    For some reason I can't get enough of these Pelican Bay / SHU stories. The reality in there could not be further from my own situation living here in Finland, one the safest countries in the world. Even though there is nothing glorious in living a criminal lifestyle, you still have to admire the dudes who sat in the SHU for decades without breaking, while running a huge criminal enterprise. There really is something to learn there, even for a square like me. Keep doing what you're doing Dubs, you are an inspiration!

      I’m the same bro. I’m in England and find how Cali prison is fascinating, especially in comparison to uk prison. I did a bit of uk prison a long time ago so the only difference is I can roll down a hill as I’m not a square 😂🤣😂. Respect dude.

      @@truthwarrior2149 you really think that??? There is always something to be learned, each and every day is a school day if you’re willing to take it onboard. Just from this video there’s things to be learned to improve yourself. Respect is something that’s lacking in the world currently, which leads to thinking before you speak which is something I’ve worked on since watching these vids. Learning about yourself and how to use your mind to get through things instead of letting them ruin your life. Teaching yourself in a variety of ways to improve yourself and your life, which will make your family life better is a great message if you’re open to hearing it bud.

      @@Mikeyscaff1111 yes they do have tread skills courses in Prisons that you can learn and plenty of book's for people to read while doing down time. It's up to them to either learn something or stay in the mix inside of the wall's. If a person knows he has a due date to get out, that's when they should be getting in all the courses they can to be better prepared so when they get out they can get a job/career.
      I know many that did prison time and got out and started there own business or worked for a business and climb the later for a good living.
      Just when you get out you have to change your ways and don't go right back to the same Ol places that got into prison in the first place.

    I wish Rogan would have you on his show. California prison is unique and special compared to anywhere else in the US and the nuances and complications make for some very compelling and fascinating stories. A legit expert, especially one as well spoken as yourself would be exactly what he would need.

    I have two good friends that write me from pelican bay. One is doing 12 and the other, 75. They don't know eachother, but i noticed something alike in both of their letters as time passed. The feel of Their letters have become very monotone. Its as if you could see how that place is slowly draining the life out of them in real time with every letter. Its not that they complain either, because they don't. But you can feel something sad and hopless in their voice through those letters. God be with those men, Seems like a terrible place.

You learn to choose your words wisely because everything is scrutinized. Grateful for that experience. Orale pues.

    • @LordOfThePancakes
      @LordOfThePancakes 9 місяців тому

      Yet ppl who do go through it, seemingly can also not understand. Because it’s not actually respect, it’s fear. Like anything it’s probably a little of both, but I’d argue it’s mostly fear, perhaps a little of both. But I’d argue it’s much more due to fear than respect. The silence being evidence of that.

    Another great video Dubs,I’ve watched nearly your whole catalogue in last 2 months and have enjoyed and learnt a bit from each.What I don’t think you’ve done one on is when someone is hit because he’s done something wrong e.g debt of some sort stepped out of line but did not run patched himself up in his cell like you’ve said you should do how is he accepted back? Who tells him why? Are there men on the yard who have had that experience but still rised to become someone respected? And last of all with all these pokings stabbings Holy Shit there must be some horrific scars out on the yard and are you wary of someone who carries those scars when you meet for 1st time?

    I won't say I enjoyed it but hearing about that held my interest all the way to the end. It's wiwrd , I've never been to pelican bay but I have experienced blank walls, sensory deprivation they call it, feeling like your underground, isolated and for me at the start it was fear inducing, and then reaching a kind of peace with it, reading, exercising, getting comfortable with the route. It does mess with your head though. Going from that level of sensory deprivation and solitude to being kicked out onto a prison yard much less being released from that type of environment I've felt like I was going mad. All the noise and people around you. Straight out tripping. I wander what that feels like for other people. Maybe it's ju......fuck it. I don't know why I'm still drawn to hearing this stuff. Good video anyway

    Good work. You did a vid a while back, sitting in your car in the morning. Was a good change, edgy. You were a bit tired, a bit more negative than usual, but it was a whole different feel. Do that again. You were a bit distracted and speaking slow so maybe take some notes to keep the speed up. Wes' vids outside got a lot of views, replicate that, go sit somewhere sit on a bench in a park or a with a wall with graffiti on in the background. I know this seems lame but it will get views. We sit and watch and having scenery adds to the video experience. Sitting in your house is good, has a very academic feel, detailed, but with the flannel and sunglasses it has a gangster vibe.
