I've worked in corrections for 20 years as a CO. This guy told zero lies, he was telling my story.

@Worm Actually, you can't say that for sure. It sounds like he's really against drugs. Just because some guards bring in drugs doesn't mean they all do. I've had quite a few guys' stories on both sides - super interesting. They said having someone throw drugs over the fence or by drone is the most common way. No doubt is different everywhere, but between that and janitors, teachers, etc., there are plenty of other ways to score drugs. It's crazy.
There are success stories of people who spent time in prison. My daughter was a meth addict and got 3 years in Fed Prison and it was the best thing that could have happened. A CO took her under his wing and taught her to weld. She got out and got a job, then joined the union as an apprentice, journeyed out in 3 years and is a well respected welder. She is currently taking classes to become a welding inspector. It's been almost 10 years, and I couldn't be more proud of her. She would be a great interview! She has done and seen it all!

Waay diff society & public cant imagine or they wouldnt be let out early.

That’s absolutely true … California state prison is not prison any longer . It’s a total Fail but they got to make it sound and look good for the outsiders looking in.
I am 57 now and I worked at DVI Prison in the late 90's and also supervised CDCR inmates in the State fire service for 17 plus years. It was always a challenge and a lot of good life experience. I managed to get out and retire by 50 to do other life things.
I was hesitant to watch this episode, mainly because Im a black woman who grew up around the people he worked with. Boy did this interview carry my work day...he overcame these obstacles that many of us were burdened with. Some type of" fire" that not everyone is fortunate to experience was lit very early. Much respect to you. I do pray some type of grant comes your way so YOU can reach the youth. You have a respectable relatable demeanor and not racist or hateful. Definitely a realist and we need you out here 💯

Inmates work out all the time. CO's don't. Knowing that, I ran, lifted, and studied MMA. I never tried to bully an inmate. When I worked in the facility, I found that letting your 'yes be yes and your no be no' was the best way to go. Make a fair decision and stick with it. Speak with respect but be decisive and firm. Don't play favorites. Call out a manipulator when you see one. That's what kept me going. That said, I hated working behind the fence.

Yes, an X bf of mine was a CO, Im sure he has retired by now. He worked out as well because he told me sooooooo many COs were in bad shape, overweight, etc and when needing to do a take-down on someone strung out on drugs, you could get hurt. I used to tell him all the time how much I admired him for not bringing his work home with him. Neither of us did that, we both worked a lot of O.T., so our time was our time and no complaining about work. He used ton tell me all the time, "I'm just a paid babysitter for adults." I had a next-door-neighbor that worked with him, but different shift. He eventually got fired, crossed the line making "friendships" with inmates. The general public has no idea of that world inside the wire.

Understood! My old bf used to see an occaisonal x-inmate out in our community. There were always signs of both being happy to see each other. I felt very proud of him on those times, knowing how he kept things constant and real. He was a Pop Warner football coach. I probably dont need to say much more. He was a motivator and always tried to find something positive to say. And what was unreal is that he had a father that was never there for him, followed by an abusive stepfather. Lots of smiles, lots of handshakes back then. 😉

The very limited experiences he’s shared with me have spun my head. He did his time with his head down, stayed to himself, but not without seeing the most horrendous things. He’s the toughest human I’ve ever met, has been since he was a kid but he was mistaken for someone else and damn near died after being stabbed in the back with two forks coated in feces, piss, mucus.

Shout out from Newark NJ! I remember One of the most brutal murders happened in Rahway State Prison now East Jersey State Prison.. Black inmate named HASSAN DOSS picked up White Jewish inmate MR. BERNSTEIN over his head in the chowhall slammed him on the railing essentially breaking him in half after that dragged him to the coffee machine/steam valve and put him under it and turned the "Spigot" on and burned his face off and punched and kicked his head and stabbed his in his mouth/tounge with pencil and also grabbed his legs while face down and tried to SNAP Mr. Bernstein again in half and continued beating him.... Doss on the day of the killing was supposed to be considered for transfer to Secure Psychiatric facility for Treatment but that the killing took place instead before this meeting could occur.... Inmate HASSAN DOSS was subsequently sentenced to an Additional 50 years in Prison... Also Rahway was hone to Boxer Hurricane Carter and Carter was responsible for Saving the Warden in a brutal multiday/hour Riot!, plus Rahway state prison was also the HOME of the well known historic (Scared Straight Program) which helped young men and women children from making bad choices/committing crimes. This program has helped a massive amount of young kids over the decades when the program was first installed. But yeah CRAZY times and crazy things in prison... this was a great interview I like the guys straight forward no nonsense demeanor and funny blunt demeanor 😂😂😂😂💯

@@ToddyPhilly you the realist MF on this show who isn’t a homeless, unstable, or a poor raging addict.
He was keeping it real. I enjoyed this interview.
I grew up in the SE with a Christian, divorced, hardworking mom who finished her college degree in the 1980s after she began her degree in the 1950s before marrying my father. She was in the corporate insurance world and rose to pretty high levels. I had no doubt that she would beat the crap out of my brother and me with a stick or belt if we ever did anything wrong. Education was paramount to her; she made certain my brother and I both graduated from college. She took the church and neighborhood kids to the big city some weekends…to museums, the zoo/the large humane society there, plays, art exhibits and the symphony. A boy I grew up with told me once that one of these trips influenced him to go into science as a career. She wasn’t the loving, sweet, hugging, “listening to your troubles” type of mom, but she was a tiger if anyone tried to hurt us. Breakfast was always on the stove when we got up to go to school ( she had already left for work ), and we always had lunch and snack money….and bikes to ride. She never missed giving us birthday and Christmas presents. Dinner was always at 7:00 pm, and we were taught to respect our grandparents, elders, teachers, pastors, neighbors. She even fed the neighborhood kids sometimes, and the stray cat who lived in the garage next door. And she was a single mom with two kids and a terrible ex who was always giving her trouble and never contributed a dime in the 60s and 70s when we grew up. One great parent CAN MAKE a difference. My brother owns his own business and is a multi millionaire. I taught public school, which I loved, for 35 years…to give back. My only child is an assistant prosecutor working to help victims of domestic violence and sex trafficking.

Im hoping after I finish my 20 I can talk to Mark and fill in some areas this gentlemen was not involved in as much and explain the real challenge of actually trying to rehabilitate inmates. He is 100 percent correct about communication being the most important skill to have. And instant gratification is something i talk with inmates in my class about all the time. Most have 0 self control and they only do what makes them happy at that moment and they don’t think or worry about consequences. Thats why the fear of prison doesn’t stop them or scare them.

@@brownbarrett6842 well, I can see what you’re saying, but usually if you’re a conservative (I’m guessing that’s what republicans are), your values tend to be more traditional. I’d be willing to bet there would be less broken relationships? I don’t want to get too political, if you know what I mean… All I’m saying is that children need to grow in a stable household, with a mom and dad who love them, especially the boys who need their father there for them as a role model. I think the best thing is to prevent people from going to jail. Todd himself said, the inmates don’t learn much there, if anything they get worse. So prevention is key, and it starts with stable families. Take care of yourself out there.
