I hope you enjoy the video. This is a brief insight into my first day walking onto Rikers Island as a prisoner. I would end up staying there for three years before being sent upstate.
I believe you are 100% correct; I do remember dudes wearing their s--t back then on Rikers, not upstate in the joint though. Although little story; I stepped into Sing Sing and one day in the yard notice this Irish dude on the bar; he has a SICK gold Cuban link on his neck, and hanging from it is a huge gold lions head with diamonds for its eyes. My boy told me that if a cop or a prisoner wants that chain one of them will end up dead. His name was Patty, one of the best!
I did a 20 year bid on Rikers Island, that's right I said 20 years. At the end of my 20 I cop a plea and took my pension. As a retired 20 year NYC Correction Officer, Rikers Island is to be forgotten.
I was on Rikers with Joe, one of the nicest, most dangerous guys I met in there! I then ended up in Attica with him years later. His brain is on another level.
You chew Joe? Did they have much or any chewing tobacco on the inside? I smoked cigarettes for 18 years. Then I worked the oil rigs out in Alberta and just got hooked on the chew. Off it now, but man did I ever love the chaw!! Skoal Pouches Mint. F’n mouth watering lol. Yet another awesome video brother.
Yes I dip, and I have to quit this! I've been dipping over 35 years since I was a teenager. They did have dip is many of the commissaries in prison but not all. If they didn't you could get it shipped in in a a package. Appreciate you following along.
I went to jail one time in Duval County, it was the most miserable 48 hours, it was like time stand still in there, and the C.Os were awful, power tripped jag-offs
I really enjoy your vids. Just one question: you said no narcotics are dispensed at Rikers. However, I have always read, including last year, that Rikers has a longtime court-approved methadone program for inmates who pass requirements. I know you’ve said you were never an opiate addict, but were you aware of the program there?
@@AFaceintheCrowd01 You are 100 percent correct, Rikers does have a methadone program, but Rikers is a jail, not a prison. Prison does not have any such program
Fish I was on the island in 1994 I'm a 49 years old white .boy originally from BX moved to Stamford CT in 1990 but did my thing in the city back then the island was Insane! especially if your white! I had numerous fights I'm 6'4 275 and good with my hands and eventually made people respect me because NO matter what I fight win or lose,if you don't beat me I'm going to beat you! I was on C-95 also
You are 100% correct. It was 1996 when I was there and there are some things hard to remember. I do remember dude's having on their jewelry, chains, etc.
Diddy is not worth speaking about, he's a child molester and waste of life, and Luigi did what he felt he had to do. My channel is not the inquire, TMX or buzz feed :-) I speak about the reality of incarceration and trying to keep people out

You got Rikers mixed up from upstate as far as jewelry, in them years you can keep any jewelry you got on, believe me I had mine on

What happened to Rikers Island? 🏝️
Facts ,l work there 17 years ,Correction Officers begin to think their better than other people.Stealing inmates commissary doing all kind of stuff.
What jail?
@@tracyking1489what jail ?
RIKERS ISLAND!!! JEEZ
I was on Rikers with Joe, one of the nicest, most dangerous guys I met in there! I then ended up in Attica with him years later. His brain is on another level.
What was he in prison for?
@@davidlamotta1994 A very intense murder!
What's doing Crenz! Long time, hope all is good
Very interesting vid. I’m subscribed
Appreciate that, thank you
I would like to hear your opinion on Diddy's trial and how you think he will fare in prison
Diddy will be a trophy, big bullseye on his back. That guy is in for a life of misery and deserves every second of it for his sex crimes.
I could care less about Diddy
well said
Joe your remind me a Rocky Balboa, or maybe Tony Soprano! I appreciate you!
I'll take that as a compliment , thank you ever so much, and thanks for watching
Keep it coming.
Interesting videos. Sounds like you’ve been through a lot. Murder must have been a tough rap to be incarcerated for. Glad you made it out alive.
It was a rough time in my life but I'm out now and doing good.

@@22CONSERVATIVEFELON Understood. Thank you for the response.
Did you get the soap and razor back?
I did
16K is alot of inmates the cook county jail had 10-13K
The Rikers population is way down down
Cook County jail is no joke
@ I think Rykers, cool county and la county are the wurst
@@ChicagoMobTrials All are the worst!
Did you get your razor back? Lol

Well hopefully those days are long behind you. Rikers is always a cement jungle, a depressing, miserable place.
You talking about upstate, cause on Rikers island them years you can keep any jewelry you got on, I know I had my jewelry in there
You are 100% correct. It was 1996 when I was there and there are some things hard to remember. I do remember dude's having on their jewelry, chains, etc.
And you have to be a real bad ass to hold on to your stuff.
I already wouldn't be able to sleep but if I had to gaurd me chain & watch...no way not worth it. I got no one in jail to impress.
@@hangingon wearing a chain in jail makes you feel different, N yes not everyone will be able to wear jewelry in jail.
Yes! Talk about Diddy and Luigi.
Diddy is not worth speaking about, he's a child molester and waste of life, and Luigi did what he felt he had to do. My channel is not the inquire, TMX or buzz feed :-) I speak about the reality of incarceration and trying to keep people out
