  • Reels are the Best Part

    I really like the host. The reels on other platforms made me take a listen. After 3 episodes I had enough. The subjects are braggarts and over exaggerate facts, but when asked hard questions don’t know or can’t remember. The SM reels tell the best part of the interviews.

How I Survived 15+ Years in Michigan State Prisons | Sonny Von Cleveland
Q: What do you think going to prison made the future worse for you in the sense where it was going to set you up for that second sentence?
100 percent. I was a very introverted kid, but I was kind, I was compassionate. When they sent me to prison, I was raped the first week I was in prison by two guys.
How I Survived 15+ Years in Michigan State Prisons | Sonny Von Cleveland
