Dude you have to have my best friend on when he gets out of prison in a year or two. I'm definitely going to hook both of you together. He got 15 years on his first prison trip. His mom got 17 kids to fill fake prescriptions for her. It's a wild wild story. His mom got 57 years. This was during the pill epidemic in Florida. They made a example out of him. He didn't even like what his mom was doing. If it would have happened today he maybe would have gotten 3 years. I got caught with way way more stuff and didn't get anytime because i forfeited 300k to the police. It's always about the money for them.

This was my favorite interview from Ian Bick. It felt honest. There wasn’t the braggadocio and grandstanding that other prison people display when they brag about hitting people and going to the box. This guy is guilty, but seems to be relatively honest. A breath of fresh air.

[@TheirMommy589]

10000% agree

[@coltonmartin5724]

Couldn’t have said it better myself

Dude nobody is bragging about going to the box. Everyone that’s actually been in jail know it’s not bragging. Stop labeling things you never experienced.

[@TheirMommy589]

@JohnDoe33080 have been there, so has my family. But a bunch of people in these interviews do brag, and giggle, and still puff their chests trying to act big and hard and sprinkle some extra stuff in that never happened. May not be your experience, but it does happen.

[@nbitsme1629]

People don't realize how easy it would be for anyone to "fall in line" and do things/act in ways they would never do/act. I always refer bk to the Stanford prison experiment. That experiment explains a lot when ppl eventually go too far when they're not checking themselves or being checked by others.

How is it legal for a CI to get an innocent person to start doing illegal activities? That is the opposite taking people off the street...

[@Uzigograh]

Thats what im trying to understand. To ME it seems like they set him up on purpose considering how often they kept trying to flip him while he was a CO. To me it seems like entrapment.

[@Jane-rs2si]

If you approach any person under the law multiple times and waving money 💰 around, a lot would take it! Instead of taking true criminals off the streets they tempt and try to flip innocent civilians 🥴🥴🥴 smh

[@chingosdinero]

@@4nyproductions You obviously have never worked at a bank or been in law enforcement. They have undercovers that purposely offer you deals to see if you take them. It’s how they keep corruption and at a bank, theft to a minimum. Entrapment has to do with a civilian and law enforcement. Like an undercover prostitute can’t come up to you if you’re pumping gas then they bust you for solicitation…YOU have to solicit the prostitute…it’s very different scenario.

[@ra2186]

I remember that bus ride like 30 years ago. They put you on this modified type school bus. You drive through the city to hit the bridge. So while you're riding all chained up you see all these free people going about their day in the city. Then once you get close to the bridge you start to see all of these GIANT barb wire coils in the water. It let's you know right away, you're not escaping unless you're in or on a vehicle. It's life driving into another world. Once you get there, it's all hell.

[@TheFlaco090]

Crazy how I lived everything he said about working on the Island . I did the job for 5 years and it wasn't easy. I gave up the money and a city job because of the stress level. I knew that inmates are rough to work with but the people that you work with were a whole different thing. That was the scariest thing of all

[@Elseba0287]

I’d love to hear some stories! I’m sure you have a bunch as well. But money isn’t everything man, going into work knowing you hate your job and the stress level is super high, is not good. Sounds like you did the right thing.

[@zevolfearizona2113]

I did 2 tours in different max state prisons. I'm with you. Both times I moved on was due to "staff." I didn't do anything that would put me in prison, but I sure as hell wasn't writing tickets for an extra pillow. Etc So many acted as if it was their duty to make the time as hard as possible for inmates. I was polar opposite. The loss of freedom is the punishment. I didn't want to add to that. This caused a lot of friction, to say the least. Lol

[@TheFlaco090]

LOL. I HATED when they would call me an inmate love just because I made sure they had what they where entitled to have like getting medication on time or rec for example . Most of the inmates respected me for trying to help them. A simple thing goes a long way in jail, thing that are mean nothing outside( in the town) @@zevolfearizona2113

[@TheFlaco090]

I see former inmates outside of jail and they walk up to me to show me love and some even said thanks for treating them like humans . I lost my older sister while working in Rikers and the inmates from my housing area found out some how and the all came up to me and showed me much respect and even a inmate that had cancer that became a good friend cried and always checked up on me even after I quit the job. @@Elseba0287

I agree the one thing I can’t get over is this kid was on the straight and narrow and the undercover informant sought him out … it’s not like dude was looking for trouble from what I’m hearing. So fucked how they can just pick and choose whose life they want to completely upend. Obviously he’s not innocent in all this he did the crime but they kinda put the crime in front of his face dressed up as thousands of dollars. Don’t seem right to me

[@Flush75]

@@JCHUBBS17 If you think about the concept of "for-profit prisons" - - they NEED more inmates to keep their prison profits flowing. So from that perspective it makes perfect sense to trick more folks into crimes, more prisoners you can exploit for cheap/free labor, more budget increases for agencies that handle crimes (corrections & police departments), more opportunities for rapacious criminal lawyers etc etc etc It's an industry loop for profit, yes you destroy people's lives by getting them involved in the crimes - - but in reality who cares about them (nobody's losing sleep over them except their families). Good ole' "American Justice"

[@BeezelBub8Is]

It's called entrapment. The DEA provided confiscated drugs, they provided to this man. That is corruption for agents to get collers.

[@TCC4118]

It’s not entrapment. The police didn’t give him the green light to do anything and then decided to bust him. He took it upon himself to get greedy and go the illegal route when he did not have to. He could have kept saying no.

[@sberry80]

When your faced with the dilemma of " can you do this small thing for $5k-$10k? No one gets hurt, it's just good money for 5 minutes of your time." At this instance you gotta ask yourself and be honest with yourself " is the rest of your life worth $10k? Like is it literally worth just $10k" $10k for your whole life, ya it may only be 5 years in prison but your whole life is gonna change. Class A felonies mean your not gonna get a good job EVER, PLUS 5 YEARS OF POROLE AND SO ON AND SO ON.

[@joshcrawford5625]

That never crosses the mind of anyone who had been in poverty their whole life when someone asks hey man I got 10k for 10 mins of your time no one will get hurt no one will ever know shot most people would probably think about it but eventually 10k is 10k especially if you have never even seen 10k at once before it sucks but it’s true

[@WestCoastTruckingCEO]

Who says you're never going to get a good job if you have a felony? That's just outdated thinking

[@sberry80]

@WestCoastTruckingCEO I shouldn't say not a good job ever. You can do a lot of blue collar jobs that pay good. Like construction and all the specialties that fall under that like plumbing, roofing ,gas piping, hvac, etc. If your able to get a license you can get into trucking.
