      Soledad California was my home in the 1970s and 80s part of 1990s . Camp and homes next the prison housed field labor workers and families. Not prison guards families.

    JUST after I got caught selling drugs in Soledad Central they transported me to SanQuentin. Did 6 yrs there. When I saw this post it brought back memories. I be 82 years old now. When I got out in 59....never again did I break the law. Opened a repair garage and it was very successful. First year I grossed 180 K. 3rd year was 287K. Kept climbing. Retired here to Wisconsin.

    I was in a prison in Rhode island designed exactly like this one. It's a dorm style lay out. It was in 2001 and it was the medium 2 security building. There were 6 dorms in the building. It was infested with rats, mice and other rodents. We went 3 weeks with no heat and hot water in mid winter in 2002. The showers were freezing and the dorms were like 35 - 40° inside. They made us go out to the yard in the coldest days calling it mandatory yard. After walking the cold yard for 90 minutes we would go into the cold dorms. I served 5 years. These living conditions cause a lot of chaos at times and lots of Drama.

    i did time in michigan in the 2000s and u could show a video of that and it would look the same , i think its all time and it can be a hard place if your soft but generally level 1 is like a slumber party level 2 is a more serious and some places are very tense because of perhaps drama between whoever and the higher levels are the most dangerous but your locked in your cell most of the time ,, people say "whats prison like" and the answer depends on who you are and where your at so its different for everyone , some people its a straight nightmare some people its like going home

    The Soledad Central chow hall and then they show one of the units in Soledad Central. A Soledad Central cell, I'm surprised the two convicts in the cell didn't tell the camera to get lost. It doesn't look like they keep their pad very clean just by looking at the toilet. Now they're filming in the gym which was full of bunks. Years ago I was at soledad, I lasted almost 3 weeks on North yard until they caught us drinking whiskey in our cell then they transferred me to Soledad Central and I lasted about 3 weeks there before I picked up a SHU term and spent nine months in O wing which is the hole in soledad. It was probably one of the best holes I've ever been in my life. I have mixed feelings watching this video.

    I unfortunately did time for some poor decisions I made back in 2000…after leaving R&O { receiving and orientation } I was shipped to a level 2/3 camp which had a open dorm style layout … it was absolutely horrible!!! Fights broke out several times a day everyone knew where the blind spots were so if an assault took place the perpetrators hardly if ever got caught…I watched people come back from canteen aka commissary and get full on strong armed for there bag…I seen people get extorted which was a big deal a unsuspecting person comes in doesn’t have any kind of jail smarts and the next thing you know he’s being extorted and shot a store list every single store day..I never had to deal with that kind of shit I got into fights and it was mainly because of street beef or issues I had with certain individuals…after being rolled to a higher level camp I got into a 2 bunk cell and I was fortunate to get a cool ass celly I had a tv he had a tv we cooked every night and we just jailed we had a work out routine and did a lot of handball for cardio and I 12/12 my bit back in 06 and I’ve only had 2 tickets since then lol prison is not a badge of honor it is not fun!!! I ended up doing 14 months in county which 6 months of that was in the Hole and another 26 months before I got out on parole stay out of trouble peeps
