I dont know where Gracie did his time but my time in the Pinta was nothing like that. Weights lol. Try water bags. I had so many fucking there was no way I could get any type of job. Now they have SHU's and Gang Validation. Prison is no fucking joke these days. Fake kites and dudes getting PC'ed and stuck for no reason.
Gracie where were you locked up at?
bordentown,but the state calls it albert c wagner,otherwise known as gladiator school.first i got sent to the county jail for 3 months,then they shipped me off to yardville prison for what they call classification.yardville and bordentown are only 2 miles from eachother and you could see it if you looked out of certain windows in bordentown.i got classified to serve my time in bordentown,some guys stayed in yardville and others got sent to leesburg,southern state,rahway,trenton,riverfront ect.unfortunatly for me i wanted to stay in yardville cause the place was one of the best places in the state to do time,the place looked more like a country club then a prison.the problem was they couldnt keep me in yardville cause i had a violent crime,it was only for non violent offenders,drug dealers and such.like i said things might have changed now but im keepin it real,i had access to more ye yo,heroin,herb and xanax then i did on the street,the shit was everywhere on the weekends in the bigyard after visits.the problem was 1 joint of weed would run you 6 packs of cigarettes and a dime of coke would be about the same.heroin was about the same also for a bag.i used to work visiting hall on weekends and i used to bring back baloons filled with all those drugs,i used to stick 7 to 10 baloons of drugs up my keester and bring them back to the tier for some major players,i really didnt want to do it but ,my boy said if you turn these dudes down youll have a rough bid.they also said if you bring back the drugs for them youll have a easy bid,first off no one fugged with these cats,second since i was thier bread and butter for bringing drugs into the prison in return the word was out,dont fugg with me either cause youll have to deal with the them.also i never had to pay for no weed,coke,dope or whatever,they told me since i brought it in ill get some for free.i just took some weed and dope cause trust me,you do not want to be doing blow locked up in your room,youll be bouncing off the walls.plus we had afew corection officers that worked the night shift that used to let us come out into the tv room after lights out at 10pm,they where cool guys,one of the major players on out tier used send this c.o. money orders and the c.o. would bring us in 5 or 6 pizzas on saturday night and some porn flicks for the vcr,plus other good action movies that where popular at that time,for some reason inmates loved those chinese kung fu movies,you know the ones where the guy throws a kick and you hear the sound of it 3 seconds later,lol.plus since i was on the boxing team and powerlifting team i got to travel to different prisons when we had competitions,i sucked in boxing,but since one of the guys i brought drugs in for was a captains on the boxing team he got me on the team,i was mostly a fill in in case someone got hurt and they needed a replacement.as far as the power lifting team i wasnt exactly a prize there either,at 210lbs at did a 375 clean,paused bench press,a 500lb clean,below parralell squat,and a 500lb dead,not exactly poundages to brag about but i got to travel and like i said before i had all the benefits of the private weight room and stuff.when i got some anadrol in our team went from being ranked like number 8 in the state prison system to number 2 in 4 months,i was handing the A BOMBS out like candy and most of these dudes grew like weeds from it and guys squats went up almost 75 lbs and deads over 100lbs in 4 months,since i had alittle knowledge of how to diet right for making gains in muscle in strength i use to hook everyone up with hard boiled eggs everyday and tons of oatmeal i used to nail from the kitchen,some of these guys wherent eating like they should have been,instead of eating the dinner in the mess hall they would snack on potatoe chips and junk.i cleaned up thier diets,it wasnt easy but they made much better progress and thanked me acouple months later.if you read this you must have been really bored or very interested,lol.like i said i was a young guy back then and made some mistakes,ive stayed out of trouble since then and except for some minor traffic violations ive never been introuble again,thank god.its not a good place to be but like everything else in life you have to try to make the best out of every unfortunate situation,i did what i had to do to survive and make it home alive cause when your around 1500 violent offenders you have to watch your back constantly and sleep with one eye open so to speak
