  • I remember watching this series when I was young. Everyday I pass Rahway State on my way to work. Just to look at that place and wonder, we are out here free and inside those walls are another world with things going on that we can't imagine. To see how the Lifers group has helped change the lives of those youngsters is a great thing. To see how some of the men in that group have changed their lives is just as great.

  • Ali sounds like DJ Kool. I'm just waiting for him to scream out "Let me clear my throat!"

  • I would assume he wouldn't need glasses, just a monocle... xD

  • He didn't have to spit in the kids face man...C'mon man SMH I wouldn't have threw my $160 timbs either.

  • @Lilreeces10 perhaps the spit in the face kept him from serving 30 years to LIFE!

  • @MegaTight011 What are you talking about?

  • @THENAWP1 Angelo, one of the kids that was in the Scared Straight Program back in the 70s raped and killed a girl in the 80s

    This program here was documented in 1998

  • Ali is the man, and thats real talk.

  • When can we send the CEO's to this program!

  • So Beautiful

    Peace...

  • one eyed guy, You were put on this earth to save others. God knows you!!

  • This program is a disgrace. It has been proven to have caused more harm than good. These disgusting sickos are not therapists.

  • @MrGrevy Care to explain? Have a link I could read?

  • @badblueman Can't post link - but google - scared straight programs ineffective harmful plenty of sites document the ineffective and in fact harmful nature of this idiotic program. Change isn't brought about by screaming and intimidating people. Change happens when a person has something intrinsically important to them linked to the change behavior.

  • @MrGrevy Thanks. I guess it makes sense. I'm not American and I didn't even consider this as some valid form of rehabilitation. It's as primitive an approach, well as all bronze age mentalities. People do things because of their value systems or lack thereof. A person will only do what he wants at a moment in time. Did Hitler have an "evil soul"? I think not; a chain of events from his birth made him what he is. Social engineering with humanist values is the only thing that can bring peace.

  • @badblueman Agree whole heartedly.

  • @badblueman You are a stupid fucking SOCIALIST! 50 YEARS OF SOCIALIST SOCIAL ENGINEERING is TO BLAME, for the total economic breakdown of Western Society; not to mention the exploding teen pregnancies, violence, and poverty that are afflicting Western Society! Go sell that SOCIALIST BULLSHIT SOMEWHERE ELSE! SOCIAL ENGINEERING by ELITIST SOCIALISTS LIKE YOU, is the PROBLEM! NOT the SOLUTION!

  • @THENAWP1 SOCIALISM is great. At least you know what is what and at least you aren't forced to be a member of a socially darwinistic ideology. If Socialism was to blame, then people wouldn't be begging for medical insurance, nor would they be robbing stores to feed their families. Today's beautiful American "fuck everybody, me first" type of capitalism is what makes crime and criminals. When you force people in situations they cannot handle, by definition of the system, you get crime.

  • @badblueman Actually, we have NEVER had that type of Capitalism in America. No one is "begging" for health insurance (Medicare/Medicaid, Anyone that walks into a hospital by law has to be treated) no one is "robbing stores to feed their families". Maybe to by Meth! And all these things you have mentioned have skyrocketed in the last 50 yrs. under Liberal Social Engineering. When are these Socialist policies going to be judged on their merit? How is America any better? It's not.

  • @badblueman Have you ever been dependent as an adult on government assistance? Every time you cash that check, go to the doctors office, use the stamps, or whatever you get reminded that you are being treated like you were still a toddler. It tells you that you haven't grown-up, everything that's happened since you were 3 was a waste. It tells you that you are a waste. It isn't something to desire. Yet it is hard to live without it. You get addicted and the government is the pusher.

  • @davekeays I responded to the guy like that because I could just see the propaganda mumbo jumbo spiralling around in his head. When I said social engineering he started whining about how that's to blame for all the crime, and managed to equate it with socialism. Of course he doesn't understand the behaviourist reality of man's psychology. What you do to your kids, is what they'll become. There is no free will, so there is nothing intrinsically bad about social engineering.

  • @badblueman free will, the ability to achieve and to keep the fruits of your achievements are the only things that will let me recover from the 20/30 years stolen from my life. I was nothing but a disabled worker ant killing time because of a medical condition.

    Was it my fault? No.

    Should I have accepted it and stopped trying to get better? No, but social workers told me to do so to make their job easier.

  • Comment removed

  • @THENAWP1 you are exactly right!! Good post

  • @nassauE Thanks Nassau! Peace!

  • @MrGrevy Man, you are one IDIOTIC, LYING, Moron, who tries to pass as an elitist know-it-all, if you don't think this program has helped people.

  • @THENAWP1 Try reading what I said you presumptuous moron. I said OVERALL (do you now what that means?) they are a failure. Google it. They do more harm than good like all fear based approaches. Sorry the truth seems "elitist" to you. I am right, research proves it, you are an embarrassment. Apology accepted you anti-intellectual degenerate! What an idiot.

  • @MrGrevy Hey, MrGravylover, I never offered you an apology, moron! I'M an anti-intellectual moron? How many books have YOU written, Einstein? You pull numbers out of your ass, knowing you are lying, and expect to not be called on it? Better go back to kindergarten, MrGravylover, or better yet, go on back in your mind to your non-existent socialist utopia, and quit trying to tell the rest of us that you know what's best for everyone else!

  • @THENAWP1 Here's your proof you black, uneducated looting moron! Hope you are able to read: jjie.org/scared-straight-story­-2/8693

  • he still talks like a thug

  • @Venddeta9 No he doesn't don't say that your words are hurtful. It's not right to say that about him have some respect he has turned his life around and is doing well.

    Show some compassion for him because you never walked in his shoes.

  • @CHC4669 no i wasnt disrespecting him i like wat his doing, i referred to the talking as being tough and all of that no mean to disrespect know wat im saying

  • @Venddeta9 So? He's not in trouble for anything no more. Let him do his thing

  • @ZillX I know i know i know hes a good person like i said i like wat he does.

  • O.G. ali

  • Ali had his goons behind him lol...O.G for real

  • 4:00 when I saws him walk through, I was like "oh shit!" lol

  • *not an inmate my bad

  • i think the inmate in the white shirt is italian.

  • @urAmoron44 yea i just seen that he got arrested and got linked to a cold case for his DNA. He spoke up and said that bullshit speach and karma came around

  • wow that kids smile at 2:14 made this thing worth it..

    

  • @liberatedvialove wasnt Jay-z as a kid?

  • weres the booty warrior?

  • all of these confrontational scared straight programs have been studied and found to have no effect, some studies even show a negative effect, where youth who go through them are MORE likely to end up in prison. They see the big tough prisoners and aspire to be just like them. No two hour confrontational approach can help serious youth offenders. PLEASE look at the facts before sending your child to a program like this. THEY ARE NOT ENDORSED BY THE US DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE.

  • I have met people who were inside a Russian prison and they said that life was far worse for them. I saw the marks on their body and mind what the prison system has done to them and what they have done for themselves.

  • very inspiring and life and changing even for those of us who haven't went through it first hand! I hope they keep the program going

  • LOL @ the lifers now having 1 on 1 sessions with the kids. "Listen I'm sorry I called ya a faggot there on stage and spit in your face and all that, but I'm tryna tell ya, you can make somethin of yourself! I believe in you! Faggot"

  • ali seems like a good guy good thing is that he realized he cant be doing all the bullshit he did in the past it wasnt worth it

  • HIS WALK IS GANGSTER

  • lol that mexican was scarier in the old one

  • Comment removed

  • ali is the real one there

  • 2:30 Indian and black.

  • Brother sounded like Richard Pryor at one point ...

  • I wish daddies would take the time to train their boys and girls. We single moms need help. A father in the home can help so much, of course, if he himself is not abusive. The children are suffering and are loosing their minds. What happened to families?? It's horrible:(

  • @DoUWanna007 why and how are you a single mom?

  • @pressbox1492 divorced.all the kids have jobs & r doing great:)

  • @DoUWanna007 Please stop having babies you can't support.

  • @DoUWanna007 I wish women would stop getting pregnant out of wedlock and having 3+ baby daddies. Mothers need to start raising ladies and not just females

  • @persleezy how about a condom?

  • @IRONMAN357 Thats exactly what women AND men should demand be worn. Therefore women wont keep getting knocked up and all they got to show for it is more baby daddies. Its a 2 way street

  • @JaeBeeeeezy Everyone already knows what you are about, bro. Why do you have to talk shit on the internet like your a tough guy. That just shows how weak you actually are.

  • Angelo good bye.. Rotting in prison.

  • @JaeBeeeeezy - i dont no you but.. you dont no what you would do if u got put in that situation cause for a fact you wouldnt put your hands on them

  • The best parts are where you can hear the people in the back.."that's right...break 'em off..." lol

  • Angelo clicked the dislike button.

  • That piece of shit Angelo talking how Ali changed his life and thanks him.

  • i mean..........seriously? is f ck like the only word they know? i'd hate to see their resumes!!!..................oh­! btw why is this jackass at 3:59 actin' like he's proud of all the counts he's been charged with!!! yeah he committed all those crimes but his dumbass got caught for every single thing he did!!!!! i would brag if i didn't get caught!!!!

  • @pointgoatincognito I didnt look at it as him bragging. I think that the point he was trying to make was that if you come to prison you are messin with real criminals - you're not messin with punks

  • @JaeBeeeeezy you say that shit you will be they bitch for real, i have not been to prison but have been to the county a few times and trust me you don't want to think you a tough guy in jail because you will get smashed homie, that shit is real in there trust me

  • "STAND THE FUCK BACK IN LINE" fuck this fuck that ! fuck must be his favorite word ! !

  • Look at the gal front middle when the ex-con walks into the room. Talk about your surprised look.

  • The Beyond Scared Straight is nothing like the original -They should go back to being hard on these kids Beyond Scared Straight is too soft

  • LOL.. GUY W/ EYE SCARED DA' BAJESUS OUT OF ME!!!!

  • I wish Ali could talk to my step son personally.

  • No telling how many lives Ali saved? The new scared straight has got nothin' on the original, but it's still a good program.

  • Pretty fucking sad that young kids are so desperate for a father figure that they have to go to prison to get one.

    Kids need both a mom and dad in their lives.

    Men stand up and be a ffather to your kids be there for them.

  • If you like hip hop then go to YouTube and check out outtacontrol0

  • the lil black nigga at 2:13 sounds and looks like a black verison of justin bieber

  • Seeing how Ali turned his life around made me tear up.

  • I am white and remember watching this when it was on. I was a few yrs older than those kids and that show scared the shit out of everyone who watched it. There was nothing like that on TV and I know for a fact that it changed hundreds, if not thousands of peoples lives. Ali felt like nothing and said he would never be nothing BUT that dude litterally helped alot of people. HE DID DO SOMETHING WITH HIS LIFE. I never forget the dude with his eye out is all everyone said the next day after it aired

  • This guy says motherfucker just about as much as samuel jackson.

  • nice job love these people that try to make a social difference

  • you know what would be funny... if the guys went to the women prison and the girls went to the guys prison

  • If Ali was sentenced to life and from now on... how was he released? I mean he looks like he turned his life around but stilll

  • @natedoggcata sometimes they let you out on good behavior or they make a deal w/someone like if you give someone tips on another crime, good lawyers etc...its numerous of things that couldve happen.

  • @natedoggcata Some lifers get out, always on parole and other things etc.

  • @bisman85 you are about the most clueless person i have ever met...... go suck on obamas cock cause your just a sheep in his herd

  • Looks like Manny Pacquiao got his eye punched out =)

  • I'd like to meet Ali and shake the man's hand. Really inspiring to see a man who has turned his life around for the better.

  • I want to thank you for taking the time to post these.

  • Darn, these convicts need to be actors in various movie roles.

  • Funny... Original scared straight only had 3 black kids... Now there's only AROUND 3 white kids...

  • Comment removed

  • You fucking racist piece of shit. You're always playing the damn race card. You're such a cock sucker.

  • @Willianatior it depends on the area. I've seen episodes with all white, and all black.

  • @Willianatior I live in this area which makes it so funny as I wasn't expecting that, around Trenton and what not is a mainly black area and hispanic area, poor too. Then you have Newark & Camden so ..yeah.

  • @SpraxIAKS Hey I thought that Trenton, NJ was primarily Italian and Irish. I didn't know that it was low income.

  • @laminage Not anymore. North low income, South Spanish as a motherfucker. West: Nice looking with high crime (go figure). East: Mixed.

  • @SpraxIAKS I remember Him as the dude who picked up the kids shows and said "I don't give a fuck, Go home barefooted you faggot."

  • This is a great program, from what I can see. Who better to hear it from than the people doing the time?

  • EVERY KID IN AMERICA SHOULD GO TO JAIL LIKE THIS, THEY'RED BE LESS PEOPLE IN JAIL NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i wish i could get off the drugs im on ive been taking sleeping pills and pain killers for the last 17 years of my life ive never had a job .were im from they dont help out or try to get you a job

    by the way im 40 years old.i wish i got the help like most of these good people

  • So, what does "LIFE" in prison REALLY mean? EVERY "con" (almost) was an "EX -- Con", by the time they filmed this reunion show! ANYway: Isn't it EERIE the way Angelo Speziale - the little boy that read, ironically, from "He was stabbed..." thanks Ali for setting him straight? Ali says, spookily, " U can thank me by treat(ing) your kids better than I did mine- . You THERE for yours; please stay that way! " ANGELO is in prison, now, DOING life for stabbing his neighbor to death in '84.

  • man all the kids today bitch about how thier school principles are so hard on them, wonder what they wold think if those principles were like those cons in scared straight?

  • damm they need to do this in every school! one word powerful!

  • So many kids need to go through this.

  • Ali would scare Joe Pesci.

  • God bless you

  • wow!

  • this man was a miracle worker..

  • He looks exactly like my Uncle Bruce...wow!

  • Yay! He's still kicking and doing well! Thanks God!

  • I almost wanna shake these guys' hands. But they scare the fuk outta me

  • omfg dis lil clip helped mi also im cryin he truely is a rolemodel

  • "54-936 LIFE into mutha'fucking now on..." You can hear it in his voice. Shit for sure scared me straight.

  • God bless 

  • THat little boys smile was awesome.
