I did almost ten years in maximum security, and while I can respect a person for a philosophical stance on non-violence, in places like that, choosing not to engage in violence (more often than not) just creates an even more ripened culture of predation where you live. Bullies get encouraged and emboldened by their victims and the victims of others. An appropriate amount of force is oftentimes the prefect deterrence to a future of violence. You can't speak poetry to someone who isn't a poet-- when you meet a swordsman, draw your sword.

My brother is in and out of jail all his life, he told me if i ever end up in there, just be willing to fight. Don't matter if you win or lose, it's the fact that you WILL fight that matters.

Standing up for yourself is definitely so important in life too 🙌 well said

"I don't want to fight" well that's just too bad. The one thing I was often told by ex-cons was that if I ever found myself in prison, some lowlife maggot would try it on to steal my shit and that the entire prison would be watching. Doesn't matter whether one wins or loses, as long as one has a go standing up for himself. This story is a good example of what happens when you don't.

There are a lot of guys not built for prison but are constantly doing things that will eventually put them there.

This lesson is not just for prison, it applies to life in general. Prison has the same rules as the outside. People will exploit those who are weak.

The last thing you said is key… not EVERYTHING needs to turn into a fight… don’t go in there guns blazing either.. odds are there’s someone badder than you. Only fight if it’s disrespect- if you’re getting tested. I knew a dude from county who got sent to a sober living type of house in place of the joint…. He fucked up there and it followed him all the way to prison. I’ll be straight up. I was a soft white dude, and I could have had a real shitty time. I was from a nice area and just got mixed up with opiates, eventually landing me in prison for my first offence. Part of it was luck, part of it was the fact that there were soo many strung out suburban white Boys in the downtown (urban af) jail system in the late 2000’s… they were able to give me a crash course in what not to do real quick. A few things that saved my ass: I can draw. In fact I was a classically trained fine arts major (of course nobody fucking knew that- I had enough sense not to share that lol)… this is good because dudes always want to send drawings/cards to their loved ones on the outs… the shit they wanted was always retarded as fuck. Skulls, roses, big tiddied bitches… if you can draw that’s currency. Find a hustle. * also I can read and write proficiently… lots of dudes can’t. A few times I wrote letters for people, spell checked letters to judges, I even wrote a gay ass love letter for a dude to send to his girl trying to convince her to ride with him…. This is a fine line though- you don’t want to come off as a scholar nerd. Don’t speak the queens English, just casually be like “yeah I can read and write good” Second thing that was good for me- I straight up fucking hate juice. The apple juice, orange juice grape juice… fucking hate that Tropicana bullshit. Let me tell you something about black dudes: they fucking love juice, let me tell you another thing about black people: they hate milk. I love milk, I was trying to get in shape because I knew I had a bit ahead of me (more good advice- workout if you’re facing time… don’t be fuckin Rocky running up the chow tables, but lift some water bags)…. I traded my juice for milk every time, with one dude in particular… kind of think of it as building credit… every time you honour a deal your trust credit goes up- he wasn’t bullying me into trading or anything, but he was a big ass black dude. Basically we had business. Eventually we became cool (as cool as a white hipster first timer and a Blood could be). 3rd thing that helped me was being funny….. you gotta be really fucking careful with this. You gotta make sure you’re making dudes laugh at what you’re saying , not at you. You gotta know what’s too far, you can’t constantly be doing Jerry Seinfeld standup bits like “what’s the deal with these coffee cakes? They’re not coffee and they’re not cake!”…. But fuck man, if you can get the boys rolling then you’re good… you’re helping the time pass, which is what we all want at the end of the day- but use discretion: if a dude just got back from court and finds out he was denied probation and is shipping out, dudes probably not in the mood. But I had a few big dudes who I could clown with…. When new inmates come in and see you laughing with the boys they register you like “oh he’s got people, he’s must be chill”…. Don’t be a weirdo and hide in bed all day. You gotta mix with people, if you don’t fit in, make yourself fit in… I wasn’t talking about craft beers and nirvana when I was in there, you’re gonna have to be flexible. You need people for your own sanity, and if you’re a fckin mute it’s gonna make people uneasy or think you’re hiding something. Another quick tip: phone time is a bitch. When all the dudes rush for the phones, just chill if you can. If dudes are in line and you can wait for rush hour to end, just do it. Little things like that can just keep you removed from any potential issues. Again, this is if you’re trying to avoid conflict at all costs.., don’t inconvenience yourself, but stay out of chaos as much as you can. If you’re next in line for the phone and you’ve got a dude ahead of you who’s phone call ends and he immediately picks it back up and dials back, he’s saying “fuck you, my time is more valuable than yours… what’s good?”… do you want to fight in that instance? Technically you absolutely should, but you don’t want to. Just wait until the phones are free if you can. You have to be an anthropologist and casually conduct your own ethnographic research in your head. An anthropologist observes, adopts new customs, doesn’t question stuff/doesn’t push their views and customs. You need to embrace the experience and learn to push through. Every hard experience you go through makes you stronger… if you learn to embrace the struggle then there is no struggle. Your attitude is *Fucking Everything*… it’s literally all you have, besides some bags of milk and an old maxim magazine. Nobody can take away your mindset. Not the guards, not the kid banging on tables rapping at 4 am, not the fat dude snoring… remember that it will pass. You will see your family again. You will order a beer at a bar. You will get pussy again. Time is just time. The experience made me stronger and more resilient. I was always a good bullshitter and master manipulator. The experience is humbling because you’re not going to sweet talk your way out of time with a judge. Living in the bottom of the forgotten waste bin of society puts stuff in perspective. Learning gratitude for freedom is a beautiful thing. Today I’m on track to getting a PhD in Psychology, and you bet your ass my time in prison is an asset to me today. If you find a way to make the experience work for you then it’s a positive. The legal system is a goddamn disgrace- I realize I can’t fix it, but I’m going to try my best to help specifically young men so they don’t end up there. Society is falling, and it’s falling because values like integrity, honour and civility are falling … it’s falling because men are falling. Some of the best people I met will never see freedom again, and some of the shittiest people I know are driving to an office in a Mercedes. Learn to tame the reptile, primate brain and better yourself and you will better the world. Respectfully, 608-173

"Well...your math good, but that's the wrong answer." LOL

My best friend growing up went to prison at 17 years old for 5 years. After he came out. He has anger problems and wants to fight people over every little thing. It's sad

If you're not the "prison type" of person... avoid prison AT EVERY JUNCTION.

I feel like in Life you never let NO ONE put thier hands on you atlease thats how I was raised! You win some and you lose some but you live to tell another day! Anything is better then getting shot! Y'all Stay Humble.

"Whatchu want me to do??" "Grab a lock and hit him with it while he's on on the phone" 😂😂😂

had a conversation recently with my nephew about not letting people take stuff from you. He is 8, and wanted to bring a $100 toy to school. I told him "make sure nobody tries to take it from you. If someone asks to see it, make sure it's somebody you trust to give it back. If they try to take it, take it back." He was apprehensive and asked "did that ever happen to you?" i told him yes, and told him a story about when i was on a school trip and a kid from a different school tried to take my hat. I took it back and made it clear I'd fight to keep it. I told my nephew, "if you let one bad person take something from you, other bad people will see that and think THEY can take your stuff, too. You stop it the first time." He's a generous kid, but he has already stood up for himself a few times, just hasnt had THIS situation happen and i was trying to prepare him if somebody tried to steal his toy. Many parents say "tell a teacher", but honestly that's bad advice most of the time for a young boy.

ain't no fucking way I'm cut out for prison.

If you don’t fight, your own people will handle you because you didn’t handle an issue. Just get it done, win or lose, but you had the heart to just get it over with. No one faults you for losing, but they will treat you with absolute disrespect for not fighting.

You can say I'm corny but I just love these prison stories their art of survival is from a complete different world, Thanks man👌

I'm a small ass dude. 1 thing I learned in life. Be respectful, it goes a long way. Being like that doesn't show weakness nor strength just a pure acknowledgement of another human. Some don't understand this hidden law of life.

I didn't ever want to fight, but if you stand up for yourself, the first time... You will have alot more respect from everyone and have a smoother stay.

This is true, when my brother was in for 8 months, he had 5 months of peace and one day out of nowhere a new inmate tried stealing his lunch, so he had to fight. It can happen at any time

I’ve been working in Corrections for 12years. I’m a Sergeant now at the Facility I’m at now and I tell all the new Officers coming in to always treat the men and women that they are there to watch over and keep Security over to treat with respect. That doesn’t mean let them run over you or other Inmates in the unit. It means treat them how you would want to be treated, how you would want your family members treated, but by all means when it’s time do do your job I EXPECT AND DEMAND that YOU do your Job by the Policies and Procedures that are put in place. They are there to keep you out of Trouble with the law yourself and to maintain Order within the Facility. I also remind them that, yes there are people there that will never change and will always choose to do criminal activities, but there are some and a good bit that are there that made a bad decision and are paying their consequences for it. These people will be getting out one day and they could be on your neighborhood or even your neighbors. So don’t come to work trying to make enemies out of everyone because that is what you will get and your days on the job will be long and miserable!

My brother spent 42yrs in prison in CDCR classified GP/GP (gang profiled general pop) started lvl4 housing, ended lvl3 (both cell living). My brother is 6'9" 334lbs. He's never been in a single altercation in prison, not with inmates, not with staff. No one tried pressing on him (his size alone is a cautionary sign) no one tried pulling him into anything. Paroled out with 5yrs parole and a model inmate. I'm proud of my brother.

Bro in the video (the guy telling the story in parts) is a real one. Stand up dude. I can tell. Because he tried on several different occasions to help dude out and coach him into not having such a hard time in prison. Dudes biggest barrier in my opinion is fear or lack of desire to fight. I get it, I don't like confrontation myself. Extremely humble and laid back. However.. I understand that sometimes you have to fight. Ain't no choice. I mean you always have a choice but the results if u choose wrong can be worse then if you just took a black eye, bloody nose, whatever and got the fight over with. Shoot, you might even win lmao. Even if you scared. But win or lose, it's about respect. Dude in video really solid cuz he could have tried to ho dude around too being his own celly after the first time he saw he wouldn't fight. But he kept trying coach dude mistake after mistake when he didn't have to. Prison is a whole different beast with set of rules that I don't desire to experience. But even outside of prison, the common denominator I feel is standing up for yourself to be respected. In or out..

You gotta fight. Win, lose, or draw, you still gotta fight.

I hate bullies. I would have a field day with them and enjoy it. At 68 years old a Vietnam Veteran. I respect all a true gentleman and very old school but don't tolerate bullies. Much appreciated for all your great videos. God Bless you and family your a good man

Some prisoners are so miserable that they gotta torment someone just for being weaker. Very sad and inhumane

The moment the guy said "he ain't wanna fight" I got scared my damn self lol

That dude is talking about himself.

I did my 3 years in Louisiana so when you said “you might could let em take ya fruit cocktail” I went “yall had fuckin fruit??!!” 😂😂

Must admit haven't viewed one of your videos in about 3 months, but the algorithm brought this upon me. With that I first came across your channel roughly a couple years ago and you had roughly 30k subs. Now look at you. Very proud of guys like us who struggled and came out on top. Respect.

Enjoyed this story. I had a friend who was in for a while , he told me I would make it ok if I ever went. I would never want to find out. But if I did I would be fearful of catching another case inside for fighting or killing someone purposeful or accidentally. Much respect to the folks who can survive that world and get out to make a decent life.

"You can't be letting nobody steal your damn chicken paddy in prison, Man! Maybe the fruit cocktail, but not the damn chicken paddy"

People get so in there own head about how bad it’s going to be if they have to fight. It’s SO MUCH WORSE IN YOUR HEAD. Reality is you win some you lose some but if you carry yourself with some dignity and realize it could be a whole lot worse than some bumps and bruises. The real wisdom is knowing when you HAVE to fight and when you don’t.

my mate was a long time prison person he told us " if you fight in prison they will respect you"

Quick prison story: while being held for trial , I took in and looked after a 6foot tall guy with the mind of a 7yr old child . Made sure no one troubled him. 3moons later prison staff came and say to me "what's the best news I can give you right now " so I said " me getting out of prison right now " staff said " yep pack you shit your case got dropped"

Its the same thing outside of prison too... I have a daughter that was bullied throughout highschool but no fighting. Just mental bullying. She just started college and her roommate was trying to bully her and she told me about it. Her roommate was waking her up on purpose just so she couldn't sleep. My daughter is a pre-med student and doesn't sleep much anyways. Her roommate is going to be a teacher. So I told her she better stand up for herself otherwise it will only get worse in life. She finally said something to her roommate and put her in her place. Next thing I know the roommate was gone for 2 days spending nights somewhere else. That shit stopped right away. I'm proud of her because my daughter is kind and nice but I told her when people start shit you finish it. Now she has so much more confidence.

Guys who talk about jail like it's a night at the Holiday Inn just wanna go back

Oh man I'm so glad I'm not in prison anymore. Learned my lesson the first time I messed up. Been out almost 10 years and love being free.

A real man keeps himself out of prison. I've learned that..

Vid Is hilarious "your bunkie wants to fight you put him up to this" "nah, my advice was totally different" haha

You are the GOAT! You giving people out here that have no idea what prisons like. It ain’t no county jail. Keep on keeping on brother!

My old uncle did a good bit of his life in jail,his advice to me as a kid on going to jail was,,, if you can be bad enough to get in there,you should be bad enough to handle it in there!

I've always said in situations like these, it's not normal but it's the taking part that counts. In jail you have to earn respect and you still earn it even in defeat. You got to be seen to do something, anything or your ass is toast...

Step 1: don’t go to prison You’re welcome

Not the chicken pattie maneeee… lmao I died

I'm a short guy. And I'm not tough or anything but throughout my life whenever I have gotten bullied to the point of fighting or someone harassing mean. I have not backed from a fight.

This dude does a real good job of explaining the story

Very humbling goin into a fight you know you're gonna lose.

Im from Southern California, in association with the crips, however I was no die-hard member who started banging when i still had to be inside by the time street lights turned on. I did square things like work jobs, have girlfriends and hang with non affiliate friends at the beach. But at 27 I catch a case that I spend two years in county over to end up taking a nine-year deal which left me doing seven years in prison. Well the night of me catching the chain i was in a holding cell with a OG gangmember from a well known Compton set who was down from Prison on a family court case (he was also in a wheelchair). We got acquainted over the night and he told me some things that carried me all the way through my prison sentence and I will never forget to this day. He told me the first thing you need to know about prison is that every room you walk into theres somebody in there doesn't like you for some reason. And if you're going to survive you have to be on the lookout for these people and when they present themselves you don't back down or shy away from the issue. That doesn't mean go looking for that problem because the problem will present itself, just be ready when it comes. I ended up doing 7 years out of that 9 never going PC, never being considered a fish, or anything weak all because I had a set mind set of what I know I can't tolerate from any other individual inside that place.

The biggest lesson and advice I have learned that if you are one of these goes that doesn't "belong " in prison so to speak, like the ones that want to avoid it all and not fight etc. if you really want to avoid as much trouble as possible, the biggest lesson I and gotten from all the ones that actually served time, is Mind Your Own Business.. If Roomie had listened, and follow the guys advice, that stuff would not have started to happen, IT all started for him when he didn't mind his own business... for the most part,

You look like you're thriving after your release. Sending you love and light

6:46 “yo math good, but tht wass the wrong answer” 😂

I’m from Indiana and when people go into a cell to get it in what you don’t do is crowd around the cell 2. Keep staring that way 3.cheer someone on and 4. You better fight if you can’t and learn to get them hands right

When you're in jail, you CANT BE SOFT! Everyone is constantly sizing you up and down and if you show even one inch of fear, your ass is getting beat. Oh yeah, if you're going to jail for the first time DO NOT ACCEPT ANY GIFTS FROM ANYBODY!

Very true. A man have to stand for himself. Show no weakness in a place like this. If you think like a victim, you'll become one.

The biggest thing he did wrong was disrespect everyone. They told him not to sit, he sat. They told him not to watch fights, he watched fights…

I DID 2 years upstate Philly PA. Ain't had a single problem the whole time I was there. No fights, people paying others back, it was unreal.

"Maybe the fruit cup, but not the damn chicken patty" hahahahaha so good

Knowing too much is definitely making yourself a larger liability. Never thought about this scenario - Happy Friday!

The moral of the story is don't go to prison.

They need to get rid of jails and prisons. You murder someone you get the same thing done to you. Save us all the taxpayers money to house and feed these people and the criminal crap that goes on.

Just like in life. You either face the bully or they continue to bully you. I tried to "ignore the bully" in school. Eventually things got to the point where I was a constant target until one day in the 4th grade I snapped and brutalized a guy who laughed at me for being down about my grandfather dying of cancer. After that I was a ball of rage that took out his frustrations on everyone who ever tormented him. I was still occasionally targeted by bullies, but by this time by pain tolerance was at a level where a shot to the face simply pissed me off even further. One kid found out the hard way that I was done with his shit when I spun him around and sent him sailing across pavement. And that's been my creed for the last 30 years. "When someone gets in your way with malicious intent, crush them."

There is enough psychopaths and sociopaths in the real world...but if you're in a state prison, then that density is increased. You need to adjust your thinking and treat it like the animal world...it sucks but you need to have a quick jump to violence underneath your diplomatic side. You have to remember where you are and who you are locked up with. Great story and lesson...

I don’t remember if it was this guy doing the video who said it, cause there’s a handful of these guys I watch but one of them said he was new, went to his cell, and he knew someone wanted to fight him and was talking to his cellie about it and the cellie told this guy, “if you gonna fight for yourself , then we got your back. But on the other hand, if you don’t handle your business then there’s nothing I can do

Im from the Uk and never ever needed to Fight Keep your head down and do your Jail and you should be alright biggest rule dont get into Debt if uou cant pay for it.

This dude is 💯. Really good video for the younger guys thinking about that life. This man man gave damned good advice on every single subject. But sadly you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

My first time watching you and I liked what I saw. Being an alumni of the Florida department of corrections, I can relate to everything said in this video. Prison isn't for everyone, you find out real quick where you stand in a violent world.

Some prisoners don't understand, leave those quiet ones alone and do your own thing.

I think part of this too is that you gotta fight for what you want in life. If you just take what life gives you, it might be a raw deal.

I've been to prison myself and the advice you share with younger people is POWERFUL because I've seen the same things in Indiana

Bro when I first started watching I had only been to jail, hella times. I just did my first prison bid, came home like 3 months ago and am glad to see the channel growing and you doing good homie. Bless up

A man has to be a man regardless if your in, or if your out. A black eye is a badge of honor.

Do yall not see how sick this really is? People are not getting rehabilitated in prison. They come out worse an traumatized. There should be very little fighting even happening. The prison system needs to be fixed.

I had a situation where 18 yr old kid came in about 120 pounds. He had a guy trying to get them cheeks. He came to us for help. We told him stand up for himself and we’d back his play. He didn’t want to, I told him we aren’t going to stand up if you’re not willing to. Couple weeks later he was walking around like he was dudes old lady.

0:54 for some reason this inexplicable edit of you blowing smoke rings made me laugh

It's not about winning or losing a fight in prison .... It's about standing up for yourself ...

"Maybe the fruit cocktail, but not the damn chicken patty." LOL Facts

If you don't stand up for yourself when you get messed with, that mess is gonna keep getting worse, and harder to deal with when you finally do. This video made me remember something that happened in my life. Some 10-15 years back, this dude I grew up with moved to a spot in Oakland, CA. He's a Japanese cat, on the shorter/lighter side of the tape & scales. After he got settled, I went out to his spot to kick it. His crib wasn't in the worst part of town but it wasn't up in the hills either. When I got there we strolled down to the corner for some tall cans. On the way he tells me he got jumped by some kids in the hood. They smacked him around and took his wallet. He said we might might run into them. Now I ain't the biggest/toughest dude on the street, but I ain't the smallest/weakest cat on the block neither. I told him I'm down to scrap if that's what it is, but I'm not trying to take care of his problem for him. He was like, "You would mop those punks." I stopped walking right there to make sure I had his attention. I told him like this, "If we run into whoever and they give me a problem, I'm gonna handle MY problem one way or the other, but I don't gotta live here. I could roll out after and never come back, never see them again. You live here, and these kids live here too. No matter what happens if we see them while I'm here, yer gonna see them again without me. If we see them today, and you don't do nothin, it's gonna be worse for you next time you see them." He was like, "What am I supposed to do? I'm small and I can't fight." I said, " You're going to get your ass kicked anyway, so you might as well not rollover like a bitch, and give em a fight. There ain't no rules posted out here. It don't matter how you get down in a fight. You just gotta fight. Who knows? You might get lucky? If you don't stick up for yourself, you're a mark. You're easy pickins. Every time you see one of these kids they're gonna pocket check you cuz they can. Somehow, someway, you have to earn the respect you need to live out here. Otherwise pack your shit and find another place to live before they see you again. It's the same everywhere though. It don't matter where you are, everywhere is the same. If you rollover, there will always be someone more than happy to roll you." In the end, we didn't end up running into them. We grabbed our beers n hung out for a minute, then i bounced. I haven't seen him since. Talked to him a few times but that never came up. I know things are different than how it is in the pen. The principle remains the same though, and it's the same everywhere in life. Like I said at the top... If you don't stand up for yourself when you get messed with, that mess is gonna keep getting worse, and harder to deal with when you finally do.

We used to fight over chicken patties in elementary school, which is silly. But on the other hand, WE KNEW TO FIGHT for OUR CHICKEN PATTIES in elementary school.

Have any dreams dawg? Better give em up 💯 glad I stumbled across ya’ll man, yall spittin’ knowledge on these boys. Well done!!! Even God cant help those who can’t help themselves. He got a good stretch……. He better get right!!! Thank y’all again!!! 🇨🇱🤘🏻🤠🤘🏻

On part 4 his mustache finally fully grew in on bith sides 😂

I was in Richland and saw a kid get completely tormented and robbed by the heartless felons for not fighting smh it’s a rough grind in Ohio

I’ve never been in prison but I’ve worked blue collar with a lot of dudes who have been. And typically I try and chose the non violent resolution but some of these guys bring prison back with them. Got into a fight cause the guy saw I was trying to peacefully resolve and he wanted to pounce on what he perceived as weakness. Guy took a trip to the floor cause he didn’t know I had martial arts background and after that some of the other former convicts never tried to fuck with me again.

Matsqui institution Abbotsford BC Canada. I had a handicap cell without a handicap. The shower next to me and the cleaner job in Healthcare. Justice. Peace

The moral of the story is to try not to go to prison. I did soft time, but tbh it wasn't that bad for me. Don't be a creep.

Everyone should have(maybe even win) at least one fight in their life. It humbles you and teaches you a lot about yourself

Bro was tryin to help dude. "Hit him in the face with a lock while he on the phone." LMFAO

If you're going to prison and worried about if you're going to fight or not you're definitely not ready going to have a hard time.

I'm a Christian, Psalm 144 1 - Psalm 144 Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. Oct-dec is human sacrifice wish all the homies would tap into the gospels and understand the satanic movement. This is a prison planet Jesus Christ can only set us free.

i wish i woulda had a celly like this when i first went in. coulda saved me some broken ribs and a broken orbital lmfao. but i was 17. and fresh as a noodle.. i mean i was SO fkn fresh that when the judge sentenced me.. the entire courtroom said "AWWWW" dead serious lmao. i was cryin and shit. man that first jail visit was roughhh. but i learned ALLOT. and the next time i went in. i had no issues. well i had issues... but no issues like this

This is something I tried to explain to my family and girlfriend and stuff when I got out, you aren't really able to say no to a fight. You're better off fighting when someone disrespects you and getting beat up than choosing to look away and take it. Personally I didn't have to deal with it much, only got in 1 little scrap not much happened though, the fact that I worked out alot and made friends with alot of them probably helped, I made it pretty obvious that I was down to scrap if the wind blows that way and honestly that's all it really takes to not get fucked with.

"WELL YO MATH GOOD" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

“Naaa my advice to him was totally different” 😂😂😂 shit had me dying. Dam I needed that laugh. Thanks for that.

i did 18 days in LA County jail. Turned down a fight on my 15th day. Those last 3 days felt like an entire year in Hell

The guy telling the story sounds like a really solid dude, was trying to look out for his cell mate every step of the way

The cell usually beats you up more than the guy you're fighting

NEVER ride for someone, who won't ride for themselves, EVER!! if a problem comes your way inside, man just swing, even if u lose, ull be respected for atleast throwing them hands👌🏼

“Maybe the fruit cocktail but not the chicken patty “ 😂😂😂

I know a dude that was an undercover Fed and went into a State joint in PA on an operation. They found out he was undercover and when we was in the laundry room working, he was jumped by a bunch of dudes. So dude got pulled from the operation. Three days later the joint went into lockdown and a Spec Ops crew came in and took out every dude that was part of the hit that broke dude's arm including the on-duty. Lesson of the story - don't eff with the Feds, especially if that Fed Agency ends in an "A".

Well, all I can say is say NO to doing something which puts you in jail in the first place then you wouldn't have to fight to keep your chicken pattie. It takes real strength to do the right thing. For the most part we are our worst enemy, and learning how to respect yourself, and have self control is the first part of becoming a man.

Men of God and I'm talking REAL MEN, not the ones who claim to be God fearing but still not thinking or acting right can and HAVE survived prison without fighting. This situation is a kid that still wanted to live that life while also scared of fighting, which pretty much 80% of guys today that's why they don't want you to touch their guns. I try to live my life well but lord knows what can happen, my faith is God is above ALL and while I may not make it through without a scratch I'm not joining a gang inside as my protection. God makes things happen. So moral is, love your life well so you don't have to learn but if so it's time to change your life, find God and you'll learn like the rest of us who were once violent he will be with you.
