Prison Experiences

[Weeden]

Has anyone actually gone to prison or heard of first-hand experiences inside of one? I'm not talking the local jail, I mean federal prison. How many of those myths (like getting it up the ass) are true and false? How does the society operate in there? Is there really as much male sexuality in there as in the movies?

A friend (well you could call him that) of my mother's was in state prison for 11 years. He told me a lot of stories. It's rough shit. The first couple of days he was in there this big black guy came up to him and said he was going to meet him in his cell later that night. Another guy came up to him, and said you know, he's going to come to your cell tonight, and he's going to fuck you in the ass. Do you want that? Hell no! Well, you gotta shank him then. The guy gave him a shank later that day, a 6" piece of metal. When they were in the yard, the black guy was lifting weights. He went up and stabbed him while he was lifting weights. The guards grabbed him and sent him to solitary. He never found out if the guy died or not, but he never saw him anymore.

Sounds like shit out of a movie I know.. I don't even know if I believe it all. But he's definitely got the scars to match.

I spent 13 months in the McConnell, Darrington, and Smith units in Texas on drug and weapons charges when I was younger. The rape myths are not fake but they are very rare. I don't mean to sound racist, but the rapes are pretty much committed by the mexicans. In Texas, the Whites and Blacks usually battle the Mexicans because there are so many. For the most part there is not to much sex shit going on, just fighting and violence. It was the craziest time in my life. Prison is not fun, it dosen't make you cool (American History X), and if you are white, be prepared to fight everyday for the first month you are there. Once people see that you are not going to ride for anyone the Down Woods will have your back and things will go alot smoother.

You got that right...I fought the first year in there but after I "proved" myself I was left alone. Prison is NOT nice....and Alabamas are so corrupted the Federal has taken over it now...hope my friends are faring better but I doubt it.

Are you a wood? Who did you roll with. I had a click of about 50 or so guys who stuck together 24/7. We were the DownWoods and were tight with the AB and Nazi Lowriders. (Anyone reading this who is thinking I am a racist has no idea what they are talking about, if you are a white boy, you roll with whites, no choice in that matter) The McConnell Unit I was in was a gladiator farm and a place that words can't even describe. I will say that I met some of the hardest, realist, most loyal motherfuckers I have ever come across in my life. I still keep in touch with a few guys doing long, long, bids. You?

i knew a guy who went to prison for armed robbery at a dairy queen, he locked the clerks in the freezer.

i didnt learn this, however, untill my mom and i went to portland to get his records for his ex wife, who was divorcing him at the time.

he had told me that he only KNEW that his friends were going to rob a GUN STORE. he told my sister that it was a mc donnalds.


his records unveild his lies to us.



anywyas... he said that it's bad in there, and some fucked up shit about not letting people cut in line at the caffeteria, because that meant they were gonna rape you? well he stabbed the guy who cut with a fork and landed solitary confinement. he didnt talk about much else that i recall.

I guess guy's in

I guess guy's in Portland are a little different than we are in Texas. Homosexuals in prison in Teaxs pretty much have open hits out on them and must be kept in AG-SEG for their entire stay so they aren't killed. And like I said, it's the Mexicans that run aroung fucking one another.

Yeah I have 2 friends I send money to every month and christmas boxes. You can believe this..when their release date gets here I will do anything I can to help them because they were always there for me..always! The true racists in the prison I was in was the blacks...I did my time in Julia Tutwiler for Women in Alabama...the food we had brought in was actually stamped "Not fit for human consumption" everyone thinks you got it made in there...sheesh what a myth. I saw things I will never be able to get out of my mind. Finding people dead in their beds..And you know Alabama still does not have a self defense law?? You could hardly breath in the summer months....froze in the winter so the weaker ones really did die....no medical care...I was on visitation with my Mom one weekend and out of all us visiting that day..they made my Mom leave to make room for more visitors..all black of course. Yeah I know what life is like in a prison. I had a violent crime so i wasn't eligible for any community programs and when I did go up for Parole one time I was protested...so I just EOS'd after my appeal and sentence reduction. There were gangs but I mainly stayed to myself except for a few tried and true friends...I had alot of time to pull and that was how I got through it...can you imagine getting a timesheet with nothing but zeros for your release date? I was so young and ignorant so I do try and tell people what it is really like in a STATE prison. The messed up thing was at my trial my husband actually testified about what he did to me..had the police and hospital reports on all my broken bones but guess what? I hurt one of their own and Alabama played hardball with me. I'm not proud of going to prison but it did make me who I am...It got so bad that my dad finally got with the prison commisioner and actually told him I better look the same when I come out as I looked when I went in. I always heard the mens prisons are worse...and I also that Texas is the toughest. True? Oh and yeah we were called peckerwoods,crackers,and nazis lol. Did you know that the majority of them could not even read? I never knew people were illiterate until they started asking me to read them their mail and write letters home for them...I even saw one young black girl get cut up literally because she went to visit her father and her bulldagger walked right into visitation and started cutting her...Did you see evil like that?

Prison is wild thats for sure. The guys a still talk to have alot of time still to go. One is serving a 65 year bid and the other has natural life.

The craziest thing I saw was a guy get hot-potted. Slashings were pretty common place as were stabbings. After a month of that they really aren't a big deal and I just chuckled at the poor bastard getting popped because you know they had to have done something really stupid. The nastiest thing I saw was some T.S. member get a hot-pot full of boiling snickers bar thrown all over his face. The chocolate cools really fast so when the paramedics peel off the chocolate, they pretty much peel off your face. The mexicans are also big fans of growing their fingernails really long and dipping them in the floor wax you can find occasionally.When they would scrath a guys face it gets really infected and scars for life. Not pretty.
