"The world's full of good people - if you can't find one, be one."
Really powerful stuff, man. Thank you for this. I needed it.
@GuildBankLooter Only be tough when you have to, professional fighters are super nice, but they wouldn't let themselves get walked on
@GuildBankLooter being good and fighting to defend others (or yourself) are not mutually exclusive.
Yeah, that's a good comment, alright, Yom.
I've actually tried to be a good person during much of my life, although I have met a few good people over the years (very few, sadly). But it does get hard, especially when people don't _want_ you to be a good person, mostly they just want you to play the role as an evil psychopath, even if you can explain to them that it is possible to do good deeds and to want to be a positive contributor to society even if you are a psychopath. They just don't want to hear it.
And I've found out that when somebody who sticks to a behavior of integrity and keeps trying to have a good influence upon kids and teens and their surroundings in general, people feel offended because they feel you're trying to show them that _they_ are no good, and that makes them aggressive because who am I to behave like a saint and make them look bad. I noticed this long before I was diagnosed as a psychopath, before I had killed anyone or committed other crimes and went to prison, so... well, I've always been good at reading people, and sometimes I'm wrong, of course, but I'm still certain that I'm right about this.
Why people generally can't imagine that someone doesn't have any other motives for being a good person than simply to be a good person, that is something I still don't understand fully. It's a bit the same way that I don't understand that people believe there are people who have killed one or more persons, in prison or elsewhere, but if somebody they know tells them they have killed one or more persons, they don't believe you. I've never really been able to understand why it's so difficult to understand that unusual things can occur in people's own social circle, township or whatever.

Channel Owner,
"The world's full of good people - if you can't find one, be one." ... I'd like to join YomYestreen and thank you for this comment.
@GuildBankLooter Exactly,Good people get used like doormats at the end of the day.
You have to be cold blooded,and take what you want in this world,you have to willing to be violent too.
If you want to be a good person...
Then just know that one day your going to get cheated on by your girl.
Just know that you won't always get the job.
Just know that you will always be a doormat to everyone else in this world.
There's good people in this world,but the world is full of savages.
You pick your poison.
Me too
My brother took going to jail really badly. He refused all offers of food and drink, spat and swore at anyone who came near him, and smeared the walls with his own feces. After that, we never played Monopoly with him again.
LOL best comment
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@seeburgmusic You stole that joke from some guy named Graham Johnson that commented on Death's 23 and 1 TH-cam channel. I mean it's a funny joke but you should give credit to the person that said it and not post it on somebody else's page claiming that it's yours.
Brad Hall best work on plagiarism I’ve seen
😂😂😂
I appreciate what you are doing. I'm a 50 year old father of three. I have been getting my 18 year old son to watch you lately. Just so he knows what happens if you make the wrong decisions in life. Keep doing what you are doing your saving more people than you know !!!!!!
I’m 17 gonna be 18 but I f*ck with it these videos , I don’t know why but i like them , I like hearing the perspective of an OG who’s been thru it
Tell him to join the Marines then, it's better and more fulfilling than serving time in prison.
Well said man.
Blizzard that could be worst. 3 of my friends all had similar stories of killing families because they had no choice. You won’t have to kill kids in prison
Blizzard Joining army is dumb.Why ? Because you risk your life for someone elses money.You could rob a bank and get more money.The risk of getting shot is the same.
Two years later and being called a nutsack again makes me humble. Thank you dudes for staying on the path and keeping it real.
My dad served 15 years and the stories he told me are absolutely spine chilling. He always told us to remember there’s always someone who’s more heartless than you
I think for just having survived 23 years in them prisons and to get on with your life is a massive achievement, a heart and mind of steel to survive all that. Thanks for the yarn Badger, all the best.
Don't be weird man. If you went to jail for that amount of time on separate occasions you were already about that life and on the streets surrounded by people just like there are in jail. If it was something like involuntary manslaughter you behind the wheel of a car and had to do that kinda time, first offense, that's different. I don't know what he got that time for but if it's separate charges on separate occasions, consider that part that part that part
Kudos to that now stay out lol
@@sagechris4742 some folks just hard headed kudos if they straighten up though
sagechris Driving on a suspended turned into 23 years for this guy...
That story about the pencil creeps me out to the max. I've seen that crazy face when someone loses it.
Did you see an Australian act like that?
Im not a gang member or any trouble maker im just a regular guy wanting to listen to some stories.
Wow that’s amazing
No one cares
I care
okay?
No shame in that
Same here dude. I can tell you with 100% certainty, that I couldn’t make it in that life.
I am a burned out social worker. So frustrated with the mental health system and “criminal justice” system. I went through the mental health system myself as a young person and I’ll never been the same. Thank you for the lived experiences you guys are sharing because they need to see examples of changing and contributing to changing these systems. It keeps me going in my own recovery and the work I feel I’m called to.
How are you doing?
Bummed out social worker ,strung out social worker
I thought I was tough until I went to jail. Life changing experience I’ll never forget.
You got them cheeks busted
You probably are tough but also intelligent and therefore have more to live for than the next guy willing to throw it all away
It takes a real man to admit that respect bro
Winnebago county jail is easy afffff
Shit, jail was no different than the group home.
OG Badger really keeping it real. Mad respect.
Thats the difference between OG and wannabe
I love how he says "we're not promoting Wigsplitting..." then scroll down and theres a bunch of gear and shirts with the word "Wigsplitter" on it.
I like this
He's a snitch
Badger would definitely bust ya cheeks and split ya wig bruh
Respect. I'm happy for you, man. I'm a former Sheriff's Deputy (6 years) and police officer (2 years). I love listening to stories like yours, not because of the violence or gore but because of how people can adapt and overcome such terrible environments and later succeed. It's inspirational.
I quit a horrible job with a ballbuster of a boss yesterday...
Had a better one by that afternoon .
Thanks Badger ,
Much respect
Honestly bro, I’ve never been to jail but you guys paint a picture that scares me to ever go. So thank you.
I've never been to prison but I've been to jail and I can tell you right now that you have nothing to worry about in jail, literally got along with everyone there.
I was in jail like 2 days. Longest 2 days ever from bordem. No other people around me but the bordem alone is enough to say fuck the extra shit that also come with prison.
So I'm glad I kept my held on my shoulders ever since then.
If you ain’t super soft you’ll be fine broski, respect is key.
Same here bro

Hands down the best peace of advice I’ve ever heard! 😎

The world is not full of good people, only a fool would think that. But yeah be a good one, that's the problem with most.
Kibibi what a smartass go to hell
@@kibibi4765 Lol, the guy below proved your point.
Someone in the army for 10 years will probably see less people die than someone in the joint for 10 years. War isnt a game and being inside isnt a game. No matter where in the world, prison is no joke. Love Badger and Big H. Keep it fresh! Peace out!
OG Badger has been my favourite guest. Hes gone through some bad shit, I'm glad hes making something of his life.
Having served 10 years in state prison, I couldn't agree more with what's said in this video...
Hope youre doing ok out of prison
The most Noble and honorable thing a human being can do is use their lessons in life to teach others so that they may avoid those situations all together. If you guys save just one person from the hell and horror y'all speak of, then it's worth it on some level.
I was going to say this, but with much less eloquence, so instead I'm gonna say I agree wholeheartedly
Nope. The most noble and honorable thing a person can do is to sacrifice their life for another. Where do you people get these ridiculous and pathetic ideas? Does it just sound good in your head? Do you think you're getting brownie points or someone should pat you on the back for what you say? I'm dying to know because people will just spout ignorance and idiocy and not even have the simple-minded awareness to be embarrassed with themselves
Screw this. I'm not even getting a parking ticket from this point forward.
"Stay ready, you aint gotta get ready."
Respect. I work in the healthcare field and thats what I instill in my coworkers. We're in the business of saving lives so we always have to be in the mindset that something can happen at any moment. Do you mind if I use that quote as a reminder?
“We are trying to keep you nutsacks out of the penitentiary” best line ever..
Greg M ? You must a terribly sad life.
Karma Global TV use grammar bitch
I don’t think people wake up wanting to go to prison.
@@blackgirlmagic9827 believe it or not as a young man we were made to believe that going to prison was the coolest thing ever.
@@mannyclav lmaooo speak for yourself, I never heard about that dumb shit ever
I'm a drop out, I thought I was gonna change my life when I dropped(no I didn't snitch), but got to the streets and did the same old shit. I finally hit bottom Iv'e been sober for almost 4 years now, it hasn't been easy especially lately. I appreciate everything you say, it resonates with me and helps to get my thinking back on track. Please keep it up.
Good onya m8
Nobody likes a quitter.
For the uneducated, what do you mean by a drop out? Obviously you're not talking about high school.
Q X he dropped out of his gang.
Sober life can suck and be boring sometimes ... downright depressing as well sometimes ... but just keep thinking of your worst days and appreciate you and your health if you can and roll from there, day in day out ... maybe even one minute at a time like I have to do most of the time ... the idea is replace bad addictions with positive addictions that boost your dopamine levels ... since addiction is in our DNA, why not use it to our advantage.
One of the wisest things I’ve heard on TH-cam in awhile. Going to county once in west Texas and once in Ft Worth was enough for me to give up any type of criminal life and work hard to care for my family. Thank you for the wisdom, courtesy, and honesty.
Same here but in NY, county was all I needed to see this aint worth it. Is as Badger put it, you are surrounded by animals, pure savages. I dont mean that in a bad ass way, I mean in a violent, idiotic, mental health sociopathic way. The stupidity I saw in there was unbelievable and also the hopelessness. Im not gonna comment on of the violent shit i saw in there, but speaking hopelessness and stupidity I remember this dude was in there for some stupid shit and his bail was 300 dollars and when I spoke to him he had been there over a week (at that moment I thought "u still in here for 300 dollars?? wtf, I will bond u out, thinking he was just some poor bastard but i kept my mouth shut) then I found out his sister is a cop from a BX precinct and i told him yo tell ur sister to bond u out and this guy goes nah im good and it hit me, some plp LIVE this shit, like they actually enjoy it there and sometimes u hear it from an interview or something but when u actually start meeting mfers like that, u go "fuck this shit"
Thank you OG Badger and Hurc! Love you guys, nothing but respect!
EXCELLENT TAG TEAM !!!!!!!
Danny weak bait.
Man I've been watching big herc now for a minute now and this is one of his best vid yet freaking badger speaks the truth
I was in juvie when I was 17 and watched a giy get stabbed by 4 inmates for cheating at spades and he paid the price. That changed my life forever. It was 26 yrs ago and I can still see it as vividly as if it just happened.
Did he die??
Aye homes I went to county right after turning 18, I decided in the pod that day, prison isn't for me. I went to county one more time after that.
As a man that never was on the inside..I commend you and B.H ..Thank you for making these videos
Thanks Big H ..God Bless and keep doing what your doing
I was a prison guard for 30 yrs in Texas and Wish I could unseen what I saw
I did 11.5 years in NY prison. Been out 25 years so far, Thank God. But I saw things in there myself, glad it's no longer a part of my world. Used to have nightmares at one time.
@DJ Maier cool story bro
@DJ Maier your damn right, all we have to do is segregate everyone by race, gang, and association. Then withhold all mail and visitation. Hire private contractors for all the food and laundry, and randomly screen everyone and everything with xray, dogs, physical search. Then pass laws allowing for the summary execution (that means no trial cause no one has time for all that)of anyone who gets caught with contraband worse than booze, and any attacks on staff. You might curtail the violence rate at that point, but probably not that much.
@@profetintraining42 glad u staying out big bro hope u doing good bro much love
@DJ Maier inmates will get to their families though no? Theyre gonna make sure they get their dope and such.
Everyone is a tough guy until one shows up lol

Don't be a tough guy mang.
😂😂😂😂
That is the truth.
And there's always someone tougher.
No one truly understands the hardships and pain Prison and jail can cause. Thank you guys for being a positive influence to those who are reentering the free world. My brother is currently serving time in Texas. This stint in jail has been really hard because of how close my daughter is with him, and she misses him a lot. I feel like you guys are giving a great example of how to turn your hardships and bad choices into something positive that could potentially be a life saver to other previously incarcerated men. To be reminded that just because you went to jail, doesn't mean you have to return. Keep up the good fight, you are worth it guys!
Heather can I bust them cheeks?
I appreciate guys like Badger. You're doing a genuine service out here, whether people realize ot or not. Folks out there need to listen to what you and others have to say, and hopefully listen to it and take it as a warning
You can tell Badger has been through a lot. Even when he speaks on certain events, you can still see that it effects him. Much respect to you, and I like what you said in this video “If you’re not enjoying your life right, go out and do that.”
Badger is a good dude. Straight up. You can tell his wisdom was earned, wether it’s his street/pen knowledge or his general insight on life.
I love this dude. He just seem like a good dude, and coo to talk to. Carries himself like a man, without having to explain it.
I applaud you guys for talking to people about what goes on on the inside! I have a teenage son who is testing the waters a little bit and asked him to watch this! It’s nice to see grown men who been through a lot come together and try to help the youngsters who may be headed that way!!
Me as a father not wanting my son to ever go to the concrete jungle appreciate and respect your words along with herc. Thank you
Just an FYI, 'concrete jungle' refers to a sprawling, urbanized city, not prison
@@rickeykoga2312 my guy you really gonna try to correct me on a comment I made thanking these guys for speaking? Wtf lol thanks for the advice
Concrete Jungle? Lol you have no idea what that means, do you?
you for real dont want your son to see new york city?
New York isn't that bad 😂
Brilliant chat, wish this dude all the best and never go back
Thanks man, I watch these videos to remind me to stay humble EVERY day as we are all just one bad decision away from being on the wrong side of that wall. Like they say "sometimes it takes a bigger man to just walk away". I thank god every day for my freedom because I've lost it before and glad and HOPE that's behind me.
🙌
Herc, Another great episode my friend.
Badger,
"Cattle die and kinsmen die,
thyself too must die,
but one thing never will die,
the fame of one who has done well."
Stay well and may the Gods give you their blessing.
One thing I learned in this video is
Do not go to jail . Ever ...
And if you have to go, especially if it's just jail (county lid a year) and if you're in there with violent people (big difference between jail time and prison time) ... then go once and don't go back. lol. Huge difference with who you're around and the politics at level 3 than level 7
Depends which state your in
36 months in the Infantry overseas. Your dead on Badger. Some shit you just can't unsee and it will change you forever. Different situation yet a lot of similarities. I'm glad you got out of that cage alive. Thank you for taking out the trash while you were inside as well, real talk. God bless.
Wow, you story was wild bro. I'm a proud square never been locked up no plans on ever being locked up. I have mad respect for you and what your doing. Sharing your story can help keep others from making a mistake and walking the path your warning them about. Keep up the good work and continue to stay strong, God bless!
Nothing but respect brother. Most people go there whole life not seeing how dark it can get. Life has a funny way of humbling folks.
God bless you Badger. Prison is straight up terrifying. I'm part of a team that provides a social program at a prison. The part that gets me is that when you speak to the guys in there, there're really just regular people who had negligible support and guidance in life. They're almost ushered by life circumstances to these hells. Some folks in there simply can't avoid being sexually assaulted - if a group of guys decides that that's going to happen to you, there's no defense. Even the guys who have gang support inside feel pissed off, hopeless, frustrated and afraid. Hoping folks don't make mistakes that land them in prison. Hope the folks in there find hope, purpose and renewal. Stay strong brother!
I wouldn’t take any of the Keyboard Commando’s words to heart. It reminds me of those who say “I could join the military, I play Call of Duty.” Pffft. You’re sharing knowledge and wisdom. Your words have the potential to help and even save more than a few people. Thanks for sharing.
I ain't about that life. Thank you.
I know that’s right!!!
Good! There's nothing good about that life, there's fun, but you always pay more than its worth.
Me neither bro
You aint bout dat cheek bustin lyf? U soft homie
Nah bro me either prison ain't for me that's for sure but I do enjoy these stories
First of all I want to say thank you. When I first got out, it was really hard for me to adjust to the outside world and I felt so alone like nobody understood what I was going through but then I saw your videos and it made me feel a lot better, so thank you so much for teaching people and letting them know that it's not glorious and it's not something to be admired. I lost my brother and my father while I was up state, and I know so meny guys there who lost a lot while they were in there. I know I've said it twice already but just thank you, thank you, thank you man. I appreciate you.
Your a solid guy, doing good things for these confused youth. Thankyou.
Thanks Badger. This is better than most podcasts
"Not that I'm a tough guy, but I tell you what. When you're behind the wall, there's a lot of things that change; and you're one of them."

Damn. I hear it in your voice it’s real to talk about and hard to talk about. You don’t know me or us commenters personally, but damn, thank you for sharing your stories. Truly appreciate you for doing so.
I knew exactly what you guys are trying to do by telling these stories. I've been to prison myself. You are doing many great things. Hopefully people don't want to go because of these stories and make lifestyle changes. For people like me it's fellowship I get from you guys, we've shared in this experience. Bless you guys stay free and thank you.
He couldn't be more right. I thought i was a pretty tough guy until prison. Unreal savages live there.
I always watch prison stories so I can know what to do and what not to do. I don't wanna become a product of my environment
Talk about how older guys manipulate the young. If you think you're accepted, you are only being used.....
He ain't lying, prison is not a joke, unless ur a monster, don't count on surviving a long bid!
Facts!

Even monsters can get got.
Bigger facts
That's str8 facts right there. No matter how big and bad u mite b, there's always sumone bigger, badder, and crazier. Especially when u get sumwhere with people who have nothing to lose.
When you go to Prison do not get high, DO NOT gamble and do not play any sports, spend your free time working out and minding your business and you'll be fine

You're doing positive things with your time and helping others avoid the traps you fell in, keep it up. What you do and say here matters.
My dad, who had never been arrested, not even a traffic ticket, was sentenced to 33 1/2 years in prison for shooting a police officer at 62 years old. He was recovering from a quadruple bypass and some small strokes. Everyone turned their backs on him after his punishment was dealt, except for myself & my mom (40+ years divorced). He was a sick old man, I spent many hours on the phone with prison staff, making my dad safe. He was beaten, poisoned, extorted & more. He went into liver failure, the prison Hospice program is AMAZING. He was transferred to a local hospital, and was surrounded by his family when he took his last breath. There were 2 plain clothes officers in the room at all times, but they left about an hour before he passed to give us privacy. So much more to the story, but Prison is no fucking joke. We were all victims when this happened.
I'm so sorry.
@@siflisk Thank you. People tend to judge/blame the families of the offenders. I am a victim in the sense I lost my father the day he committed his crime.

It's good to be strong.. cause you never know what will happen in there.. ya need to be in shape. BUT.. it's not everything. I saw a HUGE guy .. and i mean fucking gigantic and muscle bound.. get destroyed by a guy that was probably 5 " shorter and 70 lbs lighter. Happened right in front of me . The big guy thought he held the keys.. that's a term for pod boss of your race. Everybody was intimedated because the guy just looked like he could smash you like Hulk smashed Loki. He said something to the smaller guy and i heard the smaller guy say"You don't give me orders. fuck you' then Thanos leaned over him to try and scare him i guess and the little guy hit him so hard and fast i swear it echoed of the tile walls. On my life the thanoses nose was ripped half way off. it was hanging on by a nostril and you could fucking see his NOSE HOLE . Like looking at a skulls nose whole. Afterwards the big guy had lost such respect for being all talk the entire pod rolled him out. He had to request to leave or his health was in jeapordy. It was crazy.
Man i feel so grateful right now. Thanks for this video.
I really appreciate you taking the time to share this with us. I have a brother that is a habitual offender and has done time repeatedly. Unfortunately my dad and mom were both incarcerated at one time in my life as well. I lived out in Montrose CA. and my dad had warrants in IN at the time for DWI and was arrested in CA drunk driving and IN extradited him back here for the warrants but anyway my family has a history of addiction and some legal issues. I just wanted to thank you for sharing the hope and being so honest. I think it’s wonderful that you are now being of service to others thru treatment, no better way to be humble and show gratitude in my opinion. My brother is finally for the first time since he was a Juvinile no longer on paper and he is not behind bars, he isn’t a free man though. He is a prisoner to drugs, it’s a loss of freedom like no other! The grips of addiction and the shame and struggles that come with it are pure hell that are indescribable, unless you have lived it or watch someone you love suffer it you will never know what heroin and many other drugs will do to your life. I will be trying to turn my brother on to your vids. Thanks a lot.
You're a good guy badger, I'm proud of you and your accomplishments. I hope your words have helped at least one person start on the straight and narrow.
He busted cheeks though.
It's sad that there's people in the comments that are trying to be tough but never seen the inside of a cop car
I just cannot fathom what these people think they are accomplishing beyond jerkin themselves off in comment sections. This is some seriously good advice and knowledge these guys are offering up for free, to strangers no less. What's with the lack of respect?
Cheek busting crew checking in
its sad you think being inside a cop car is more reputable than not being in one. Just means you're bad at whatever you did my man
You have to be a criminal to be tough?
Hahaha... sure thing, chief.
It's sad that you equate "tough" as being in the back of a cop car. Some people obviously aren't tough enough to work 5-6 days a week until they retire. Being in a job that you fucking hate but you are "tough" enough to keep waking up every morning and go to work because you have a family that is relying on your income. Most criminals may be street "tough" but they aren't tough enough to say no to drugs, alcohol or commit a crime for money because they can't hold down a job.
Good people. "If you cant find one be one".
Perfect
Word 👍
@Smegead>>>IKR??? I'm gonna try and follow it.....
Thanks for periodically during the video, reminding us that you are here to help us out. Keep us out. Get our minds right. It’s so much better being out here around someone we love. 🍻
Respect and salute!! To badger and Big Herc!! Thanks for sharing your inside experiences for the public.
Thanks for keeping it true OG Badger. You guy’s content is very valuable, even if I helps only one person out of millions. Keep up the solid work!
this is a public service, keep doing what your doing,
Great motivation mixed with some great dark stories 👍👍
Made me feel better about heading out for work on my last week as i quit and going to use savings for hiking and enjoying life for a bit more.
Growing up in LA as a white boy who is also half Mexican I had my share of experience in LA County jail -- 9500 and Maximum East at Pitchess Honor Ranch also the SUPER MAX when it was relatively new -- I was in several racial riots up in MAx East . I stuck with the woodpile when I was in and had my share of skirmishes inside LA County -- I think it is great what your doing here on youtube thumbs up to you sir, I am now living in Maine for teh last 18 years and have come correct in life since my experiences in LA. I own a house have beautiful wife and 2 dogs , I also work in resedential care for bran injured people , I was an addict for MANY YEARS and ran in Tujunga and North Hollywood and Glendale for way too long ! Just want to say to people out there that you can turn it around I am living proof. RESPECT
thank you all for your likes ....it is my opinion that LA county jail is one of the worse places on earth , it is run in a fashion that keeps all inmates on their heels and highly stressed .maybe that is why there is so many race riots there----i was in a few .Surenos vs. blacks I will never forget the things i witnessed in that shithole.. I know jail is not supposed to be comfy but LA county jail is just ridiculous.
That's right wood I love to hear this. I'm a nor cal wood myself. Alameda county specifically and fought addiction myself I have two years clean from heroin myself. Love your life

As a half Mexican like you, I’m glad to hear that you are now thriving. Much blessings bro.
Miclo?
Good man, the more you can convince people to avoid crime and going to jail the better. It never gets better once you’re a convict.
“ Life is full of good people, If you can’t find one, Be One!”” Roger that.
You can tell he’s been through a lot through his voice and eyes
He sounds like some of us war vets, when we’re discussing our military war moments! That stuff affects any human being.
Yea he is a Warrior Savage....That made it out...That's crazy you can get PTSD from going to Prison never thought about Prison could have that Effect on u
@@michaeljennings8383 you can get PTSD from any situation that creates high stress and mental suffering.
He lying
You are doing a good and positive service to many people who are open to listen. Bless you.
Solid info. Youre a good man for helping the youth.
Much respect dude. These kids running around thinking they're so tough until they get stuck in the clink
The thing is there ain't no guns in prison so they actually got to know how to handle themselves can't be no coward
Yeah I noticed that from reading the top comments some sitting there like he says in the video being Internet Tough Guys and calling other people pussies but you know those same people that talking trash like that are the ones that wouldn't last 48 hours before they would be getting their asses handed to them because they aren't as tough as they want to try to make themselves out to be trying to impress people on here. I'll choose to stay the hell out of prison/jail because I know I would get my ass handed to me and have no desire to go through any of that crap. Does that make me a pussy? probably but it also makes me smart enough to stay out of the shit.
"Life is full of good people. If you can't find one- be one."
Great advice.
If life were actually full of good people you would have no trouble finding not just one, but many. The reason you don't is because the world is not full of good people. This is only rocket surgery for the simple-minded. I totally agree with being one. But reality is undefeated in the way prison toilets are undefeated.😂
Two situations that provoke hell's envy - 1) war, and 2) prison. Neither are glorious situations; this is real life, not Hollywood entertainment.
Big respect for this informative upload.
Another great video, good job Badger💯 I appreciate the encouragement. Sometimes its easy to be miserable & lay in the bed but like you said, it could be so much worse. We have to keep pressing on
El D's rollin up. Respect is given when respect is earned. Mad respect to you OG Badger.
I grew up with guys that the mindset was you were going to prison or dying young. Kind of like a badge of honor .. sitting in county looking at 32 years @ 19 is no fun..no honor … I look back now 20 years later …. It built me into who I am .. I did my time right learned more than I ever cared to about human beings and moved on… huge props to what you guys are doing …the videos take me back to a place I never wanna go again…
Thank you for sharing this is very educational and hopefully, it will wake up some kid who is headed down the wrong path. Keep on thriving. Peace!
I really appreciate all the positivity brother . You helped me turn my life around .
I think prisons should be ran like juvy centers meaning there should be a way to keep people busy even learning computer skills all day or books or prepare people for the future they will be faced with. They throw computers away after a year in schools and hospitals and should be donated to prisons instead and let them use there brains for the good and not sitting around looking for the next thing to do negative
300tank in Juvy there is still stabbing sand the hole so it’s really not much better
You should run for president
💯📢
Lol juvy is fucking hell..... Check out our juvy facility Broward county.( So.fla).... They just had a take over/ hostage situation
There are programs dumbshit
Truthful, no fabrication, and just straight up honesty. This is a great channel if you are looking for this. Such things are rare these days on TH-cam and in the world. I've never been in a penitentiary, but have known some that have and it's a horrible place. And yes, when you're in there they don't care who you are either.
