25:48[00:00] Do I have to talk about this? I brought my friends Trevor and Ben so we can figure out who the real criminal is. and how many years you spent in prison.
[00:15] He did it. I served just a day over a year, 366 days for assault and battery. Three sixty-six.
[00:28] It is very specific. My name is Michelle. I burned down the building accidentally, and I did time for 15 months in prison.
[00:43] Yeah, she looks a little nervous, too. I served 13 months for grand theft auto. I did three years grand larceny.
[00:58] No, no, that's Larsen's. Contestant five. I went to jail for grand theft and impersonating a police officer, and I pled out for 45 days and I served 23.
[01:13] which is a good thing. My name is Jimmy. I served 40 months of a 48 month sentence.
[01:26] I think so. Yeah. Hey, what's up? My name is Moses. I used to also crack safes.
[01:40] But selling drugs and cracking safes is kind of like hand in hand. You would do drugs to open the safe because what's in the safe, All right, we heard all of your stories.
[01:54] Mine is number two. I'm locking that in. Nothing personal. can you tell me again your crime and how many years you spent in prison?
[02:07] I actually was writing creative parking tickets for my neighborhood, I'm kind of torn between 2 and 5 as well. legit enough for, like, being, like,
[02:23] Are you flirting on this show? All right, we're doing five. Inside this prison cell are five banned items. The criminal's goal is to mark
[02:37] Remember, you only have five markers, so use it wisely. And what is that blue bottle? That guy in the blue is the one who said he was a forger.
[02:51] Oh, interesting. You can't have this. But if you're creative, you can get it in there.
[03:05] Can have a toothbrush in prison, but you can't have... the facility? Because if not, they're not allowed. I'm tagging the food because you're not allowed to have excess food in your cell,
[03:18] Okay, you've got one more minute left. I don't know about that. What's a soap dish? And this little digital device,
[03:31] I see prisoners on TikTok live in this day and age, And I'm going to mark this, uh... hard book. Also,
[03:46] I'm like, are you sure you haven't seen orange? They all tagged this right here. What is this? The problem with this is that has alcohol in it.
[04:01] The Grand Theft Auto guy marked these because they weren't white. The Grand Theft Auto guy is just throwing me off with the soda, He marked this because he said it was too much food in the prison but that's,
[04:14] What are your thoughts on this soap dish? He did have the point that there is built in ones on the sink. You can't hurt someone with that.
[04:26] It's a tablet that's like for educational entertainment, And it has a clear case because that way they can make sure Yeah,
[04:40] I'm thinking the Grand Theft Auto guy cause he tagged the shoes, Yeah, he's good. so we're thinking Grand Theft Auto guy seems to be the worst.
[04:54] What are they eyeing first? It's your cell, you don't have to take your shoes off. took off shoes.
[05:06] You can use this, uh, your cellmate when he's sleeping. It. Oops. Because you can learn stuff.
[05:21] I think we know who we should have voted out of the first round. Yeah, those are my shoes. Let me put... Oh, woah!
[05:36] That seemed very easy for him. He's just about to lift up the whole cell. Ah, the bed frame! That looks dangerous.
[05:48] Japanese cell, we don't have bed anyway. Futon. The mattress. not come here and do a game show and stick stickers all over stuff.
[06:05] How many do I even have now? 1, 2, 3, 4. You're good. He's an angry one. I don't think he's been in jail, but I think he's going to jail.
[06:17] Nobody tagged the toothbrush. can be made into this. you scrape this toothbrush on the concrete for two hours.
[06:30] Look how dangerous it is. But couldn't you shank that one down, too? There's a couple different variations, but they're called security brushes.
[06:44] is tagging the mirror here, but it's a bendable mirror, All three on the bag for suffocating. so it's really just trash.
[06:58] you could cut it the sides and make it longer and like... That's also true. This is also true. So, no one tagged the hardcover book, but these are banned hardcover,
[07:11] And most prisoners are illiterate. So, see how the cover, the cover is taken off here, Nobody tagged the pen on that last round.
[07:28] That's so obvious, though. This would be used to shank someone. so they're probably imagining that it's what it's used for
[07:40] it has to be a special prison approved pen like this. you can't stab anyone with this because it will just bend. I can still stab you with this.
[07:54] And then last up, obviously everyone picked the metal fork, so metal forks are definitely not allowed in a prison cell. What is allowed is a plastic
[08:07] it's all about thin plastic so they can't make it into a weapon. Yeah. The girl took her, her shoes off.
[08:21] Yeah. That's crazy. you definitely would have read a book within 15 months. All right, so who are we leaning towards?
[08:34] Number two, what did you do again? What crime? and I was working at the sushi restaurant part time. and I
[08:49] Where's there even fire in a sushi restaurant? and I also tried to break the little safe because I heard that there was a secret recipe.
[09:01] I've seen SpongeBob. erase my footsteps. Did you hear?
[09:16] Well, that CCTV caught me. No way, man. This is... But couldn't you tiptoe quieter?
[09:29] To who? I think we gotta stick with our... Okay. All right, sorry.
[09:43] Bye. That just didn't make any sense to me. we each get to ask three questions and we're gonna start with Trevor.
[09:56] and where were you, uh, incarcerated? San Quentin, Pelican Bay? They process there so once I get a bed, then they transfer me to Pelican Bay.
[10:14] It's not a holding cell, that's just regular jail. Number one, you mentioned, uh, assault and battery. I was a bouncer working out in front of the club and the guy that came in,
[10:30] excited that he got to drink, and he got belligerent. he kept coming back. He kept coming back, kept coming back, and...
[10:43] Oh, no. I mean... his brain had swelled. Oh, man. He's either a really good actor or...
[10:59] He's like, to me, it's like it's coming off so personal. He's a kid that got beat up and he almost died and he's got mental Okay, seems like a real story.
[11:11] Can you tell me more about your forgery? It was documents, it was VIN numbers. or
[11:23] How long were you locked up for? Federal Prison Camp. For good service?
[11:36] And what'd you do to be such a good boy, man? It's not it's like a barracks. There's no locks on the door.
[11:49] And 400 inmates roughly provide free labor for the naval base. It's money launderers, it's corrupt politicians. There's big guns in there, there's insider traders.
[12:03] No, this is... Uh, he's not my buddy. He's not... Number seven in the jorts, you mentioned that you cracked a safe.
[12:15] So, I didn't use tools at all, I actually worked in a gym, and it was a turnstile safe so you put, you dropped the checks up top. No, you had to keep going, like,
[12:29] and you had to turn it all the way. A mailbox? you'll see an envelope just sitting there. and I could just hear it just kind of scooping.
[12:43] but then I was getting some envelopes started popping down. 12, 13 envelopes. And then I just specifically and I put the rest back.
[12:56] But sometimes too much specificity makes me wonder, I used to go uptown I bought kilos, bagged it up, and sold it on the street.
[13:10] Yeah, pickpocketing. I would take people's credit cards, wallets, cash, and I got busted by undercover cop.
[13:23] Yeah, of course I did. You think I just left them there? Three years for pickpocketing? And where'd you serve?
[13:36] And when you were in jail, did anybody pick your pockets? I'm having a tough time right now. Hondas and Acuras.
[13:49] It was a lot. So, from 1989 to 2000, those keys... If you could cut them right, they're called master keys. Number seven, what are bobos?
[14:02] We take, like, the... break it up and put it in the hot water and just makes, Does anyone here disagree with that?
[14:16] Oh, I don't know. if they disagree? bobos are supposed to be prison issued shoes,
[14:29] We have our different, our own. you know the term in prison, a fish? on top of the...
[14:44] No. what we didn't tell you is that one of you will get the opportunity to ask You should use those questions to try to prove that someone else
[14:56] And after this round, one of you will be eliminated. who you want to target and why. Let me show you the partner of today's video.

[17:14] three questions however you like. or you can spread it across three different people. You went to jail, Fish! They didn't.
[17:27] Nineteen ninety-nine. How many people were in your bunk? What's a medium?
[17:41] It's like they're kind of patrolling, but not really? The mediums, they have cubicles. The cubicles in the middle have single bunks.
[17:55] He overshared. I like that. They dropped some other charges, and I pled a second degree. lined it up. Went in, pled,
[18:09] It's minimum security and they do have two bunks. There's no lock on the door, there's no fence, there's no barb wire. I got there,
[18:23] Yeah. Baggy. Khaki color. Everybody's pretty well behaved.
[18:36] My closest bunk mate was a professional athlete who was selling fake memorabilia. So you got your job assignment, your clothes, you got your bunk, Everybody there doesn't want to go anywhere else.
[18:49] I'm talking, like, first night, like, stew. Oh, my gosh! I don't know!
[19:02] I think it could be. the man in the blue shirt. I was thinking fish.
[19:15] We'll go with the Timberlands. Go with number Sorry, sir.
[19:27] All right, we'll see the four of you in round four. you will have to vote if a felon can or cannot own the items This is kind of becoming a monkey circus. Do I have to do this?
[19:41] Hit green if you can own it, red if you can't. 3, 2, 1. A passport. they usually can have a passport.
[19:53] Up next, a Glock. But I can. Under box number three, we've got
[20:08] a Taser. Looks like everyone got that one right. body armor.
[20:24] Violent felons typically cannot have body armor. The next item is... jury summons.
[20:37] Number seven was incorrect. Because you didn't go to jail? What's up? I'm protected right now.
[20:51] an iPhone. Well, in prison, that might be a different story. you can't have a passport when you're in prison and your first
[21:06] I wish, though, so I never been able to have a passport. I did juvie prison, and then I did regular prison after 18.
[21:19] I actually was on the run from my juvie on parole when I caught my adult charges. Yeah. Wow. Uh... number one, I believe,
[21:31] If you want, we could just... Sweet. number one, he seems like he's an angry, angry person.
[21:44] But he could have been, he could have been Just go with these guys. Let me be done. I'm going number one
[21:56] Home Jury dismissed. All right, you guys are the final three,
[22:08] That's easy. I basically grew up in prison. each contestant will have to show us how they committed the crimes give you a prime example.
[22:21] Timmy, I'm looking at your bald head! I just run that pocket like this. Get the peck. Man, you lucky they hold me back.
[22:34] Give me this. So, I'm not a safe cracker, but I crack safes. That's more than I'm getting paid today.
[22:48] What was the biggest safe you did? I'll give you a prime example. Right. What I did is I put it on its side, that it turned side up here,
[23:02] Yeah. No, You know, I was good at a bunch of bad things.
[23:15] And I didn't want to be labeled a robber, a dealer. I took that same hustle and applied it in the sales, Yes, I do... I have this gun right here.
[23:29] Is that where it says that one word? I don't want to mess with a guy with a tattoo like that. But I thought you were the one...
[23:42] They labeled me a dealer, so that's kind of what I became. Yeah, he just took the money. He didn't do it.
[23:54] Just going in there, smash the window, use the key, turn in ignition, in and out because time is very important when you're stealing cars. We created keys. They're called master keys.
[24:09] Couldn't you just unlock the door? But you made a key for it, right? we have to do the ignition and turn it on.
[24:21] Yeah, that's. But... We're gonna put a car right in front of you. All right, I would just go to the driver's side,
[24:35] come inside, just jimmy the ignition, take the car and bounce. It's not even a minute. It's so quick you can't even say anything.
[24:51] because you got to, the, the hardest part is jimmying, What do we got here? Signature is the last thing you change on a check.
[25:05] Line it up, Mike. All right. I hope, hope you don't use these later. So first thing about your signature, you sign your name a lot,
[25:20] I use the table? Yeah. He just computed the signature in his head and rewrote it.
[25:33] Think about forgery, it's not what people think. I used to do this all the time in middle school when I Yes. Architecture and mechanical engineering.
[25:48] Man! He did that like he looked at it and then just did it, That to me, was pretty wild.
[26:00] I was going to describe how I changed VIN numbers. numbers. First one is the raw VIN number. Second one is graphite, edge of a pencil over the numbers,
[26:14] puttied, sanded, painted, stamped graphite. I made it all sevens to make it look obvious to you guys. The second one is where I put graphite to make numbers pop.
[26:29] Just so I know what was the original. Yeah. You went.
[26:41] But did, no. You think he knows how to use AI? Look at the first pencil mark by the J. This between the guy flipping the safe and money appearing.
[26:55] Either you have been to prison or you're about to go because I have a son, son-in-law. My wife's family -. helped me through all of it.
[27:07] 10 years next month when I, since I got out. But you seem, uh, like you learned your lessons. you forge it once or twice, knowing it's...
[27:20] Yea! Did it make you want to... That's still a crime, though. been let out?
[27:32] Am I right, Jimbo?! Let's bring them all back out. All right, so. And I will say at lunch we did look up how a ninja does walk.
[27:48] So we might have fumbled this entire video the building. But, you know, I definitely was most impressed with, with the forger,
[28:01] He did mess up when you asked him about his day in prison. That's what I'm going for, what do, what do you guys think? Number six. That's our vote.
[28:13] Here we go. Will the real felon please step forward?
[28:28] What?! Yes, sir. Everybody else here was lying. What?!
