Drugs in prison

[@AntonioAlmeida-yr9rp]

Great story's, you brought back a lot of memories for me, I came home in 1992' and haven't been in ANY trouble since!!! I'll be 64 in a few god willing but the "Self imposed" Trauma we caused ourselves by our negative actions stay's with us for a lifetime, I live life like everyday is a gift, I stay humble and grateful and just really try to enjoy each and every day✊🙏 I think you're honesty about "that life" might deter some younger guys from making bad decisions and ending up like so many of us did in the past!!! KEEP BEING HONEST and TRUTHFUL, Much RESPECT🙏

[@dbcooper2756]

When doing searches I always thought the most frustrating one was K2. Whenever I found it there was always just a very tiny amount I couldn’t even weigh on the scale. Depending on the OIC I could sometimes send the inmate to AC but most of the time I was told not to bother with such a small amount. Rarely did I ever hear of anyone finding enough to weigh while it seemed like all of the inmates were smoking it all day long. We were responding to multiple twackouts every shift. One smaller inmate I remember picked up an insanely heavy locker and swung it around like a baseball bat during an excited delirium episode. His heart gave out while inmates and officers alike were trying to get him down to floor. I remember his badly broken arms being like jello while we were performing CPR.

[@JosephCrenzo]

I know that k2 is real popular in the system now because they can't detect it in urine tests, but at the same time they don't even know what they're smoking because k2 can be anything! I was released in 2013 and they were already doing it. I watched guys trip out, have attacks and fall on the floor thrashing around, I even saw a guy take his clothes off and start running around the prison naked. LOL

[@gfuentes8449]

k2/spice still huge in UK prisons as well near wandsworth prison the corner shops sell tiny tiny phones you could drone over or put up your ass

[@22CONSERVATIVEFELON]

If they wanted to stop the drugs, or at least 90% of them its not hard to do

[@22CONSERVATIVEFELON]

They can stop them if they really wanted

[@22CONSERVATIVEFELON]

This is very true

[@fitnessboost401]

I never did any prison time, but I enjoy your stories.

[@22CONSERVATIVEFELON]

Why thank you ever so much. I appreciate that. I'm working on another video that should be ready by later tonight or tomorrow. Hopefully you subscribe and follow along. Any questions feel free to ask.

Good evening or morning from Australia hope you're doing well im on the methadone program here after a serious motorcycle accident

[@22CONSERVATIVEFELON]

Thanks for saying hello. I've had a accident on my Harley as well, got smashed by a landscaping truck! It wasn't fun. Why would they put you on methadone after a bike accident? They usually put you on meth when trying to kick dope itself. I know the methadone helps, and if it's keeping you off other stuff then stick with it for now, but understand methadone can have bad effects on your bones and your body especially if taken over years. I was an addict most of my life but live 100% clean now. Think of this; we are on a ball of mud (yes, the earth is just a ball of rock and mud) and we are spinning at 1,100 miles an hour as we float through space, yet gravity keeps us on this planet. When we look up into the sky we are not looking into space, because we are floating through it along with millions of other planets. Nobody really knows when this started, how we got here, but we are here! My friend, no need to get high! Just think of that and it blows your mind!

[@serenityisbest]

Can you remember a time during your incarceration when you were in a situation that genuinely terrified you? I hope you’ll do more videos about stories you remember from Riker’s! Thank you…you’re so interesting to listen to!

[@22CONSERVATIVEFELON]

I have a video titled "Sing Sing Nightmare" where I elaborate on a man getting murdered about five feet away from me the first time I went outside into the recreational yard. There have been many scary moments, but that was intense because it left me under the impression that men got killed everyday "because it happen on my first night" and I was just beginning my sentence. Kind of freaked me out. Seeing someone set on fire in their cell and burned to death was horrible. But, what I would say terrified me the most was waking up one morning to discover the man in the next next to me had died, from natural causes, in his cell. It brought me to tears, broke me down. The thought of the man dying in his prison cell, alone, his last moments, trapped in a cage, made me fear that it would happen to me, that I would die in prison alone. Are there some people that should die in prison? Sure, of course there are people so evil they should never be set free. What people need to comprehend is that not all people in prison are bad or evil. People make mistakes, for many reasons, and just because they are locked up doesn't mean they should die in there. I will admit, an alarming number of men in prison are pretty bad, have never done a thing in society, but the circumstances of everyone's life is different.

[@serenityisbest]

That was a touching story - it really choked me up. Thank you for sharing this with me. I don’t believe it’s a coincidence that I was drawn to your channel last week for the first time. I knew nothing about prison life until I started watching your videos (I’ve watched all of them so far and I’m looking forward to more - especially the one where you’ll tell your own story). Recently, I’ve watched several interviews with Anthony Arillota, who was a big-name mob boss in my town (Springfield, MA) for many years. But now that he’s “reformed”, he’s giving interviews right and left and I can’t help but wonder why he does that. It seems to me that he should be afraid of talking so much, but who knows. I’ve listened to him brag and tell stories, and I’m always left wondering what to believe. But then I found your channel and very quickly I intuited that what you’re saying is true and that you’re sharing this information to help people (especially young people) understand what prison life is really like so that hopefully they can keep themselves away from it. You’re not making these videos for fame and fortune. You’re doing it because you genuinely care. Thank you so much for that! 🧚

[@22CONSERVATIVEFELON]

@@serenityisbest I sincerely appreciate your words! They mean a lot because I am doing this to bring awareness to the youth. Sadly a large percentage of the youth today feel entitled, believe things can't happen to them, until it's too late. So, I try to explain the pain involved, the depression, the loss. I created a program to help the youth, you can check it out at www.stampchange.com and see what I did for many years. I will be putting out a video of my story shortly, most likely within a few days, right after the holiday. I could care less about any fame, I had that already. They made a movie about me titled "City By The Sea" where Robert DeNiro played my father and James Franco played me. The movie is FAR from reality, Hollywood at its finest, but it made my life a circus. All that matters to be is that the youth open there eyes, that woman start behaving like woman, and men start behaving like men, that people refrain from drugs, and realize that they can have a good life no matter what their circumstances. Our lives do not depend on our conditions because we can overcome anything, anything! Our life and future depends on our determination. When you have someone who blames America for the negative position they are in, it only means they possess that hate because they have not disciplined themselves to become what they want or be where they want to be. I became a prisoner because of the choices and decisions I made, and successful people are successful because of the choices and decisions they made. It's that simple. The circumstances that surround us in life are not important, it is how we respond to circumstances that is important. Our response determines whether we fail or succeed.

[@serenityisbest]

Joe - thank you for your replies! I just clicked on the link you sent me to the STAMP site (by the way - GREAT picture of you!) and I’m grateful that you’ve developed such an important program at a time when this country needs it most. Unfortunately, page that your link brought me features a video I can’t watch because it says that the featured video is “private”. Is there somewhere else I can watch it? I’d like to pass on information about your program to leaders in the community who may want to contact you about incorporating your program into areas where it will surely make a positive impact (Boston, Chicago, etc) but I don’t know where to get the info to send them or how they can contact you (or even if you’d be on board with this!). Also, do you accept invitations to speak to groups, and how much do you charge per appearance?). Thank you once again for what you do - I’ve binge-watched every video and can’t wait for more! (I’ll be watching City by the Sea tonight!) Cindy 🧚

[@22CONSERVATIVEFELON]

@@serenityisbest Thank you so much for your words, really appreciate the sincerity. The video is not available because Iona college owns the rights as I was speaking on their stage at the time and they wanted the video to use for themselves. I have spoken in detention centers, rehabilitation hospitals, jails, high schools and colleges, even address adult groups of social workers, etc. My website has been neglected because covid basically shut me down. As far as City By The Sea, it's Hollywood at its finest, so far from truth or reality its insane! In the movie they have me kill two people, in reality it was one. In the movie they have an officer get killed, in reality no officer was even injured in my case. In the move they give me a son, in reality I have no children. In the movie they make me look like a junkie, is reality I'm a handsome bastard! 🙂 They made the movie without my permission, using my real name, but never even spoke to me. Go figure. My criminal case is totally different then what is in the movie. The movie makes my father a concerned, hero dad. In reality he is a loser, a deadbeat dad who never helped.

[@superfuzzymomma]

"Sing Sing was like Washington Square Park"! I know what your sayin'.....far as the park is concerned, anyway. And damn, that guard snorting the bag front of you......damn.

[@22CONSERVATIVEFELON]

The guard not only snorted the bag in front of me, he also smoked some dust with me another time. Crazy part is other prisoners ended up ratting him out when he sold some televisions to a few prisoners but wouldn't sell to some others, so they set him up and got him fired.

[@superfuzzymomma]

@22CONSERVATIVEFELON Insane, man. Tales worth their weight in gold..

[@ajm3821]

Eye opening. How did you get off drugs in the joint? Did they have a program or did you go cold turkey? What made you want to quit? Aren’t you glad you don’t do them anymore?

[@22CONSERVATIVEFELON]

Drugs came in various ways; through the visits, through corrupt officers, through packages, when there is a will there is a way. I was using my first few years but when I hit Attica I realized if I didn't change my life I was going to die in prison. I didn't want that, believed I was a better person then the person I had become. I just quit, made a decision that I was done.

[@ajm3821]

[@AlfieinMontana]

I can’t believe they punish you for weed. I was I’m New Mexico pen in the 90’s. The guards don’t give a F about weed. They didn’t care about small stuff like tattoos and even cell fights if they aren’t too bad. The cops let us live our life.

[@22CONSERVATIVEFELON]

Thanks for watching brother. Not in New York! We definitely had some decent officers overseeing us, but many were horrible. As far as weed, they would come rushing in like gangbusters to catch you, and in disciplinary hearings they would slam you with over a year in solitary at times! Weed is perfectly legal now in New York, you can walk into a store and buy it for recreational purposes, but it prison they will still give you a Tier 3 ticket which is the most serious.

[@royscott9162]

[@DarinKnights]

Out of 10 C O's how many are crooked at Attica? Can inmates get away with small stuff if they behave in general for the officers?

[@22CONSERVATIVEFELON]

@@DarinKnights You asked out of 10 CO's how many are crooked in Attica. Everyone, almost everyone is crooked in life! It is harder to break through to Attica officers because they are pretty tough compared to most other prisons, but when you understand psychology, human behavior, it goes a long way. I'm not being funny either. See, when you look at an examine a person each one is unique, each one has his on personality, his or her own needs, desires. Is President Biden crooked? Of course he is. He accepts money to pardon people, accepts money for favors. Did the former NYC police Commissioner Benard Kerig end up in prison for four years? The list goes on forever. See when the officers see someone walking around 'acting' like a gangster, they don't want to do business with someone like that, someone who shows off, someone who's always running their mouth. One day an officer handed me a butcher knife, yes a fucking butcher knife and asked me to take it to the sink and wash it for him! Most prisoners were locked in their cells and I was out because I was the 'water guy' who gave hot water to men who needed it. The officers have their own little kitchen so he needed me to take the knife to the slop sink and wash it. I held it up in front of him and reminded him that I was in prison for killing a man with the same knife. Anyway as I'm walking to the slob sink a Sergeant who is doing rounds comes through the back gate and sees me holding this knife and freaks out! He pushes a button, screams at me to drop the knife, and the next thing you know I'm in a room with IG, the Inspector Generals office being questioned HARD! I pretty much know I'm done! One of the other officers snitched on the officer who gave me the knife, yep, he ratted out his fellow officer, but IG needs to hear it from me. I just keep telling them as I was in the slop sink washing dished it fell from under the sink, someone must have hidden it there. They know its bullshit but I'm not breaking no matter what, stick to my story. I tell them I was walking down the hall with it to bring it to the officer because I just discovered it. They grill me for hours, strip me naked, threaten me with years in solitary confinement, adding time to my sentence. I never break, and yea, I was scared and shook up! After IG leaves I remain naked in a cell by myself for two days. Then all of the sudden an officer shows up at the cell with clothes for me, a hot meal, tells me to get dressed. I said "where am I going?" "back to your cell" he replied. From that moment on every officer and prisoner in Attica knew I ain't saying shit to anyone about anyone. It's called 'holding it down' no matter what. From that point on, I could get whatever I wanted from them.
