I was sent to USP Atlanta back in the 80’s, right after the Cuban riot at the prison. I was a first time offender for possession of marijuana ( not with intent to sell, if you can believe that, but for simple possession) and for not cooperating with the feds. They said as a first time non violent offender, I could go to a plush prison camp, with no walls, except that I must snitch. Well, I knew I was only facing a few years so I decided to keep my mouth shut which pissed off the DEA, and BAM!, they sent me to Atlanta. When I got there the place still looked like a war zone from the riot and living was a little rough. Many cell blocks had no glass in the windows, no running water, plumbing barely worked, chow hall destroyed. They guards let us take pretty much whatever we wanted to cook over campfires. So we hunkered down for the winter and did the best we could. Spring came and it became much warmer and we thrived. The guards never bothered us and we stayed out on the yard most of the day and half the night. I had good times and learned alot about myself. I never had any problems with anyone except one particular nutjob from Dallas. I taught him some manners and never had another issue. Sometimes I miss USP Atlanta. I was 28, now 65. Never went to jail after that and became a successful father and husband ( I crack down on my son and grandson. I won’t tolerate wrongdoing with my kids and grandkids 😊). I saw terrible things but I think it’s all up to the individual. Play stupid games in prison and you’ll get your just reward. It’s what YOU make it.
My brother did 27 years there his name was Robert Lee Lane maybe you know him they called him shag got out July 2016 clemency president Obama love ❤️ that he made it home 🏠 glory to God
I’m sorry for your loss brother. A lot of our brother, and sister didn’t make it out and some of us have been down so long that when we do get out they don’t live long on the streets.
Well i did almost 8 years in a low and some camps. It wasn't scary at all but my freedom was gone. I was middle manning some sh!t and you already know how that turned out for me. But it's a 🙏🏾 blessing you and your brother made it through. So stay focus and stay bless. ✌🏾
It's really, really hard to tell or teach these young people some wisdom. Oh! But if your a rapper talking about pills, they will listen all day. Facts
@@albertsonnycampbell6641I love these kinds of reunions, wishing both of y’all brothers nothing but peace and prosperity in yalls future endeavors. The Feds play super dirty w indictments nowadays as well, as I’m sure you all know. That conviction rate been so high for so long that it’s emboldened them even more to run wild on whoever they want, literally whenever they want. And these kids seeing the same tricks n games the Feds playing that we see, yet they STILL tell on themselves on social media. They building more and more prisons countrywide so the government HOPING our youth continue w the BS.
USP Atlanta looks cold and miserable. I have never seen anyone came in or out. You can still see the old warden house on the property. The USP sat in the hood right next to 4 seasons. A now gentrified Atlanta yes but that prison sits front and center. It is not hidden down some winding road. The city wants you to see it. Wants you to know they will send you there.
Facts! Growing up I was going to 4 seasons damn near every weekend cause we had folks that stayed over there. On the ride over there we always rode past USP Atlanta and all I remember as a jit was how big it looked.
Just watched this. Wow. You came across really well. Your face said it all when you said thats where you got sent to. That must have pushed you to the limit. You look in good shape today and are clearly mentally strong to have gone through that system. Best of luck to you. Ive subscribed.
I remember growing up on that side of town from being over my aunt house in Richmond oak’s apartment that sat behind the prison and Englewood manor and trestle tree village. We drove by it every day and my mom used to always say that’s where we would end up if we don’t listen to them.
I Did 12 Years And Spent 9 Of Those Years There In Atlanta Penitentiary...It Was A Hella Experience...Slept On All 3 Floors In A -Unit...Never Again...
Sonny my man. This Blue from Savannah. Junior co-defendant. We were in Atlanta with you and Sweet. Glad to see you back out. We’re out now as well and working. Just shared the video with Junior. Holler back brother.
USP Atlanta is a creepy looking building for sure. And the houses that is on it's property that is decaying does not help its appearance. Its a sight one will never forget.
Came through ATL pen in transit. 2 man cells had 4 people in it. They gave you a mat and you found a spot on floor. Wild spot. I left Lewisburg Pen 2 years prior was on way to FCI. Got to ATL they black box me just cause I was from DC. Never been black box nowhere else my entire 9 in..
I went thru there twice in transit and the first time going there when we came around the corner where the cemetery was and I saw the USPS on the left I said holy shit what have I got myself into but I was only in transit or the holdover thank God it wasn't as bad but I remember having to go to medical and they had to make sure all inmates at USP were cleared in the hall ways but ya it was a spooky ass place
I remember seeing railroad tracks coming in the yard I saw from a window while going to medical and found out the tracks were out there when Al Capone was brought there then they built the stone wall but left the tracks there
Nothing he said went together. He made 200 statements about 200 different things but he claimed not to know what was going on and not to know certain people. This seems to be a common theme amongst inmates. Feigning ignorance, yet still ending up with decades long sentences
Yea we all have stories i was at graterford prison as guard walking you to your block inmates fighting over your fate and who goona have control of you first thing i did was buy homemade wack and i became first rate surgeon
Not the ones in SC. S@!t use to be like a vacation but no so much now. Tax payers got tired of paying for trips. So now I heard that they actually try to run them like a real prison
That’s ironic that you said that brother! There was a guard that was a preacher, he called me to his desk and said, “what are you doing in here…you’re not supposed to be here!”
@@TommyTomTompkins Thank you brother, this is a confirmation that I'm keeping my promise to God... In coming out to positively impart the community that I onced helped to destroy.
Why did he think a prison was the Hyatt regency? I bet he and his brother was 2 of the biggest snitches in there trying to make their circumstances better. Telling on errrrrrrrrrrbody
There's no such thing as an Atlanta penitentiary. SMH I guess you just used Atlanta for the clicks. But I'ma assume you meant a Georgia prison. Brunswick is not Atlanta SMH. Stop trying to use Atlanta for clicks. My bad the federal prison is in Atlanta and that's it. But he said Brunswick.
I did nearly four years in USP Atlanta. It’s not a USP anymore, I believe it’s a medium institution, but in 1997 when my brother and I was housed there, our case is out of Brunswick Ga. We were in Glen County jail. Please fact-check sir. Peace.
@@kevinlester5167 Thanks brother. One whould find out that the penal system is a world of it's on, when something isn't true, we who live or have lived that that space, knows the facts.

It used to have a reason in times past
This is exactly how I felt being in downtown Atlanta late last weekend

Thats a fact USP looks like a castle or dungeon.. old dark brick hallways smh
I've heard a lot of guys talk about USP Atlanta. Was that the scariest you've been in?
Absolutely

We can’t make this up, it was and felt dangerous

When did you get there, I was transferred in 2000. Were you there when Willie Scott was the warden?
Much love to you bro.
Same to you brother
I remember seeing railroad tracks coming in the yard I saw from a window while going to medical and found out the tracks were out there when Al Capone was brought there then they built the stone wall but left the tracks there
True
Did you know a cat name Rodney Chism when you were there?
Yup that was my boy 😂😂
It’s been so long. I often see people and even if I knew that on the streets and didn’t recognize them, I be thinking what prison I meet him at
Chism was his nickname? If so I know him. He was on DCH-1. Bald older with a beard?
I dealt in my work with many men who came out of Atlanta Penitentiary.
