- Peter Ouko spent 18 years in Kamiti Prison in Kenya, sometimes locked up in a cell with 13 other grown men for 23 and a half hours a day. In a moving talk, he tells the story of how he was freed -- and his current mission with the African Prisons Project: to set up the first law school behind bars and empower people in prison to drive positive change.

This man earned his law degree behind bars and here is I.., even after being blessed abundantly am not able to finish my management degree. But now I must say that I can't find excuses because if this great man can do it then it's my duty to finish mine and help others
Where there's a will, there's a way. He just told you to change your mind. ;-)
Get on the ball binit
Binit Francis right on hun!
I'll be brief I hope you keep it in your heart. I've been 16 years without completing my last year of high school here in Brazil. I left out these negative words and in 2013 I did a Federal test to which besides obtaining my certificate this same test granted me a full management scholarship. I am now in the last semester of the course. And I'm starting a master's degree. Never give up your dreams. With God everything is possible.
PSICO Thank you for sharing your story... It feels good when you know that you are not alone and whatever you think is impossible, can be done if put hard work
Peter Ouko, so proud of you! I first watched the clip while you were in prison. I saw a comment that you are free. Then I stumbled on this. Super proud of you. Your poise, confidence, drive....you are remarkable! Truly - the human spirit is unbreakable.
Thanks Brenda. Humbled. Actually the one you watched was a TEDx I did in prison. Thanks for your kind words
It's unbelievable what a person is able to cope with. You always think "No, I can't take this, this is way to much for me to deal with." But the end, you HAVE to go through it AND you'll make it.
I was just telling myself that this morning. I have to go through it to get to the other side.
Im crying my eyes out.. Ty so much for your talk patience and forgiveness. . much love and power for you and yours
This is so inspiring.
He nailed it.
What a man.
Also, his outfit is out of this world.
This is really inspiring. I wish Peter good luck in his future.
Thanks Audrey. Doing our bit at www.crimesipoa.org
That's a spiritual story that inspire the humanity to reach progress levels in this life.
This is an awesome video! Thank you for doing it.
Heart braking and inspiring at the same time
Soo proud of you my boss
Omg. This gave me so much inspiration.
Bless you more.
Wow! God bless! Amazing story!!!!
this was beautiful. none of that black lives matter bs but a story about hard work paying off.
Destiny cant be changed this is what most people dont believe in. As human beings we are too afraid to do things in life thinking we will fail as if we control future outcomes.
Wow... congratulations peter.watching this in 2020
So touching and inspiring
Nailed it.
You are not the one who says thank you, but we are the ones who should tell you thank you for this speech, which actually influenced not only negative, but positive and motivational 😀
Peter Ouko Thank you for making my day better. You do not know how much you like your words. Of course, we must continue to try to make the world better
Amazing & beautiful lecture!! 😏
Peter Ouko Semantics, I'm a Active Duty Army Veteran, FELON, Blood, WHILE LOCKED UP, became a Home Inspector.. Have you ever had a Bloody shank in one pocket for Safety, & a pen in the other to reach your Potential (I'm sure you have 😐) , or did the semantics just tickle u, lecture compared talk, really really lol ;-)
Well done Peter Ouko!
Thanks loads Chings
Nice.thank you
So motivated
The death penalty contradicts the 8th amendment (no cruel and unusual punishments). It shouldn't be legal.
The death penalty was common and usual in the late 1700s when the constitution was written.
Getting beaten and violated in prison is also illegal, FYI
Haiser Keight Thats what Guards are for
halfwaysleet I disagree cruel and unusual would be something like drowning them or some type of torturous death.
One could argue that life in a 6x8 box is more cruel than being painlessly put to death. I know I'd probably off myself if I was sentenced to life without parole.
If you're not inspired by this i don't know what will, but what ever it takes keep moving.
Yes, sir!
From death row to taking a bath in an African Lake
Crazy.
👏👏👏
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✨
excellent English
Hey
I wish I participated in this event Arabic version because I actually have words that may inspire the world but not like your story😄
عالم الأنوثة its not too late. Go for it.
perfectly created you're right 😀

Is he a lawyer, accepted by the bar association, or did he just take some classes?
ryan smith in Kenya when one earns a degree in Law he is a lawyer. When he takes a bar exam he is an advocate.
am i the only one who understands 50% of what he says?
Yes, you are the only who understands ONLY 50%, probably less, of what he says. The rest of us, including the audience are 100% in synch with what he says.

شاب ظالم جبار لم يترك ذنب إلا وفعله وليس له من أقارب إلا أمه وذات صباح وجدته أمه ميت ذهبت لأهل القرية لتأتي بمن يغسله ويدفنه فلم يأتي معها أحد والكل كان فرحاً بموته وبعد عدة محاولات مع شيخ المسجد جاء فغسله وكفنه ولكنه لا يستطيع أن يحمله وحده للمقابر فذهب الشيخ إلى أهل القرية جميعاً لعل يجد من يحمله معه للدفن ولكن دون جدوى فأبصر الشيخ يراعي غنم غريب مرتحل فطلب منه أن يحمل معه الميت للدفن وتظل أم الشاب الميت تحرس الغنم حتي يعودو وبالفعل حمل الأثنان الميت وعندما وصلا المقابر قال الراعي هل صليتم عليه؟ فقال الشيخ لا. فقال الراعي لما لا نصلي أنا وأنت عليه ؟ فقال الشيخ صلي أنت عليه وحدك. وبالفعل صلى الراعي عليه صلاة الجنازة . ورجع الشيخ وعندما نام رأي الشاب الميت بالجنة . وظل يرى هذه الرؤية مراراً وتكراراً . وظل يتسائل كيف لمثل هذا الظالم الفاسد أن يدخل الجنة ؟ لعل هذا الراعي دعا له دعوة فاستجابها الله له. وبعد فترة أبصر الشيخ الراعي. فأسرع إليه وقال له : عندما صليت على الميت بماذا دعوت له؟ فكانت المفاجئة . قال الراعي: أنا لا أعرف أن أصلي ولكني وقفت وقلت يارب لو أن هذا الرجل ضيفي لذبحت له أفضل شاه عندي ولكنه ضيفك وأنت الكريم فتدبر أمره أنت أعلم به. فرد الشيخ وهو يبكي هذه الكلمات هي سبب دخوله الجنة.فضلاً وليس أمراً لو أعجبتك القصة ...... أكتب أسم من أسماء الله ❤❤❤

They need to change the name of this channel to "Africa talks"
Peter Ouko because every video is about Africa
Race transform run dwilzhq remote joy whole weird third defensive hero.
I'm here first
Meaning what? You want a winky dinky badge? Or control of everything? I'm not attacking, just considering the stance your words seem to be taking. ;-)
first
I didn't watch the video but the title doesn't make it sound good. "Murderer uses Legal gymnastics to get out of prison".
he was an innocent sent to jail, convicted for something he didn't do.
He didn't kill his wife
*its funny how some ppl tend to be amazed by this, but im not tbh. Anybody thats SMART can literally achieve almost anything with just a sliver of hard work. Not so smart people cant achieve great things, but I'll be more impressed when a dummy achieves something great*
and people born SMART right?
Abhishek Vishwakarma no, thats why i said it will impress me more to see a dummy become something great. Life is easier for intellectuals
It's about working hard and luck and persistence
oBlizkin the American president worked hard but look at his choices
oBlizkin black man became a rap star, behold he achieved something great, well at least to the Facebook community
Click bait.
Martez Jones what
How?
