I sent this to Tommy’s Widow- she’s the actual approval for the quality of the videos on Tommy videos ☺️ Much respect, and a great video.

looking forward to this one. The Brand had always fascinated me. Good work Jeff!

Hi Jeff, you keep coming up with fresh content every week. I appreciate but can't imagine the work work you put into every episode. As always, cheers from Australia

Great interview. As someone who learned of Silverstein on the internet, this was highly informative. I’m buying the book.

Hey Jeff, you might have heard this before but you are a really great one on one interviewer.

This is really interesting to me in the fact that I actually met Silverstein in transfer in Oklahoma. I had no idea of his history but we got along for the two to three weeks we spent together and played cards together a bunch. Something the other inmates warned against because of his history. I had never read the hot house and he urged me to do so but not to judge him, which I didn't. He just seemed really happy to have a friend that was a fellow artist, I'm currently a professional tattoo artist in Winston Salem NC. He was really friendly and I never even felt uncomfortable or in any way fearful of him in any way, I had no preconceived notions of him so therefore didn't believe he was dangerous, which after reading the book and learning more about him I didn't feel any different as far as that goes, just really sorry for him. He was a really nice guy during the time I spent with him. He told me they removed a tumor from his brain that made him act violently and that now that they did that they were evaluating him for release, which was probably some kind of imagined thing due to what I know now, but who knows. Regardless it's really interesting to hear his story in depth. I just remember how uncomfortable other people were with me walking the block with him all day and talking about art with him and didn't really understand it so much. What a crazy sad life he had to live, it's really an injustice in and of itself. Thank you for making this podcast or whatever it's called.

This was absolutely fascinating, thanks again Jeff I found this particularly extremely interesting

Very excited for this one. Haven't started watching and you've probably already read it however if you haven't, The Hot House about Leavenworth prison is beyond intense. Tommy was interviewed by Pete Early after the murder of Mr. Klutts. The Cuban's starting riots everyday was also fascinating to read about. Thank you for your hard work. Edit: HAHAHAHA. At 3:30 and guess who I see. You are so much further ahead of me Jeff. Much love and respect good sir

People, if you HAVENT read The Hot House, by Pete Early, you must! One of the most fascinating books I've ever read, and the story is so engrossing you will be tired the next day from reading all night!!!❤

Hell ya! I’ve been craving some aryan brotherhood stuff lately!!! Thanks Jeff

Your doing really good bro,. I try not to miss any of the topics you pay out on here..History

Just finished reading Pete's book no human contact , brilliant read. Silverstien the true 1%

Great interview Jeff. Thank you. Great topic!!!! If people only knew.

Class interview bro 🙌 love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 👊

For some reason I would assume someone with the last name Silverstein wouldn't be too interested in joining an organization with the word "Aryan" in its name...

Thanks very much Jeff this was an excellent and very interesting conversation.

His treatment was absolute overkill. Simply a vendetta carried out by the so called justice system. The government treated him worse than those nice boys down in Gitmo.

Great interview as always. Kudos Nadu.

Also Pete Early wrote the book about the Johnny Walker Spy Ring was fabulous.

fascinating stuff bro another great interview, Silverstein was treated worse than an animal. Its disgusting how the BOP treats inmates at times... We have a guy here in England that has been locked up in solitary confinement for over 40 years, His name is Charlie Bronson aka Charles Salvador.

I read hot house on my first term. It was cool reading about Leavenworth and the feds at that time.. very well written.

Key word, the Humanity. That is vital to any shape or form of respect and redemption. So so glad Pete mentioned that key learning point. Solitary is not the answer!

There's a lot of stuff to watch on KZfaq. This was good; really, really good.

Great stuff thank you , love from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Tommy was loved by many including me..your free now my brother

Great interview and guest Jeff💯👍

Sammy the bull says his parents were sturdy. No abuse no poverty.respect.🙏

Fascinating stuff and the AB is one serious gang......the.Hot House is the best book on Leavenworth, the AB and Tom Silverstein.

I visited Tommy at ADX I echo Pete Tommy was resilient and defiant. I have shared this video

A good interview Jeff was brilliant

The obv thing.with all prisons .is staff bring cell phones ..drugs in ....cos ..kitchen ..admin ..etc ..never addressed at all

Hell yeah!!! Great sit-down as always. Keep it up Jeff

Great video man. I was wondering if that stupid dog was going to live till the end. Lmao!

Having spent several decades in Canadian federal prisons I read everything I could get my hands on concerning everything regarding history but especially prison and the hot house is probably the best book ever written, Pete Earley hit the nail right on the head with his research but his access to Atlanta was unprecedented then and I am sure nobody has or will ever get as close as Pete got into the system. everything he says regarding prison life is on the mark as far as I'm concerned, granted I was never in the American system, but to get as close to Silverstein as he did is amazing, great interview Jeff I love how your research/interview technique is always unbiased and how non judgmental you always are with your work, irregardless who or what your subject is, thanks for shutting down the speculators and Bozos like you do on your podcasts, I recommend you read 10 men dead the story of the I.R.A. and the H blocks prison in Northern Ireland, R.I.P. Tom Silverstein a tortured soul, Thanks Jeff.

You do an excellent job as an interviewer, Jeff (much more polished and knowledgeable than some others I've seen.) Hope you can keep getting high-quality guests on your channel.

Love this sit down! Dope interview fellas. Big love from Baltimore Maryland, keep up the good work guys 💯

Man I saw as a family strong heart when I went in 17 years straight One thing I admire about Tom was his strength behind being locked down which I did a lot of. Release Tom I pray 🙏 one day He gave me power through my 17 year bid . 💪🛡️💯✝️😎

Great episode. Ive heard of silverstien befire this but this gave me way more insight on his life in the feds. If your intereted on other prisoners there is this guy named mark defriest how escaped prison a few times and has a crazy story, also an episode on 2015 escape at clinton prison in upper new york would be dope to.

Good lengthy show Jeff! The subject matter made a nice change too! 👍👍👍

My fav episode so far . This is my third play through

Bro you got to do a video on Bindy Johal, interesting story

I was in Marion Illinois Supermax penitentiary in 1981 to 1983 when they killed the two guards !

True accounts and very well written - Stories from the Old Yard by J.M. Fitzmaurice

Great interview

Great interview Jeff....interesting guy

Need step down programs and you need way more than aspirant fir 6 months. I lived 14 years in MD in out. Been out 10 years but just trying to figure a job path. I relied on selling drugs for everything. Onc3 the desire to use was gone my life dramatically has alowed

I had a friend who worked there and me and my dad got an 8 hour personal tour in 1996 I think it was.. and I seen silverstein.. he was under a building that was separated from the big prison. It literally under the building. Now I only seem him on a TV screen but I was in that building. And the guard personally told me they had turned off his hot water for 6 years!!!!!!! The guards hated him so bad he wouldn't even say a word to him. I watched him on that TV but all he did was sleep. The guard made us read the hot house before we could take the tour so I new who he was..I thought what they where doing was cruel as hell.... but yep I was right in that prison for a day. Nobody was locked down or anything. I was scared man really scared won't lie.. they even told me they wanted till it was a moonless night and then blindfolded him before they moved him in that room ..all so he couldn't see the night sky or the outside.. I thought it was sick. But they fucking hated him that bad

Weird observation: Why do dudes in jail pose for pictures while squatting down? The only time you ever see another dude pose like that is the JC Penney ads.. just saying…

Wow I was locked into every word, very interesting and so sad that a person went through that.

What prison in the United States allows the correctional officers to wear side arms ? He painted the narrative that only the bop doesn’t allow co’s to have side arms .

I did 5 years on a close security yard in ga I've been out over ten years but the time i did still effects me and how i deal people/problems ive never had the patience i always think someone is testing me or disrespectful...it gives you ptsd...😂😅😢😂😅

I read hot house. Excellent book

Great Jeff!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🔥

Great job Nadu!

Great show jeff

The BOP will change a man and the way he feels thinks and reacts

Just bought th silverstein and hot house book, based on this episode

There's a certain thing dofferent amounts/levels of homelessness does to your social skills when you re-enter the easier life too.

It's called the 80/20 rule. It applies to both sides. 80% good, 20% bad. This applies to the guards and inmates. People seem to be assuming that these guards were on the up and up. I had heard that there were reasons for this retaliation against the guards. It's called inside justice. Just keep that possibility in mind. Lots of skum bags on both sides of the fence. It's sad what some of these crappy guards get away with until someone takes action. If the admin doesn't do it, the political system internally will. Don't assume these guards are nice family loving men. That's a bad assumption. God Bless us all. 🙏🙏

I read the Hot House over 20 Years ago….Great Read

Really intriguing

I was distracted by Pete throwing various things at the dog. Wtf old man!

he like uk charlie bronson

Wow man the way the system is there ya minds is a prison in side a prison ... very interesting..

Great interview ...but that dog gots to go!

Aryan brotherhood motto was getting high and getting over

Ice cold

I'm trying to get through to you,can't

I can text,but when I try email I'm told it is invalid

SUB títulos para Latinoamérica 🎉

I have to disagree with your guest on him running any prison he could go to. Even in his prime I can't see him accomplishing that feet in Lawton or the Cut in MD. Or most level 5s in the state of NY. Just my opinion.respect!🙏

You need to bring hard intentions on

Just one stink'n Cop could'a given that kid a break. He was not bad.. He was "driven" Bad.

The fact that you say AB is not a racist. I question your beliefs now.

I knew Tommy, not great,we were in the control unit togather,used to talk through the toilets, I'm not why we went to court together, but I think it was to testify for me an Jimmy Swaving

Yu never say that he was hand cuffed when he got killed

Michael Thompson is doing fine...

Say Jeff I heard this guy tell u that he was institutionalized after only a year ? NO that isn’t going to happen maybe he picked up some good cleaning and prison mannerisms but if he says he’s institutionalized after one year he would have to had something done to him or seen it done too someone else so no he isn’t why would he say that after knowing that lieing and cheating or faking the funk is not tolerated listen if you come a neighborhood on the streets where murder happens just as much as living then u go to prison it’s all the same just a different location the game changes location but the game stay some Jeff you seem like your starting to get an idea a little bit on how the joint rolls I’m from LOS Angeles come from generational family of convicts heroin, gangs , drugs it was normal so all prison was is a place to learn new methods of crime there were no rehabilitation Especially the shu that’s a sad story in itself

The prison stinks and I remember it being white where he was.. but it was years ago. But I was there

My mates mates dad's cousins nephews freinds unties step dad's unties brothers dad knew Tommy 😊😊😊

That damn dog should have been shanked😂😂

Is he Cornfed?

❤😂❤

Let your guest talk Jesus Christ

I read The Hot House when I did time myself (I did 18 yrs straight, 8 first in solitary SMU), its one of the best prison books ever.

2 shots lol lots of people are lost shots ? Lol

No it’s very racist

I thought Gianni Russo was the toughest guy in prison

May Allah bless our man Tommy with the best in the heavens and on earth.
