Prison Stories Continued; Made Man in Prison | with Michael Franzese 

"people say Michael, we'll listen to you forever, (no you won't)" sounds just like my late Sicilian grandpa.. lol

Having good manners and not being a jerk is just good advice for everyday life.

I’ll take Michael Franzese and Sammy “The Bull” Gravano’s videos over any of the garbage on cable TV

Michael I wish your family happiness, health, prosperity of spirit, and love

Your story of going from being a Made Man to a Remade Man is inspiring and intriguing Michael Franzese. May the almighty lord God continue to guide you, while you guide others away from a life a crime. If Hollywood ever makes a movie based on your life, I would certainly watch it with excitement.

Michael ‘I’ll tell you this..’ Franzese.

The story about Michael arguing to be sent back inside prison and the guard arguing against it literally had me laughing out loud -- sounds like a Monty Python sketch come to life! :)

Here’s to Michael Franzese Racketball Champion of Lompoc 👑

Words to the wise. Stay out of prison. Live life on the straight and narrow. Words from my father. At age 64, I’ve lived a good life free of trouble. Always listen to your Dad. Michael listened to his father of the three most important words of “please”,thank you”,and “excuse me”.

That Walmart story is so relatable for me. It made me cry. I did a few months, nothing compared to years, but being a part of the regular people's world again after doing time is something out of this world..

He's right about the 3 things to say in prison. Good manners ain't the same thing as being soft. Be polite

I’ll be honest, I started tearing up when you knew you were in the clear getting out of prison and so you pulled over and got all of your kids and your wife out of the car and hugged them. That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing your stories, Michael. God bless you and your family.

I sat in the Tarrant County Jail in Tx's waiting room from Friday at 8:00 p.m. to Monday at 6:00 a.m. to turn myself in for a weekend. They botched my paperwork. Because I kept my word they just discharged me from probation early. Always keep your word.

When Michael says to listen to his stories and not become one, you betta listen!

I work in prison and its vital to keep respect and kindness.

"better listen to them than experience them"....best advice ive heard all year,quality as always,bravo mr franzese

“I want to go to Walmart, I want to see people” *Me after being in quarantine for 5 months* - “Same”

Michaels intro is the most fire beat intro on RU-vid I swear u can take it to the bank as Michael says 👌🏼💯

Michael, you have a strong character and personality. Even though we live dark, shallow times, boys and men still put alot of value on being real, being a class act, real gentleman. This is why you're flooded with comments and good wishes and requests. Even though most of us can't relate to you on a mob level, we still share ideals and principles. All the best to you and yours.

The Walmart story made my heart feel warm. Especially with life as it is now, you don't appreciate the simplest of things until you lose them. Cherish everything people.

“Lemme tell ya a couple tree tings”

I've been an officer for over 20 years. Respect for respect goes along way.

It seems you were the only inmate that had no real issues in prison. A testament to your intelligence.

I bet Michael could make five videos from his prison experiences. And I can guarantee you none of them would be boring! Moral of this story: It's better to listen from someone with a bad experience than experience it yourself.

Also, don't forget to write to friends who are locked up. You have no idea how much it means to them.

I would picture you as a handball kind of guy Mike. I really like how you say “it’s better to listen to prison stories than live them”. Being an incarcerated man myself years back, I can say it’s the worst experienced of my life!

Anybody that does not love this guy has a real problem and you might want to take a real hard look at yourself because this guy's a real man with a sense of decency an honor that is a rarity in today's world. Thank you Michael may God bless you and your beautiful family Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas

Just when i thought i was out, I pulled my self back in.

Really enjoy mr franzeses life stories he seems like a good decent fella . .he's proof your never to old to change for the better

I'm addicted to this channel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've just watched prison stories from months ago and I thought "i wish there was more of that" no sooner i click on the channel and I see second part that was just uploaded. Awesome. Love the message. God bless You. Brother in faith from Poland sending his regards!

My Uncle shot and killed his neighbor in a fit of rage after a long simmering feud. He was very lucky to plea down to manslaughter and did 15 years. Other relatives of mine did time for armed robbery and narcotics trafficking. From this i learned to value my freedom above everything. you can always quit a job or walk away from a serious confrontation, and win by living well. By that i mean by having a spotless record, a top notch credit score, and sleeping well every night.

Michael, every time I watch one of your videos I have your theme music stuck in my head for hours. You did a good job picking the folks that wrote that for you!

I know Michael hates The Sopranos but I would love to see him watch it and give a review of it

Best advice given was 'don't ever go" live a clean honest life lets you sleep good at night. God bless Michael, thanks for the stories, very interesting.

Michael, Keep giving the people the prison stories. Those institutions are not the nicest places to be in. I know worked in jail system for 23 years. And also keep them informed about the dangers of receiving gifts from other inmates for the simple reason you got lucky you only got drunk later and was sick. It could of been a lot worse especially when they have a opportunity to possibly put something in your food or drink that can send you on a trip. And unfortunately YOU WON"T BE COMING BACK! Ive seen this happen before . The only real friends a inmates has is family and friends on the outside possibly clergy in the inside. It a dangerous place and your goal is to get out in 1 piece and alive. Mr. Franzese I admire what you doing telling the truth from someone who has been in prisons and jails system.

The hooch story hit close to home. I was working as a CO at a minimum security outfit in Texas years ago. I was assigned to the mess hall, and there was made the dining room officer. One day towards the end of shift as the last of the dinner was served to the inmates I developed a bad head ache, borderline migraine. I asked one of the other guards to watch the dining for me so I could take some aspirin and sit in the store room in the dark for 15 minutes while that kicked in. I was sitting with my eyes closed when I heard some inmates in the back kitchen. The store room had big windows around most of it, and with the lights off the outside of the windows were just like big mirrors. None of the inmates saw me go in so nobody knew I was there. I watched them go over to an oven that was not working at the time. A guy climbed on top, and removed one of the hood filters. The other 3-4 guys started handing him gallon jugs filled with what I learned later was pine apple juice, bits of bread, and rice. The start of a batch of hooch. Once the inmates had cleared out after doing their clean up I showed a couple of the other officers what I saw. They kept daring me to try some but I did not drink at all, even properly made booze, I told them I certainly wasn't going to try that, I appreciated my eye sight too much. One of the other officers asked what I was talking about when I mentioned my eye sight so I explained that during prohibition a lot of guys would want some easy money and try their hand at bootlegging. When they sold their product the customers either dropped dead or went blind. This officer had a fit because he had taken the dare and drank a glass of the hooch. He said the same thing, it was pretty good, tasting like pineapple juice. But he only had one glass.

Michael your videos are amazing! I hang on every word. I can tell that you are being 100% honest and up front. Thank you for sharing your stories with us.

Anyone else wish Mr Mikey would do an hour long video everyday lol

Imagine that feeling of finally getting out of prison after all that and nowadays people are complaining about having to stay at home because of a global pandemic

I enjoy all your content. Keep up the great work

The intrigue of your videos got me here, but you're incredible resilience and inspiring outlook on life have certainly kept me here. Hearing your stories, i find things that can apply to my own life, and through that you have helped me (and i'm sure many others) greatly. This quickly became one of my favorite channels on RU-vid. God bless you sir, and everything you're doing!

"the guy was an interior decorator"

I notice when Michael & Sammy say they “bump” into someone, they say “bunk”. Is that a New York thing?

Mike ur stories are off the map !!!!!! Cheers to u and ur quest on the comeback trail . God bless 👊👊👊👊

You inspire me to want to do better in life. I'm having some struggles and listening to you is therapeutic for me and I'm trying to find the steps I need to turn my life around. Thank you

Michael can u do a video talking about the McDonald’s monopoly scandal that the Colombo family was a part of I think his name was Jerry Colombo. But would love to hear your side of the story or what u know about it.

Yep I'll just listen to your stories instead of going to prison lol

Keep the videos comming. I love watching them. Very interesting. Been following you for years.

You're the man Michael! These stories get me through the day! Salute!

Did you know Richard "The Iceman" Kuklinksi? Some have claimed that he lied about being a hitman. What say you?

Man I’d love to smoke a cigar with this guy.

I love hearing Michael’s stories, well done with respect and honor

Hey Mikey, love the stories, books, and the old school vibes. Never stop

Michael Franzese: helping us all through the pandemic one video at a time!

Hahaha.."One of the best times I ever had" at Walmart!!! People NEVER say that about Walmart.

These stories are gold i swear thank you Mike for the entertainment

I could listen to your stories all day Michael. Captivating and inspirational stuff. Keep them coming 👌🏻

can only imagine a drunk michael franzese ,,pissed as a moose laughing while throwing up at the screw laughing at him throwing up hahah

When Michael says something it becomes fact. “Gee I could listen to this guy while I work/drive for hours” “no you won’t” “yes sir sorry I won’t. I’ll be gone in 13 minutes. God bless”

Thanks Michael. These stories are a blessing. 💚👍👍👍

Thanks for the stories

"Mop ringer style! Ya got bashed tryna turn a dial!" -Ghostface

Omgoodness!!! I love you even more brother because you requested to go to Wal-Mart!!! I love Wal-Mart!! No joke its the only social thing I get to do with my kiddos in this one horse town that or dollar general and my area has no joke like 15 dollar generals. Idiot people running the town wont let a publix or an aldi come to town..oh well thats another beef in living in the hills of Tn.

Could watch these videos all day

Awesome , thanks for sharing these

Jokes on you Michael, I actually CAN listen to you forever. Checkmate.

Michael u have been called for a sit down 4.30am nags head dont be late.

One thing for sure, two things for certain: you’ve always got great content / stories (each with a lesson) and the quality of your production continues to be top notch!

Always a pleasure to listen and then some.

Hey Mr franzese 1 thing you forgot is talking about that you must always always have shoes on while walking around in prison.. Never have on slippers on. Only while in the shower!!

Mob guys had the luxury of going to Federal prisons which are much nicer and way less violent than state prisons. Half of them wouldn't make it in california state prison. To hard-core.

So awesome. I’m so glad I met you in person back in 2011 Michael. Means so much more to me

This was one of my favorites !
