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.

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.

@@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.

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.

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.

@@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).

Working as a C.O. It’s just like doing a bid. I feel bad for them. Even the ones that you can smell the dirt on them as soon as they pull up at a gas station. There is too much temptation working in the prison system.

What? How is it the same? They come and go as they please and aren't locked up for years so it's not the same at all. It's just another job to punch in & punch out at. Most days not sh*t happens either so it's not exactly a hard job 99% of the time

@Supremedope6569 ай бұрын
Exactly, or maybe there’s more to the story. Cause the guy in Riker’s was in on it and so was the guys on the out so it’s not even like he could really give anyone up or there was a bigger fish. So why even choose to set him up other than to entrap him n lock up another minority. He needed a better lawyer

@@Supremedope656Im confused about getting caught by the DEA with the duffel bags… because if the DEAs were setting up the runs how does this CO know that the duffel bags even had real drugs in them ? The runs were you scratch my back I scratch your back which led back to him sneaking in contraband (back to square zero) which was the whole corruption sting anyways

I understand that nobody forces you to do something but why did Rikers/Police force try to set up their young talent as soon as they got to the prison? Especially the young guys or women. You’ll rather ruin their life by putting money in their face that they don’t have and is trying to get. You dont even give them a chance to really grow and love their job to have some type of integrity. If you just started working there you don’t feel like you owe them.
