00:00:00Previously on Love After Lockup...
00:00:02When I met Bradley, he was my weed dealer.
00:00:04But since then, I've been high on love.
00:00:07Drop it.
00:00:08It's okay.
00:00:09Got your makeup on my face. I love it.
00:00:11I think I want to save myself for when we get married.
00:00:13I can't do that.
00:00:14I've been in a relationship now with Michael
00:00:16a little over a year.
00:00:17I'm currently locked up for possession of methamphetamine.
00:00:21I told him he's a racist punk.
00:00:22There you go. All context.
00:00:24This is your first time with me sober,
00:00:26so this is gonna be cool.
00:00:27Sober for both of us.
00:00:28I was really worried about being in a monogamous relationship
00:00:31when I get out.
00:00:33Julius is calling.
00:00:34I can't believe we're about to be out.
00:00:36I'm ready to come home.
00:00:37We've been dating now for about a year on and off.
00:00:40Like, damn, this mother----- is sexy.
00:00:43Your mom's coming to you, right?
00:00:45Uh-huh.
00:00:46Do you plan on me meeting your mom?
00:00:47Just take it one step at a time, baby.
00:00:49All right. Love you.
00:00:50All right, babe.
00:00:53Hi, bae.
00:00:54I can't wait to see you and just hug you and kiss you.
00:00:58I'm definitely gonna stay positive.
00:01:00I've been waiting for Julius for such a long time,
00:01:02and now it's time for my man to come home.
00:01:06I'm raising two boys by myself.
00:01:08The boys need more of a father figure in their life,
00:01:10and my boyfriend, JK, really wants to be a dad.
00:01:13He's gonna be paroled into his mom's house.
00:01:15What is he gonna be doing?
00:01:16Alex ain't too far from there.
00:01:17Me and Brooke have been dating on and off
00:01:19for the last three years.
00:01:21Alex, I met, like, a year and a half ago.
00:01:23Me and Brooke weren't together.
00:01:24Are you worried that Alex is gonna show up
00:01:26to the release?
00:01:27If she shows up, I'm putting my hands on her.
00:01:30Me and Dimodric got together when I was in high school,
00:01:33and he was my first real boyfriend.
00:01:35Have you talked to baby mama?
00:01:37No. Joella is still in love with Dimodric.
00:01:40Dimodric's cheated on me with her twice.
00:01:42When was the last time you talked to D?
00:01:44Just last night.
00:01:45I'm not the only one.
00:01:46Come on, man. Let's let this boy out of here.
00:01:47Come on.
00:01:49Where? Where?
00:01:52I don't understand.
00:01:57Come on. Is this him?
00:01:58Oh! Oh!
00:02:01That's a drop-off.
00:02:02Come on, man. Let's let this boy out of here.
00:02:03Come on.

00:02:39You are outside to pick up your family member?
00:02:41Yes, I'm outside.

00:02:43Uh-huh.
00:02:44All right.
00:02:45Oh, there's the car we was waiting on.
00:02:47I'm getting outside.
00:02:48What? Are you trying to see if I'm outside?
00:02:50Well, then, stay there. You can't see me?
00:02:53Ah!

00:03:19It's okay.
00:03:21It's okay.
00:03:22It's okay.
00:03:23It's okay.
00:03:24It's okay.
00:03:25It's okay.
00:03:26It's okay.
00:03:27It's okay.
00:03:28It's okay.
00:03:29Oh, my God.
00:03:30What's that?
00:03:31Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
00:03:34Ooh, she popped pineapples.
00:03:36Pineapples.
00:03:37Pineapples.
00:03:38Pineapples.
00:03:39You know, grab that booty.
00:03:41Lift me up.
00:03:42I'm free.
00:03:45It's a great feeling to be able to kiss her again, touch her.
00:03:48Feels great to be free.
00:03:49Mm-hmm.
00:03:50Ooh.
00:03:51It's real.
00:03:52Mm.
00:03:53I'm surprised to see Kiana step down here,
00:03:55but I'm gonna try to cop a couple feels.
00:03:58It's been two years since I've been able to touch and kiss on her.
00:04:01One more time.
00:04:02I'm probably not gonna let you go.
00:04:03Not today for sure.
00:04:05Where's Deepaw?
00:04:06He ain't looking.
00:04:08Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
00:04:14Oh, right here.
00:04:15Oh, oh, oh.
00:04:16Ah, ah.
00:04:17Ah, ah.
00:04:18I'm never coming back to this place.
00:04:22I hope I never see Bob Wine, none of that again.
00:04:25No, we're not.
00:04:26Yeah, no, most definitely.
00:04:27There we go.
00:04:28All right.
00:04:29Most definitely.
00:04:32Welcome home, my boy.
00:04:33What's up?
00:04:34I'm so glad you're out there playing.
00:04:36Man, appreciate you.
00:04:37We got to get in there.
00:04:38We got to get in there.
00:04:39So glad you're out there playing.
00:04:40Man, appreciate you.
00:04:41We got to get going.
00:04:42Never, ever get back in there.
00:04:43I got about five hours.
00:04:45Got to be there about 145.
00:04:46OK.
00:04:47I have to go straight to the halfway house.
00:04:49They'll be putting a leg monitor on me.
00:04:51And from there, I can try to see if I can get a little time to do anything else.
00:04:55Look at that.
00:04:56Look at that.
00:04:57If I'm late, they'll try to revoke me and say that I'm escaping.
00:05:01I'm a little bit nervous to make it on time, but I think we got it.
00:05:05You good?
00:05:06You feel better?
00:05:07Great.
00:05:08I'm relaxed.
00:05:09Yeah.
00:05:10I'm out of there.
00:05:11How much time you supposed to be out on probation or whatever?
00:05:13I got three years on probation, and it don't start until August 8th or August 9th, one of the two.
00:05:18Wow.
00:05:19I can't remember.
00:05:20Why?
00:05:21Why wait so long to start?
00:05:22Because that's when I get off of my monitor.
00:05:23Yeah.
00:05:24Because that'd be the end date of my sentence.
00:05:26Oh, OK.
00:05:27OK.
00:05:28I never thought I was going to prison, and I didn't see it in my future at all.
00:05:32In college, my major was physical therapy.
00:05:35I wanted to be a physical therapist.
00:05:38I started dealing with some of the wrong people, having some of the wrong company,
00:05:41people who the police eyes were already on.
00:05:44I got shot in the shoulder.
00:05:46From that moment forward, I always wanted to keep a gun.
00:05:50For a while, maybe like three or four months straight, I got pulled over like at least twice a week.
00:05:55I was convicted of having a firearm while under a felony indictment, and I served two years in prison.
00:06:02I want to make sure that your head's all right.
00:06:05I want to make sure that everything goes well with you and Kiana.
00:06:08Because y'all both deserve to be happy in a good relationship where you don't have to worry about nonsense.
00:06:14That's what y'all should be.
00:06:16And the past is the past.
00:06:18Yeah.
00:06:19You grow, you learn from it.
00:06:20The present and the future is all I have.
00:06:22That's it.
00:06:23You know what I mean?
00:06:24I can plan for the future and live the present.
00:06:25That's it.
00:06:26I met Kiana when I was 16.
00:06:28She was 12.
00:06:30Kiana liked me.
00:06:31I told Kiana, when you get older, you know what I mean, talk to me.
00:06:34We'll see where we at.
00:06:36Once I got to college, she would check on me, make sure I had what I needed.
00:06:40So when I came back home from college, we finally decided we would talk and actually make something out of it.
00:06:46I don't want no doubts about nothing.
00:06:48I don't want no more slips and nothing like that, man, because that last time was a hurtful one.
00:06:53I'm planning on proposing to Kiana.
00:06:55I've made a promise to her before.
00:06:57Definitely f*** that up.
00:06:59But I will be faithful this time.
00:07:02I'm trying to do the best I can to show her that this is what I want.
00:07:10Demodrick is not your average felon.
00:07:12He's went to college.
00:07:13He's had multiple jobs.
00:07:15And I see me and Demodrick, you know, just living the dream, being happy, being in a house with our kids.
00:07:23We're going to be great.
00:07:26All right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
00:07:28See what y'all doing?
00:07:31Do I need to separate y'all?
00:07:33We've been separated too long.
00:07:35I'm just going to have to beat you up when I get there.
00:07:37Oh, my God.
00:07:47What do I need in here?
00:07:51Oh, f***.
00:07:55No, there's no turning back.
00:07:57Because it's been too long.
00:07:59I'm coming home.
00:08:01Today's a big day.
00:08:03Now we know we're not leaving each other.
00:08:05And we get to be with each other.
00:08:07So, yeah, that's exciting.
00:08:10The only thing that I'm worried about is the P.O.
00:08:12Maybe, like, putting him in on the lockdown.
00:08:15I'm torn because, yeah, I want to, like, hang out with him and be with him.
00:08:19But, yeah, I want to follow the rules and not get him in trouble.
00:08:22I know with Michael's release,
00:08:24he's going to have a lot of rules and restrictions placed on him.
00:08:27He's been in and out of prison since he was 24.
00:08:31Most people would be scared to go back to prison.
00:08:33He's not scared.
00:08:34You know, I'm not going to defend him anymore.
00:08:36I'm done defending him.
00:08:38No more defending him.
00:08:39Like, he's got to do that.
00:08:41That's the thing. At this point, he's got to build the relationships,
00:08:43and he's got to earn the trust of everybody.
00:08:45I'm ready to kind of help him jump through those hoops and challenges
00:08:49because I love the guy.
00:08:51I'm a little bit nervous, the whole, like, intimacy thing.
00:08:54Because, you know, it's different when you're sober.
00:08:56The feelings there are different now than they were.
00:09:00So maybe it'll be better, even.
00:09:03Michael is my soulmate because we get each other.
00:09:06I mean, we understand each other.
00:09:08Me and Michael have used together in the past, yes.
00:09:11But this past year, I just feel like we connected on all levels.
00:09:15We're both sober, and, like, we've talked about our plans for the future.
00:09:21So, yeah, it's really exciting.
00:09:23Oh, yeah, we got to go.
00:09:26I'm absolutely head over heels in love with Joey.
00:09:29I know our chemistry is going to be there.
00:09:31We left off pretty hot and heavy, and, like, nothing's really died away.
00:09:35I'm really excited, a little bit nervous.
00:09:39We'll see what happens.
00:09:42We're going to have some conversations, I'm sure,
00:09:44that aren't going to be very comfortable.
00:09:47You know, my thing is the monogamy thing.
00:09:50That's my big thing.
00:09:52So, I don't know, that might be an issue with us.
00:09:54I don't know.
00:09:55We haven't really talked about stuff like that because we haven't had the time.
00:09:58When Michael gets out of prison, he's coming home as my boyfriend.
00:10:02Boyfriend to me means, you know, we're together, we're monogamous.
00:10:05I don't know what a boyfriend means to him.
00:10:08At this point, I can't explain what the hold that he has on me.
00:10:11And it's not the hold that he has on me, but I don't think about the bad stuff.
00:10:15I have hope that Michael's that person.
00:10:17I hope that he's my forever.
00:10:19I believe he is.
00:10:21I have so many plans for our future.
00:10:23And I don't want to think if he uses, what am I going to do?
00:10:26You know, am I going to use with him?
00:10:28Am I going to cut bait and run?
00:10:32He is the love of my life.
00:10:34I just can't wait to spend time with him.
00:10:37Waiting to see him come down this thing,
00:10:39and then I don't ever have to wait out here again.
00:10:43Yeah, I'm excited.
00:10:44It's the first thing I'm going to do when I see him,
00:10:46is just give him a big, fat, wet, sloppy kiss.
00:10:58I've been here. It's been about 30 minutes.
00:11:00I feel like he could just be any minute.
00:11:02He could be coming out any minute.
00:11:04I feel like he could just be any minute.
00:11:06He could be coming out.
00:11:08Is that him?
00:11:14What funky chickens he doing?
00:11:16Go, let's go, let's go.
00:11:18Let me see my man.
00:11:20Is that him?
00:11:25We got places to be.
00:11:27I'm definitely looking forward to getting...
00:11:30Are we going to bed now?
00:11:32Yeah.
00:11:33Her body has definitely changed.
00:11:36We're supposed to see each other a couple hours tonight.
00:11:39Is he out, though?
00:11:40I don't even know if he's out yet.
00:11:42Oh, my goodness, is that him?
00:11:44Is that him?
00:11:46Oh, my God.
00:11:47I'm going to tell you right now,
00:11:48mama getting the first hug.
00:11:49You better run faster than I do.
00:11:51I've been waiting on this for three years.
00:11:54This is him.
00:12:00Honey, I'm home.
00:12:02This May, Mama June's back.
00:12:04Our dysfunctionality works for our family.
00:12:06What?
00:12:07A long arm.
00:12:08With big money.
00:12:09Where is my check?
00:12:10The check is right here.
00:12:12This isn't a game.
00:12:13Big drama.
00:12:14We're getting a f***ing divorce.
00:12:16What?
00:12:17Whoa!
00:12:18And big trouble.
00:12:19The judge really consented you to prison.
00:12:22It's going to be a hot mess summer.
00:12:25The all-new season of Mama June, coming this May to...
00:12:28I can't take your mask off when you're lying next to me.
00:12:35Baby!
00:12:44I'm thinking, like, the hotel would probably hate me for this.
00:12:48This stuff everywhere.
00:12:49Hey, boo.
00:12:50How y'all doing?
00:12:52Are you excited?
00:12:53I'm excited!
00:12:55Julius comes home today.
00:12:58So what's the plans in here?
00:12:59Are we getting balloons, decorations?
00:13:01We're not doing this.
00:13:03No baby stuff.
00:13:04We want a ring first before the baby.
00:13:06Mama Cherie said I have to get the ring first.
00:13:09Yeah, nowhere baby.
00:13:10Just before baby stuff.
00:13:11Okay.
00:13:12Today is the day Julius gets out of prison.
00:13:16We're supposed to see each other for the first time.
00:13:18I know I wasn't, like, too nervous before, but as it's getting there,
00:13:22I'm, like, getting, like, really, I don't know, like, anxious.
00:13:26Like, anxiety attack anxious.
00:13:28Do you have handcuffs by chance?
00:13:30Yeah.
00:13:31Do you?
00:13:32I need to see.
00:13:33Is he going to show me love?
00:13:35Is he going to give me kisses?
00:13:36Is he going to hug me?
00:13:37Is he going to want to be distant and be like, one step at a time?
00:13:41Is he going to find me attractive?
00:13:43I don't know.
00:13:44I just got to feel his vibe.
00:13:46I can't really feel his vibe until I see him.
00:13:49Ooh, those are the real ones, too, aren't they?
00:13:52Don't lose the key.
00:13:53He might not want to play with those.
00:13:55I'm going to tell him since he got out he can arrest me.
00:13:59Are you, like, throwing it back tonight or?
00:14:02Tonight and tomorrow.
00:14:03Tomorrow is going to be an all-day throwing back thing.
00:14:05It's your birthday.
00:14:06And then, yeah, it's my birthday.
00:14:07I'm getting pregnant tomorrow.
00:14:08So what about now the ring first?
00:14:10Yeah, we need this to be for real first, then the ring, then the baby.
00:14:14And then all that.
00:14:15Yeah, we got to do this the right way.
00:14:17Right.
00:14:18When is he getting out?
00:14:19I don't know what time he gets out.
00:14:21So you just have to wait for, like, the call?
00:14:23Yeah.
00:14:24How far do you have to go to get him?
00:14:25I don't know.
00:14:26His mom's picking him up.
00:14:27Oh, she's going to pick him up?
00:14:28Yeah, he won't let me pick him up.
00:14:30Oh, wow.
00:14:31That's out of control.
00:14:32That's so sick.
00:14:33I feel like he's going to get out and hurt our feelings.
00:14:35And typical man that's in jail, you know, like,
00:14:38I don't feel like it's going to be anything.
00:14:40And I hate to say that because I've been in that situation before.
00:14:43And he don't want me to meet his family.
00:14:45He said one step at a time.
00:14:47I didn't like him since day one.
00:14:49They were supposed to get matching tattoos.
00:14:51And then she got her tattoo.
00:14:53And then the next day he was supposed to get his tattoo.
00:14:55He never got his tattoo.
00:14:56I got this on my birthday last year.
00:14:58Did he ever get it?
00:15:00He didn't.
00:15:01When she got that tattoo, like, that's something that's permanent.
00:15:04That's a big step to tattoo someone's name that really you haven't even met in person.
00:15:10I'm just a little nervous for you.
00:15:12He's already giving red flags.
00:15:14Literally.
00:15:15Literally.
00:15:17Red flag.
00:15:19Where did that come from?
00:15:25I'm excited to see my man.
00:15:27I'm ready to hug my man and kiss my man.
00:15:30I have about one hour.
00:15:32This is literally what I've been waiting for for years now.
00:15:36So this is...
00:15:39It feels like the first day of school.
00:15:41Just waiting, anticipating how the day is going to go.
00:15:44I could barely sleep last night.
00:15:48I can't wait to just get him out here.
00:15:50See him walk out those doors.
00:15:52I'm just going to run to him.
00:15:54Just really being with him in the physical.
00:15:56Like, there's no more, like, all right, inmates, time to say your goodbyes.
00:16:01Like, there's no goodbye.
00:16:02This is just it.
00:16:03Like, you're free.
00:16:04You're with me.
00:16:05Like, and it's just, it's surreal, honestly.
00:16:09Oh, my God.
00:16:10I feel like I'm going for a visit.
00:16:12I can't cry.
00:16:13I'm going to cry my last.
00:16:16I want to fix my hair.
00:16:18I'm most excited about really just having a man in the house.
00:16:22Someone to just, I get to love on and nurture.
00:16:25Someone to talk to.
00:16:29I'm going to get some lip gloss.
00:16:30Talk about my long day at work or, you know, talk about future plans with.
00:16:35You know, going on dates and stuff.
00:16:37That's what I'm just most excited about.
00:16:41Okay, I'm here.
00:16:43Last time coming up the road to this prison.
00:16:46I am so excited.
00:16:48I'm outside just waiting on my man to come outside.
00:16:52And I'm going to run right to him and slob him down and give him a big old hug.
00:16:58And I'm just so shook right now.
00:17:02What's the plans for tonight?
00:17:03We're supposed to see each other a couple hours tonight.
00:17:06Is he out, though?
00:17:08I don't even know if he's out yet.
00:17:10So no call, nothing?
00:17:12Nothing, not yet.
00:17:13When Julius gets out, I'm really looking forward to going fishing and going to the creek.
00:17:18And going camping and making love in the woods.
00:17:21I already know that's going to be amazing.
00:17:23He's tall, he's got big feet.
00:17:25He's going to be well hung, I already know.
00:17:27Better be.
00:17:29Okay, we're going to go look at the balloons.
00:17:35Who is this?
00:17:36Who is this?
00:17:39Oh, hi, Tyler.
00:17:40I was scared at first.
00:17:41Nice to meet you as well.
00:17:42I didn't know you was coming today.
00:17:44You didn't?
00:17:45Uh-uh.
00:17:47Surprise.
00:17:50I'm just shocked.
00:17:51Like, I'm trying not to have an attitude because it's supposed to just be our time.
00:17:55I'm excited.
00:17:56Me too.
00:17:58Tyler is Julius's big sister, Lanae's baby's father.
00:18:02I just know of Tyler, but I've never actually met him.
00:18:05I don't know why he's taking so long.
00:18:08Low-key, I am upset that Tyler's here at the release because I just don't like stuff that seems sneaky.
00:18:14That's something you could have just simply been like,
00:18:16Hey babe, Tyler's going to come, you know, just to see me or whatever the case may be.
00:18:20But it's whatever.
00:18:25Hi, how are you?
00:18:26This is my brother, George.
00:18:27Oh, it's nice to meet you.
00:18:28Nice to meet you.
00:18:29I've known Julius probably over 15 years.
00:18:32The last time I seen him was right before he went to prison.
00:18:36Crazy.
00:18:39I met Julius when he was like 11, 12 years old.
00:18:42All I can think about is our last vacation where we was just turnt up.
00:18:47I feel like I see some dreads moving or something.
00:18:50Is that him?
00:18:51Oh, look.
00:18:52See, they're opening the gate.
00:18:55Oh my goodness, is that him?
00:18:58Is it him?
00:18:59They gotta be.
00:19:00Hell no, he way more excited than that.
00:19:02He's over it.
00:19:03Oh my God.
00:19:09Yes, ma'am.
00:19:10I'm sorry, what?
00:19:11This is just a curve ball that I was not expecting.
00:19:17This is the tattoo that I got done for JK.
00:19:19It says, love always, JK.
00:19:22It's actually his handwriting and his signature off of a Valentine's Day card.
00:19:31Right now, I'm headed to the hotel to meet Kathy, JK's mom.
00:19:34And we're gonna arrive together in the morning to go pick him up.
00:19:41I cannot believe this day is finally here.
00:19:44Like, I'm so excited.
00:19:46I'm ready.
00:19:47I'm over the waiting.
00:19:50Hello.
00:19:51How are you?
00:19:52Tired.
00:19:54They wouldn't let me check in because the room's not in my name.
00:19:57Okay.
00:19:58Okay.
00:20:00I have not spent a lot of time with JK's mom in the past.
00:20:04Is there gonna be a double bed?
00:20:06No.
00:20:07It's a single bed?
00:20:08Yes.
00:20:09Looks like we're cuddling tonight.
00:20:10We're cuddling tonight, sister.
00:20:13I'm kind of nervous about having to sleep with his mother.
00:20:18I've never even slept with him.
00:20:20I'll be the big spoon.
00:20:21You'll be the big spoon?
00:20:22Yeah.
00:20:24It's kind of weird, but I guess I can dig it.
00:20:27Home sweet home.
00:20:28Home sweet home.
00:20:30Well, it's a big bed.
00:20:32Thank God for that.
00:20:33Thank God for that.
00:20:35I'm just so excited he's coming home.
00:20:37Yeah, me too.
00:20:39I think about James so much, and I know he has so much potential.
00:20:44He doesn't always make the right choices, so I'm praying I don't want him to mess up again.
00:20:49I want him to stay out of prison, stay out of jail.
00:20:52So let me ask you this.
00:20:54Do you want to marry JK?
00:20:56I do.
00:20:59He makes me want to be a better person.
00:21:03He makes me want to be a better mom.
00:21:05He's just always rooting for me, I guess you could say.
00:21:09I've always wanted something like that, that I've never gotten from the others.
00:21:15I don't really have a time frame on when I expect JK to propose to me,
00:21:21but we have discussed things that we would like.
00:21:25Obviously have more babies, and of course get married.
00:21:30I just don't think he needs to rush into anything right now.
00:21:34He needs to breathe free air, and not have somebody telling him when to eat,
00:21:40when to go to the bathroom, when to go to bed, when to go exercise.
00:21:43Maybe that's what he needs.
00:21:45No, he don't need that.
00:21:46He needs his freedom a little bit.
00:21:48He needs to be a big boy.
00:21:49I just don't want him to be tied down too quickly.
00:21:56Since we're talking about the whole marriage thing, I have a couple of questions.
00:22:00What's the situation with JK?
00:22:02Was he a whore in the past? Is he still a whore?
00:22:07JK has never had a problem having a girlfriend.
00:22:11I will say that.
00:22:12For a man that's been locked up, he's had more girlfriends
00:22:15than I think he ever had when he was out and free.
00:22:18JK has always been kind of a ladies' man.
00:22:21I can tell a story one time when he handed me the phone,
00:22:24and he said, here, talk to my girlfriend.
00:22:26But he didn't tell me which one it was.
00:22:28So I picked one, and I picked the wrong one.
00:22:30Got him in trouble.
00:22:31What about this Alex?
00:22:33Alex was very good to JK.
00:22:36She went to see him every weekend.
00:22:38She sent him money.
00:22:39She was there for him.
00:22:40I mean, she's kind of part of the family, I guess.
00:22:47She still talks to me.
00:22:48She doesn't come around a whole lot,
00:22:50but she's always asking me, how's JK doing?
00:22:53You know, I tell the truth.
00:22:54I mean, yeah, he's got a girlfriend, and he's doing great.
00:22:58Interesting.
00:22:59I'm going to go get my nightgown on.
00:23:01I mean, yeah, it bothers me.
00:23:04What if he gets out and goes back to the same thing?
00:23:09How much am I going to have to worry about the other females?
00:23:12My nerves are just shot.
00:23:14I can't sleep.
00:23:16I'm super, super excited.
00:23:19I can't wait to just be able to hug him and kiss him.
00:23:22And currently, laying next to his mother.
00:23:29She's over there trying to kiss him.
00:23:31Girl, if you don't go to sleep, put that phone down.
00:23:45Kobe, stop stressing out.
00:23:50Seal these hoes.
00:24:00Boom.
00:24:01I've never been a shy girl.
00:24:02That's just not me.
00:24:04Get her done, get her done.
00:24:07I'm loud as hell.
00:24:08I think I'm Beyonce.
00:24:13Gigi, get out that window.
00:24:14I work as a cheer slash gymnastics coach.
00:24:17I want T's, and I need it ticked right up.
00:24:20R-A-I-G-I-G-I.
00:24:26Raider, rumble.
00:24:30I don't got to put on no cheer outfit to shake my stuff, baby.
00:24:33What's up?
00:24:43What's up?
00:24:44Hello.
00:24:45Finally.
00:24:46Hello.
00:24:47My dang.
00:24:49I'm ready for a drink.
00:24:50I don't mind if I diddly doo.
00:24:52I mind if you diddly don't.
00:24:56There you go.
00:24:58You know, I appreciate y'all coming.
00:24:59It's my last little, you know, hoo-rah before I'm off the market.
00:25:03Yeah, we here for you.
00:25:05You feel me?
00:25:06Yeah.
00:25:07My dream man is just handsome, tall, and, like, goof around.
00:25:13We were all talking before, and they talking about you and Brian.
00:25:17You were dating him for six years?
00:25:20I heard of him, like, three months ago.
00:25:24And that's 90 days, boo.
00:25:26Okay, but so what?
00:25:27What's wrong?
00:25:28What's wrong?
00:25:29Ray, how long you known about him?
00:25:30Forever.
00:25:31All right, then.
00:25:32Six years?
00:25:33Yeah.
00:25:34I met Brian in high school.
00:25:36I was intrigued by his quietness.
00:25:40Me and Brian didn't date, but I used to wear, like, purple lipstick,
00:25:43and I would give him a kiss.
00:25:45He would just have to walk around school with, like, a kiss on the—
00:25:47even if he f****** off.
00:25:49Like, I would walk into his classes, and I would put my kiss back.
00:25:52I was on him, for real.
00:25:55What are you going to jump for?
00:25:57Uh, he went to f****** jail for robbery.
00:26:03After high school, I would see him from time to time,
00:26:06and we've always had our flirtatious moments.
00:26:09You know, I get a call, like,
00:26:10he locked up, he about to do six years.
00:26:12What the f***?
00:26:26I kind of felt the same way.
00:26:27And she's been here every step of the way, saying,
00:26:29we've been together this whole six years,
00:26:31but we finally made it official this year.
00:26:33I just love her face, like, little chunky cheeks.
00:26:35I love her smile.
00:26:36Like, she got a beautiful smile to me.
00:26:38I just—I don't know.
00:26:39Every time she light up, I light up.
00:26:40I'm just ready to be against the world with Brooklyn.
00:26:44When he get out, like, he's going to live with you?
00:26:46It's a possibility.
00:26:47I mean, if y'all talking for six years or her,
00:26:49should have been talking about it.
00:26:50Oh, my God, you should.
00:26:51Do you eventually want to live with him?
00:26:53Yes.
00:26:54I mean, I want to have children with him and everything.
00:26:56I just—
00:26:57Wait, when are you ready to do that?
00:26:58Like, tomorrow?
00:26:59Yeah, yesterday.
00:27:00No.
00:27:01I don't agree with that.
00:27:03Why?
00:27:04Is he going to get a job?
00:27:06Like, are you going to be a provider?
00:27:08Are you going to provide for you?
00:27:09I know he's not going to make me be no provider.
00:27:12I know he about to turn up,
00:27:13and he about to make sure me and his kids is straight.
00:27:17My brother is very protective of me
00:27:19because when we were really young,
00:27:21me and my brother had trust funds set up.
00:27:24My mom passed when I was 10 days old.
00:27:27She was complaining about a headache,
00:27:30and she ended up having an aneurysm.
00:27:33So we ended up doing, like, a wrongful death suit,
00:27:37and we did sue the hospital.
00:27:40I don't know, like, 100% what the dollar amount was.
00:27:44I just know that it was a great amount of money.
00:27:48Is it all about the money?
00:27:50I'm not going to say that I haven't sent Brian money,
00:27:53but it's only been, like, within, like, the recent past months
00:27:58for pretty much of his sentence,
00:28:00he has taken care of himself.
00:28:04I just don't want you to just get out of jail
00:28:06and move on with you, and then he just sitting there,
00:28:08and you don't ever play her part.
00:28:10I don't see myself doing that.
00:28:11I see myself as being there for my men.
00:28:13And I feel like he's going to be there for her, too.
00:28:16I do, too.
00:28:17How? Emotionally?
00:28:19Emotionally?
00:28:20I don't feel that you're taking it as serious
00:28:22as you need to take it.
00:28:23I feel like you just,
00:28:24I just want to take care of my man.
00:28:25I just want to do this for my man.
00:28:26I'm, like, I want to have kids.
00:28:28It's, like, it's not a fairytale.
00:28:29It's a real life.
00:28:30Why can't it?
00:28:31If it was a fairytale, he wouldn't have been in jail.
00:28:33First of all, I was probably scared to tell him about Brian
00:28:35because she was probably, like, more scared
00:28:37than what I was going to think of her.
00:28:39She doesn't know nothing about him.
00:28:41And I feel like she's moving a little bit too fast.
00:28:43We're not saying that there ain't men that be in jail
00:28:46and that be talking females' ears up
00:28:48and using them for money, all of that.
00:28:51What I'm telling you is my man ain't doing that.
00:28:54Period.
00:28:55It's his feelings, though.
00:28:57Like, relax.
00:28:58No.
00:28:59No, it's not no calm down.
00:29:00I am mad because it's my man.
00:29:03It's my team.
00:29:04He on my team.
00:29:05But you're my sister.
00:29:06Right.
00:29:07So you're supposed to be on my team.
00:29:08The truth is heard in you.
00:29:09That's why you're mad.
00:29:10Bye.
00:29:11You see what I was saying, though?
00:29:13You got to add it to your way.
00:29:19Me and your mom meeting was supposed
00:29:20to be a whole other event.
00:29:21Now it's being today.
00:29:22I'm a little hesitant meeting Savannah's mom.
00:29:25We'll make it quick.
00:29:27We can just say hi.
00:29:32Let's go.
00:29:33Let's go.
00:29:34Let's go.
00:29:35I'm going to see my man.
00:29:39Is that him?
00:29:43Hey.
00:29:54Hey, man.
00:29:55You got to get off this stupid.
00:30:03You got to get off this property.
00:30:04I know.
00:30:06Joey's been supportive this entire time that I've been down.
00:30:09And while he stood by me, held it down the whole time.
00:30:12It's unheard of for me.
00:30:13And as a matter of fact, a lot of these guys in here,
00:30:15they don't have that.
00:30:16Thank you for waiting for me.
00:30:19It's crazy.
00:30:20Crazy here.
00:30:21I know.
00:30:22Here we go.
00:30:23We got a lot more to go.
00:30:24Here we go.
00:30:26I was officially sentenced for possession
00:30:28of controlled substance with intent to deliver.
00:30:31It's always in some way been drug related.
00:30:33I want to say I've been in and out probably five times
00:30:36to this prison system, another three or four in California.
00:30:41I've never gotten out in a relationship.
00:30:44So I'm going to try harder this time to stay out.
00:30:48I brought you a ton of clothes, but I went
00:30:50and bought you some swim trunks.
00:30:52Oh, yeah.
00:30:53Maybe these will fit me.
00:30:54I'll wear this and this.
00:30:59Everything about Michael turns me on.
00:31:01His eyes, how he talks, his mannerisms, everything.
00:31:05Like just watching him now, I'm like, it just makes me goofy.
00:31:09Oh, yeah, they fit well.
00:31:14I'm way into him.
00:31:15I'm like, uh.
00:31:17I feel good now.
00:31:18I feel normal.
00:31:19Looks good.
00:31:20I was wondering if we were going to have that sexual chemistry.
00:31:22I still have it.
00:31:23I abstained from masturbation for the last week.
00:31:26Oh, nice.
00:31:27Yeah.
00:31:28It's been longer than a week for me,
00:31:30but I'm not as active as Michael.
00:31:33A few people are.
00:31:36Growing up, I never wanted to admit
00:31:38that I was homosexual.
00:31:40And I prayed really, really, really hard
00:31:43for God to make me straight.
00:31:46In high school, I was a little effeminate,
00:31:48just because, you know, I liked to play with the video camera.
00:31:51I liked to sing, and I played a lot of music.
00:31:54When I was 17 and graduated high school,
00:31:56I enlisted in the Navy.
00:31:57And after boot camp, I met the first real love of my life.
00:32:02My relationship with her lasted almost two years.
00:32:05But I had never been gay before.
00:32:09When we were at a bar, I took off with someone else.
00:32:12I loved him, and he was so good to me,
00:32:14and I broke his heart.
00:32:16I f***ed up on him,
00:32:17and I met up with my old high school friends,
00:32:19and they wanted to use.
00:32:21And it was it.
00:32:23Once I started using meth, it took all my time.
00:32:26It took all my energy.
00:32:28It took all my attention
00:32:30and took me away from my family a lot.
00:32:34Yay, we did this.
00:32:39I feel like Joey's what I've been missing my whole life.
00:32:42He's the calm to my madness.
00:32:44He brings me some sanity when I'm going crazy.
00:32:48He's more than I could ever ask for.
00:32:50What all have you got of mine?
00:32:52Your phone and your charger.
00:32:54Yeah, let me get that.
00:32:56And your phone has a different number.
00:33:00What do you mean a new number?
00:33:02Your mom erased it?
00:33:04No, I told her to keep the same number.
00:33:06When you turn it on, you'll see.
00:33:10No, she didn't change it.
00:33:12She specifically asked me the other day if she should change it,
00:33:14and I said no.
00:33:15Babe, she changed it.
00:33:17I promise.
00:33:18But you guys didn't wipe it though, right?
00:33:21Oh, hell no.
00:33:23You guys factory reset it.
00:33:25Damn, you guys really f***ed me, dude.
00:33:27I'm not even kidding.
00:33:29It's like for your own good.
00:33:31Don't do that.
00:33:33For your own good?
00:33:34Don't do that.
00:33:35No, it's not going to be good because I'm going to do what I want to do
00:33:38if I want to do it, right?
00:33:40So what do you need all your old contacts for?
00:33:48I'm thinking about...
00:33:52F***, this is so f***ed up,
00:33:54but probably the first opportunity I can do it
00:33:56and not mess anything I have going for me up.
00:34:00So...
00:34:01First opportunity you could get away with using.
00:34:08But I really don't want to lose Joey
00:34:10because he's just perfect for me.
00:34:13And I want to be perfect for him.
00:34:15It's a first start.
00:34:18Yeah.
00:34:26Is this you?
00:34:27Joseph Brooke.
00:34:30Driving the Milky Way in a dream car.
00:34:33Get that s*** off, baby.
00:34:38F***ing prison clothes.
00:34:40I feel like you shouldn't say goodbye to this place.
00:34:43Yeah, later.
00:34:46F*** you.
00:34:47Yeah, super hard.
00:34:56Holy hell.
00:34:57What?
00:34:58We are out here.
00:34:59Oh, yeah.
00:35:00How long has it been since you've driven a car?
00:35:02Oh, at least 28 months,
00:35:04two days and seven hours.
00:35:06I don't know, babe.
00:35:07A long time.
00:35:08Thank God we started in the country.
00:35:10The colors are pretty though, Mom.
00:35:12What? Trees?
00:35:13Life forms?
00:35:14What? Asphalt?
00:35:15Asphalt?
00:35:16Asphalt roads?
00:35:18Like it hasn't really fully sunk in
00:35:20that I'm free now, you know what I'm saying?
00:35:25I was kind of thinking if we switch
00:35:27and you can sit over here and play with your phone and s***.
00:35:29I'm not even going to be hyper-focused on that right now.
00:35:31It's going to be too overstimulating.
00:35:32One thing at a time.
00:35:33I mean, it's all the little things I have to get straight.
00:35:36File my EBT card.
00:35:37Get my Medicaid switched.
00:35:39Go get my probation rules.
00:35:41I don't know, open up a bank account.
00:35:43I don't want you to overwhelm yourself.
00:35:45I only have one week on.
00:35:46I literally start work on Monday.
00:35:47Before I got locked up, I started roofing
00:35:49and I'm going back into that in a couple days.
00:35:52I'm just slowly trying to get back into the groove of,
00:35:55hey, this is real.
00:35:56You know what I'm saying?
00:35:57There's s*** behind me.
00:35:58What's next?
00:35:59What's the next step?
00:36:00What can I get done?
00:36:01Why do I feel like you're talking to me
00:36:03with that attitude right now?
00:36:04I don't know, I got pissed.
00:36:08I think right now Bradley's feeling really overwhelmed.
00:36:11There's a lot of anxiety that comes with coming back home.
00:36:17However, I'm definitely looking forward to getting s***.
00:36:25Your grandma texted you.
00:36:27Randy said, I'm really not feeling well.
00:36:29Your mom is going to be taking my place at dinner.
00:36:31Steaks, sprinkle with seasoning and pepper, and continue cooking.
00:36:35You're giving us the instructions.
00:36:37Please cut that off.
00:36:39Why did you do that?
00:36:40Because why would you even set that s*** up like that?
00:36:42Because I wanted to hear what she was saying.
00:36:44Me and your mom meeting was supposed to be a whole other event.
00:36:47Now it's being today.
00:36:49Going into this situation, I'm meeting Shanoa,
00:36:52which is Savannah's mom.
00:36:54I'm a little hesitant,
00:36:56especially because we had an argument a couple months back
00:36:58about relationship ethics s***.
00:37:01We didn't really see eye to eye on certain things.
00:37:03I need to know what your plans are with my child.
00:37:07Y'all going to counseling or anything?
00:37:10What are you talking about?
00:37:11You guys are pretty toxic.
00:37:13This day was so overwhelming.
00:37:15We're so tired, I don't even want to cook the food no more.
00:37:17I just want to go to sleep.
00:37:20We can just go in through that door.
00:37:22I'm trying to relax. I'm trying to stop doing stuff.
00:37:26We'll make it quick.
00:37:28We can just say hi.
00:37:37How are you feeling?
00:37:38A little bit nervous.
00:37:40I'm happy to be out, but I'm on a time limit.
00:37:43I'm definitely not trying to go back inside that place.
00:37:46So I'm trying to hurry up and get to the halfway house to check in.
00:37:50The halfway house, they put a monitor on for two to three months.
00:37:57So I'm ready to get my monitor and start homecoming.
00:38:00I'm ready to go.
00:38:01I'm ready to go.
00:38:02I'm ready to go.
00:38:03I'm ready to go.
00:38:04I'm ready to go.
00:38:05I'm ready to go.
00:38:06I'm ready to go.
00:38:07So I'm ready to get my monitor and start home confinement with Kiana.
00:38:14I'm very nervous because they were expecting us to get there by 1.45.
00:38:18Like, dang, can he eat?
00:38:20He didn't come out on time, and the trip is long.
00:38:23His P.O. expectations.
00:38:25It's literally insane.
00:38:27Can't be that hard to put a monitor on.
00:38:29They do it all the time, so they ain't trying to make it easy.
00:38:32Why does this whole process, everybody be moving so slow?
00:38:36But they be quick to...
00:38:38Quick to put you away with a slight of remission.
00:38:41Yeah, like, come on now.
00:38:43Mm-hmm.
00:38:44Where is he?
00:38:46It's not going to take forever, I told you, man.
00:38:50I can't believe it's been two hours we've been waiting.
00:38:53Two and a half hours.
00:38:55What is there to do?
00:38:56Right.
00:38:57Maybe they think we not here.
00:39:00Let me make sure they know that we here.
00:39:02Mm-hmm.
00:39:07Yes, ma'am.
00:39:12He is going to stay here.
00:39:13I'm sorry, what?
00:39:14He is going to stay here.
00:39:19He should have been out 30 minutes ago.
00:39:24Right.
00:39:25So you're supposed to be on my team.
00:39:27The truth is hurting you.
00:39:28That's why you're mad.
00:39:29Bye.
00:39:30You see what I was saying, though?
00:39:32You got an attitude for what?
00:39:37What the fu...
00:39:38What the f...
00:39:44Hello.
00:39:46Nothing, just at the bar, chilling.
00:39:52Monty, Ray, Ovo and Jeezy.
00:39:57Jeezy, he's really like grilling me.
00:39:59Like, what is he going to do when he gets out of jail?
00:40:01What is he going to do?
00:40:02Is he going to be able to provide for you?
00:40:04Are you going to be taking care of him?
00:40:05And I'm just tired of those questions.
00:40:08Like, I get, like, his concern and that.
00:40:11But at the same time, like, you know, I'm the older sister.
00:40:14So I know what I got going on.
00:40:16You feel me?
00:40:21It just starts to bother me when I've got
00:40:23to just keep repeating myself.
00:40:25And I've got to keep saying this over and over.
00:40:27And I don't know.
00:40:28But do you love me?
00:40:34And we're going to be cool when you get released tomorrow
00:40:37and the next day and the next day and, you know.
00:40:44What did you say?
00:40:47That was for nothing.
00:40:50Since we've been together, we have been 100% faithful.
00:40:54We are very open.
00:40:56So if he has communicated with other women, I am aware of it.
00:41:00Everybody keeps calling it a fairy tale.
00:41:02Like, I'm scared that this is bullshit we ain't talking about.
00:41:07Right before we made it official,
00:41:09that's when he was talking to this who knows who in New
00:41:15Jersey, this Jersey bitch.
00:41:19They was cool for a little while.
00:41:20I would say for maybe like a few months,
00:41:23maybe they was going hard.
00:41:24And I'm like, you like that bitch?
00:41:26Like, OK, simmer down.
00:41:31Me and my sister used to be like,
00:41:32we're going to go and blow New Jersey up.
00:41:35And he used to be like, oh my god, here we go.
00:41:38So yeah, that was a time.
00:41:41I don't want you to get out and this ain't.
00:41:44We are through.
00:41:54I know Brian loves me.
00:41:56Just never stops telling me he loves me.
00:41:58He messages me and tells me his feelings all the time.
00:42:03I'm riding with you.
00:42:04F*** everybody else.
00:42:06Honestly, my intuition is literally always right.
00:42:09Like, if I feel like you're cheating, you cheating.
00:42:14What's in the past in the past and move
00:42:16forward and make new memories.
00:42:18OK, babe, I'm going to go back inside.
00:42:20But I just, I needed your good energy.
00:42:22I needed to hear your voice.
00:42:23I needed you to give me your wise words.
00:42:26I really appreciate that.
00:42:28I just want you to be free.
00:42:30I love you more.
00:42:31I feel strongly that he wants to spend his freedom with me.
00:42:38What took you so long?
00:42:39I was just like that talking to my man.
00:42:42He was giving me the reassurance that I needed.
00:42:45Jeezer, I'm just telling you as my little brother,
00:42:47like, you got to understand, I got people coming from here,
00:42:51from here, from there, from there.
00:42:53Everybody talking about.
00:42:54To listen.
00:42:56I am listening.
00:42:57I do understand.
00:42:59But I need y'all, you, to listen to me as well.
00:43:03I am.
00:43:04OK, so what's your outcome now?
00:43:05How do you feel now? The same, right?
00:43:07Yes.
00:43:07Right, so he wasn't listening.
00:43:09But I don't agree with her and stuff.
00:43:12But if I.
00:43:12So why the hell do I need to listen to what you saying
00:43:15and implement it in my life if you're not implementing
00:43:18what I'm saying to you?
00:43:20I am listening to what you're saying.
00:43:21Then he did he not just say he still got the same opinion?
00:43:24At least I got a little bit of enlightenment on mine.
00:43:26Because you need to hear it.
00:43:27Well, I'm telling you, he's the one.
00:43:33My life about to change.
00:43:34And is you with me or are you not?
00:43:38Hopefully.
00:43:39Hopefully it'll be done.
00:43:41We'll see when we see it.
00:43:48And we can go to bed now?
00:43:50Yeah.
00:43:51Her body has definitely changed.
00:43:56I'm trying to relax.
00:43:57I'm trying to stop doing stuff.
00:44:01We'll make it quick.
00:44:02We can just say hi.
00:44:10What is the.
00:44:11We can set it next to the stairs.
00:44:15What is up, mama?
00:44:16Bailey, you're home!
00:44:18How have you been?
00:44:19How are you?
00:44:22Hey.
00:44:23Yeah.
00:44:24It's been a long one, right?
00:44:26How are you?
00:44:29In the beginning when Bradley went to prison,
00:44:32he was off the chain.
00:44:33And the relationship, in my opinion, was very toxic.
00:44:37Excited to be home.
00:44:38Man, I haven't even fully said anything yet.
00:44:40I'm running on no sleep.
00:44:41I haven't heard anybody that I know of sleep the night before.
00:44:45The advocacy work that I do is for prison.
00:44:48I advocate for men and women coming home.
00:44:53You know, I'm such a support for a lot of other people
00:44:56who return home.
00:44:57And I want to be the same thing for him.
00:45:00I know because all the guys that, you know,
00:45:02I'm there when they come walking out.
00:45:04And there's nobody there.
00:45:05And they're put on a van and taken
00:45:08to wherever they're going to go.
00:45:09And it's really sad.
00:45:12And to know that they have no family
00:45:14and there's nowhere for them to go.
00:45:15And it just reminded me, I was like, I have to be here.
00:45:18When he walks in the door.
00:45:20That's deep.
00:45:21That's deep.
00:45:21That's deep.
00:45:22Well, it's true.
00:45:24Well, I appreciate you.
00:45:25I love you.
00:45:27And I'm here.
00:45:30I think my mom's always cared about Bradley.
00:45:32She just let her worries overpower
00:45:35that for a little bit.
00:45:37A few years ago, I was using drugs in my grandma's house.
00:45:41I'm pretty sure at the time, she was just
00:45:44thinking that he was probably doing the same
00:45:47considering he was still being supportive
00:45:49and remaining a part of my life despite my clear drug
00:45:52addiction.
00:45:53Who is that?
00:45:55Told you I was going to wing him back for you.
00:45:58I experienced a lot of trauma.
00:46:00And unfortunately, she did too.
00:46:04Is this going upstairs?
00:46:05Yeah, all of it.
00:46:07I mean, we don't have to take it all tonight, but.
00:46:09I mean, it's right here.
00:46:11Well, not that much.
00:46:13Oh, fuck.
00:46:16You ready to go relaxed?
00:46:17Yeah.
00:46:22I have a million and one insecurities about my body.
00:46:26I lived my life being almost 300 pounds for a long time.
00:46:31So when I was 21, I had gastric bypass.
00:46:34And then six months ago, I had a tummy tuck.
00:46:39But there's still work to be done.
00:46:43We can go to bed now?
00:46:45Yeah, please.
00:46:46Oh, you're just so easily convinced.
00:46:50I'm just trying to go to sleep, babe.
00:46:51Wow, I thought I was going to have more convincing.
00:46:54I know.
00:46:55Sex isn't really on my mind right now,
00:46:57if I'm being quite honest with you all.
00:47:00Her body has definitely changed dramatically
00:47:03since we started talking.
00:47:09She's not doing drugs.
00:47:10So, I mean, she's not 130 pounds anymore.
00:47:13So, I mean, she's definitely, she's like 150.
00:47:18You know what I'm saying?
00:47:19That 150 on a 5'4'' is kind of healthy,
00:47:22a little healthy weight.
00:47:26Good night, I love you.
00:47:28Good night, bro.
00:47:41James, an inmate at Hughes Unit to accept a spring call.
00:47:46Press 1.
00:47:47Good morning, babe.
00:47:49What are you doing awake at 5.30?
00:47:52What the f*** you want?
00:47:54I've been up since 4, mother******.
00:48:00Man, listen, my bitch-ass slept like an hour and a half.
00:48:05The anxiety.
00:48:07But you can sleep tonight.
00:48:10I sure am.
00:48:12You're not ready yet?
00:48:13No, your son keeps calling me.
00:48:15Get your s*** together, come on.
00:48:19Tell your mother.
00:48:19James, we'll be there to pick you up in a minute.
00:48:21We got to get ready.
00:48:22I'm super excited my man's getting out today.
00:48:24Today's the day.
00:48:25We're going to be there shortly, OK?
00:48:28All right, bye.
00:48:29I'm so ready.
00:48:30Like, I've been looking forward to this s*** for years now.
00:48:33Go pick my baby up.
00:48:35Yay.
00:48:35Go pick my baby up.
00:48:39Let's go.
00:48:40I can honestly say, other than, you know,
00:48:42the times when I had my kids, I've
00:48:43never been so excited for something in my life.
00:48:47I'm nervous.
00:48:48Are you nervous?
00:48:49I don't know if I need a throw-up.
00:48:51I don't know if I need to take a s***.
00:48:55Well, I'm going to tell you right now,
00:48:56mama getting the first hug.
00:48:58You better run faster than I do.
00:49:00I just hope he can stay on the straight and narrow.
00:49:05I just don't want him to ever go back.
00:49:07No, I know.
00:49:08I know.
00:49:09Never.
00:49:10I get it.
00:49:12I do feel like JK is going to be tempted a lot.
00:49:15He's been in and out of prison and, you know,
00:49:17on and off drugs since he was 17 years old.
00:49:20He's now 31.
00:49:21Like, spending most of your life thugging,
00:49:23doing these things that you know you're not supposed to do.
00:49:28I hope he's able to fight that.
00:49:31You know, something he doesn't realize is,
00:49:34yeah, it's hard on him because he's locked up.
00:49:36OK.
00:49:38But it's hard on us.
00:49:40It's hard on the family.
00:49:42Yeah.
00:49:43Throughout the whole time he's been gone this time,
00:49:45like, I think he's probably realized that a lot more now.
00:49:53The hardest thing about being in prison for me is
00:49:56time missed, missing out on your family.
00:49:59I've lost both my grandfathers down here.
00:50:02My grandfather, Jones, when he passed away,
00:50:04he was in a coma.
00:50:06And they called me down there and I got on the phone
00:50:09and I could hear him breathing.
00:50:11So I got to tell him bye.
00:50:13And it was hard.
00:50:17It was tough.
00:50:22I'm a better man.
00:50:22I'm a changed man.
00:50:23So I'm a different man today than I used to be.
00:50:30Do you think Alex is going to try to show up?
00:50:32Oh, she better not.
00:50:33No.
00:50:35I take this exit?
00:50:36Yeah, take this exit.
00:50:38And then go look?
00:50:39And then go look.
00:50:40OK.
00:50:41This ex-Alex better not be at this release.
00:50:45The last thing I'm trying to do is
00:50:47have this great moment turn sideways, because that's
00:50:50what would happen real fast.
00:50:53We made it.
00:51:00I think I need to throw up now.
00:51:05Look.
00:51:07Look where we're at.
00:51:11It's time.
00:51:14Last time we have to be at this place.
00:51:17I love it.
00:51:30Just a truck.
00:51:34And every time I see movement, my heart stops.
00:51:36I'm like.
00:51:37What time is it?
00:51:398.30.
00:51:408.30?
00:51:41OK, so he should have been out like 30 minutes ago.
00:51:44They told me 8 o'clock.
00:51:45Yeah.
00:51:47I think they're coming.
00:51:50Don't get my hopes up.
00:51:51No, for real, for real.
00:51:52Not this car, but back there.
00:51:55Girl, you just lied to me.
00:51:58No, I really swear it was them.
00:51:59We're lying to me.
00:52:01It's too good to be true.
00:52:03I've been waiting on this for three years,
00:52:06and it just, like, my heart literally just can't handle it.
00:52:12Is this him?
00:52:14Is this him?
00:52:21What'd they say?
00:52:21I need to calm down.
00:52:23This is wrong.
00:52:24It's always something.
00:52:33Yes, ma'am.
00:52:34He is going to stay here.
00:52:35I'm sorry, what?
00:52:36He is going to stay here.
00:52:41This was a shock to me.
00:52:42I was going to get him ready to go home,
00:52:44and they said, no, he's staying.
00:52:45He wasn't aware of that.
00:52:47Yeah, but again, now that he's entered another division
00:52:50with the Bureau of Prisons, there was
00:52:52a lot of misunderstanding.
00:52:54Right now, the decision is no, until we can clear this off.
00:52:57When will you get an answer?
00:52:59I got to find it.
00:53:02It's really frustrating, because I
00:53:03wish they would have voiced potentially holding DeModric.
00:53:08This is just a curveball that I was not expecting,
00:53:10and I can't even breathe right now.
00:53:11I can't even think.
00:53:12I can't even, I just, I just can't.
00:53:14What's wrong?
00:53:17I'm pissed off.
00:53:18What's wrong?
00:53:20What?
00:53:21I'm pissed off.
00:53:22I'm pissed off.
00:53:22I'm pissed off.
00:53:23I'm pissed off.
00:53:24I'm pissed off.
00:53:25I'm pissed off.
00:53:26I'm pissed off.
00:53:26I'm pissed off.
00:53:27I'm pissed off.
00:53:28I'm pissed off.
00:53:30What are they saying?
00:53:30They said he has to stay here.
00:53:32He has to stay here?
00:53:33Yes, he has to stay here.
00:53:35For how long?
00:53:36They don't know.
00:53:38I need to calm down.
00:53:41She's coming to the car.
00:53:42Park me off, like, and go inside.
00:53:44You're going to have to do it if you park close.
00:53:46I'm not going to move her.
00:53:49That tears me up, man.
00:53:50It just, it makes me want to cry.
00:53:52And that's just, this is just wrong.
00:53:59They have got to be kidding me.
00:54:02You put a woman through all that hell
00:54:04and don't realize everything that she has to do
00:54:06to get herself back together.
00:54:09I need to go home.
00:54:11There's despair on her face because now she's like,
00:54:14I do all this to make sure my man can come home to me.
00:54:17We went through all this as teenagers.
00:54:19We went through all this as young adults.
00:54:21And now we get to a point where we can actually become a family,
00:54:24become something more.
00:54:25And this happens.
00:54:27It's a slap in the face to her.
00:54:29I know this is rough.
00:54:30I'm very sorry that this happened
00:54:32because this should not have happened.
00:54:34And I'm just so sorry, baby.
00:54:35You have to go through that, mama.
00:54:36They do not care at all.
00:54:39All right, mama.
00:54:40Let me jump out of here then.
00:54:41I love you.
00:54:42I appreciate you.
00:54:43It's going to be OK, I promise you.
00:54:48What happened?
00:54:50He paid his debt.
00:54:51Let him go.
00:54:52Like, why are y'all withholding him?
00:54:53He did what he needed to do.
00:54:55Like, why are y'all keeping him?
00:54:57I'm just so frustrated.
00:54:59Free my man.
00:55:02It's always something.
00:55:06Always something.
00:55:17Oh, I'm so bad.
00:55:19Oh, I'm so bad.
00:55:26I got to stay strong for him, which is hard,
00:55:30because I don't deal with emotions very well,
00:55:33especially when I'm pissed off.
00:55:34Like, it just gets to be too much.
00:55:36My anger gets to be too much.
00:55:41They can f*** a fat one for all I care right now
00:55:43and choke on it, because I'm about done.
00:55:49I'm done.
00:55:56Some people just know they could save hundreds on car insurance
00:55:58by checking Allstate first.
00:56:01Like you know to check the game is actually over.
00:56:06Before we storm the court.
00:56:14Yeah, checking first is smart.
00:56:16So, check Allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds.
00:56:22You're in good hands with Allstate.
00:56:24We're in a volcano to test Finnish Ultimate against tough burnt-on stains.
00:56:30Finnish Ultimate breaks them down.
00:56:32Oh my goodness, is that him?
00:56:36Is that him?
00:56:37Bro.
00:56:38Oh my god.
00:56:39Oh my god.
00:56:44I feel like I can see his dreads.
00:56:46Oh, he coming.
00:56:52Hi babe.
00:57:01Oh my god.
00:57:04It feels good.
00:57:05It feels great.
00:57:06I'm free.
00:57:08This is overwhelming for real.
00:57:11It's a lot to take in.
00:57:13Oh my goodness.
00:57:14Outta here, y'all.
00:57:16This is the first time we done met outside of prison.
00:57:18I just love that he's a real man and he puts the effort in and he wants to be the leader
00:57:24and take charge and I just love that.
00:57:26So, real man.
00:57:32You look so good.
00:57:35You can tell me Tyler and then what's coming.
00:57:38I ain't know till the last minute, man.
00:57:40Let's pull it up.
00:57:41What's up my brothers, man?
00:57:43Yeah.
00:57:45What's up my guys?
00:57:49Man, good to see you, bro.
00:57:53Shake it all in.
00:57:55It's up.
00:57:56Super excited that Julius is finally home and we can finally turn up.
00:58:01It's just good to have you home, bro.
00:58:03We ain't never coming back here.
00:58:04We ain't never gotta see this place again.
00:58:07Man, I ain't coming back to jail.
00:58:09Never.
00:58:10We about to go live it up, though.
00:58:12Yeah, it's the time.
00:58:13Yeah, there's a lot of things he missed out on, you know what I'm saying?
00:58:16He came in with what, he's 18?
00:58:18So, he missed out on a lot of clubbing, a lot of girls, a lot of family experience.
00:58:24I'm about to put this s*** on right now.
00:58:26He's about to turn the s*** up.
00:58:28What's in that cup?
00:58:30A little bit of Patron.
00:58:32Yeah, you know.
00:58:33Smack.
00:58:35First time drinking legally.
00:58:38Babe, let me get my cell phone.
00:58:43I activated a setup for you.
00:58:47In prison, they call me Links.
00:58:49Basically, I'm just Tall Linky.
00:58:51You know the term is lanky, though, right?
00:58:53Yeah, lanky, linky.
00:58:55Yeah.
00:58:56Whatever, you know what I'm saying?
00:58:58You ready to go?
00:58:59Yeah.
00:59:00You ready to go get some breakfast?
00:59:01Yeah.
00:59:02Growing up, it was hard.
00:59:04My mama, she had it hard.
00:59:06So, we didn't grow up with a lot of money and none of that.
00:59:08So, that's kind of how I fell into my ways of getting into dealing with drugs and trying to make quick cash.
00:59:15When I was about 15 or 16, I started selling Fentanyl.
00:59:20And then, the police was on me.
00:59:22They sent one of their confidential informants at me.
00:59:25Basically, I served a confidential informant.
00:59:29Yeah, that was it.
00:59:31I spent six years in prison.
00:59:35All right, so, let's go.
00:59:39When you're in prison, the people that you think are going to be there for you don't really be there for you.
00:59:45So, when somebody you barely know show you more loyalty,
00:59:50you're going to be more loyal to them.
00:59:53That was Alexis.
00:59:54She more than my girl.
00:59:55Like, she my best friend.
00:59:57My energy be good when I'm around her.
00:59:59What about Ashley?
01:00:01I mean, yeah, yeah.
01:00:03Bro, ride with us for the breakfast.
01:00:05All right, bro, I'm going to just ride with them for breakfast.
01:00:08Why?
01:00:09We're going to ride all the way back home together.
01:00:11You about to have him for the rest of the day?
01:00:13We're about to go.
01:00:14Let's go.
01:00:15Let's go.
01:00:16Let's go.
01:00:17Let's go.
01:00:18Let's go.
01:00:19Let's go.
01:00:20Let's go.
01:00:21Let's go.
01:00:23We about to be riding all the way home together.
01:00:24Whatever.
01:00:27It's going to piss me off later today.
01:00:29It makes me mad.
01:00:30I'm the one that's sacrificing so much to make sure you even get to this point.
01:00:35I've probably spent around $1,100, $1,200 on Julius.
01:00:39Where were your boys all these six years?
01:00:41Where were they at?
01:00:42Why weren't they funding you?
01:00:44Why weren't they trying to come see you or at least put money on your books?
01:00:47You know, making sure you're straight.
01:00:48Like, you got to focus on who really focused on you.
01:00:52Let's drink.
01:00:53Let's smoke.
01:00:54Gotta smoke a Zot.
01:00:55What?
01:00:56Zot.
01:00:57That's all they've been on them for.
01:00:58Exotics.
01:00:59Life's crazy.
01:01:00I know.
01:01:02Six years, no tears, no bicker.
01:01:04No bicker.
01:01:05No bicker.
01:01:07Having a cell phone, it's like freedom to be able to communicate and connect with everybody
01:01:12that I ain't had in a long time, you know what I'm saying?
01:01:14I got access to the world.
01:01:16Who is the first person you're going to call?
01:01:19I'm calling Ashley.
01:01:22Just be careful.
01:01:23I feel like I'm a firm believer in, like, there's jail talk, there's real talk, and
01:01:27there's home talk.
01:01:28Right.
01:01:29You know what I mean?
01:01:30So there's three different.
01:01:31Hell yeah.
01:01:32You're going to tell somebody what you want to hear while you're in prison.
01:01:33No, for sure.
01:01:34And then you're going to be with them when you come home or you're not.
01:01:36And then when they come home, home and out for everything, see if they're going to rock
01:01:39with you or they're not.
01:01:40Bruh.
01:01:42I'm not going to let a couple of doubts scare me.
01:01:45I can't just not be with him and then wonder what it could have been.
01:01:49I have to realize myself if it's not going to work out.
01:01:52But I know when Julius gets out, we're going to be together 24-7 and no one else is going
01:01:57to be able to get hands on him.
01:01:59Make sure you stop right here.
01:02:01Right at the corner, right at the very corner.
01:02:04All of them in the hole.
01:02:06That's the hole.
01:02:07That's the hole right there?
01:02:08That's the hole.
01:02:09I like when my girl is life of the party, unpredictable, and that's Ashley.
01:02:14Hey, freedom, boys!
01:02:15Out the hole!
01:02:17Right now, I'm feeling great.
01:02:19You know, I just got out of prison.
01:02:21I finally get to see Alexis for the first time.
01:02:23I get to kick it with Ashley.
01:02:25I don't like sneaking around because it's too much.
01:02:28But you know what I'm saying?
01:02:30Like, it's got to be done.
01:02:31Hey, what's up, my brother?
01:02:34You know what's going on?
01:02:36You know, I don't like to be able to predict everything you can do because it keeps me
01:02:41on my toes, you know?
01:02:42It's exciting.
01:02:44Love you, too, brother!
01:02:45Keep your head up!
01:02:46F*** over with!
01:02:47Woo!
01:02:48How did we get around?
01:02:49What the f*** is going on?
01:02:50That was a lot.
01:02:55Oh, my God.
01:02:56You calling right now?
01:02:57I think this is Julius.
01:03:00Next Friday on an all-new Love After Lockup.
01:03:02If the bitch that's picking you up don't let me see you, I'm a fighter.
01:03:05Y'all do not need to have any children.
01:03:07It would be a lot of fun.
01:03:08It would be a lot of fun.
01:03:09It would be a lot of fun.
01:03:10It would be a lot of fun.
01:03:11It would be a lot of fun.
01:03:12It would be a lot of fun.
01:03:14It would be at least nine months.
01:03:15You're driving me insane.
01:03:16I feel like I got betrayed, dude.
01:03:18Bitch, why is you attacking me?
01:03:19As far as drama goes, anything's possible.
01:03:21It's time.
01:03:22If he gets f***ing around with someone else, see you tomorrow, then he's gonna be busted.
01:03:28Don't miss an all-new Love After Lockup next Friday.
