Growing up in California's Prison System - Matt V - Fresh Out Interviews

Big Herc met with Matt V, a south sider from the Inland Empire, whose story is centered around the psychological aspect of Prison. Many do not understand the various forms of psychological warfare that takes place once you are on the inside. It can come from guards and inmates but the worst, is when you are your own worst enemy. Take a look at Matt's perspective as he explains segregation, the disconnect from family and the struggles of life on the outside.

[@PurpleScoutCookies]

Your interview style where you just let the other person talk is so rare yet so valuable. You get a much more real conversation when the person gets to take it where they want and talk about what they found important rather than you stringing them along so they can answer bullet points.

[@natureboy5518]

agreed

[@andys6967]

Other people try to control the speaker and steer them in the direction they want it to go, but Big Herc just wants to hear their story as much as we do. He knows is not about the host.

[@mikehunt4797]

Ya a lot of interviewers are retarded the other reason Herc let's him talk is because Herc basically knows everything he's gonna talk about besides his personal experiences.

[@Whunter22]

[@timothy2902]

yup

[@wjpperry1]

I really liked this one. Not a shot-caller, not a kingpin or banger, just a regular dude. An intelligent young man who can maybe help others stay free by sharing his experience

[@drillemgarcia361]

William Perry Yeah this is one of my favorite interviews , but he is a southsider he said it multiple times.

[@Calilou52]

If you like him for being a regular ass dude in the pen, youd really enjoy the channel Lockdown 23& 1! Hes done a decent amount of time in prison but never got down with gang life or anything, but he has all the basic prison knowledge. He also is a gamer and a cool ass dude

[@AntonioSaved]

William Perry the most gangster dudes I knew looked just like “regular dudes” it’s crazy you wouldn’t suspect they gang bang but they’re down for their shit. My big homie was dangerous and he looked like a “regular dude” lmao. Haven’t seen him in a year though since I got out that life.

[@Karbkfd578]

@@AntonioSaved real gangsta's are lowkey.

[@BrettonFerguson]

@mr facts "All Mexicans are southsiders" Incorrect. Mexicans are split. Hispanic gang members from southern California are considered to be “Southsiders.” Hispanic gang members from northern California are considered to be “Nortenos.” Southsiders owe their allegiance to the Mexican Mafia, while Nortenos owe their allegiance to Nuestra Familia. The statewide north-south dividing line between Norteños and Sureños has roughly been accepted as Salinas and Fresno.

[@ba8898]

[@focknfree]

I really liked this dude. His story shows that prison truly fucks with your mind. He's been out 11yrs & the way he talks about still struggling with social interactions and responsibilities sounds like he was released 6 months ago. The PTSD from prison is real. Watching your vids are very entertaining, but it's also motivation to stay the hell away from prison.

[@wolfumz]

focknfree yeah my thoughts exactly. Matt has a nervous personality, he has some trauma in his past, and I don't think he's really got the tools to manage his anxiety. He spent his first years as an adult locked up and probably formed some persistent negative beliefs about himself in there. He would probably get a lot of help from talking to a counselor or therapist. He probably had some of this stuff going on before he went in, RE: anger, getting overwhelmed, craving freedom from responsibilities.

I know this is the way a lot of people role, but I think it's wrong to bring other people in on your shit like that. If you have dirty guns, take care of them yourself without asking your friends to put themselves in legal danger too for something they haven't anything to do with. It's a different thing if the friends offer to help, and if I was his friend and felt I could bail him out, I would have done so. But if I was the dude with the guns, I wouldn't be going around expecting my friends to take part of the responsibility for me.

[@chrishughes1103]

I just want to say to you Matt, I just want to let you know, you speak with sage wisdom. I was knocked off a motorcycle when I was 19, and I spent the next six and a half years in and out of hospital. I don't pretend or imagine myself to have been through anything like a half or less of the crushing experience that you have lived through, and all brought about through the actions at that drive through where someone lost their self control, willfully, and came verbally charging at you for the difficulties created by the automated system, and subsequently called the police, and everything that came consequent of that tiny moment. And I don't suppose you would have had that damn gun in your hand if it hadn't been all too easily available. But what you experienced from that moment of your life at 18, and all the control over your life being ripped from you, resonates to me so much, and my own experience of somehow loosing so very much control over my future life from the age of 19. I eventually was free of hospital, (not quite entirely, but mainly), at the age of 26, and I had never been away from my family and loved ones, but I still found it difficult to find my way back to find a proper path in life. But I am more hugely lucky than words can ever say, I survived a very grave brain injury and nerve injury, and I can walk and think and speak with full capacity. No one has more to be thankful for than me. Thanks for doing this interview, I hope you are really thriving and doing brilliantly. To listen to you speak, it's clear you've got a lot of good to bring into the world. The past is past eh, the future is bright! Cheers.

I honestly think these videos will spark the mind to help reform the prison system.

[@money2363]

Damn he went threw this over a drive thru argument

[@theroaringblaze2742]

People who have done time have the most interesting life stories to tell.

[@neurocytohemotoxic]

I feel bad for Matt. He made a shitty decision when he was a kid and it fucked up his entire life.

[@SimplyLimbo]

I cant even begin to describe how recognizable this is. Great interview !

[@slyfox1483]

Yooo this guys genuine. Not to mention funny. Good interview, and great job interviewing. Herc, you most always let your guests speak openly and unhindered 💪🏼🙏🏼 appreciate ya

[@200proofabsolute8]

Great interview. Herc let him speak, and Matt covered a lot of angles most don't when speaking on this topic.

[@savedbygrace8030]

Great Interview. By far one of the most honest Interviews Ive seen. Matt is very Honest and Humble he doesn't try to be Mr. Super Ex-con bad ass he tells it how it is. Matt should go to juvenile detention centers and speak to the youth for intervention programs.

[@hooh1644]

Some would and I agree with the thought in general... Sadly many of the youths won't listen if they don't respect you, and this guy not presenting himself as a violent, hustling, drug dealing dude would not be someone they'd respect at that point in their lives because they value what they perceive as power (violence, high criminality, etc).

[@MrBlitzpunk]

I really love this one because it's so easier to grasp for someone who's never been to prison how he explains his experience And he's a good story teller too

[@jesserapkin2660]

My stomach felt ill At around 4:50 when he said he asked his "friends" to handle the car...big mistake.

[@KrisTheCodeManDude]

Jesse Rapkin that was the mistake

[@jasondaws4172]

Yeah why didnt he get rid of them himself. That was stupid

[@GBHanny8]

I would have been like "Yay, free guns"

[@anthonyd5884]

Never leave something that critical to anyone. Great story.

Hey Herc, just discovered your Fresh Out Series...can't tell u how grateful I am for you doing this...My heart is heavy & nowhere to turn to...for an understanding on prison life, EXTREMELY worried about what my lil brother will soon be facing. 😢😢 Matt V. Thanks 4 sharing ur story...I grew up in the IE, Rialto also...my bro is at WVDC....broken. 😢😢😭 God Bless u Both! Much ❤ & Mad Respect.

[@michaeltaylor3962]

S cell Do you actually believe Jesus will protect you? Religon helps alot of people mentally but physically, come on.

[@michaeltaylor3962]

I understand why you feel that way and given what you just shared it seems your views are set in stone. Don't get me wrong though I'm not hating on you. In fact if you wouldn't mind I would like to know what occurred and lead to you getting assaulted? But if you don't want to go into details I understand, either way peace brother.

[@XBr0wN3y3zX]

S cell Thank u so much for your compassionate & caring message. I pray for him all day everyday. I ask the Lord to be merciful & protect him. I pray God will forgive him for what he's done & keep him out of harms way. We've always been close & I'd be torn apart if he was taken from me. My heart breaks for him everytime I watch him walk away. I have sent him a few spiritual books that has stories from inmates..& Bible verses. Again, thanks for your kind words. God Bless.

[@GnosticCushite]

XBr0wN3y3zX Where is WVDC? I did 4 years in CDC prisons and I ain't never heard of a WVDC

[@bobtran3368]

S cell so he chose you but let all the children die a sliw death through cancer. Wake up to your self. Get that head out your butt

[@brooklynboiprod]

You get the best people to interview

[@RUSure-jm9rp]

I hope and pray that Matt V made it this far. Big Herc, thanks for being your usual humane self and letting him get it all out.

[@matthewviramontes3131]

Thanks. And I'm still around.

[@jasonwilcoxen4121]

"The police just drove by" lol Love the show, btw.

[@jeremiahmuhammad8021]

This was an amazing interview, man. I feel for dude. Man Herc I pray and hope you get a larger platform man because this is too big for KZbin.

[@revfuryfoxfive1857]

Amazing interview. He should become a motivational speaker. He seems a natural. Thank you Big Herc and Matt for an hour of real talk.

[@Deadly_fox512]

This dude is extremely well spoken. Like damn. Lol

[@BANKYVIDZ]

Great interview. He's so bright & articulate.

[@1337pede]

Hey how many ex-cons have PTSD? I figure a lot of them actually need psychological counseling when they get out of that hellhole.

[@gunplaygaming7690]

A bunch but our country is pretty far behind on this kind of mental health issues.

[@ALCRAN2010]

@All Roads Lead Here , yup, some kids grow up in high stress, come out to adulthood with traumas. There's a guy David Goggins, has a great book, talks about callous in your mind and overcoming hard shit so you can be ready for hard shit to come. There's no rest my friend.

[@marlonlopez1196]

a 15 min argument changed his life forever. Good interview, glad he's telling his story to persuade other kids headed in that direction to think twice before doing street shit

[@samuelnatal3221]

Love the way he articulated himself, sounds very educated.

[@maxxmcreynolds6285]

Man this is some gold I love this page. Wish I had this before I went down. I'm 3 years out from a 5. Bless you Herc
