      Well done and respect to you Suave, only the Lord can give us the power we need, I am not from the US and I really battle to understand, is it possible that you can explain the difference between a state prison and federal prison? And is there other types of prisons? We have only one type and it is called Prison. Depending on your crime there is certain sections that you will be kept in while doing your time, from my understanding. If you don't mind to explain the different type of facilities. But once again respect man and I pray that life don't force you on to any wrong path's. Life can be tuff. Nope life is tuff yes?

    I wish that after a while felonies are removed from our records. I haven't been down in almost 10 years and my felonies hold me back from alot of stuff. Housing, and jobs. It makes it tough to navigate through life. I live on my uncles land now and I'm a kitchen manager but I recently had an interview at a university for maintenance. The job had retirement and benefits. I was hired and then they ran my background. Back to the kitchen I went. I deserve a chance at a normal life. So does my 6 year old daughter

      If youre interested in french jail system (yes i eat baguette and fromage oui oui Paris l'amour - seriously im French, i hate Paris btw), it may be hard to find and need some web-digging to get ENG subtitles, I recommand "Des hommes" ("Men") about Marseille's main jail, the Baumettes, and "A l'ombre de la République" ("Shadow of the Republic"), about 3 different jails + a psychiatric hospital.

    In 1999, my favorite second cousin was released after doing 15 years. I got him a job and some clothes. One of the things I remembered is that he was in a hurry to do everything . I was young at the time and I was not aware of how valuable "time" is. I thought that providing him with a job(money) was something that should have satisfied him completely; that is when I learned that time is something that you never get back. I hope this brother at the end of the video is still on the streets. By the way, my cousin did NOT reoffend and has been on the streets for over 20 years.

    As a lifelong convict who did 21 yrs in prison including a 10 yr flat federal bid, I honestly believe that the prison system is a major contributor or one of the biggest reason racism is still a problem in America! No where else in America is the "politics" absolutely broken down into races and litteral segregation. Take that and understand that also we are seeing hip-hop take over the world literally. Why I bring this up is because in rap and just the whole street culture in general prison is basically glorified and used as a badge or stripes for someone who has been locked up. So it all comes to get her and it has seriously made going to prison acceptable by a massive culture. And what I will say is that the prisons absolutely have the power to stop the "racial divide" and stop the politics of race in prison. Now of course it won't be easy especially since the politics have been controlling the prisons for probly as long as they have been open. I blame the system for that. They could have made it so there was no "choice" as far as who you are around and who you associate with. But they knew if they did that it would make as much money as the way it is now, where people come in with five years and end up catching life because of the racial bullshit and the gang violence.it can definitely be fixed and changed but I doubt it will ever happen because why make these men better people who won't keep getting locked up when they can just throw you in a death trap where they let gangs destroy each other's lives while guaranteeing the prisons stay full so the jobs are secure

    I went to prison a few times when I was 19, 23 and 29, all three times were isolated incidences in which case I got too drunk, decided to use and ended up stealing and got caught, I've stolen a lot of stuff from grocery stores and what not and I'm not proud of it. When I stay sober, as I have been for 4 years, I'm completely honest, it's only when I got too waisted that I would occasionally steal because the alcohol gave me a sense of not caring. It's not who I genuinely am when I do those things but I was caught 3 times and spent a total of 56 months here and there. Now to be called a burglar when I was simply waisted, made a bad choice and stole some tools from an open garage is not something I can accept. I quit drinking and stopped stealing 12 years ago and I was never a career criminal I simply got caught a few times when I was drunk, I woke up in jail saying, wtf is wrong with me? I paid my debt to society and refuse to be called a burglar or Career criminal. Thanks to GOD for allowing me to get and remain sober.

      Keep it up homie! You’re doing a great job, and taking accountability for our parts in the mistakes we’ve made is the first step to constructing a strong and sturdy foundation for true growth and a life that isn’t dictated by drug use and irreparable, past mistakes. One of the most valuable clichés I’ve ever heard is this: “imagine you’re driving down a long road and all you can see is the open road ahead of you through the from the driver’s seat, and you can also see the small review mirror. Keep your eye set on the road, or else you may crash, but be sure to peek at the rear view mirror every so often to make sure you are not blocking anyone off and make sure to check said mirrors before changing lanes.”
      In short: if you feel that you’re more prone to a relapse or a slip, play the entire tape back in your head of the last time you hit rock bottom, but don’t allow your past mistakes to shape the trajectory of your future.
      Always remember, you can’t change anything other than your own reaction and actions. Making sure you don’t downplay your parts in the situations you go through is a golden rule in recovery. If you’re not honest to the fullest extent, you’re shooting yourself in the foot!
      If you realize that alcohol is the stepping stone that leads to your stealing, keep that in your mind before picking up drugs and/or alcohol again.
      Sorry, I hope this doesn’t sound like I’m trying to run your recovery for you lol, I just had to respond with something positive after reading the dumb response from this other commenter 😅

    America probably have one of the worst prison systems in the world. The point of going to prison is to rehabilitate, but in US its more about punishing the crimes. When criminals get out of prison in US there is about 75% chance that they end back in prison again within 3 years. Compare that to Norway for example and the rate is under 20% per criminal.

The system is healing. Also, too be fair, Norway's population only accounts for about 2% of America's population so less influence, less crooked minds, and America's amendments, such as the right to bear arms, allows for more room for mistakes to be made. I am most certainly not disagreeing with you but merely making an observation for myself.

    finally i received a treatment sentence...1.5 years of intense drug court, 9 months halfway house, 6 months house arrest, 6 months thinking for a change classes, and 500 hrs community service. i havent been in trouble since and its been almost 4 yrs. ive held my job almost 4 years, have my own home, i now have a 2 yr old son that is my whole world, im engaged to an amazing woman, i own a 2005 chevy cobalt, 2007 aqua blue Charger on 22s, a 2002 chevy malibu, and i have peace and serenity. life is easier now. no more stress being incarcerated. no more homelessness. i work hard, pay taxes, stay out of trouble, help ppl, and dont harm anybody

      incarceration is not the answer in most cases. i battled a drug addiction and poor economic situation. finally i received treatment and changed my life. i dont depend on govt. programs or tax dollars to support myself or my family.
      after 21 arrests nothing had changed. the first time i received treatment, everything changed for the best.

      No such thing as victimless crimes. Theft has victims.. even if from a business because prices are increased across the board to accommodate the items stolen, loss prevention staffing, insurance to cover the bigger items etc. And drug offenses are absolutely not victimless. Demand fuels the gangs and street violence, people steal to get drugs, police/paramedics/hospitals need to be staffed to take care of the crime, overdoses, accidents etc. associated with drugs.

Some people are able to do it, and raise their children. The point is that having a child is not what makes you a parent, but raising one is, so unless you have some direct information showing that the young man in the video is a "bad parent" you need to stfu. If you can not be happy for someone that had a child, than you need to take a look at your own life, in which you probably will wait till you are 35-40 years old, did everything in your life as a plan and than had a kid (nothing wrong with this but then do not judge others by what you think is right)

"Why are you doing this? you don't use, you don't have a gang you gotta go back to on the street. Why are you here" and the next day I dropped out. I did another year in the SHU after that, but that turned my life around. I went in at 17. No affiliations. I've been out almost 10 years now. Getting out was the weirdest feeling. Getting treated normal and not like an animal. Having restraints off. You get so used to being treated like a rabid dog its weird when people dont.

      Asians are generally pretty great people, it's a shame they have faced so much discrimination in America.

      I don't feel sorry for you. You're the dumb ass that made those poor choices. There is jobs out there you just need to look harder and not be a lazy ass. Nobody is going to hire a felon because felons cannot be trusted and are trouble makers. In my opinion you're a worthless person taking up space in this society. You should just move to another country like China. There's jobs there.

    I hope the interviewer recognizes that Juwan made a personal sacrifice by allowing him to pervade the "moment" he had been dreaming about for 15 years. If by doing so it helped better convey his message to the 1.3 million that viewed this perhaps it was worth it, but it was still difficult to watch.
