Thought you was booked or something, man. We see you in a minute. But let's get to the show, man. Um, you know, you've been you've received a lot of flack because you've been saying some things about, you know, um your experiences in jail and and your experience in jail, your workout regiment, or your heart, or your err, or your, you know. Why do you think that jail breeds some of the most um I'll say when people people go to jail, their athletic ability and their and or their strength or their their you know, workout regiment is like nothing other compared to the people that's on the streets. Because you have nothing to do all day in jail.

SPEAKER_06

All day in jail is the groundhog day. And I hate keep using that, but it's the truth. You ever seen the movie Groundhog Day? The man woke up and every day was the same date that he continuously lived over and over again. When you're in prison or the penal system that I like to call it, that's what you would be faced with. The same thing every day. So if you're sentenced to 30 years in prison, you will be repeating the same actions as yesterday and the day before, and the day before that, and the day before that for 30 years straight.

SPEAKER_07

And so the muscles the muscles of your body, like your shoulders, your arms, your chest, and you know, your endurance increases because you're doing you're working, you're just working out every day. Nah, people take take days off. No, you don't have to do that. Arms a day, shoulders tomorrow, back. Oh, they do the same thing in prison.

SPEAKER_06

Okay, all right. They do the back day, shoulder day, leg day, tricep day, uh pec day. They do that, but it ain't no days off. You might have a person out here work out five days a week. Arms, legs, stomach, you know, but it's for five days.

SPEAKER_07

I do that when I go to the gym, I do the same work. I work, I work every, I do, I do shoulder back, chest, arm. I do I do that every day.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, everything, every day. So is it cow aesthetics or still? But make sure both mixture of both. Oh, mixture of both. That might be cool. I gotta look at a little fact check that a little bit, but I think that might be cool.

SPEAKER_07

But I I haven't really been I haven't really been doing like a lot of the burpees because you know Ramadan and you know, yeah, yeah, you can't. But and you can't. I got one more day. You can't. One more day for Shaw. You can't. I can't do what? Burpees. That's right again. No, no, no. You you you not right now. I don't do them right now because it takes too much energy. You can't. What you mean? You can't. You know what you can't mean? Yeah, I know what that means. You can't. You I can't do the same school. You you you you can you can't we already had this this play out of here and then you you huffing and puffing.

SPEAKER_06

Huffing and puffing what? Because you couldn't do it, or huffing and puffing because I couldn't do it. Let's get this correct.

SPEAKER_07

Huffing the puffing because you was mad because I kept, you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_06

Lagging, lagging in the back.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, lagging in the back. I gotta get honest. I'm not gonna, but you know, I wasn't that was that was months ago. But now, you know, Burby's been, you know, at an all-time high. Shout out to Empath, man, you know, for uh becoming a member. Shout out to you. That's my guy. Now, you know, these workout regiments, right? Mm-hmm. Because they you, you know, people go to jail and people uh get these workout regimens and so forth and so on. Is it true they took the weights out of the out of the jail?

SPEAKER_06

Yes, they took the weights damn near out of all uh federal facilities. Now, I don't know about state. I can only tell you about federal, because I did all my time federal. Um, they was coming to the yards where an incident may have happened at as far as a Melee, a riot or something like that. You know, that's what they call a melee in the feds. They don't call it a riot. They say it was a melee. It was just total chaos. And um, when something like that takes place on one of these compounds, compound meaning the institution that you're in, um they will back a U-Haul, vacant van, vacant truck, vacant something to carry the weights that's in the talked-about institution that won't have them no more. So they'll take them all out there, put all the weights, all the dumbbells, all the plates for the uh barbell. Uh they might just leave a couple pull-up bars and dip bars, and that's it. But other than that, anything to do with weights is no longer there.

SPEAKER_07

Wow. It's crazy. And shout out to uh, you know, J homie92. Once again, man, shout out to you, man. We appreciate you, man. You know, for coming through. Let's talk about this. You know, you get up probate, you get up parole tomorrow. Yes. Like, you know, where's your mind state at? Like, you know, like, you know, right now, everybody watching to see what you're gonna do. Some people are watching. I'm not just talking about people that's on the on the audience here. I'm talking about people that's around you. Family, friends. They may look, I mean, this boy going, he gonna go, he's going back. He's gonna mess it up, he's gonna mess it up.

SPEAKER_06

All right. Well, how do you what I gotta say about that? First of all, I want to give you two circumstances that I had prior to me getting off. The first one, I had a real conversation with a real good friend, brother of mine that came to me and said, listen, bro, you're ready to be off of probation. And this friend of mine's known me damn near 30 years, and he knows the lifestyle that I led. And that friend is you. You came to me and you said, Man, listen, man, just because you're off probation, I don't want you to recreate a false sense of bravado. I should put it, bravado. Like I could do anything, and I could I could catch a case because I could pay bell to get out. I won't have a detainer because I had parole. Um, you told me that. You told me that about two weeks ago. You remember that? Yeah. You came to me. I was a clear blue. I think we was doing something, breaking fast, something. We might have been talking about the families, and then you just cut right in. You know how you do. And um, today, I had a person call me. King Erner. Shout out, King Erner. King Earner. King Erna called me today, man. Honorable. And the same thing that you told me, without him knowing that you told me that, he told me that verbatim. Verbatim, me. And my nephew was in here today when he called me. He said, bro, so alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah means all praise due to God for the the audience that's watching that don't know what an Arabic term alhamdulillah means. It means all praise due to God. And um, and he said, Yeah, alhamdulillah that you're getting off probation, man. He's like, but now your journey starts. Yeah. I said, What you mean? I'm off probation. It ended. He was like, nah. Because he did federal time like me too. You know what I'm saying? It's one thing for you telling me and never been there, because you love my well-being and safety. Him telling me and been there. That went through this with them right go through. And it's not nothing going through, I'm stepping to a different stage of life. I'm a free man. I haven't been free man since what, 96, 95? Yeah. 1995, 96. You know, uh, not, you know, so it and I took that when he said it, it just amplified your words more because you was the first person to come at me. When he told me this, and he came at me and said, Yo, you ready? Get off, man. Don't create a false sense of bravado, like you can go out here. I did that, they locked my ass up. You know, I had to pay bell, I had to pay lawyers again, I had to go through preliminaries again, all this stuff that we up here and we give our audience at an alarming rate. This is the stuff that he told me. But when he's telling me, only thing I could think about is you. Like, damn, my homie came to me with this first. I mean, that only two people came at me since I let the knowledge out that I'm ready to be released from my imprisonment fully. You know, whether that was incarceration or whether that was uh supervised release, what I'm on right now. And I was thinking, like, while I'm on the computer, I'm you know, I'm looking at clips to put up for y'all and stuff like that, you know, because we gotta edit our stuff and you know, make two-minute videos, three-minute videos, one-minute video, whatever it is, but I'm finding the best parts of the content that we may have done for that day to put out there when he called me. And I'm like, damn, man. And it just made me reflect on you more because you don't know about the convict lifestyle or being the inside. You've been to jail, you know, you had your little run-ins with the law, your little mishaps, but it was it was in and out. And that's not no, you know, you you was there. I'm not making that like whether it was small, large, you was there. Period. And I'm like, damn, when he told me that, your mind immediately popped up. Like, damn, my man just told me the same thing. You know what I'm saying? Like a damn King Earn is my man. He's an honorable, respectable, you know, guy. If he ever crossed paths with you, you're gonna get nothing but what I just said to you. But you my brother, you my kin. You you mean you you a brother to me, so it's like, damn, this man just told me this, and my brother just told me that not even a week and a half ago. So it hit hard for me, man. Like, it might not hit nobody else hard in my in my predicament and hearing these things, but for me it did. And I'm like, wow. Like, dudes would actually want to see me win, man. Then when you got that support.

SPEAKER_07

That's support, that's support, V. That's support. Yes, for sure. Support's amazing. It's like we get we just got some support from uh Angel Sun 34. But um, it's like when you we uh thank you, thank you, Angel Sun 34. Appreciate you. Um when you when you when you uh get released off of probation, you know, it's like it's like riding the bike, but the training wheels come off. So now the training wheels is coming off, and now you gotta watch out for so much now because now you like you wanna now you start riding your bike. First you on the sidewalk, with training wheels on, train wheels come off, now you're riding the sidewalk. Now you next thing now you're in the street. Exactly. They gotta watch the cars and watch out, watch out for pedestrians, and the devil gonna be coming at you because you have some type of success. And ultimately, when you have some type of success, whatever it may be, you got a family, you got you know, you got a wife, you got a situation family, you got you got your um, you know, your business, you got your podcast, you got all these different things that are actually in play. And now what happens is the devil try to find a way to make the make the things that you have look as if it's not feasible. Not enough. Or yeah, exactly. Not enough. Like, yeah, man, I can take this move and make this move real quick, and I can do this, and I can do that. And and I I'm pretty sure the people who are watching or the people that have been have been supporting the podcast are gonna will be very, very upset. Probably just as much as you, if, or just as much as me, because people I'm believing I'm I'm I'm assuming people that watch this podcast have grown and and and and got a love for you like a brother, or I mean, like, you know. Exactly. So we have like a, you know, I get this is what I get from the people. I get like a family vibe. Family oriented. And a lot of people we a lot of people we haven't even met, but we the name. We're seen face to face. Oh yeah. So it's like, so they'll be looking at you like, dang, it's my guy, man. A lot of people might even send you money in jail if you was if you need the money on your books, but I don't want to say the word disappointment, but they will probably just feel bad or or feel like you sold yourself short in a way, not as to shame you, but to feel like, like, damn, you know, you had the potential. We see a lot of people who have potential to re reach certain heights, succumb to their vices or succumb to the whispers of the devil. So ultimately we have to, you know, gather around and rally around each other and continue the same regimen and keep keep focus. Because now it may be more difficulties that may come that you may not even expect. Like you see, like I got punched in the face, not physically, but the worst things that happen to you are like a punch. You know, the worst punch is what? The punch that what? That you don't see. So that's what I'm saying. That's how the devil works. He comes with you with stuff that you don't even see coming. You know what I'm saying? I agree to that. And then you got it's all about how you how you would how you adapt to it, you know. You gotta you gotta just gotta be able to adjust and understand that this is a there's a bigger, bigger prize for you if you just stay firm, stay focused, stay out of trouble. Because, you know, people are really rotting on you. You got a whole audience that need this therapy, need you to talk about your pain. The young, you see young boys in the streets ready to come up to you, yo man, why I do this. You hear you see you hear the phone calls that's coming in. You hear so much, so many people are just are gravitating towards you and which you or the platform, you know, because you provide them with advice, and we don't really understand how big of a piece we are to a puzzle until that piece is taken off the table. So you gotta really, really, really take that consider into consideration. Then most importantly, just yourself. Right. You you have all the potential in the world. I tell you all the time, you know, this is my opinion, you know, and I'm just honest. Like, people want to hear you talk. Because it's real, it's real. Like, and this is who you are. It's not fake, it's not scripted, it's not anything like that. We just sit up here talking how we riding the cars now. Come here, we arguing to you telling me that I'm that I'm this and I'm that. We're riding here and we having the same general conversation. You cussing me out, and I'm saying let's ride, let's listen to you, this whatever. And you saying with your this is this is just how it is with me and you. This is not fake, it's not something that we put together. So automatically, you know, when real real recognize real and our audience is real, bro. We got a real audience. We had a real group of people that listen to us consistently because it's real, it's not fake, it's not caddy where we're speaking about other people's business, we giving them straight facts, and then people out here, people are counting on you. I'm counting on you to do the right thing. You know, because of you know, not for me, you know, because you're my man, I only need nothing from you. I want to see you shine. I'm waiting for the time when, you know, you are able to man when you could call and say, nigga, I need 50,000 for this bill and I ain't got it. I say, nigga, take a hundred. Yeah, that too.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, but you go ahead and get to the gifts of it. Yeah, that. You understand me? You understand me. I ain't even gotta say nothing that you understand me. Because you know what the understand me is. So we ain't even gonna act crazy. Y'all know.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, so I can call you like, yo, let me get that. Let me hold that card, man.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, man, get take that car. I don't need that back.

SPEAKER_07

You know, and then you know, but you know, taking trips and seeing the world, these type of things come along with stay remaining focused, you know. And it's not always about the material things, but these things can be feasible, you know, if you stay focused, man. And just a peace of mind, not having to worry about having to, you know, you know, look over your shoulder or you know, wonder how you're gonna take care of your family. That's always always an amazing thing. But you know, that's what that. But tomorrow's a big day, man. It's a big day, man. We're gonna we're gonna celebrate. You're gonna have a good time, you know.

SPEAKER_06

I wanted to bring, I wanted to make this topic about the day, man, something that, you know, about, you know, because we always refer to prison because, you know, we put the message out there and we put the truth out there what's going on in prison because the things that we talk about is really going on. And if you want to substitute your life from society to prison, we want to let you know before you get there. So I want to make sure that you're fully aware and fully, thoroughly knowledgeable about what you're going into if you're breaking law and out there doing crazy stuff. So one thing I wanted to talk about today was another, as I talked about yesterday we breached on, but another uh, it is wrong, but another, but but but but another um give me as far as in if you're out there in society, something that you can get in society that you can't get in jail. And I don't promote smoking weed, smoking cigarettes, drinking, but as a part of society, as real life is going on at a Lorman rate, so we're not gonna duck around the subject like it's not going on because we don't want to talk about it. No, we're gonna address it. We're gonna address it and we're gonna talk about what's going on. Because a lot of things that people probably don't want to bring up on their platforms because they want to stay away from it. And again, I'm up here telling you first that smoking weed, drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, anything that can filthy your internal body is wrong for you. It's not a good thing at all. Now, behind that, I'm ready to say, and I don't like to say butt, but you know, because you know my mom taught me anything at the butt is bullshit, and I think she lied with that. But what I'm ready to say now is, okay, say you're a weed smoker. Say you smoke marijuana, they made that legal in this country. Some states, you know, they got marijuana coming in, they got the marijuana uh shops that you can, if you got a card, you can legally go buy. Okay, you could probably go in there and get you a$20 bag. Whatever you may buy,$20 bag,$50 bag,$100 bag,$200 bag, whatever it may be, you can go in one of these distribu the dispensaries and get that legitly and don't go to jail. Right? Now, in jail, I don't care how many dispensaries they got, how many legal joins they got, you can't have it. Can't have it at all. So now what that means is if it's there by so happenstance, if it's there by well, however it got there, just know you will be paying top, top, top, top, top, top, top, top, top dollar. Super top. I can't say top enough for you to understand where I'm coming from with it, but you will be paying top dollar. So for the guys that's going to jail that love the, you know, a little Mary Jane or these are the names we used to call it back in the day, Mary Jane, or you know, uh Margarita. You know, we want to talk cold or killer or chocolate, or whatever you want to call it. I'm speaking from old man terms, but you know how y'all, you know, the dro the green, the skunk, or however you want to call it. You know, in there. Oh man, I wish I could show you, man. I wish I I can't, I can't really demonstrate to y'all because y'all probably won't see it. Yeah, man. Y'all probably won't see it, but I would try. You know, I know y'all won't see it. You see this little lint that I'm ready to drop, y'all probably seen that just now. This little ball. It's a little ball, it's a little, it's nothing. This, this right here, I just dropped it, y'all. So pay attention close. That right there, which y'all see me drop, it for the ones that did see it. If you did see it, that's$50.$50 ball Jamal. If you didn't see it, it wasn't meant for you to see it, and guess what? It's still$50 ball Jamal, and you didn't see it. So, you know, that right there is taken from you at an alarming rate. Cigarette. A cigarette. For those who smoke cigarettes out here, and I'm not promoting cigarettes under any way, shape, form, or fashion. I'm just bringing to you, if this was a vice that you had out in society in the free world, when I say society, meaning the free world, if you go to that penal system, there is nothing on commissary. None. And let me tell you this, let me get even intricate into it. A whole cigarette, if you're lucky enough to come across a cigarette with a filter, you know what a filter is. The goddamn butt part, the butt that you smoke from. And then the extended tobacco product that's on it, that cigarette might cost you over a hundred dollars. Again, let me say that to y'all again for everybody that didn't hear me say it or may have thought that I was wrong or make misspoke. That cigarette may cost you over a hundred dollars in the Pinot system. A hundred dollars. A hundred dollars. Like people cut pieces of this. Pieces. You can cut a cigarette, Newport 100, into four different sections and make$30 a piece off of each four sections that you could cut. So then a piece is this big, you're rolling that up in something. It's nothing. Once you light it up, it's gone. So the people that's out here just join enjoying freedom and you know, you know, you got rights to smoke. Smoking is illegal. You know, I don't, I don't, I don't recommend you smoke because it gives you all types of cancer and stuff, health problems. But for the ones that do and they ain't listening to that, alright, cool. I I don't knock y'all leave or y'all do that. But if you committing crime out here and get caught, ooh, the tab that you gotta pay on that, I'll make you quit alone.

SPEAKER_07

Shout out to FAX 0057 for the uh donation. Appreciate you. Thank you so much, man. Um, so the thing about it is this though, you know, you know, once we always talk about the rules change once you get into jail, as far as you know, the the prices. The prices of things change. Because you're in a whole different world. Um and that it that's not only that's not only just for like stuff like that, like contraband, like cigarettes and marijuana. You know, commissary change. For people who who can't go to the store, if you can if you need commissary, you gotta pay a certain price, like you said, a noodles, a couple of noodles, uh honey bun, something like that. You know what I mean? The price changes, am I correct? Exactly.

SPEAKER_06

Um it goes up, it fluctuates. What happened when somebody left a honey bun on your bed? No, nobody left a honey bun on my bed. I told you that was a myth. I never heard of, I never heard about that, never seen that, only you know, heard about that in movies and stuff like that. Honey bun on your bed, I want some ass. Where are they doing that at? Like, where are they really doing that at? Like, that means you was wanting to get that ass up if a no if a person came to you like that. Okay. That that's not like so.

SPEAKER_07

That's not that's not like a normal, that's not a real thing. People don't know how to do that.

SPEAKER_06

No, man, product coming in your cell and you got a honey bun on your pillow nice and neat. No. I never, I'm not saying it's not a real thing. I never seen it, and I've been in there for over two decades. Okay.

SPEAKER_07

But that's the feds. Feds probably a little different in the state.

SPEAKER_06

Well, yeah, well, you'd probably sell, but you know, yeah. I would I would think that the feds would have it more because you have people from all over the world. So if this was a true stigma, why ain't nobody left a honey bun somewhere yet? Mm-hmm. You know what I'm saying? I haven't seen that yet. I haven't, you know.

SPEAKER_07

Now, the county, right? The county prison, right? Because you know, we were just talking about this the other day. You know, how radical it is now. Is those prices the same in the county or is it different upstate? Because you know, because you can't even smoke upstate, right?

SPEAKER_06

No, you can't smoke upstate. It's over with. But matter of fact, you can because they sell e-cigarettes or something like that, I heard. But that's not tobacco. But it is tobacco, it's got tobacco in it, got nicotine in it. Oh, it does, but the same thing as a vape. A vape is tobacco.

SPEAKER_07

But it why is it, why why is it much healthier than actual cigarettes?

SPEAKER_06

That's what they say. You're supposed. But they say, but but it's more harsher than a cigarette. That's what I hear too. But yeah, but they'd rather sell you the e-sigar.

SPEAKER_07

I guess I don't know. So why why do they prevent people from smoking? But they can they chew tobacco up there? No. But I thought you said something like they scrape it off the ground or something like that.

SPEAKER_06

Yes, that's from COs chewing tobacco and expelling it from their mouth. And a nigga might see a wob of it on the ground and go pick that shit up with some tissue and dry it out and then dry it out to its driest form and then smoke it. Is that a violation of catching anybody doing that? Yes, you they lock your ass up if they catch you stealing chew tobacco out in the yard and all that. They ain't supposed to, it's this a non-spoken facility.

SPEAKER_07

You going to jail, you go in a hole. And isn't that that contradiction? Because he walk around chewing a whole closet. They ain't supposed to be doing it.

SPEAKER_06

They on the grounds with it. That's why they bring the tobacco to chew tobacco. What does the tobacco do for them when they chew it? What does it do to them? The nicotine is coming out. So instead of getting it inhaling wise, they're getting it through like saliva. Nicotine, as long as the nicotine hit their body, it's cool. So what is it? What is it, provide like a relaxing, relaxing? Well, I smoked cigarettes.

SPEAKER_07

And um I say it's a relaxation, like you said. Wow. And that's I saw something where they get like these pockets in their jaw from chewing that tobacco. Pockets? Like a like it get it get bad, like it get like messy.

SPEAKER_06

Probably so because it's eating at your mouth and stuff. Eating at all the flesh in your mouth. Probably so. I would agree with that. Wow.

SPEAKER_07

Now, these COs, right? These people like that, right? They walk up to, because I didn't heard stories about like the the um the COs upstate. You know, and a lot of them be called Cajun more so than none. And they be sometimes be country boys or whatever you want to call it. And they are chewing tobacco and tobacco rather, and they and they chewing it, and then they're like spitting it on the ground, sometimes even spitting it on the inmates. Sometimes they get I ain't heard of that. The brother said it was in his face, and then he had to hear it.

SPEAKER_06

Probably if he's talking and screaming and they going at it, probably something came out of his mouth. But to actually conjure up the spit in an inmate face, I've never seen that. Okay. I never seen because they got a job to keep that's an automatic fire right there.

SPEAKER_07

Okay.

SPEAKER_06

This is how they feed. You you you're not allowed to go around and oppress people with your spit with salab from no. Like that's that's an automatic grounds for fire.

SPEAKER_07

But this just even with the tobacco, just like, it's like just pick it up off the ground. That just shows the the uh how just vicious prison is. People is scraping up someone else's chewed up food. Maybe not food, but tobacco.

SPEAKER_06

They're taking it, they're squeezing it dry inside a bunch of picket towels. The paper towel be wet. So once you squeeze it as dry as you can get, you'll put it in a fresh paper towel, like the little damp part that's left, and put it in the microwave for it to get that crunchy feel. For it to dry out, then it's like brittle. It's like regular tobacco, like to come out of a cigarette. So then you got it brittle and you put it all, and it don't hit you like actual um cigarette, but it hit you. It gives you like a because when you smoke a cigarette, you're looking for that dizziness. Because also a cigarette, a cigarette don't get you high, it just gives you like a rush. Yeah, dizzy? A quick rush, and you'll be like if me and you in the cell smoking a fresh one early in the morning, and we hurrying up, and I guess it's the sneaking involved and everything that add to the the the thrill of smoking it. So when you hitting that joint and I might pass it to you and go look out the door, I damn near stumble at the door. Shit. That joint had you dizzy, but that's what we the one you be like, woo! That's what I was looking for. Your fingers get the tingling, your feet get the tingling, your ass might get the tingling. Not on duty. But you know, boy, you the not on duty kid.

SPEAKER_07

You gotta be crazy. What? What are you talking about, man? See, this is this is why you can't get rid of the not on duty because he does stuff like that. You know what I'm saying? And that's like that's not cool. Because I said his ass got the jingling. You said tingling, not on duty. Oh, with tingling. What does that mean? Shit, numb.

SPEAKER_06

Numb, and it feels like it's going out. So you gotta slap the motherfucker. Oh, wake back up. You know what I mean? So it is what it is.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, you see. But these, these, these is the things going. So, but you but the marijuana aspect, like they're giving people those those small amounts of marijuana, and somebody might have like an ounce of marijuana in jail, right? The ounce. Yeah, more than that. And he's selling that, he, he, he give, he's gonna be rich. Yeah, damn near. If he don't get caught. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. He's selling uh$50 balls the size of an Eminem. And I ain't talking about the peanut Eminem. I'm talking about the regular Eminem. And people's calling home having a loved one sending$50 for that. Yes. Yo, man, I can't go to the store. They got all types of excuses and schemes. Yeah, they cut my commissary off. I got I got a write-up. Can you send$100 to this account right here? They're gonna get me stuff from the store. Whole time, the$100 going there because you owe him.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_07

My cuzz used to call me and tell me to send cash app. I said, I'm done doing that, man. He called me, yo, cash app. But I thought I can't do it because I don't know, I don't know what's going on. I don't, I didn't know what. Not saying he's a drug.

SPEAKER_06

See, but I don't be liking to tell you these stories because then you take them to heart and damn look, cuz ain't got nothing. No, it's not true. Cuz might need I've been stuck.

SPEAKER_07

He got money on his books to get food. That's it. All right, but that's cool. I'm not. I'm not sending no cash app to nobody. I said I'm not sending cash apps.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, to someone other than his book.

SPEAKER_07

Okay, okay. He wanted me to send cash apps and things that I said no.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, yeah, nine times out of ten of a man wants you to do that, he's doing something other than for himself. Yeah, so you know Oh, it might be for himself, but he's gotta pay to get it.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, so for me, I told him I'm not doing it no more. He understood, though. He's a good man. So he understood, but you know, he um he no longer gets those cash apps sent to send to these other people to, you know. So, and shout out to my cuz. He'd be home soon, I believe. He'd be home soon. Now, when when when when you're making these type of decisions, right, to go to jail and to be in prison, to, you know, to break law, and then you get placed with in these type of environments, you know, how fast do people people get dug into these type of situations where as though people are comfortable even giving them some contraband, like some drugs or some some tobacco? Do you have to be like into a uh in crowd in order to get this stuff in?

SPEAKER_06

No. Long as you got the money and you got the cash up to send, they trying to get that shit off the same way as the streets.

SPEAKER_07

The reason why I say that is because you got snitches too. It can be a snitch is buying copper from you. Yes, that's how it go.

SPEAKER_06

Most of the time, that's how it goes the former copy, this is what he got. And they come in three, four o'clock in the morning rating yourself, getting you up. It's the same way as the streets. They coming.

SPEAKER_07

SIS. Do some people trying to kind of do so, some people put their their product in it, like say me and you homies, it would probably make sense for us not to share cells. I mean, not to be in the same cell.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, but who we gonna be in the cell with? A DC nigga, you and there with a New York nigga, you don't know these niggas.

SPEAKER_07

I'm not thinking, I'm not, I'm just thinking. So if because because if the if people don't know that me and you is cool, right, like that. We we cool like that, but that people don't gotta know that we're cool like that, right? And if you're making a transaction serving somebody, and and you could be an informant, I would keep the keep the stuff myself while you do.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, yeah, well, a lot of people do that. Okay. We got a lot of people to do that, but still it'll still come back to you because for some like it's really hard to hide certain activities in the penal system because we're close knit. It ain't like we can, like, I could leave and out of here right now and go to North Philly, you go to West Philly. And I won't run into you unless we planned to meet up. Or if we seen such, like, I won't know your business.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

If we on the same unit, you know, whether you in another cell or not, whether you in another cell, I'm in another cell. When they open them doors up, we're gonna be kicking it. So they one thing leading never, damn, he always with the bull feek. But black always got it. But feek, I see him with big ass bags in there all the time. Feek must be giving that joint to him to get off. Even if you ain't doing it, you gonna get that rep.

SPEAKER_07

So that might come shake both of ourselves down. Yes. Three, four o'clock in the morning. Now that's the question. Do people like kind of swallow the swallow the stuff at night when they go to before they go to bed? No.

SPEAKER_06

And have it in their stomach? Motherfucker might put it in his ass at night. Not on duty. Yeah, but swallowing it at night, nah.

SPEAKER_07

The reason why I say you because you like you, you, you, you, if you gotta, then then you then you take them out in the morning, or whatever the case may be.

SPEAKER_06

Well, uh, what swallow it and then and then come out in the morning. Yeah, but you sleeping for six, seven hours, you're gonna digest that. You're gonna have to shit it out. That's what I'm saying. Oh, no, ain't nobody going through all that, man. Dude ain't doing none of that, but the only cavity he to tuck he's doing in that joint overnight is in the in his cheeks. He ain't thinking about swallowing them and wake up in the morning and then shit it out. Nah, that's a messy situation.

SPEAKER_07

So it's people who may have who maybe got themselves shook down, but they are they had they had so called cheek their way.

SPEAKER_06

Yes, and they got away with yes. It's a lot of people like that. Yes. Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_07

And when it's

SPEAKER_06

As you're heard, go to YouTube, from the jails, and become a member. We got an array of content that's coming out that you will be thoroughly entertained by. As you can see by the content that's previously been released, you're entertained by. It's only gonna get better. I'm telling you, there is only up to God. And we want to thank y'all for uh rocking with us, man, and listening to the awareness that we're bringing about prison life. So go to where again, bro. Go to YouTube at Tales in the Jails and become a member. YouTube at Tells in the Jails and please become a member.

SPEAKER_00

Expose your business to millions of potential consumers and clients. If no one knows who you are and you don't make any money, put your logo here. Add your business here. They say when you're green, you grow, but when you're ripe, you're rotten. That means those who aren't moving forward is standing still.

SPEAKER_07

Mark back only like you washed your hands, man.

SPEAKER_06

I just never had the napkin in my hand. Come on, man.

SPEAKER_07

That napkin dries up, yeah. It's a dry.

SPEAKER_06

How the napkin drop.

SPEAKER_07

Yo, man, I'm not. Yo, make sure we sanitize that mic right there. This boy went to the bathroom, came back out. You know what I mean? But yeah, so you know, these situations, like I said, we were talking about the person that you said the people sometimes sometimes cheek it at night because they know they got it and they and they don't want to um they don't want to get ran down on. So the the guards come in, what are you hearing when they when they when they come in? Do you hear them coming or do they creep up? They creep.

SPEAKER_06

They go as far as in crawling. They're crawling, because it's a network in jail. When guys is getting shook down, you got guys that be on a unit that be up all night long. That be asleep all day long. And when they be on the doors and they see some active activity, guards coming on, especially when you see SSS, they wear SIS, they wear a certain uniform. They don't wear the same uniforms as the regular guards. They got like black on, it's say SERP team on their little uniforms or whatever. Yeah. They a different entity. So when guys see that, you might got guys that state that's paid$20,$30,$40 a week to stay up all night, just to be on the door. See a guard come in, because they like to come turn the water off at 3, 4 in the morning, and then attack a cell. And when they turn the water off, meaning you can't flush your toilet. Because some dudes will jump up and go to the toilet and try to flush it real fast. And I told you about them toilets. You could cut somebody up and flush them. They're very strong industrial toilets. And when you got a guy that's up all night, you'll be waking out of your sleep, like, hey, hey, there's a bunch of police on the block. They're coming in, they ready running down with somebody's cell. Niggas be jumping right up. Oh my God. Pit cheeking it. But they ain't got it cheeked already, stuffing it down the toilet. The toilet don't work. They try to swallow it. But they still got two, three minutes of a here's start. Because someone alerted that the police is coming. You don't know whose cell they're going to. But if you're one of the ones with contrin, you're going to be automatically thinking, they come to my cell. Because you know you got their work. It's a different type of grind in there, bro. Are they stripping you neck? Like, are they making it?

SPEAKER_07

Yes, when they come in, you getting ten toes down. And you and yourself stand there, both no clothes on.

SPEAKER_06

But like this next to each other. Ah, ears. They make you, when they make you strip, when the feds make you strip, they strip your butt-ass naked. That ain't it when you butt naked. You think, yeah, I took everything off. You pass them your clothes. They check the clothes. No. It's a process, man. Hands up. Like this. They want to see the palms of your hands. Then they want to see the backs of them. Spread your fingers so they can tell that nothing is being held like motherfuckers be hiding little balloons with the finger. No, no, no, no. You're not doing none of that. Ears. They want to see you flap them. Mouth. They want you to pull that joint open and be like, ah, in and out. So if they wanted you to pull your mouth open, you can only imagine what they want you to do to that Nike suitcase. You know what I'm saying? You get to them nuts. They want to see volleyball. Back and forth. Hold the slab up and back and forth. That's what they want to see. And I know it sounds funny, or it may not sound funny, but this is what these people, and they in there. No, no, lift them a little bit higher. Higher. You in the joint. Like, damn, this hot nigga. That's how I play with them. What you want to see? What hold in anything with it? No, because you be mad now. You be frustrated. But this is the life that you gotta go through if you go through that penal system, yo. It's a different type of jump, man.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, yeah. That's crazy, man. That's crazy. So how long does that search last? Like 10 minutes, five minutes?

SPEAKER_06

Uh, when they do the search like that, they'll pull your celly out. They won't search you like that in front of your celly. They'll pull him out of the cell, search you like that. Then once they've done you, they'll take him back in the cell and search him like that.

SPEAKER_07

Oh, okay. So y'all not y'all not in front of each other standing.

SPEAKER_06

No, we'll be butt-necked together. Once they run in there, strip both of you niggas. So we sitting there, fly to fly, cheek to cheek. You see, you wanna laugh all the time. See, that's your problem. That's why I don't bring this stuff up.

SPEAKER_07

Oh my gosh. So automatically, like by that time, you hadn't had like two or three business kind of like just get with that, get whatever you got going. Yes. Yeah. So now y'all just sitting there like this, like.

SPEAKER_06

Sitting there, I keep looking at you. Me and you know what's going on in the cell.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

They don't. They're trying to find out. So say we is ones with it. They still ain't find it yet. I got the I'm I'm standing up like this. Because I want the I want the case all the way closed. I'm looking at you. We, we, we, we sitting there praying all types of prayers and whatever it is that we may be doing, trying to beat this shakedown. And beating the shakedown meaning them not finding nothing, and we can stay in population. Because if they do find something, you will be segregated to the special housing unit, which is the shoe.

SPEAKER_07

So y'all staying there now, if they don't find nothing, y'all good to go.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, they let you go. You know, they're not going to be able to do it. I seen that. They will. They have, they don't have to if they want to, but they will. So it could be a snitch on the block and then you don't even know. It's called a jailhouse informant. You got dudes in jail that didn't snitch on their case. And masked it, mad they missed the lick. Damn, I'm sitting here with that dub. I should have told on them niggas. So now while you're in jail, when you telling in jail, it's not to reduce your sentence. Because you only got to tell in court for that. To get a reduced, say if you was faced to if I was faced with 20, me and you both was co-defended, I tell on you, I get 10 years now instead of 20. So the compensation that they give you for jail, which is the compensation that they give you when you tell and you come to court and all that, they give you a sentence reduction. The compensation that you get in jail is luxury. You one of the ones that get to come out when the unit locked down. We all locked down, whole unit locked down. You sitting in the day room watching TV. But they making it like you gotta pass stuff out to the guys or whatever, but they letting you out all the time. You know what I'm saying? That's the only thing you tell, because you you can't tell in jail to go home. Unless the feds done got you to wear a wire on a motherfucker and they want to know about a case. That's the only way.

SPEAKER_07

That's normally like down FDC or something like that.

SPEAKER_06

But that can happen at your jail too. But like you say, it's normally down the FD, the the detention centers.

SPEAKER_07

So this person sitting down there eating the honey buns and watching TV with the mop in his hand, like he's working, but he's down there just chilling.

SPEAKER_01

Yes.

SPEAKER_07

Out of the cell. Yes. And he's a prime suspect. Like this boy, he's gotta be telling.

SPEAKER_06

Yes. Yes. A jailhouse rat. That's what they call him.

SPEAKER_07

Wow. Have you ever like uh found out uh uh who a jailhouse rat was? Um yeah. We found out a couple of them.

SPEAKER_06

Like, and you know, uh not to say that Philly is the best, but I never found out a Philly nigga being a jailhouse rat. It always be comes out that it'll be somebody else, like, yo, he was a jailhouse rat. But they usually get handled fast. Yeah? Yeah. They messing up the whole operation of just bidding. Regardless of a nigga may got marijuana or contraband. Oh, he he run around here and he's talking to everybody. He a bully. Next thing you know, they calling you to the office. Tall feet, come to the office, lieutenant office. You like, dang what? And they damn near with you, Talfe, man. We heard you about you bullying them New York niggas, or and I'm not saying he's bullying New York or DC. I'm just using the name. So I don't want nobody to get mad, then he ain't bullying no New York nigga. No, no, I'm not saying none of that. I'm just using the first city that came to my mind. Um, and they'll be like, yo, you can't be doing that, bro. You can't be up there just, you know, and you'll be like, well, damn, how the hell? Don't worry about how we know. But we know you up there running amok. And if something happened, you the first one we locking up in the sh the hole. So yeah. Wow.

SPEAKER_07

And this person, well, well, once once they let you back to the block, you would have made come back to the block. You know, someone somebody stinching on the block. Now, the the blocks, right? It's some blocks that run smooth with everybody on the block, cool. Yes. It's like, all right. A lot of blocks like that. And but what I'm saying, what I'm getting to is sometimes people don't want new people coming on the block because the block is already set up where it's those. Oh, yeah, you don't want no midfits on your block. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

No, niggas that can't follow the protocol. So niggas, that's like lightweight dry snitching, too. I ain't even gonna keep it, I'm gonna keep it real, man. And you have niggas that did it. Niggas that been in the hole for a bunch of stabbins or just catching wreck, wreck chasing, like the the crowd like to say now. And guys, because when you go to the hole, you don't necessarily come back to the unit that you left from. They'll send you somewhere wherever open bed is at on the compound. So say if you was on A11, you might come back to C22. That's a whole nother unit. But niggas up there know who you was before you went to the hole.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

They heard you was causing havoc over there on that unit, whatever it was that you was doing. So now you get a list of who coming out the hole that day. Counselors usually get a list and they'll go to their head orderly. They'll be like, yo, we got four dudes coming out the hole today, and four of them is coming on our unit. He'll go to list of the names. And now, whoever got this list, he'll go back to certain cars. Philly, DC, New York, and be like, yo, this is who all coming on our block today. One from Philly, one from DC, one from Chicago, one from New York. Like, what y'all feel about these dudes coming on the unit? And they'll say it was my a Philly dude that was crazy. The Philly dudes on that block, on the block that we're on might be all cool, older dudes trying to get their beard done and get home. They be like, oh no, that nigga can't come over here. That nigga be doing too much, man, and he's gonna have a block rock, but that's lightweight snitching. Like you either you lightweight letting the police know, man. Don't bring that nigga over here, he on all dog shit. Yeah. And I get them, they don't want to be around it, but keep your mouth shut. Stay from around him. But you're really lightweight telling on him. You ain't giving him a chance.

SPEAKER_07

Would you agree? Yeah, I agree. I agree, because you bite you basically just you count him out. You know. Now, when when you when the person so you don't ever want to be switched from from your old block, but you might just switch to a new block, and you may go to the yard and see all your old homies, your old cellar, and be like, dang. And you still hang with those people that you mean that you wasn't cool with on your old block. And sometimes you may find yourself being on their block. Can you go to somebody else's block? You you you're not allowed to do that?

SPEAKER_06

That's an out of out of balance shot. Like if you got a dictator as guard working the block that you came on, and he finds out that you on the block that it ain't supposed to be there, he can give you a write-up for that. Because you ain't supposed to be in nobody else's housing corridors but your own.

SPEAKER_07

So you can't you can't go like you my man, you on the whole C side, I'm on B side. I can't see. You can walk over there if you want.

SPEAKER_06

But it's out of it's called uh out of balance. That's an out of balance shit. So I can't come chilling yourself. No. No, you got a lot of guards that's there. You go to him like, yo, CO man, can I come see my man? Like, go ahead, man, don't start, no trouble. It's a lot of guards that let you do that. Oh, so I can I might get a guard and say you're cool and document. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Walk up to your cell.

SPEAKER_06

But if something happened, like say you got you and your man got the fucking nigga up, that guard gonna act like you never asked him or nothing. Like, I ain't know how, because you're not allowed to do that. Guard really breaking the law of he letting you come on his block and you don't live there. So he basically like us. He's trusting you. Don't do nothing crazy over here. You gonna, and if you do, he's gonna be like, man, I ain't he snuck on the block.

SPEAKER_07

So that's more charges to your write-up. So he's not trying to take the fall from you. But he like, yo, look, you can go over there, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_06

But like, yeah, don't do no crazy stuff. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. You got a guard, a lot of guards that do that.

SPEAKER_07

Now, and in the um, you said out of balance, what they call it again? Uh out of balance. So what is it, what's that right? Is that a is that a you said is that that's a shot, whether you sing to the whole or what? No, I don't, that's not a whole shot.

SPEAKER_06

That's that's like a two, that's like a 300 series. But then if you catch three, three, three hundred series within like a month range time, that's a whole, then you go to whole. So what's a 300 series, though? What is it? A 300 series is a weak write-up. It's like a write-up, like you disobeying an order, you talking back to the police. Some weak shit. And what does it consist of? It's a write-up. You can lose your commissary for 30 days, visits for 30 days. It's still a write-up. It's still a write-up, but it don't go against your a 300 series won't have you staying like take good time from you. Okay. Like 200 series and a 100 series shot, that's what's gonna take the good time. A 300 series is the lowest of crimes you commit in jail. Now, I mean you being a labourance, that's a low crime. All right, so a hundred series might be something. Like you don't gotta go to hold for a 300 series. All right, but a 200 and a hundred, you going to hold.

SPEAKER_07

All right, so 200, what it what what what is that? Like, describe something you have to do to get a 200 shot.

SPEAKER_06

Fight. A fighting shot is a 201. It's classified as 201, 201. That means fighting another person.

SPEAKER_07

Hmm. And what what is can what uh can lead you to get to get a hundred shot?

SPEAKER_06

Oh, knife, contraband, dirty yorn. You know what I'm saying? Uh you in the altercation with a police, physical. Like it gotta be some real series, escape. All these is 100 series shots. You know what I'm saying? You on a phone, you you know, you uh phone is a 100 series shot too. You three-way in and all that. Nah, nigga, get over here. Like, they not tolerating no 100 series, you're going straight to the hole. And you're losing good time if convicted on that write-up. And the shot, again, y'all, a shot s-h-o-t is the uh the the slang that we use for a write-up, a facility write-up, an incident report. That's what I should say.

SPEAKER_07

Now you get say say say you get out in 20 days, but you gotta do 30 days in a hole. Right? You listening? You said, say if I get out. Say you suppose say you I suppose to get out in 20 days, but 20 days, but they gave me 30 days in a hole. Do I do the whole 30 in the hole? No. You get out of what? Jail? Yeah, say I got 20 days to get out, but I got to do, they gave me 30 days in a hole.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, okay. Now, if you don't have no good time, you're getting out on that 20th day.

SPEAKER_07

Describe what good time means, because people may not know what that is.

SPEAKER_06

Good time is like, in the feds, say if they sentence you to 60 months. 60 months is five years. Five years exactly to the T. In the feds, the way the feds work, you're doing majority of your time. You see, they don't give you two numbers like the state. State might give you a 5 to 10, 6 to 12, 12 to 24. You mean uh 24 to 48. You mean doubling the time up? You know, this is your minimum, this is your max. No. The feds is more so 85% of the time that you get sentenced to you're doing. So if you get a five year sentence, you're gonna do about damn near four years off of that. Now, uh good time is the four years that you that you supposed to do, you can do the five. But the good time got you calculated, get you, got you uh, uh, got you uh, what's the word I'm looking for? Got your uh your projected release date as a year off. Because good time. But you can mess that all up and go all the way to the door. And when I can say go all the way to the door, I mean do your full sentence term, which was five years. So the more you mess up, the more they can take. 100 series shots is damn near like what? Uh 42 days good time, 48, damn near like a month and a half good time. So if you were supposed to go home March 1st, could say damn near June, if you catch a 100 series or a 200 series. And they could probably take it longer than that. You know what I'm saying? Like it'll mess up your halfway house date. Say if you was put it for a halfway house, and the halfway house grant you six months to be there. But you can't go to like another two months because you get your halfway house within like six months of you going to the door. So you got six months, the date came back. You got six months, you leave on this date, so you got six months halfway time. You catch a write-up and all that, that's give me all this halfway house time. So the six months that we was gonna have you sit in the halfway house, you gotta sit in jail now. We're taking that, you know, but instead of letting you come home 2028, we're still letting you come home 2027. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah, so I mean it's all a ploy to keep you in there for the whole term of your sentence if you can't follow uh the rules and regulations of the prison.

SPEAKER_07

Wow. Prison is a it's just a this is a whole different, it's breaking that down to me. It's like a whole, well, breaking that down to us. That's a whole, that's just a whole dislike.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, it's something to think about, bro. When you sit back and you're sitting yourself and you're in your car ride, you may be in the shower, or you may be in the den in your house, just, you know, whatever you're doing, man. But it's something to keep in mind because no one is empty from prison. Whether you're a law-abiding citizen, whether you're a criminal, whether you're out here doing whatever, no one is exempt, man. Like, you done had honest people that have been honest all their life, never had a rest, never been apprehended by the police search or nothing. Person breaking your house, but you licensed to carry. You got all rights in the world to knock his goddamn face in the dirt. But they still coming and apprehend you after that. Yeah. You're getting apprehended, you gotta go through the process. Was you licensed to carry? Was you gotta register gun? All right, we need to know this. All right, cool. You had all that, you was registered, you was licensed, but was this a permissible shooting? Then we gotta look into that and all that, you're gonna be held in jail while they sorting through all that. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So you gotta, you, it's, it's a slim, it's a slim slope for everyone. Just because you're not out there selling drugs don't mean you ain't liable to go to jail, man. It's a lot of people in jail that wasn't out there committing crime, man. You got a lot of army vets in there, nurses, doctors, dudes that never ever been around, no type of er, that I like to call it. And they in jail. Jail is for everybody.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah. How long did it take uh on average for somebody to get adjusted? Like once you leave FDC or whatever, and then make it up to upstate. How long do it take people?

SPEAKER_06

You keep asking me this question. I'm tired of you keep asking these same dumb ass questions. You gotta go home and come up with a whole new line of questions. How long do it take? I never asked that question, did I? Yes, you did. How long do you take to get adjusted in prison? By the time you come from FDC, you pretty much got your your etiquettes with you. An etiquette of prison. Because you're not down there for no three, four months. Okay. You're down there for at least a year or better, fighting your case, copping out on your case, or telling on a nigga. So now, but the FDC and the detention centers give you a false reality of doing time because the FDC, the detention center, is nothing like the jail that you will be designated to to go do your time that you were given.

SPEAKER_07

Okay.

SPEAKER_06

It's way more open, it's way more niggas, it's way more police. The FDC, but only so big. You know what I'm saying? It's a detention center. It's a pretrial jail. You're either passing through there going on transit, or you're there to fight your case to see if you win or go to jail. What was your uh your thoughts when you got up there? Wow. Commissary, vending machines, cigarettes. Upstate? I never went upstate. Well, we went Ray Brooke. Yes. They had vending machines in there? Yes. When I first went up there, it was vending machines. It was late night. Like they took all that. When I first went to the feds, I seen what they were talking about, club fed. When I first went to the feds, you would lock in on the weekends. Like the lock in time was 10.45. 1045 at night, 11 o'clock. Let's let's round that to the nearest dollar, which is 11. Everywhere, all FCIs, all lows, let lock in time was 10.45, 10.45 at night. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, you would get late night. You would lock in at the 1045, they'd do a count, let you out at 11.15 to 2.30 in the morning. 2.30 in the morning. But they took, as time went on, they started taking stuff. Niggas start making more wine. Niggas start stabbing more niggas. Niggas start knocking out more niggas. So when you do stuff like this, it's like, all right, y'all had a riot on the unit. The Mexicans was worth the first blacks. Okay, we had the whole facility locked down for about a month and a half, finding out all the corporators that particularness. And it's melee. Now, after we took everybody off the compound to the hole and shipped them to different jails, disciplinary transfers or whatever, it doesn't stop there. Because they want to send a broader, a broader message to the mass. Everybody that didn't have, that wasn't involved in this certain melee that caused the jail to be locked down. So now with that being said, so the message they want to send to the mass is, okay, yeah, y'all just had orange juice on commissary. We're no longer selling orange juice no more. We're discontinuing orange juice. And this is a high commodity. Orange juice, bro. Orange juice on something that's light as, you know, because we are in a free world, we probably not even think of orange juice. Oh, it ain't nothing. Go get an Everfresh. Go get uh tropical Pecan. Whatever it is, orange juice. We're talking about orange juice. But when you're in the jail, orange juice is like gold. And for them to say, yeah, we're discontinuing this item on commissary, you will never see orange juice again until you go home. And I love orange how much I love orange juice. Oh, I mean, not like me. Not like me. That's why I'm telling you about it. Because when they took it, boy, I was crying. Justin Timorak in this junk.

SPEAKER_07

Heavy. So let's get back to you. So you said you was like, wow, like, just because of the vendor machines, I would like what else? Huh? What else was it that had you like, wow? Like you said you saw the vendor machines. They had potato bread.

SPEAKER_06

Like you go buy loaves of bread, bagels. Like it was it was jail. Don't get me wrong. Like, it was jail. It was jail. You was locked up. You was away from your loved ones, your family, your girlfriend, whatever the case may be, because you're around or you're thrust around thousands of niggas that you don't know. Okay, cool. But in between all that, they had stuff that you can get that help you through the bed that you was that you obtained by going to court or whatever it was. So, like I said, like right now, on Common Day, they don't have orange juice. They don't have loaves of bread. I used to go buy potato bread. They used to sell bags of onions. Two dollars. The little teen ones. You could cook with your milks. Now they don't sell no onions. No bell peppers. Like my man finesse kind of said two times today. Yeah, I'm cooking with the chicken, I'm making uh cereal, no milk. That's how it is in there. They ain't got none of that going on in there. None of that. They took all that out, so it's now like you really doing hard time. They took the sugar off the commissary. You could not, you gotta go get the sugar packs that's sugar-free. You know what them type of packs is? The packs, but it's sugar, it's sugar-free, but it's like a synthetic sugar, a sugar that they made. Oh, oh, and gel.

SPEAKER_07

No, no, the the gel, the gel, what they bring it in. Like they used to have sugar there. Talking about the the what's called sugar. Um, not sugar, but it's um it's sweetener. It's sweetener, it's something, yeah, the little blue packs. That shit tastes like medicine. I forget what it's called. I put it in my, because I don't know I'm um Yeah, yeah, you like to talk about that, but I ain't listening to that shit. Yeah, you know how I would do that. But you know, so yeah, like it's called uh Dad, what is the name of that sugar called? Forget, man. Is it either blue or yellow?

SPEAKER_06

Maurice Haynes, I'm on parole tomorrow at 12 a.m. Parole tomorrow at 12 a.m. I am a free man. It feels like I'm just it feels like I'm just getting birthed in society as a grown man. You know how you birth, you an infant, you don't know nothing, you gotta be taught everything. But it's still, it feels like I'm actually being born tomorrow. Born with a whole clean slate. Now, granted, I got felonies against me. I can't go get my gun license, I can't do certain things and to a certain you know time fall off me, but I still feel like a uh a brand new a brand new man that's been presented to society.

Well, uh is that true? Well, um, this is black speaking to you right now. Um, the one that just currently did Hey, how you doing? Why come salam to Rai Betakastu? Um, I'm not too for sure if they get it out, but it's a myth in the jail about drinking the juice that they give out. The juice that they give out is supposed to have it in it. Have the soft peter and uh and like the juice that the administration, like when you go to Chow Hall, you get lunch and you get dinner, they have juice buckets that they make up. And they say whatever in the juice, it's the soft peter that takes away the man of vitality, like him getting erected or him. Yes, but I have heard that for years on end, but I don't know how true it is because I've never seen it to be a fact. But that's the gossip in the city. Well, no, no, not not at all.
