If someone punches you repeatedly in the face it means they don't like you

Never accept free food, never give your food away, don’t talk to anyone beyond quick banter. Clean your living space. Mind your biz.

if your cell quits crackin jokes.... big one right there.

1. Keep yo shoes on AT ALL TIMES 2.Mind yo own u live long 3.See nothin Say nothin 4.If u not n a gang stay n yo lane 5.Stay ready u aint got to get ready

I told my wife to put her shoes on. I explained to the cops I gave her fair warning. They didn't seem to care.

“ Mexican got on boots. “ If you know you know

Brother, you are doing a valuable service. I am lucky to have been a large man who can go, but I saw about everything you mention and I know if I needed advice, and wasn’t “safer than most” in prison, bro you could be saving a dude a life-ruining event. I KNOW YOU MEAN WELL, MUCH RESPECT.💯👊🏻

Knocked out before you even wake up lol 😂😂😂😂

Prison sounds like high school. With shivs.

As a law-abiding citizen, who's never been inside a prison, I say all of this warning signs apply outside of prison as well.

Picture the forest, jungle, etc Animals will go silent the same way. Says something about the nature of danger/evil.

That part you were saying about someone asking you to "go talk to dude in that cell" I relate to 100%. I was 18 when I did my first bid of 3 years. I remember I was just chillin in the dayroom minding my own business drinking a cup of coffee in the morning at a table and this black dude came up to me and said that shit. Me, being 18 and naive, didn't think anything of it. I got up to the door and homeboy was in there and he had 2 of his boys behind me. Turns out I was being accused of stealing a deck of cards, which I didn't. Tried to tell him that but he wasn't hearing it. One of his homeboys behind me was like "oh, you better give my dawg his fade bruh..blah blah blah" next thing I know I was getting pushed in the cell. Not much I could do. I got pushed in and got in a few hits on dude and then just got mollywhopped with a padlock on a laundry bag. Split my shit wide open and I was bleeding everywhere getting jumped by 3 big ass black dudes for no reason. I remember just balling up and laying in the corner of the bottom bunk so they couldn't really get me too bad and just kicking them away. One of them grabbed my leg and dragged me out onto the floor. I got kicked and stomped on a few times and then it was over. They let me up to go "clean up." I go to my cell and of course, I've been robbed of my shit. At this point I was just pissed off about getting jumped for no reason so I got up on the tier and called out anyone who wanted to get in the paint, still a bloody mess. No one took me up on for whatever reason but man I was ready to take a head off. Little did these dudes know, I had a couple homeboys that were lifers who were also pissed about what happened. The next day one of my boys asks me what happened and I told him. I was about to get out so he said don't worry about it. He starts fumbling with his waist band and rolls out a piece and tells me to point them out, which I did. Man, those dudes got poked the fuck up like I've never seen and one dude got his stomach slashed open by a razor on a toothbrush. The most brutal shit I've still ever seen. What an experience. I tell people about shit like this who never been and they can't believe it but it literally happens every day on the compound.

biggest warning sign people can ignore is if someone changes who they are for no reason. for instance if someone you kick it with everyday distances himself from you for no reason, somethings up. either he has beef, or someone else is after you and he wants no part of it. or if someone you never talk to or never kick it with is friendly for no reason, offering you a cup of coffee ect, watch your back. no one is nice out of the blue in prison for no reason

Mostly what he's describing are all no win situations whether you recognize them beforehand or not. Moral of the story, don't go to prison.

"Don't take them honey buns" lol!

If You're in the prison shower full of big buff dudes all staring at you and suddenly, the lights cut out... that's a warning sign

Why was this recommended?? You threatening me google?

im glad i found this video. I was planning on getting arrested for a capital crime next month

I love this guy!, good sense of humour and he comes across as a sound lad,respect from the United Kingdom

I totally hear ya brotha, I've done 8 yrs and it still affects me to this day, I still look over my shoulder if I hear something behind me. I get aggressive when people tail gate me man. I've heard so many people talk that tough Tony shit in the pen and get that lock to their head. I seen a dude get his eyeball stabbed out and beat with a lock in the head because he was a rat over drugs.

I told my husband to put on his shoes when I was pissed the other day, he looked at me like I was nuts. 😂

I check this video every night from the computer in my cell - just as a refresher

As a former CO. This is great. Love it. That silence was always a warning sign something was about to pop off. And if it’s in different pods as well. Watch out.

You should have your shoes on already never get caught slipping

People either respect you, fear you, or want to harm you, or ain't even thinking about you.

Me and my daughter where just talking today about not trusting people immediately just because they say or do something nice. Test and wait

Yo. I just started watching your videos. Mad respect dude. I feel like these may just keep some people alive and in one piece.

I'm an introvert and can feel people's energy and i get drained and irritated easily. I'd never survive in prison. I'd have to be in solitary somewhere alone 24/7

19:00 --- The most honest, truthful, and best advice I have _EVER_ heard on any of these prison videos. It's in your voice and face.. Absolutely sincere.

Thanks very much for this valuable information. Living in Newark, NJ, most of my old buddies (and family) have wound up in prison. Making the right choices in life have prevented me from winding up there. That being said, its always good to know what to avoid in prison. Thanks Man!

Great video with interesting content! I have just found your channel and watched a couple of your videos! Hope you keep up your good work. Greetings from Germany!

What I like about you is that you are dead ass honest . At one point you talk about backing down in a fight and how the whole block will understand if the guy is 6'3 and you are 5'8 . I've never heard that before .

Damn good words of wisdom at the end of the vid!!! I been out and off paper now for 2 years. Got damn near my whole life in prison. I don't want that life anymore. Your vids really drive it home for me...thanks bro.

Great info on this one. Can se you put a lot of thought into it. Those silence cues, can go for being in reltionships with someone who's been in prison or a very aggressive person in general. Sometimes it comes down to just your instincts in the momemt and luck and God. This video really well done. I enjoyed it.

Dude, you earned every check you get from KZfaq. Keep up these videos.

Just discovered your channel ; very informative and well done nice flow!

Just don’t go to prison... win all around!

The biggest warning signs something's about to go down is them flashing red & blue lights behind you're car.. Good luck my friends 🙏👌💯

Always an education watching your vids, man. When I vision doing bad shit, I find myself asking if it’s worth being in an orange jumpsuit for years and years wasting the little time we have here on earth. Keep ‘em coming bro👏🏼👏🏼

When im having a bad day I watch a 23 and 1 video to remind myself when I did time and shit could be worse! 💯

Josh when you do your meet-up you HAVE to do it in Union Square Park. Its a hub for all different cultures in NYC and I garuantee you that you'll have footage for days if you film at that park. Trust me its the best location to do it for free.

You ever say " be ready when those gates open" then oversleep?

Your warning signs are on point! Great video👍🏼

I was thinking about going to prison, you can forget it now!!

First time I come across your channel and I see immediately that you know what the hell your talking about. I think what your doing is great. I've seen videoes of former military personnel trying to educate people before they head out to boot camp or something. It's cool your providing important information to people especially those who are on there way in for the first time and things like lacing up those shoes, yea, if you don't know well now they know. Again I like what your doing keep it up and you got a new subscriber. Hope you have a good day today man. Looking forward to checking out your other videos. Anyway peace out bro!

haha he said " he was knocked out before he woke up" haha

you came up on my feed and i watched you for a bit. i like you for a youtuber. its like you have to try because you are just a real dude - its refreshing.

This is good shit man! I wanna put you on my twitch.. "how to be aware in prison". Glad your doing this.

He’s correct on what he says... Best advice I could give you on your possible bit is...... Shut yo damn mouth and listen more. Don’t look in cells as you walk by, deal wit yo problems, don’t snitch. If it don’t apply let it fly. Good lookin on tha advice bro.... It’s not rehabilitation it’s survival nation.

Throwback intro !!! Dizeath 🙌🏽

Amazing info. Thank you for sharing bro.

I like your videos dude!! Def watching more. I commented on another video about my husband being in jail and he makes food as well.

I love these vids. The host should do some vids w/ The Wigsplitter/Cheeckbuster guy. That would be an awesome series.

“slide right up out that money” 😂 had me dyin

Thanks for all the advice and warnings .

Spot on! The silence is a big one! Loving your videos.

People wouldn't believe some of the shit I saw in the pen. 9 years consecutive in Ohio. Did my first 7 years in Ross and last 2 years in Belmont. Little brother about to get out of Belmont next year. He came in from Country right after I got there. Been out the gate 3 years and either way I'm never going back. It isn't worth it people. I missed funerals, birthdays, weddings and I can never get that time back.

It's incredible how much violence varies from institution to institution, state to state. My state of Pennsylvania has nearly full control. Most of the facilities are new, so there's no place to sneak someone. Very little violence in most of our institutions. Most of it happens in our old jails, like Huntington. Pennsylvania is a good state to do time in. Something like California, or even Virginia, is totally different.

Started with watching court room reactions, now googles recommending this 😂 dope video 🤟🏽

Dude your videos are so lit! Keep em coming sir!

@death great vid and great stream lastnite wit the fireworks

Throwback Intro!!!👊⚡⚡

Great channel with lots of wisdom and advice! You should do a video about pen pal hustle scams.

That intro brought up some memories i dont miss 😂 TRAYS UP

NEW INTRO IS TOP NOTCH MY BOY 💯

When the door swings, you swing!

Always interesting videos man a lot of truth and wisdom.

Nice hat. Great work man. Thanks.

I flinched hard asf when you threw the punch 😂😂😂

Hey my brotha I been watching ur videos an wow....I never been an hope it never happens but man ur a very knowledgeable person......just listening to ur advise an knowledge.....just helping me in my own lifes problems...... much respect......

I was in prison for 5 1/2 years that was enough for me 18 years free from the system and clean and sober God bless you death great show!

This also applies not just to inmates, but to CO's. The first thing I told OJT's when training them: know your inmates and their habits and pay attention. You work a dorm long enough, you know when something's not right.

So helpful, ty

Hello mate! From London, England- love the intro.

I swear i started crying with laughter when you told the story about some dude getting knocked out before he got up from a sleep. That's some funny shit!

You better pop that blinker on bol😂🤣😂🤣😂

Real good information brother..keep up the good work.

Just Subscribed, you give great advice, not just prison, for life in General...

If I ever wound up in prison it seems it would be lots easier to taunt someone into killing me rather than all that nonsense.

another good one

Your vids are more helpful then people realize. I’m not a career criminal nor do I plan to go to jail. But I’ve been watching your vids so Incase I do end up behind bars I’m ready. So Incase for some reason I never get the chance. Thank you.

funny as hell. Im just gonna take your word for it though man!

How accurate is the movie Felon? And can you make a video of your top movies, being your a movie buff and all. Great content, one of the few "story times" that I can actually watch and be entertained.

6ix9ine need to be watching this video lmao

That look down at 3:12 you could tell old death was thinking about his holidays in the pen

The time is too great to do any crime. You can see the sadness on your face and hear it in your voice for these ppl. Please u all listen to this man. It's no joke. It's real

Good afternoon death squad!!!

Ngl when I saw the old intro I had to make sure I hadn't missed an old vid

Great video Big homie, what u think about how to deal with a “sleep your time away cellys”

I love these videos. I watch them everyday on my way to/from work. You should do standup 😂

I don't know why this was in my recommended videos, but I'm here for it. "Don't take them honey buns!" LOL

23 & 1 lets get it!!!!!
