He was respected and respectful because he understood and lived by the convict code to be respected by convicts you basically have to become one mentally Which is profound
Great interview Ian. You don't see guards or cops like this guy anymore. Michael is a great guy.
Thanks so much!!
This guy is Over exaggerating, just a little bit.I worked in prisons in the 80s in Texas, the worst of the worst.It was nothing like how this guy is explaining it
🐀🐀🐀🐀
This isn't just one of the best videos you've done, this is one of the best interviews I've seen, period. Super interesting perspective.
Thank you so much
His was absolutely the best interview ever! Definitely need more OG prison guards like this Michael on!! Thanks for the awesome interview!
The infamous Caran Fromhold Correctional Facility CFCF 😂 I can relate because I was there it’s nothing nice
Need a part 2 Ian, legit genuine dude, great interview
Excellent interview. Thanks to you and your guest.
I agree , as a former correction officer I too believe all police officers should have to spend a couple of years in corrections before policing. Gives a whole different prospective not to mention half or more would not make 1 month
The county I live in to get out on the road all cops have to spend a minimum of a year working at the jail.
The future cops should do at least 2-3 years as a prison guard and to start your police career you should be put in the cities first than work to your retirement in a small town.
@@lunsy9420that’s actually great. I’m a big advocate for that cause they hopefully won’t abuse their power as much.
You have to do 2 years as a co before you can become a sheriff here in our local county
@@lunsy9420 was it Alabama. They do the same
I actually work with Smitty at his “dream job”. He runs our boxing gym and is as real as it gets. Good dude, honest, humble, proud, and a funny MFer. But I wouldn’t want to fight him 😂. Great interview. See you tomorrow brother 😂.
Yeah
Smitty is awesome, god bless Michael Smith!
Really really good interview keep them coming! 💪🔥🔥
Thank you!!!
This is a great interview!!
Brilliant podcast
This guy is a top man,
Thank you
That time flew by
Bring him back Ian
I watch all your videos and I am a huge fan. This was the best interview and most relatable to me. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so so much!
Nice interview, keep them coming
Me and Burt Cooper were roommates in drug rehab back in the 90s called bowling green...
This guy is great! Thanks Smitty
Worked right across the street from CFCF for a couple years and catered to the LEO/MILITARY/first responders community around there and I used hear the craziest stories everyday
Thanks for your service
Holmesburg,NE !!! Thanks for taking care of the streets and the Men the right way.
27 years as a NYS prison guard. Retired 10 years ago - this interview brought me back on the job. Funny how many prisons are almost exactly the same down to the block letters representing the worst blocks. I can relate to just about every story Michael told.
This dude is as real as it gets God bless his soul, 🙏
GREAT INTERVIEW 💪🏼 🇺🇸
Best one yet
Oh yeah we need a part 2
This guy is AWESOME!! What a great guy!!
55:37 it comes from the old Coast guard Barracks in Cape May N.J.
Graterford was no joke. Mad respect for this dude. Salute from the P 🫡💯
Being a CO definitely humbles you 100% true statement.
Best episode yet.
Thank you!!
🙌🏻🙌🏻
If anyone ever puts together "Locked In Bingo," I'm 99% certain that the free space in the center should be "Gladiator School." 😆
It wouldn't be a free space then lol
It’s very easy to gain your respect in any facility if you know what you’re doing you gotta know what you’re doing
This is the Philadelphia version of dropkick Murphy!
The sponsor videos are so cringy it nearly ruins the content
Stop being a cry baby
Great interview Ian ! Bring Schmidty back and IF you come to Philly make sure he chaperones you.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽! I Pa. Born and raised about an hour outside Philly. don’t fly either I flew to Memphis and my doctor prescribed me some zanex two on the flight down and two for the flight home! I can drive 14 16 hours but I won’t fly for 20 minutes
Yet Another 👍🏼👍🏼🔥💯
What a stand up guy. His stories sure sound like stuff from Oz. You must watch Ian! Ain’t an easy watch. Hardcore but excellent.
I'm with you on the flying my man. The only planes I've been on is when I was being transported by the feds. I even told them I wasn't gettin' on the plane(for a few mins). I asked for something to make me sleep and everything... I got on the plane(twice with them), but never will I willingly. I understand how you feel!!
M. Smith could watch the program "Mayday". I think the Tenerife accident (Pam Am/KML) story is really interesting.
Great sit down northeast Philly boul told it like it was
This is the first heart felt guard interview. Big respect this man.
Hes pretty solid
I thought for a minute that was Domenick Lombardozzi.
You gotta be genuine but NOT a pushover
I love your unique personality Ian and I love Smitty..wanna buy him a Case of Irish Whiskey
Ian you do NOT want to come to Philly 😂😂😂 Geesus ! Maybe visit Bucks County.
CFCF D2-2. 2001
Place was serious.
So this is who Jay Williams Lets Live Life be talking about
This guy needs to write a book and audio read it could listen to this man until the cows came home
2nd and Jackson here!!
I know a lot of people that have been in CFCF. They say it's one of tge most violent jail around
Standup guy ! realises respect is a two way street.
see he got out his xs shirt for the interview
This guy seems genuine,but I can't help thinking back to that Sally Jessy show when everyone believed that Mafia cop scumbag lying his ass off and everyone thinking he was a hero... I hope I'm wrong because I do like this guy
Forgive this question if the answer should be obvious. Smitty said that someone had told him who had taken his cigarettes. Wasn’t that guy a snitch? Are there acceptable snitches or not, and how do you know the difference?
OG sounds like Vinny Paz
Facts
This boy is built like a Middle Linebacker..
Excuse me fella you want to get to the interview……geesh 😮
I was in 3 sci's in pa...also berks county jail..some stuff he says is half true....pa jail system isn't that bad compared to other states
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💯💯💯
Hey Bick get this guy Paul Montana on asap
How about clean the prison up and the guards actually protect the weak. Half the corruption going on in prisons takes s place because the guards look the other way. If they can’t do their job for what ever reason, find another way to make a living. If it’s an animal house inside….. then it sounds like administrative and guard staff allowing this crap.
In my opinion this guy has Caveman syndrome ! He said no child predator in his block? A true professional is there to do a job and should be mature enough to do his job with out his personal opinion effecting his job! And allowing inmates to fight is not a type of an officer I would want around!! Liability waiting to happen! Just for the new corrections officers out there trust me you can gain respect with out going into a cell and fighting!!
Cfcf is a brutal place
I miss prison.
It's never too late to come back
@@alexbanker9355 just waiting for the right one, to make it all worth it.
Good reason to treat people right and be a good person. Many are out here like me.
@@alexbanker9355 I will when I find a worth it.
@@alexbanker9355 Just looking for my huckleberry then Im goin in
😅You miss the 🍇 jelly.😅 🥗🥗🥗👅👅👅🍆🍆🍆🍑🍑🍑🦄🌈☄️
okay we get it about the Cheech and Chong
800 pushups in 20 minutes? BS. I spent 9 years in Army combat arms, and there were a lot of PT studs…. back in the 90s, the max for pushups (to get 100 points) was 82 perfect pushups; i saw a person break the 85 pushups mark a few times. i never saw anyone ever break 100 .
And we worked out 1 - 2 hours every day.
SMITTY is a great guy Great interview and I never want to meet a “booty bandit” 😳
You know?.... right? x ♾️
Get dat man some water 😭😭😭
Real life Mike from Breaking Bad.
You’re right!!
Back when proson was just like he described it.
Now its full of rat inmates & pusay guards
👍
Smithy was a horse. Don't let him fool you.
lol
You can't rat and You can't snitch? Yet you're a Police Officer upholding the law? Right is Right.. and Wrong is Wrong goes for everyone!
This guy wouldn't be doing that in a California prison being locked up is very depressing in the last thing you want is a guard joking around with you.. yeah I'm out!
A few things every prison is called Gladiator School and what do you think this guy went in every fight and beat the s*** out of every guy
Do you really need him to explain what a "cell thief" is???
800 push ups in 20 minutes?…
How do you find the people you interviewed? I am the truth. 🔥 🔥 🔥
Not that difficult these people are every day people nothing too interesting !
Crazy how prisoners are programming in different states. I woukd have never guessed that booty bandits would even be able to be alive in Philly. I can only speak on Texas : In TDC any cat with a sex case on his jacket would be dealt with immediately by his own people. And trust that the guards would throw them to the wolves even before they hit the facility.

Never ever give any type of power to inmates over other inmates!! You lose credibility!! And shows weakness! That tells other inmates you need help from inmates to do your job!!
You were a Sqaured Away CO. You got that from your pops..
ATLANTIC CITY NJ PRISON. I'VE BEEN TO FDC IN PHILLY TOO. PLEASE GET WITH ME
Youre no Mr T
He is full of shit about the pushups
THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I KNOW TO MAKE YOU SEE ME JUST KEEP POSTING COMMENTS. IT WILL BE A GREAT SHOW I PROMISE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Never heard of the Nation of Islam spoke of in this way. Every institution I’ve ever been to the nation was the most civilized group by far.
Need to upgrade your bs meter!
I believe basically nothing said on this podcast 😂
IAN I'M TRYING TO GET YOUR ATTENTION. I DON'T KNOW HOW ELSE TO DO IT BUT BE PERSISTENT. GET WITH ME I HAVE 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Can buddy swallow any louder
Welcome back to Catholicism Christian Brother..Mad Dog Sweeney
You can be anyone you want to be on SM. One minute he is telling you nothing is for free, next he ask the shot caller to do him favors.
I worked in prisons for 16 years the first day till the end I walked up to the shot caller and explained, I was now the Boss. That’s how I did it every place I went.
Everyone has a story and tells it how they interpret it.
Dumbest question I have heard this week….”have you thought about starting your own channel”. Should have asked the leprechaun where the gold is.
800 Push-ups in 20 mins. Hmmm
9:44 he said “I’m walking in there as a man, I’m gonna be walking out as a man..” 🙄 Okay dude. You’re a C.O.!! That’s something convicts say, usually referring to the possibility of getting “graped”, & their willingness to do anything to prevent that from happening.
That phrase is something he has heard an inmate say & he thought “that’s pretty cool, I think I’ll try saying that too from now on.” Nobody’s trying to grape a C.O. foo.
Not saying he’s a goofy guy, but it was a goofy moment when he said that.
