It’s kinda funny that I am just now coming across these videos. I am a current employee of LCF and find it very interesting to see an inside perspective that we don’t normally get when talking to the population 🤔 keep up the good work and stay strong 😊
Thank you! I am glad you enjoy the videos. Yeah, usually giving officers an inside perspective is usually frowned upon 😂. I was in Lansing for a little bit. It can be off the chain sometimes. Stay safe and thank you for watching.
Well hell, my uncle is still there 😂. The tomorrow 2/15/24 marks a year since I’ve been home. Everything you’re saying man is 100%%% but man, you gotta get some new glasses man! After rdu I went to lansing behind the walls a2 321 was my first cell there… shitty evil place! Did 6 years. From the time I was 17 to 23. I’m glad I’ve seen what I’ve seen, done what I’ve done and lived how I did to live how I do. You live and learn. Thanks for sharing
El Dorado was only that way cuz it was a low medium yard once it was Max 2017 SUR took enemies out I was there 2018 Sureño yard
It was low medium to max when I first got there in 09. They moved all the max out in 2010, but they still had high medium. Sureños are some of the toughest dudes in the system, no matter what state they're in. They just couldn't get enough guys on the yard to get traction while I was there. Good dudes though. I left in 2015.
I left from super max in 18 went home a lot of good homies left behind those walls free em all 🔵🔵🔵
Eric, very well done. You laid it out pretty thoroughly at least to the extent you could. The Lansing riot would probably make a very interesting video. Happy 4th of July. I am sure the 4th is a more special day to you because you understand what Freedom really means.
Thank you, Lewis. I've been thinking about the Lansing riot for a while. I'll make that video. I'm spending the Fourth with my family and friends. It's going to be a good one. I hope yours is awesome!
Great vid bud! I had never heard of asatru until I had seen your videos.
Glad you enjoyed it! Some of the Asatru are alright guys and treat it like a legit religion, but most of them run it like a gang. A lot of people in the free world who are into Norse paganism will have a rude awakening if they go to prison. In the prison system, you can't just wear a hammer on your neck. You have to earn it. If someone sees you with Norse tattoos or a hammer and you haven't put in work, you're screwed.
@@EricSwanson1 "NO I SWEAR IM JUST REALLY INTO BLACK METAL!" 🤣
Great video Eric! I’d love to hear about the riot you mentioned at the end there. Always bringing the 🔥 content brother! This was really interesting man, thanks!
Thank you, Pat! I hope all is well with you. I'll get to work on that video.
A video on the riot from the inside perspective would be very interesting. I wouldn't know whether to band up with my boys or hide away. Maybe it's a good time to settle old scores or try and raid the food stores (I shouldn't post while hungry). Cheers Eric!
Coming soon! In a riot like that, it's everyone vs the officers. Trying to hide away can be a tricky situation sometimes. If people see that you're not riding with them in a scenario like that, they tend to get pretty upset.
@@EricSwanson1 Ah yes, that makes a lot more sense. Someone not fighting might make them look like a rat! Looking forward to the video. Have a good one!
Wow! I didn’t know that gangs were broken down into such small “sects”? (Can I call it that?) You were talking about Fed versus State Prisons in another video. I live in Indiana about 2 hours away from USP Terre Haute. I have to pass that place every time I head to my parents house. That place is a fortress! I always know when I’m getting close to it because I start seeing the signs that say “Don’t pick up hitchhikers. Prison ahead.”
Respect from Kansas City
Much respect and love, man. Thank you for watching. Sometime when I'm in town, we ought to get a coffee or something.

I had a level 4 agg battery with hands. I went to edu hutch and learned min. Back to hutch max. Then interstate compact back to st.Louis 3 years papers
I was absolutely shocked when you said that the GD's were perhaps the most 'level headed' group in Kansas. That totally shocked me. In most places, the black gangs are the ones that don't follow any of the 'social rules' or prison politics and cause the most headaches. For example, in most places, they are the only gangs/groups that allow sex offenders into their ranks. They don't sweat their guys for having a boyfriend. Whereas, having a boy would get a white guy killed in most places. I am impressed. It sounds like all of the brighter black dudes ended up in Kansas. hehe.
Great video as always, Eric.
Yeah, it's a bit shocking honestly. One of the higher ups for the ABs in Kansas has a case. Look up Uriah Beckman from Fort Scott. That's one of the reasons they no longer call themselves the KAB. It's not uncommon for big time shot callers to have a boy or a case. The GDs do keep stuff pretty legit though.
Depends
@michaelr.4878 Not MOST places, but places you've been. I'm from NJ and none of the gangs here allow bad charge dudes to join anything
Great video man!
Awesome storytelling
Sounds like a crazy life behind bars. It's almost like you gotta be on guard 24/7. Life in the free world can be stressful but it seems worse in the prison system.
That's very true. You can't let your guard down. Every day there is an underlying awareness that things could go south very quickly. It's stressful to live with that day in and day out.
Nice video. Good topic.
Thank you, Kenneth!
Interesting. I don't think we have here any other gangs but Bandidos and other MCs.
We have a lot out here. I guess I forgot to mention the MCs, but there aren't as many. I think the biggest MCs out here are the Sons of Silence and the Galloping Goose.
Dope video! Wanna hear about those riots if you will. By chance were you locked up with someone named curtis?
Glad you enjoyed it! I'll try to have that video out within the next week. I did know a guy named Curtis. I had a cellmate named Curtis for a while.
@@EricSwanson1 oh for sure bro, I’ll be looking out for that noti! But wow what are the chances, that may have been my uncle
I was in hutch from 06 to 09 and with the mex it was laraza I wasn't affiliated so I was neutral
Aye I'm reaching out to you ask if I can come on ur podcast and talking about my experience in Kansas. I'm originally from California but did time In Kansas.. I've been riding Hut Lansing, Norton,and El Dorado.. #ErickSwanson
Thank you for reaching out. Shoot me a message over on Instagram. Sounds like you've been all over. I'd like to hear your story. There's a link to my instagram in the description of this video. Holler at me.
How’s it going, man? How was the storm recovery effort? Haven’t had a chance to check your channel recently.
It is going well. I'm still cutting a lot of brush, but for the most part we're back to normal.
And didn’t lose a fight in no piston I went to. they called me st.Louis
Did you know my cousin Victor Urrutia they called him Toro or Torrito... he was a shot caller for S.U.R(southern united raza)?
The name sounds familiar. Sureños weren't very common on the yard in El Dorado because it was a Norteño yard, but I want to say he was in the pit when I was out there a few times. Did he ever go by Cowboy?
@@EricSwanson1 yea i think so bro, he was in El Dorado, Lancing, and Hutch. Hes short and stocky but i think they called him cowboy to. He did 17 or 18 years hes been out about a year and half.
Yea i just asked him... he did go by Cowboy to.
I'm just thinking out loud but it's interesting how you probably have more principles than the average person who's never been to prison. Ironically, that's one of the ways in which you probably find it difficult to readjust to "normal life." Prison, it seems, has given you some clearly defined ethics and values which most of the world has lost.
I've thought about that a lot. Prison runs on principles, oddly enough. You don't have a lot of material things. How you carry yourself defines you. Integrity, loyalty, respect and things like that go a long way in prison. They don't seem to be as valued in the free world.
What Native gangs are there in the Kansas system?
I used to be friends with gang members, I never recruited myself into one but I would watch them get them into fist fights on the streets and I sit and watch
Unfortunately, it's not as entertaining in prison. Fights usually mean a lot of mace is about to be sprayed in the area. I like my lungs, lol.
Turned 21 in the thunderdome behing the walls at hutch seen somebody die cut em all up he had blood coming out his eyes ears i cant think about it without crying it was very pivitol i still have nightmares about being stuck in a tiny cell and somebody will come with a broomstick shank and theres no where you can go youre stuck like a fish on a barrel i wake up crying from nightmares that i cant remember im not no punk either i been in and out of jail my whole life and o think thats how i made it out of there alive
There was no white people at hutch either they sent them all to Colorado because they were stabbing too many people Hutchinson behind the walls has a no hands policy that means that if there is any beef your getting the bangers out because fist fighting will get you violated and probably stabbed up by your fellow gang members
Whip! I lost you on here, I hit the wrong thing, I’m still not good at this tech. Instead of checking wanna be’s on here you could of been helping me and Bull cut and carry willows. The last ones are the seventh lodge. Thats seven lodges and almost 75 lbs of sage and cedar.
Pulled 28 before this came for me. Been out five. Life is good.
You're right about the points in the security that's why they have me red flagged in the federal databases I didn't even know nothing about that until me and Amy got pulled over in Arizona I was doing 5 mph over the speed limit and they had guns out on a Tomatoes go through the whole routine place in the fingers backing up kneeling down laying on the hot pavement Palms up. For the rest of my life what pops up in every state on there computer says loan prison gang member extremely violent and dangerous and even though I am not that person anymore now that I know that I'm in that red flag system keep my hands on the wheel will I move very carefully because they don't know who I am now and they want to go home to their families so I don't give them any reason whatsoever to get nervous I say yes ma'am yes sir no ma'am no sir and I usually have no problems whatsoever all they know is what pops up on the computer they don't know nor have they seen the changes in me so I got out in 1994 and they want to go home to their families at the end of their shift so I just don't give them any reason whatsoever to get nervous
You was in Norton wasn't you?
Keen to hear about riots
I stood alone and I’m from st.louis
What umbrella did the vlb from Wichita fall to I would think sd because that’s what they are but they also represent the north
@@keeta341972 ya sd
Hey did you ever know Steve Somerville? Swastika Steve?
I heard of a dude named Swastika Steve, but I don't think we were ever introduced. I'm really bad with names though. I'm better with faces.
Have you ever done time with any Topeka people?
In earlier videos you said you stood on your own . And now your saying you are an inactive member .
I was incarcerated from 2007 to 2018. I didn't join until 2016 and I had a reason for doing so. It definitely wasn't because I needed help. One of my childhood friends joined a gang. His family had asked me to keep an eye on him while he was in El Dorado. I got involved so I could keep him out of shit. I couldn't be privy to anything going down as a nonmember. To know what he was involved in, I had to join.
What happens to convicted rapists in KDOC? In your experience
what about bikers? do they join gangs, stay with the MC or roll solo..?
Good question. There usually aren't enough bikers for them to stay with the MC on the inside, at least in Kansas. Some of them join gangs, but some of them fly solo. It all depends on what the mentality of the individual is. Thank you for the question.
Is an Asatru gang comparable to Odinism, at least in prisons? I knew of someone who was practicing Odinism, but I'm wondering now if he was in an Odinist gang. And when I had read up on Odinism in prisons, it said something about it being a white surpremist group. Do you know anything about this kind of thing? I don't think he was in a Kansas prison, so I don't know if it is something you are familiar with.
I will try to share an understanding with you…Asatru is a spiritual/religious belief. It is a chosen path to believe, respect, and pray in the old ways….one of those beliefs is that you, as a warrior, will defend and protect (in prison) your brothers, there is no Asatru “gang”. It’s brothers protecting brothers….fighting for the protection and preservation of those who share your beliefs….I am not Asatru.
@@williamhorton273 oh I see. Thank you for that clarification.
@@sherabee I did 28 years there, at times they were my adversaries, I learnt to understand and respect them.
@@williamhorton273 do you know randy Thomas
name seems familiar, but can't say I know him
Why can't the high up can't get a grip on this stuff I think it is aloud
Good question, but I'm afraid I don't have the answer.
Kcmo 💯
Eyyyyyyy!!!!!!
Hey man, how's it going?
It's goin man. Work and sleep. Can't complain. Hope you have an awesome 4th of July weekend. Always looking forward to the uploads my guy.
Do you know randy Thomas
its me
First again! You never sleep, lol.
@@EricSwanson1 I watch all your stuff bro. you are someone I can relate to.
Is DMI in Kansas? ABs get smashed in Maryland period this is common knowledge
I don't think so, or at least I never heard of them. I guess the ABs out here lost their charter, because they don't call themselves that anymore.
✔
What if somebody said I dont want a fucking patch.. That is what boyscouts do
That probably wouldn't go over very well.
Boy Scouts don’t do what it takes to get that “patch”
Lol this a bunch of bulljive some of it is accurate but some of it you sound like you ain't ever been on no Kansas yard
