@ WOOD,QUESTION ABOUT PRISON

[Big Teflon]

HEY MAN,I JUST WENT TO SOLANO STATE PRISON TODAY FOR ONE OF THOSE TOURS FOR AT RISK YOUTH.I WENT IN THERE AND LISTENED TO THOSE GUYS,MAN THEY REAL AS FUCK IN THERE.HERE IS MY QUESTION I HOPE THIS DON'T MAKE NO ONE MAD BECAUSE THIS AIN'T A DISS IT IS A QUESTION.
WHEN YOU WERE LOCKED UP,DID YOU TAKE HEAT FOR BEIN' A NORTENO THAT IS WHITE?
WHILE I WAS ON THIS TOUR THEY TOOK US OUT IN THA YARD WIT' THE INMATES AND STUFF AND THEY HIT ME UP,THEY WAS LIKE,"WHAT YOU BANG",I WAS LIKE NUTTIN' HOMEBOY,AND THEY WAS LIKE,"BY THA WAY YOU WALKIN' YOU LOOK LIKE A NORTHERNER",AND I WAS LIKE YA KNO' WHATEVER THEN THEY WAS LIKE YOU WOULD BE DEAD IN AN INSTANT FOR LOOKIN' WHITE AND WALKIN' LIKE THAT.THAT SHIT SPLIT MY WIG MAN,LOL.I WAS LIKE DAMN,THIS PLACE MUST BE A BITCH FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME.
THIS QUESTION ALSO GOES TO ANYONE THAT IS WHITE AND IS A NORTENO,THAT HAS ALREADY EXPERIENCED THIS.

 

[Quick]

DONT GET ALL TWISTWED UP IN THIS BUT HOW THAT "GET YOUR WIG SPLIT" SINCE YOUR A KILLER?

BASICALLY WHAT IM TRYIN TO SAY IS WHY YOU GET ALL SHOOK BUT YOU CLAIMING YOUR A KILLER?

 

[Big Teflon]

THAT AIN'T WHAT SHOOK ME,THEY THING THAT SPLIT MY WIG WAS THAT YOU GET KILLED OVER NON-SENSE LIKE THAT.THEY ALWAYS SAY IT AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE THE MOVIES AND IT AIN'T,I JUST NEVER THOUGHT IT WENT DOWN LIKE THAT.I WASN'T ALL IN SHOCK WHEN HE SAID THAT I WAS JUST KIND OF SURPRISED.

 

[The Duke of Earl]

i know my nephews dad was locked up his home boy had a uncle who is a norteno and i know my newphews dad home boy was white but his uncle might have been mixed and proably looked white

 

[Quick]

THAT AIN'T WHAT SHOOK ME,THEY THING THAT SPLIT MY WIG WAS THAT YOU GET KILLED OVER NON-SENSE LIKE THAT.THEY ALWAYS SAY IT AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE THE MOVIES AND IT AIN'T,I JUST NEVER THOUGHT IT WENT DOWN LIKE THAT.I WASN'T ALL IN SHOCK WHEN HE SAID THAT I WAS JUST KIND OF SURPRISED.

OK I GOT YOU. I TOOK IT THE WRONG WAY.

 

[WOODIE]

WHEN YOU SAY THEY TOOK YOU ON THE YARD AND HIT YOU UP, WHO WAS THEY. HOMEBOYZ? THE WHOLE GROUP? I MEAN WHO WAS TALKIN' TO YOU?
AS A YOUTH I WENT TO SAN QUENTIN AND TRACY AS REQUIRED BY MY PROBATION. "SCARED STRAIGHT" THEY CALLED IT, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE STILL CALLIN' IT.
AT QUENTIN WHEN IT CAME TO TALK ABOUT ME AND WHY I WAS THERE THE O.G. CRIP SPEAKIN' THOUGHT HE WOULD PULL MY CARD 'CAUSE MY DRUNK RETARDED ASS PROBATION OFFICER "ROGER LaFLURE" HAD MY PAPERWORK CATEGORIZIN' ME AS A BLOOD AND THE O.G. WAS GONNA LET ME KNOW HOW I WOULDN'T MAKE IT SO I INTERUPPTED HIM AND TOLD HIM MY P.O. GOT ME TWISTED AND THAT HE WAS SPEAKIN' TO A NORTENO AND NOT A BLOOD. AT THAT POINT HE BACKED OFF AND LET A VETERAN HOMEBOY STEP IN, TAKE ME ASIDE AND SPEAK TO ME FOR A WHILE TO SEE WHERE I WAS COMIN' FROM AND HE SEEN WHERE MY HEART WAS AT AND IN A WAY VOUCHED FOR MY YOUNG ASS, SO THE REST OF THE TRIP WHICH WAS TWO DIFFERENT SATURDAYS I WAS LEFT BE AND ONLY HE LACED ME UNLIKE MOST THE OTHER FOOLS THEY EITHER HAD CRYIN' OR BREAKIN' DOWN. THAT IS THERE JOB THO', TO HAVE YOU BREAKIN' DOWN.

IN TRACY IT WAS ALMOST THE SAME THING EXCEPT SOME ARYAN WAS TALKIN' HOW I WAS GONNA GET IT AND HOW THEY WERE RUNNIN' THINGS IN WHICH 'CAUSED ANOTHER VETERAN HOMEBOY TO STEP IN AND TOLD HIM HANDS OFF AND SPOKE TO ME AND BROKE IT DOWN. COME TO FIND OUT HIS CELLY WAS A HOMEBOY THAT WAS WHITE WHICH DISCREDITED EVERYTHING THE NAZI WAS TRYIN' TO SCARE ME WITH.

WHEN I TURNED EIGHTEEN AND STARTED HITTIN' COUNTY JAIL OFF AND ON I ALREADY KNEW A GRIP OF HOMEBOYZ FROM THE STREETS SO EVEN THO' I WAS TESTED A LIL' HARDER THAN USUAL BY OLDER HOMEBOYZ, MY NAME WAS VALIDATED BY MANY HOMEBOYZ 'CAUSE THATS ALL I RAN WITH, PUT IN WORK WITH AND LIVED AMONGST.

BASICALLY, WHEN YOU TOUCH DOWN THE REAL HOMEBOYZ GONNA SEE RIGHT THROUGH AND KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT 'CAUSE THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH THE SHIT YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

HOWEVER, YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND I'M AN EXCEPTION. I MADE THE CUT YEARS AGO AND I'VE BEEN THROUGH TOO MUCH IN THIS LIFE TO EVER CONSIDER MYSELF ANYTHING OTHER THAN A NORTENO. UNFORTUNATELY, THE FACT THAT I AM MOSTLY IRISH AND STATE THE FACT THAT I AM A NORTENO IN MY MUSIC, I FEEL ALOT OF WHITE YOUNGSTAZ THINK IT AUTOMATICALLY OPENS UP THE DOOR FOR THEM TO CHOOSE TO RIDE FOR THE NORTE. WHICH IS NOT THE CASE. THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND IF THEY HAVEN'T ATLEAST GROWN UP WITH HOMEBOYZ THAT HAVE FAMILY ROOTS UP IN THIS AND HAVE A TRUE UNDERSTANDING OF WHATS GOIN' ON WITHOUT HAVING TO GO AND ASK QUESTIONS THEY SHOULD JUST LEAVE IT ALONE.

damn i feel you on that shit right there, i noticed a lot out here, when i first moved to tha 925, you first started gettin popular with your music then i noticed a lot of white peepz started bangin that shit, tha majoirty of nortenos i seen in antioch are white so i dont know, but like you said woodie, growin up with family/boys ect. that have roots is different yanno

 

[Big Teflon]

IN THIS PLACE IT WASN'T SCARED STRAIGHT.THEY DIDN'T WANT TO USE THE INTIDIMIDATION FACTOR HERE THO'.IN A WAY THEY STILL DID A BIT' THO'.THE PEOPLE THAT HIT ME UP WERE SOUTHERNERS.THEY WERE TALKIN' SHIT TO ME AND I WAS LIKE "WHATEVER YA KNO',THINK WHAT YOU WANT TO THINK,IF YOU WANT TO THINK I AM A NORTHERNER,THEN LET THAT BE IN YOUR MIND."

THEY HAVE ME CATEGORIZED AS A NORTENO.BUT FOR THE WRONG REASONS.I WAS WALKIN' THROUGH THE PARKIN' LOT WIT' A HOMEBOY THAT WAS A NORTENO.HE WAS WEARIN' RED AND I WAS WEARIN' A RED SHIRT.AND SO THEY PULLED US OVER AND WERE LIKE,"I THOUGHT WE TOLD YA TO STOP WEARIN' RED?",THEY WAS TALKIN' TO MY BOY,AND SO THEY TOOK MY PHOTO AND SHIT.

IF IT CAME DOWN TO IT,I WOULD MOST LIKELY KICK IT WIT' THA NORTHERNERS YA KNO'.

I AM REALY LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T CATCH A 25-LIFE SENTENCE.IF THE KID WAS HIT 2 MORE TIMES HE WOULD HAVE DIED.AND IN CALIFORNIA THEY ARE HANDIN' OUT LIFE SENTENCES LIEK THEY ARE NOTHIN'.

 

[Al-Kaholik]

I've always wondered what prisons actually like...i've only seen the hollywood version of prison and we all know hollywood usually doesn't make things accurate, I saw the original scared straight and they were punkin those kids hella hard...I remember when they made that kid put his hand in that inmates pocket...me and my homie were hella baked rollin at that shit.

 

[Big Teflon]

PRISON IS WAY DIFFERENT THAN THE MOVIES AND I WAS ONLY THERE FOR A DAY.FUCK LIVIN' THERE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE MAN.

 

[Al-Kaholik]

Did shit look as brutal as i've heard it is?

 

[Big Teflon]

NO FIGHTS STARTED OR NOTHIN' WHILE I WAS THERE BUT THE STORIES THEY WERE TELLIN' WERE PRETTY BRUTAL.

 

[gambinoxfelonz]

prison

PRISON IS WAY DIFFERENT THAN THE MOVIES AND I WAS ONLY THERE FOR A DAY.FUCK LIVIN' THERE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE MAN.

im a put it like this i spent 41 months and 11 dayz up in that beotch. you really got's to be a soilder to surive along with the physical drama you need to worry about. it's also mind games. like wood said alot of people jump on the norte bang wagon. Me i been down for from the hall to the penn and back again. there's alot of cats out here that say they ride but in there they claim there christian or indian.. then they get out bangin why is that!!!

 

[AnthonyCG]

I'm half italian/ half mexican. The first time I ever got busted I was 17 I went into the hall with a good homeboy of mine and he vouched for me so the homeboys didn't really trip i had to work a little harder. When they shipped me to preston I was sent with a couple of homeboys that I had met there and it was all good. Last time I went to county it was still all good. I never really had any problems because of my race its all about what is ~N~ your heart. I saw a whole variety of muthafuckas get rolled up, whites, indians, mexicans, blacks. You have to watch your choices and your actions.

 

[YOUNG VILLAIN]

THE PROGRAM OUT HERE IS RAN BY "REACH" CALLED "SQUIRES". ITS NOT REALLY A SCARED STRAIGHT THANG. ITS SUPPOSED TO BE MORE "EDUCATION". BUT ITS CLOSE TO THE SAME THING. FUCK THAT PROGRAM. AND FUCK REACH. BUT FIRST AND FOREMOST FUCK ANTIOCH POLICE. I DONT THINK I TOLD ANY OF THE HOMIEZ HERE BUT I WAS ARRESTED WITH FELONY WEAPONS CHARGES. IT WAS SOME STUPID SHIT REALLY. I WAS SUPPOSEDLY DOING A DRUG DEAL. WHICH WAS STRAIGHT UP BULLSHIT CAUSE THEY DIDNT EVEN SEARCH OTHER FOOL.
ANYWAY, WHEN I WAS IN THE HALL IN MARTINEZ. I WAS ONLY IN THERE FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND THEN CHARGES WERE DROPPED. BUT DURING THE TIME I WAS IN THERE I WAS ACCEPTED BY HOMEBOYZ. WAS NEVER TOLD I DIDNT BELONG. IT IS MORE WHATS -N- YOUR HEART.

I DUNNO ABOUT MOST NORTENOS IN 925 BEING WHITE. IVE KICKED IT WITH A LOT OF LATINO/HISPANIC HOMEBOYZ, ALONG WITH SOME OTHER DOWN WHITE ONES, SHIT EVEN A FEW BLACK ONES. BUT THERE IS A LOT OF LATINO HOMEBOYZ IVE KICKED IT WITH.

THE ONLY OTHER TIME IVE BEEN LOCKED UP WAS IN COUNTY HOSPITAL PSYCH WARD AS A 5150. SOME CRAZY ASS PEOPLE IN THERE. LOL

 

[YOUNG VILLAIN]

AND BIG TEFLON I THOUGHT YOU WERE MEXICAN HOMIE??

 

[Big Teflon]

I AM,I LOOK WHITE HOMEBOY.

 

[LOOTER oF tHE NEW CHURCH]

side note: being "Latin" or "Hispanic" doesnt mean a whole lot to many Mexican people in general... they would rather have you just be white in many cases because there is alot of hatred amongst Latin's in general based on whether they have Salvadorean, Puerto Rican, Columbian, Cuban, Spanish, Mexican roots etc. I am not this way because I don't stress the brown pride to begin with, but there are many people who are like that.

 

[BIG REESE LOC1]

Yea, I went to the SQUIRES program @ Quentin back in 1990-91 (one of them years I forgot, I still have my card too!!) Thats the same program Woodie is speakin on also, been in place there since the late 70's

 

[FC ENE]

I went to corcoran for the scared straight program. Like the badass I thought I was I went in repping the Norte. I mean I wore a UNLV shirt and shoes with red laces. biggest mistake I think I could of mad I mean I knew I couldnt wear a solid red shirt but I wanted to rep what I was. ENE ways when I was walking by the cells some scrap grabed my shirt and started saying that his block was all southern controlled started yelling some gang shit. guards jumped in b4 he smashed on me. Like a dumb fuck I started calling him on and calling him sewrata so the guards dragged me out telling me that they cant wait till I turn 18 so I get killed in there. Fuck those CO's, now that I look back I looked stupid but thats how I was in that scared straight. When we went to the NORTHERN side that shit was lovely I saw my tio in their couldnt tell him whats up but he was supposed to be my mentor or what ever, and he just told me what he could how it is in there. My homie went in the scared straight shit last year and he said that it wasnt that bad cuz enes and scraps were on locked down.
