“This guy walks in and is immediately jumped by 4 dudes.
Theyre there so inmates can make oatmeal, soup, or coffee without a microwave or any kitchen appliances.
Then he would throw it on his opponent.
Jimmy Chan
Watching that will stick with me for a while.
Mainly the terrible scream the man made as the Vaseline stuck to his face.
He was taken to medical right after that.
He had 3rd degree burns all over his face and hands.
I did a couple years when I was young and dumb.
The craziest shit I saw was actually in the county jail and not the state prison.
The county jail was right on the Texas/Mexico border so there were a lot of Hispanics.
What was weird was the Hispanics born in America and the Mexicans from Mexico absolutely hated each other.
That dudes screams will haunt me forever.
The guy lived but it looked like a fucking murder scene.
Not me, but my husband was in prison as a young adult.
He said that they had a way of checking your ego in the spot he was at.
If you were smart you would just sorta blow it off or laugh it off and move on.
If you did that then they would be all friendly and be like oh?
So the poor guy would do as many push ups as they could.
The tough guys would gas the new guy up, acting friendly, pushing him to do more.
They acted impressed and joked around.
He would be helpless to resist because he had maxed himself out on push ups.
Afterwards any guy with an ego was normally really quiet for the remainder of their stay.
I have a friend who used to work in corrections.
They had an inmate who had a habit of assaulting and raping other inmates.
My friend said that Dept.
Within the first few days the big cell mate asked for protective custody and claimed he had been raped.
Last I heard old rapey murderer had a room to himself.
A friend of mine did a short stint.
From what he told me…
He was supposed to get paperwork detailing his charges before he got to prison, but did not.
They were bouncing the guys head off of the concrete to the point that my friend could hear it.
My buddy says thats the moment that scared him straight.
I was in jail once waiting to see a judge.
Im Hispanic, but look completely white and have a shaved head.
He told me blacks were greenlit and that I had to swing on sight.
It was a scary, and luckily the COs were aware and kept everyone separate until the greenlight ended.
I spent a couple weeks in county jail.
Kinda like how you just dont say bomb on an airplane anymore.
By day three, I had a good understanding of the other guys I was locked up with.
I had been there a week, when the 12 year old finally lost his cool completely.
State run facilities have standards after all!
The next day, everyone was looking at the 12 year old with hate in their eyes.
Kinda like Gomer Pyle in Full Metal Jacket.
Everyone got really cold toward him, even openly mean.
Ill admit, I started ignoring him completely after the poop.
This is the scariest thing I had seen in jail.
This was the suicide protocol at the jail.
No counseling, no medical ward.
You lose the ability to move.
My cell was up above his, and I heard him weeping and moaning in agony all night.
One night in the blue burrito broke him.
Ok, so I got a DUI in a neighboring county.
Well fast forward a couple months and I end up getting into some shit and charged in my county.
I end up in that neighboring countys prison.
Rough stop to put it lightly.
So at one point a CO comes up to talk to him.
The CO leaves and this guy is freaking out.
Hes screaming and yelling and banging on the door to his cell.
He called me a N*****!
He just keeps screaming this and the banging intensifies.
Its now BOOM BOOM BOOM with him still screaming.
So for the next 45 minutes I can hear this guy gasping for air, it didnt sound good.
They finally came back, drug him out of his cell and down the hall to this little shower.
They finally ended up taking him to the hospital.
No one noticed for a day.
It was a big dorm and I wasnt next to her, but no one noticed.
Everyone thought she was coming off meth and needing to sleep.
The girl that jumped off the tier lived luckily.
Obligatory not a prisoner but an ex-Correctional Officer.
I once had to work overtime in a segregation unit.
This inmate had been taken to an outside hospital for cutting his arm from his wrist to his bicep.
The blood was all over the place, we could easily see the muscle and fat in his arm.
He agreed to cuff up, and went on his merry way back to the outside hospital.
That fact alone messed me up.
I guess this guy had a history of crying wolf and guards were in no rush to assist him.
He ended up choking on his vomit and dying in the cell with my uncle watching.
Guy laid on the floor for an entire night before anyone came into check.
Where I was, the guard towers were armed with a variety of less than lethal firearms.
A fight started on the breezeway (main walkway between units.)
Else, the guards start shooting shotguns loaded with rubber balls at you.
One of the guards hit one of the guys fighting directly in the sack with a rubber ball round.
Turned the front of his jeans red by the time they got him up and to the infirmary.
Apparently lost a testicle due to rupture.
I was in a minimum and I saw some brutal fights.
But the worst thing I ever witnessed was from some idiots.
They stole some isopropyl alcohol from the med unit somehow.
Brought it back mixed it into drinks and drank it.
Ive heard of people drinking floor stripper for ghb or some shit.
The things people will do to try and get fucked up is way beyond anything I can comprehend.
I was taking a shower in a communal shower.
This guy walks in and is immediately jumped by 4 dudes.
We were in release processing and the gates were broken.
we were told to stay inside the cells.
6 Sheriffs came and beat the fuck out of the guy.
it definitely fucked up the release and we all stayed another 36 hours while they cleaned it up.
