Props to Dubs. New to his content. From New York, ex prisoner, 16 yrs, I can appreciate and relate to many of these experiences. Pleasure to observe quality material from dude rehabilitating self and progressively growing as a man, evolving, and now making that legit $$$ via social media. Let's SUPPORT these men with subs, likes, comments, shares, and possibly some donations for their time
My friend (joe hill) was killed in pelican bay last month. I knew joe since 14 I was 16 . we Bmx every where did bongs played Drums....but by 18-19 joe strayed away from us and started doing crime after crime. Joe had a good mom and did everything for him. Joe was in love with my sister which was the same age as he. We just can't believe the way he turned out.
Great break down on 'The Bay' I remember hearing all those same descriptions of that place too when it first opened up, stories were spreading like wildfire about it. Not a place I'd like to be housed at but my respects to those who made it out of there sane and healthy. Have a great day Dubs !!! CMR 100% Gracias
My home boy did six years in Pelican Bay SHU. He said that place is super ominous and dark. He swears that it is haunted and has several stories around it
Dubs, please consider making some more Pelican Bay videos. You've a natural talent for telling stories about your experiences. Its very interesting, thank you.
@Dubs Dubs...iam only 23 so I won't cap like I know everything about this thing we call life. Iam born and raised here ina Crenshaw District 8th Av & 63rd between Florence & Slauson, NH famn near my entire life homie. I listen to the older homies on my side talk about past situations with Raza. I see what we go through with (some) Eses, not all. I want to ask you why do you think we have these issues man? Just trying to educate myself from both sides. I like your channel. You seem fair. Keep grinding homie...much respect from-Infant Mike-Dog 6×10 wit an S ona end.
Vato the way you tell these stories. You have a certain way of speaking that gives the story a frightening tone almost like reading a horror story. Keep it up. The way you talked about Pelican Bay’s mystique gave me chills. Much respect bro.
I have similar Thoughts 😮! But NO Stephen King Story or Movie,NO Creepypasta etc can be half creepy Like The Storys Mr Dubs is telling US 😱! Ghosts,Vampires🦇etc are Not real but Dangerous Inmates ARE real!
Horror story alright! The world has so much to offer, and this all these dudes can see. What a messed up childhood you would have to go through to not be able to control yourself so much you would have to wind up in a place like that. When you could be sitting on a beach in Hawaii watching the sunset over the waves as a cool tropical breeze keeps your beer nice and frosty. Something to think about.
Thanks for sharing your stories with us! I know that had to have been some very hard time in that prison. Glad you're out and sharing your experiences of such an infamous prison. I'm new today to the channel so I'm gonna have to go back into the archives here and watch some more of your uploads.
Good content and stories. I did 8 years in the Bay and I agree with all the hardships endured. I don’t think about the past but look towards the future and not let prison define me.
My bf just found out he’s being transferred to Pelican Bay from reception. I started doing my research to learn more and I’m so glad I came across your video. Thank you for sharing and enlightening me.
Just subscribed and turned them notifications on! I love your energy & aura loco all the way from Texas , been free for 3 years now only did 3 years in TDC 7 months in county and the rest in the pen , I can tell your a genuine soldier who’s been through hell and back and stands tall after it all. I love seeing a brother overcome that life and turn it into positivity for anybody who’s watching and living that life that’s not what you want to go through but someone has to live to tell the story & I admire your way of doing it 💪🏼
As a youngster I remember a few older guys hanging out at parties and hanging out talking about PB , and me and my knuckle head friends thinking it was so cool - now the thought of it terrifies me as a grown man. Not sure what I was doing hanging out with people who were at that place and thank god i avoided that wreck that would put me in that world.I also remember studying their tattoos and later in life knowing not what tattoos to get as a square lol
I thought you couldn't get out once sent there? I'm glad you are doing well ❤ I have an old friend who was in and out for decades. Last term was 15 years and he cried when he couldn't figure out the microwave. It's definitely a life sentence while out as well 😢
I appreciate you sharing your life experiences with us. I admire how you carry yourself with the utmost respect. It’s something that people can look up to. I hope to see your channel grow more as time goes on. Respect, raza.
Listening to your life stories i can strongly sense that God has been with you. U know wisdom comes from God they say, and dubs you have an extreme amount of wisdom
Big salute 🫡 to Dubz , Imagine if they allowed books for engineering or physics , or anything for learning , those guys in the SHU , could probably design a space ship , real talk , the waste of talent is tragic .
RESPECT, I COULD RELATE TO WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT WALKING THE YARDA. YOU COULD FEEL DEATH ☠️ ALL AROUND YOU. I'M 63Yrs OLD. I'M A FORMER COMBAT MARINE VETERAN. I STARTED DOING TIME KIND OF LATE IN LIFE. I WAS ABOUT 30Yrs AFTER 10Yrs IN THE USMC HAD A E# AND BB# SINCE I GOT OUT IN 2008 BY THE GRACE OF GOD ALMIGHTY, I HAVE A LIFE TO LIVE IN PEACE AND ALL THIS IS THANKS TO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR POSTS N KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DOING.MAY GOD BLESS YOU N KEEP YOU IN HIS LOVING CARE.
Pelican bay is not in the middle of the Redwoods, but it is very close. It’s very nice around there. It’s in between Crescent City and Brookings Oregon. Very close to the beach.
Homie… it is surrounded by redwoods… look up aerial pictures of pelican bay… a lot of vatos get sick on the bus ride from looking at all them big ass trees zooming by. Motion sickness.
@adamdahlberg4403 That's dope for the inmates, but so so so f**ked up for the dogs! They gotta live in the cell?! Only 90min outside the cell per day? That's cruel. For both human & dog.
ADX is similar they say. No cellies there though. Just a quick question if you may speak on this some time. It's been mentioned that in the SHU you locked in your cell most of the day and you get a short one hour yard/shower. So then how do enemies get at each other. If someone makes too much noise on the pod let's assume, how is this handled? Thanks for the content
He said in another video that they shoot spears through the doors. They have holes on the metal doors. He also said that back in the day they got yard time but only one person in the cell could go at a time so they took turns.
Im drivin my truck at work an when you said how your cellie put his hands on his hips an said "pelican bay" i started crackin up an dropped my cigarette out the window 😂😂😂 i love dubs an gunn you some funny vatos 😂😂
Glad you survived and made it out. I have seen someone that was once an inmate at a meeting. It's a nightmare I am sure as is all the rest, the devil's playground.
In Florida we had, Florida State Prison(FSP), and Union Correctional Institution (UCI). UCI has since been torn down, i believe. But, those two prisons were different. I transported dudes to UCI numerous times. Been down to death row twice at FSP. Back in the day, those two places were where the convicts were at, unless, they were programming, getting short to the house, or had some sort of akill that was needed at another institution.
I like these stories call me negative but I enjoy hearing these stories . It's good to hear the bad . As I was telling Beaver when he did his interview on La Negras Podcast alot of people wanna tell legends and embellish a little
Allot of people don't know the difference between jail and prison . It has never been a part of most people's life , or I should say many people's life so it has no bearing . I was not so lucky but that's on me 😊
I just got out of lock down in 915. Here it's about respect and respecting veteranos and understanding that that's their home your just a guest. "Dale shine" no responde no yes sir, it's implicit that you fly as an eagle and make the veteranos proud of what you learned by watching them. They fought the front lines and understanding that no matter how hard you try you can never sacrifice as hard as they did never. Any car any gang we are one united against the pussyfooted that smirks when you can't figure out how to call your lawyer. There is power in respect. Numbers....the 4th book of Moses. We all get stuck in the 3rd act Leviticus...Moses meant that as comic relief.
In Texas we got 5 Pelican Bays. The only difference is the yard. We got cages but the showers are in the cell and 5 times a week they short staffed. No rec cage. No nothing
@@josephjacquet3772 5 times a week no rec? One thing about out here, we know the laws. You vatos in Texas are protected under the 6th Amendment of the United States Constitution. Denial of yard for 5 days a week on a regular basis is a violation of the 6th Amendment protection against Cruel & Unusual Punishment. Next, you guys got 5 pelican bays?! Do you mean 5 shus? We have 3 shus, but only 1 Bay. Theres nothing like it.
Kid from crescent city, Brookings, smith river area my mind was always blown that this place was a stones throw away. Lots of friends parents worked there and had crazy stories
Been there. All facts. I paroled from A-Yard in 2019. I was in SHU as well for 2 years c-10 c-8 c-4...and I did my last 3½ years on Ayard until like I said paroled 2019
I think what he meant was that in those days if you were a validated gang member, You were gonna stay in solitary confinement indefinitely. A lawsuit happened and they can’t do that anymore so they let all validated inmates out. It’s still open and they still have the shu it just can’t be a permanent stay.
I noticed multiple prison youtubers talk about what a waste watching tv is in prison, it seems like in prison you see first hand and very clearly that TV is garbage propaganda.
Twelve years before the OJ Simpson verdict in 1994, Alan Dershowitz in his book, The Best Defense (1982), chronicled the key rules of the justice game: Rule I: Almost all criminal defendants are, in fact, guilty. Rule II: All criminal defense lawyers, prosecutors and judges understand and believe Rule I. Rule III: It is easier to convict guilty defendants by violating the Constitution than by complying with it, and in some cases it is impossible to convict guilty defendants without violating the Constitution. Rule IV: Almost all police lie about whether they violated the Constitution in order to convict guilty defendants. Rule V: All prosecutors, judges, and defense attorneys are aware of Rule IV. Rule VI: Many prosecutors implicitly encourage police to lie about whether they violated the Constitution in order to convict guilty defendants. Rule VII: All judges are aware of Rule VI. Rule VIII: Most trial judges pretend to believe police officers who they know are lying. Rule IX: All appellate judges are aware of Rule VIII, yet many pretend to believe the trial judges who pretend to believe the lying police officers. Rule X: Most judges disbelieve defendants about whether their constitutional rights have been violated, even if they are telling the truth. Rule XI: Most judges and prosecutors would not knowingly convict a defendant who they believe to be innocent of the crime charged (or a closely related crime). Rule XII: Rule XI does not apply to members of organized crime, drug dealers, career criminals, or potential informers. Rule XIII: Nobody really wants justice. 1 Alan M. Dershowitz, The Best Defense (New York: Random House, 1982), xxi-xxii. We gratefully acknowledgement Random House for permission to reprint. Copyright OUP 2013 But, justice is all that the public is allowed to seek, legally, unless they want to find themselves subject to these 13 rules. What it all boils down to, is the people that we promote for law enforcement at the street level, have the ability to place anyone they choose on the conveyor belt of American justice. And the constitution be damned. Online criminal justice degrees are cheap, convenient and heavily discounted to armed services veterans. Once again, the wrong people are Law and order proponents point to the fact that we all can hire a lawyer of our choice and defend ourselves. What’s the problem? It’s not the laws themselves (theses truths that we find self evident), but the their application (the judges) that void our civil rights. Just about anybody (everybody?) that needs legal representation can’t afford it. My bail for leaving my mother’s house messy during construction was over $200,000. That’s a $20,000 (10% bond premium) fine, just for getting arrested. You can’t get that back, even with a not guilty verdict. That money would come in handy for an attorney retainer. Try hiring a lawyer with no money or property assets - you get what you pay for. There is a tremendous difference between ambitious lawyer and a compassionate sociologist working within the government welfare system. There are no compassionate attorneys that will work for nothing. The public defenders are absolutely worthless, they don’t even function as reliable messengers of the DAs office. I could not get my public defenders to even let me see the charges leveled against me in two felony trials.
Man, I remember how u would get dizzy when u walked the corridor on ur way to medical, committee, or visit. Cause ur eyes weren't used to seeing far anymore. It's crazy...
I was there 2001 -2003 c1 c4 as a youngster ..i remember it being cold asf quiet asf the rain always talking thru the drains the big ass library book to pick wat you wanted to read all your canteen either came in cups or paper bags making a lil handball outa rubber bands from the boxers...everybody was respectful tho...if none yur people were in the pod when you drove up the other races enemys or not all came to your door introduced them selfs let you know were your ppl were slid you wat you needed till you got your property...real respectful..you knew you were around REAL mfers by the way everybody carried theyself
I HAVE WATCHED AND LIKED A TON OF YOUR VIDEOS COULD YOU PLEASE TALK ABOUT ANY TRAINING PROGRAMS THEY HAD IF ANY I THINK I REMEMBER YOU SAYING ONCE THERE WAS NOT REALLY ANY AVAILABLE IN YOUR SITUATION. THANKS FOR ANY REPLY IF YOU HAVE TIME
Buenos dias, Respetos de siempre ✌🏻😎 Just wanted to concur on the humor of the good old “How Pelican Bay is” line. I remember being told that same story when I was New Folsom Ad/Seg waiting on the chain about the mail, showers etc. I arrived in February of ‘91 and four years later we had received another bus load like they used to do every week. These youngsters pulled up in our pod in C-10 one evening and I was the tier tender but I didn’t come out the following morning because maintenance were supposed to come fix the ceiling lights that morning. They came in right after tray pick up and they had the motorized lift. It was apparent that these youngsters went back to their bunks because when the lift came in of course it sounded mechanical and then we heard in Spanish and in a panic like voice:” Get up! Here comes the showers!” And you know how it echoes in the pods, right? And the youngster that spoke did try not to be heard but the entire pod broke out in laughter! We had a blast with them throughout the day with that. In fact the Camarada that had told me that same fib ended up landing in the cell right next to me a year after I left him at Folsom. I thought I’d share this little memory with you and your subscribers. You have a great and blessed day, Sigue Adelante! Con Respetos Siempre 🙏🏽✌🏻😎✊🏼🇲🇽☝🏻Q-Vo!😉
I did time in a new Prison & we were like Fuq its cold here..... The OG said look around & you'll find out why. We were like huh🤨 We look around & all the guards were 400+lbs 0BESE... & still sweatin 😆😅😂🤣 OG said yeah new prison they couldn't find anyone in shape😆 They kept it @55-60⁰ there all yr around. But rumor was the colder it is less violence 🤷🏾♂️
Pelican Bay blue print came from a new prison in New Mexico in the 80’s. CDC sent a group of the planning and construction with custody staff to New Mexico. We opened in Nov 03 1989. I hit the five yards, A,B,C,D and E I was there for only about three years but going to other joints, CTF, PVSP, SVSP and agian at CTF. I like you the way you explain yourself. NO BULLSHIT. I got to know the heavies from all makes and models.
Its a trip how you mention paso robles thats where im from yo and i live out by that youth center ive known of a few attempted escapes that place though looked so miserabke tiny little buildings just dirt for days and hot in the summer
All prisons suck! RAZA NEEDS TO COME TOGETHER ONCE AND FOR ALL. ALL THAT SERIOUSNESS AND FALSE POLITICS HAS TO CHANGE. TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS BUT EVERYONE SHOULD REAP THE BENEFITS OF PUTTING IN WORK. DONT LET ANYONE GET HOOKED ON ANY TYPE OF DOPE FOR HIDDEN AGENDAS. BUILD A HOMIE AND SEE THE LOYALTY, BREAK A HOMIE AND SEE SELFISH EVIL MINDS.
Dubs, if you don’t mind me asking. If you were to get sent back, would your homies be upset with you for this whole RU-vid gig you got going? I know you haven’t been specific about what not and what not but honesty, would you be worried?
Man I don't know about other places in the U.S. but I've been in some of our roughest jails in different states in Australia and 1 stabbing would be enough to close the yard. It never ceases to amaze me that this country that puts out all this propaganda about democracy and freedom can have so little compassion for segments of their own population. I had a little chuckle when you talk about how annoying this dude is because when you're locked down with someone for a long time it's like a kind of madness can set in and you can start getting annoyed to the point of serious anger over the stupidist stuff. It seems to be universal that where the real heavy people are people have the most respect. People turn the T.V down after a certain time, use manners, look after each other. It's interesting listening to you share your experiences and comparing what is the same about how people behave in different places, I guess it's weird, even though California is obviously a heavier version of what I went through I can relate to a lot of the things you talk about in a way that I could never expect a lot of people to understand, anyway lost track of whatever I wanted to say but love hearing your insights, take care bro
Oralè Homeboy been watching you for a while and realized I wasn't subscribed this whole time which doesn't make sense cause I have subscribed before and you always pull up on my feed but it still said I wasn't... anyways homie I'm going to send you some better headphones carnal...you got a PO box or a way to shoot them or no? Edit: I am subbed now(again)
I been on a 3 day overlay from MoCo for a riot in JV @ Salas. I was 13. Paso is a different beast 23 hr lockdown and a 15 min phone call no more no less. It aint easy. Fast foward been lockdown plenty times since then. Now Im 32 and I dont have no regrets. Always blessed and striving. As a youngster I seen myself going to PB, but it never happened.
Did any guards ever show true humanity? As in maybe slide anyone some lunch they weren’t gonna finish? Just curious. It would be beyond me to watch humans suffer like that.
