Tom Silverstein | Aryan Brotherhood | The Most Isolated Federal Prisoner Ever
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 сен 2024
- In this episode of the Sit Down, I speak to Pulitzer Prize finalist, author Pete Earley as we delve into the life of Thomas "Terrible Tom" Silverstein. Silverstein was the longest inmate in solitary confinement in this history of the federal prison system. We discuss his early life, the depraved murders he committed and his excruciating experiences in the worst and most secure federal prisons in America.

I sent this to Tommy’s Widow- she’s the actual approval for the quality of the videos on Tommy videos ☺️ Much respect, and a great video.
❤❤❤
looking forward to this one. The Brand had always fascinated me. Good work Jeff!
Hi Jeff, you keep coming up with fresh content every week. I appreciate but can't imagine the work work you put into every episode. As always, cheers from Australia
I appreciate that!
Great interview. As someone who learned of Silverstein on the internet, this was highly informative. I’m buying the book.
Hey Jeff, you might have heard this before but
you are a really great one on one interviewer.
Thanks so much
This is really interesting to me in the fact that I actually met Silverstein in transfer in Oklahoma. I had no idea of his history but we got along for the two to three weeks we spent together and played cards together a bunch. Something the other inmates warned against because of his history. I had never read the hot house and he urged me to do so but not to judge him, which I didn't. He just seemed really happy to have a friend that was a fellow artist, I'm currently a professional tattoo artist in Winston Salem NC. He was really friendly and I never even felt uncomfortable or in any way fearful of him in any way, I had no preconceived notions of him so therefore didn't believe he was dangerous, which after reading the book and learning more about him I didn't feel any different as far as that goes, just really sorry for him. He was a really nice guy during the time I spent with him. He told me they removed a tumor from his brain that made him act violently and that now that they did that they were evaluating him for release, which was probably some kind of imagined thing due to what I know now, but who knows. Regardless it's really interesting to hear his story in depth. I just remember how uncomfortable other people were with me walking the block with him all day and talking about art with him and didn't really understand it so much. What a crazy sad life he had to live, it's really an injustice in and of itself. Thank you for making this podcast or whatever it's called.
😊
Injustice what about the guard he killed. That was a man with a family a injustice is to that mabs family. U said nothing about the men he killed. I don't understand how someone can kill multiple people but people say it's unjust what they did to him but nobody gives a shit about the men he killed
Clutter asked an got when he ask for,I was there,I know
It's crazy what a tumor or head trauma can do to a persons personality. Can turn the most passive, kind and gentle person into an impulse psycho...
@@De-hl2rc It's called the 80/20 rule. It applies to both sides. 80% good, 20% bad. This applies to the guards and inmates. You seem to be assuming that these guards were on the up and up. I had heard that there were reasons for this retaliation against the guards. It's called inside justice. Just keep that possibility in mind. Lots of skum bags on both sides of the fence. It's sad what some of these crappy guards get away with until someone takes action. If the admin doesn't do it, the political system internally will. Don't assume these guards are nice family loving men. That's a bad assumption. God Bless us all. 🙏🙏
Just finished reading Pete's book no human contact , brilliant read. Silverstien the true 1%
People, if you HAVENT read The Hot House, by Pete Early, you must! One of the most fascinating books I've ever read, and the story is so engrossing you will be tired the next day from reading all night!!!❤
This was absolutely fascinating, thanks again Jeff I found this particularly extremely interesting
Glad you enjoyed it
Hell ya! I’ve been craving some aryan brotherhood stuff lately!!! Thanks Jeff
Hope you enjoy
Very excited for this one. Haven't started watching and you've probably already read it however if you haven't, The Hot House about Leavenworth prison is beyond intense. Tommy was interviewed by Pete Early after the murder of Mr. Klutts. The Cuban's starting riots everyday was also fascinating to read about. Thank you for your hard work.
Edit: HAHAHAHA. At 3:30 and guess who I see. You are so much further ahead of me Jeff. Much love and respect good sir
Thanks for watching!
Yes Jeff is the best. Cheers from Australia
Your doing really good bro,. I try not to miss any of the topics you pay out on here..History
Thanks for listening
For some reason I would assume someone with the last name Silverstein wouldn't be too interested in joining an organization with the word "Aryan" in its name...
Watch the video and the question will be answered
Maybe if you watched the video you would learn the reason for that lol
He's white. That's what matters most
@@insert_clever_name126 True. It was just something that came to mind after reading the title... 😂
He took his stepfathetr's last name when he was. adopted
Class interview bro 🙌 love from Scotland 🏴 👊
His treatment was absolute overkill. Simply a vendetta carried out by the so called justice system. The government treated him worse than those nice boys down in Gitmo.
Thanks very much Jeff this was an excellent and very interesting conversation.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great interview as always. Kudos Nadu.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I read hot house on my first term. It was cool reading about Leavenworth and the feds at that time.. very well written.
Yes it was!
Sammy the bull says his parents were sturdy. No abuse no poverty.respect.🙏
Great interview Jeff. Thank you. Great topic!!!! If people only knew.
fascinating stuff bro another great interview, Silverstein was treated worse than an animal. Its disgusting how the BOP treats inmates at times... We have a guy here in England that has been locked up in solitary confinement for over 40 years, His name is Charlie Bronson aka Charles Salvador.
Key word, the Humanity. That is vital to any shape or form of respect and redemption. So so glad Pete mentioned that key learning point. Solitary is not the answer!
Also Pete Early wrote the book about the Johnny Walker Spy Ring was fabulous.
There's a lot of stuff to watch on RUclips. This was good; really, really good.
Great interview and guest Jeff💯👍
Thanks for watching!
I visited Tommy at ADX I echo Pete Tommy was resilient and defiant. I have shared this video
thank you
Great stuff thank you , love from
England 🏴
Having spent several decades in Canadian federal prisons I read everything I could get my hands on concerning everything regarding history but especially prison and the hot house is probably the best book ever written, Pete Earley hit the nail right on the head with his research but his access to Atlanta was unprecedented then and I am sure nobody has or will ever get as close as Pete got into the system. everything he says regarding prison life is on the mark as far as I'm concerned, granted I was never in the American system, but to get as close to Silverstein as he did is amazing, great interview Jeff I love how your research/interview technique is always unbiased and how non judgmental you always are with your work, irregardless who or what your subject is, thanks for shutting down the speculators and Bozos like you do on your podcasts, I recommend you read 10 men dead the story of the I.R.A. and the H blocks prison in Northern Ireland, R.I.P. Tom Silverstein a tortured soul, Thanks Jeff.
Well said, I'm a fan of Jeff, his obvious knowledge and research before every episode. Cheers from Australia
I can't imagine life in prison, how can a man live in solitary confinementh for decades without losing his mind.
Man I saw as a family strong heart when I went in 17 years straight
One thing I admire about Tom was his strength behind being locked down which I did a lot of.
Release Tom I pray 🙏 one day
He gave me power through my 17 year bid . 💪🛡️💯✝️😎
Dang didn't know he passed away
A true real soldier 💪✝️💯🛡️
A good interview Jeff was brilliant
Hell yeah!!! Great sit-down as always. Keep it up Jeff
Appreciate it!
Tommy was loved by many including me..your free now my brother
Fascinating stuff and the AB is one serious gang......the.Hot House is the best book on Leavenworth, the AB and Tom Silverstein.
Good lengthy show Jeff!
The subject matter made a nice change too! 👍👍👍
Glad you liked it!
@@thesitdownwithjeffnadu Caught your last live, you seemed sick towards the end. Hope you get better brother
You do an excellent job as an interviewer, Jeff (much more polished and knowledgeable than some others I've seen.) Hope you can keep getting high-quality guests on your channel.
Thanks, will do!
Yes he's the best. Cheers from Australia
Great video man. I was wondering if that stupid dog was going to live till the end. Lmao!
My fav episode so far . This is my third play through
Thank you John
The obv thing.with all prisons .is staff bring cell phones ..drugs in ....cos ..kitchen
..admin ..etc ..never addressed at all
True accounts and very well written - Stories from the Old Yard by J.M. Fitzmaurice
Great episode. Ive heard of silverstien befire this but this gave me way more insight on his life in the feds. If your intereted on other prisoners there is this guy named mark defriest how escaped prison a few times and has a crazy story, also an episode on 2015 escape at clinton prison in upper new york would be dope to.
Appreciate you!
Clinton, is that the one where the officer fell in love with the inmate and helped him and his boy escape?
Good story
@@Irishboyz correct my man 👍
@@jordanreynolds5483 that documentary was insane... Definitely a must watch ☘️
Great interview
Thanks for watching!
Bro you got to do a video on Bindy Johal, interesting story
Love this sit down! Dope interview fellas. Big love from Baltimore Maryland, keep up the good work guys 💯
What prison in the United States allows the correctional officers to wear side arms ? He painted the narrative that only the bop doesn’t allow co’s to have side arms .
I've never heard of CO's wearing side arms. Only firearms I heard of in prison is non lethal guns that would should wooden or rubber pellets, as well as lethal "real" rifles that of course would kill but were only used during riots and fights in which an inmate wouldnt surrender to the non lethal weapons and/or another inmate or a guards life was already threatened.
Great interview Jeff....interesting guy
Thank you Kevin
I was in Marion Illinois Supermax penitentiary in 1981 to 1983 when they killed the two guards !
Weird observation: Why do dudes in jail pose for pictures while squatting down? The only time you ever see another dude pose like that is the JC Penney ads.. just saying…
Why does it matter too u on how we bust a flick man some of you get up and start eating paint chips early cause taking a flick when you can be free you can’t throw gang signs you can’t do any gestures u notice he’s smiling you think u cold a 35 yr bid in the shu and still smile a lot of you say yes no I think not look Tommy was a man that was hated by all prison staff this is his way of saying look you people think you can break us man I’m smiling and there’s nothing you or BOP can do to me too take that from me in prison u always got to have your guard up and Tommy was going to let the joint dictate a picture like they had in every aspect of his life Tommy RIP
I had a friend who worked there and me and my dad got an 8 hour personal tour in 1996 I think it was.. and I seen silverstein.. he was under a building that was separated from the big prison. It literally under the building. Now I only seem him on a TV screen but I was in that building. And the guard personally told me they had turned off his hot water for 6 years!!!!!!! The guards hated him so bad he wouldn't even say a word to him. I watched him on that TV but all he did was sleep. The guard made us read the hot house before we could take the tour so I new who he was..I thought what they where doing was cruel as hell.... but yep I was right in that prison for a day. Nobody was locked down or anything. I was scared man really scared won't lie.. they even told me they wanted till it was a moonless night and then blindfolded him before they moved him in that room ..all so he couldn't see the night sky or the outside.. I thought it was sick. But they fucking hated him that bad
Great Jeff!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🔥
thanks for watching
Need step down programs and you need way more than aspirant fir 6 months. I lived 14 years in MD in out. Been out 10 years but just trying to figure a job path. I relied on selling drugs for everything. Onc3 the desire to use was gone my life dramatically has alowed

Wow I was locked into every word, very interesting and so sad that a person went through that.
The BOP will change a man and the way he feels thinks and reacts
Great show jeff
I read hot house. Excellent book
You need to get Pete's new book NO human contact about silverstien and fountain
Great job Nadu!
Just bought th silverstein and hot house book, based on this episode
I read the Hot House over 20
Years ago….Great Read
You'll enjoy earleys new book then , no human contact about fountain & silverstien
Really intriguing
Aryan brotherhood motto was getting high and getting over
There's a certain thing dofferent amounts/levels of homelessness does to your social skills when you re-enter the easier life too.
he like uk charlie bronson
The fact that you say AB is not a racist. I question your beliefs now.
They’re really not
Just one stink'n Cop could'a given that kid a break. He was not bad.. He was "driven" Bad.
Wow man the way the system is there ya minds is a prison in side a prison ... very interesting..
Alex Murphy hmm.probably thinking he has heaps of coin still " he's budging of what family he has left prob just enough to get him threw his lagging easier ..
I was distracted by Pete throwing various things at the dog. Wtf old man!
Great interview ...but that dog gots to go!
Ice cold
I have to disagree with your guest on him running any prison he could go to. Even in his prime I can't see him accomplishing that feet in Lawton or the Cut in MD. Or most level 5s in the state of NY. Just my opinion.respect!🙏
I'm trying to get through to you,can't

You need to bring hard intentions on
Say Jeff I heard this guy tell u that he was institutionalized after only a year ? NO that isn’t going to happen maybe he picked up some good cleaning and prison mannerisms but if he says he’s institutionalized after one year he would have to had something done to him or seen it done too someone else so no he isn’t why would he say that after knowing that lieing and cheating or faking the funk is not tolerated listen if you come a neighborhood on the streets where murder happens just as much as living then u go to prison it’s all the same just a different location the game changes location but the game stay some Jeff you seem like your starting to get an idea a little bit on how the joint rolls I’m from LOS Angeles come from generational family of convicts heroin, gangs , drugs it was normal so all prison was is a place to learn new methods of crime there were no rehabilitation Especially the shu that’s a sad story in itself
Michael Thompson is doing fine...
Snitch !!!!
The prison stinks and I remember it being white where he was.. but it was years ago. But I was there
Yu never say that he was hand cuffed when he got killed
That damn dog should have been shanked😂😂
My mates mates dad's cousins nephews freinds unties step dad's unties brothers dad knew Tommy 😊😊😊
❤😂❤
Is he Cornfed?
Nah, Cornfed’s real name is Paul Schneider
Let your guest talk Jesus Christ
2 shots lol lots of people are lost shots ? Lol
No it’s very racist
I read The Hot House when I did time myself (I did 18 yrs straight, 8 first in solitary SMU), its one of the best prison books ever.
Thanks for watching
Should get Pete's new book NO human contact about silverstien and fountain , brilliant read
I thought Gianni Russo was the toughest guy in prison
No doubt 🧐
May Allah bless our man Tommy with the best in the heavens and on earth.
