I find the prison interviews fascinating. I would love to see an interview with someone on death row
Yes, that would be a toe-tapper.
The interview with the warden is quite interesting
@@MedusaWithoutTheBaggage Was gonna say this too.
@@KurtBob agreed
aren't we all?
Edward Norton could play this guy pretty well.
Yes. 😂
Or Ukraine President. Forget his name.
I thought the same thing! I love Edward Norton!
Ohh damn that was spot on lol
My favorite actor!
Addiction doesn’t belong in the prison system. Same cycle without any change. System needs change.
Amen I agree
He never read that list of friends he was gonna shoutout 😢
Can't for legal reasons
My son is 20 has an Iq of 68 he has been sitting in jail since February 21st violation of probation and caught up with the wrong ppl ALL i want is help. He's locked down 23 hours a day my boy may be facing prison AND All I want is help he's going to be homeless and on the streets or in prison or dead if someone does not help me. Him & I applied for disability in December he actually has an appointment on Tuesday, that we are gonna miss & has an appointment for a mental health evaluation on the 20th of June. I just need a lawyer a judge someone to freaking care Kamryn is in his own world he was born with pulmonary stenosis. He's got PTSD bipolar and I'm almost positive schizophrenia I just need someone to care and see that my child needs to be put in a facility a place that will teach him life skills a place where he can get his GED. NOT jail
🙏💛🙏
I'm so sorry ill be praying for you and your son. I'm in Tennessee and we have a rural legal aide that's suppose to help people with civil or criminal problems for free so maybe look into that where you live. Hope he's taken care of.
Lol I just saw your comment was a yr ago but I still pray that you and your son are ok
🙏🏻 for you mam I understand fully
My brother is also schizophrenic he will never have a normal life like you will never have kids he will never be able to have his own place he is having a hard time just finding a woman he don't want nothing more than a companion and it is so f****** sad and it's like nobody understands mental illness anymore he goes to a store and gets arrested and instead of bringing him somewhere that will help like maybe a mental health facility
They bring him straight to jail
I honestly don't see how it is okay to lock somebody up with mental illness
@@dillanlush8153 here we are almost 3 months later (after he got out of jail for the 5th time July 11th) And my son is still not in a psychiatric hospital. He just turned 22 on Thursday and he's getting worse and worse. Can't even get him insurance because it was court ordered by the judge for him to go with psychiatric hospital. However the judge is not doing his job. I have paperwork stating my son is a danger to himself and to others and they will not do anything to help me. It's so frustrating. I know your heart breaks for your brother. My son's The same way once a girlfriend. He has a girlfriend now and he treats her like crap. Talks to her horribly for no reason. My heart breaks for my son knowing I'm going to have to take care of him the rest of my life I will. I'm his mother it's my job, but it is so hard. I am in fear of him
I love this accent so much 🧡 I hope this man can get sober and turn his life around for good.
I volunteered at the local jail for a while, and it was always drugs and alcohol. Like, literally every person I ever met there. Either dealing, stealing to buy or violence because of. It's crazy.
Agreed complete insanity.
This is awesome. So glad Mark got to go in and talk to inmates.
Lol. Those are just your locals at the precinct that broke probation for petty crimes.
Clay County has a very good jailer!
@@aspartamekillsyaknow9019 Still a jail though right? Lol
@@aspartamekillsyaknow9019 why are you laughing? He's still incarcerated. Who cares if they are petty crimes, mark is spreading this persons story. If you are comparing him to others, you missed the point of this interview.
@@dantet4982 to the point of exploitation and grifting
People are really out here giving some guy best wishes for what, being chill and polite?
This guy has been cooking meth since he was 15, in prison when he was 18, now 20 years later has been to prison at least 4 times as far as I could understand, been out for 6 month in the last 5 years, caught again and again for drugs and fleeing, violence involved.
This guy has been given a chance 4 times in the last 20 years to do something with his life, has a son who has no father now, etc.
Of course I'm for giving him another chance when he gets out again, he has enough time to work on himself, he seems like a wild guy who could become a decent guy, but he's definitely stuck in his reckless behavior and identity. I have my doubt that he'll be out forever next time. Maybe he'll just get old and relax, but yeah.
There's a distinct lack of pretense and guile in these Appalachians.
It's a shame they don't have more opportunities, because those are good characteristics to have.
Brandon had to keep asking Mark “say what now”….cause Mark’s accent is very hard to understand! 😜
Ha - 2 way street😂
I love how he ended it, his most important advice is to take each day as it comes and whenever u see your parents/loved ones make sure u tell them u love them because u never know when u may see them again !!
"In a trailer behind a trailer"... Damn, wish I had a trailer or RV at least. Most ppl hear that and think ewww trailer, but when you live in an SUV a trailer would be a huge upgrade.
The drug situation in Appalachia is very sad. It infuriates me because thise disgusting politicians do nothing and eat the whole hog while these people whither away. The American dream is a farce.
The politicians didn’t care, but the blame lies solely on the pharmaceutical companies and the doctors who wrote prescriptions for opioids knowing they were highly addictive.
@@ow3wells Well, the senators and congressmen/women of the Appalachian states don't seem to have done a single thing for their people in the years and decades they've been in Washington D.C. I'd say they shoulder a great deal of blame for the "situation."
@@karenfryberger4260 Some senators are committing to help but others aren’t, remember there has to be close to a majority.
I love how criminals say they “caught a charge”. Like it’s a cold.
lol
Please more prison interviews!
I grew up with a family from Kentucky, kind & warm…good hearted people. It’s been so long since I’ve heard that drawl, didn’t realize how much I’ve missed it. Brandon’s vibe is near identical to them. You can tell he’s holdin on strong behind bars. Peace & love B❤ thanks so much for this interview Mark, quality work the way you respectfully show their lives on camera♥️
@TheOrietNivig Please don't take any offence to it. I too love the accent. I am from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean and his/your accent is so very distinct and unique.
His friends wanted to hear their names out in this world 🖤😭 hoping better times find them, and Brandon also
Listen to this interview. This mans voice sounds like its coming from a 60 year old man.. Its CRAZY!
I’m a corrections kitchen supervisor and it’s so hard hearing all these stories first hand and having absolutely no way to help. So I do what I can and I give them good tasting food… a little hope to keep going.
What kind of help do you believe he needs? I've never seen a guy who seemed so comfortable and content who is in jail. By his own admission, he's not depressed (which is more than what a lot of people who are 100% free can say). He's clearly eating well, clean, taken care of. HE'S SERVING TIME FOR A BUNCH OF CRIMES HE COMMITTED AND LAWS HE'S BROKEN. That's how justice works and he seems quite content where he is and with his situation. What makes you think the guy has no hope? He claimed to have not even gone through withdrawal when he was incarcerated. Dude is 100% fine...better off than some people I know who work 60 hours per week just to pay rent and utilities.
🙏
God bless your heart. It's the little things that matter.
We can't all be big heroes, but we can all do litlte things to help each other out.
Tread carefully so as not to fall into the trap of letting your kindness be exploited by those looking to take advantage of it, because they will. The former prison guard in Alabama, Vicky White, found out the hard way and lost her life because of it. I used to teach literacy and GED classes in a prison on a volunteer basis and it took me a little while to realize that I was being 'sized up' every moment by many of the inmates just to see how far they could 'move the goal line' despite my being warned about it from the very start by the guards and the administrators who ran the program. It's amazing how subtle it can be, but it was happening from the very moment I started. Some of it was an "alpha" dynamic where the inmates wanted to establish their place in classroom hierarchy. I was technically the guy 'in charge" for the classroom sessions although I wasn't looking to show some sort of 'dominance". I just wanted to teach the classes in an orderly fashion for those who truly wanted to better themselves, which was most of the class. Just about everyone had a story that they were innocent or a victim of circumstance, or mistaken identity. Really? multiple convictions for different offenses over several years were all wrong? Some even tried to get me to smuggle items into or out of the prison for them like a phone, or a letter or some basic commissary items. Once I established the proper boundaries in a firm, but respectful way, everything went smoothly. The fact that I didn't try to jam anyone up for even asking me to do those things (which can result in disciplinary action to the inmate just for attempting it) also went a long way in establishing a rapport, but I also made it clear that they were not to ever ask again. Stay safe.
@@KayFabe87 this is wisdom right here. I've often considered teaching the incarcerated. But I know myself. Even as a retired college instructor, I know I'd be manipulable. At some point, someone would get to me in just the right way, I'd feel sorry for them, & that would be it. I'd be right there breaking the law, right beside them, to smuggle something in or whatever. Your comment made me to at last take this option off the table for work. Thanks
Boy he is telling the truth about how bad dope is over there. I go over every chance I get and ride dirt bikes around 3 counties on the mountain tops and ridges... as far back into the wilderness as it gets. About 100 mile loop. Been doing that over 20 years and I can see how it has changed. I love East KY because it is like going to another country and stepping back in time. Going east once you leave London and pass manchester... its like another country. However, the people are stuck somewhere between a poor but wholesome past trying to move into the future with access to all the bad things the world has to offer but very few of the good things.
He forgot to shout out his friends!!!
I was waiting for it too
Nah, mark wasn’t having that
Mark probably just cut it out of the video...
@@asmasam Why??
Damn I was thinking same thing and I was looking forward to hearing it 😅
"It ain't fun" Can't imagine being in a scenario where actual K-9's are set on you for attack. Holy smokes
Same as yesterday: 'when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging..' And make sure your kids finish high school....
As an Australian his accent is awesome, cant wait to visit the south of USA .
Please do visit the south. Most foreigners only go to NYC, Miami and LA, literally the worst that the US has to offer. You'll find real good hearted Americans in the south.
So there's pedos murderers etc running free and this guy is hounded like a dog for being wild. He seems a decent guy. There's suits snorting coke every week free...let this guyhave a chance at life !! I wish him that.
girl he tried to kill someone
How do you mean? pedos and murderers also look like decent people when you sit down and have a talk with them like this, its all superficial.
You should marry him. Have a few kids. Show him the good life.
You can change him, honey. I know you can.
He attempted to kill police officers. How would you feel if your loved one was one of the officers he tried to kill?
He killed a cop
You didn’t let him give his shout outs!!!
I know! I said that too! They're gonna be so disappointed!
As crazy as it sounds, this dude is just really laid back and seems just as content to be in jail as he would be in his own living room. He's probably not a bad guy if and when he gets straightened out. Good luck!
He's probably not a bad guy? attempted murder on a police office 😂😂
Yeah, he is a great guy. Can he marry your sister?
Lots of these dudes are like this; comfortable in jail/prison. Not only cause they have been there tons of times, but because they don’t know how to function in the real world....
In jail, they have no responsibility. No bills to pay, no laundry to do, no real job to work. So they actually don’t mind being in there, all their needs are met and they don’t have to work
That's what he wants you to think
@Ken Hur that's probably right. At his age, he's probably right where he belongs.
Well done, Mark. The degree of separation is so much smaller than we think. Brandon's not dumb, his Kentucky drawl might lead some to believe that but you can tell he is a smart young man caught in a cycle of destruction and bad decisions. Good luck to him. I hope he finds a guiding light and perhaps it will be his family or God. Or both.
Future Nobel prize winner
He's as dumb as a bag of rocks, does every drug he can find then makes meth too, yea genius
Bad decisions are a sign of dumbness
@@daveyvane9431 Live long enough, you'll make some bad decisions.
that would be......God
Sad situation. Simple answer to this - conscription - put these boys into army - teach them discipline, responsibility and respect and they will have half a chance. Not many active soldiers on meth.
Meth was drug of choice for the man with the tiny moustache. Still being used in War.
This interview was fascinating in many ways, not least linguistically. In Brandon's narrative, one hears the pure sounds of Appalachia.
Just beautiful to listen to, pure Appalachia
I definitely could tell he was from my neck of the woods as soon as he started to speak. Good ol queen’s English.
I love it
Nobody understands there is nothing to do but drugs in a couple states
Don't worry the car tell that found the open border will have this ish in every state soon. Look at Kensington near Philly. They've moved to even "funner" drugs to ruin more lives with. Shout out to Mayor Jim.
He forgot to read the list of names 😢
🤔"WHEN I PLAYED THIS VIDEO I WAS ACTUALLY DRAWING WHILE LISTENING TO IT, HES GOT A VOICE OF AN 80 YEAR OLD MAN!"🤣🤣🤣🤣
The dude dont know no depression, he aint even had time to comprehend if he would be or not, his whole life has been 'proceedure' its all he really knows.
“I wouldn’t fool with meth” good dude here, terrible choices and not many opportunities but a good guy. I hope he gets some peace in his life and gets out and doesn’t go back.
How is he a good guy?
@@lamBETTERthanY0U because he's got a nice circumsized D
@@lamBETTERthanY0USometimes good people make bad choices. That's what he is. A good person that made bad decisions.
@@missyluvs87 so what makes him a good person?
@@missyluvs87 I would also like to know.
Says he wants to stay clean, do better. Obviously never wanted it bad enough because he's had many chances.
I truly hope when he is finally released, he finally wants it bad enough. Seems like a really nice guy, making really bad decisions. 😔
Addiction is a illness he just needs help
He seems to really love his mom and respect her. Always nice to see.
The 9th grade seems to be the magic number for most of these people.
Good god. Dude is 5 years older than me but looks 15 years older. Drugs are so hard on people. Such a difficult lifestyle... He seems like a good, honest guy though. I hope the best for him when he is released.
Yup we must be the same age and I thought the same thing lol
Mark, if you are ever in Oneida again, please look up James Paul VonHelton. He is self proclaimed most interesting man in the world. Ie original Punisher, DJ all over the US, secret government job, Grand Wizard and many more claims. You will not be disappointed and thank you for you awesome work.
He should have just shouted out his friends when he mentioned it...
It wasn't important. They only wanted to hear their name on UA-cam.
Man it’s wild.. having grown up in Georgia, i don’t need subtitles at all to be able to understand what he’s saying. I’ve lived different places - Los Angeles CA.. Austin TX.. so I understand why people would have trouble making out his words, but to me he just sounds like a dude talking. Everyone sounds like this where I’m currently at. 😝
Now I understand how republicans get elected in Kentucky
For such a prosperous nation our prison system is the most draconian and barbaric in the first world. Our recidivism rate is over 70%. This man is drained of emotion and institutionalized. Even if your right leaning like me, the way we treat our inmates is an embarrassment, and make me angry and disappointed in a nation I love so much.
What makes you love a nation of such a prison state and overly capitalistic society? Genuine question? I love that you can see through the facade of the war on drugs and barbarism that we display these days, but am genuinely curious as to why you love this nation? Cuz it’s honestly been like this forever and any attempt to make an ACTUAL change in our horrible societal policies, is just brushed over and politicized in ways that distract people from focusing on the real issues. There might have been a few brief periods of time that activism and speaking up for “freedom” worked to change a few things . But later on, is just politicized and warped into media propaganda, to separate us further. I’m genuinely curious as to why anyone could “love this nation”. We are all institutionalized at this point. It’s concerning af.
I’m getting older and it’s harder to remember things.
So true as age comes
He's far from old!!!
Let’s keep 💯 he’s a lost cause and that goes for 90% of the people he interviews 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
I'm mostly good with accents, but I'm glad there are subtitles here...
Drugs age you so badly . He's just two years older than I am .
Yes, but you're black and black don't crack!!
I went through Clay County Kentucky on a trip out west. Gen X and Gen Y really had nothing to do. I made sure my kids were busy.
I'm praying he gets better. Addiction is a heck of a disease. I know. I'm an addict. I'll have 6 years clean on Sept 4. He can beat being institutionalized if he had the support he needs. I had to edit. I gave in to addiction when my mother died. Opiates.
Keep going, your doing great.
Congratulations on your 6 years clean!
Honestly I never understand on these Kentucky and WV interviews when people say they had nothing to do so they turned to drugs. I grew up in a small southern town before the internet. There was literally only 2 things to do in my town which was church and watching Friday night high school football. Church back then was not an entertainment center like it is now. You went in, sat very still and quietly listened to a sermon, prayed and sang hymns. There were no parties and games for the youth like today. We had no shopping centers only a gas station, post office and small grocery store. So people had to find ways to entertain themselves. And there were zillions of ways people could entertain themselves. From the beginning of time people had to find their own way to occupy their time and entertain themselves without needing drugs. It seems like only recent generations need manufactured entertainment handed to them or they don’t know what to do. I don’t know what happened to these recent generations that made them lose the natural instinct to entertain themselves.
Interestingly this guy seems to be able to keep himself entertained in prison and what’s there? But he can’t figure it out on the outside. Somehow as society we have messed up our children to no longer figure out for themselves how to entertain themselves.
Maybe we have over fed them with entertainment. When i was a kid if a kid said “ I’m bored “ a parent would say “I’ll find you something to do “ and magically kids would quickly find a solution to their problem. We figured it out. Kids can’t figure it out anymore apparently and that’s disturbing.
@@stst77 TL;DR: This generation of sucks and mine was the last good one.
p.s.- drugs aren't anything new. We've been entertaining ourselves for thousands of years with them.
@@trip4923 I agree drugs have been around in one form or another since the beginnings of time, but i can say with absolute certainty the drug problem has increased exponentially since my childhood. The drug problem at the extent it is today didn’t exist when I was a kid and that is an absolute fact.
I’m real proud of you. Congratulations
He's really attractive
Women are so messed up
@@OUTBOUND184 I'm not saying he's a good person lol
@@abigailcoffey512 The reality is that you wouldn't look twice at someone with this sort of dental hygiene. Women have no idea what they want.
@Odi et Amo you're making a lot of assumptions and I think you're spending too much time on the internet
@@abigailcoffey512 It's my experience OFF the internet that has lead me to these conclusions. You are confused.
he forgot to shoutout his friends he had on the piece of paper :(
So what!!
He’s not that old, yet the way he talks and the sound/tone of his voice, comes across as old and wise of sorts.
He doesn't seem like a bad guy at all. Just a guy with a drug problem. I hope he gets out as soon as he can and stays away from drugs.
He's rated high risk, that means he's a menace
He seems humble. Might be a totally different guy when he gets high though, but I truly wish him luck with staying sober and living straight.
the prison system is a big money maker. the government lets it in and provides the problem, the reaction and solution. some areas are targeted.
love this channel. this shit's a thousand times more interesting than interviews with rich people and celebrities. and yeah nice to see not all regional accents in the states have disappeared yet. at least some people still have em'.
This guy Is good, he's not gloryfying drugs etc..
He didn’t get to give the shout out to his friends mark you outta do it for him or play an extended clip now he’ll probably get put on the door lol
"Hès in a trailer back behind my brother's trailer, and I am waiting to go to prison." Another country song Mark from these Kentucky jailhouse interviews.
I can fix him 😊
Jkjk but fr 13 yrs ago i wouldve been in love with this fool. Wish him the best. Sucks he got institutionalized so early wheb he just needed treatment for addiction 😮
❤
A real life Delmar. I bet he knocked over a Piggly Wiggly over in Yazoo too.
aww, he didn't get to say hi to his buddies....little thrills....makes me so sad to see this and remember Brandon your still young...so hang tight to get out and chill out straight and narrow mellow life
He got that sentence because he is poor cant afford good representation whole system is fucked there is no same punishment for the rich and the poor same crime always different outcome
Now we're starting to evolve... Love the different style interviews
He talks the essence of a southern stereotype. Let this be s lesson kids, stereotypes are based on truths.
"There are two kinds of people in the world, those who believe there are two kinds of people in the world and those who don't."
- Robert Benchley
He admitted he was institutionalized. My best friend’s stepson and my other friend’s brother are institutionalized too. Both men would do their time, come out and enjoy the outside life for a bit then did something that would take them back to prison until they had sentences that won’t allow them out. The whole thing is interesting. I wanted to hear his shout out to his friends. Wonder why it wasn’t included. Legal reasons? Great interview. Thank you ❤
Yea same here I was wanting to hear the shout-outs to
I don’t know how I did a whole year got out and never looked back. I was facing life in prison though so that may have helped keep me out. Worst place a man can be. No family, no women, no good food, no freedom I don’t get how some dudes like it in there
@@fokyewtoob8835 same here bro I did Three months in 2021 and that did me in I pray that I never go back...the hardest part for me was not being able to see my kids and family
@@jamesmuncy406 glad you see it how I see it brother hope you’re doing well and your family as well 💯
@@fokyewtoob8835 I really appreciate that brother and I hope and pray that you and your family is doing great as well
As I saw a couple others have already mentioned I, too, was a little bummed Dude didn't get to make his shoutouts and it was the very first thought that I had, as the video was fading out. I felt for him throughout the video, so many bad choices on top of the system that likes to keep you in it and that usually gives you just enough rope to keep on hangin' yourself, figuratively, obviously, was more than enough, for, this young man polite, respectful and who seems nice enough to spend most of his LIFE locked away like an animal in a CAGE! Even missing his mother's funeral, but, he was a flight risk as they had caught him on the run sleeping, when trying to get his friend to get him away, from all the heat, but it landed him in the frying pan instead. And I know it might not've been much and probably seems stupid to some people but the shout outs he'd hoped to give at the end, would've been a bright spot in his dark existence...and would have put a smile and some joy in his, and his friends lives, and upon their faces. Made them happy even for just a second or minute, but more importantly made them feel a little human again, he coulda felt some slight dignity, and that another person out there, actually cared enough to let him do that little thing, for him and his friends to feel that tiny wee bit of victory...in a life, where they've felt, they've gotten the short END of the stick or always come up snakes eyes, or flunk out, or end up bustin' everytime when so many others always seem to hit, or land, on blackjack, or jackpot, or, at least, they do well enough to keep on playin' or stay in the game a little longer; that one, little gesture would've meant so much to him, and his, and, even, strangely enough, me, for some godawful reason...get out, BUD, and get your life straightened out so that you can actually start living it again, and be back with your true family, where, you obviously belong, whether or not if you're actually deserving of being there...or not! You deserve better than you'd gotten or'd allowed yourself, to suffer through. STAY STRONG! NEVER GIVE UP! AND ALWAYS REMAIN HOPEFUL...HAVING A POSITIVE OUTLOOK, WHENEVER POSSIBLE! I AND SOME OTHERS BELIEVE IN YOU, AND'LL BE PRAYING FOR YOU TO TURN OVER A NEW LEAF! GOOD LUCK, SPEAD LOVE, & DROWN OUT THE HATE THAT PLAGUES YOUR LIFE AND SO MANY OTHER LIVES IN THERE! YOU CAN FIND...AND YOU DO DESERVE...A CHANCE AT NORMAL LIFE, AGAIN AFTER YOU'VE DONE YOUR TIME AND GOTTEN BACK OUT INTO SOCIETY, SCOOBY! DON'T EVER FORGET THAT! :D
Great job America…you should be very proud.
you kno soft white is connected when the jail allows him to interview inmates
He's having trouble understanding some of the questions. Fantastic interview questions, but it might help the subjects if you spoke slower. They're not dumb, but used to a different speaking cadence.
This guy!! Reminds me of my roots and home in North Carolina, his acceptance of all this is good. His calmness is just the way they are in the south. My grandfather ran moonshiner and and was so high after a chase.
I hope he can get out soon and stay sober!!!😮
A veteran in the war on drugs 🇺🇸 Keep fighting brother someday we'll drive em back into the sea 💪
Now that was a great interview, so honest no bullshit, he laid it right out there! WOW! Great job on interview Mark!! 😊💓✌️
Totally agree!
I really thought these interviews couldn't get better, but the addition of captions makes it touch more sparkly
You can turn on closed captions on all his other videos, as well. Click the ‘Cc’ in the upper right hand corner.
Unfortunately it’s not always captioned correctly
Crazy that this guy is in jail all these years for being an addict. I'm a recovering addict and just lucky not to have grown up in the South.
Did you not pay attention to the interview and the crimes he's committed?
@@kareemwillis2033 I admit that I should have more fulsome in my reply... (and, honestly, I can't remember why I mentioned the South)
When I was teen in the 70's in Oklahoma, I ran when the cops tried to stop me more than once. I got expelled from school, got in fights (not tough, just angry), and drank and took pills, etc. I never was into guns, really, but there would be one in the car on someone usually... IDK, maybe because I was a little more articulate and maybe because a few "adults" did help me instead of "throwing the book" at me I was somehow able to go on to college and get sober and have a life.
Obviously there's a lot more going on with this guy that is in this interview and you are right that he's more than just an addict who ran from the cops... I guess I just saw enough of myself (from decades ago) in him and imagined when I could have taken a couple a bad turns and possibly ended up like him...
Ii reminds me of the adage, "There, but for the Grace of God, go I."

@@BobDobalina-fg3dx a little bit. I was transfixed with his druel. A women would have maybe been even better.
Aw, he never got to say hi to his buddies!
I’d like to know if these inmates ever got treatment for their drug abuse or do they want treatment when they are finally released.
He' comes across as intelligent and likable.. an obvious example of someone who needs treatment not punishment! No justice in US system
Likeable - this piece of crap has absolutely no redeeming qualities about him whatsoever
I really enjoy the this jail interview!
You definitely should do more
I hope this Goode ole country boy gets his life together when he gets out.
Yeah - he may even meet the woman of his dreams - that is - if his family has a reunion.

Keep your head up Brandon, we all mess up and life is hard. We do what we have to to get by good or bad. I'm a country boy to and know the struggle. Hang in there brother. Sending you love from the Blue Ridge mnts here in NC.
He forgot to shout out his homies
I grew up in the panhandle part of Maryland by West Virginia, and Virginia. I just realized I am the most American accent may very well be Appalachia, and this dude doesn’t seem like a bad guy at all just made poor choices in an area where there aren’t many opportunities or options
That’s bollocks, my grandmother grew up in grafton wv. There was nothing but farmers and coal companies buying up the farmland. She signed up to be a navy waive in wwii and got married even though she couldn’t drive or go to college. There’s a world of difference between someone using drugs and a dealer, don’t trust his words saying he cares for “some little un.”
A hell of a accent
I honestly thought he said "my first love was math" at the beginning. 😆
Random list of unrelated jail inmates left on the cutting room floor...typical 😠
Born and raised in Kentucky. I live in Louisville, KY now. It’s crazy to me how different the accent is where I’m from compared to Eastern KY. It’s like a whole other world out that way.
Dude looks like a Southern Jessy Pinkman, its mad how he cant understand Mark and how he needs subtitles.
Ever since i started watching SWU iit reminded me of my brother. With just about 90% of the videos. Hes been locked up for 11 years and has another 14 to do. I tell him about the things that i go through out on the streets and he tells me that hes almost glad that hes in there.
Honestly in 14 years ameroca might be alot better.
Damn this guys got a story I couldn’t imagine being ripped away from my kid the day she was born that unfortunate
Can we get an update on Izzy please? I hope she is okay.
I’m waiting on the shout-out and hello to his list of friends.
Danke!
He never got to read of his friends names.
