I was headed that direction of prison when i was young. I remember i saw scared straight and Ali got me good. This guy was for real. He had that anger and hate of what was going on in his life. He got to me real good. If your alive Ali thank u and may God Bless your life forever.
Because the prisoner actually cared about their future and wanted to do it where as the prisoners in the modern version pretty much did it just to scare them just because and not because they cared.
I wonder if them 2 guys who walked in the building with Ali was his bodyguards because I know the word was going around the streets about him being released from prison and some people wanted to kill him out in society for hurting someone's relativ and killing they're loved one.
I grew up in the system starting at 14 up to 18. I'm 38 now. I remember these days, being young, watching these tapes played by the staff. Lean on me was the next tape in. The feel of that institutional paint on the cinder block walls. It was weird to watch a movie about a guy who could literally be in the same room or next with me. Like I was already there he just hadn't walked in the room with me yet. Ay the same time I'm being showed this movie about how I wasn't supposed to mess up or end up with him. Just made me feel just a little more afraid. Like I needed that. Luckily things worked out for the most part. Couple good people who cared and showed me caring for others would be my redemption from my inherent self. Hard to do bad things when your constantly helping other. Army medic, Fire dept then eventually a Nurse. Things are going alright but at any moment I'm ready. It never leaves. I just have to keep doing good
The only reason it stuck to those donkeys was because they got to see what a prison can do to a man in graphic detail. Want to scare someone straight? Show them the wounds, not the bible.
What you can hear in his voice is pure anger and hate. He was a very violent man, but extremely passionate. He even says after the reunion that he hasn't got the same resounding voice he once had because he is at peace with his past. He is no longer that man. But wow, did it make an impact or what?
