      I stumbled across these videos some time ago. While I’ve never served time, I was an officer in VADOC, and served a year at a Level 3 prison. I then served for a year at a city jail. I miss the work. I enjoy these bare bones, tell it like it is videos. I’d be thrilled to answer any questions from an officer standpoint from anyone. I always treated folks with respect. After I got out of that line of work, I was glad I did, whenever I’d be out shopping and hear someone shout out “Officer Dyer!”

    When I was a CO, we got word that a snitch and punk was coming to our cell block. My offenders were PISSED and told me they were going to make sure he didn't stay there long. I remember telling them "don't get stupid and don't put your hands on him". I never did find out the details of how they did it (for obvious reasons) but they managed to make him do something to go to seg just to get out of there. You should do a video specifically for all the aspiring CO's out there about what respect between the cops and offenders looks like, how to earn it, and how to keep it. I saw too many CO's that tried to be billy bad ass and they had the HARDEST time getting even the simplest compliance. They never seemed to understand that we were doing time right along with the inmates and that they had the ability to make our time hard or easy.

    I did a lot of time in a max prison in Texas. Never had or wanted a punk even though I was doing big time. It was around and since I was "connected", there were many propositions, just wasn't my thing. My relationships broke down into four categories, friends, business partners, acquaintances, and short timers. I had two or three friends at a time, one of whom I would get moved in as my celly. I had business partners, some of whom I didn't like that much, but who were serious, not just about making money but also not getting caught. Acquaintances were the guys you knew from your cell block, worked with, played handball or worked out with on the yard. Short timers were the guys I never even bothered to learn their names.

Having worked at Scotland Yard for many years find your experiences very informative. The old saying no honour among thieves is wrong. You probably have no respect for people like myself but I have to say I really respect the things that you have suffered and the fact that it sure has made you a better person and yes people can change, not everyboby but you surely have. Keep up the memories. You can be told what to say, what to do but never what to think.

Man what I got from him from a WWII guy was priceless. He fought hand to hand with a Nazi just like in "Saving Private Ryan" and he along with all my other 80+ male lovers never, ever wanted to see the movie "Saving Private Ryan" and "all" said "I've seen that shit before and I do not want to see it again". WWII guys might have a lot in common with you.

[8] If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. [9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.[10] If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” So by scripture you are a liar and the truth is not in you.

    So I only recently found your channel. First off, I’m so glad that you’re so vocal & fighting for human rights! Especially prison & criminal justice reform! I did 2 yrs myself in a state prison. I didn’t endure hardly anything compared to you fortunately! But I appreciate all of your hard work & videos. I myself am a gay male but my time in jail & prison I didn’t come out to anyone. A couple of cellies figured me out but they were cool about it and never said anything more about it. But I was mostly afraid to come out because I didn’t want to be a “punk”. Sure I would’ve LOVED to fool around with some of the attractive guys I did time with. But I’m not the type of guy that will fight. So trying to defend my ass from big scary ugly bubba didn’t sound like a lot of fun. Now that I’m out I sometimes wish I would’ve been open and might’ve had some fun with some of those really hot guys, I wouldn’t even have charged for anything lol. My favorite part of prison was the group showers lol. I was at a camp so it was dorm style and open showers. I’d always wait until the guys came in from the rec yard to shower. I’d always try to get to the middle shower head so I’d have three hot guys to the left and three to the right lol. Not worth going back for though! 😆
