Mitch is a true OG ..... he reminds me of the older Grouchy homie on the yard that has a Hart of gold and that is straight forward takes No bull shit ... the sad thing is there ant to many old timers like him any more ....
Good talk. Some of these youngsters out here could learn a thing or five from you about running their channels with integrity and sincerity. You are an honorable man. Thank you Mitch and the wife for these great sit downs...like being across the table from Mitch while he shares his stories.
Priceless information, and advice for your character in order to be a stand up man, period. Always refreshing to hear a Original Gangsters take on how to conduct yourself as a convict or a man of his word. Salute Smiley. But do remember youngsters a lot of the things and ways of doing certain things Smiley talks about was decades ago. I say that to say choose the way you conduct yourself and the things you say very thoughtfully if your going to prison in the cdc in this day n age because a lot of these things said can and will get you killed if not executed correctly or executed without a action to go along with it.
I see the paint on your fingers Mitch, I have been in the Sign Business for 30 years, the first 15 I painted most of them and always had paint on my hands, that brings back memories, I miss painting, I was not painting fine art like you, but I did paint bikes with an airbrush, skulls lettering, flames, fun stuff. Keep it going Mitch!
I agree 💯 with you brother! And like the old saying goes....there’s a hell of a difference between a convict and an inmate! Seems like most of these people these days are on straight up inmate status. Can’t keep their word, no loyalty or respect! And men from our generation could fight and were just solid! Your channel is hopefully gonna save a youngster who will possibly be prison bound....how to survive. Nice of you to teach all of the most important lessons in life cause many of them may have been raised without a man around to school the down on this stuff!🙏🏻
Hey Mitch just stoppin by to show my support, that St Patrick peice was awesome bro keep doin what u do, and another video with Death would be awesome! Keep rockin
Way to go Mitch!!!! Keep up the good work man. Glad i got you in touch with Death "23&1". I couldn't imagine right now, not being able to watch your videos and hear your stories. Stay positive brotha!
Another good video, thanks Mitch. Really love the Saint Patrick drawing! I want that one for sure! You mentioned a hunger strike in one of the videos, would love to hear that story!
EPIC title, Mr Smiley! Love hearing you speak! You’re mesmerizing! Hope ya come up to Seattle/Tacoma area some time. Ya got a place to stay if ya ever do!
Thank smile this man is telling u guys the truth I hung around with old school bikers they were tuf and some of the best people I ever met they had a hand in raising me it takes a village to raise a MAN
Just got your package today man!! So stoked on the prints and the shirt!! I gave one of my buddies your card and a sticker. Love and respect from Indiana 🙌🏼
You are an *extremely talented* artist! I used to draw a lot when I was younger (though I was not nearly as skilled as yourself, but I was okay, though)...anyhow, seeing your artwork makes me want to get back into black & white pencil and colored pencil artwork. I enjoy your videos, and they make me want to always stay on the "straight and narrow" and be the best man I can be. Much respect from Chicago, Illinois
Heyvmitch have you thought about imterviewing your wife, if she rode with you through your term it might help others who are riding with their people. I think it would be interesting to hear
I know some people don't like making long videos. I appreciate the length of your videos tho. When you tell stories. I get so locked in. I can't quit watching. I know after 38 years in prison. Ain't no reason to make up stories. People that haven't been there An done that make up stories. Real recognize Real.. Much love Brother.
Great stream again Mitch..you're artwork would make great tattoos..my sister lives in Thailand she makes her money from designing tattoos..paper in it too. I love how you keep it real..most these other prison channels are a joke, embarrassing really..done 17 behind the door myself as a con & 4 yr 10 month as a YOI..though jail different in England to the States..keep prospering bud 💪🏻
Nobody can touch your story telling abilities brother, the best and keep’m coming. The one thumbs down is from a dude who used to hang out at the program office all the time.
So cool how your videos make my day, always happy to see one come up. Mitch Smiley, "spreadin the love"! "Hi, how ya doin?" LOL, laughed out loud at that.
Your art is awsum Mitch, very cool.. Thanks for the stories Mitch, really enjoy your channel.. prison rules n respect isnt much differant here in oz... respect makes the stay safer and easier..
That is spot on Mitch . Inmate tried to tell me how to live at McNeil Island .He was at my door with a couple of his boys . I grabbed him into my cell . The door automatically locked when you shut it . Went to work on the guy . His Boys were yelling through the door to stop . He's had enough they said . He begged me to stop . I told him to hit the red button and tell the COs at the Control Desk that he needed to get out for a shower . The Shot Caller for the Block sent me a Kite later that night when we got locked down and said we are cool . I replied . If it goes down on the Yard count me in . Other than that I am staying in my lane and you and your guys stay in your lane and we will get along .
Come here from 23&1. You seem like a pretty cool cat. Haven’t been down as long, but been there. You’re giving some good solid advise. Probably some of the best. You can’t be someone you’re not and it’s best to stay in your lane. I don’t understand why some folk can’t get that. But anyway, cool art brother. I’m going to look into that a little more and try to support a positive thing you have going. Best of luck to you and your wife, hope it supports y’all for many years to come.
Mitch, lakeside here... love the Viking picture, can you put that on a shirt or is it only a picture?. I’m really proud of you man , I did no where the amount of time you did but11 years was enuf LOL good to see good people doing good LOVE YOUR LIFE HOMEBOY
I only have it as a picture for now, it cost us a lot of money to get the shirts printed so mabey soon. Hope all is well in lakeside have a great weekend
Great video man! Always looking fourward to your thing man! Was it always manditory 4 you when it comes to riot? Ore could you just tell people to ”fuck of”? Regards from sweden
Whats up mr mitch! Im chris from conroe, tx. I really enjoy your channel. I have a son whos going through the shit. Hes 19, already did 2 yrs in beaumont. I hope he gets better. He got almost full sleeves, stomach, legs. In his 2 yr stint. I hate that he did that so quiick. Peace
HARD INTENTIONS you to brother , what if I wanted that Aztec as a whole back piece what would something like that run ? I’d like to get tattooed by you love the old style tattoo use to live the old school Sailor Jerry stuff
I appreciate you as a real man Mitch you know my dad did 58 to 68 in Huntsville he escaped four times before they broke his teeth out with axe handles why he was tied to a Tree. He didn't try to run again he rob 16 banks in Texas at 17 years old he only did 10 years on 110 years sentence if not I'll 4 that I would never be and I agree 123 that level 4 politics are the only way to go.if it ain't worth killing over it ain't worth arguing over it ain't worth bringing up. Love of your life man thanks for your videos I'll get back at ya shortly
Just from the couple of drawings, u showed in the video looked really nice. Great tattoo material.so u have 1 of each drawing? And u selling the original ones right.
Much respect man. So refreshing to see a solid white dude whos done his time and just trying to live his life now and do the positive thing. Dude just strikes me as a solid cat, a man whos matured and grown, can only imagine him when he was a wild young man. Keep up the good work.
