Man, I was born in 88! The fact that he was in solitary almost as long as I've been alive is crazy.

She knows how to let her guest speak without interrupting which most people who do interviews don’t seem to understand

Around 33min mark he said the most important thing. “Have hope” no one should ever lose this!

He is strong as nails. Still has his mind and still speaks eloquently.

You can hear the pain in his voice. He’s trying to keep it together

Shout out to everyone who is going to work every day and taking care of themselves and their family the right way. Keep grinding, you're doing amazing!

30+ years is crazy. I just got out and spent 3 years in solitary and when I got out I felt so much anxiety, it’s not a good feeling being around so much when you get used to being alone. I thank God for helping me remain strong mentally and physically, the things that go down in there can make a man break, I saw people lose it after 2 weeks.

I'm behind the walls 25 years, this Dude became a Genius while fighting mental demons. God Bless him, if he doesn't make parole, it's not on him, it's the system. He deserves parole and freedom.

This guy has his life and mind more together than I do and I’m free!😮

@RootRoot-dp2em 1 year ago

This guy is extremely sharp mentally. He is a fighter and he will be free physically. He is already free mentally.

Dispite his troubled past, this guy clearly still has the spark of goodness, love and kindness still alive inside of him. God bless you brother

It’s crazy to think of all the things I accomplished in life and places I travel and lived all while this guy was in solitary. Wild.
