i haven’t watched in a while, and wow this episode is awesome. what a great gentleman this man is. thank you both for this podcast. i believe you are changing lives with every word you speak. thank you.
very much enjoyed this episode. never been to prison, but have been to county quite a few times over a 12 year addiction. there arent enough CO's like that out there.
GREAT INTERVIEW IAN
This guy is way more eloquent than one might imagine most COs to be. Wouldn't be surprised if the exposure from this interview opens up new opportunities for him.
Not all CO’s are bad.
@@snox90km Absolutely agree.
@@snox90kmthat is true at my home county jail.. there was this younger African American c.o. no older than 25 and he was from the same hood the same city the jail was in... he was cool as could be all his brothers eithier were in prison or currently had been and he just ssaid. He was trying to go a different route and being a c.o. was easy money until he finished community college/found a better GOOD job But he knew he had to keep a clean criminal record to reach those goals. He let us do whatever as long as it wasn't dangerous and would talk to us for hrs. And even knew alot of the same ppl. We did being our age.. 💯 never heard from him after I got released hope he reached his goals successfully!
Awesome podcast Ian! Keep em coming!
Thanks so much!
Another great podcast in the books!
amazing interview/conversation
Thanks bro
What a great guy…I enjoyed the interview
Greetings from the Netherlands 🙋🏼♀️🤩
I have +22 years OTJ. This guy pretty much gets it. Great perspective.
Great podcast as usual ❤also love the trashers jersey. Now his story was awesome 👏
Thanks so much!!
That documentary on netflix was 🔥! Best out of the series fo sho!
My respect for this brother working behind the wall.. god bless
Need more prison guards like him and im sure the environment will be alot different
Great podcast great jersey
Thanks so much
I grew up outside Philly too! DELCO I went to Chi n Brandywine! Mummers! My great uncle was the chief of police in Chester PA! I love what you do! Ian you rock you should interview my best friend Ian his name is John Ely from South Baltimore!
Great interview.. I went from being offered a job as a PA correction officer to being in jail 3 times… the guards really make all the difference…. There are great ones and super corrupt ones… but that’s exactly the same problem with the state police.. I’m a conservative… wanted to be a police officer… but dealt with, and am still dealing with the absolute trash of law enforcement, and DA. I live in PA, and was in 2 of the prisons mentioned in this podcast.. never had a problem with the guards.. but definitely had a problem with corrupt cops abusing power and ruining lives… jail is absolutely awful, especially when your an addict.. I sat in jail 3 times for months for charges that were completely dropped, I will never get that time back.. in a country of “innocent until proven guilty “ is completely garbage. We have learned this time and time again.. no you guilty, and get to rot until the judge gets to your case… not to mention corruption in the DA’s office knowing what they are doing is wrong, but they would rather you plead down your charges than take it to court, to meet quotas.
Which county ar you from? Wondering considering how bad you speak of the D.A.
😊
Great episode! You should try to get Adam Hicks
I like this guy i hope hes as sraight up as he is in this video at work like he seems like he doesnt take shit but he also seems like he can be very understanding
you have to be firm fair and consistent in that job and it will go a lot easier for you
SO I WORKED AT SCI chester where this guy who didn’t even make it past his trainee phase worked (which was like 5 months) … it’s a rehab prison, he ain’t never worked at the other state prisons where they are higher level.. of all people yall interview this guy on corrections?????
No you didn’t, or you’d know probation is 18 months fam. Just because, the second “baby jail” of Pa started as a rehab doesn’t mean it stayed that way. Cute tho. Get your facts right.
@@user-ec4ys7ns1r yea after you turn over as a trainee you have 6 more months a total of 18 BUT you have the union backing you for sure which you’ll know it’s impossible to get fired unless you brining in drugs or getting caught up with an inmate or just not showing up to work….. you did not stay that long at chester….. out of all the c.o’s they interviewed you……. 🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧
You got big questions, ask about Eason fam
I forget which guard said it but he said they should give all prisoners tablets and weed . I know people wouldnt agree but it would occupy their time and make it so much safer for the guards and non violent offenders. Or just dont mix those prisioners in the first place .
I'll drop another podcast even if I'm in the middle of it, just to watch yours whenever I see a notification. Yup, locked in!!
Cuz Ian the mane! U can't deny it he a great interviewer!
Eastern state pen is not in center city (downtown)
. It's in the fairmount neighborhood
Jammers are illegal but my question is why would figure out a way to jam ONLY in the different pods so outside the pod the officers or staff could still have signal
I can’t believe you never seen the Khalif browder doc .. watch it asap Ian
On RUclips ?
Alot of people think prison guards are people who tried to be cops that didn't make it as a cop. How true is this?
Salute from Massachusetts RonnieBlueeyes
I work at a jail currently. For the tablets at my facility they get rented for $7.50/month I believe and they can make calls, email, text from their cells and watch movies. Everything they have to pay for is expensive.
Emails and texts are monitored. They can rent movies but they only get the movie for 24 hours I believe
Ya a fkin rip off for the state and jail to make even more off incarcerated individuals! Fuk the d.a. the judge and the jury and definitely any police 🐽 mfers! Including u if u feel some type of way by my comment!
I’m trying to get caught up Ian lol
Great podcast. Ppl who are tough dont need to scream and yell like wes watson. Your guest seems like a good co
In Washington State you can make calls off tablets but it's the same as using the pay phones. It's all through securest so even if they gave cell phones ever it would be through there phone program. Also they gave everyone a tablet for free.
Have you tried to get the after prison show guy on here?
Ask joe and he might do it or see if his homie Dave can do it (aps fans call him gay dave) Im apart of the aps army as well.
Big sandy in my state is gladiator school you go there it’s not if u get into a fight it’s when u get into a fight your absolutely 100% going to have to fight someone or ur going to be victimized
👍❤
This guy has a real Kyle Kinane vibe going on.
He thinks he is the shit fuk him
Wonder what "Ben"'s real name is. He was short on where he grew up and that wasn't mentioned at all. I think I know this guy.
They also use shot guns to take care of drones in the Ukraine conflict

Chicken strips are my favorite food
Only if they have adequate amounts of plum sauce with them.
@@4727i12A chicken strip without plum sauce could get you 3 to 5 in some states
Ian I earned the nickname daredevil because I m 80 percent blind and was 3 and 0 in county and was a trustee I would gladly spare u to prove my claim s or even JD I would rather spare MMA I'm a crappler still traim wrestling and BJJ anymore who works out with me is shocked I'm more physical capable than 96 percent of people despite my sight. I use to work for a one percenter MC as a cook for them I have a amazing testimony of growing up in the d game first od was at 2 I found the pack. But now I share recovery is possible as long as u never give up u want to see a real life superhero holler at me because daredevil has nothing on this whiteboy
If every CO in America was like this man, with his attitude, the prison systems would be a much better, safer place for everyone.
Give us all the private link to your HBO doc . Edit also there were gaurds who used to bounce for you ? Smart that you didn't but there are alot of guys who would of made them a offer only so many could refuse. They would of became the plug . Lol Edit again , i have never thought of Jesus as the most famous deathrow inmate buthe definitely was . That is a pretty cool way to give certain people a different perspective on his story.
why does he care why they sell makeup in men's prison like genuinely we know the type of person he is
This dude neees to lay off the juice all I could hear is him breathing the hole video lmao
Sick and nervous. Ian told me to put the mic close, i apologize, i hear it to.
Not sure if it was just me but dude seems a little zesty to me!
This dudes more intimidating looking than most the other guest on the show😂
COs are the real deal,the toughest in law enforcement,they walk the toughest beat in ANY state
I can’t believe he’s sitting there with a CO while he sits there and calls an ex inmate “inspiring and interesting” Dude wouldn’t have spit on him if his was on fire when he was locked up”
Sir, you opened quotes to degrade what I said then closed them in reference to Ian, then continued, and ended with quotations…. I actually took time to look into your page. I’m sorry you feel that way, I hope you never have a next experience. With that said, keep doing what you are and build your thing.
@@user-ec4ys7ns1r we all know your kind.
Something about this guard seems suspect.
My father was a NYPD DT In Alphabet city In the 70s and hist stories def had to do with my crime obsession , InLOVE your comeback story I love your original story and the Podcast is solid . all the best to you 🫶🏻🙏🏻💯
Freaking Ian lolz like a virgin
White guy with full sleeves bringing up participation trophies…never seen that before.
Was raised in a generation you had to earn something. Of course young years tball soccer and shit like that everyone gets one, but middle school no. Kids have to EARN a medal… with that said, losing makes stronger better people than winning. Not how many times you get knocked down, how many do you stand back up.
This cop is cool but he shaves his ass hair
Wtf?
With tweezers?
he's nice and all but he just seems like kind of a dick and all these law guys truly are the same
This dude can be on steroids, but can’t let criminals do their thing?
I was sick and nervous. Thank you for watching tho.
Hey Ian I tried sending you a message on Instagram to get the link for the hbo documentary but it won't let me. Thanks for always coming with the banger podcasts!!
Having tattoos don't make u better or stronger
When did he say that muscles definitely do and this guy is fucking huge hed knock u down @MartinM04
He's a ginger with no soul
I don’t think people should get bashed. You’d have to meet me to know, and if we ever meet in a corrections setting, you might change your preconceived notion. Knocking folks down, who are down, isn’t power. Like stated, lifting folks up, and aiding in the idea of the block life is bs if you want to have a LIFE is more important.
His hard breathing his killing me! I feel like he just came on here because he is a fan because is story sounds fake
This was painful to listen to, just yes/no answers and 20min of fan boy energy
