I taught for 30 years in a high school and a lot of advice you give for prison, teachers would do well to listen to. I tell new teachers to watch everyone carefully, watch the kid’s hands, who they talk to, how they talk to you and most of all, how to build the respect you will need to be an effective, happy and safe teacher surrounded by hundreds of students, some of which are violent, mentally ill and unpredictable. Always watch and keep your mouth shut when you are in a large area like the cafeteria, hallways or isolated areas.

This is probably the best after-prison channel. It's the real deal. Scary stuff for sure. I'm surprised the guards don't do anything about the loud prisoners at night. This country does it all wrong. Prison is supposed to take you out of society for the length of your sentence. That's it. That's supposed to be the punishment. All of this other stuff - the sicko guards, the nightmarish living conditions, the violence, the lack of privacy, the noise, lack of medical care, etc., just ensures that the prisons stay full.
Everything is much worse then I even elaborated. It's a vicious place, a nightmare. Half the time the officers are drunk. They create a great deal of animosity in the prisoners, making them resent the system in general; by denying the prisoners whatever limited rights they have. It's bad.
I miss a lot of stuff about living in NY, like the NYers themselves. They're no nonsense, authentic people and this dude is one of them. He deserves to have this chanel blow up with subscriers and views. Great content and much appreciated!
How very nice of you to speak those words, I sincerely appreciate it. Thank you. I'm working on a video that explains my actual criminal case, what happen to me, and what led up to the life I lived, Stay tuned. 🙂
Thank you Sir, for making these videos. I just found your channel yesterday. Watching them again today has been great therapy listening to someone talk about this the way you do is refreshing. I find most people do not want to discuss it. I good to hear you talk about the same things I experienced.
I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you for this perspective. My husband is currently incarcerated in nys state prison. Doing a 6yr bid. We are halfway through it. 3yrs left. I know that are many things my husband probably thinks about but, doesn't tell me because he doesn't want to worry me. Im going to worry regardless. I make sure to write him, visit,send care packages and just be there to support him emotionally and mentally. It's not easy, but when you love someone you will be there. It takes nothing to write a letter or send a card.
Well I am sorry to hear your husband is locked inside. All he has to do is take things day by day, live correctly in there, do what he has to do, and focus on coming home. That's his job for now. If you guys are half way through then the clock is ticking down down and each day is a day closer to him walking out the doors. I'm glad you visit him, write him and emotionally support him, it makes a difference.
I am so proud of you for being so strong & bearing your past to all the world to see.Your personal life stories really resonate for me as it seems not all but most/many have been through some kind of hellish life encounters, for me I was raped @ 9 yrs young & would have been murdered if a stranger in a approaching car did not appear,40 yrs later living with these painful memories I impaled myself 3 times near my heart on a steakhouse style knife by lowering my body over the knife, but my suicide attempt seems was not to be, Divine intervention?, Every day is a struggle as I imagine it is for you but we both survived. I believe your channel & candor will help heal your wounds & may prevent other's the trauma you bear today.Every day I strive to live right & help other's regardless if they advise me they don't need help as we both can easily see who truly need's help. TTFN survivor! RR
Thank you so much for expressing yourself and thank you for your words. My story has similar things. At the same age I was sexually abused by a man who lived near the park I played. I blocked it out for years, not knowing that subconsciously it made me feel as if I had to prove to the world I was a man, and prove to myself I was a man. The problem was I had no man to turn to. My father left when I was four and never looked back. So I turned to drugs which hid the pain and embarrassment, and helped me fit in with the crowd who I thought were men. They were the fighters in the neighborhood, the dealers, the users, and I thought they were men. I copied them, became craizer then them all because I felt I had to prove myself after the abuse. The cycle continued because I didn't know why I was doing the things I was doing. What teenager psychologically evaluates himself? Most adults don't. The abuse led me into a life of destruction. It's not an excuse, it's the reality of what happen to me. I'll be posting a video of what happen to me in soon time, explaining my story. I still struggle even today. I'm most likely moving out of my house tomorrow, my marriage coming to an end, no where to go, nobody will hire me because of my history, but I'll figure it out somehow, somehow find a way. When the door is closed we must find a way through it, over it, under it, and at times its easier said then done, but what choice do we have my friend but to keep going.
@@22CONSERVATIVEFELON Merry Christmas J L, Your reply might as well been mine, My problem was I had no man to turn to.either.The man I turned to raped me. My father left when I was nine and he never looked back, called rarely & was shitfaced when he did, his words were beyond slurred which made me livid.He likely was feeling guilty for abandoning me & my Mum leaving us on welfare & Municipal Housing.No dental coverage so when I lost my 4 front teeth the dentist payed for a partial plate. I was mortified going to grade school as a result.Bullied upon returning to Canada from Australia after 7 yrs,left all my friends in OZ & was teased mercifully due to my accent.Dad was alcoholic & beat me so badly as his dad did. I would take you in but just like you my marriage is coming to an end after 40 yrs & the house will be sold.We are both survivors & you will & must find a way.Remember when doors close you have to go thru doors not of your choice to find the best door for yourself.Keep strong as I see your inner strength & conviction in your persona,sorry about the juridical reference.Look forward to future videos of which is the best prison channel.No other channel like your's has so much praise & positive comments & your response rate to viewers posting is near 100%!

respect is not earned, it is given, it's a courtesy. simply because you don't know who i am or you think im weak, doesnt give you the right to disrespect me.
Respect is something you earn, I disagree with you. Common courtesy is something that should be given to everyone by everyone, like saying "excuse me, pardon me, God bless you" but respect, you have to earn that by doing something that warrants respect. If 'respect' is not earned, then you respect someone that rapes children? Do you respect the district attorney that fabricates evidence to put someone in prison?
@@22CONSERVATIVEFELON it seems like we have different definitions of respect. for me respect is basic consideration. love your enemy and things like that. for you it seems more like admiration.
@@black-cross I think the definitions of respect and basic consideration or common courtesy are two different things, but it's not that important. I understand your view, seriously, I do. I don't believe in this scenario it matters much anyway because I think we both believe 'respect or common courtesy' should be shown to people as we encounter them in society, that we should be gentleman-like always and carry ourselves properly
I came across your channel in my feed and I'm finding your stories fascinating. One thing I found interesting is how the inmates segregate themselves. I grew up like you with all different ethnicities which is fairly normal in the US.
Thanks for watching, I'll be putting some more videos together after the holiday. Yes, the segregation inside is just the way it is, and the administration prefers it that way. If all the prisoners stuck together the prison would have a major problem on their hands. All states run different. New York is a more liberal state, so the different races do talk to each other, do some activities together. In states like Florida not so much. What's surprising is that in a state such as California, such a liberal state, the prison system is not. They are extremely segregated by race, by gangs, etc. I'm just glad to be out of there!
I'm new to your channel...... you seem to be more honest than some of the others I've seen....... the others don't seem to describe the horror as well....p.s. I was a hostage once ...... it was horrible...had a 9mm at my head........ took a LONG time to get through it...... I am a better person as a result...... but always interested in convicts........ and not in an angry way........ I would really like to find the guy who held me and thank him for making me a better person....... I hated him for awhile......... but now........I appreciate the little things........ and I am betting you have a similar approach to life as well...... appreciation of what you have is a remarkable feeling........ I bet you enjoy the little things in a way you never did....... for me, sometimes, I think I am soo lucky to be alive who cares....... about the little BS........
Thank you for your words, sorry you lived through what you did, but as you mentioned, glad it made you a better person as you explained. Prison changed me in many ways, good and bad. I suffer in many areas all these years later, but there are things I appreciate more of course.
Well, that was among the most terrifying and heartfelt talks I’ve ever heard online. You place in sharp relief the so-called prison channels where ex-gang members - who dropped out and were sent to special needs yards - boast of their “authority” and decision-making capabilities inside the walls on behalf of “big homies” serving life terms. What a bunch of fakes. Despite talking big, they were plainly as frightened and deeply depressed as everyone else in there.
I witnessed this countless times. I was in serious prisons such as Sing Sing and Attica, places where men go to die, where they spend the rest of their lives. When they come home they talk about how they "were running shit" when in reality they just knew how to act. The dangerous guys were the quiet ones, the ones you never expected.
Appreciate your kind words. I'm working on another video and hopefully get it out by tonight or tomorrow. If you were referring to yourself, about possibly going into prison because you 'had to do what you had to do' regarding someone abusing your daughter, my advice to you is don't do it. Just imagine yourself in prison unable to defend, protect or take care of your daughter at all, because you would be trapped, powerless, useless. That's what men are in prison. I know that anger, pride, loyalty all comes into play with protecting your family, but there are other ways. My crime was murder, except that night, my intention was to go punch this guy in the face because he robbed a business in my neighborhood. That was my intention. Things went downhill fast, like real fast, and the next thing you know I was standing over a dead body! It wasn't my intention, not my plan, but when we take things into our own hands, things don't always work out as planned. If it is you you are speaking about, breath, be there to comfort your daughter.
I thought of it all the time, most men do behind bars but it's not simple. I almost got out of Rikers Island but somebody ratted me out before I could make it happen!
I did 17 years 8 months straight. My crime was a murder as I mentioned in several of my videos. I have a new video coming out shortly which will elaborate on my case, the court proceedings, etc.
Glad you watched my video, and yep, this dude's facecloth was SO NASTY it is beyond words! He would come into the call everyday and wash his face with that thing! I remember after I flushed it down the toilet he was looking for it, "Yo Fish, you see my facecloth anywhere?" "Nope" was my answer. I was grateful when they finally moved me into my own cell!
I want to thank you for your humble stories about how real prison is.
