This guy is Over exaggerating, just a little bit.I worked in prisons in the 80s in Texas, the worst of the worst.It was nothing like how this guy is explaining it
He was respected and respectful because he understood and lived by the convict code to be respected by convicts you basically have to become one mentally Which is profound
Worked right across the street from CFCF for a couple years and catered to the LEO/MILITARY/first responders community around there and I used hear the craziest stories everyday
27 years as a NYS prison guard. Retired 10 years ago - this interview brought me back on the job. Funny how many prisons are almost exactly the same down to the block letters representing the worst blocks. I can relate to just about every story Michael told.
I actually work with Smitty at his “dream job”. He runs our boxing gym and is as real as it gets. Good dude, honest, humble, proud, and a funny MFer. But I wouldn’t want to fight him 😂. Great interview. See you tomorrow brother 😂.
I agree , as a former correction officer I too believe all police officers should have to spend a couple of years in corrections before policing. Gives a whole different prospective not to mention half or more would not make 1 month
The future cops should do at least 2-3 years as a prison guard and to start your police career you should be put in the cities first than work to your retirement in a small town.
I'm with you on the flying my man. The only planes I've been on is when I was being transported by the feds. I even told them I wasn't gettin' on the plane(for a few mins). I asked for something to make me sleep and everything... I got on the plane(twice with them), but never will I willingly. I understand how you feel!!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽! I Pa. Born and raised about an hour outside Philly. don’t fly either I flew to Memphis and my doctor prescribed me some zanex two on the flight down and two for the flight home! I can drive 14 16 hours but I won’t fly for 20 minutes
Oz one of the Best shows ever ! Beacher ADEBIZI SAID .ALL ways some one trying to murdure another inmate Nino Schibetta the best Italian gangster I have ever seen
Ian, I did an interview with Matt Cox back in 2022, and have since stated my own podcast. I work in Law Enforcement and would love to collaborate with you if that interests you. Please let me know if you see this.
After having student loans, I will say I have actually considered the fact, going to prison, I could get a degree. 📜 I have no record, but student 👩🎓 💸 loans tie you down anyways. I won’t do it, but I have honestly, considered going to prison for this reason. This is crazy that tuition prices has put an honest, no record individual considering this though just to defeat student loan debt & tuition. Crazy society is set up that way. Tuition is out of hand.
How about clean the prison up and the guards actually protect the weak. Half the corruption going on in prisons takes s place because the guards look the other way. If they can’t do their job for what ever reason, find another way to make a living. If it’s an animal house inside….. then it sounds like administrative and guard staff allowing this crap.
@@alexbanker9355 just waiting for the right one, to make it all worth it. Good reason to treat people right and be a good person. Many are out here like me.
Forgive this question if the answer should be obvious. Smitty said that someone had told him who had taken his cigarettes. Wasn’t that guy a snitch? Are there acceptable snitches or not, and how do you know the difference?
This guy seems genuine,but I can't help thinking back to that Sally Jessy show when everyone believed that Mafia cop scumbag lying his ass off and everyone thinking he was a hero... I hope I'm wrong because I do like this guy
800 pushups in 20 minutes? BS. I spent 9 years in Army combat arms, and there were a lot of PT studs…. back in the 90s, the max for pushups (to get 100 points) was 82 perfect pushups; i saw a person break the 85 pushups mark a few times. i never saw anyone ever break 100 . And we worked out 1 - 2 hours every day.
This guy wouldn't be doing that in a California prison being locked up is very depressing in the last thing you want is a guard joking around with you.. yeah I'm out!
