change their thoughts on committing a crime, instead think to get a job or enroll in school. Positive thinking.
One of the hardest things to do is control ur Emotions....
AMEN 🙏
So true
Prophet Muhammad said the best among men is the one who can control his emotions.
This guy is sharp smart guy good hearing from him
I was wrapped up in the drug game for years before I had my son. He's 10 now and I show him some prison documentaries to show him what happens. Never been to prison but I know it's no joke much respect
You got lucky, 10 year in and no jail time ? Don’t ever go back keep your son out as well and stay blessed bro !
The part when he starts talking about getting "locked up" after already being in prison...institutionalism is real. 👑
Lock up solitary confinement is being locked up in jail
@@MrMagic-nw2tl No one knows this better than me. However, if you take that thought process and apply it to what we call "normal" society, then you may grasp my underlying meaning. 👑
@Crunch Time Maximum security is a prison system set to a certain level of intensity (e.g., Maximum security, Triple Maximum security, etc.). Solitary confinement is the term you are working towards, friend. 👑
@Crunch Time I'm not happy to share this but so am I. I''ll just agree that sh*t is different wherever you go- call it whatever you want, homey. However, incarceration of any kind still equals you minus your freedom. 👑
@Crunch Time I'm glad you made it out with YOU still intact, family.👑
33 years that's a Retirement on a Job
Ooh yessss
YESSAH PRAYFULLLY HE RETIRED FROM CRIME
I'm 33
Lol
Lol...he looks like he's related to Russell Simmons
Very true
Lmmmmaaooo
I totally thought it was him. Took me a minute to hear him speak. Lol
Yes🙌
You are absolutely right.
This was in my recommendations, don't know why but this man drew me in with his compelling story, so articulate and passionate about his life story and God has blessed him to come out alive and well. I pray great things for him in the future. Much Respect bro. Salute!!!
Great stories! I love hearing Banky tell stories. Good and bad. And that he has such a positive attitude and outlook now. Good stuff.
MAN LEARN FROM HIS MISTAKES, BUT A WISE MAN LEARN FROM THE MISTAKE OF OTHERS...💯✊🏿
8:11 Amen to that!
I love how he speaks on getting "locked up" & "going to jail" when he's already in prison.
Should think about getting himself a camera and a UA-cam account. People would enjoy hearing his stories.
Yesssssss indeed. I know I would. 🖤🙏🏾
He does. "Banky Pound" is his channel
I'll second that. :)
I did 11 years, just minding my business and kept to myself. One Class A ticket and 8 fights. Certain ways you have to move in prison. Started my Art company from prison. I learned a lot while being lock up.
Continue to be better and show these youths that these streets ain’t it SALUTE

Praying that you will continue your positive journey. You learn from your mistakes and move on to bigger and better things. Hugs, Sir. Much respect for you!
Mannnn,, Banky so cool and smooth, I could listen to him all night on audio book and sleep restful.... You one cool cat, Banky. Hope you stick around to keep sharing your stories...😎👍
OG OG triple double! He just tell his stories , no capping at all !!!
Break it down to the public my brother I did 13 years straight and I saw a lot that most people out here couldn’t understand. Some times the COs poke the bear and the quiet bears are the ones that will hurt the most.
I can’t ever get enough Banky content.
I can’t believe 30 minutes went by that fast
Banky is a very good speaker. I think he would be an excellent motivation speaker. Much love to you bro.
Bank is a very wise humble man. He should be a motivational speaker, or be a social worker with people that are in and out of the system. Much Respect O.G. Banky!
Make the videos longer with Banky. I could listen to him all day!
God Bless You for your openness because this generation definitely needs to hear your story.. 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
18 cellies in two weeks??
Man, everybody gangsta until the old man puts his boots on...
That old man probably couldn't fight his way out of a wet papper bag any more, but there is no respect for hitting old heads
@@nimbysep7602 if an oldhead hitting me I'm for sure hitting back. Fuck that...
@@macmike8329 fighting back after being hit is one thing to strike the first blow cause he is egging you on is another. I bet Pops had it down to a science of provoking but not taking the bait himself.

It’s sad how many young men don’t realize what they getting themselves into
Yeah..
it's their own actions that make them suffer in these ugly buildings called prisons.
Just get a random job if you're not highly educated, but make a way to earn money without these dreaded consequences.
And also stay away from fools who have crime as their lifestyle. Find better people to hang around with.
Nobody can be prepared for something they never been thru.....young, old, NOBODY
8:35 that’s because they don’t think it can and will happen to them. So they take charges , believing that they are the baddest of the bad, and as such they end up on the wrong side of the law.
He is a real one and 100% right ✅ about the shit he's talking about. Don't ever relax and become too complacent while you are locked up.
Banky, May God continue to bless you. Thank you for sharing your life HIStory with the world. Let God use you to save our young men who take life for granted daily. God Bless & Shalom
AMEN 🙏
Chomo is also called short eyes.
Banky gotta be the easiest interview Joe has done. Ask this man one question and he can talk for 20 minutes. Great interview though
I can listen to this guy all day. Every young criminal oriented kid needs to hear this before it's too late.
15:20 but still some will still end up there ,and not all will survive. Young folk, heed the warning and love yourself enough to keep yourself out of the prison system. Make better choices for your own life.
He's truly humble and made it out
I believe once a man does his time he is deserved a second chance at life,work and fulfilling his or her dreams!!!. Thank you very much Sir for sharing your story,best wishes in the future & May God Richley Bless You And Your Future!
Lord that’s hell on earth 😢😢😢 I hope mentally you are okay. God’s blessings always sir.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼thank you for this video very articulate and informative.
“If you a black belt 🥋 then that belt done faded cuz you are almost 100 years old, you can barely get out of bed”💀 LMAO 😂 that was funny BANKY
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
He's lucky Bank you didn't bust a can of whoop-ass on him..... That would have been his death sentence.... Probably both them..... JJ..
😂😂😂
Banky why dont you and Joe start up a boxing gym for youth. Try to help break the cycle before prison.
This is a good, informative interview. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed his testimony. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I’d love to see Joe draw a cartoon of Banky and the 80 year old crazy white dude with the faded black belt... loved hearing these stories. I’m so glad Banky makes sure that he let’s kids know that prison isn’t cool or the place to go.
Tay I love Darnell and his positive energy. But here is the thing with children, I know this because I have 3, 2 young adults and 1 teenager. And sometimes they don’t listen to mom’s and pop’s. But they may listen to someone who is living a positive life but went through a lot. Kids are funny like that. I remember being the same way. Now as an adult, I realize how smart my parents were. But when I was a teenager and young adult, I didn’t think they understood me. But what is wrong with a person who wants to make amends for something terrible they did in their life? Nobody is perfect, so do you want people to only judge you for the worst thing you did in life? Someone like Banky can help kids learn they can pick a different path. That they don’t have to go the path he went. Banky made some horrible choices, and he paid a steep price. But what if he got through to just 10 kids. And those 10 kids got through to 10 kids. And on and on...
With Darnell, his story is about police abuse, racism, and tragedy. There is no reason that it should take that long to test DNA! I know of several cases where men are on death row. They have DNA that remains untested. And they will most likely be murdered by the state. And the DNA never tested. And the DA is fighting and blocking for the DNA to be tested. Now that is what is wrong with our society! And each of these men have set on death row for 20-30 years! I know of other men and women who have been in prison and I have read their cases and they are in prison on flimsy eye witness testimony and on some there is just weak circumstantial evidence. So if you want to harp on what’s wrong with society, try putting the work to help people get their cases heard instead of complaining on a UA-cam channel...🤷🏼♀️
😂😂
You like BBC
It’s crazy that he got the “black and white” stripes like the old prisoners outfits from old moves. 🧐
Lol good observation!
I know right!😁
Looking like Claude (Martin Lawrence) from the movie LIFE 😂😂
I was thinking the same thing
Wow I wonder if he realized what he was wearing is an old school prison uniform
Seems like a really solid dude. Glad he made it home.
This guy is very articulate and a excellent storyteller...he could have been a professional storyteller it's sad he had to waste that many years in prison
Well then he shouldn’t have done the crime that landed him in prison. Lots of intelligent, articulate, well groomed and well spoken people end up in prison. Hell even wealthy people end up in prison.. if you commit a serious crime and get busted for it then that’s where you go.
Articulate...
@@ms.voicer3214 yeah, that means he can speak fluently and coherently... you must be a simpleton...
@@albp1248articulate.......sigh
@@christinayates2496 wealthy people don't go to prison they go to boot camp with privileges
The demons come out of those cellys when those doors close.
To Banky,, Thank you deeply for your talk on your experience & I take what u say & try to stay grounded. You are truly an inspiration
Handsome and intelligent..his stories are mesmerizing..I could sit and listen to him all day.
However, to some degree this video makes it appears as though you are not a man until you have done time. It's glorified like the gangster life. Prisoners are some of the dumbest ppl on earth like service men and women and church ppl.
@@skyjack8541 Service men aren’t dumb. They are the reason you don’t have to worry about protecting yourself day in and out. They handle the ugly aspects of humanity that most pretend doesn’t exist in order to maintain power and order. My husband is a cop and they as well handle the harshness of the reality that most are too cowardly to deal with. Women aren’t dumb in fact you wouldn’t be here without a woman sacrificing her body, when she could’ve aborted you.
I wish nothing but the best for you Banky , youve been through hell and still manage to stay humble ,big respect!!!
I remember when Banky said that he never had issues with violence but it took him awhile to understand kindness. Some of the things he says and how he words it sinks in deep. Have a great day everyone. Peace
