This is a very heart-felt video series of the emotional rollercoaster you were on in your 33 years. I know this is healing for you and helping and understanding for others. Helping others to not go down that path and understanding for those of us who have loved ones incarcerated to understand a little bit of thier situation. Thank you for sharing!

Loses his soul, peace of mind and the freedom of choice a human being possesses. I know people that have happily comprised all that for an "easy" life (ostensibly it is) of never having to pay a bill or fill a fridge with food, or organise eating, personal hygiene, washing clothes and generally living. Some dudes are happy with the thought of not having to run any aspect of their life, and will do anything and everything to stay locked up all their life, each to their own!

Hey Bank I can tell you had some trauma in those early days, because I did not see you smile like you normally do when you're telling these stories. No one can even know unless they've been through this type of ordeal. And I could see the trauma and fear this caused. The PTSD you go through is unspeakable, unsightly, chaotic, unforgiving, and real. Ultimately a lot of people upon release are forever traumatized and have PTSD making it hard to function after they're released. You painted that whole picture for us Bank. Thanks, God bless you made it through.

Another great video Banky. What I love is how you walk us through the mental and emotional aspects of how you adjust to prison life. And that's the thing most prison KZbinrs only talk about the situations that take place but you give a step by step guide on what you did to adjust and you actually put us in your shoes telling your stories and you speak on the feelings most people feel but won't talk about openly. I appreciate you for being a real one Banky and sharing your experience in these videos. Peace and Happiness unto you brother Bank. Salute. 🥊💯💪😎

All mothers are incredible first off as they give you the gift of life. The role they play thereafter determines just how incredible they continue to be, especially when they have to contend with certain types of sons! I've put my mother through a great deal and she's strong and loyal to the core so has supported and stood by me all my life whenever I've deserved it or not, which I'm forever grateful for and she is generally an amazingly great lady anyway, very proud of her intelligence, strength integrity and class, and would take a bullet in a heartbeat for her! It's to do more with firstborns apparently. Now if I'm correct which I know I am I can apply all of that and more to Banky's old lady; that truly IS incredible!! They don't even make 'em Iike the old skool anymore Bank man! I hope not to be speaking out of turn but it seems to me that Mama Pound would have been instrumental in her son's survival during the bleakest ever period he mentioned here 😂

I'm from Landover so I'm local my brother. But what resonated with me was I contemplated suicide in the jail. Never made it to prison but I told myself I don't know if you can do this until my Uncle gave me some advice. Also, 1 day feels like 72 hours in there. I went to sleep and thought I killed 4 hours but it was only 45minutes. I had a dream and all. I said this is the real deal. Thank God for you my brother and I'm behind you 130%. 🙏🏿 💪🏿
