Sean Strickland Defends Raja Jackson Against Jail Time for Assault: ‘Prison Should Be a Last Resort’

“Jackson’s kid shouldn’t go to jail,” Strickland wrote on X. “Prison should always be a last resort.”

“I was arrested at 19 for two Felony A GBIs [Great Bodily Injuries],” he wrote. “I would of spent 5 to 6 years in prison if the DA had its way. After 6 years in a cell coming out with nothing, being indoctrinated with gangs and violence, I guarantee I would of killed someone. There was one guy telling me about how he picked up a murder charge and I remembered being impressed by him. That would of been my future.”

A plea deal for 100 days of jail or work release, anger management, and restitution kept him from a worse path.
