All I want to say is, a real man does whatever he can to get back to, and support his family. The idea that a homie is no good because he drops out to be with his family is low expectations garbage. Bless this man.
Nah bro why did he join to begin with? You're gonna debrief and sell out everyone you worked with so you can finally reconnect with your already teenage child? That's a punk plain and simple. If he wanted to be a dad, he should of considered that before learning the secrets of an organization and enjoying its benefits and protections
@@louiehunter6490 People change, they also see how that gang doesn’t actually have your back like they said. If they turn out to not be loyal to you, than it’s time to stop being loyal to them. That disloyalty, greed, politicking against you, and not at all being the honorable group they promise they are at first… those are the only “secrets” people learn in prison. All that other sht the authorities already know about. Especially since the high command a lot of times are cooperating themselves. People usually join when they still a kid.. so “they should have thought about that” doesn’t mean anything. When young, you don’t know any better.
I met Chris while working in Aliso Viejo. He was an electrical contractor I believe. Super cool and humble guy. We spoke briefly about his book and I bought a copy. It’s definitely worth a read a real page turner.
Chad Marks, JD Delay and Ian Bick the top 3 prison content people on UA-cam in my opinion. In that order they’re all a little bit different I like how these three help each other out too.
This dude seems like the real deal. Owns his mistakes and manned the fuck up. Glad he’s figuring shit out and doing well. Good luck with your boy and your life never say die 🤘
2:48 he's 100% correct. There is a dire need for tradesmen in our country. They should be teaching it in prison so that when they get out they have a honest living, high paying jobs. Plumbers, electricians, and HVAC are all high paying jobs. They should also be teaching these in school again. In Florida, high schools had academies you'd pick to learn starting in 10th grade. I did nursing. They had Agricultural, mechanics, business and so on. Both my husband (HVAC) and I graduated with a certification in our fields. So when we got out we could go get jobs. By the time my husband was 25. He was the youngest state licensed HVAC contractor and business owner. Now at 40 he decided to go work for the county working on industrial chilled water systems. You home has 2-7ton AC. He works on 300-600-ton systems. His next 25 years to retire is a BREEZE!
I did time in a UK prison and did a plumbing course in there. I got locked up at 18 and I got out at 21 and got a plumbing job straight away. Then started my own plumbing business a few years after. I’m 43 now and it changed my life not just keeping me busy and out of trouble but I’ve earned a good living from it. My family doesn’t want for anything. My son has just completed University and started a good job setting up sound systems and visuals at music and sporting events. He was at Wembley stadium last month setting up everything for the Anthony Joshua fight. My daughter has just started her last year at school and wants to be a nurse. None of this would have happened if I didn’t do that plumbing course. The crazy thing is I only did it originally to get out my cell but I ended up enjoying it.
Recovery got me off drugs and out of prisons revolving door 24 years ago. Don’t get it twisted, Recovery ain’t for chumps either. I also became a part of Americas workforce as a Union Carpenter
Yo Ian love the show watch all episodes but these episodes would be way better if the camera was facing the person getting interviewed. The side angle kinda sucks
Ive been off parole going on 8 years. Was on and off since cya as a youth. My experience is that the three strikes law targeted the lower class. If you have money in california, you don’t do near as much time as a poor person with a public defender. Its crazy how many people never had a chance because of there social status…..
It’s crazy cuz when I got kicked out of my house I ended up in Anaheim , I’m Iraqi but I got along with white boys, blacks and Mexicans . I used to sell weed outside of Disneyland
This is how you "alpha male" he's giving positive energy out while talking about his prison experience and the emotion is hella real. He makes guys like Wes Watson look even more pathetic than he already was.
Unfortunately with how the algorithm is, you gotta use sht that'll catch people's eye to click. Drop out or not means nothing to me. I'm homies with some guys that left SAW and SAC and would trust them with my life. They were just sick of being used as a pawn like most gangs do with people. Much respect bro, glad your doing good my man.
@@octhedarksideglad U made it out bro. Always good seeing another ex con get out and make a good life for them self 👊🏼💯 all the best man. Love from Australia
I was in county jail with a guy name taz that got life and was napping out an escape in San Diego county jail he tired to get me to help him I wonder if it’s the same guy that’s a trip the time line matches
So he got robbed while trying to deliver drugs and retaliated on a woman that had nothing to do with it, but did absolutely nothing to the men that actually robbed him? Im hoping that I misunderstood what he said because that's insane.
From my understanding she was probably part of setting it up talking her bf into it. Unfortunately I've been in the game before and know how sht goes lol
Man the story with your parents and the decisions you made sound like my story, except im from the SFV . Got into the street life and didnt know there was a great God named Jesus and he picked me up and set my feet on solid rock.
33:42 You're part of A/the woodpile guy, just admit it. It sucks but that's the decision you made at one point. Likely under duress but you still made it
Ain't no different than praying to Jesus, Jehovah, Yahweh, Allah, Vishnu, or any other fictional all knowing being that nobody has ever seen talked to or for that matter have to die in order to interact with which is awfully convenient for the ones pushing the narrative since no one has come back from death
a guy had got life for stealing a slice of pizza in the 90 go google it in California but it got over turned wen the law changes that case was one of the cases that impact them to change the law
@shooz4unme i parole GP in good standing but chose to live an inactive life out here and take care of my family. Why do you mf always got something negative to say? If you’re so fu#%en active why aren’t you in prison, you’re sitting on your phone talking shit, he’s probably put in more work that you could ever do STFU
Your mistaken.. sex offenders were not allowed to walk at fci Florence. I just barely got out. Make sure you know what you’re speaking on before you say shit man.
I'm an electrician Myself and every company that I've worked for did a background check 1000% I had to get married and take my ex wife's last name to Even come close to being able to get a job, ya u can get electric job with a back round sure but u aren't going to make any normal electricians pay.
Maybe smaller companies would hire. I’m not an electrician, but have been around in quite a few trades. If you are a great employee, dependable, and make a company money while making the managements job easier, they don’t care about your past. As long if it’s in your past. Good employees are hard to find. Prove yourself and you’ll advance up the ladder quickly.
@dwightchaos9449 and that's my point of the company do/not doing a background check the small companies that DON'T do background checks your not going to get normal electricians pay cuz they hire felon's on purpose any company that does background checks the quality of it's employees are going to be like night and day.. vs the company that does background check.. I'm a proud ex-con myself its just people judging other people..

Thank you for another great interview Ian:))
Thank YOU for supporting
Poor guy’s dad got him geeked out on blow when he was a kid.
My mom did the same when I was cigarettes at 13 an pot an then meth at 15
That's really sad. I'm glad this man fixed it and is still with us. Drugs are a terrible thing.
Dope interview. This one’s a good one, up there with Billy Johnson’s interview.
Glad to hear!!
This is a great one!
Thank you!!
Chris & Ian .... Great Job ...Absolutely Fantastic Episode
Thank you so much
The steam plant hooks
the kettles to heat the
food for the prison. The
thermo fluid plant heats
the laundry and the HVac
keeps everything cool
I’m mad that this channel does have 1 subs it very professional and deserves it
It’s got WAY more than 1 sub? Did you mean 1 mill?
Fuck: thinking about my daughter not knowing me, while I rot in prison, watching her grow up is debilitating.
Big facts. I would feel like such a pos.
High Desert! I live right next to it. It's very fascinating!! Love this interview '
We love the nerd man w tattoos❤❤
He's like your hot girlfriends brother. Just nerdy and annoying but smart AF and cool to be around. Can't help but love the guy.
Yay I hit the like
Do more interviews with cali guys I am from Florida and I’ll admit cali state prison are way harder than southern state pens
I need that book
OMG my heart breaks for you!
This dude seems like the real deal. Owns his mistakes and manned the fuck up. Glad he’s figuring shit out and doing well. Good luck with your boy and your life never say die 🤘
Ian please the prison accronyms. most of us have not been to prison.
this ain't for you
Get this man a glass of water. Him constantly clearing his throat is distracting. Otherwise great episode.
There's places outside of High Desert. Susanville for one. A nice size city.
Wes Watson is a huge dork.
He let me pay him 40,000 to tell me he's rich,ripped, an rare i say I goy my moneys worth an then some
I'm shocked that this guy became an electrician
Lmao
180 there are 3 sections. A,B,C. In the SHU there are pods. A,B,c,d,e,f

So he got robbed while trying to deliver drugs and retaliated on a woman that had nothing to do with it, but did absolutely nothing to the men that actually robbed him? Im hoping that I misunderstood what he said because that's insane.
The black chick who owned the car that was burned was the g/f of the guy who robbed him
From my understanding she was probably part of setting it up talking her bf into it. Unfortunately I've been in the game before and know how sht goes lol
I have a feeling he is a bit racist.
As you stated, you have no idea what the actual situation was or even if you actually understood what he was saying. So why post this negative crap
Man the story with your parents and the decisions you made sound like my story, except im from the SFV . Got into the street life and didnt know there was a great God named Jesus and he picked me up and set my feet on solid rock.
Need the w# on here got a crazy story

For real? I couldn't find the story anywhere
Stop telling lies about people. What is wrong with you.
24:07 can anyone elaborate on what he means by “pizza” it’s not what it sounds like right?… if so that’s odd
Why is that odd? It is slang for highly illegal and despicable materials.
a guy had got life for stealing a slice of pizza in the 90 go google it in California but it got over turned wen the law changes that case was one of the cases that impact them to change the law
They were giving people life for stealing pizza, among other petty crimes
@@octhedarkside He said in possession of pizza, that is common parlance for ch0m0 material. If it was a pizza thief, why not just say 3 striker?
I’m guessing 3rd strike or a lot of priors. Maybe with a threat of violence.
SNY YARDS..means you're no good as far as gang goes. He was never about that game life. He shouldn't have ever joined.
