this dude is definitely a booty warrior. i had to stop watching because that's all he talks about. and it's not how prison really is unless you are in that circle.
I was a CO in Texas for awhile. I remember a black dude from Cali kept refusing to go in the day room because it was majority Mexicans. He eventually got that it didn’t matter but he ended getting his ass beat anyway because he kept talking about how better Cali was than Texas. Lol
@m howard you obviously don't know texas. Why not research texas co pay. How you gonna mention NY pay and talk shit and stay ignorant on texas, yet throw shade at them and compare them, get the fuck outa here.
I've been locked down in Texas as well and it's just like cali. Still segregated mostly. Only east coast prison I've been was 3 in north Carolina but its exactly as dude said, no politics. Texas was a cake walk though compared to LA county jail but still segregated.
there is neighborhood gangs per say reppin they hood same difference. philly do have latin kings , sex money murder bloods, neta, but they are out there but not like cali where gangs are everywhere
We haven't had gangs in Philly since maybe the 60's or 70's, it's more about blocks , but really if you cool you can basically go to any neighborhood in Philly, it's how you carry yourself
As a East Coast dude I can attest that the Northeast is way different than the South, Midwest, or the West. Most Latino's and black's are considered pretty much the same except for cultural differences. A lot of people have relatives that are other than themselves. There's still tension, just not as pronounced. Gang's don't flourish here as they do in many places either, even though people claim to be from one or another. For us being territorial isn't too much of an issue, people move. If your homie is a square, that's fine, keep him out of trouble. It is what it is. It's only any real trouble when you try to fit a square peg in a round hole, which happens quite often. The streets have always been glorified, if you're not built for the repercussions of participating, best not participate. There are options.
JuanJose247 In the Mid West in Illinois and Wisconsin and Michigan also Indiana Prisons Blacks,Whites , Latinos claim the same gangs and neoborhoods The Folk nation and People Nations of Chicago ARE the reason no race Controls the prisons Either you ✡️or✋🏾 You got GDs and Latin Folks White Folks Gangs and All type of Disciple sets of all races under Folk then you got all type of Vice Lords and Latin Kings sets with people nation so They dont bang off race Its either you fake or real The aryan brotherhood exist but they hold no power because the multi race gangs outnumber them out here so they dont show much racism as the West coast brotherhood or mexican mafia you’ll get killed being racist in the mid west prisons by your own Race because everybody lives together
Yea its not like that in California. If youre white you go in as white, if uoure black you go in as black. Everyone has their own race to go to except the surenos and northerners. If its a fight between a white man & another race you help him or thats your @$$, & vica verca.
@@262deejay im from California but i think youre wrong. Its more a respect thing, you can be racist in the cell or amongst whites all you want, just dont disrespect another race cuz youre gunna start a riot, you really think they care if youre racist?
It’s true what he said about the East Coast and different races working together. Just a couple of years ago in New Jersey, the blacks and the Italian Mafia were working together. Members of the Bloods and New York’s Lucchese Crime Family(the Family seen in Goodfellas) were arrested because they were working together, smuggling cell phones into different prisons throughout New Jersey.
Mafia Families have used blacks through out its history. Best example was rebel Capo Joey Gallo making friends with Black Gangsters in prison and getting a shooter to kill Joe Colombo the boss of the Colombo Family in a bid to take it for himself.
I doubt Blacks and Italian Mafia were working "together." I'm sure black folks actually believed the Italians respected them and probably used the fuck out of them. When the shit goes down the Italians will give you up.
Everyone knows the stereotype of people in the South being all racist and shit, but the truth is stranger. Here in the South Blacks and Whites have been dealing with each other's shit for 400+ years; by now we're pretty much used to each other. Doesn't mean we're holding hands and singing "Kumbaya", but we're used to each other at this point. It's the Northeast and other areas where the hate is a lot more out in the open.
The difference is that in the South there are no more racists than in the North, but in the South they aren't ashamed of it. Personally I rather like someone having the decency to call me the "N" word to my face as opposed to me hearing through the yard that they said it behind my back.
Word. I've noticed the whites from the Midwest are the biggest racist, loud mouths around. They don't realize they can get their wig split in other areas when they talk stupid.
Mississippi was the last state to free the slaves. West Virginia was the last state admitted into the Union in 1863. 1865 was the abolishment of slavery in all 35 states, ratified by the 13th Amendment.

I remember seeing a prison documentary where a guy from the east coast was doing time in Cali, he was Black/Mexican and said it never came up in the east coast prisons but in Cali he had to choose, he went black.
Cali prisons are segregated not just cause of the inmates and the factions they belong to. The guards also play a huge role in the race game. Cause u know dam well that some them guards will favor some groups.
Thats why that whole getting along shit is a dub, mexicans not that deep on in the east, the only reason they playing nice, but that shit finna drop. watch.
Hey big herc! Love the series bro! I’ve done a lot of time on the east coast in ct, the system is waaaaaaay different out here, would like to tell you about it, you wouldn’t believe how it’s run out here, ridiculous!
one of my child hood friends is doing 40 to life and hes now in a sny yard he says its way better than the mainline cause there no politics and he says everybody kicks it but stay away from chomos and rapists but as far as doing time its smoother in a sny yard i told him do what ya gotta do man
I’m from Virginia and i did 3 years in a juvenile behavioral modification program in Utah several years ago and i completely understand what he’s saying. When I was in Utah a lot of the inmates were from California and the facility was completely segregated and it was a total culture shock to me. THEN I came back to Virginia and I was accustomed to the segregation and I had to readjust myself to the way it is here in Virginia. I’m from the northern Virginia/DC area and MS13 definitely runs the jails.
Hes 100% correct. There are politics in prisons on the east coast and there are gangs and gang run prisons. But you are judged on you as an individual on the east, and not your gang.
Now if we can figure out how not to go to prison, and still get a GED, and a degree, and write a book. Sometimes we have to go the long way to find our way. Thanks guys for keeping 💯. Teach is these young cats how prison really is, on the West coast & on the East coast.... Let the guys know the game always has two sides. 1. 💰 2. Prison, if you fuck up.... Do what you do, but be about it, and smart. With any circumstances, deal with it. Make the best of a bad situation...
Good episode. He said they were acting like fans on the east coast because they got to meet a real LA nigga. The OG said why are you claiming blood and never been to Compton? LOL. That shit is hella crazy.
That race division is only West coast. I did time in VA and some real Mexicans from Lennox13 straight Gangsters. He would tell me all the time" He love this, if back in LA he couldn't associate with me.'" It's crazy but reality on the West coast. we
We get money and politic out here we got structure out here in Cali. Let’s not forget we started this shit, the rest of the country still trying to catch up to the way we politic. So y’all break bread with snitches and rapists? That’s crazy family
Suave XXX comes across as intelligent and articulate, but he also comes across as still very much involved in the gang life. Good interview. I enjoyed it
Here's the deal. Both guys in the interview are from the west coast and have very little knowledge of east Coast geography. Which is understandable because they aren't from there. I was born and raised on the east coast. What needs to be understood is that although Virginia is on the east Coast... anything from Maryland and Virginia down is technically what we call "Down South". Which is a totally different part of the Country. Different demographics. Different cultures. Different customs, accents, and Vibes. Jailing in Virginia (down south) is totally different from Jailing in What people actually consider the east coast meaning Philly, Jersey. NY. etc. Experiences in Graterford, Dallas, Rahway, Trenton State, Elmira, Sing Sing, Attica, etc... are different than "down South" So actually this video should be titled comparing jailing in California compared to jailing "down South" in Southern Prisons.
Who is “we”??? Nah stick the East Coast is Fla to Maine... the li juvenile shit you talkin bout is that self centered hipp hop bullshit niggas from up north be thinking when the they think the world revolves around them... and by “up north” I mean the “northeast” not Minnesota and Michigan.😏
@757CitiesReppa I have to call you out on that. Up North is the least clicky. Philly rep Philly, Boston rep Boston, CT rep CT, there's North Jersey and South Jersey, Delaware rep, Bmore rep Bmore, DC is part of the DMV now, and NY rep NY but then NY can be broken down to Update and the City, then the city is broken down into Boros. The West Coast identify as a coast, and the South identify as the south. You hear people say "Out West we do", or "Down South we do", you rarely her "North East we do". So stick to reality. Plus the North East is the center of the universe See Ya.
I think everybody consider va n up, pa n east = east coast. NC n down, TX n east = south. Yal niggas just wanna argue. Btw it's a fact that bitches like ny niggas. We go south midwest n west n get love everywhere. I think that's y some niggas always hating on ny. That n ny get more light than anywhere else. The haters give NY more light. We don't see it. We just see it on RUclips so it's irrelevant.
I was a former CO in Virginia. All the officers who were dirty quickly under investigated, when found guilty they were arrested then became prisoners themselves. Virginia is a Common Wealth State which is more state control.
I was wondering about the race thing on east cause I dont see a grown man telling my pops he cant chill with his best friend for years thats white. Yea right! Its not happen in WV
Interesting video, but I don't know if he really answered that question "what do you think is the main cause of hatred and conflict among the races in California state prisons?". Presuming that the racism in the prisons is just a reflection of the overall racism in the society that surrounds them, I personally believe the main reason why there is so much racism in California may be that California as a state probably always has been socially very segregated. So when you bring race into the situation, that race factor will add up to the social equation as a whole, making racism grow stronger than it would in places with a history of greater social equality. What do you think of this theory, Herc? And thanks for the vid.
Not much to flex; they only have short guys. A big jacked black dude can pick up one Mexican in each hand and slam the backs of their heads together. :)
Being from California I would say our prison gangs are solely to blame. You have to understand that our prison gangs go bacc to the 1950s - a very racist and segregated era in America history. Criminal syndicates like the Mexican Mafia, Aryan Brotherhood and BGF simply adopted that societal mindset and put it into action in the Californian prison system by dividing jails and prisons solely by race. And due to the founders and leaders of those organizations being lifers(individuals doing life in prison) they simply got stucc with that racist mindset. And as newcomers came by throughout the years they simply inherited those racist ideas and structures from the old time, gang leaders- not doing so meant a death sentence since you simply don’t defy gang leaders in Californian prisons. So as decades went by that whole race shit simply just became the norm in Californian jails/prisons.
I would love to see some interviews about real east coast from DC up Virginia is really considered the south. Should get some people from the East Coast, the south & midwest
I wonder what things are like in other parts of the West Coast? I live in Seattle, and I wonder how it is in Washington State prisons. I imagine the large Asian and Native communities would change the dynamic from what it is in California.
rum runner I live in LA and been to Seattle and a lot of Washington state. It’s nowhere near as hostile as Southern California is. California has 900,000 African Americans and close to a million Hispanics. Washington state is a very white state without many Mexicans and blacks. I would rather do 10 years in Washington than 1 year in the LA county jail
@m howard cause you probably not even from NY,anybody who been to rikers no it's plenty gang politics,if you not blood you cant even us the phone in certain houses
Man Cali prisons have this scenario. Every youngster comes in trying to do one of two things. 1 make a name for himself. Or trys at first to find where he fits in. Guess what the second one becomes?
Here in England there's 2 charges for cell phones. Smartphones are an outside charge and those shitty finger phones are normally dealt with internally.
I'm from CT. Done time in MS, AL & CT. There is a big difference. Being white, I definitely felt the "race line" down South as opposed to the east coast. I was actually pulled aside in MS and told that "we", as in whites, stick to our own kind.. But I also felt the racism from blacks a lot more in the south..
Scdc is the same... First time watching this show. Needs to be told. I've spent 10 years in the system on the East coast. I'd love to see some kind of true reform for us inmates.

Can you really call it chilling when it's inside a prison?
Since when...i came home 2012 must be different now
The Loose Moose nah it be race wars and gang wars up north. Bloods, crips, ms13, Latin Kings, Dominican gangs don’t just hang out with anyone.
No we don't stop the lies lol,yea its way more gang oriented but it's plenty racial shit especially upstate ny
Hey big herc! Love the series bro! I’ve done a lot of time on the east coast in ct, the system is waaaaaaay different out here, would like to tell you about it, you wouldn’t believe how it’s run out here, ridiculous!
one of my child hood friends is doing 40 to life and hes now in a sny yard he says its way better than the mainline cause there no politics and he says everybody kicks it but stay away from chomos and rapists but as far as doing time its smoother in a sny yard i told him do what ya gotta do man
I’m from Virginia and i did 3 years in a juvenile behavioral modification program in Utah several years ago and i completely understand what he’s saying. When I was in Utah a lot of the inmates were from California and the facility was completely segregated and it was a total culture shock to me. THEN I came back to Virginia and I was accustomed to the segregation and I had to readjust myself to the way it is here in Virginia. I’m from the northern Virginia/DC area and MS13 definitely runs the jails.
What jails
1 thing for sure both Prisons have H.O.M.O. Thugs
Preaching!straight up that's how it is!we all in here
Hes 100% correct. There are politics in prisons on the east coast and there are gangs and gang run prisons. But you are judged on you as an individual on the east, and not your gang.
Now if we can figure out how not to go to prison, and still get a GED, and a degree, and write a book. Sometimes we have to go the long way to find our way. Thanks guys for keeping 💯. Teach is these young cats how prison really is, on the West coast & on the East coast.... Let the guys know the game always has two sides. 1. 💰 2. Prison, if you fuck up.... Do what you do, but be about it, and smart. With any circumstances, deal with it. Make the best of a bad situation...
There is politics in the joints on the east coast. Just depends where your at
mississippi yes. sureños and norteños
Name what prison has politics in the east coast..... theres is no politics east coast
Yeah they got a prison in SC that has alot of nortenos and surenos that be going at it in there
Jay 207 The little wanna be vice Lord bloods banging 5 point stars and wanna be gd 6 point stars crips?
Pennsylvania state prisons are political but not too big on the gang political shit
Glad to see he's out & ready to make a positive contribution to society.
DAM!😵That is messed up how still in 2019 you got prisons that separate ppl according to their race!
The prisoners seperate theselves according to race. The prison does like it that way but it's the prisoners themselves doing it.
Good episode. He said they were acting like fans on the east coast because they got to meet a real LA nigga. The OG said why are you claiming blood and never been to Compton? LOL. That shit is hella crazy.
That race division is only West coast. I did time in VA and some real Mexicans from Lennox13 straight Gangsters. He would tell me all the time" He love this, if back in LA he couldn't associate with me.'" It's crazy but reality on the West coast. we
#California is too REAL #beware out WEST.
Big herc big shot out homie this is the realest channel on RUclips thanks for these videos bro .
I was busting cheeks in prison and wig splitting punks that were peter gazing other inmates

YaSSine Wardady must have been on a special needs yard.

You Butt Pirate!!!!!
Hi big hurc. Shout out from scotland. Been watching your videos for while now and got to say great stuff brother!
Gangbangers on da Westcoast Drugdealers/Playas on da Eastcoast

Kingpins/druglords on eastcoast
We get money and politic out here we got structure out here in Cali. Let’s not forget we started this shit, the rest of the country still trying to catch up to the way we politic. So y’all break bread with snitches and rapists? That’s crazy family
@J M stfu East Coast homeboys still drop your bitch ass
Suave XXX comes across as intelligent and articulate, but he also comes across as still very much involved in the gang life.
Good interview. I enjoyed it
Here's the deal. Both guys in the interview are from the west coast and have very little knowledge of east Coast geography. Which is understandable because they aren't from there.
I was born and raised on the east coast. What needs to be understood is that although Virginia is on the east Coast... anything from Maryland and Virginia down is technically what we call "Down South". Which is a totally different part of the Country. Different demographics. Different cultures. Different customs, accents, and Vibes.
Jailing in Virginia (down south) is totally different from Jailing in What people actually consider the east coast meaning Philly, Jersey. NY. etc.
Experiences in Graterford, Dallas, Rahway, Trenton State, Elmira, Sing Sing, Attica, etc... are different than "down South"
So actually this video should be titled comparing jailing in California compared to jailing "down South" in Southern Prisons.
Who is “we”??? Nah stick the East Coast is Fla to Maine... the li juvenile shit you talkin bout is that self centered hipp hop bullshit niggas from up north be thinking when the they think the world revolves around them... and by “up north” I mean the “northeast” not Minnesota and Michigan.😏
@757CitiesReppa I have to call you out on that. Up North is the least clicky. Philly rep Philly, Boston rep Boston, CT rep CT, there's North Jersey and South Jersey, Delaware rep, Bmore rep Bmore, DC is part of the DMV now, and NY rep NY but then NY can be broken down to Update and the City, then the city is broken down into Boros. The West Coast identify as a coast, and the South identify as the south.
You hear people say "Out West we do", or "Down South we do", you rarely her "North East we do".
So stick to reality. Plus the North East is the center of the universe
See Ya.
Maryland is more North than South as the accent begins to differ drastically.
"Deep South" states are NC, SC, GA, TN, MS, and AL.
I think everybody consider va n up, pa n east = east coast. NC n down, TX n east = south. Yal niggas just wanna argue.
Btw it's a fact that bitches like ny niggas. We go south midwest n west n get love everywhere. I think that's y some niggas always hating on ny. That n ny get more light than anywhere else. The haters give NY more light. We don't see it. We just see it on RUclips so it's irrelevant.
I was a former CO in Virginia. All the officers who were dirty quickly under investigated, when found guilty they were arrested then became prisoners themselves. Virginia is a Common Wealth State which is more state control.
Growing up I always had dreams and cheek busting aspirations
Mans kept 1 too many ramens stuffed under that bunk lol
I was wondering about the race thing on east cause I dont see a grown man telling my pops he cant chill with his best friend for years thats white. Yea right! Its not happen in WV
Say gabbie let me bust them cheeks open ha
Good thing your dad is not in prison in California because if he didn't follow the rules it would not end well for your dad.
Good shit. With me being from the east coast, this was one of the questions that I had!💯
Make a shorter intro so I don’t have to skip 40 seconds every time I watch the video.
Same
I agree
It's 2018 nobody uses long ass intro's anymore. Dude be slackin for real
The intro is kool man so stfu
After watching a handful of these videos I NEVER want to go to jail!!!
good, it's working!
Ohh so you people who say Rick Ross was CO to discredit his resume. C.Os aren’t church boys who don’t get their hands dirty.
C.O's make great drug dealers
That fucking intro track gets and STAYS stuck in my head every time I hear it, so I have to skip that shit🤣
~~~Lockdown 23and1 brought me here~~~~
You always bring a fresh perspective Big Herc!👊⚡⚡
Where ma cheek busters at?
That intro is bangin.
Interesting video, but I don't know if he really answered that question "what do you think is the main cause of hatred and conflict among the races in California state prisons?". Presuming that the racism in the prisons is just a reflection of the overall racism in the society that surrounds them, I personally believe the main reason why there is so much racism in California may be that California as a state probably always has been socially very segregated. So when you bring race into the situation, that race factor will add up to the social equation as a whole, making racism grow stronger than it would in places with a history of greater social equality. What do you think of this theory, Herc? And thanks for the vid.
Mary Decouvertes Nah it’s because the Mexicans have the numbers so they flexing their muscle and it’s the easiest way to control the street gangs
Not much to flex; they only have short guys. A big jacked black dude can pick up one Mexican in each hand and slam the backs of their heads together. :)
Michael But still you have street gangs on the east coast as well, don't you?
Being from California I would say our prison gangs are solely to blame. You have to understand that our prison gangs go bacc to the 1950s - a very racist and segregated era in America history. Criminal syndicates like the Mexican Mafia, Aryan Brotherhood and BGF simply adopted that societal mindset and put it into action in the Californian prison system by dividing jails and prisons solely by race. And due to the founders and leaders of those organizations being lifers(individuals doing life in prison) they simply got stucc with that racist mindset. And as newcomers came by throughout the years they simply inherited those racist ideas and structures from the old time, gang leaders- not doing so meant a death sentence since you simply don’t defy gang leaders in Californian prisons. So as decades went by that whole race shit simply just became the norm in Californian jails/prisons.
I would love to see some interviews about real east coast from DC up Virginia is really considered the south. Should get some people from the East Coast, the south & midwest
East Coast more wig splitters, West Coast more cheek busters
Only gays like to have gay $hit come off there lips
The Roo that bullshit Cuzz West side
I wonder what things are like in other parts of the West Coast? I live in Seattle, and I wonder how it is in Washington State prisons. I imagine the large Asian and Native communities would change the dynamic from what it is in California.
rum runner I live in LA and been to Seattle and a lot of Washington state. It’s nowhere near as hostile as Southern California is. California has 900,000 African Americans and close to a million Hispanics. Washington state is a very white state without many Mexicans and blacks. I would rather do 10 years in Washington than 1 year in the LA county jail
There’s def politics in rikers Island nyc
reckless and in jersey prisons too
@m howard cause you probably not even from NY,anybody who been to rikers no it's plenty gang politics,if you not blood you cant even us the phone in certain houses
Herc, do a Texas Prison next!!
Please shorten that intro buddy
Intro is cool
Intro is fine.
It’s nice but after being a sub I just skip it now.
Lol
Kiy Sezz Blaah 😂😂😂 it's official, the intro is here to stay
Good for you! Accomplished two of your goals.
Why do I always come back and watch your videos? I don’t even live in America 😂
1st! Make an interview with a European channel "The Norden" about prison reform!!
WRONG. This channel is for all races. All races get into shit, hence all races can benefit from the knowledge shared.
YEAH! We're getting all kinds of knowledge all kinds!
I did 20 years and I could never figure out why it wasn't us against the man.
The reason being about prison politics in California ,California is hardcore u cant compare it with other states california is the real deal !
Man Cali prisons have this scenario. Every youngster comes in trying to do one of two things. 1 make a name for himself. Or trys at first to find where he fits in. Guess what the second one becomes?
it's also a liberal state...most are racist
Shit ain't real deal. Just got a lot of Mexicans who racist. Out number people.
@@fredaholman5315 Yeah. Because everyone knows it's much easier to find the klan in liberal states and not conservative ones. lmao
Big Herc is seating on a GOLD MINE.
He has content that can roll in big bucks.
I GUESS WHAT HE SAID ABOUT THE EAST IS TRUE ITS WHY 6IX9INE IS BLOOD BUT HE A MEXICAN LMAO
Mexicans can join bloods and crips out here they rather let a Mexican join than a white boy
BIGHERC ALWAYS REAL TALK, GREAT VIDEO. !!AS USUAL 😀
I think that guest guy is in a porno.
OneLove Loner bum bitch
Yeah I think it was an old porn with superhead when she first started
Yo, you peter gazin some old vhs tape
look at these PETER GAZERS in the comments 😂😂😂😂
He is lmao
Here in England there's 2 charges for cell phones. Smartphones are an outside charge and those shitty finger phones are normally dealt with internally.
I taught he was gonna talk about NY Jail
Sactown bro I function with North Highlands always have always will 20 years in the game homie
Shit would’ve been different in a NY state prison. Federal got ppl from everywhere and are much more chill than state prison.
I'm from CT. Done time in MS, AL & CT. There is a big difference. Being white, I definitely felt the "race line" down South as opposed to the east coast. I was actually pulled aside in MS and told that "we", as in whites, stick to our own kind.. But I also felt the racism from blacks a lot more in the south..
Take that wisdom he giving you.
You can tell his minds blow. Wow!!
Scdc is the same... First time watching this show. Needs to be told. I've spent 10 years in the system on the East coast. I'd love to see some kind of true reform for us inmates.
