Hello Joshua, I am 53yrs. old educated and never been to prison. I studied Psychology and Sociology, not to brag but to tell a bit about me. We have different backgrounds but you are so well spoken, intelligent and definately aware of self. You are a valuable part of society and your voice is vital to all of us. I commend your blog, it has substance and is a great teaching tool of honesty and you also give off a humble and caring vibe. Thanks for you channel, Gary

Defending yourself with a knife against 3 guys is using too much force?! That judge is a joke.

No one mentioned the poor audio in your other video because they were afraid you might give them a big hug in response.

I accidentally stabbed him 3 times in the back trying to give him a hug your honour I swear

Females, Drugs, and Money is the recipe for a jail sentence

On your own property should have been no time at all, if anything dude should’ve been charged.

You honestly need to write a book about your life thus far - you articulate very well and you have obviously grown and learned from your mistakes. I commend you for putting your life out there for everyone to hear. You project a very honest vibe. Great channel.

I don't think I have binge watched a KZfaq channel's videos like this for a few years... Holy hell, you are an absolutely amazing storyteller and a much stronger man then I will ever be, both in strength and willpower. Thanks for the hours of videos man! This topic is fascinating to me, and you answer questions that I never even knew I wanted to know!

Lol I died laughing when you made the suction sound. I love the unnecessary detail, cuz that's all anyone wants

mad respect 🤙 I myself took a bad turn at a really young age and got into some serious shit and drugs and the streets and it took me alot of heartbreak, pain, tears, and hard lessons I had to learn on my own before I got sick of living life that way. it's amazing how all the years of slingin shit and running around with horrible people I thought was family and stealing robbing people.... I never thought or really felt scared..scared for myself maybe but scared and never thinking of the consequences or my future..I figured I'd end up dead from someone else or me ODing, or in prison.... but I look back now and I wouldnt change a thing. I had my 3 years clean in February and I thank God for it everyday but mad respect to you and to everyone who came up from the ashes and made it....and to all the loved ones we lost along the way 🙏❤

Dude this Chanel is a gold mine waiting to blow up ‘ keep it up ,

"It was ten inches long" *holds hands 2ft apart* 😂😂

Im happy youre here to help spread your message and have completely transcended into having a new meaning in life, love it g

Love your testimony! God bless you and your family! You are here for a reason!

Dam bro . Your videos are helping me through a rough and uncertain time in my life. Thanks man.

Now because you got locked up you are gonna get youtube famous. Everything has a reason

The sound you mentioned is because you probably stabbed him in the lung.

Lmao. I keep rewinding it while he says I winged that sucker across my neighbors back yard. Lol.

The way you tell your stories it really makes it seem like I'm actually at the(in the story ) scene, Idk sounds crazy but my opinion. I love it.

Never been to prison,not planning on going either but your videos are very interesting. Can't stop watching. Thanks and keep em coming!

This channel isnt a channel I would normally watch but I am a new subscriber. I enjoy hearing what you have to say. It is very informative and interesting. It is a point of view from a different angle. Keep up the awesome work!

This is why I have security cameras at my house that could of changed ur story up so much man I’m glad ur out and doing good.

Hey Man, I'm a new subscriber. Just wanted to check in and let you know how much I appreciate what you're doing. I really believe that you're providing a valuable, almost scared straight style service with this channel. Keep up the great work... Rob

I’ve been binge watching all of your stories all day. Definitely you got a new subscriber 👍👍. Much respect ✊ from Halifax, Virginia

"I accidentally stabbed him 3 times." Still not as bad as Varg Varkines who said "I accidentally stabbed him 23 times"

Never been to jail. But love your channel. You are very well spoken and a lot of these stories will help keep people out of prison. So thank you very much and keep up the good work

I dunno why I didn't watch this vid sooner but glad I finally did! Tbh it didn't matter what u did as I knew it couldn't be as serious if ur out in the free world now and fkn doing amazing! Love that family and relationships is ur top priority as it really is the best when u reach our age. Much love and respect to u and urs!

U were made for this type of job my dude! Keep up the fantastic work ❤️

My friend was sort of in the same situation you were in but he was the one that got jumped & stabbed. I just got the the park to play ball and everyone is going crazy. My friend is a body builder/boxer. I think it's an adrenaline thing, he didnt feel it but everyone saw him leaking from his side and back. He was all riled up and didnt know he could've died so I told someone to hold him, talk to him, make him sit or lay down so I could get my car. I pulled my car up to the basketball court and put him in the car and had someone else to ride along so they could put pressure on the wounds. On the way to the hospital, I was stopped for doing damn near 100. I had all the windows down so once the cop saw my friend in the back bleeding everywhere he just said "Oh Shit!... follow me" he ran back to his car, put the sirens on and we took the emergency lane all the way to the exit near the hospital. When we got to the hospital, he asked where it happened because he didn't get a call on his radio and asked for our names and my number and he took off after that. An hour later he found the guys a mile away and one of them still had the bloody knife on him. He came back to the hospital to fill us in on what happened but had to leave to do a bunch of paperwork. He needed 3 blood transfusions. The doc said he was lucky due to the muscle mass on his body and fast thinking of people around him.

I enjoy your channel. You are so smart! I'm a gifted teacher for 20+ years. I learn so much from you. So much talent. So real. Thanks for teaching me so much!

sending some love to the channel from Chicago, between cook county jail and other experiences, its nice to see a well spoken, well kept brother telling it like it is man....keep swinging....

You are doing great job people are lucky to have a friend like you

Yo.bro you 4real need to write a book. You could make even more bank than youre bringing in now and it could possibly positively change lives 4real! Glad I came across your channel. You remind me alot like my brotha from anotha beautiful mutha! RESPECT!

Finally , I'm not a day one subscriber, I got in around 2 months ago.... I have to tell you, the stories you are telling us about your experiences are great brother keep them Janks coming!

Ole Death has come a long way.. Congratulations on your success bro! I've been riding with you for a long time now! 🫡

In Florida you could have beaten all charges under stand your ground

I dig you dude. You're cool, but you need to move down south in the sticks. We CAN and DO defend ourselves down here. All you need is a no trespassing sign.

Imagine throwing a knife and it landed on someone

Good for you, standing your ground, protecting your home and family. I can't believe the judge didn't throw your case out. He should have.

Looking at my first bid thank you josh I feel like watching your videos have helped me a lot just on some of what to expect on the inside you’ve been a real inspiration to me and congratulations on the new addition to the family

Damn bro you’re blowing up it was just about a week ago and you were at 6k. Keep doing what you’re doing👍

No shame you stood your ground. I went through the same ordeal in 98. Charges were dismiss.

Audio is great on this one. Enjoyed your story as I have all of your videos, so far. God Bless you and your family and may the New Year bring you all good health, happiness and peace! 🙏❤️🤗

You're helping me out more than you know. God Bless. Johnny Havok

What kind of dope dealer goes to the police? Especially over a situation that he brought on himself?

Wait a min. So you went to jail for protecting yourself? Wtf

2,000 views to over 500 thousand I been rocking with you since 200 Thousand plus subs you rock death hope you hit a mil soon you deserve it bro

Thanks for sharing your story💖 I definitely don't blame you ❣

"i accidentally stabbed him 3 times"

They hit me with a stalking charge for a mutual fight in traffic. Guy said I followed him looking for trouble. In reality we were looking for each other. Luckily I beat that because stalking another man wasnt something I wanted on my paperwork.

I’m glad you didn’t get more time! It’s too bad you got any time considering you were defending yourself on your own property. I’m happy to see you’re doing well now! Congratulations on your channel! Great content! 👏👏👏

Glad I caught the updated video with audio 😅sound ✔️ good

A woman caused my son to go to jail, she lied he was a,mma fighter, big and tall, the guards killed a girl named Jody husentrut, my son was murdered because he knew that the sherrifs dept and the guards were involved in her disappear, my child would never have narked, they tazer him he fell they broke his neck, he was 28 Father of four babies, they got away with it. Just stay straight kiddo. Life is too short and precious to be in prison wasting time.

I spent 4 yrs in prison in Texas and 1 yr in Florida. Love your vids. Swole sammy was on point. Have you done any snickers explosion cakes for da fans. Girls luv da sweetstuff xoxo

I admire your honesty straight up!! Just live your best life and stay away from toxic people!!! Maybe you should take a few pointers from your brother. Stay up 💜

man i like what your doing bro....i just came across your video the other day right...truthfully, i thought nothing of it ,just another random video on the tube....then i come back an scroll down and i see alot more videos of all these wild ass prison storys ..i will admit man im stuck...see myself have been to prison twice ...nothing to brag about at all i just relate to all of these storys caused i lived it also and i feel this is a good thing ....its tough being an excon....see normal just isnt real when your reallity is broke....always on edge...ready to take a head off because of the way somebody was looking at me...oh the best one...everybody is a doctor and your crazy and they all know why...people dont have a clue.....keep it up bro...

I normally don't watch a full youtube video, but your story was so Interesting, I listened to the whole thing

Spat out my drink once I heard the suction sound 😂

The audio is fine on this one pal. Sorry that you went to jail for just defending yourself on your own property ! I reckon that judge was not thinking straight. Much respect from Australia.

Hello Josh I am a new subscriber, fascinated with your stories I've never met anyone who has been to prison glad you've turned you life around you have a lovely wife and family, thank you so much for sharing you experiences with us...from Rosalind in England x

Referring to bad audio quality: "People make mistakes" Referring to stabbing someone: "I'm glad I did it" Hahaha 😂 how can you say that and still come across as one of the most genuine, humble and sincere people on KZfaq? This is crazy but I still love your stories! ❤ from 🇬🇧

bro ive just found your channel watched at least 8 or 9 of your video's some really interesting stuff keep up the good work ! plus the video on how you make a living is awesome yours and your family art work on the boards looks dope, for a new video make a man cave tour?

I know a guy who had an argument with his sister & it upset HER BF. Her BF went to HIS APARTMENT & was gonna "TRY" to give him a BEATDOWN, she knew it would not end well cause he was a guy who....lets say, "WENT HARD IN THE PAINT!" Long story short, the BF ended up in a shit bag from a steak knife to the gut(10 inch cut from what I was told). Anyhow, my friend was arrested BUT about 2-2 & half weeks later, ALL CHARGES AGAINST HIM WERE DROPPED due to that fact that the BF WENT TO HIS HOME WITH THE INTENTION OF HURTING HIM! Your story & his story are VERY VERY SIMILAR. I hate that this happened to u & my heart goes out to u. I've been watching your vids 4 a little while now & I am gonna subscribe.

Congratulations on how fast this channel took off. You said you hated deleting the other video because it had 2000 views. Now this video has well over 200,000 views 👍

damn dude thats crazy. sounds like if you had a competent lawyer all charges would be dropped.

you and AfterPrisonShow are the only ones i know that do the youtube stuff for prison stories and what not

Say Death I just wanna say RESPECT 2 u man. I stumbled across your channel day b4 ystdy and I been binging it str8 since. I feel your content but mostly it's just good 2 hear a real person speaking real facts on real s***. I moved to a new state a few years ago and the amount of fakeness I've encountered in 4 years has literally fried my brain. Saying that, your sincerity rings thru my KZfaq and it's soothing like cocoa butter on ashy-ass kneecaps n elbows. I wish u all best success in your enterprises and endeavors, keep spreading truth AND positivity just like you've been doing. May GOD continue to shine blessings on you and your family and your loved ones man, frfr. Aloha from Hawaii by way of Long Beach CA.

Wild Story man😅nice The charismatic Story-Teller survived all this Trouble and changed His Life to better😅!!!

I got locked up for defending myself at 17 now I'm 20. Doing better in life.

Guess you turning a messing into a blessing

God bless mate, love from London

You went to prison over a woman?? Figures 🙄 I’m just very happy for you that you’ve turned yourself around and now you’re living large enjoying life. You deserve it. Please stay out of trouble and take care of yourself and your family. They are very lucky to have you

I am a lady in her 60’s and love listening to you and glad to hear you are married and doing well and have attained a lot of street wisdom I’m learning from you

You got his lung bro. Thats what that air sound was bro.

Thank God I wasnt found guilty for 99% of these crimes I was commiting out on the streets 💯 that's why i am suscribed to your channel because I can relate to most of your stories,keep it up Brother..

Your story reminds me of when I was 19 and was in a similar spot. I wasn't in such a high-stakes situation, but I was definitely one second away from hurting someone in a way which would've landed me in prison for life. I can still remember that feeling I got when I decided to put down the knife. Watching your videos is oddly comforting to me, like being able to watch the bullet that was dodged in slow motion to appreciate just how blessed I am to be here. Thank you for your wisdom and sharing your experiences, brother.

There's just something about your videos that I think are dope! I hope you never stop because you have something good going here for you. I personally think ure way better then Big Herc and APS. (No disrespect to them)

If he still kept attacking you, then you were still defending yourself. It was self defense, if I were on the Jury, you would have my innocent vote! I hear the inmates find out pretty quickly what a person is in for, because you were defending yourself, did that account for them respecting you more, or does it matter? Did you have a job in prison and if you wanted to continue education, is one able too? Have you seen the movie, “Shawshank Redemption”, if you have... did you care for it?

I just knew you were from somewhere in the midsouth. Keep up the content...never boring.

Dude I like wut your doing with these videos , they are great . I’ve been to a honor camp for 2 yrs and a few county’s . My father is a lifer in prison so I’ve been visiting my dad every week since the age of 1 yrs old he’s a NF member out of Watsonville ca your videos keep me focused on staying out of trouble I’m 40 now and I’ve had a hard life my mom got AIDS and my dad’s a lifer so yeah

Ppl think when u stab someone it’s like the movies...it’s not unless u put a bone crusher into a vital organ, u gotta keep stabbing kuz they r gnna keep coming at u till their adrenaline rush wears out

This man jus admitted that all the crimes he was found innocent for...he actually did lmao

Hello! Nice to meet you. You’re channel came up in my feed regarding the dickhead Watts. You are a breath of fresh air in these crazy days. I appreciate your honesty. I think that you are providing a wonderful service in sharing your truth with people who will listen. I believe that you are chosen and blessed. Looking forward to listening to more videos. I have subscribed. God bless you and your family. ☮️🙏🏽❤️

Long time follower on TV. But SALUTE TO U N UR CHANNEL!! JERZEY IN DA BUILDING!!💯💯💪🏽⚀⚁❤💙💛🖤

"the blade was about 10 inches long..." *measures two feet

You may have already answered this in another video, but when did you start following a lifestyle with crime and why did it start? Like was your upbringing tough? I didn’t have it easy growing up, and am always curious about other people’s stories. Interesting channel! Good work.

@Lockdown 23and1 I’m a 15 year old I’m in dirt all the time and I’m trying to stop and your channel shows me why I shouldn’t be doing the shit prison no joke and I no that

Hey, bro I just found your page. I just wanted to say that I really appreciate you an give you props! I've been to prison myself here in Ga. I disn't do as long as you but I've got around 7 or 8 in an out. I did in fact prison from 2013 to 2016. So I fell ya I have a really big story an prison was what I needed to save my life! Maybe one day I could tell my story...thanks for all you do brother! Jason

Lol man gotta give the dude props for still coming at you after getting stuck 3 times

Lockdown, you need a podcast immediately. I hope you're already looking into it. PRISON theme'd podcast; lots of humor, real life tales, success stories, warning shows, encouragement shows, family shows, shows about life, the possibilities are ENDLESS. Get at least one good, strong producer, at least 1 solid tech person. THEN, my friend, you need to acquire a sponsor for the show. I have plenty of ideas. You will be making good money for your family in no time! God Bless You

Thanks for sharing..I show these to trouble youth and it sure has helped alot. Hopefully i hear back

Happy you are out

“I’d still be in there eatin ramen noodle sandwiches right now” hahaha

I hope your life is better now you seem like a good guy just born in the wrong place spread the word be cool may god be with you peace always from the UK..

We enjoy listening to you. You've got a nice channel. The commercials just pop in at all the wrong moments lol guess I should pay for KZfaq

You gotta take care of yourself and home for sure...legally or not you did what most would do...just glad your out and willing to share your experiences...just may keep some of these kids from doing it wrong and serving time...time is precious cause we really don't have enough of it...so thank you for doing what you do...peace and love to you Joshua.

A damn 🦏.., I guarantee you man, u were squaring off with Shredder Bebop & fckn' rocksteady. Glad u remaining on a right track. Stay safe.

I feel everything happens for a reason and i gave up everything and turned it around man. Keep on bro

I've seen a few of your videos over the years but this was the first time seeing this. Personally, I think you needed a better lawyer for self defense but knowing how things work it isn't surprising. I've had that nightmare for years of ending up in your situation because people don't realize that can be anyone's reality...even if it is a case of mistaken identity and they come to your house thinking you're someone else. Hopefully more people hear your story because this land has plenty of occupancy in the legal "system" and they prefer to keep you in it as long as possible. Keep up the great work!

I definitely hear your stories im glad you home. I just hope and prey all goes well in life in your favor. Love your stories.
