I think the scariest part of prison is the possibility of catching new charges inside because of doing shit you have to do to survive. Edit: When I wrote this, I was looking down the barrel at 10 years for crimes I wasn't guilty of (someone tried to seriously hurt me and they got hurt instead, no witnesses). After multiple years of insanity inducing stress and getting f***ed around by the system ("right to a speedy trial" is a joke), I successfully made my case at trial and can finally let go of this fear.
i was neutral the whole time. never joined up. Treat everyone(guards, staff and inmates) with respect. Help those less fortunate than you. Rise to any personal challenge to your person. Find a non destructive hobby. No one will touch you, because they are all either your friends or respect you or the very least fear the people who call you friend.
but your mind can make you feel like your in prison. with all that pleasure and drugs and being lazy, depression kicks in and shit. so yea i know what you mean but its all in the your inner self. lets kick life ass and get where we wanna get!
Also,you don't have a terminal illness(I'm guessing)and you live in a first-world,free democratic country where you're free to do whatever you want(outside of hurting anyone or doing anything illegal that would land you in prison).Life could be a lot worse.
The last part about bar fights struck a cord with me. I walked away from a street fight a few months ago. I'm a big guy with 10+ years of boxing behind me. I wasn't in the mood, and just walked off. I spent weeks feeling like a pu$$y, but this video reminded me I made the right decisions. It aint worth it for your ego.
Its like when youre carrying a gun. Thats when you have to go out of your way even if it means looling like a pussy to leave things alone and make sure everybody leaves safe.. Because its not worth it. When you have a gun you have to be the responsible one because you already know youre not in danger.
10 years boxing and you walked away? You should have the confidence to run away. Unless you're in a college town or in school, or some other sandbox, running is better because you don't have to hear them mock you.
Oldest brother was in and out of prison for like 15 years. 2 year stretch here....3 there.....19 months etc. Drugs messed him up. He told me about the gang he participated in Wasco and after his last stretch he vowed to never go back. He's been stone cold sober almost 10 years now, he's a trucker and has his own house....proud of him
Jackson Winkleson he WAS a piece of shit. The way he talks about himself is just him talking about how he was in prison, because he had to be that way.
I still clearly remember a similar talk/lecture two inmates gave to my class back when I was in 8th grade - and that was in '85. They were very matter of fact and even brought actual shanks etc to show and pass around - it was one of those 'damn!' moments in life.
I like many of his points, but, this one is wrong. My buddy runs Bibb County Correctional. Juan Zapata. You absolutely have a choice. He'd be a Hall of Famer there if they allowed such a thing. You absolutely do NOT have to join, IF, you are the baddest dude in the yard. You do what you want. Now he just proselytizes and philosophizes with the other inmates.
Yeah but when you don't stand up for yourself is when you start getting targeted and become the prison bitch. There is a tight rope of being a suspecting tough guy as well as not being a complete loud mouth tough guy that you gotta walk.
It's designed that way. Once you are in the system, they got you with a stranglehold by the balls. In the federal prison system the government actually has a contract with private organizations and the government has a very high offender percentage quota they must maintain. The quota is An alarming and very high number
@@WhoThisMonkey makes sense yeah, I’m sure it does to some degree. But with the privatised system over there and the absurd charges people are slapped with (mostly being applied to black people) it’s an ugly beast with profit/slavery at its core
I’m Brazilian, never been in jail or prison, but I always had friends who were about that life (even the almost 5 years I’ve lived in the USA ive become friends with some real dudes) and from everything I’ve heard from both Brazilian and American criminals who did time I believe Wes 100%. All of them admitted they cried a lot when in there, and these were the most hardcore mofos I’ve ever met in my life. That shit must really be hell on earth.
They posion are brains from childhood. Never understood why humans don't stand together. We rather fight eachother for nothing. You don't own a thing in prison and why would you wanna own anything from prison. Stand together 💯
@@AverageAlien I mean just don’t commit crimes and most likely you won’t have to worry about going to jail/prison. I think the state is not evil for punishing those who deserve.
@Dan that is true, but this happens because certain groups are more prone to committing crimes. Like I said: don’t commit crimes and most likely you won’t have to worry about jail. I couldn’t care less about which group is more likely to get arrested. If they’re committing crimes then they don’t get to complain. I only care about the suffering of the victims not of the criminals (unless they’re in jail for petty crimes)
@@plaid13 But aren´t prisons also overpopulated? I´m not from USA so I don´t know for sure but where I live there are constant complaints about too many convicts and not enough places to imprison them in.
This guy does a good job of making prison out as the unbearable hell that it is. Much respect to you Mr. Watson, for bringing something positive out of a horrible situation.
I'm not from the U.S. but I think that men like Mr. Watson, whatever he did in his past, are kind of national treasure nowadays. I wish him all the health and happiness.
If you forreal stayed by his side, supported him, and never cheated on him the whole time, then you got all my respect. Theres nothing more valuable and precious than a down ass loyal woman. Hella props. Be proud of that shit.
This dude is for real. It's true I would be in tears if I went to prison. He's giving good advice he's passed all that prison life good for him. Shout out to this dude
I look like a middle class golf pro. I did 3 years. I was on the how squad for 2 hot summers. I don’t look like a convict but I am no less of one and no less Real.
In Youth Authority I saw my friend from the outside who was white, (I’m Mexican). And when I realized I couldn’t talk to him no more, I couldn’t stop crying I wanted to say “wassup G dog how u doing?” But my people would check me if I did Gangs are a virus that force you to have an *us versus them* mentality It brings nothing but pain and sadness I never saw him again after my term finished Sometimes I wonder if he’s doing alright.....and if he’s staying out of trouble. I wish I could go back in time to when we were innocent little kids
Friends are friends my brother, I'm sure u think back on the fun and good times u shared with your mate, and how it would be cool to have a laugh again. Reach out brother life is to short, stay safe, jah bless and Kia ora from new zealand
You right. Gangs nowadays just peddle drugs and kill each other. Back when gangs first started, the were originally meant to be the neighborhood crime enforcers. They would kill people that needed to be killed. Now it's just a pointless lifestyle people either do for fun or are just born into.

I’ve been hit blind like that and had the a similar thing happen as to that coco guy. Because you don’t see the punch coming you don’t flinch and all of the force goes right into where it lands. I got hit just under my right eye: cracked my cheekbone, shattered the shell behind my eyeball, which tore a hole in my cranium. My eye was filled with blood for a month, I had brain fluid leaking from my nose, couldn’t talk properly at times, dizziness, couldn’t be outside because the sun hurt my eyes, and I started having vivid dreams. Doctor literally told me that there was shit they could do about any of it. Turns out dude mistook me for another guy. Cops got called, accosted me at my home the next day and told me not to do anything stupid and that they would handle it. Bitches didn’t handle shit other than making it clear they would know exactly where to go if the guy had an accident.
clicking on rocks Damn dude agility and mining?! The two worst to level other than runecrafting. You're crazy haha. I've just been doing slayer a lot, 90 attk, 91 str, 81 def, 94 range, and 90 slayer. Been doing a lot of farming and herb too. 89 farming and 80 herb. I need to do agility and mining. My mining is like 65 and my agility is 62 for the konar shortcut lol. I just started playing again like 9-10 months ago.
I really miss these older Wes videos where he didn't play it so intense. I still love the message, but I like to just hear him out without the intense theatrics. Wes, if you read this, much respect to you for the positive changes you've made.
I was watching another video, by a vet, about what versa are like when they come home from active duty. I hadn't really thought about it, I've been around some, they're high strung, feel strongly about what seems/ or are small issues... but.. they yell alot, and they are hard of hearing... obviously this isn't always the case, just something to keep in mind. Not angry or alpha, just maybe have had a few of their 6 senses desensitized.
What the hell kind of Role Models you have in your life that you think this guy is a good individual disguise a monster just look at what he got into prison for in the first place you don't exactly go to prison for being a nice guy
That's the thing about life. No matter how big and buff, strong and tough, or billy bad azz you get you can not overpower a whole community full of people whose numbers advantage basically gives them authority over you which is why you got to act right at all times wherever you're at.
2 years for growing weed and ended up catching 15 more? FFFUUUCCCKKK!! I never thought I'd be saying this, but my 9 to 5 doesn't seem that bad. Keep the good content coming, Wes. Love the positive energy--only 2 videos and you got close to 10k subscribers? Awesome....👍🏾
Dude, go to Fresh Out with Big Herc, and check OG Badger's story. Dude went in for driving on a suspended, and ends up doing 20+ ...insane how that works. Its crazy to, because Cali seems to be so liberal and lax on laws, except for their inmates - I have known guys out here on the East Coast who go in for 2-3 years and only get a few months added for violent assaults and such. I might be wrong but Cali seems to want to keep these guys in forever. If there ever was an example of the prison industrial complex, CA would be it.
Coward bullshit. I've done state in Florence, AZ and Fed in Edgefield, SC. You try to tell me how to live I'll stab you in the fucking throat. Fuck gangs.
I was very fortunate not to have needed to join a gang as a latino male. Everyday, someone would ask me to join the family. I refused everyday until I finally told the recruit that I was going to roll solo. No one ever approached me on the chow line ever again to join the family. But for the rest of my time, I slept with both eyes open because now I knew refusing the gang invitation, I had no protection from anyone. Someone was looking over me in prison. That is all I can say.
I love how he emphasizes his biggest point which is just "don't go to prison" lol. His advise can help you when you're in but you should strive to just not end up there in the first place.
"That's how quick your gay-ass beef.....turns into a life sentence!" Everybody thinks they're bad until they meet the next one with nothing to lose! PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE! Thanks again, Wes!🤘🤘
Mor Tician agreed. But itd be cooler if he could say it without the homophobic slur. Also, I’ve been to prison in California. And if ur not using hard drugs in there and not tryna hangout with the clearly bad eggs then you’ll be fine. Stay away from guys with nazi tattoos and stay the fuck away from the skin heads. Don’t talk tough to look cool, Someone will try you. And that person will be the same color as you. Easy time on a level 2 if u do ur thing and stay aware 😊
Texas prisons are hell. 50 men to a pod, 4 pods to a unit. One Guard to the whole thing. No A/c. They run fans up high like they do for cattle in barns. They sell personal fans on commissary. No pay for work. Disgusting facility. Fights damn near daily and looked over. Don't commit crime in Texas.
Hey Wes , Jay from South Philly here and i just wanna say bro im happy to see where your mind is today opposed to when you did your bid, your a very intelligent dude man wish all the best for you brother
What type of “brotherhood” sends a person who has a two years sentence , to commit violence and possibly get more time. It shows you that things aren’t what really what they tell you
Antonio Zavala or 1500 with custom body, full matching interior, SUV modified, off road deep dish rims, big shocks and shock absorbers showing through the custom bumper matching the body paint, everything kitted from handles to gas cap. Thats alot of hard work and reason to not lose it.
He's real. No bullshti, no facade. Isn't trying to act like he's more than he is, isn't trying to act like he's less than he is. Isn't trying to hide anything, isn't trying to uplift anything. Just being 100% real true to himself and about himself, and nowadays, that's rare. And that's what I strive to be in life as well, just be real, just be exactly how I am and not feel the need to lie or front about nothing. And if someone doesn't like me for who or what I am, then I don't need them in my life anyway. Plenty of fakes come and go, but the sooner they go the better.
I feel like he just watched too many movies. Also I don't know where he went to prison but a lot of what he's saying isn't I was cut and dry as you would think. You can get through your time without joining a gang. You might have to have affiliation but you don't necessarily have to get put down or do their bidding.
Michael Valentine I haven’t seen none of this dude’s other videos but damn this guy is 100% real. In reception there were two white boys who one had no paperwork, and the other had bad paperwork (elder abuse). Each one got the shit beat out of them by their counties. I never caused problems and I still got my ass beat over a card game by somebody who called me out over a miscount I had already corrected. He wasn’t the scariest dude ever as described in the video, but he was no smaller. He expected me to roll it up but I went to his cell and got knocked the f out. My lips busted open, chipped a tooth, split my head open. He was surprised and I think just expected me to roll it up so he wouldn’t have as strong of a poker competitor. After I was helped to the shower to clean myself up (open day room, level-three cell living). We fought right at the top of the hour when his unlock happened in his cell before they got back around to close the doors after unlocking the top tier. I could either go to the cops and later get my ass beat for the rest of my term by people seeing me as an easy target. Or I could fight the guy twice my size who I know will definitely fuck me up but people will see that I’m not an easy target and will fight to defend my own. So I got knocked the fuck out. Afterwards as I was cleaning myself up the guy came up and gave me a fist bump and said, “Hey, it’s all love” (people in prison use that term generously). I said, “No, it’s not. But you got me, no need for us to say anything more about it.” So, he said alright and we left it at that. I had to stay in my cell for a few days before I could let the guards see any injury to me, wearing a beanie so they wouldn’t see the cut above my eyebrow during count times. A few days later when some healing had taken place I could write it off as injury that happened when I slipped in my cell working out, which they have no other evidence to question it as it wasn’t severe enough to warrant investigating all the other inmates in the block. A couple days after that I returned to the poker table with the condition that I would no longer be the banker for the table when my turn would come up. A month later I transferred but the story followed me and that was the last fight I got into for the remaining three years of my term.
I gotta thank you for these videos man. I have been in a bad way of drinking and fighting on Friday nights at bars and my charges have been adding up. Judge told me if he sees me again it’s at least 8 years for me. I thought I was hard and didn’t give a fuck till I watched you’re vids. Truly helped me put my shit in perspective. Thanks man
Came here from," Fresh Out," channel. What an amazing point of view you gave there on his channel. I'm intrigued because the way you're able to convey your thoughts. It drives the message home and its sincere. Subbed.
Wow ! It takes a strong person to come out of prison in one piece both physically and mentally. It takes a strength of a higher order to remove yourself from this cycle. Even stronger to care enough about others by making this video.
Watching this gave me alot of feelings man. 12 years in walla walla opened my eyes and closed my heart. I'm working on fixing the latter. I like your delivery and appreciate your message. If it could save just 1 trainwreck it's been worth it. L&R brother!!
Remember that you don’t attract what you want, you attract who you are. So focus on love. Focus on happiness. Focus on feeling fulfilled and like you already have everything you’ve ever wanted. Focus on gratitude. You are a powerful source of energy. When you do this, you will get what you want because you are in alignment and focusing on all you have instead of a lack. Just know you have everything you have ever wanted. It’s already yours . Be joyful! Sending loving energy to you all. ❤️
It's honestly really sad how you can be in for something small and for a short time, and a shot caller or whatever puts you up for a task that quadruples your time, just like what happened in this story. No one in prison is "kind". Seems like they do that stuff to people with a short sentence just so you'll have a miserable life, too. I'm glad I never ended up in prison. It's really, really easy to end up there.
That's why there's a unwritten rule to never tell if you are going out soon or generally how much your sentence last. They can't wait to make you stay couple years more :p
Just stumbled across your page yesterday, I wound up watching a lot of your posts, Good on you for telling it how it is ! You make some great points mate ! All the best ! Jarrad 🇦🇺 Perth Western Australia
I'm Retired prison guard 30 years 5 years county 15 years state 10 Federal. I will personally vouch for everything this man just spoke of. But he's also putting it very lightly some & most cases are extremely violent.
The best role models aren't those who've lived perfect lives but those who have the willpower to pull themselves out of crime to a better way of life. Really appreciate these videos scaring people straight.

I see Wes on Instagram every day now and it is crazy how much he has changed. I used to watch all of his first year RUclips videos but bought a small farm 27 months ago and life got busier than I expected. So just in the past 6 months have I caught back up with some of the people I used to follow and they have all really changed in one way or another. Except Captain Drone, he is still about the same with the same style Remote Control hobby videos.
@@fastdriving6321 Lol. Only coward is your bitch ass talking shit on the internet. Wes is certified. Has no reason to lie or make shit up fool. Your just another fuck boy.
Same here. Almost went down for some crazy stuff, was looking at 3-5. Thankfully I beat the charge and have given up fighting people.. Even if they deserve it. Well, my dad made me promise to stop and it's been 12 years on the right path now. Now I just beat everyone at arm wrestling. Lol
So he says stick to your own race but dosnt say anything about being forced to join gangs. Any suggestions for me if I had to go ? I was in jail it was no big deal but prison sounds scary at least state prisons on the west coast. Low level feds sound manageable. I beat a aggravated assault case I heard the prisons for violent offenders are worse which just sounds terrible honestly I'll admit it. Any advice
UGA 4EVER This man definitely knows what he’s talking about. I did a dozen years for manslaughter, and wrapped up 28 years ago. Gangs were not so prevalent in the 80s in Massachusetts prisons, But you still have the Aryan brotherhood, the Sunni Muslim brotherhood and other groups. I shanked the biggest black dude in one of the prisons, they had my ass back in Walpole in under three hours. About half a dozen white dudes came to my cell and said “you’re with us.” They claimed to be the Aryan brotherhood, and I knew I had no choice. You do what you have to do to survive, and these men made sure I was not a medal on some black dude’s chest. Like I said, I’ve been out for 28 years, and gangs seem to be everything now. Take this man’s advice, and be allegiant to those that are allegiant to you… Otherwise, you may not make it out. P.S..... don’t ever compare jail to prison. In jail, they are all small timers. In prison, as much as 3/4 of the population is facing life. The smallest sign of disrespect Can cost you your life.
@Beetlejuice “How hard is it to avoid NOT getting raped in prison?” Is that a serious question...? I would think you would want to avoid GETTING raped in prison!

@Ja Caff yeah definatly. I did 60 days at a detention center once. I know thats nothing but i missed my family and dogs and girlfriend so much during that time i cant imagine ever doing more then that
@Green Mills I agree man I was actually a smart kid with my head on my shoulders in my teens, went into the military etc... drinking and women have got me into bad spots in my 20s. I need to hear this now.
Hey, I like this dude. I’m in recovery from addiction. I’ve been to jail and prison. I like little reminders like this as to why I don’t play games with my life anymore.

@@AverageAlien I mean just don’t commit crimes and most likely you won’t have to worry about going to jail/prison. I think the state is not evil for punishing those who deserve.
@Dan that is true, but this happens because certain groups are more prone to committing crimes. Like I said: don’t commit crimes and most likely you won’t have to worry about jail. I couldn’t care less about which group is more likely to get arrested. If they’re committing crimes then they don’t get to complain. I only care about the suffering of the victims not of the criminals (unless they’re in jail for petty crimes)
lol, it's almost like prison was made to keep people in jail.
Pointless "rehabilitation"
Very good.
Reform has been politicized too much.
No one ever claimed it was rehab. It’s a business.

This guy does a good job of making prison out as the unbearable hell that it is. Much respect to you Mr. Watson, for bringing something positive out of a horrible situation.
I'm not from the U.S. but I think that men like Mr. Watson, whatever he did in his past, are kind of national treasure nowadays. I wish him all the health and happiness.

Gangs are a virus that force you to have an *us versus them* mentality
It brings nothing but pain and sadness
I never saw him again after my term finished
Sometimes I wonder if he’s doing alright.....and if he’s staying out of trouble. I wish I could go back in time to when we were innocent little kids
Friends are friends my brother, I'm sure u think back on the fun and good times u shared with your mate, and how it would be cool to have a laugh again. Reach out brother life is to short, stay safe, jah bless and Kia ora from new zealand
You right. Gangs nowadays just peddle drugs and kill each other. Back when gangs first started, the were originally meant to be the neighborhood crime enforcers. They would kill people that needed to be killed. Now it's just a pointless lifestyle people either do for fun or are just born into.
Sometimes I would wonder if he cried for me too we were like brothers from another mother 😥

Amazing. This guy literally learned from mistakes. Uncommon.
I’ve been hit blind like that and had the a similar thing happen as to that coco guy. Because you don’t see the punch coming you don’t flinch and all of the force goes right into where it lands. I got hit just under my right eye: cracked my cheekbone, shattered the shell behind my eyeball, which tore a hole in my cranium. My eye was filled with blood for a month, I had brain fluid leaking from my nose, couldn’t talk properly at times, dizziness, couldn’t be outside because the sun hurt my eyes, and I started having vivid dreams.
Doctor literally told me that there was shit they could do about any of it.
Turns out dude mistook me for another guy. Cops got called, accosted me at my home the next day and told me not to do anything stupid and that they would handle it.

He's speaking like a normal human here. Very little yelling. A relief indeed.
Yeah the yelling can get a bit much sometimes.
Especially when he just repeats the same shit over and over. ONLY YOU CAN MAKE YOUR LIFE BETTER!!
No way. Depending on the video his demeanor yelling is the icing on the cake or the whole fucking cake.
I was watching another video, by a vet, about what versa are like when they come home from active duty. I hadn't really thought about it, I've been around some, they're high strung, feel strongly about what seems/ or are small issues... but.. they yell alot, and they are hard of hearing... obviously this isn't always the case, just something to keep in mind.

Dude, go to Fresh Out with Big Herc, and check OG Badger's story. Dude went in for driving on a suspended, and ends up doing 20+ ...insane how that works. Its crazy to, because Cali seems to be so liberal and lax on laws, except for their inmates - I have known guys out here on the East Coast who go in for 2-3 years and only get a few months added for violent assaults and such. I might be wrong but Cali seems to want to keep these guys in forever. If there ever was an example of the prison industrial complex, CA would be it.
Yeah that's the point. Dont break the law it's not worth it.

Fuck gangs.
Master Sergeant ... he’s a criminal, nothing more or less
I was very fortunate not to have needed to join a gang as a latino male. Everyday, someone would ask me to join the family. I refused everyday until I finally told the recruit that I was going to roll solo. No one ever approached me on the chow line ever again to join the family. But for the rest of my time, I slept with both eyes open because now I knew refusing the gang invitation, I had no protection from anyone. Someone was looking over me in prison. That is all I can say.
I love how he emphasizes his biggest point which is just "don't go to prison" lol. His advise can help you when you're in but you should strive to just not end up there in the first place.
"That's how quick your gay-ass beef.....turns into a life sentence!" Everybody thinks they're bad until they meet the next one with nothing to lose! PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE! Thanks again, Wes!🤘🤘

Something about your energy and delivery Wes, pretty damn captivating. Thanks a lot for sharing your stories and keep them coming.
He's real. No bullshti, no facade. Isn't trying to act like he's more than he is, isn't trying to act like he's less than he is. Isn't trying to hide anything, isn't trying to uplift anything. Just being 100% real true to himself and about himself, and nowadays, that's rare. And that's what I strive to be in life as well, just be real, just be exactly how I am and not feel the need to lie or front about nothing. And if someone doesn't like me for who or what I am, then I don't need them in my life anyway. Plenty of fakes come and go, but the sooner they go the better.
I feel like he just watched too many movies. Also I don't know where he went to prison but a lot of what he's saying isn't I was cut and dry as you would think. You can get through your time without joining a gang. You might have to have affiliation but you don't necessarily have to get put down or do their bidding.
you're broke and still live with your parent,s little girl like you dream about being dominated by monsters like us

I haven’t seen none of this dude’s other videos but damn this guy is 100% real. In reception there were two white boys who one had no paperwork, and the other had bad paperwork (elder abuse). Each one got the shit beat out of them by their counties. I never caused problems and I still got my ass beat over a card game by somebody who called me out over a miscount I had already corrected. He wasn’t the scariest dude ever as described in the video, but he was no smaller. He expected me to roll it up but I went to his cell and got knocked the f out. My lips busted open, chipped a tooth, split my head open. He was surprised and I think just expected me to roll it up so he wouldn’t have as strong of a poker competitor. After I was helped to the shower to clean myself up (open day room, level-three cell living). We fought right at the top of the hour when his unlock happened in his cell before they got back around to close the doors after unlocking the top tier. I could either go to the cops and later get my ass beat for the rest of my term by people seeing me as an easy target. Or I could fight the guy twice my size who I know will definitely fuck me up but people will see that I’m not an easy target and will fight to defend my own. So I got knocked the fuck out. Afterwards as I was cleaning myself up the guy came up and gave me a fist bump and said, “Hey, it’s all love” (people in prison use that term generously). I said, “No, it’s not. But you got me, no need for us to say anything more about it.” So, he said alright and we left it at that. I had to stay in my cell for a few days before I could let the guards see any injury to me, wearing a beanie so they wouldn’t see the cut above my eyebrow during count times. A few days later when some healing had taken place I could write it off as injury that happened when I slipped in my cell working out, which they have no other evidence to question it as it wasn’t severe enough to warrant investigating all the other inmates in the block. A couple days after that I returned to the poker table with the condition that I would no longer be the banker for the table when my turn would come up. A month later I transferred but the story followed me and that was the last fight I got into for the remaining three years of my term.
He is gotta be top 3 realist MF on RUclips/social media. Giving people the game!
You can tell homie is solid. Love the stories bro keep em coming
Good advice. Thanks for keeping it real. I hope young people see this, take it seriously and learn from your mistakes.
I gotta thank you for these videos man. I have been in a bad way of drinking and fighting on Friday nights at bars and my charges have been adding up. Judge told me if he sees me again it’s at least 8 years for me. I thought I was hard and didn’t give a fuck till I watched you’re vids. Truly helped me put my shit in perspective. Thanks man

Came here from," Fresh Out," channel. What an amazing point of view you gave there on his channel. I'm intrigued because the way you're able to convey your thoughts. It drives the message home and its sincere.
Subbed.
Wow ! It takes a strong person to come out of prison in one piece both physically and mentally. It takes a strength of a higher order to remove yourself from this cycle. Even stronger to care enough about others by making this video.
I was a subscriber of this channel when he had just under a thousand subs. Hes the prison GOAT
Watching this gave me alot of feelings man. 12 years in walla walla opened my eyes and closed my heart.
I'm working on fixing the latter. I like your delivery and appreciate your message. If it could save just 1 trainwreck it's been worth it.

Can't wait for more content in to see your channel grow bro. Much love and respect
No one tells a story like Wes. This is how you get subs. Good, concise videos, told by a real deal dude.
Remember that you don’t attract what you want, you attract who you are. So focus on love. Focus on happiness. Focus on feeling fulfilled and like you already have everything you’ve ever wanted. Focus on gratitude. You are a powerful source of energy. When you do this, you will get what you want because you are in alignment and focusing on all you have instead of a lack. Just know you have everything you have ever wanted. It’s already yours . Be joyful! Sending loving energy to you all. ❤️
Dude you're one of the best speakers I've ever heard.
It's honestly really sad how you can be in for something small and for a short time, and a shot caller or whatever puts you up for a task that quadruples your time, just like what happened in this story.
No one in prison is "kind". Seems like they do that stuff to people with a short sentence just so you'll have a miserable life, too.
I'm glad I never ended up in prison. It's really, really easy to end up there.
That's why there's a unwritten rule to never tell if you are going out soon or generally how much your sentence last. They can't wait to make you stay couple years more :p
Da dam for real? what if they force you to tell? or accuse you of lying or not being truthful? Then what? Just wondering lol

He's dead balls on accurate about everything he's saying. I've done a little time myself
So he says stick to your own race but dosnt say anything about being forced to join gangs. Any suggestions for me if I had to go ? I was in jail it was no big deal but prison sounds scary at least state prisons on the west coast. Low level feds sound manageable. I beat a aggravated assault case I heard the prisons for violent offenders are worse which just sounds terrible honestly I'll admit it. Any advice
UGA 4EVER This man definitely knows what he’s talking about. I did a dozen years for manslaughter, and wrapped up 28 years ago. Gangs were not so prevalent in the 80s in Massachusetts prisons, But you still have the Aryan brotherhood, the Sunni Muslim brotherhood and other groups. I shanked the biggest black dude in one of the prisons, they had my ass back in Walpole in under three hours. About half a dozen white dudes came to my cell and said “you’re with us.” They claimed to be the Aryan brotherhood, and I knew I had no choice. You do what you have to do to survive, and these men made sure I was not a medal on some black dude’s chest. Like I said, I’ve been out for 28 years, and gangs seem to be everything now. Take this man’s advice, and be allegiant to those that are allegiant to you… Otherwise, you may not make it out.
P.S..... don’t ever compare jail to prison. In jail, they are all small timers. In prison, as much as 3/4 of the population is facing life. The smallest sign of disrespect Can cost you your life.
