A guy I'm glad I never met in prison 

I love how active joe is in the comments

If you don't like this comment i won't give you a death penalty 😈

you are a good ass story teller man cant wait to see more vids

This Robert Gleason guy is basically the real life tattletale strangler from SpongeBob

Instead of death sentence they should play Gucci gang 24/7 in the cell

when you say he killed a guy, becuase he called him a "sucker" for forgiving a 5 dollar debt, you mean, he was being cool with the 5 dollar debt, as if it was no big deal, the guy insulted him, then he killed the guy?

That is a incredible story. Scary.

i went into prison at 18 for 2 years. FUG DAT PLACE! i never looked back and have Been a Aviation Technician for 20+ years!

Am i the only one that would rather have the death penalty instead of life without parole?

was his nickname TheLegend27

Just put him down, wasting my tax dollars keeping him in a cage.

I was locked up in Harris county jail, did laundry for the murderers and as soon as I entered the pod I could feel the evil in the air. Creepy af

Does anyone else love how this guy talks? xD

Broke the legs of a stiffening corpse to make it fit inside trunk... Sounds pretty practical...

A youtuber who never begs for likes or subscribers and makes real ass content. And Joe, what happens if someone kills a prisoner who serves lifetime or deathrow?

One dude I'm glad I never met in prison was someone in prison.

Maximum Security guards hate him, use this one weird trick...

He could kill anyone he wanted, but for the longest time, he couldn't even kill him self #shitsdeep

I just imagine a conversation going: "Yo so let's build a maximum security prison where it's impossible to do anything" "Alright should we install cameras everywhere?" "Yeah man, here check out this sick resolution... 10:16" "Oh sick af, we'll take 200 of them"

It’s ironic how he had no fear of killing others yet he couldn’t muster up gumption to do it to himself.

Gotta love how a psychopathic killer who begs for death doesn't get the death penalty, while around four percent of people who do get the death penalty are completely innocent and usually beg for their life. Gotta love the American justice system.

I'm glad you never met him in prison as well 😮

The people who dislike joes vids are full of salt

For people that dont understand why he wanted death penalty it’s because in death row you can be there over 25 years and you get a much bigger cell and a tv and stuff.

ok youtube i watched it are you happy now??

He wanted death penalty for the free meal lmfao

Glad you changed your life man

That guy is a special kind of evil 😮 I don't blame you for not wanting to be any where near that guy.

What a champ you are, came back from prison, learned your lesson, and got your life back together, and now you're almost at one million subscribers on RU-vid. GREAT!

jesus christ, he could have been your cellmate D:

Damn you, Joe.... i must study.... and i CAN NOT STOP WATCHING YOU!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

His name was Robert Gleason.. His name was Robert Gleason.. His name was.. Robert Gleason..

Videos almost every day hahaha I'm loving it :D

Did you meet any pedophiles? If so, what happened to them in prison?

0:20 shit sounded like you were pissing in my ear

“Psssst come here” “why?” “come closer I wanna measure your neck for a necklace” “are you sure that’s all you want to do Hannibal?” “Uh yeah sure that’s all” “well in that case....OK let’s do this!” Lesson; some guys aren’t that bright.

I don't understand, how someone could be able to do that, morally and physically.

Don't get me wrong but I'd be pissed off too if someone called me a sucker for forgiving 5 dollar debt

There is a documentary about red onion. It is very depressing. It is also awesome look into the worst of the worst. HBO documentary.

mate, this is really good what you're doing, keeping people out of prison. Thanks man

How many Robert Gleasons walk the streets every day? Plenty I'm sure. That's what scares me.

Plot twist: At the end, the lights go out and Joe is gone. Then you hear a deep voice: “Gleason is back.”

That's who prison is for, not drug "offenders"

The prison system is full of people just like or worse than this Gleason dude. No matter how badass or crazy you think you are there will always without a doubt be someone more badass and crazy.

Death was too easy way out for him. He desearved to live with himself and his thoughts of what he did.

why was the ad a clash of clans virus website? why tf would youtube allow that to be one of there ads

You should play Prison Architect on PS4 or PC, it's about designing your own prison. Try to make one that you were in.

These old APS videos are still straight fire!!! F-boms flying, must be filmed pre-adpocalypse

When I was in jail, in the middle of the night, I'd pee on my cellie and then beat him up for wetting the bed.... good times...

I don't personally believe in the Death Penalty. But when a guy like Gleason actually asks for it and threatens to kill more until he get it? Even I would relent on my believe. He may still kill more regardless, but this is pretty much the one circumstance I think we should honor that request...

Anyone else get a vanilla ice vibe off this guy?

This is back from when Joe still had a prison accent.

He killed his first cell mate on my birthday! Yay! 983 likes and 53 comments... Can't get a thumbs up from APS lol.

Let me tell you an absolutely crazy TRUE story about a Finnish serial killer, a monster named Michael Penttilä, also known as the "Serial Strangler". Born in 1965, Penttilä killed his first victim in 1985 in Oulu. The victim - his 48-year-old mother. The police was unable to solve the crime until his next homicide in the summer of 1986. Penttilä (then known as Jukka Lindholm, as he changed his name) lured two 12-year-old girls to his house. Inside the house, Penttilä strangled one of the girls to death, and after a while sexually abused and possibly tried to kill the other girl as well, but the girl was able to escape. Penttilä himself then escaped to a nearby forest where he was caught by the authorities. Later in custody, Penttilä confessed that he had killed the two people and to some other minor offences, and in court, was handed a sentence of 9 years 7 months in prison. However, he appealed the ruling and the local Court of Appeals lowered the sentence to 7 years, because the murder of his mother was considered to be only "aggravated assault" and "involuntary manslaughter" and not murder. He only served about 5 years of his sentence and was released in 1992. Just 1 year later after being released on parole, he strangled a 42-year-old woman to death at his grandmother's house in Kempele. He was arrested, and firmly denied any involvement in the case. However, while in custody, he managed to escape with another man. He was later caught and found guilty for the homicide and sentenced to 9.5 years in prison. However, the ruling was appealed and the Court of Appeals heightened the sentence to 10.5 years. At this point, he had been sentenced for killing 3 people, including a 12-year-old child. He was released on parole in November 2008, but before he was released, the authorities conducted an investigation whether or not he was fit to be released, and the authorities came to the conclusion that "Penttilä was not ready for civilian life". He was nonetheless released. 6 months after he was released, he tried to strangle a woman at his home, but did manage to kill her. Three months later, a similar case happened, when he tried to strangle a woman working as a massager at his own house, but again the woman was able to get away. Just one month later, a third incident happened when Penttilä tried to strangle a cleaner but the cleaner was, again, able to get away. The next year, he was sentenced to 6 years for 3 counts of attempted murder and 3 counts of aggravated assault. Penttilä, however, didn't accept this ruling, so he successfully appealed the ruling and the Court of Appeals lowered the sentence to 4 years 5 months and also ruled that Penttilä would not have to serve the full sentence as the original court ruling stated. Two years later, while in prison, he was sentenced to 4 years 4 months in prison for aggravated rape and some other minor offences which happened in 2009. He stayed in prison until 2015 when he decided to escape - which turned out to be a success. He escaped while being on a supervised trip to the local supermarket (a thing in Finland and yes, a serial killer was allowed to go along). However, Penttilä's escape plan wasn't exactly the most well-thought and smart - because he was caught in less than 24 hours after he escaped. As a result of his little "unauthorised trip to the outside" it was decided that instead of the minimum security prison he was serving time at, he would now have to serve the rest of his sentence in a higher security facility. However, he did not receive any additional time for the escape. Just a year later he was released - for the third time and after killing 3 & trying to kill 3 people and sexually abusing a 12-year-old child & rape and after escaping prison - on parole. Just 6 months after he was released from prison, the police accused him of planning to "commit a crime that seriously endangers a person's life or health" but was allowed to remain on free foot during the investigation. He was arrested in May 2016 but the charges against him were dropped in early July the same year, so he was released. In early May 2018, he was arrested for the murder of a woman at Penttilä's home in Helsinki, and shortly after confessed to the crime. UPDATE: On July 11 2018, a Helsinki court found him guilty of the murder of the woman, who lost her life in the hands of Penttilä on April 13, and received the maximum penalty possible under Finnish law, life imprisonment, his first such sentence to date. The court provided the following details of the murder: "Penttilä had carefully planned the act and showed the utmost consideration during the murder. The act was committed in an especially brutal fashion. The death of the woman took approximately 6-8 minutes, which leads to the conclusion that Penttilä had intentionally prolonged the death." The court also stated that Penttilä's motive was his desire to kill and cause suffering to people.

Bruh they need to make a movie on you

When u go to jail for 24 hours and a creepy hobo keeps looking at you

make a video about the first time you dropped the soap

do a how to on condoms in prison

So much respect, most people get out of prison even crazier, you learned 💪🏻💪🏻❤️❤️

Red Onion sounds like the place they'd send Michael Myers and James Bond type villains.

Holllllly shiiiiit u just scared the Helll out my asssss dude. I don't really know how I landed on your videos but am pretty fucking Scared dude

Props to you man for finding this niche (actually creating it probly) on youtube. Good for you, you're a very creative youtuber

That dude is fucking terrifying.

This guy reminds me of Everlast

I live 15-25 minutes away from red onion. Correction, it takes around 10 minutes to get to the road that leads to the prison, not really that close to the actual prison, some people may think its a lie and i can asure you its not worth lying about, people might say that its isolated and not around people, where i live there is not a lot of people, thats why its here, because theres only 2 small towns that are at a close distance, one of them is so small and has such a small population it literally can be classified as a village, there you go.

The legend has it if you are early Joe will reply, is it true?

Personally I would deny his wish for the death penalty and lock him up in solitary for the rest of his life, never to leave that cell. That kind of person deserves nothing less. One thing I don't get is why the guy Gleason killed through the fence was at a maximum security prison. According to wikipedia he was serving a 34 year sentence for robbery. ROBBERY. It doesn't specify if it was armed robbery or not, but im assuming if they didn't specify then it was unarmed. I'm hoping he had more charges against him because 34 years in a prison like that for robbery is entirely unfair!

Bro do u remember me I was in prison with you Joshua Brizendine

Not related at all, but my uncle once had a beer with jeffrey dahmer.

Red onion sounds like a pizzeria with great salad 🥗 and nice appetizers.

this should be a movie.

When he told us that the guy broke the legs of a stiffening corpse just to get the body to fit in the trunk of a car, I couldn't help but think how practical and intuitive Robert must be...

Red Onion is the same place the D.C. sniper is at.

The reason Robert Gleeson wanted the Electric Chair is because he said he dose not like needles.

NEXT VIDEO: HOW TO MAKE PRISON AIR lol I luh u Joe no homo

Here's the problem I have with opponents of the Death Penalty. How do you deal with someone like Gleason, doing Life Without Parole and they continue to do serious crimes inside? There people out there that just need their breathing privileges revoked.

thats because you dont know pedrinho matador from Brazil.. he killed overdose 20 people while locked up.. he even eaten his father hearth in prison

Hi joe I would like it if you could read my story: so I'm 10 right now my birthday is in 9 days and I want to tell you about my dad, he has been doing drugs for 15 years and I haven't seen him for 7 years he has tried to hurt me and my family and he's gone crazy in the head and he is still in prison for drug possession and attempted murder just I hope you see this.

I think this is scarier than scared straight fam. I'm a grown ass man and this story gave me chills. Maybe it could work with these kids.

Imagine walking in there and Joe just has his face to the camera like 👁👄👁

Agent 47 but he was caught

the electric chair is actually more humane, you die almost instantly. the spasms are caused by the electricity stimulating the muscles in the body etc...

Sounds like the guy was suicidal, kinda....?. he wanted to die but he didn't have the balls to do it himself so he wanted the state to do it for him.

Gleason was the hash slinging slasher undercover

Final Words: In Irish Gaelic, the phrase “Pog mo thoin,” translated as "Kiss my ass." -Robert Gleason

Joe!!!! A QUARTER OF A MILLION SUBS!!! real happy for you bro!!!

I guess you can call him the....the tattletale strangler.....😃

you could have met him at the supermarket.he wasnt born in prison.

why was you in prison joe? you seems to be pretty friendly and polite

Damn, that's something to think about

As soon as you said his name I got chills. That man is absolutely deplorable and you are lucky to not have come in contact with him.

should put him and Richard kuklinski in the same cell and then grab popcorn

Why would they send someone like gleeson to a level 4 in the first place?

*Guard Walks By* *Sees Strangling* Guard-"What are you doing" Gleeson-"Making him a necklace" Guard-"Why is he struggling" Gleeson-"Hes just so excited, im really good at making necklaces" Guard-"seems legit" *Guard Walks Away*

who else googled Robert Gleeson after watching this video? lol

Suicide by Gleason ?

That reminds me, I need to pick up red onions and sheets at Walmart. Thanks joe.

Why do you get so close to the camera? It makes me laugh 😂

I discovered your channel a week ago and can't stop binge-watching. Truly great stories, honest and inspiring. I was lucky enough to avoid prison two times (battery/mayhem) and I've learned my lesson. Keep up the great work you do. Peace!

Basically he’s John wick but the evil version
