I confronted a kid in prison and it changed his life forever | Prison Story by Michael Franzese

[@ThaSilentOne420]

This is why i come here Mike your knowledge and wisdom .

[@MarcKlark]

Exactly 💯

[@desertweasel6965]

He's right, they won't tell the family anything about why their loved one is locked down. I have a cousin in prison and I accept all of his calls. Then, he just stops calling and we got really worried that he may have been hurt or worse. We asked and they did tell us he wouldn't be able to accept visitors and that he was in lockdown. They would not tell you why or for how long. It is a stressful time not knowing where your loved ones are or what's happening to them. Yes, he's a criminal and a drug addict, but we love him regardless.

[@hermesalonso2310]

Nice, that means a lot that you have his back regardless 👏👏👏👏

[@DorreenNoyes]

That was amazing the way you talked him he needed needed to be put in his place.

[@bradr2142]

Mike's influence saved that kid. What a good story.

[@Cashcrop54]

It's terrible they make somebody to wait for hours to visit and do not notify them beforehand. Would take much effort. Thanks for the story Michael! 🙏🏻

[@rongrace6324]

Great that you addressed him. so many people that are locked up are always looking to blame someone else . enjoy your videos

[@LulaRoberts]

Well, spoken, Sir.

[@jbworkman2218]

I hope that guy has had success and that his Mom is happy.

[@MarcKlark]

Me too

[@MarleyHenryBinx]

Wonderful video. Great that you help so many people. Well done. !!

[@jeffmartin2250]

Great words of Wisdom Mike!

[@hermesalonso2310]

Hey, this is an awesome video & you got me what you said to that kid i can relate & applaud you for understanding the situation being raised without a man in the house i 🫡 salute you

[@craigrik2699]

Normally not into these types of vids, dunno what I was expecting but sir, you are dead right, awesome story and lesson, cheers from a kiwi vet living life

[@BMG060981]

I like this guy. He is a real G.

[@d1mennis]

That mother had 4 kids. Probably by different men! You want to take the blame for that go right ahead. Not me! I had nothing to do with it. Why don't these women hold their men accountable for their actions? Take them to court and make them pay child support. Society is not to blame for all that is wrong with the world. People need to be held accountable for their own actions.

[@badbadmanly903]

I was a supervisory enforcement officer with Div of Child Support Enforcement in Virginia. Only about half of non custodial parents pay their child support. Every woman in my office who came in to open a case would be told to figure out how to raise their kid without any support from the father, based on the odds of getting paid being 50/50. I worked there for two years. The pay was crap. But everyone who worked there, liberal or conservative, religious or not believed that abortion should be legal and birth control should be taught in schools, and condoms should be given out in schools. Anyone who has seen the tragedy of unwanted kids probably believes the same.

Very nice story especially at Thanksgiving soo kind of you to wake up a young man who looked up to you YOU REALLY MADE A DIFFERENCE I can bet that you did !

[@KlasNorgren]

Fantastic Michel ❤

Franzese is either a bad-good guy or a good-bad guy.

[@dianeamaral8151]

Mike chill out and have a Happy Thanksgiving 😊 from your friend Diane God bless

[@AndrewWerner-p1l]

Don't know if you will read this now but when he started crying did you think less of him? I'm a former special ed kid I cry all the time in private sometimes. Makes me sad that people can't feel SAD and cry without feeling people are gonna think less of them

[@CJ-gp9yh]

Mr Mike for President!

[@thepistolguy859]

Franzese living the good life out by the pool. Crime pays I guess. 😂

[@Williestyle-RobotechxMacross-x]

According to Richard Prior, "crime always pays". (From one of his famous stand up routines, detailing when he worked in a mob run nightclub, allegedly)

[@kenkrausse3624]

The truth ❤

[@johnpower3572]

Good advice 👍

[@RobertIandolo]

Good job Michael! I agree about a dad. My dad was an awesome dude, my best friend, best man at my wedding! I have 2 daughters I would kill for them but I’m not always easy! I think they would both say we have the best dad in the world! I’ll bet my last dollar your kids say the same thing about you! Merry Christmas!

[@tonyray7546]

Michael is a very eloquent speaker. Most inner city kids don’t have fathers. My alternative was better. Isaiah 48:17,18

[@richardeast3328]

And I thought that a boy or man that loves their mother was mostly instinctual.

[@northface484]

Tough Love...!!

[@danadam9964]

That's A Sad Story Mike. I Have The Opposite Problem Yet People That Don't Know Shit From Caviar Think They Know It All. I Hated My Mother Growing Up. It Was Like Every Bad Thing That Ever Happened Was Because Of Her. I Found Out Later That She Was Protecting Me From Others People That Wanted To Hurty Dad By Hurting Me. I Feel So Guilty And I Can't Wait To See Her Again As It's Been Years. She Doesn't Cry Though Unless They Are Tears Of Joy. And Money Definitely No Issue.

[@redcapote4760]

It's "in" line, Mr Franzese. Not "on" line. Online is the internet.

Hey michael Like your youtube videos ... Just like to say i'm glad you changed your ways and found jesus.. As a catholic Just like to say hope one day you find your way back home Someday.. God bless you and your family

[@Jimbowman484]

Uh oh he didn't say black mam, he said black boy. Lol.

[@RamsLakersDodgers]

He’s a racist.

[@bonniegropper]

He probably said black boy because M.F. was old enough to be his father,I don't think that it was meant to be disrespectful.

[@chrislacy4185]

I respect this principle! Im fron Italian father and should have clicked in younger

A black single Woman with kid's, surely not 😂😂😂😂😂, just saying, from Glasgow 😎🇬🇧😊

[@NaciYT]

Wanna say something?

[@DJTaylormade8]

That's racist dude

[@jeffsilverman6104]

A "black boy" of 23 or 24 years old?? You seriously didn't actually say that, did you? My calendar says 2023, not 1860.

[@phillyretrokid]

he meant to say colored kid 🤣. Get outta here with your nonsense Django Jeff

[@enjoyingytbshorts8687]

Listen pal stop the baloney my ethnicity is arabs i been called arabs since i was kid im not offended and i have friends his ethnicity is Chinese and him being called "Chinese" his not offended too so stop that and by the way u not even black

[@desertweasel6965]

He was black and a male so what exactly did he say wrong? I understand most of you idiots live in a bubble and don't realize people from different cultures say things differently than you. What you may consider racist in your sheltered bubble, is actually not racist at all, but just the way a certain person explains things.

[@kenkrausse3624]

Your calendar says victim. Think b4 u speak

[@jeffsilverman6104]

@@desertweasel6965 Did I say anything about racism? Maybe you should learn to read and understand plain English before you go off in the most ignorant ways. I'm sixty four years old pal, and there isn't anything I haven't seen or heard. Did you want to be called "boy" in your 20's? Why don't you run along back to your make-believe world now. But first, on your next trip out in public, I want you to ask every African-American man you see if it's okay that you call him Black Boy. Get back to me on that, Einstein.

[@ROBERTMORAN-mv7eq]

Yeah ,What a great ROLE MODEL your father was to you. Give us a BREAK !

[@duncanhibbs2053]

Here goes master of the bleed'n obvious again, never misses an opportunity to either play God or bless the shit out of us all ,meanwhile his chomping sounds have crept back in .

Hi uh

[@Bill-jc1fy]

And yet you watch his videos and post comments. If hypocracy was a crime you'd be a lifer.

[@duncanhibbs2053]

I don't have to watch a video to leave a comment sweetie, plus someone needs to keep a tab on this asswipe

[@duncanhibbs2053]

I don't watch his videos sweetie. Nothing more can be learned from any of them ,but you go ahead knock yaself out, you may even learn some biblical falsehoods. He's got a bootload of them. Ooh, sorry I mean a trunk load of them .
