I know Joe probably knows quite a few guys who went to prison and probably MMA guys wrapped up in the system too and maybe bring enough attention to it to keep some out of the life.

Chris Jones nah man. Guy getting booked next to you...don’t look....don’t look....*clears throat*......Dry Snitch!!!

[@stephenrhipp6926]

I did my time in the 80's. And its actually like he said. Its a violent world. In the 90's knew a guy who went in on a dui, came to old max. Came in on a 1 to 6, is now doing life without. You have no choice. You will step up and handle her business or you'll get got. Period.

[@williamcollins4545]

[@seekn.destroy4064]

@@Kabaselefh which he doesn't use his youtube to cross promote. He's probably full of shit. Not like he's a youtube troll.

That's just called... being healthy

[@NMX777]

I just wanted to say that I'm very impressed with your interview and of Wes's responses to your questions. I know he was not concocting any type of an answer he was simply relating the facts of how it works in prison and in doing that he brought me to a realization that prison has actually evolved into exactly the type of system that prisoners need... in order to go to the next level of understanding. The enforcement of rules by the inmates themselves is so harsh and so direct that these men have to learn to become disciplined they have to learn to hold their tongue.. they have to learn to use their minds to analyze a situation and arrive at a logical answer and the discipline to deal with their own emotions in a non destructive manner. Wes has obviously profited well from his trials while in prison.... It is evident to me that it is just the beginning of his Ascension in becoming a better human being. Most of us have much we can learn from his own experience and I'm glad that he has chosen to share those experiences with us and that he is able to articulate the facts in a direct and detailed manner. And also a big thank you to Herc for knowing how to conduct an interview in an effective and interesting manner. You ask the right questions and you give your guests ample time to elaborate on their answers. Thanks

[@christopherdanjou]

Wes Watson is legit this dude you know is for real

[@JoshuaSurufka]

He sounds like if Steve-O drank some throat calming tea

[@ericsneddon5926]

Unfortunately alot of people who are "intense" misunderstand that reacting like a 6 year old yelling, fighting, ring slighted, taking resentment. That is the easy behavior it is literally how children react when things don't go there way. The hard thing to do is let it go, walk away, turn the cheek wish them the best. Living the street life is the EASY way out.

[@daviddufresne343]

I wouldn't say that. Most people turn the cheek out of fear. But sometimes, heck most times, if its some petty nonsense its the better way to deal with things.

[@sithsoldier98]

Lacing us up with prison knowledge and experience.. Thanks 🤙🏿

[@jpminj5746]

Wes your time wasn't spent in vein. You are shedding the truth to those who don't need to go down these roads. Thats gangster.

[@chriswilson1968]

The movie Shot Caller was the most realistic person portrayal I've seen.

[@nicolasbaker9601]

A co worker who did 13 said the exact same thing

[@Nscape-dl2js]

I'm a simple man, i see wes i press like

[@shimenga1]

i appreciate how Herc realises how crazy this cat he's talking to sometimes sounds to us the audience and tempers some of his comments with an explanation

[@jackrose5077]

This video is amazing, and these comments are hilarious, glad to see a great combination of a solid community and content creation.

[@mattysquizzato7094]

This guy speaks the truth. Excellent interview.

[@SMOGDOGG949]

Look Wes you are entirely wrong on a couple key points. The biggest point is NLR has been out the hat for a few years now. Also they got rid of "indeterminate SHU sentences. Indeterminate SHU sentences were eradicated thru inmates bringing pelican bay type living conditions to the press. Hunger strikes were in full effect for quite some time. Only canteen was allowed to be consumed.From there protests started, mainly outside prisons with major SHU populations. The inmates developed a peace treaty in 2012 I believe. Basically the "big homies" initiated a "peace treaty". This treaty included Northern Hispanics and southern Hispanics no longer being "on site" with each other. Whites of course abided by that as well. However Southsiders/Whites,.Northerns/Blacks and others still didnt "program". Seperation on the yard was still very much in effect. Whites were not playing basketball with blacks... The treaty I'm sure is still in effect because it was essentially developed to get the "big homies" out the SHU. A kite was written with names on it, intended for the COs to read it and inmates thru out the prison system as well. It basically said we needed to follow normal protocol however violence/riots between races were to be avoided at all possible costs. Legislation against indeterminate SHU program has been in full effect. Now we got this 50/50 yard bullshit. The COs are upset that not only has the treaty prevented violence, but laws have been passed keeping people out of prison entirely. In addition eligible inmates are receiving early kicks (33 percent on level 1) and sentencing enhancements are dropping - causing some inmates to get out years earlier. All of these factors are a threat to the Correctional Officer's job security. In order to ensure that no more job cuts are made to COs they have developed what they call "positive programming yards". Aka 50/50 yards. Integration of PC and GP is a reality on every level 1 yard now. Take off on a PC by yourself or with someone else you go to the hole and pick up more time. Some level 2s are like this as well. Eventually the.entire system well be integrated. A.blatant ploy by the Prison Guard Union to increase violence thus remain gainfully employed with opportunity for promotion and more job opportunity. Supposedly these yards offer programs that help offenders succeed upon parole. Programs that they are alleging should be available to PC and GP. The word: you got 24 hours to get off any 50/50 yard. Even if u got two weeks to the pad if you dont either report from the hole or go back to the GP building you came from you will be put in the hat. So if u get 16 with half and want to stay solid expect to max out that 16 months from the hole. You leave the hole and get put right back onto a 50/50 and are expected to do it again. The CDCR insanity is in full effect and well only.get worst. This is more incentive for me and others to do NOTHING BUT WALK THE TIGHTEST OF LINES TO AVOID GOING UPSTATE. As a striker I got that all day.

[@FreshOutSeries]

Thanks for this info. People need to hear it!

[@eldnahym]

Thanks for the info. Crazy ish

[@bertilfaux4194]

It's gotta be or gonna be rockin' and rollin'

[@jorgegonzalez-ju9km]

Tell me more about the first 3 paragraphs What does “didn’t program mean”

[@danielponce4728]

There is no more PC in Cali . They are mixing them up with gp shit is all fucked up

[@paul2827]

Thank you for putting these videos out. They are great for educating people that think Hollywood movies about prison are factually correct.

[@djwaters22]

YES. Wes and Big Herc combo! Love this shizzz

[@ashleebritton1234]

You can tell that he is legit. I hope the young ppl that watch this listen and make better choices. Prison life is not fun & you can never get the time back that you lost. this guy is real and very entertaining

[@marksimmons1289]

I'm new to the channel,Wes is a stand up guy and brutality honest. I have nothing but respect for him, doing 10 years and after release doing the rite thing.

[@JaimeG88]

I discovered Wes through this channel, and I gotta say, these interviews are the best so far. His solo youtube shit is good and I've watched all his vids twice, but I gotta admit, hearing him talk to someone else is even more interesting. Not even the long interview with Simon Rex was as good as these episodes of Prison Talk

[@G-Man78]

This man is/was _coldblooded_ lol

[@Switch78]

I'm an ex con from the UK and the effects on my mind and intensity have come to learn it's traumatic shit living like that so getting my mind right and clean of heroin and crack for two years now has helped. Me. Its in the mind. I can relate to saying that it would almost make u look down and despise those guys who get all excited wen they see a hit. I can relate to that. But for me concentrating on tryi g to understand how badly prison can damage your mind and then address's g. This first, has been the only way I've cleaned my act up and could begin to make moves to do so. There is a way to move forward for anyone doubting it. Peace ✌️🙏
