[@dustinmackbee]

In my 20's I worked at a homeless shelter and a co-worker, older guy, use to bully and yell at this guys and I couldn't understand why until one day I ran into him and his wife at a restaurant and OG barely said a few words to me aside from introducing me and that was when I put it together and realized he behaved that way at work because he couldn't at home because his wife ran everything. Sixty year old man was overcompensating at work because as you say, he "didn't have control in his home and came to work to feel powerful". I actually began to feel sorry for him more than the guys he barked at because the guys he barked at were probably homeless because they refused to have his sad existence.

[@AK-jt7kh]

Thank you for weighing in. It's hard to judge his behavior if you're not a CO, because obviously it's a rough job with some dangerous people. It's nice to hear someone say that Mitchel's behavior was uncalled for. I like to think that's not the norm.

[@flea41593]

AugReady...If we weren't supposed to laugh, why tell it at a comedy show, on a comedy program, on comedy central? If we asked Ali, do you really think he would say he doesn't want people to laugh? He's a comedian. This is what they do. They make light of the worst things in the world, nothing is off limits. He's an amazing storyteller and makes you feel compassion for him, but we are also supposed to laugh. That's why he is so good, he can blend both seamlessly. You are extremely close minded. You assume you know more about the life of an inmate than an actual inmate, just because you share the same race as Ali. Even though you're an engineer and mock people who have gone to prison ("degenerate"). Also, logically your argument with OP makes no sense. You misinterpreted the comment as criticism. Then go on to say that the story isn't supposed to be funny. OP said "the story is more interesting than funny," you also claim the story isn't supposed to be funny. So what the fuck are you arguing? You said he was downplaying his comedy. No, that's exactly what the fuck you're doing. You are basically saying that it's not comedy and that 60% of his audience doesn't understand it. You've shown a lot of terrible qualities in this short exchange of comments. Be unhappy somewhere else please, we are just trying to enjoy Ali's COMEDY.

He cried while having to strip in public part of the prison because he has made false claims and they do so for his and their safety. Ask anyone who’s done time or jailers.

Some fun facts: Al-Amin means “the trustworthy”, which is one of the nicknames of prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), so is Mustafa, which means “the chosen one”. In this amazing story, the trustworthy showed care and raised concern, while the chosen one made the decisive decision of going and rescuing Ali from the crime. Ali’s last name “Siddiq” means “loyal and truthful”, and Ali Siddiq is known for his unique and mesmerising gift of recounting true stories in a captive manner. Sometimes we see interesting links between one’s Muslim name and his mission/role/character in life. May Allah keep guiding brother Ali Siddiq and improving his character and raising his status in this life and the next.

Explain why if its so disproportionate why if they messed up the one time do they recommit the same crime. Its not like the opportunity to succeed isnt the same for every person in america. Also prison systems have highschool ged programs. They offer college courses. They have work programs which help inmates develop societal skills to acclimate themselves. They also have psychologists who will meet with these people and work with them. So to say this place targets people with no help to rehabiliate them is a scapegoat to ignorance.

The audience only laughed when his storytelling "invited" them to do so (with certain looks, words, and tones).Remember, this was a comedy show, not a TED talk. Even if people felt uncomfortable with the subject matter, they would have been doing Ali an injustice by not supporting his performance, because it was exceptional (&, with comedy, you show support with laughter). Most importantly, if Ali had been offended by people laughing at his story, then he wouldn't have chosen to share it during a comedy show.

For anyone wondering why him telling his celly to not pee standing up is a big deal is because he's a Muslim. We have to pray in clean environments only, and not just anywhere. Cleanliness is a major part of out worship, and urine is considered one of the most impure substances a human can come across, because it has all the impurities of the body in it. That's why we often have to clean ourselves extensively if even a few drops of urine touch our skin after peeing, because it breaks our state of cleanliness.
