Ex-cons, What's The Worst Thing That Happened To YOU In Prison? (AskReddit)

ex-cons of reddit what's the worst thing that happened to you while still in your time serious 12 months on the inside very first day in prison very first day I was in line for supper and this big guy comes up behind me squeezes my ass and whispers in my ear are your panties wet scared shitless I turned around and the guy jumped back and said in a friendly tone oh my mistake mate thought you were someone else and left the line I suppose seeing people getting taken advantage of all the time and then not caring was the worst new guys coming in and getting ripped off on trades and stuff people with social / developmental issues just getting their food taken from them also the psychology of people without goals gets weird what was worst was just becoming part of that world there are so many people there that have their rights taken away from them on a regular basis and don't care anymore they choose to place value on being able to make others fear them they stop thinking about the world beyond the walls and just get all wrapped up in the weird culture of the place there was a day I was feeling proud of myself because I was running around organizing contraband trades setting up poker games and owning things like hardcover books and the only dice in the place in that moment of pride I realized I had started to lose my mind it's honestly hard to remember the months in there because most of the time nothing's [ __ ] happening nothing you've read until you can't stand it you've slept or you can you can't play cards cuz your celly is sleeping so you stare at the ceiling and wait it's so weird to realize you're doing the equivalent of timeout for months you're not waiting for five minutes not waiting five hours you're waiting for a day that is months away just waiting TL DR it's like being in a DMV with a bunch of [ __ ] and your number isn't up until next January my family came to visit me on Christmas Day the first year I was in I was so ashamed that I had a little breakdown the next day and punched the cinderblock wall inside my cell one of the gods invited me to come talk to him I made the mistake of thinking he was a and was talking about the meaning of life and life things happened he decided he thought I was suicidal which I wasn't the next day I was shipped off to a maximum-security prison in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan stripped down naked and given a Kevlar smoke to where they keep the temperature down at 60 degrees which means that you have to stay huddled in a corner to conserve body heat because this was observation I wasn't allowed to have anything nothing to read watch etc naked and cold for an entire week if you'd like to see what this is like turn your thermostat down then take all your clothes off and sleep on the floor of your bathroom with the light on for 6 days straight no showering either wasn't offered a chance to clean myself that's how I spent New Year's 2007 observation is not some kind of psychological treatment it's punishment and mental torture sleeping and singing to yourself is all you can do too cold to do anything else [ __ ] brutal now I try to go out of the country for New Year's Eve every year 8 months inside and one instance always sticks out in my mind I was running out of phone minutes and spending what precious time I had left talking to my child we didn't get to talk as much as I liked had unfortunately more important people to talk to lawyers trying to find jobs for my release etc this [ __ ] comes up I need the phone hold on man I only got a couple minutes left he takes the phone and slammed it into the shitty payphone holster and abruptly hung up on my daughter still breaks my heart because I cherish every minute I can have with her the first day I was assigned to a new unit after being sentenced DUI 90 days I got put in a 5-man cell it wasn't my first time locked up and had been in the jail a few weeks so I wasn't too nervous the guys were called to me or evening all four had done time before in much worse prisons they were all playing cards and I didn't know the game so I sat on my bunk reading they started off saying weird cryptic gay stuff them staff regarding Vaseline and who was cute on the block etc it amps up over the course of an hour then they start playing strip poker meanwhile I've been hearing every word they say and studiously ignoring it they got bored of being subtle and began saying awful stuff about [ __ ] each other in the ass I ignore everything while secretly getting scared shitless they are going to do something to me eventually all four got up shirtless and they trapped me on my top bunk and started grabbing at me I yelled what the [ __ ] and they collapsed in laughter and spent the next 48 hours telling everyone who'd listen TL DR nu Kai and v Mansell they pretend they're gonna gang rape me three things two weeks in I'm in a fight for my life with a 250 pound serial rapist that wanted my but two years in and I get informed my five year old was run over and killed when her mother was dropping her off at the babysitters she let my five-year-old cross the street alone and then two days before my release my grandma passed the only family I had and connection to the outside world she let me call her once a month collect I did 3 and 1/2 years in Texas prisons I believe that the worst story I can recall was my first full day in a state jail facility used as a transition Center for up to two years before one is sent to a real prison in Texas a guy came up to me asking if I smoked cigarettes I didn't but thought why not so he told me to head to the gym when that time came later that afternoon we went to the gym and fired up a cigarette while we walked around a basketball court as we were walking around the court we approached the universal gym machine where a variety of people were using the various pieces to workout the guy who offered me the cigarette advised me to follow him to the other side of the basketball court and to stay away from the universal gym a few minutes later a guy sat down and leaned back to do some bench press when four guys grabbed him one on each arm and one on each leg two other guys pull out cans of chili or a freed beans as both were available in and proceed to hammer the guy in the face the guard the benchpress had his face completely caved in all I could think was what have I gotten myself into I also recall one other time when I was at the pre-release facility at the betta unit where a guy had his face cut up with a box cutter and his throat slit over $20 the guy who died even had about $40 worth of cigarettes on him when he died I never had anything happened to me directly per se there were a few fights I got into over various things usually just respect now I'm just rambling did three weeks in County for basically being at the wrong place at the wrong time I had just turned 18 and had never been in trouble not even in school I was interrogated in a small room by huge undercover agents with a stash who told me that they knew I was the ringleader and that he would make it his personal mission to see that I spent the rest of my life in jail did not know any details so I said nothing when I was put in a Cell my cellmate was a six feet two bald Mexican gangster guy and every night he would loudly masturbate while I clinched my thin bedsheets in fear not sleeping until I knew for sure I no longer hurt him I was released for lack of evidence good times did seven in Pennsylvania State Prison saw a guy who was accidentally kid by psychic to be in general population bailout 2-yard and try to cut his own head off with the razor wire it was morning yard not a lot of people out and he sprinted toward the fence as soon as he got out there we all thought oh [ __ ] we've never seen someone try to get over these forests of razor wire but then this [ __ ] turns around with his back right up against the fence cops coming from three directions yelling into their radios and he loops a circle of razor wire around his neck and starts sawing a [ __ ] waterfall of blood cops froze everyone froze that [ __ ] was really unexpected they told us he lived but [ __ ] me if I know how I was incarcerated for nine years one month four days I've seen many things I just turned 30 I will starter an ax I have time the worst I've seen was two guys on life sentences back in courts for retrial seeing a rival enemy and for DUI over the weekend guy didn't make it home to lifers stabbed him I'm assuming 100 times tied him up in blankets sent to trash delivery two guys were caught day later when missing body was found before trash was disposed I can answer as an ex corrections officer I was 4 and 1/2 years in Co field unit in Texas I think the worst thing I ever saw was a guy who was masturbating with a light bulb one of those little screwin 60 watt light bulbs anyway the guy stuck it up his ass Garson first and couldn't get it out he asked the guards to take him to medical and I was on the escort team he was in segregation we get to medical and sit for a while next thing I know the guys screaming blood and [ __ ] run everywhere and he just passes out we ended up having two life flight him out to the closest hospital where they opened him up and rinsed his ass out I was in the room the whole time I'm still traumatized I'm going to give you a family story my cousin got into some cocaine and heroin problems shortly after his mother died he did a robbery at knifepoint on a local shop where my brother now works anyway he goes away for ten years serves eight and was released three years ago he has a wife and two kids and is doing really well so happy ending the story that comes to mind during his fifth year he is one of the longest-serving members of the prison short-stay prison in England with only a few people serving sentences over two years anyway he gets a guy living next to his cell and starts chatting with him in the cafeteria they become friends and after about three months people think nothing of it but three months after he arrives the inmates break into the back office of the prison and find everyone's records they find out my cousin's mate has been transferred to this prison because his last prison found out he was a kiddy Fiddler's and he was moved for his safety my cousin gets told flat out while at dinner one day so-and-so has been done for kiddie fiddling do something or you both get it from us fearing his safety my cousin goes of and whacks the guy straight in the jaw weather tray breaks his jaw and a couple of teeth my cousin proves he was not sympathizing with a pedo and didn't get his head kicked in sent into solitary confinement for two weeks came late and I shared in a similar thread about the guys getting beat to death in front of me so I'll share my worst that I was involved in I was arrested in a different state after skipping out of my home state while waiting for extradition back they don't [ __ ] around County maximum-security I'm in with the worst of the worst all murder rape kidnapping charges so my only experience with jail prior to this was watching the Shawshank Redemption cos prison shows on TV so I'm scared shitless I'm a big guy at the time six feet six about 280 lbs pretty solid fighter but I know I'm in with hardened criminals that will kill me for a cupcake or so I thought anyway first day and I stay in my cell sleep all day think about my life half way through the day a group of the biggest guys come in and asked for my papers to make sure I wasn't a pedo later I talked to my cell metabolize the next day we will play and he will show me around next morning we sleep in and around 11:00 go down and get a game I'm like a scared rabbit looking around checking my back just waiting to get checked we get to play and I'm getting to know the guys everyone seems cool I'm good at spades and so is my silly so we are kicking ass after a few games the other team is getting agitated and I'm gloating a bit so the guy to my right eventually gets upset and starts yelling calling me a cheat and this and that I brush it off but I'm on Phil alert just waiting for a fight so when he yells [ __ ] this and [ __ ] you he stands up and I pop up and blast him in the face as hard as I can he crumbles to the ground and starts spitting out teeth everyone in the common area just stares and me like WTF it was later explained that people get upset at card games but never fight in view of gourds my cellmate put jam in my shoes the morning of my release oh and when I first got there they accidentally entered me into the system twice giving me to prisoner it's only one of which worked and put all my money and post on the other one didn't sort this out till I finished my sentence months later I spent a short amount of time in a County Jail the first morning they came and handed out those small cardboard cereal boxes that come in variety packs I remember wolfing down the serial as I hadn't eaten in a day or two and was starving they then came back around and served the milk I was best processing into LA County Jail just after the first showers everybody is lined up to proceed to the next stage of processing we were told to leave our towels in a pile on the floor and step forward when your name is called one Hispanic fellow was called but did not speak any English he was still carrying his towel the deputy commanded him to stop and leave his towel in the pile he did not respond one deputy used his Taser on the dude while two others dropped knees on him the guy was rolling on the floor screaming apologies in broken English and Spanish the guy received one warning a few of us tried asking other Hispanics to inform him of the rule before he got to the deputies but no further effort was made I realize this isn't the worst tale on this post just goes to show that violence happens for totally silly reasons in jail / prison 57 months of federal time here I was in Atlanta Russ Paco told a guy who had smeared his own [ __ ] all over himself that if he wanted to impress him to eat it he did see many rapes worst rate was a guy white gang rape then extorted for money by blacks seen about 12 people get shanked they say 10 a day on average an ATL who worse was in the rec yard in Devon's MA a fine citizen was setting at a picnic table when a gentleman came up behind him and slashed his face with a razor there was no blood for what seemed like rather than his face looked like it fell in half and blood gushed everywhere got into a fight with a co in Brooklyn who was being a douche seen a guard get nearly killed by Mexicans in cap the kotake guys tattoo equipment away and the guy had a heroin habit and tattooing was how he made his money for drugs the guy begged the co for the stuff back ko refused the guy went back to his room for his shank and the co ended up having a bad day well I'm late and none of my friends redid so far a throwaway I spent 10 months in Iran chin 13 months in juvenile hall I know it isn't the same as prison that I was just an innocent kid so it was extremely hard the worst thing that happened to me actually occurred when I escaped from the ranch I was at at that point I had spent about two months in juvenile and was at the ranch for about 24 hours I was in one of the only opportunities I'd have to be unsupervised so I ran I ran for 14 hours and through four cities before coming to a road after walking so long and being so tired I was desperate and started to stick out my thumb to hitchhike at about 4:00 a.m. as I walked after a while a car actually stopped and let me hop in a Baba faced nervous-looking man was driving the car I tried to make small talk to divert attention from the fact I was wearing bright orange pants I thought he might know I escaped but in mid conversation he just blatantly grabbed my penis looking back I wish every day that I beat his face and inside that red car but instead I just asked him to pull over surprisingly he does I wasn't raped or anything but that [ __ ] will haunt me for the rest of my life whew I feel a lot better
