When he said his dreams are to own an apartment a car and to have a job that hit me hard because i have all of those and all of those are like basic thing most people have and take for granted...and those are his dreams...
Roz Sa awesome! You proved my point. You have no idea what this guy did but yet you call him a “violent criminal”, instead of making assumptions and judging people in looks and where they’ve been you should probably refer to him as a human being and not a thing reduced to their actions.

I spent 11 years in prison. From the time I was 17 until I was 28, I was locked up. The biggest thing that changed in the world in that 11 year period is my dad. He's not here anymore. The world isn't the same without him. He was my best friend.
@@abusepig5606 It's a shock, honestly. I was tried as an adult, so I was placed in an adult prison. I was surrounded by grown men, many of whom had been to prison before. Many of them had pretty serious cases. While other people my age were thinking about graduating from high school and heading to college, I was learning to survive in a prison full of hardened criminals. Stay good. Don't go to prison. I have a video over on my channel that talks about what it was like when I was first arrested. Part 2 of that will be posted over the next day or two.
Hey Eric, I just watched the video of you talking about your Dad. It hit me hard, I lost my dad last year and he was my best fiend and pretty much the only person in my life that I could talk to about anything. Hope you’re doing okay
I spent 41 years in prison and let me tell you, things have changed, this is my fifth video I have watched on the internet and this is my first message under a video, I never thought this would be possible.
As a corrections officer in today’s new generation, I really do have to say I would much rather work around the old school inmates because respect is returned. I wish you the best, you did your time and paid your dues. In my book you are square with the house. God bless you. I hope God guides you to a life you deserve as his child. No other is better than you sir, remember that we all have skeletons in our closet. It’s weather we have the guts to admit it and learn from it. I always respect guys like you because I have learned to look at what’s inside and not outside. God bless you brother. I hope you find peace and happiness!
Its not an exaggeration at all to say it's a whole different world. I can't imagine it it's so strange just to put your clothes on or hold your cell phone in your hand again or walk on grass after a few months
That's before my parents were old enough to even convince me, it really makes you appreciate your freedom, especially when you hear about people who served decades and then found innocent... It's scary, sticks and stones can break your bones but false accusations can Rob you of nearly all of your lifetime
This man spent 40 Years in Prison in a Violent environment, murder on a day to day basis. Isolation and Hardly any communication with anyone and the type of interactions he got was either someone backstabbing him or insulting him. It amazes me that This Man still has hope and faith in humanity and still believes and sees the good in people.
was it your sister he killed? that guy is really fuked up..i know the type.he got 40 years of shit in his bag.and he thinks it is the tattoos that scares people.heh
It is so raw listening to him . He is a man that owns his mistakes and still gets treated less . My heart hurts for him . He may be a excon but he is just a man
thegodess I was bitter at first. Rough due to the fact that I was mad still at the court system at that time. It took years but I'm over it. It probably saved my life. A blessing in disguise. I might of ended up dead or maybe life in prison instead the way my life style was
This is a little difficult to watch. When he said he didn’t wanna leave prison on the other video I started crying. My father has been in prison since 1996, I was 8yr old. Now that he’s getting out next month, every time I get on the phone with him I hear fear in his voice I’ve NEVER seen or heard my dad cry. He’s so scared to come out. He escaped jail so he was maximum security for 12 years, similar to him. I’m 31 now and I feel like I have to protect him when he gets out bc I feel like people might take advantage of him or he might be a little weak minded. I’m scared.
21 years BEFORE i was born this man got locked up.. I am 22 now... This hits hard. It's not for me to judge on him. He did what he did and honestly i would do the same. U dont touch my family. If i had any opportunity to help this men i would... i wish him all the best.
Yes; the eyes are the window to the soul they say and I can see this guy has a good heart and it says a lot about the society we live in that no one will give him a chance.
I know what you mean. This and homeless people. Many don't want to give the effort once down. It is hard to inspire someone when you haven't resources to help. I read a cool book called 50 ways to help the homeless. It's about getting to know them on a personal level. I've done some 'work'/helping and this does enable you to understand their needs. Transportation, communication, continuous consistent contact, shelter in a decent environment, nutrition...then occupation. All these things require time and patience that will more than likely be wasted. I found transport and making sure appointments can be made and kept help tremendously. I also think that just knowing someone actually cares about their existence is a huge help. It's very lonely on that side of life. No government employee or program will do these types of things in my area. Money cannot buy human compassion or empathy. These people experience very little of it. I mostly consider homeless moreso than the convicted criminal and I am bias that way. Not all convicts are actually guilty of their crimes either /rant.
@@paulh7589it amazes me that people believe, or claim to be God fearing. Claim to honor God in the pledge of allegiance. And actually go sit their firey asses up in all sorts of religious places. But lack the compassion of Christ, whom they is real. They call on him for all reasons."oh God, Jesus help me, Lord have mercy". You name it, for whatever reason, and in all walks these and more quips are said. But then, it's those same people who think that someone like this Man, Myself, and plenty of others are not worthy to be picked up and redeemed by the the same God who has the power to change things. It's those same people who claim to be soldiers for the Lord. Yet forget that the, Bible, as it reads and states that God uses Men like Him, me, and others show the world of his power. This Man as you see him is a child of God no matter what. He's equal in the eyes of God as you are. You've done wrong. As we all have. So don't be an idiot and cast your soul to he'll simply for trying to play God. For allowing the same evil that troubled this Man to overcome you and have you hate and wish death on him. "Thers none Perfect amongst us. Not you, me, or this Man. Only God.
I think they need to restructure the prison system to keep the prisoners out of contact with each other. Not isolation so they go mad but daily visits from several people who talk to them, help them better themselves give them assignments and jobs to occupy them. Putting them in a violent environment with a bunch of other violent people as their only companions only makes things worse. I ain't talking about a summer camp either it wont be fun and they wont have rights other than essential supplies. Teach them to read and supply them with books.
@@simonw3858 then the fear of going to prison would be very low, people would be more willing to risk and commit more serious crimes.. if they fail and get caught, they get a safe and free accommodation, free meals and free education.. nah, prison needs to be a scary place..
He did 40 years and I got mad in this Coronavirus quarantine shit when I stay home. How stupid I am... God bless him. He served his punisment... Still alive. Sending good vibes from middle east ( Turkey ) to you Danny!
Again as a wife of a man who has done 25 yrs and don't know when he will make parole. This helps me understand a lot and what he will be going through when he does get out. Please thank Danny for sharing his story, it has truly open my eyes to things. Any way we can help him please let us know. I will be praying for him and his success
Murder, it was made as a race case. But he is married to a white women, so it's nothing to do with race at all. He was a kid, in a small town and never had a fair shot. He has even saved a co' s life and we all know that's inmate code. He had 2,000 inmates out to get him for saving her life after another inmate slit her throat
RAMMSTEIN are my fav band Yes he did but when someone pulls a gun on you at your home, and is about to pull the trigger what are you going to do? Shot first! he shot twice to stop him from shorting, the man was going to shoot again. So he shot again, the lady that was with the victim took the gun and drugs and left. So even now the lady has came clean about taken evidence, but since she's a convicted felon they don't want to hear it. So should he have went to prison for what he did? hell yes! But not for the charger nor the time he got.
I agree he is so humble . I see these comments from ignorant ppl. Don’t judge the man or anyone because what you do is how you will be judged. If your ass was railroaded ended up in prison you be dead. Don’t you idiots know he had to fight to save his life because the other guys were going to kill him. He had to stand up alone and he was just a child going in there. He isn’t trying to hurt anyone. So stop judging people from prison. They are still Gods children and he loves them. So help don’t hurt don’t be cruel.
If ever there was a man that deserves a break , this is the man , great talker and could be a life coach to help young offenders. I wish him all the success. 👍
You can see the emotional intelligence within this man , the raw honesty , bravery, and resilience! Keep going ! You are not far behind , you have a special gift.
i did, so check this out, i called in sick last night (night shift) then went back to bed, woke up at 3am..perfect sleep. then i jump on youtube and i land on this, watched the whole thing. now get this i work at mcdonalds as a janitor... i do the very same things he would do. and i feel like i need, more,more,more..etc tell me this doesn't put things in perspective. i don't think i will be calling in sick any time soon after watching this..geesh
People calling this man worthless has no heart. If any of you spent 50 years or even a year in jail you would give up on life and this man has to adapt to basically a whole way of life with all the advancements in technology and the fact he is trying to better his life after such hardship is just amazing
You act like all these hardships were just randomly put on him. He chose a life of crime and had to pay for it. He chose to get all tatted up on his face, head and arms. Then complains that people judge him off his tattoos and that it’s “not his fault” The best thing to do is not develop a victim mindset and think everything is out to get you, poor you, bad luck always, etc. Make your own luck, make situations good for yourself. He has to earn people’s trust, he spent 40 years in prison for crimes he committed. He now has to prove to people he’s a trustworthy and good person. It’s not given. This is coming from someone who has done time, came out to a halfway house, and now I’m pretty successful. Lots of hard work.
comicalrelief44 I agree he done his time and I would love to see the people making those comments in his situation and come out the other end.if ya listening Danny you are not worthless and don’t listen to those pieces of shit. You seem honest and genuine and that’s hard to do around people you don’t know I wish you all the best and hope you make it.respect to you man🇬🇧
He's been in pin of course he teeth isnt great but he needs a 2nd chance id hire him half of the cons are bad ass salemen big market big up the ass crack bussiness are missing big on talent from people with bad records.Stupid employers are retarded and they suck at biz
@@orangejuicyice1448 I have family in there so I have first hand accounts of the slop that they're fed. It's worse than anything you could imagine. Also all of the water is contaminated. Less alcohol, tobacco and drugs helped him stay healthy. You're correct that the food we eat is everything. He'd look 100% better if he'd been eating an organic diet up until now. My husband is his age and looks at least 12 years younger.
Tell him to write a book, I’d read a book about his experience in jail and his experience catching up to modern days, also, maybe yall should work him through each generation of modern tech, like start him off with a windows 95 or XP computer and a flip phone, then introduce him to windows vista or an earlier mac os then the first iphone, and so on
YEEES, as if you can see what i had in mind lol; he should write for these young and stupid kids who wants to be wankstas to stay away of crime. He can be an inspiration indeed!
a guy like this would have a really hard time even being able to function at a basic job like mcdonald's with absolutely no experience with any sort of technology and only basic knowledge of how things were done in the 1970's it would be a struggle to learn how to do everything that a generation of people who grew up surrounded by computers and tech can do. And with how fast technology is constantly moving trying to just catch up to everyone else would be incredibly hard.
Big Master- yeah those would be good options manual labor/skilled trade type jobs. So many things now a days involve having to work with computers and technology its almost like if you don't know how to use this shit you are fucked and cant even function properly in society. Now a days if you don't have good transportation and internet access it's gonna be a real struggle to do anything that normal everyday people do.
His story broke my heart. I wish I could just give him a hug and treat him to a steak dinner. I hope he meets his goals and live out the rest of his life happily. Much love!
Years of witnessing people like him in the most humiliating circumstances rise up and find fullness of life. And many more in better conditions slip into misery from one poor decision after another. It puzzled me to until I realized… This man has hit bottom. He hit it with force after a long slide of pain and suffering, much by his own doing, as he would admit, and much more by a system that profits off him. As for other people’s “excuses?” They are still on the downward slope. And they build momentum, every minute on the wrong trajectory is going to make it harder to correct. But they’ll hit, and they’ll either rebound like this man or die on impact.
When he talked about the job and the guy calling him back saying he’d do anything they asked he’d just be grateful for a job I almost cried. I wish I could help him. For spending almost his whole life away he’s incredible smart and well spoken.
I am glad for this video. I work in a maximum-security prison as a sociologist. My job is to research how successful ex-cons are in adjusting to the Free World. I work with 30 inmates who are leaving in at least 5 years or less and make sure that they adjust once they're out and teach them while they're in prison how to adjust to the Free World. I research ways in which the Department of Corrections can reduce recidivism. I am glad you're trying to help me understand how I could assist the inmates that I work with adjust to the Free World. Thank you
Miranda Mom the program I work for is a pilot program funded by the Obama Administration. The program ends in May if the Trump Administration does not renew it or my state does not come up with fundings to renew it.
Aron Gerson That’s tragic. We can only hope that society values programs such as yours enough to keep supporting your work. Or we could write a few legislators I suppose...
Miranda Mom I am meeting with Vera institute org a lobbyists organization to reinstate funding for Pell program. Letter will not necessarily help Democrats in Senate and Congress support the educational programinnings. It about those who can vote making sure to get out and vote. Thanks for the offer.
Not sure where this man is today. But if you still are looking for a job in the NYC area please feel free to contact me. I run a construction company and would love to take you in. God bless you sir.
I'm boutta rewatch the first two episodes again before this one. This series is so good Joe, you can't get content like this on mainstream tv. Edit: Seeing Danny trying to get on the right track is so inspiring to me, it makes me want to work twice as hard on achieving my dream of owning a recording studio. This is also teaching me to have patience in the work I do, take everything a day at a time and work your ass off no matter what it takes. You rule APS, I hope you know how big this light of hope you shine down on people that struggle to reach their goals is. Danny puts that fight back in my mindset, he puts that don't quit DIY Positive Mental Attitude back inside the things I want. Thank you for sharing his story with us Joe, bottom of my heart to the top of my lungs thank you for what you do Joe.
Myth Maker Let me be the first to congratulate you on opening your recording studio! (Reread this when you're anxious about the day before launch!) Just always remember that if you treat your dreams as reality, you will make them your reality (This is coming from somone who dreamt of building a brand, and now has [not on youtube yet, though lmao])
Work. Work is lifting 50lbs 900 times, over a time period of 8 consecutive hours, in a negative 17 degree environment, while accounting for every motion you make as to ensure accuracy as well.. l.m.f.a.o.

He is far too good for McDonalds this man is educated....well mannered....well spoken....he needs to be a speaker....write his memoirs.....it's gonna happen for him....hang in there..... prayers for you Danny🤗
One question: How is the person who's life he took doing? He violently snatched the life force from another human being. 40 years in jail he gets out but his victim is still dead. Murder should come with mandatory death penalty.
WhatEverDude I was thinking the same thing I have felt like him before and it's hard and I didn't do not even a quarter of his time and it was hard coming home so I can't imagine what he is going though I wish I could do something to help frfr I got a extra car I would give him and I'm not far away I'm in southern West Virginia like 5 mins from VA line
ArmchairWarrior my dad is like that never had a job been in and out of prison his whole life more time in then out because when he hits the streets he don't know nothing or have help doing anything all he knows is sell dope so thats all I seen growing up so shit seemed normal so I followed right behind him and we went to prison together on some real shit I'm just now seeing what a normal life is after my son was born I was like I'm done but it took me till I was 28 years old to figure life out I'm 30 now have a great job by the grace of God because it's hard being a felon I take cear of my son that just turned 3 i got my own house cars dirt bikes this is the best I ever lived I had a lot selling dope but I was always looking over my shoulder that shits for the birds 💯
"I don't really smile. I don't think I need to smile." Damn that line hit me hard man, you can just see and feel his pain, the way he talks, his look I'm the eye, his mannerisms. I really hope he becomes successful and more importantly find happiness in his life!
There should be assistance for those leaving prison and for when they are out. I am glad he is making it - he is so well spoken and real. I hope he makes it
Danny your funny dude. I did 8 years and I been out for 10 years and I still can't tell one car from another. I was homeless for a few years and did my laundry in a barrel by hand. Stay strong brother, your thinking like a man should, you'll make it.
daaam mcdonalds, in my country mc donalds jobs very hard, the first day the have you work the bussiest time all you get is a mc donalds combo , then next day you start earning money minimum wage , here its nearing $20 per hour
wow, I can't imagine being in prison for that amount of years!! I was only in for 5 years, and when I first got home 🏠, everything seemed strange. In prison, it's like I was in a world all it's own. Time moves slowly and I actually forgot about the "outside world " some days. I pray 🙏 that this man makes it. Great video!! ☺️
I only did 3.5 yrs on a 13 yr sentence, and finished parole with no issues. But since returning home i still sleep on the couch in my living room where i have multiple escape routes and full visibility from all directions. Never had an issue behind the fence with anyone, but coming back to the home i was arrested in obviously wasn't a great idea, but what ya doing to do when that home is all ya have left. Serving time will screw with a person's mind, and i know i'll never be the same.
Jewel Haines . I guess that it is the only way to remain sane in there, is yo shut out the outside world. I wish him all the best. Hope you're doung good too.
@@wizzo2280 im not saying go and give dude a million dollars.... just enough to help get his feet on the ground. Ultimately a lot of people in his shoes end up giving up and going back to prison.
Average_Adam_ Actually_Awesome yes you're right man and I think it is teetering on the edge, it's clear he would quite happily walk back into prison if given the choice on the wrong day, in the wrong mood. The level of Institutionalisation here is absolutely crazy. It fills me with a strange feeling of despair when listening to this guy, just nothing but tragic waste and loss here.
Jono Murphy I don't know about tragic waste or loss. He owed a debt to society. He is probably in eternal debt to a few families he has crushed in his lifetime. With that said...... ship him CT and I'll employ him and get him on the right road anytime.
He's a handsome guy too! For 40 years and almost 60, he looks GREAT! He looks better than some people who haven't done a day. His tatts tell a story..a beautiful Man. 🙏🏾
Would like to help this man...wouldn’t mind helping this man regardless of what he’s been through. To me he’s learned from his mistake and I believe he deserve a chance to grow and succeed at life.
Yes, but would you have felt that way in a ten min interview, better yet... would you have even given the chance for an interview. Most bosses don't want that kind of trouble. Good ol Mary in accounting would not be able to contain her judgemental ass. So, it's great that after a heartfelt 20 min monologue with a soundtrack meant to tug at your emotions, that you say you would sponsor this guy but you know damn well you would not hire this man. Resumes online, background checks and the fact that it says 'death dealer' on his face, will keep him from any decent employment.
Someone should let him know that its cool to have tattoos these days, I have a feeling that's gonna hold him back from achieving his dreams. Wish you well brother! Love from South Africa
I just feel like America does not love people of colour and it keeps them suppressed. And it breaks them inside... Hence I donot really understand America or Western Countries... The man has a broken spirit and the systems keeps breaking you down...
@Viper But the segregation based on color we see it in the media and it becomes vivid whenever police interact with people of colour... And all this is documented... But to respond also on poverty... Any nation or society is judged not on it wealthy inhabitants but how is handles it disadvantaged(poverty, gender, colour or marginalised) people. So America in selling its image to the world, it certainly not the one for inclusion but discrimination...
Man after hearing this guy's story, the look in his eyes, the way he speaks, just everything about his story.....has truly humbled me and gave me a deeper more profound sense of gratitude. The system is fucked. People who have gone through so much don't deserve to be shit on like he has. I truly hope he finds success and peace in life
my dad was locked up for about 20 and when he got out i was the one who showed him how to actually use a phone and stuff so i get where this guy is coming from. wish i was where he was to help him learn a bit about our new world.
Byron, this man is highly intelligent with very high IQ. He should write a book. I will be praying for him tonight that God reveal himself to him and give him the desires of his heart.
Hes talking about himself its easy to make tell your sob story, im not sure what his crimes are but i assume they violent, he mentions getting kicked out of homeless shelter cause of someone he knew thay had a relationship before. Wheres his daughter in this story?
it made me cry too listening to his dreams and hopes...we are blessed...may god blesss him with a good and healthy life...he don't deserve to live alone anymore.
Five's reading ur comments got me all moved..got tiery eyed...this man sure has been through a lot...someone should give him a break..wish I could send him few dollars or help in some way
really appreciate how youve presented his story. you didnt try to jazz it up with a bunch of editing and you didnt do want they do on TV and interrupt him to try and fill parts in. you just kept it simple and honest. thank you
@@ATATURKdusmanlarininAMK_NJ how do you know if he is or not ? If he is in jail that makes you a moron for assuming he isn't, if hes not in jail then @Diablo 1907 is a morron for assuming he is. Neither of you have showed any proof to support either arguments. For that reason I lable both you "Honorary Morons of the 21st Century", Congratulations ! Here's is a trophy for both of you. 🏆 🏆
I have a extra car that looks runs and drives good that I would give him to help him out I'm in West Virginia if I can do anything to help I will the best I can
This man need a life/job on the countryside, something like a farm. So that he can slowly get in tpuch with technology. He need some nature around him. I think that the city life is too much for him in one time. Be blessed.
A job on a city farm or fruit picking or an organic farm/permaculture would be good if. you have that kinda thing in the USA. A tattoo shop would be a good place to visit!
I agree! Imagine if prisoners could get something like this serving their time!!! I mean check out Norway or Sweden’s prison models...one country doesn’t sentence over 20 years and they treat the prisoners as if they already are integrating back into society from day 1. I wonder if anyone thinks of this before these guys with decades of time served get out!!! A travesty.
Yes living on a farm going hard work with his hands would be great. Be around animals & nature. Fresh air , good clean food& water. Start learning on a computer slowly. He don’t need much the simply things in life will be more then enough for him. Sending Love&Prayers to him. All the best at life joe✊🏾❤️ you got this!!! ❤️🙏🏽🇨🇦
This brings back a lot of memories, when I was younger , my father did time in prison & I remember visiting him, and how he was affected when he came out. I wish this man the best, I hope he really can make a life for himself. God Bless.
ArmchairWarrior We don't need the internet, but we like using it, we have become so reliant on it that it will be very difficult to stop. (and by "we" i mean society)
Not really. I'm 35 years old, and remember before the modern internet and digital revolution I could easily go back to doing things the "old fashioned way" if I had to. Hell, up until 2001, I always carried a prepaid calling card in my wallet so I could make calls from payphones. It wasn't until last year that I stopped carrying a phone book in my vehicle to use as a map and to find telephone numbers. I still know how to read a road map, and even operate an 8 track player and a record player. I could easily adapt to the 70's way of doing things if I had to.
MONGOLS MFFM so says the stupid early Millennial that has likely never had to pay any of your own bills. Grow up child. Does your mommy know you’re up so late? Don’t you have to get ready to go to high school?
Are you stupid? Do you know how much work he/she has put in to make this video so you can watch it for free? What about supporting this TH-camr so he can bring us more stories like this. BTW the TH-camr has made a separate Gofund me page for this guy.
Kyle Y so you know nothing about video making and how much work goes into it. That’s ok but please don’t judge it then. Besides the time consuming work like making the concept, contacting the right people to interview, et cetera you have to pay the equipment (lighting, multiple cameras, microphones etc.) edit the video afterwards and manage & promote the TH-cam channel. That’s all work and you can watch at for free so be a bit more respectful
Hope you all are enjoying this series. And thank you all for being a part of AfterPrisonShow!!!
These videos are top notch Joe.
How old is he
Cheers Joe. 👍
He's 60 I don't think he looks it.
Set up a go fund me for him to help him out
His job should be to go to schools and tell his story to kids . He’s a excellent speaker 💯
Totally agree , he deserves to have a decent life
Ehh he’s a felon they ain’t letting no felon on school grounds
John Landon yea but a lot of kids could learn and not make the mistakes he made in life
Totally
Exactly he knows so much and can change kids lifes who are going through wrong path so easily

You're right
Yes, but you aren't a violent criminal. This is a person who most likely took the dreams of others away.

@@Parzival8919 no idea, fella.

“ I was more comfortable with criminals but I was afraid of people that was harmless “ that was deep

Joe has his email in the description area
I spent 41 years in prison and let me tell you, things have changed, this is my fifth video I have watched on the internet and this is my first message under a video, I never thought this would be possible.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻welcome back brother. Safe travels🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
must have felt like time travel... unfortunately to a reasonably more fcked up world. wish you the best.
HAHA URE LIFE IS FKED
what did u do
Well welcome back! God is still the same so lean on to Him in your darkest nights! 🙏 Hope you enjoy whatever good life has to offer you here on out.
As a corrections officer in today’s new generation, I really do have to say I would much rather work around the old school inmates because respect is returned. I wish you the best, you did your time and paid your dues. In my book you are square with the house. God bless you. I hope God guides you to a life you deserve as his child. No other is better than you sir, remember that we all have skeletons in our closet. It’s weather we have the guts to admit it and learn from it. I always respect guys like you because I have learned to look at what’s inside and not outside. God bless you brother. I hope you find peace and happiness!
Nobody cares who you think is “square with the house”.
Well said my friend there's always people that won't give us a break your not one of them thanks for your great comments!!!
@ 17:00 "...clean toilets, pick up somebody's crap. I don't care. I will do it. I need an income" I respect this man.
It’s sad though. People complain why don’t people do these jobs but the same people won’t employ them because of their backgrounds.
@@kitayuan9842 very true
Makes you appreciate a bit more the things that we complain about now days ,man god bless this man
Hit a lick
Massive respect.
“I’m used to being alone”
That was deep 😔
Very underrated comment
I wonder how he’s doing rn 😰
I be alone all the time when my mom at work
That ain’t deep you 10 if you think th ate a deep quote
Zip zop boopity bop schkipity sham boop bop bam it’s a deep quote when you can relate.
I am humbled by listening to this man speak
Eddie Aviles omg
Me to bro this is very emotional and real
I did 13 yrs in tdc. I know how he feels. Been out 30 yrs now. Wish dude could come live with me. I'd be honored to help a brother out. ✌
Reach out bro.
God bless you 🙏 I'm so happy you're doing well after all these years.
Please reach out to him. He needs help.
If you’re located in Norfolk maybe y’all will bump into each other

I can’t imagine 40 years in prison, that’s insane.
Yea just imagining myself being in prison for that long is giving me serious anxiety.
Its not an exaggeration at all to say it's a whole different world. I can't imagine it it's so strange just to put your clothes on or hold your cell phone in your hand again or walk on grass after a few months
That's before my parents were old enough to even convince me, it really makes you appreciate your freedom, especially when you hear about people who served decades and then found innocent... It's scary, sticks and stones can break your bones but false accusations can Rob you of nearly all of your lifetime
Marth alot if people hang it up facing that much time. let's try to stay outta trouble and live life.
YEA TO BAD HE DIDNT ACTUALLY DO 40 STRAIGHT HES BEEN IN AND OUT FOR 40 HE ONLY DID 17 STRAIGHT YOU CAN LOOK UP HIM IN PUBLIC RECORDS MASS
This man spent 40 Years in Prison in a Violent environment, murder on a day to day basis. Isolation and Hardly any communication with anyone and the type of interactions he got was either someone backstabbing him or insulting him. It amazes me that This Man still has hope and faith in humanity and still believes and sees the good in people.
Vince yang I know right? You’d think he’d be suicidal at this point in his life but he has strong willpower to keep going.
Not day to day
In which he put his self there...I wonder if the victim family still has it
was it your sister he killed? that guy is really fuked up..i know the type.he got 40 years of shit in his bag.and he thinks it is the tattoos that scares people.heh
@@zimworlddee919 na it was her
It is so raw listening to him . He is a man that owns his mistakes and still gets treated less . My heart hurts for him . He may be a excon but he is just a man
Watching this guy makes me feel very stupid when I complain on small everyday stuff.
@Redeemed you're just ignorant, pls stfu
I second that, stfu redeemed
Exactly
@Redeemed if somone killed my mother you could go ahead and call me a murderer too your ignorant as fuck bro

Dude, you are a gifted speaker.
There's your calling.
Would be a wsste of his life to get a 9-5 he needs to tell.his story all over the world
Fr this guy is great at speaking i enjoyed hearing his storie never got bored of hearing him
suzy klitgaard afterprisonshow is taking Danny $😐
I was locc'ed up from 16yrs old til I was 28. For a crime I didn't commit. Now I'm 41. I thought I was lost.
Stay strong homie!!!!!
How has your life changed since then??
thegodess
I was bitter at first. Rough due to the fact that I was mad still at the court system at that time. It took years but I'm over it. It probably saved my life. A blessing in disguise. I might of ended up dead or maybe life in prison instead the way my life style was
fairplay that must off been hell
wearealltubes you’re idiot for asking that stupid ass question. Slap yourself.
Glad you out let the system tell it you guilty off top that sad
This is a little difficult to watch. When he said he didn’t wanna leave prison on the other video I started crying. My father has been in prison since 1996, I was 8yr old. Now that he’s getting out next month, every time I get on the phone with him I hear fear in his voice I’ve NEVER seen or heard my dad cry. He’s so scared to come out. He escaped jail so he was maximum security for 12 years, similar to him. I’m 31 now and I feel like I have to protect him when he gets out bc I feel like people might take advantage of him or he might be a little weak minded. I’m scared.
How’s it been? Did your dad get out??? Is he okay???
I mean a criminal in prison we’ll change them they become fearful people
Hey bro..is your pops out now?How is he holding up?Wishing you the best
How's your pops doing??
God bless
21 years BEFORE i was born this man got locked up..
I am 22 now...
This hits hard.
It's not for me to judge on him.
He did what he did and honestly i would do the same.
U dont touch my family.
If i had any opportunity to help this men i would... i wish him all the best.
Amen
27 years later I was born wish I didn’t life is depressing lol
His eyes alone speak volumes. He is very captivating with his story telling. 👍
We can see his sadness in his eyes 👀
It's a sadness and almost an empty void in his eyes.
chris kramer yes he does
Yes; the eyes are the window to the soul they say and I can see this guy has a good heart and it says a lot about the society we live in that no one will give him a chance.
His eyes look so tired
I wish i could dedicate my life to helping lost souls like this gentleman. I have a heart for this man that I don’t even know.
I like your name. And your comment.
Salvation Army you can start tomorrow
I know what you mean. This and homeless people. Many don't want to give the effort once down. It is hard to inspire someone when you haven't resources to help. I read a cool book called 50 ways to help the homeless. It's about getting to know them on a personal level. I've done some 'work'/helping and this does enable you to understand their needs. Transportation, communication, continuous consistent contact, shelter in a decent environment, nutrition...then occupation.
All these things require time and patience that will more than likely be wasted. I found transport and making sure appointments can be made and kept help tremendously. I also think that just knowing someone actually cares about their existence is a huge help. It's very lonely on that side of life. No government employee or program will do these types of things in my area. Money cannot buy human compassion or empathy. These people experience very little of it.
I mostly consider homeless moreso than the convicted criminal and I am bias that way. Not all convicts are actually guilty of their crimes either /rant.
God is good!
@@paulh7589it amazes me that people believe, or claim to be God fearing. Claim to honor God in the pledge of allegiance. And actually go sit their firey asses up in all sorts of religious places. But lack the compassion of Christ, whom they is real. They call on him for all reasons."oh God, Jesus help me, Lord have mercy". You name it, for whatever reason, and in all walks these and more quips are said.
But then, it's those same people who think that someone like this Man, Myself, and plenty of others are not worthy to be picked up and redeemed by the the same God who has the power to change things.
It's those same people who claim to be soldiers for the Lord. Yet forget that the, Bible, as it reads and states that God uses Men like Him, me, and others show the world of his power.
This Man as you see him is a child of God no matter what. He's equal in the eyes of God as you are. You've done wrong. As we all have. So don't be an idiot and cast your soul to he'll simply for trying to play God. For allowing the same evil that troubled this Man to overcome you and have you hate and wish death on him.
"Thers none Perfect amongst us. Not you, me, or this Man. Only God.
I'm just watching this today and hope and pray that this man has found a job, home, peace and finally a feeling of belonging.
This guy was piece of sh*** never trust someone who has been to jail they will neber change...
Unless they were in jail for something they didnt do.

Danny face light when he said he wants a friend, a true smile.
Karen Tewee I wonder how many people he raped in prison
What's that gotto do with him finding a friend?
That's when I cried for real
I hope this man gets a break, he had a rough life with no breaks......
You heard he was in the military too, dam sounds like he tried to go the right path
I felt beat up myself when I heard the stories now I’m trying to find out how to reach out to him
Real!!
I think they need to restructure the prison system to keep the prisoners out of contact with each other. Not isolation so they go mad but daily visits from several people who talk to them, help them better themselves give them assignments and jobs to occupy them. Putting them in a violent environment with a bunch of other violent people as their only companions only makes things worse. I ain't talking about a summer camp either it wont be fun and they wont have rights other than essential supplies. Teach them to read and supply them with books.
@@simonw3858 then the fear of going to prison would be very low, people would be more willing to risk and commit more serious crimes.. if they fail and get caught, they get a safe and free accommodation, free meals and free education.. nah, prison needs to be a scary place..
He did 40 years and I got mad in this Coronavirus quarantine shit when I stay home. How stupid I am... God bless him. He served his punisment... Still alive. Sending good vibes from middle east ( Turkey ) to you Danny!
❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
How did he get arrested or what for? 40 years is a long time
@@TheKittyClink he is telling in other videos. Indont remember. 2 different cases I think. One with feds
OMG
I can't believe this person spent most of his life in prison. You don't see humble people like that nowadays.
Again as a wife of a man who has done 25 yrs and don't know when he will make parole. This helps me understand a lot and what he will be going through when he does get out. Please thank Danny for sharing his story, it has truly open my eyes to things. Any way we can help him please let us know. I will be praying for him and his success
Jenna Lewis
Whats he in for
Murder, it was made as a race case. But he is married to a white women, so it's nothing to do with race at all. He was a kid, in a small town and never had a fair shot. He has even saved a co' s life and we all know that's inmate code. He had 2,000 inmates out to get him for saving her life after another inmate slit her throat
Jenna Lewis did he commit a murder tho
RAMMSTEIN are my fav band Yes he did but when someone pulls a gun on you at your home, and is about to pull the trigger what are you going to do? Shot first! he shot twice to stop him from shorting, the man was going to shoot again. So he shot again, the lady that was with the victim took the gun and drugs and left. So even now the lady has came clean about taken evidence, but since she's a convicted felon they don't want to hear it. So should he have went to prison for what he did? hell yes! But not for the charger nor the time he got.
Probably getting his cheeks busted.
I could listen to 100 more of these and not get tired of them.
The Campfire same
Same :)
This man is amazing
I hope he writes his life story, and gets a voice over job, he has a smooth reading voice
Someone hook him up being a voice over for Bethesda softworks
now that you bring that to my attention I agree
He can replace morgan freeman. Imagine him narrating shawshank redemption lol
Ya same .. Now some one .mention that does sound relaxed
Hearing him say “id like to have somebody I could call a friend” was a knife in my heart
Facts😭
Just looking into his eyes I can see how hurt and sorry he is
Whats his crime, what did he do
@@scare6262 smoked ur shit
Most important is what he is now than what he did such stupid question from something he did 40 years ago wtf this people
I agree he is so humble . I see these comments from ignorant ppl. Don’t judge the man or anyone because what you do is how you will be judged. If your ass was railroaded ended up in prison you be dead. Don’t you idiots know he had to fight to save his life because the other guys were going to kill him. He had to stand up alone and he was just a child going in there. He isn’t trying to hurt anyone. So stop judging people from prison. They are still Gods children and he loves them. So help don’t hurt don’t be cruel.
It was good to see him smile and laugh. He is tough as nails.
I hired lots of guys like Danny, he’s pushing 60. And time as a rule mellows people out.
Wish him the best.
P
You're awesome!!
"Father time" is undefeated, it catches up to everyone. It mellows you out or takes you out.
If ever there was a man that deserves a break , this is the man , great talker and could be a life coach to help young offenders. I wish him all the success. 👍

when he said he just wants to take walks at the beach, I balled my eyes out.

I did
I did he deserves a oscar
i did, so check this out, i called in sick last night (night shift) then went back to bed, woke up at 3am..perfect sleep. then i jump on youtube and i land on this, watched the whole thing. now get this i work at mcdonalds as a janitor... i do the very same things he would do. and i feel like i need, more,more,more..etc tell me this doesn't put things in perspective. i don't think i will be calling in sick any time soon after watching this..geesh
People calling this man worthless has no heart. If any of you spent 50 years or even a year in jail you would give up on life and this man has to adapt to basically a whole way of life with all the advancements in technology and the fact he is trying to better his life after such hardship is just amazing
comicalrelief44 he’s really tough physically, emotionally and mentally
You act like all these hardships were just randomly put on him. He chose a life of crime and had to pay for it. He chose to get all tatted up on his face, head and arms. Then complains that people judge him off his tattoos and that it’s “not his fault”
The best thing to do is not develop a victim mindset and think everything is out to get you, poor you, bad luck always, etc. Make your own luck, make situations good for yourself.
He has to earn people’s trust, he spent 40 years in prison for crimes he committed. He now has to prove to people he’s a trustworthy and good person. It’s not given.
This is coming from someone who has done time, came out to a halfway house, and now I’m pretty successful. Lots of hard work.
comicalrelief44 i agree hes making me cry so bad
comicalrelief44 I agree he done his time and I would love to see the people making those comments in his situation and come out the other end.if ya listening Danny you are not worthless and don’t listen to those pieces of shit. You seem honest and genuine and that’s hard to do around people you don’t know I wish you all the best and hope you make it.respect to you man🇬🇧
Can't believe he's 60. Get his teeth fixed and a nice suit, and he'd look like early 40s no problem.
you can tell hes been in alot of Rough fights His teeth are chipped by force trauma and he also has all kinds of scars on his face and mouth
That’s proof that all the shit we eat these days age us like a 1953 tractor
60? Nooo way. Damn if I was on my top game in would donate to this OG. amazing how he articulates.
He's been in pin of course he teeth isnt great but he needs a 2nd chance id hire him half of the cons are bad ass salemen big market big up the ass crack bussiness are missing big on talent from people with bad records.Stupid employers are retarded and they suck at biz
@@orangejuicyice1448 I have family in there so I have first hand accounts of the slop that they're fed. It's worse than anything you could imagine. Also all of the water is contaminated. Less alcohol, tobacco and drugs helped him stay healthy. You're correct that the food we eat is everything. He'd look 100% better if he'd been eating an organic diet up until now. My husband is his age and looks at least 12 years younger.
I did 16 years one thing I learned to appreciate life
I hope everyone you go far bro keep doing good 🙏🏻
Im praying for you 🙏 . How old were you when you got sentenced ?
You guys are doing good by helping him
God bless those guys who have helped him.
Tell him to write a book, I’d read a book about his experience in jail and his experience catching up to modern days, also, maybe yall should work him through each generation of modern tech, like start him off with a windows 95 or XP computer and a flip phone, then introduce him to windows vista or an earlier mac os then the first iphone, and so on
YEEES, as if you can see what i had in mind lol; he should write for these young and stupid kids who wants to be wankstas to stay away of crime. He can be an inspiration indeed!
Then have him discover the power of Android
a guy like this would have a really hard time even being able to function at a basic job like mcdonald's with absolutely no experience with any sort of technology and only basic knowledge of how things were done in the 1970's it would be a struggle to learn how to do everything that a generation of people who grew up surrounded by computers and tech can do. And with how fast technology is constantly moving trying to just catch up to everyone else would be incredibly hard.
Big Master- yeah those would be good options manual labor/skilled trade type jobs. So many things now a days involve having to work with computers and technology its almost like if you don't know how to use this shit you are fucked and cant even function properly in society. Now a days if you don't have good transportation and internet access it's gonna be a real struggle to do anything that normal everyday people do.
I'll buy a few copies to give to friends, and to read myself.
His story broke my heart. I wish I could just give him a hug and treat him to a steak dinner. I hope he meets his goals and live out the rest of his life happily. Much love!

You want a man don't you Babygirl 😆🙃 ?
I love how optimistic he is. 40 years in the worst setting ever and at 62 he’s hoping to start from the bottom up! What is our excuse??
So truee man he is built different
Exactly
right.. 😇
True that @theemillennialfatgirl1587
Years of witnessing people like him in the most humiliating circumstances rise up and find fullness of life. And many more in better conditions slip into misery from one poor decision after another. It puzzled me to until I realized… This man has hit bottom. He hit it with force after a long slide of pain and suffering, much by his own doing, as he would admit, and much more by a system that profits off him.
As for other people’s “excuses?” They are still on the downward slope. And they build momentum, every minute on the wrong trajectory is going to make it harder to correct. But they’ll hit, and they’ll either rebound like this man or die on impact.
I would love to by an audio book of this man speaking of his life I drive truck for a living and I wish there were 100 parts to this story
life is to short have fun me too
Was thinking the same ✌🏽
Im sure the guy speaking doesn't wish there were a hundred parts .

I am glad for this video. I work in a maximum-security prison as a sociologist. My job is to research how successful ex-cons are in adjusting to the Free World. I work with 30 inmates who are leaving in at least 5 years or less and make sure that they adjust once they're out and teach them while they're in prison how to adjust to the Free World. I research ways in which the Department of Corrections can reduce recidivism. I am glad you're trying to help me understand how I could assist the inmates that I work with adjust to the Free World. Thank you

I'm boutta rewatch the first two episodes again before this one. This series is so good Joe, you can't get content like this on mainstream tv.
Edit: Seeing Danny trying to get on the right track is so inspiring to me, it makes me want to work twice as hard on achieving my dream of owning a recording studio. This is also teaching me to have patience in the work I do, take everything a day at a time and work your ass off no matter what it takes. You rule APS, I hope you know how big this light of hope you shine down on people that struggle to reach their goals is. Danny puts that fight back in my mindset, he puts that don't quit DIY Positive Mental Attitude back inside the things I want. Thank you for sharing his story with us Joe, bottom of my heart to the top of my lungs thank you for what you do Joe.
Myth Maker Let me be the first to congratulate you on opening your recording studio! (Reread this when you're anxious about the day before launch!) Just always remember that if you treat your dreams as reality, you will make them your reality (This is coming from somone who dreamt of building a brand, and now has [not on youtube yet, though lmao])

Yup that's what I was thinking too. He has a lot of anxiety but he will overcome all obstacles and succeed
gypsytwigg glitter just like he said, he needs to start somewhere
I know educated well mannered and well spoken people hired at McDonalds
Mc Donald’s is a start for him. I respect the working class no matter where it is we all make the world go round
One question: How is the person who's life he took doing? He violently snatched the life force from another human being. 40 years in jail he gets out but his victim is still dead. Murder should come with mandatory death penalty.
Make a movie about ur life n a book too. You will make good money. Ur storie is deep. My respect to you. Wish the best. Sir.

Hopefully he *is* retiring....from prison. 🙂
I suspect he will be back in prison, he is institutionalised. As much as he hates prison, it’s his life
ArmchairWarrior my dad is like that never had a job been in and out of prison his whole life more time in then out because when he hits the streets he don't know nothing or have help doing anything all he knows is sell dope so thats all I seen growing up so shit seemed normal so I followed right behind him and we went to prison together on some real shit I'm just now seeing what a normal life is after my son was born I was like I'm done but it took me till I was 28 years old to figure life out I'm 30 now have a great job by the grace of God because it's hard being a felon I take cear of my son that just turned 3 i got my own house cars dirt bikes this is the best I ever lived I had a lot selling dope but I was always looking over my shoulder that shits for the birds 💯
When he says he hasnt had a friend for more than 40 years...heartbreaking
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 God bless that security guard for giving this man a sense of respect
This guy just needs a hug
Absolutely
He needs more than just a hug
Id give him one
that's too gay for him
@@zord5699 i agree xD
He's extremely self aware and intelligent. This is the most inspirational story I've heard this year.
He passes his rotten teeth to women that he kissed 30 years back
"I don't really smile. I don't think I need to smile." Damn that line hit me hard man, you can just see and feel his pain, the way he talks, his look I'm the eye, his mannerisms. I really hope he becomes successful and more importantly find happiness in his life!
There should be assistance for those leaving prison and for when they are out. I am glad he is making it - he is so well spoken and real. I hope he makes it
The part where he said he hasn’t had a friend in 40 years got me 😢
CaroleChiaki yeah they don't like sex offenders in prison
he isnt a offender tho
@@jesseguy5296 you must be a moron or deaf
he's not a sex offender you dumb fuck
@@supernice_auto what did he go in for
Danny your funny dude. I did 8 years and I been out for 10 years and I still can't tell one car from another. I was homeless for a few years and did my laundry in a barrel by hand. Stay strong brother, your thinking like a man should, you'll make it.
When you realize that he’s one of the very few people who is still living a old good lifestyle and not brainwashed by the modern culture
Many more behind bars...
MGK Marco what are you smoking?
yes he was scared because he saw us for what we are brain washed from birth controlled and influenced and the norm
yeh he should be a speaker the government should pay him to speak about prison life and adjusting and preventing people from going to prison
daaam mcdonalds, in my country mc donalds jobs very hard, the first day the have you work the bussiest time all you get is a mc donalds combo , then next day you start earning money minimum wage , here its nearing $20 per hour
This is a very Powerful interview. My prayer is definitely with this man. May God be with you and show you the way🙏🏽😊
wow, I can't imagine being in prison for that amount of years!! I was only in for 5 years, and when I first got home 🏠, everything seemed strange. In prison, it's like I was in a world all it's own. Time moves slowly and I actually forgot about the "outside world " some days. I pray 🙏 that this man makes it. Great video!! ☺️
I only did 3.5 yrs on a 13 yr sentence, and finished parole with no issues. But since returning home i still sleep on the couch in my living room where i have multiple escape routes and full visibility from all directions. Never had an issue behind the fence with anyone, but coming back to the home i was arrested in obviously wasn't a great idea, but what ya doing to do when that home is all ya have left. Serving time will screw with a person's mind, and i know i'll never be the same.
Jewel Haines . I guess that it is the only way to remain sane in there, is yo shut out the outside world. I wish him all the best. Hope you're doung good too.
I did 5 myself, it's strange how much changes .When your in prison, the world leaves you behind.
@@alexmcdowell8868
Yeah, it really does. I hope you are doing well. ❤
@@trime-time
Yeah, it really does.. I still sleep with ear plugs in!! 😆. Hope you are doing well!!
I pray for this man to find peace and love
Joe this guy is someone I'd donate my hard earned money to help out. I think you should start a go fund me so we can help him out!
Money changes people. I think Danny should work to earn his money.
@@wizzo2280 im not saying go and give dude a million dollars.... just enough to help get his feet on the ground. Ultimately a lot of people in his shoes end up giving up and going back to prison.
Agreed. I want to help.
Average_Adam_ Actually_Awesome yes you're right man and I think it is teetering on the edge, it's clear he would quite happily walk back into prison if given the choice on the wrong day, in the wrong mood. The level of Institutionalisation here is absolutely crazy. It fills me with a strange feeling of despair when listening to this guy, just nothing but tragic waste and loss here.
Jono Murphy I don't know about tragic waste or loss. He owed a debt to society. He is probably in eternal debt to a few families he has crushed in his lifetime. With that said...... ship him CT and I'll employ him and get him on the right road anytime.
He sounds like a Puerto Rican from Massachusetts. You can hear it when he say park and car. It takes alot of courage to be that vulnerable.
He's a handsome guy too! For 40 years and almost 60, he looks GREAT! He looks better than some people who haven't done a day. His tatts tell a story..a beautiful Man. 🙏🏾
Alexis crushing...lol😷
@@omphemetsechake2839 😂🤣😂🤣
He needs lots of Viagra
@@matovuabu5215 not really...prison food is not that poisonous, no fast food there, his immune system is still intact!!!
@@matovuabu5215 speak for yourself
Would like to help this man...wouldn’t mind helping this man regardless of what he’s been through. To me he’s learned from his mistake and I believe he deserve a chance to grow and succeed at life.
God Bless you!
Real Talk
Yes, but would you have felt that way in a ten min interview, better yet... would you have even given the chance for an interview. Most bosses don't want that kind of trouble. Good ol Mary in accounting would not be able to contain her judgemental ass. So, it's great that after a heartfelt 20 min monologue with a soundtrack meant to tug at your emotions, that you say you would sponsor this guy but you know damn well you would not hire this man. Resumes online, background checks and the fact that it says 'death dealer' on his face, will keep him from any decent employment.
I don't understand people here where i stay people here help other people but wouldn't help me when i was a homeless veteran smh
Someone should let him know that its cool to have tattoos these days, I have a feeling that's gonna hold him back from achieving his dreams. Wish you well brother! Love from South Africa
I just feel like America does not love people of colour and it keeps them suppressed. And it breaks them inside... Hence I donot really understand America or Western Countries... The man has a broken spirit and the systems keeps breaking you down...
@@marekatebakang7669 Yes , we will break you!
@@cogen651 keep your America 🇺🇸... We good in Africa 🌍
Xolisa lugebu love from Australia 😊❤️🇦🇺👍
@Viper But the segregation based on color we see it in the media and it becomes vivid whenever police interact with people of colour... And all this is documented... But to respond also on poverty... Any nation or society is judged not on it wealthy inhabitants but how is handles it disadvantaged(poverty, gender, colour or marginalised) people. So America in selling its image to the world, it certainly not the one for inclusion but discrimination...
Man after hearing this guy's story, the look in his eyes, the way he speaks, just everything about his story.....has truly humbled me and gave me a deeper more profound sense of gratitude. The system is fucked. People who have gone through so much don't deserve to be shit on like he has. I truly hope he finds success and peace in life
What did he do? Ask yourself why 40yrs?
Amen
I don't even have words to describe how real that was
my dad was locked up for about 20 and when he got out i was the one who showed him how to actually use a phone and stuff so i get where this guy is coming from. wish i was where he was to help him learn a bit about our new world.
I feel bad for your dad
Byron, this man is highly intelligent with very high IQ. He should write a book. I will be praying for him tonight that God reveal himself to him and give him the desires of his heart.
You bunch of criminals dawg
My heart goes out to him, hope he’s well.
Has a bigger heart than most people I ever met
Damn ur make had a motivation...Gbless u
You don't know his heart,he's a criminal.
Most dangerous criminals are psychopaths and expert manipulators. You don't spend 40 years behind bars for having a 'big heart'.
Most criminals are sociopaths. Let’s hear you say that if he murdered your family, then we will come back to you
Hes talking about himself its easy to make tell your sob story, im not sure what his crimes are but i assume they violent, he mentions getting kicked out of homeless shelter cause of someone he knew thay had a relationship before. Wheres his daughter in this story?
When he finally started to laugh I started to cry
Got no words
Five's 😔💔💯🙏🏽
me too I hope hes going to be ok
it made me cry too listening to his dreams and hopes...we are blessed...may god blesss him with a good and healthy life...he don't deserve to live alone anymore.
Five's reading ur comments got me all moved..got tiery eyed...this man sure has been through a lot...someone should give him a break..wish I could send him few dollars or help in some way
Five's omg he has me crying so bad i wish i could help him
really appreciate how youve presented his story. you didnt try to jazz it up with a bunch of editing and you didnt do want they do on TV and interrupt him to try and fill parts in. you just kept it simple and honest. thank you
How he talks! You would love to keep listening and listening to him
its 2020 we are eager to know how Danny's doing ❤
They have playlist about Danny. Look up life after 40 years in prison and it should pop up.
@Edwin Urena 😔
@Edwin Urena stop making shit up moron
@@ATATURKdusmanlarininAMK_NJ how do you know if he is or not ? If he is in jail that makes you a moron for assuming he isn't, if hes not in jail then @Diablo 1907 is a morron for assuming he is. Neither of you have showed any proof to support either arguments. For that reason I lable both you "Honorary Morons of the 21st Century", Congratulations ! Here's is a trophy for both of you. 🏆 🏆
@@lennoxtrials1599 BAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
I have a extra car that looks runs and drives good that I would give him to help him out I'm in West Virginia if I can do anything to help I will the best I can
livefastdieyoung 2212 Wow ,that is such a really great thing to do. You have heart!
Not to be a dick but after 40 years i almost guarantee he won't have a license ever again...
@@murica9746 absolutely not true
Greg Schwartz he can get it he probably has a better driving record then anyone any of us know
What?
This man need a life/job on the countryside, something like a farm. So that he can slowly get in tpuch with technology. He need some nature around him. I think that the city life is too much for him in one time. Be blessed.
A job on a city farm or fruit picking or an organic farm/permaculture would be good if. you have that kinda thing in the USA.
A tattoo shop would be a good place to visit!
I agree! Imagine if prisoners could get something like this serving their time!!! I mean check out Norway or Sweden’s prison models...one country doesn’t sentence over 20 years and they treat the prisoners as if they already are integrating back into society from day 1. I wonder if anyone thinks of this before these guys with decades of time served get out!!! A travesty.
Yes living on a farm going hard work with his hands would be great. Be around animals & nature. Fresh air , good clean food& water. Start learning on a computer slowly. He don’t need much the simply things in life will be more then enough for him. Sending Love&Prayers to him. All the best at life joe✊🏾❤️ you got this!!! ❤️🙏🏽🇨🇦
Agreed. A reintroduction system to help support our loved ones being released
This brings back a lot of memories, when I was younger , my father did time in prison & I remember visiting him, and how he was affected when he came out. I wish this man the best, I hope he really can make a life for himself. God Bless.
It’s funny because if someone from the 21 century went back to the 70s they would struggle too with the lack of technology
ArmchairWarrior We don't need the internet, but we like using it, we have become so reliant on it that it will be very difficult to stop. (and by "we" i mean society)
Not really. I'm 35 years old, and remember before the modern internet and digital revolution I could easily go back to doing things the "old fashioned way" if I had to. Hell, up until 2001, I always carried a prepaid calling card in my wallet so I could make calls from payphones. It wasn't until last year that I stopped carrying a phone book in my vehicle to use as a map and to find telephone numbers. I still know how to read a road map, and even operate an 8 track player and a record player. I could easily adapt to the 70's way of doing things if I had to.
Kurt Semler shut your weird ass up.... Your only 35 you fucking dramatic D-Bag. Acting like your 90. Still living in your mom's houses. Weirdo
MONGOLS MFFM so says the stupid early Millennial that has likely never had to pay any of your own bills. Grow up child. Does your mommy know you’re up so late? Don’t you have to get ready to go to high school?
Kurt Semler * says he is up to late* * then proceeds to say don’t you have to get ready for school* Big L Kurt
The money the TH-camr makes off these videos should go straight to him
daniel sanchez I was thinking the exact same thing 😭💯
Are you stupid? Do you know how much work he/she has put in to make this video so you can watch it for free? What about supporting this TH-camr so he can bring us more stories like this. BTW the TH-camr has made a separate Gofund me page for this guy.
@@suballica Lol what effort. The vid looks like it was filmed on a phone and edited in 5 mins.
Kyle Y so you know nothing about video making and how much work goes into it. That’s ok but please don’t judge it then. Besides the time consuming work like making the concept, contacting the right people to interview, et cetera you have to pay the equipment (lighting, multiple cameras, microphones etc.) edit the video afterwards and manage & promote the TH-cam channel. That’s all work and you can watch at for free so be a bit more respectful
Subash Mainali Where’s that GoFundMe Link at?
Imagine getting locked up for 40 years today... just think how different things are gonna be in 40 years from now
couldn't imagine
We’ll have implants in our brains that we can have a digital smart phone in and we can read each other’s mind lol it’ll be crazy
