Hi from nor California. 707. I got court at 9 am. Facing 36 months. Sounds like a eternity to me. How homeboy seems like he came out normal with his time gives me both anxiety and hope i got the similar courage. My first time going behind the walls as a adult. This life is misery kids. Aint nothing cool about missing my first child being born. GOD bless anyone who read this.
Good luck. Keep away from drugs and debts. Keep the faith and train hard and read and stay healthy. You’ll be out just fine. Think and reflect on how you got there and change friends and habits. It’s not like you’re doing 36 years. You will be fine. We all mess up. Use this time to focus on what matters
Why risk not being in your child’s life? No amount of money is worth not being there….luckily you’ll be out by the time she’s cognizant…don’t risk having to watch her grow up without you. Kids don’t care if you’re poor and they’re easy to feed….do the right thing homie even if you’re poor af.
I relate to this story on so many levels. I started out young, with my Dad also, & it was all normal to me. I ran hard for a lot of years & saw no problem with it. The DEA picked me up in 2019 for distribution & I went to Federal prison. There, I also learned about how we become addicted to crime just as much, if not more, than drugs. Prison was a blessing for me. I had a 20 year long heroin addiction that I could never kick. Prison made me decide to change my life & it’s been almost 5 years since I’ve used that devil drug. Awesome interview!
@@notsocrates9529 I just had a really bad addiction problem & throughout the 20 years that I used heroin, I tried repeatedly to get & stay clean. I never made it to even 3 months before I was using again. I sold drugs for a large portion of my life & had someone I knew for 8 years snitch on me, along with about 15 other people. We all went to the Feds. But like I said, I made the choice to get my life back together & haven’t looked back.
So very correct Shaun….dude is an awesome storyteller and for what you guys are doing he’s great!!!!! I love when someone can tell their story and i can enjoy it!!! Crime is crazy….
It's tragic how often parents in the US are the ones that begin their children's drug addiction. Shaun, your experiences in America really give you a connection with interviewees, especially ex-American prisoners. I'd let them know right from the beginning of the interview.
I was at university Santa Barbara from Liverpool- I studied the prison system in California it’s totally insane as is rest of states- I had opportunity to live there glad I didn’t besides food is crap but to survive a prison there is courageous
@@wealthyspaces1131 ca is not all insane, when the two biggest unions are teachers and correctional officers in the state. Makes you wonder how ca has one largest prison population in country
@@texascrimestories I can’t teach you to read English. Apologies. Mark IS locked down and I have not heard from him in two weeks. Got jailed in Carson and now in Vegas the system is corrupted. Why comment on what you can’t understand boo
I did 5.2 years in Az ... started on a 4 yard, and eventually made it to a 2 yard. After about 4 years,they constantly messed up the classification on fish. I remember at classification these 2 guys snuck into another group to go get another plate from the chow hall. They were caught and were instantly locked down and classified as 5s(which is the highest in az. ) All for a second tray. Bad decision.
Lmao! I did the same shit from the ditches off beach& Warner and we also took the tumnels from the golf course off 17th and Santa Ana in Costa Mesa and came out on the 405 by jonn Wayne airport...
My experience with white parolees from ca have been uneventful. Although tattoos say a lot about someone, my pops would say don’t judge by someone’s cover (books cover)
WOW I dated this guy my first term we were cell mates and I remember when I was finally able to tell him that I liked him I didn't know what he was going to do but he actually embraced my lifestyle we began to use and experiment on each other love u Chris..
These dudes rush him and are If dude didn’t have a gun easily could have been beaten to death…and we expect him to take that risk rather than saying “Hey if you don’t want to get shot, LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE”…seems easier to not jump someone rather than put your life in someone’s hands.
Wow the part about the young drunk driver getting coffee off the black guy 😢your story about working out with a different race in your book could have ended like that if you’d not just got a warning
Is it impossible for a prisoner in america to be a lone wolf or a stand alone ,and not join any gang and do there whole sentence without being f****d with by other prisoners.?? Or do you have to join a gang . Thanks for the content shaun i may be dubious about some of the previous guests honesty,but li like you and the channel.
If they stay away from anything that involves money, they could where I live in Ohio. No drugs, gangs, gambling, hookups, etc. My brother served 6 years and is currently serving 16 years.
Dope story. And they know exactly what they doin on lvl 4 maxes. I’m friends with my old COs and he tells me they used to bet on either gangs for fights. u know what they say tho. We always out numbered but we even out the odds. It could be 22 vs 100. Northerners are always out numbered. Much love to my northern gente. push pull striving these succahs don’t get it that’s why they stay falling behind.

Damn, that sounds like one hell of a story, care to tell a bunch of strangers what happened?

Keep on pushing forward Chris!
Another great ep and as always RIP Wildman
Good one! He’s a Good Guy now. Keep it up, stay off the crank and stay positive with mindset and the good life.
My man is locked down 23/1 in high desert in Vegas. No outside at all. Been two years. Has never had a job there!!! Sigh. Heartbreaking
Don't be a criminal then.
Oh he has been outside, if not then that's because he is closing not to

❤😊THANK YOU SHAUN FOR SHARING.
Thank you for this. The prison system is most corrupted 🤬
Stay up brother! Love from the UK and love from simonzes :). Your shirt is cool.
Chris you are inspiring n love what you are trying to achieve for our youth. Wish you well. ❤
I wish Shaun would send these guys a decent microphone whenever he has to do these kind of podcasts 😂😂
What's the profit margin per prisoner in a year in the USA
To me it looks like some people are getting millions of dollars by keeping people locked up
my step father retired a C.O.
he wouldnt talk about it, and didn't really answer questions.
Good morning, Shaun from Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
