You can see the pain and hurt in his eyes. That’s what ages him most. The years he has seen through his eyes. Even though he 20 years old.
He was in pain even at 16 years old, we were walking around the yard talking about cars and car audio systems . I remember him telling me how he missed bumping his alpine type R 12 and how he had plans to build a big system when he gets out, the kid has a good head on his shoulders and hopefully he'll be out soon
I was from a rival gang from the same town. I grew up around the time his older brother got gunned down in 2009. I think that’s what led him to follow his brothers foot steps.
Boohoo, cry me a river
Those who were born in 2006 turned 16 last year and are still 16 this year
My uncle was sentenced to life at 16 facing the death penalty. After 30 years he took his life.. rip
BiGGie beats rip to that man
Um ok
BiGGie beats RIP to your uncle my condolences! My tíos locked up too because of the wrong choices they led and it’s just a sad situation to be in because it affects everyone not just the prisoner but the family and the community
My condolences to you and your Family. May he rip🙏🏿 side note please leave uplifting positive messages ..we all could use them at some point in our lives. Blessings
RIP

It doesn’t make sense to incarcerate someone for 20 years when their 16. I mean they could do much more if you just rehabilitate them. Wasting a whole life away for no reason.
Larissa Reyes Mass incarceration at its finest.
Lina Garcia true
Rick James fr bro
I just seen a prison documentary and a guy is there for over 100 years for killing 2 people at the age of 13 he was sent to prison at 15 but was locked up since he was 13
Larissa Reyes "for no reason" smh
This dude seems smart.. 34 years old is not very old and definitely not too late.. I hope the best for homie!!
not that smart if he is in jail... lmfao

Its lads like Daniel who deserve that second chance early.
h 55 don't have a clue but atleast he admits he's done wrong and has changed his ways
h 55 but once again he accepted his crime, he changed... And no I'm not a liberal and I ain't even american but let me guess he killed a cop? That's why his sentence is so long... I don't really care for your opinion either so if you would take it elsewhere.
Lmao nope
Sushi Uchiha kids like you is sick you ain’t know his life war is the same thing in the streets so you telling me killing someone should get life so killing is killing point blank
haha this foo acted hard till he got sent to county jail after he was tried as an adult, i kno cuz i was locked up with him...long story short, he got his ass whipped 3times...twice by the same guy haha
That mindset he has , and how he wants the betterment of others, this man definitely has my respects. He used his past as a weapon and now it works for him to help others. Awesome job.
This was such a great video.. my dad was sentenced for about 10 years ,then deported & that is why I'm majoring in Criminal justice 2 years left, to help those who have committed mistakes grow into a better person. They're all people and I will always see them as that.
Yocelin Leon• youre an amazing person
Yocelin Leon• keep that career cmin we need people like u ke no!
You seem to have confused me with your daddy.
im ur daddy n respect people whom wanna b something in life i understand if u mess up once u have a 2nd chance 2 b diff. if u keep. on doun dumb shyt then yea need to pay for it
Markos Markos Markos you're really dumb.. my dad wasn't illegal dipshit. He had his residency & legally married but because of what he did they took it away and deported him. He was not a murderer if that helps. I'm majoring in that to help those WRONGFULLY sentenced. So next time worry about your useless life before commenting on what I wanna do to make a difference 😊👋
He gon' be looking like Danny Trejo by the time he gets out

On a side note, Maya is an absolute smoke-show.
good kids don't get put away in prison for 20 years.

"There's a lot more to this world than a couple streets in my town", damn.
This series has been so fascinating. It's nice to hear the stories behind the faces straight from the source.
If you're asking why they tend to be attracted to them then I assume it's the whole I can change him for the better type of mindset. Personally however there's no attraction, I'm jsut a psychology and history fan. I want to know why people do what they do and what goes through their heads to make them do it in the first place and then also how the thinking changes after. Regardless of whether it's a male, females, old or young.
behniwal08 i can tell you all about it i went to juvenille hall since the age of 14 in and out till 18 most was 2 years straight no alot but i can tell you exactly whats on our mind kept banging till now im 22 years old and well theres a bunch of reasons

“Gangs target children because they know that those minds are easily manipulated, and once that mind is molded to the gang lifestyle, there’s no changing it back” YES. 100% agree! Especially for children who grow up without supervision, a broken home or suffer some type of abuse. When the people who were supposed to protect you in this world neglect you, a child is bound to look for an alternative for protection, guidance, love and belonging.
Police, military, and all other cults can influence weak minds.
My brother was there before he got sent up! Love you bro! My bro was 13 tho when we got sent up for 34 years it's been 14 years now for him strong minded smart and solid as they come.
He’ll be out soon it’s crazy how fast 20 years go by
You stupid...

DaMarshmellow 4 out of 5 of my buddies should be getting out soon and I’m barley 35 it feels like yesterday.
Not if he puts in work
bruh he was only 15 and gets out when he's 34. that's so sad. he missed out on so much for just one mistake. I hope all goes well.
I can relate. I was incarcerated at 16 for beating up a cop. I thought I was a tough guy but being in their you learn something you can't learn at school. my respects to all faculty members helping the trouble your. I hope one day I can inspire change in others.

Hope she is still single when he gets out so they can get together

Where are you from im from Puyallup but now I live in Tacoma
He nailed it ! Books don’t teach , talking and physically educating as well as having the gift is what really teach you
When he talked about not being able to talk to rival gang members n instead reaching tha youth before they make a choice and choose a side. I felt that. Much respect to you bro. We can only be prisoners within our own mind.
He is 20 not 16 and still not looking 20 looking on his 30s
In the title of the video it says what it's like to be incarcerated at 16, not 20 because he was 16 when he was sentenced.
Your comment gives me a headache.
He was incarcerated at 16 wtf are you on about
@@cool8709 😂😂😂
i went here when I was 15 years old ...for a minor in possession charge , a misdemeanor. I was supposed to get sent to a different youth camp like medium security facility but they were full....so I got stuckk at this maximum green hill school , a 15 year old bookworm Hispanic kid , locked up with 20 21 year old drive by shooters and killers and such .needless to say i has never been around so many violent dudes . My roommate who looked after me and took me under his wing was there for shooting someone in the head. I got along with most of these guys tho, you wouldn't ever think they would so what some of the did to get in there , they were so damn chill . in retrospect , I feel like being in the midst of this kind of culture and influence kind of chiseled away at some of my moral boundaries and inhibited a kind of criminal aspect in me, where as before I was just a kid who liked to drink . I still don't regret going there tho, and meeting some of these kids. You wouldn't think somebody locked up for homicide would be so easy to get along , where as somebody in there for much lesser crimes is such a goddamn immature pain in the ass lol
When but 13 years old I was determined "incorrigible" and sent to a juvenile camp for the horrible "crime" of ditching two weeks of school! I had no prior record of arrests, vandalism, threats of or acts of violence...zip! Others at the camp were attempted murderers, rapists, thieves and, like me, kids just caught up in a lousy juvenile system. In those days, 1940, they had truant officers whose job was to track down and arrest juvenile offenders of school attendance laws. We were forced to use ten pound sledge hammers to break up granite rocks for road construction and small "single jacks" to break up these rocks into gravel-size stones, all under the blazing sun up in the Sierra Navada Mountains in Southern California. Many of us passed out from exhaustion and the heat. If you violated any rule, the camp officers would make you chew lye soap until you could spit it out through your teeth. Left a bad scar in my mouth. If you tried to run away and were caught, you were sent to even worse places reserved for nonconforming kids. Got released after five months and four days. Went back to school but dropped out when 16 and joined the Merchant Marines and sailed in the South Pacific during World War ll. Looking back on those hellish days in the camp, I consider myself one of the lucky ones...those who didn't go on to become criminals or drug addicts.
Only a child of war can reach another These credentialed ppl are out of touch and are just being manipulated
WORD
Heartbreaking how an intelligent kid that could achieve anything he wants in life ends up in this situation. You have to answer from your actions but how many of us have faced the same choices and made better ones. I'm so blessed to have never been around gang life.
Im a sureño bro.and this young man speaking facts.💯 very good head on his shoulders.and i hope people see that we all make mistakes.but we make a change 🙏🏽
after this interview he goes to chow and a riot jumps!!!
So what was the reason for him being incarcerated for 20 years?

Keep shinin and strivin carnal x4
I was lucky to perform at this facility at one point. Amazing opportunity to touch youth in their own format. Crazy
he was a norteño nuestra familia . there’s only a few left from back then . most of them are ogs. hope he makes it . there are some real scumbags in there when they find out your getting out , some go and even look for a fight with you or try to set you up to steal your date . just because they still have years to go they will try to keep you there with them
Yea man I hope the people around him in the jail wont be affecting him in his years to come...he looks like he repents for his actions. I'm wishing him luck.

You can tell that educating himself in jail has given him insight and perspective in life. I hope that he continues to his self education and seeks knowledge as a means to get out of that lifestyle he was living.

Welcome to the daily Hell our country puts young black and hispanic men through. I understand the severity of his crime. But theyre giving black and hispanic youths 5-15 yrs for selling drugs, break-ins, gun charges, and very petty crimes. I was put in jail for 17 days for poss of marijuana. I had a blunt in a rello pack in my sock, and I got searched during a traffic stop. White guys I was in court with were on their 3rd DUI, which in ky is supposed to be a felony charge. They were giving these mfs 10 days home incarceration for multiple DUIs, poss of drugs(like me), terroristic threatning, assaults. Long story short, I was given more time than any white male in court with me. Yet their crimes were more severe and harmful to others. We're targeted, then get harsher sentences for smaller or equal crimes. If youre white and sell Heroin you need rehab, if youre black and smoke weed you need jail?
Savage BLACK7 True spoken words
Society sees black people as thugs so everything they do it’s seen as “worse” and it’s really sad. I’m sorry for what you’ve been through I can’t imagine how it would feel being surrounded by people getting better treatment and second chances because of their skin color. This is coming From a white person I want the system to get better....

White people go through very little in comparison.

I wish the best for him, It’s Sad How Many young Indigenous blooded Homies Just throw their lives away , get thrown into this World & Don’t stand a chance, it’s easy For a Square from a better walk of Life To judge a Young Mexican homie who grew up low income , With no space , No privacy, stuffed in an uncomfortable living Situation , working parents who probably get taken advantage of at work due to their Ethnicity/ Legal status , I can relate a lot, I’ve been homeless multiple times throughout my young life , always lived in the worst & most undesirable part of town & was exposed to everything From Drugs To Violence Before my teens, people often refer to me as “Old souled” , when in reality it triples back down to me not having very much of a Childhood, Never being in school Etc. However what I’m saying is All Young Mexicans / Chicano /Native Homies just need to think long term, & look out for our people, this country or Continent known as the “Anericas” is not our friend , We Have to work 5 Times harder to Get just half of the respect & pay of what others Get 🤷🏽♂️ Stay Strong everyone 🇲🇽 especially My Sun Children ☀️ Our People Shall be Appreciated & Our stories will be told One day ✊🏽
