How I Survived 24 Years in Prison

[@sonnyhernandez5002]

"My videos reach who they need to" is true. I been through a lot of parallels as you homie but i took different paths here and there. I'm a veteran (oef/oif) and have been through the system and grew up mostly in CA systems once my family came to the US. Now as a viejo with kids, some even grown and myself being retired and disabled now, I volunteer with a few outreach programs and people always ask how and why I still do it. Just like the song said, foolish dreamers. They can take a lot from us but never ever take our cora, our alma, our mindset from us. WE will always have the power to determine how we live each day.

There's no reason why the number of likes shouldn't match the number of views. This was a good ass message . Keep them coming big dubs

[@vikinghorde3001]

So true. When I got my term I made myself remember everyday, that they will never take who I am. No one will ever recognize how valuable homies like you are.

[@lilbenghos]

I think your best videos are when you get to rambling. It feels like a genuine conversation.

[@changedman4life24years]

Great video bro, as someone who also did 24…no lies detected. God bless you✝️🙏🏼

[@felipemartinez8988]

Dubs on another level 💯🤝 watching late but here watching it , zoom is wanna my brother song 💪that's good you made it out and stay blessed 🙏

[@noelwhittington6457]

Thanks Dubs . Resonate with these real messages ..

[@HenryB60]

Thank you for your wisdom carnal I have a lot of respect for you as for me I didn't spend one day in prison. That's why I listen and pay attention to your words.

[@angelofelix9700]

Waking my dog in this cold ass weather in Kansas City sucks, but dubs dropped at the best time. Dubs you are the Ventura county representative because you do it with class, you’re insightful, and your humbleness is contagious. Keep it up man and you’ll be a major KZbinr making millions if you keep grinding like you have done in all parts of your life’s journey and the blessings will keep come!!!!

[@LecheConPollo-qk4pz]

[@Dylan-dw9jx]

Just watched this one today brother. I did 12 years prison here in Australia and ur right about leaving something there mentally after 10 years. Liked this story along with many of ur others, glad we made it out n got our lifes back much love from Australia

[@eliasguerrero7502]

Zoom is my wife’s favorite song. Her Tia used to play it all the time.

[@Spencer859]

What’s up dubs? The ONLY KZbin channel that I actually let the commercials run all the way through. Lol

[@lindadunn8787]

Gracias, Professor. Sincerely. I appreciate getting to sit as a student and learn at the age of nearly 73 lessons in courage, respect, and integrity. 🎉 Accountability. Business, Freedom. Limits. Thank you for showing up for me and others who need to hear what you said in this video.

[@GrimThe21]

24 years is a LOOOONG time. Do you ever think to yourself that this free life your living is just a vivid dream and your gonna wake up in your cell and completely lose it?. I appreciate you and your time sharing your stories as I’m sure some stories you tell bring back things you rather not remember so brightly.

[@J_to_the_G]

Mentally intact!? Cmon Dubs, you’re more fried than I am!!🤣🤣🤣 All love bro✊🏽 Almost forgot, Comment 🇲🇽💪🏽💪🏽🫡

[@CarlosG0224]

“If you said you are going to do something, you do it” Facts 💯. I think that is how many in our generation were raised.

[@tanna.williams5252]

Yep message got to where it needed to. ME i let my depression , no I have allowed my depression depression to keep me locked in my own little prison. I hate change but this shit isnt working for me. Your right not counting my blessings and seeing that I have it better than alot of people. Time for me to get up and start living again is what I am going to do. Thanks for the message. Sending you and your friends and family love and prayer. Keep bringing your messages

[@EduardoGarcia-tz7mp]

I needed this video. Thank you, Dubs. You always inspire and motivate me to be better.

[@anthonymartinez4307]

Clearing throat, me~me~me, slipping into darkness ~ howling at the moon…… Every time I watch your videos that’s the song that pops in my mind. Maybe in the mind of people who have survived such a long ride you just kept holding back the years….😎

[@foku9000]

In 1993 was 5 years old. Alot of your stories make me reflect on my own life and think about what I was doing in the outside world and how I could have avoided certain situations, friends, ect... Much love OC, keep em coming DUBS.

[@mauriceholder1386]

Man that's a very profound way of thinking. It's good advise in or out of the joint.

[@Schizniit]

I used to struggle a lot with addiction and depression and it took a lot for me to start getting out of that. Back then, I didn't have any motivation to solve any of my problems, I would just get some tar and get so high I wouldn't even be able to remember what I was depressed about. Every time I get depressed nowadays or feel like I'm not doing well enough, I just remind myself what I was doing 2 years ago, on the street scroungin up enough change to get my fix n just go find somewhere to nod off, now I'm actually able to provide for my family and they help keep me from getting too deep in my depression since I don't have a lot of downtime plus I'm able to see a therapist now and that really does help when you find a therapist you can really connect with.

[@bradpnw1897]

Got a lot of respect for what you did what you went through and how you are as a man now. You made the conscious choice to not let them lock your mind up also that's excellent, that being said it's unfortunate that you felt or you thought you needed to sell heroin to other people and keep them ensnared in something that not only were you not doing but you were profiting off of and there's a part of me that can understand why you would I just think that's too bad that you were using the hurt and pain of other people's addictions to help profit yourself and keep yourself in a better situation but it is what it is and I always appreciate you that you're not doing that anymore. Very glad you've turned your life around and are finding success even a little bit on the outside world I hope the same for the people that you dealt heroin to. I wish peace for you and your family, much respect.

[@margarethernandez07]

🤙🏽 on the status of your prison life .. and the struggles that you went through . Keep up the good work with your stories as well as your wicked laughed😂 Stay strong .. and keep it real .. happy holidays to you and family. Take care.💕

[@michaelleroux5879]

Some of the best words about ever heard sir. Thank you bud

[@rick2695]

It’s a trip dubs that’s the jam I us to love listening to the jam I never had no where near the same time but I can relate to the song

[@jaine2164]

Thank you for sharing. Your POV helps & reaches more than you know. Prison Ministry & Youth Outreach surely have blind spots. Working with uncandid voices we rarely get the whole picture.

[@Purposeoverpleasures]

These videos give me inspiration to keep going on mine if you can overcome all you have. Keep it up dubs. If I give up I realize that would be just weak of me. Look at what you can do you stood through and came through. You are inspiration.

[@tomking7080]

I just turned 46 years old a few days ago and what Dubs said here about expectations especially from other people is the TRUTH. This is some really good advice and if you’re younger pay attention to this and what Dubs said here and has been saying ever since he started his channel. I don’t know if Dubs reads these but I would like to ask Dubs if this is like going to therapy for him? Because I can see it being that for him. Which I think is awesome man. It’s like hitting two birds with one stone lol. Helping someone who might not be feeling the best about themselves and then also helping yourself?

[@nelsonlee9751]

You are right Dubs " self preservation is everything in life " great video 👍

[@eliasguerrero7502]

When I was locked up GOD showed me my mind wasn’t. I could always get away and be somewhere else in my mind. Good shit brother brown

[@doom8944]

All i can say after watching this.. i realized.. this is Best damn channel on KZbin, no joke. This video hit my right in the fuckin heart man.. i really needed this today... Thank you dubs

[@4life_a_wolf]

It's a trip," huh" how time out here don't wait for no one, and in prison time stop's. And it don't matter which way you turn it's always there, constantly reminding you, u got time.

[@Russ77704]

Keep it pushing g love the real content

This another great video; those thoughts that got you through prison also apply out here in the free world also

[@chrisrivera562]

Keep sending the message. Someone life is waiting to be saved.

[@micahharkins7121]

I enjoy watching videos like this. I have overcome a lot in my life and I enjoy seeing others that go through hard times and overcome and come out better on the other side. Congrats to you for living through that and becoming a good influence to the youth today! I'm a believer that things happen for a reason.

[@Derek-fq4xo]

Good morning big bro... hope all is well your way 💯💯 much love from my family to your's and God bless 🙏🙏

[@iamdaone2283]

Great content , great video cheers Bruh

[@7-o-7]

If you could, would you do a video on books that helped you free your mind. Reworked your brain etc etc. Was you always a reader or became one. That would be interesting.

[@seanfernandez5735]

Good one bro...and yes Zoom is the Cut... Viva La Vida ✌🏽✊🏽👍🏽

[@lupemounga5442]

Just sat thru a paid ad Toko! Merry Xmas. Ofaz.

[@Sapotin72]

Have you listened to the interview between Lucky and Shooter from Perris part 1 and 2 from Hood Stocks? There’s a few things said that had me thinking. Understanding time and the rules, I realized that people are addicted to the lifestyle and not realizing how much of their thinking puts their livelihood in danger. Comparing certain prisons to UCLA or Pasadena. Putting homies lives under trump charges to justify their mutual combats on a smaller homie, or living a drug addiction without proper self care. Inre the podcast interview of Shooter. A reaction would be nice. I don’t hate or dislike the next man for their ways of misunderstanding, it just baffles me when someone over 40 years of age continues thinking foolish thoughts and live a foolish life. Respectively. 🙏🏽 Thank you for your wise words, Dubs. People have to live through pain to have an opportunity of wisdom. But wisdom comes when one lets go of that ego, prays, surrenders and listens for it. Then comes those epiphanies.

[@Chano13]

I enjoy ur Videos Homies, I worked for Howard in the Laundry B facility, remember Howard the free man in the Laundry? lol

[@madsxaeaii9373]

Another banger 🎉thrucha on my entertainment homeboy G805!!!!

[@BigBoy-kf2dh]

Damn bro dudes come out from doing lots of time and have trouble adapting to their new way of life out here. It's hard for them to function. Especially when it comes to getting and keeping a job. It's something they never had to do. When you talk about cellmate going through some shit and not knowing he could attack or kill you is more stressful going through shit like that in there then anything that you can go through out here.

[@spinrocky7558]

I just asked if you'd make a video about this in a newer video. Here it is! I found it!

[@Iletthemhaveitinthecomments]

Enjoyed your video as always big homie I’m Og from F13

Much love Dubs this is another great video

[@boscodapro4904]

Thats funny, i sent that song 2 this chick i been rappin with last night cuz she always hears me playin it n didnt kno who it was she knows thats my funk... Keep grindin homie 🫡

[@robgaeta6265]

Ok this is the kind of advice and perspective i went to Wes Watson for and we know how that turned out. Most insightful commentary I’ve seen in awhile. The glimpse I got of CDCR treating inmates at KMC and at a few nearby prisons was more than enough to convince me a) I’d be a lousy inmate and b) there is a lot to be said for adjusting mindset when placed in that kind of situation. Wes fooled me - I thought he had that perspective based on his experience (which turned out to be a scam). But I heard some terrific advice today so - gracias 🙏 mijo.

[@ocdeecali4400]

You already know I here holmes RESPECT

[@VictorGreco-hw7qf]

My only regrets about going to the joint a couple tymz are these: 1: not being able to hang with certain friends I’ve known all my life because they’re of different races. 2: Because my mother didn’t get 2 see me daily and it hurt her. 3: Because u become desensitized to the worst shit a man should never hear or see. You’re constantly on your toes in the free world because of how Incarceration re wires your life. It get exhausting even when you’re free.

[@tahoekev2150]

I can't imagine how mentally you could grasp on to them saying you're in jail the rest of your life that's when you really find out who you are and you're right they can put you in that cell but you grab a book and you can go somewhere else you got to be able to take your mind to other places besides that concrete cell

[@davisdunnit-ud5lh]

You said that people doing long time sentences always leave something behind, sounds to me like you left that B.S. behind and got your game tight!!!!!
