These young street boys need to watch this.

I was sent to USP Atlanta back in the 80’s, right after the Cuban riot at the prison. I was a first time offender for possession of marijuana ( not with intent to sell, if you can believe that, but for simple possession) and for not cooperating with the feds. They said as a first time non violent offender, I could go to a plush prison camp, with no walls, except that I must snitch. Well, I knew I was only facing a few years so I decided to keep my mouth shut which pissed off the DEA, and BAM!, they sent me to Atlanta. When I got there the place still looked like a war zone from the riot and living was a little rough. Many cell blocks had no glass in the windows, no running water, plumbing barely worked, chow hall destroyed. They guards let us take pretty much whatever we wanted to cook over campfires. So we hunkered down for the winter and did the best we could. Spring came and it became much warmer and we thrived. The guards never bothered us and we stayed out on the yard most of the day and half the night. I had good times and learned alot about myself. I never had any problems with anyone except one particular nutjob from Dallas. I taught him some manners and never had another issue. Sometimes I miss USP Atlanta. I was 28, now 65. Never went to jail after that and became a successful father and husband ( I crack down on my son and grandson. I won’t tolerate wrongdoing with my kids and grandkids 😊). I saw terrible things but I think it’s all up to the individual. Play stupid games in prison and you’ll get your just reward. It’s what YOU make it.

I am happy that you and your brother made it through. Thank you for sharing how you knew how to make it in that he'll created.

This man said it look like Count Dracula stayed there 😂😂😂

Glad Yall Made It Out Bro Facts

Black men break this cycle!!

Sky is beautiful in the background

My brother did 27 years there his name was Robert Lee Lane maybe you know him they called him shag got out July 2016 clemency president Obama love ❤️ that he made it home 🏠 glory to God

A real good friend of mine did over 20 years in Atlanta. Never made it out. Died of cancer in Rochester. Miss him to this day. Glad you made it.

Well i did almost 8 years in a low and some camps. It wasn't scary at all but my freedom was gone. I was middle manning some sh!t and you already know how that turned out for me. But it's a 🙏🏾 blessing you and your brother made it through. So stay focus and stay bless. ✌🏾

Sonny this Lil Darrell from D-Unit in USP Atlanta how is your Brother Sweet doing I’m glad to see you doing positive things.

USP Atlanta looks cold and miserable. I have never seen anyone came in or out. You can still see the old warden house on the property. The USP sat in the hood right next to 4 seasons. A now gentrified Atlanta yes but that prison sits front and center. It is not hidden down some winding road. The city wants you to see it. Wants you to know they will send you there.

I used to work at USP Atlanta. I believe it's low security now. I'm retired. It was crazy back in the day

Just watched this. Wow. You came across really well. Your face said it all when you said thats where you got sent to. That must have pushed you to the limit. You look in good shape today and are clearly mentally strong to have gone through that system. Best of luck to you. Ive subscribed.

I remember growing up on that side of town from being over my aunt house in Richmond oak’s apartment that sat behind the prison and Englewood manor and trestle tree village. We drove by it every day and my mom used to always say that’s where we would end up if we don’t listen to them.

You picked a prime example of being out of prison/ free.The background scenery is tops!

Glad youll made it out God bless youll.

That prison looks intimidating from the outside it’s huge for no reason

I Did 12 Years And Spent 9 Of Those Years There In Atlanta Penitentiary...It Was A Hella Experience...Slept On All 3 Floors In A -Unit...Never Again...

When he said that it looked like Count Dracula lived there. I was like SHIT!!!

Brutha I can look in your eyes, and see horror,,I feel u thru the phone, i trust any young’n look’n at this clip heed ur advice!!!!!

Real talk that sht was crazy Leavenworth was Crazy to

This is exactly how I felt being in downtown Atlanta late last weekend

USP Atlanta is a creepy looking building for sure. And the houses that is on it's property that is decaying does not help its appearance. Its a sight one will never forget.

Beautiful GOD watching everything you do. Blessings forever beautiful GOD and Jesus loves y'all forever. teach everyone you know and don't know.

I feel you I did time in USP Atlanta and USP Florence all USP those UPS no jokes

Thank God you made it big bro!

Thats a fact USP looks like a castle or dungeon.. old dark brick hallways smh

I was in USP ATLANTA ON B1 LOWER I WAS RELEASED FROM THERE IN '03

Came through ATL pen in transit. 2 man cells had 4 people in it. They gave you a mat and you found a spot on floor. Wild spot. I left Lewisburg Pen 2 years prior was on way to FCI. Got to ATL they black box me just cause I was from DC. Never been black box nowhere else my entire 9 in..

I dealt in my work with many men who came out of Atlanta Penitentiary.

I remember seeing railroad tracks coming in the yard I saw from a window while going to medical and found out the tracks were out there when Al Capone was brought there then they built the stone wall but left the tracks there

I went thru there twice in transit and the first time going there when we came around the corner where the cemetery was and I saw the USPS on the left I said holy shit what have I got myself into but I was only in transit or the holdover thank God it wasn't as bad but I remember having to go to medical and they had to make sure all inmates at USP were cleared in the hall ways but ya it was a spooky ass place

Much love to you bro.

I've heard a lot of guys talk about USP Atlanta. Was that the scariest you've been in?

Bro you look familiar , I was in USP Atlanta from 95 thru 2001

Keep the ball in your hands; once you cross that line, someone else has the ball!!

Did you know a cat name Rodney Chism when you were there?

USP Atlanta was dirty ASF , glad u home bro

Sometimes the simplest answer is your answer

Great beard big bro

Alto State Prison was dangerous also

I did 8 hours in county. My girl got me out. Never again!

I didn't hear anything you said but I feel like I know you have been busy being serious man

Yea we all have stories i was at graterford prison as guard walking you to your block inmates fighting over your fate and who goona have control of you first thing i did was buy homemade wack and i became first rate surgeon

I spent 2 weeks at USP Atlanta to avoid a snow storm on my way to FCI Bennetsville South Carolina

Nothing he said went together. He made 200 statements about 200 different things but he claimed not to know what was going on and not to know certain people. This seems to be a common theme amongst inmates. Feigning ignorance, yet still ending up with decades long sentences

did you go to bloody b.mount

What about Jimmy Favors or Buford Burnum

You cant call a pay phone from jail😂

Every says that those southern prison are weird and scary!!!

Lovie Smith

i live not far from the prison

Ummm what? He’s on his indictment???? wtf bro, is he special?

Haunted house 😂

You don't even look like a prison type of guy

Lookeded

The only thing interesting about this clip is the background...sounds made up 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😊.

Why did he think a prison was the Hyatt regency? I bet he and his brother was 2 of the biggest snitches in there trying to make their circumstances better. Telling on errrrrrrrrrrbody

IRemember you and your brother.

Worst storyteller ever.

Old man, stay your ass out of trouble.

There's no such thing as an Atlanta penitentiary. SMH I guess you just used Atlanta for the clicks. But I'ma assume you meant a Georgia prison. Brunswick is not Atlanta SMH. Stop trying to use Atlanta for clicks. My bad the federal prison is in Atlanta and that's it. But he said Brunswick.
