50 Years in Prison at age 17: Last Day Behind Bars Documentary
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 січ 2023
- Levi had been sentenced to 50 years in prison in 2012 at age 17 after he and three friends decided to enter a home they believed was unoccupied in order to burglarize the house. Levi was outside the house at the time of the burglary.
The homeowner, who was asleep upstairs, interrupted the burglary and shot and killed one of boy's inside the house.
Even though Levi was outside at the time, he and the three other boys were all charged with murder in the death of their friend, even though they didn't pull the trigger that killed him. However, since the death happened during the course of a burglary, they were charged with Felony Murder.
Eventually, Levi and one other boy appealed their cases because they believed the felony murder statute was improperly applied and their sentences were inappropriate.
Levi separately appealed his conviction of the murder charge arguing he wasn't in the house when Johnson was killed.
In September 2014, the Indiana Court of Appeals upheld the convictions.
Levi's sentence was modified to an executed term of 45 years. However, in September 2015, the Indiana Supreme Court granted a transfer and vacated the Court of Appeals' opinion and overturned the murder conviction. The court ruled that in this case, the suspects were unarmed and none of the defendants engaged in violent or threatening conduct. There was nothing in their conduct that would "clearly mediate or immediate cause" of their friend's death, according to the court.
Because of this, the court found there was sufficient evidence to maintain a conviction on burglary charges, but not on the murder charge. The murder charge was reversed for Levi and the two other boys.
In this interview from 2016, Calamari cameras were with Miles and Levi on the day Levi was being released from prison after serving 4 years behind bars. During the interview, the young men talk about life in adult prison, and Levi credits Miles for helping him better himself during his time inside. Levi talks about Miles's commitment to education, and helping Levi understand the importance of education, too. Miles also discusses what it's like watching other cellmates be released from prison while he still faces so many years ahead.
At the end of the video, we walk with Levi as he packs all his things and walks through the prison yard to the back gates to finally reunite with his family after 5 years behind bars.
Together, both young men are an inspirational example of perseverance and determination during the darkest of times.
Update: We are told Levi is doing well and continues to keep in touch with Miles.
Miles finally received a sentence modification in 2020 and was transferred to a Work Release facility to serve out one final year of his modified sentence. He was officially freed from all Dept. of Correction custody in December, 2021. He went on to finish his college degree at Holy Cross College and was valedictorian of his class.

As someone whose been released from prison. I cannot explain the feeling of being released. Its surreal, shocking, but most importantly euphoric. The feeling is amazing. The little things, walking into a store, sleeping in a bed, walking down the street. Its mind blowing.
@sonimbetterthanyou - we've watched several young people get released after many years behind bars. It's almost too surreal to imagine what it must be like. We appreciate you sharing your own experience.
When I was 18-23 I used to get arrested a lot and go to jail for months at a time. The longest I did was 87 days and I literally felt like I was in there for years. Everything you described it correct lol. I never did anything crazy just a dumb kid who liked to drink alot
You are loved. Jesus has a life for you. I recommend reading Medjugorje Messages to the world from Mary Jesus Mother.
It helped to heal my wounds. They are posted on UA-cam.
I know that feeling it's amazing
For how long?
I woke up and watched this kid walk out of prison. I watched him with tears in my eyes man. I hope you do the right thing my boy.
@DAisygirl05Jan23 - we are happy to report that Levi continues to do well today! Thank you for watching his story and posting well wishes!
Keep strong 👍
I wish you the best. Please make the best choices to have a happy life. All of us only get 1.
@CalamariProductions I really enjoy your videos, TY!! How is Levi doing now? I hope he's is still doing well... do you know a address, email address that I can write him?
Nobody cried when I went home. I actually learnt not to tell anyone my release date, parole or full time. I've never had convictions overturned so no 'surprise going homes.'
50 years for a robbery? He didn't kill anyone, thats insane.
He’s held responsible for the death of his friend since it would not have happened had they not been burglarizing the home.
my brother did 9 years he was sentenced to 44 as an adult at the age of 15. He got his second chance at life 100% reformed after his HUGE mistake of a crime. pretty much almost the same as Levi's crime. As his sister I can tell you I have never been more proud of a human in my life. He has been out since 2017 and has done HUGE things in life owns a house a car is an architect ( I think or something to do with it making big bucks) He is doing all the correct things in life. These kids can be reformed I am so happy I got to see this Thank You so much for sharing with us.
It’s so good to hear the success, glad for your family. Thanks for sharing
the 50 years a person gets for murder in the USA is overkill. As we can see here, Levi was reformed in less than 4 years. What an unbelievable stupid crime, too. There is no way he should've served any years for murder.
My goodness his poor roommate looked so saddened by this. My heart hurts for that young man. I'm wishing LEVI nothing but the very best.
I read the summary about the Levi’s cellmate, Miles. He was released and went on to graduate valedictorian from college. Thank God!
Omg that makes me so Proud
I can’t believe Levi didn’t hug him or at least shake his hand before he walked out of his cell for the last time! I sure hope they met up again out here! 😮😟
well done Levi stay strong and out of trouble and pay your cell mate a visit he wos good 4 you good luck
His roommate has a great attitude so he should be ok but he'll miss his friend as well. Pen pal time. 🎉 Now he can give him positive vibes like he did for him? Peace to both these cellies.
I get it. I did 36 years upstate at Bedford. Released in 2014 at the age of 58. These last 10 years have been amazing.
But you lost the most important years of your life (your youth).
He has years to live
@@steel90912why would u say some weird shit like that
@@jacksonwillett5001 he did 36 yrs in prison. I don't know what the crime was but if it was murder or manslaughter then he didn't deserve to be released. I believe in a eye for a eye. It's his own fault he was in prison.
@@steel90912 That’s why there is Rubbers on pencil’s we all make mistakes big and small
As a career Corrections Chaplain, I was thrilled to see men reintegrate. Hopefully, they can find employment, finish parole and me a productive citizen. God bless this man.
Having a postive outlook helps ,wish the best for this guy , but the only one who can truly save the soul and change the heart is jesus , when we freely accept by faith him and his complete payement at the cross long ago for our sins and salvation by his precious blood ,and He becomes our Savior and Lord )
How do you know they did , literally they said abunch of bs when they're happy to get released and they want to do everright but after a couple months that feeling wears off and they're back into the crime.
@@juniorr2646 nah they both stayed out of trouble, but good try lol
that's so NOT true. I'm a gal and once was enough for me and now 35 years later I'm good, enjoy life and I'm loved!!@@juniorr2646
Being a chaplain is a hard go. You take all of these mens troubles to your heart and you try to guide them the best you can. You are appreciated. This from a gal whom never went back. I've got a great life now thanks to someone like you!
He was lucky to get a cellmate who had a positive outlook on the terrible situation they both found themselves in. His life could’ve been drastically different had he bunked with someone who only wished to further their education in crime instead of rehabilitation and success. Miles would make a great counselor and should pursue a future in speaking to troubled youth he has a great outlook and understanding of the rehabilitative guidance kids need to be successful.
Happy to report that Miles currently does give speeches now that he’s out. After graduating college-and being class valedictorian!-he is doing wonderful today. We’ll have much more on his updated story in the months ahead. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Sweet
what's Miles time?
@@CalamariProductions speeches about his stretched asshole ?
@@Lena-uh3ky 36 years
It shows how just one person can make a difference in someone’s life and the ripple effect it can have. Miles had a wise and caring mentor, he passed what he learned onto Levi and will to others, they in turn will pass onto families, friends, people they meet in life, and so it goes.
He is wise beyond his years, graduated valedictorian of his class. Thank you for giving him a second chance!
@lx - Yes, Miles, the young man who got 36 years at age 16, was finally released and became valedictorian of his college graduating class. It was such an amazing moment for all of us. He did all the hard work while incarcerated to get to that point in life. We've been honored to document his story over the past 13 years and look forward to bringing everyone an amazing documentary on it all in the months ahead!
there are too many men in yhe USA that should not be there. DAs need to be held accountable for their actions and words@@CalamariProductions
It would be awesome to see a new interview of Levi and Miles today!
@Retirement Fund - thanks for mentioning that. We have several videos of Miles on our channel. A link below will take you to a speech he gave to the National Association of Independent Colleges & Universities last year. Just incredible! ua-cam.com/video/hsYFd9nmsxs/v-deo.html
I bet he's back in prison.
@9983sp every party has a pooper...
13:35 @@CalamariProductions
@lorireeves2432 Not a case of "party pooper" a case of reality of recidivism.
I can feel his joy when he sees the sunrise and just can’t contain himself saying “I’m so happy”
There is no sunrise in Jail?
I hope this young man lives a productive life and learned from his mistakes.
Not likely.
I hope levi can maintain a good life style and stay on the right path
@@ccuellar6212 Welp, him and his cell mate are doing extremely well. No more criminal activities, both graduated out of college, one was Valedictorian, plus he travels the world speaking on juveniles in doc. So they’re doing well.
My brother is incarcerated. So this really hits home. I pray for these young men. They are both very smart and have so much to contribute to society. God bless them❤
@kellypettis1408 - sad to hear about your brother. We wish him well. On a positive note, the two young men in this video, Miles and Levi, are both out of prison now and doing very well. It was a long road with many legal hurdles along the way, but both boys got a second chance and are making the most out of it. Thank you for watching their stories and taking the time to comment.
I hope your brother gets home soon.
Lady Justice got this one right. The light and joy in his eyes were heartwarming.
So happy for Miles too. He's a smart and kind man that can bring so much goodness to this world.
My boys is like your age … I can feel how painful it is to your mom but I am sure she’s proud of you … we are proud of you … very inspiring ! Focus on doing good God bless you to your new journey in life
I can't imagine how his cellmate must be feeling......over 2 years with this guy in a cell the bond would be so strong I feel for them both because the reality will kick in and he will miss his cell mate.
His celly was released aswell
that or maybe he is happy he gets the cell to himself for a little while. hopefully the next guys farts less and doesn't snore
@@e52nreally? praise Jesus
You learn not to get too close with cellies. You'd be lucky to do the whole time with one celly. As soon as you are comfortable the screws move you.
Headlines is definitely misleading.. he didn't do 50 years. He was sentenced to 50 but only did a couple
Yes I was thinking the same thing , I was like Dan he looks pretty good for doing 50 years 😂
He did 4yrs
Yeah, Calamari Productions need to re-write the title of this video......They intended for it to be clickbait. Shame on them.
Yes me too I thought to myself he doesn’t look 67 .
I was just thinking how for 67 he looks damn good. I hate how these are like clickbait clips now. I would have watched either way. This does stop me from subscribing to they channel tho. I know alot of people lwho do the same.
Thank you for posting these! My mom passed away in 2002 and would have loved this. My father was a police officer, and me and my mom always watched jail shows 😂 he said we were unhealthy! 😂we both were trying to get into the jails since 94😂 like really dad we know you can get us in! If she were here she would be your number 1 fan asking to work for you😂
@christinetullock6004 - Awww. Thanks! So sorry to hear you lost your mom. We've been through that pain, too. You never stop missing them. We're so glad you like our channel and took the time to post. Thank you so much!!
I'm sorry you loss your mom 😟
@@JessicaOleary-so2cd thanks
You are normal healthy person. Watching these shows help us to appreciate this life and never take anything for granted.
To Levi, I hope you are doing well. Being that this day was many years ago. I hope you are still able to steer clear from the paths that so many fall into. Its hard growing up in this world today. There needs to be more mentoring going on. Take care.
Just read the update in the description.... I found myself grinning and impressed with both!
Levi appears to have the best cellmate ever wow. So helpful and well spoken. I wish them both well.
Thank you thank you thank you for this work. Man I wish I could be a part of supporting this in some way! I’m so very thankful and inspired to know these boys are out of there and serving society and themselves so well. Wow.
Thank you for watching and for these nice words! Greatly appreciated!
Go on young man 😊😊
One day at a TIME ❤
Ur young a whole life AHEAD of u😊
Pros and Cons that's real talk 😊
Man i did 6 months only and was so happy when i got out. So happy i gave tge other guys a hug that was getting released that i didnt even know. We said a prayer and headed out. Amazing feeling.
I remember being in and having good cellies leave.its so hard.Miles seems like he learned a lot in his time there.i hope they both have a beautiful life
@erikkibler3466 - Appreciate you watching and commenting. We're happy to report that Miles is doing fantastic now that he's free and speaks around the globe on youth incarceration. The last we heard Levi was doing well too. Again, thank you for watching their story and sharing your own experiences.
I'm glad he corrected himself about it being a little incident. Regardless on the part he played, someone lost their life in that "little" incident. I hope he does become a voice for young people to make better choices in life.
@BraddahBruce - we, too, always hope kids who end up in horrible situations like this can be a voice for others in the hopes they don't make the same mistakes. If you missed the detailed explanation of what this crime involved and why the sentence was overturned, see below.
Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@CalamariProductions I understand the reason why. That doesn't negate that he was involved in a criminal activity in which a life was lost. I worked with at risk teens for 20 years. For the record, I feel the sentence was too harsh and inappropriate.
@@BraddahBruce what happened with the homeowner? I'm in UK didn't no law worked like that
@@arb9001 I don't think anything happened to the homeowner. In some states, it is legal to defend property.
@@arb9001 he defended himself and his home. Completely legal to shoot someone who broke in your home.
Miles if you ever see this, I’m praying for you … Trust and believe and have faith soon you’ll be able to go home…To Levi continue on your journey and be good and stay outta trouble, wish you well praying for you as well…
Thank you
Appreciate the time effort & update you put in description ! An all round Great job. Thank you @Calamari
@ilb735 - Thanks! Really appreciate that!
I have been in tears this whole thing through and I’m praying every day for this young man because he has the knowledge the wisdom he is able to do great things and be a greater man I would love to see where he is now and what he is doing, if anybody no comment below.
@erinbarksdale7371 - We will be posting an update on Levi in the very near future. We appreciate your viewership and hope you'll stay tuned for more ahead!
Shine young man! ✨️ Be the good in you always and those around you to see any teenage action as "just fun" can change your entire life!
I have been to two different prisons for the things that I have done and I can tell you being released is absolutely the greatest feeling a person could ever feel in their life. It literally is better than any feeling I've ever had being out on the streets, there is no way to describe the feeling of being released from prison especially if you have done any time at all little 6 months and 1 year bids are not that bad but any length of time, and it's amazing. I got sentenced to prison 2 weeks after getting married to my ex-wife, so I had a lot of hardships in my time mentally. I have wasted 7 years of my life being incarcerated breaking the law and I can honestly say after being released for the final time in 2013, I'm simply a changed man. This boy committed an adult crime at 17 years old and though yes he is getting released and I'm happy for him but I can't say that my heart goes out to him because chances are he will be right back. Simply because he got locked up at such an early age and did not do any real time incarcerated, I can assure you he did not learn his lesson...😢 but hey best of luck to the kid I hope he straightens up and distances himself from his friends that he's had for years because that's what I had to do...
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
What a wonderful story for both of these boys. Thank God for this.😊
What a long walk. Congrats kiddo keep your head up and stay clear of trouble. Lord please keep protection Shields around this boy and allow him to give to the world what he has to offer. He's given a second chance at life and he deserves it 🙏🙏🙏
Very nice prayer, thank you for saying this, God bless you both😇🙏
He's no 67
Amen 🙏
This kid seems like he has a good head on his shoulders. He seems to understand the wrongs he committed. I hope the best for him to become a productive member of society. This seems to be a great example of rehabilitating our youth instead of throwing them into the cycle of a life of crime in and out of prison. I feel the courts did right by this man by giving him a second chance to redeem his life which isn’t always the case and some can’t be rehabilitated but we should always strive to rehabilitate troubled youth. Way to often do we wipe our hands clean throw way the key and forget about them. I hope his story is a successful one.
If he becomes my next door neighbor, I'm movin..

That sentence was harsh to begin with glad it got overturned, glad his mate graduated school and both have been out the system. This is what jail should be aside from punishment but to be reformed for those who qualify to be released back into society if they were to do this with non violent dangerous offenders.
Miles is so supportive of Levi, I hope they can see eachother in the near future ❤
Thanks for sharing hope he all the best for this young man god bless him❤️
Incredible how both speak and feel. Both are awesome, outstanding, and intelligent. They were given too much time for their crimes at their age. The justice ⚖️ system throughout the country needs to be re;evaluated. (From Connecticut January 2024)....
I gotta say the fact that this ended without showing him actually reunite with his family!!😫 Very disappointing!! I 100% watched to the end specifically to see him get released to his family!! I was Soo mad when it ended!! Congratulations and God bless to the young man praying that you have a fulfilled second chance. 🙏💐
@amandaking3192 - Sorry about that! We let them have some private moments alone.
Well I'm glad you let us know the title is deceiving....I hate that.
@@CalamariProductions much respect for allowing Levi and his family members have that moment. This alone made me subscribe and hit notify all videos.
@@moneywelderThanks so much for saying that. We try our best during these sensitive moments. Really appreciate having you here with us on our channel.
@Amanda not at all. 🙂It's their moment let's respect others'privacy. It's good enough at it is. Probably that happened two when Miles and Levi said goodbye.
What a great story and I wish you the very best..
So glad your mind is set to do good.
The judge has give you a second chance as don't let him down .
Wish this young dude all the BEST in life, God bless you 🙏🏻 praying for you.
I hope the best for Levi's mentor as well🙏
Through your own tragic situation you will be an amazing inspiration to other young people on the wrong path. Wishing you the very best in your future aspirations! Live your best life with your family!
@irynawilson1002 - thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. We always hope our videos help other young people who might be heading down the wrong path to stop and take notice. Lives can change in an instant. We hope stories like Levi's can offer both a warning and a sense of hope for the future!
I was in Foster homes growing up and I ended up in prison for minor offences but I've turned my life around and I have a good job and a family of my own now I've been clean for 16 years now 43 and chilled now. When the govener comes to unlock on for release it's the most amazing feeling in the world to know that your going to not only see your family but turn your life around. When I was released from scrubs I got 1 weeks money benifit money pluss money I earned in the kitchens working on the servery. The first thing I did was go straight to probation then straight in the pub. After a few pints it hits you like a ton of bricks. Because your minds working overtime if you know what I mean. Few hours before I was in my prison cell lol now I'm in a pub buzzing. I left all my canteen to my cell mate. I hope he's OK and doing well in life. Not everyone makes it most end up back in there again takes will power to not go back again. Anyway peace and love to everyone out there including my beautiful family 🙏🥊🥊🥊🥊💖💖💖💖
@manunited1132 - appreciate you sharing your own story and glad to hear you turned your life around. Young people need to hear that. Too many feel hopeless. Thank you again for watching and taking the time to comment!
So heartwarming seeing his walk to freedom😊
The criminal Justice system in this country is in dire need of reform, sadly!
I hope he has changed for the good
I really feel sorry for his roommate. He seems like a really like a really nice , decent young man. I hope he gets a break too.
They’re both doing well, college graduates, speaking on juveniles in the system. No more criminal activities for either one.
Miles praying for you ! You helped Levi and others !! Your a positive light and your day is coming! God bless you !! Levi do great things and make the right decisions ! ❤🙏
Thank you
36 years is way to long of a sentence for robbery
@ryancorcoran564 - Yes it is. We're happy to report that after years of legal battles, Miles was granted a sentence modification and was released from prison in December, 2020 after 12 years behind bars. He went on to finish college and was valedictorian of his graduating class. An amazing example of second chances and perserverence!
Great video to watch😮
Good luck to both Levi and Miles. You both have a lot of good in you and can make something respectful out of your lives. Good luck and GOD bless.😊❤❤❤❤
@easygoer1234 - Thanks for watching and wishing them well! We're happy to report that both young men are doing well! Miles was granted a sentence modification in 2020 and is doing GREAT!

I'm so very proud of him, I will keep you in my prayers and I wish you a long happy life
GOOD LUCK young man.
If u ever read this, despite that i live in Australia, i am here to talk n lean on in those times that it gets hard.
I am 60, a mum 6 times over, biologically, n a mum of and to over more than a dozen young people.
Many have been homeless, addicted, lost.
I have loved n helped each n everyone as much as possible.
Just remember this , as the offer is open.
Keep moving on n upwards.
I hope the best of this young man, his communication skills are quite impressive.
I remember seeing the vid of him going in .. this is awesome to see
I remember this kid from the kids behind bars documentary about 4 years ago. Was wondering what happened to him.
He got 50 year's
Four years is enough for Levi. Now he can be a productive member of society. Even as a mortician. I wonder why he chose that. But in that profession, you help families when their loved ones pass. Good for him. Much success, Levi! 🙏
Lol bro no one owes society anything if it's just a job why do a bunch of people talk about their minimum wage job like it's my parents talking about sweatshops in China 20 years ago.
100k a year job if ur fully trained n licensed. Same as any trade , plumbing electrical hvac. Too bad high schools don’t teach tech anymore
@@bookreaderson They used to have the option of normal school or the school teaching the kids a trade. That was bad to lose.
Much better job than working in this digital mess. Better pay too. I'm a programmer and I wish I'd have chosen a trade that wasn't being taken over by AI. Good tradesmen will always be required. And people never stop dying, so he's never going to be out of a job. Good on the lad.
Even the mildly retarted can be trained to do repetitive needed work like a a line or wraping cabinets. I worked with a company that did that. N got great things written about em online
Miles is so well spoken. I hope his spirit is still lifted.
@kdee_serikali5975 - Happy to report that Miles finally got a sentence modification and was released in 2020. He went on to graduate college, was class valedictorian and now speaks around the globe.

We suck as a nation. 22 states still sentence children to JLWOP
Yet female drunk drivers who kill get fuck all.
i pray he will stay out and just live his life god bless him everyone does wrong
God bless you Levi. Make life easy for you live a decent and honest life your parents and family love you .God bless your parents and family .
Great video love to c the good that hapoens with these kids we see to much of the negative
thank you @cynthiadavid5282!
Congrats Levi. You are very mature at your age. You have a bright future. Also, thank God for this country for second chances.
Best wishes to Levi for a successful life.
Good watch I'm 33 fighting on ppv in July tv. I was in the system from the age of 9. Nd done 13 year locked up. Every prison in Scotland. Hope u change s I have so there s hope
Would be good to see how he is doing now.
Best wishes.
Congratulations Levi, you got this. God bless you!
Levi prayers and happy living on the outside i hope all goes well for u on the outside so u never have to back on the inside of those walls
It seems like someone should be released immediately after their case is overturned. Why does it take months to get out? And another question why wasn’t he at court when they were overturning his case? Seems like he should’ve been there because I mean it’s his life on the line…
Thanks again for being there for the kid's.
God Bless Our Young People,
Please Give Them Wisdon Keepthem Safe,
Thank You God.
I’m happy for this young kid,he deserves a 2nd chance.I hope his cell mate gets a 2nd chance.both seems to be good young men.
@eifiondavies1889 - thank you for watching their stories. If you go to our UA-cam home page you'll find updated videos with Miles. He was finally released in 2020 after receiving a sentence modification and is doing GREAT today!
Stay on the straight & narrow path young man!🙂👍🙏
I can't believe I just watched this whole thing only to NOT see him get out at the end. Brutal editing
Levy I am Spanish it is 22.20 here I am at the sofa with my daughter 13 before going to sleep I am crying with your history... My english is not enough to say what I would like... Take profit of this second opportunity... I see you are a good person... I am very very happy for you.. A lot of kisses from Spain...
Bless your kind heart @Maria. 😘
i also pray levi friend gets out he doesnt seem like a bad person but robbery is a big things but i pray he stays okay makes me sad to know he is watching his friend leave
What well spoken young men.
THANK U❤
As a juvenile CO I have heard the saying...I will never be back so many times and in six months they are back ..
Best feeling ever! I maxed out of state prison in 2009 after doing 5 yrs been home ever since
where did you do your nickle man?
Good luck Levi hope you do well out there budd❤
A little remorse for his dead friend would be lovely.
Try being locked up and getting out and not knowing what a cell phone is you never seen one before lol
There is so much good that can be done inside prison. Miles or anyone can turn their lives to helping others inside (or outside through letters . . . ) prison and find great fulfillment. Also, feeling good about taking responsibility for your behaviors, showing the victims true remorse by seeing how good it feels to the victims that you are no longer a threat by being behind bars and again making good with the time you do have shows genuine maturity and social responsibility.
I hope Levi goes back to visit his roommate from time to time
He can't, it would be a parole violation.
That’s awesome way to go miles I hope both are well now 🫶🏻🙏🏼
@mahalawisner1739 - Miles is doing fantastic. Got out, was valedictorian of his college class and is now working to help other kids who are ensnared in the juvenile justice system. Thanks for asking!
Bless you!
Glad to know that both of them are finally out.
Good luck and please stay out of trouble and make a happy life for yourself.
