- Here are some signs you are being manipulated by the inmate population.
Tonight on Tier Talk, Anthony Gangi and his panel of experts discuss signs that can help you recognize and stop inmate manipulation.
Inmate manipulation decoded. A great book on inmate manipulation is now available. www.amazon.com/dp/0578823225
And your not😂🐴💩
Overly friendly inmates is a huge red flag. Treat all of them as if they are trying to get over on u. Always talk good about other co’s in front of them. Never let them try to divide and conquer
Spot on. Well said.
It doesn't matter how long you've been in corrections, this is always a very important topic that every facility goes through. Thank you for speaking on it.
Probably the most important topic to cover. These Inmates are masters at manipulating staff. Great video.
Thank you Shannon. I appreciate your comment
They aren’t masters if we stay ahead of em and nip things in the bud right off the bat!
Sometimes it is absolutely true that there inmates that are not manipulating Correctional Officer. Yes it is absolutely true, because of the fact that there are innocent people who are in prison who were framed for a crime that they didn't commit. Now in cases like these then they are not being manipulated, and that needs to be accounted for, and that is not the same as what this is about.
I’ve had a group of inmates cornering me as I was hitting my watch towers and tell me
You’re cool as hell hernandez but how cool are you?
I told them not that cool
Connie, that was great. No one knows what to expect when you first start. We are all initially blind at the beginning. Some stay blind. You took the instruction and made the connection in your head about the reality. It's a very good example to use, very instructional. Your story will help someone somewhere.
I agree. It was a great story that I think many will relate too
I think it’s a matter of introspection and like Anthony mentioned, listening to your gut. Some folks downplay the power of their intuition and don’t take action. I’ve learned over the years not to do that, even when I don’t have all the evidence. I certainly hope that the brave men and women in the field can relate and will take action if they find themselves on a questionable path.
One thing that really resonates with me is leverage. These manipulators are looking for anything they can use as leverage to get what they want. We can NEVER lose sight of that. They could care less about being your friend. For them you are a means to an end.
Well said Connie. Leverage is always a big part of the game
Another indicator of staff is too close to inmates is when they start to talk about being their friends, that's a red light.
Well said. I agree
You know I made friends with a female C.O. once in Lancaster C.I back in 2000. Yeah I had to use dumb inmates to break the ice. ,but all I did was give her a heads up on the mood of the dorm at the beginning of her shift. I liked her she was respectful to us without being overly firm. It made sense to try to help her keep the peace. My point is some inmates have your best interest in mind. Not everybody wants to hem you up. You should try to learn how to tell one type of manipulation from another.
Universal precaution.
I love this topic and I see inmates pull this manipulation card on a daily basis. Sometimes inmates dorm porters tries to manipulate an officer by telling them to lie about dorm food tray count to kitchen officer just to get extra trays. They start by telling you how they don’t get good times hoping you lie about tray counts. They always try to snitch on a different officer telling you what that officer said about you. They talk down on officers telling you how officer such and such dress good and you don’t. I always use Tv, telephone and home wave visit as tool to attain and sustain control. I also do my locker inspection and confiscate all of their contrabands (extra uniforms beddings, food from previous meal pass). Great job and keep uploading these videos
Never give into a inmates manipulation. Never get so complacent that you forget where you are and who these inmates are
So true Michelle
All of the presenters did a great job on this topic. Ms. Alleyne shared the advice from her clinic officer which was right on point. Paraphrasing: You don't have to be confrontational, but you MUST set boundaries. Also, if it's OK for one inmate, then there is another and another. Nip it in the bud.
Thank you sir for the comment
Ive been in Security for 9 years.
These videos have helped me tremendously when dealing with individuals who present themselves as regular difficult people. Homelessness is a big issue and i have found that alot of the individuals i have encountered have served time. As a security guard in socal at 3am it is truly scary to imagine what strangers on the street are capable of if i fail to keep my guard up. I reference the megans law website alot as well to be double sure.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this video 👍
Thank you for watching and thank you for your service.
i ws manipulated for a long time by an inmate. i’m not a naive stupid woman but it happened. i wasted a lot of years & have many regrets. I prayed & ask God to open my eyes & help me to see it for what it really is. Heal my mind that became brainwashed. They’re MASTERS at the game and it’s soooo easy to get trapped. be very careful!!!
Wow. Thank you for sharing this. Are you able to email me your story. My email is GangiAnthony@yahoo.com
@@TierTalk I will. It started when I was 33 & I’m now 52 and I’m just now am able to talk abt it truthfully. You have my permission to share my story. I will email soon.
@@TierTalk btw: u r the first person i have ever told this too. ugggg it’s embarrassing but i need to say it
@@chellebelle1970 maybe it can be a story we can share with others. People can learn from your mistakes if your are willing to share it
One of the things ive noticed,especially cadets most of them dont realize inmates aren't in with us,we are in there with them,they have 24 hours 7 days a week to play games and think of ways to manipulate,its all games to them they have nothing to lose besides a DR and a charge.
I just wanted you to know that I work in the SAP program in a prison and I turned my staff on to your videos. Now that we are working from home, we have a lot of time for training. I never thought that SAP counselors got enough from block training and need refreshers. My staff are using your TH-cam videos to educate new and seasoned staff. Thank you for providing this valuable source.
Andrea Faldon thank you for watching and showing your support. This means a great deal to me.
What is SAP? Thank you
@@jimboswell4818 Substance Abuse Program.
@@andreafaldon5026 Thank you. What an important program. Im a Chaplain and completly support AA , NA,
Celebrate recovery and most SAPs. Seen it work wonders when the inmates work thier programs. The impact on families is monumental.
That’s why I love the live stream videos because they help and they work especially if your new for the job
Yes. I love the interactions.
Tier Talk as far as the tools in corrections this may be one of the most powerful because we all can Communicate to each other through you and others when you read one of the questions out loud for all to hear and give not just your answer but the others as well I thank you for sir for doing them and tell others what to do and how to do the job that we all risk our life’s to do and as you know Knowledge is key and knowing is half the battle
Joseph oliver thank you joe. I think you made a very good point. I actually never looked at tier talk as a tool. It gives me a lot think about
Happy to help 👍
Absolutely. I am learning as much as I can. And yes, there is so much to learn.
Gangi as of now you are way ahead of your time.You should certainly be giving lectures all over the USA.THANK YOU FOR YOU SERVICE AND YOUR CONTINUED SERVICE TO LAW ENFORCEMENT.GREAT JOB.
Thank you Richie for the awesome compliment. Maybe one day ..that will be my future. I just have to retire from my real job first. Lol
Co from Michigan love your videos keep up the amazing work
Thank you. I appreciate that
Good video. I'm new to the chaplaincy in jail. 2 years. Already seen alot of manipulation. And learning much.thanks guys. Im listening. The absence of humility in an inmate has taught me alot just as much as feigned ( fake) humility.
I am honored. Thank you for your kind words.
Anthony, Very good discussion. In the Intelligence Field, the adage is : one time is accidental, twice is coincidence, but three times is enemy action. In other words don't be too concerned about random occurrences, but be very concerned if a pattern develops. I also agree with Russ, that a certain degree of "salesmanship" is normal and we all do it. But the inmates are out to exploit and use other people, especially Corrections Staff.
Yes. Well said Tom. I love your quote
Very important topic!
Thanks ckez
Connie: a
Most men seem to assume or fantacize that pretty young women find them appealing and want/need their attention. Most sociopaths use the very real need that most young women have for attention to try to groom.
Keith, good points. Intellectual manipulation can be an inmate makinging a Co feel, "smarter that, better that or more competent than." The bigger the ego, the more hot air can be pumped into it.
You’re absolutely correct and what better way to manipulate than to get someone fresh and new; before long you’re already down the path of no return. One things for sure, male or female, you must know who you are and always keep your wits about you.
@@constantinealleyne3927 therein lies the rub. Who genuinely knows who they are at 18, or even 20? That means it is more important to teach these things to the young men and women who are just starting out. An old scoundrel like me with a few decades of dealing with miscreants and malcontents, is a bit different. Very young, new officer often lack the life experiences to cope with daily evil and life balance. It would be interesting to see if she of entry into this profession, suicide and PTSD. I really would love to examine and analyze that data.
A lot of inmates try to talk their way out of write ups. It always amused me. I was guilty of almost all my write ups and never complained except for the couple times i was innocent. Ican never get mad a a guard just for doing his job.
I wish more inmates saw it that way. ...I love your mindset.
These videos are very helpful. I am new to working in corrections as a Certified Medical Assistant/Medication Tech. Are there more stories or advice regarding working medical in corrections?
Yes Katy. Here are some more. Btw...thank you for watching. ...
If you go down this list..you will see some more videos about medical.
th-cam.com/play/PLiVMpa2AtiD8kbgUZS63u2b7TWI9nOS90.html
Katy please don't fall for this horseshit.. It's hateful and disgusting the way he portrays the people who he's charged with watching over.. He's full of spite and it seeths from him oozing from his deceitful mouth and if you have any compassion for your fellow man then please look elsewhere for advice on this topic. This guy is not qualified to pump your gas let alone formulate your approach to the job and there are plenty of other resources to help you find a good solution to your needs without having to take this seriously and I truly hope you can see the difference in how he speaks about his fellow man and those who are actually respected by the population inside the many institutions dotting the landscape of this country
Thank you so much for your videos! I start in two days and they have helped me so much 😊
That is great news. Welcome to the family. Don’t forget to get my most recent book. It will help succeed.
Gary, nice job breaking it all down!
Russ Hamilton great dialogue
Thankyou for reading my thoughts and giving me the right answers to do this job. THANKYOU!!
Thank you for watching
My former spouse (may he RIP) and I both worked this environment. Him 26 urs before he passed. Myself 20 yrs. Our daughter who is now 20 just applied. This is not something that he nor I would have wanted. But she did. I have been forwarding her this video along with your others, all night.
Wow. The whole family working in corrections. I know for some...they may not want that...but there is something beautiful in it At least for me...Thank you for your service.
I'm sorry I didn't find your videos earlier, I dont know if my like and subscribe helped you, but your videos have helped me. I'm about to have to face my brother, for my sisters sake. Thank you for your good coaching, all of you!
Thank you for the support. I would love for this channel to reach 100,000. That is my goal. So every sub and like counts
A' class video. Important and informative. Good job.
P4L4D1N12II thank you
Love all your lives, videos & collaborations! ! Excellent ! Anthony! TY! 👍👋🥰❤️🙏
You are awesome. Love you to Patti. It was great seeing you
Keith, yeah streetwise or being up to speed, I know now how far from that I was when I started. Mindfulness is what I learned eventually...
Me too
Interesting. What aspects of mindfullness developed for you? How did you change as that developed?
Russ Hamilton I agree with you Keith and Russ. We can walk in thinking we know and have no idea. My street sense was non-existent; I learned everyday. I had to show up and be present; not distracted. Many tried to forge social bonds based on observations; they studied all of our movements and interactions with our colleagues, including those with the IQ of a hammer (I like that one Keith).
My shift is not complete until I've got a headache!
You're doing wonders for people like myself who is a first timer in this field of corrections
I appreciate that. That is always been the goal. I want to give to the first timers more than what I first received when I entered this profession.
@@TierTalk another tip I want to give a first time c.o. is be mindful that if you're on the clock don't leave your compound until your shift is over, There will always be someone there to correct you on this if you do it Don't be slick about it
Recently found your channel Anthony! Binging all your old content between the new live streams!
That is awesome. I hope you lien what you are watching.
very interesting...I nevery heard it this way, glad to subscribe
Thank you Brandon. Glad to have you in the family
I work in an acute inpatient psychiatric hospital. All of our patients are there involuntarily. A lot of this information is helpful for us as well.
Really. That means a lot to me. Thank you.
Also ...thank you for your service. That is a very hard position ...

Whole course on inmate manipulation.
Was part of an outside dog training program with BOP- minimal security for 10 years. We had to attend this training annually. Great video!
Thank you for watching.
Found you via DutyRon
I concluded my physical examination a week ago, patiently anticipating an email from the Eastern Shore Corrections Institute. The process seems to be moving at a leisurely pace. 😅
When inmates ask me for something that's not ok, it pisses me off, so I game them right back. "Hey CO, can I have a dip?" "Sure." And then I act like I'm going to give them the dip in my mouth.
Hell where I work they will pick it up off the ground and have to be made to put it down.. They would probably love it directly from ur mouth..
I give them what they give me and use their own words against them best lines are "I'm just doing my time" "I'm sorry I was asleep when the answer to that question you just asked me was given" "Yeah I got you a pack of cigs/food at the restaurant, all you gotta do is go pick it up" "I didn't become a CO to get rich" and my favorite line "If I become a dirty officer then you are gunna get a dirty officer"
Great topic and comments, so important.
Thank you
Make a video on Corrupt Staff Manipulation.
4:49 Is there a good reason why many correctional facilities do not publish their guidelines / policy for inmates?
I believe most post them to their departmental websites.
xephael I hope all is well. the guidelines are published. The laws are published an updated yearly. As for institutional rules...their should be a handbook given to the inmates when they enter the facility that they will be residing at.
@@TierTalk Yes, for example the handbook. Shouldn't that be available to families or general public as well? I've found a number of agencies don't seem to like sharing policies or guidelines...and in some cases you have to file FOIA. This is not just specific to correctional institutions.
If a inmate was going to be incarcerated at your facility wouldn't you want them to already be familiar with the handbook from day 1?
xephael Yes. We do get ours out on day one. And I think it’s public information with anybody was to ask for it
Great video. I'm a former police explorer and current criminal justice major at UCF. I'm very intrested in lawenforcment and corrections.
Thank you for watching. I appreciate it
They're taking applications for c.o.s in my area to train and go to the academy. I've been thinking about applying but idk if theyd take me considering I'm 36 and have never worked in corrections. I have a clean record, no kids, no wife, basically a clean slated grey man who doesn't stand out but I'm partial to a structured environment and thrive sticking to a schedule even though that may sound weird.
All you can do it go out for the position and be the best you can be and let the chips fall where they may. You got this. Say confident. Age is but a number.
@@TierTalkI gotta ?
Sure
Wow. What you are talking about, "thinking about an inmate at home" means that you are allowing intimacy or emotional support and RELYING ON or NEEDING ATTENTION from that person because they have made you feel needed, special, important. Very normal to look forward to familiar faces.A lack of emotional support from peers creates a gap. Sounds like inmates are predatorily looking to fill that gap, become that emotional support and establish intimacy through familiarity.
You are right on point my brother. You hit the nail straight on the head
@@TierTalk What it tells me is that it is super important for COs to have strong social Ties outside of the "office."
Stoic Observer yes. Very important
I was always taught that if their lips are moving that they are lying.
I have very little sympathy for inmates and criminals in general so I'd highly doubt an inmate could manipulate me because I wouldn't want to do anything for them.
Great job Anthony. Thinking about inmates at home. TOO CLOSE. Great indicator.
That advice was given to me from a LT
Yeah, we he said, "having sex with an inmate, I was like, EEHWW... TOOO CLOSE!!! Just flat out NOPE. Gross thought.
Stoic Observer lol
Very good topic Keith is friends with my husband I have his books
Missy Goode thank you for watching. He is a great author
“Let me get that for you CO”
“You’re hair looks so nice today CO. Can’t believe your bf doesn’t appreciate your hair”
“You’re the best CO”
“CO, can you just bring me a burrito from the Officer lounge? You know I’m good”
Next thing you know, you’re either caught up in something and feel stuck or compromised.
So true
Thanks for compiling this video.
Then you for watching
You cannot blame yourself for an inmate's plight!
Let’s all go ahead and revisit this topic in 2022
Yes. It is definitely needed. We have a good discussion on this later today
Ganji, when are you gonna have more classes that we can pay to take and actually receive an email generated certificate. Like the Psychology of inmate manipulation course?
We are working on that. I have to see who can certify what we do
very informative and impressive video!
Thank you
Outstanding information!!!
Thank you for watching
I appreciate the messaging ❤ haven't been offered the job yet butttt I'm preparing 😊
Fingers are crossed. Either way..keep learning. You are surely headed in the right direction. Consider us a resource.
I hear what you are saying but what is the difference between what you said and thinking about a situation that happened with a inmate and what you should have done or would do next time a situation happens.
I have been in situations like this when I spoke to the officer the officer in private. We had a good working relationship and he took my advice and appreciated my forwardness.
But it all about the approach and timing. If you wait to long, they may convince themselves what they are doing is right.
I've seen so much manipulation and it's only been two days on the job. Lol thank God I watch your videos
I am honored. I love hearing how you’re able to apply the videos we do
Are you still on the job? How is it going?
28:52 Cat meow
Yeah, she wants what she wants and right meow!
Your hat says police? Are you also a police officer or do Corrections Officers get those in your state?
Some correctional officers are also police officers. It depends on the state, but I know in mine the ones that are also police wear a badge that says Police, and sometimes a uniform inside the Prisons to distinguish them.
in some states correctional officers are peace officers and are sworn in to law enforcement
Fair Firm and Consistent. Love it. FFC
They are words to live by
Thank you for this video, I want to become co soon and trying to learn much as I can before I go in
I am honored. Thank you for watching
I think the next question should be, are inmates master debators ?
I’m going to be a new co so taking all of your advice
I am honored. Thank you
I used to work with the guy in the thumbnail. I thought it would be neat to see somebody I know in a video like this, but it seems he didn't make the cut.
Lmfao. I got it from google images.
@@TierTalk lmao small world!
Yes it is
Thank you for this insight
"Well uh Prison, uh Corrections.. sorry, Correctional officer...." 😂🤡
I loved Connie’s delivery!
I will let her know.
This is a really helpful video. Particularly liked what Russ said about the social bonds and social contracts!! Good job guys.
Does a correctional officer have police powers or is a correctional officer allowed to assist a police officer in Philadelpia?
I don’t know if PA has the recognition of law enforcement. Some states do though.
@@TierTalk yeah I hope they do. It's kinda CRAZY TO ME. I think all correctional officers should be sworn in and given the same respect and authority. Only different Is they are in the walls.
I agree with you 100 percent
I’m a CO and have been working for the ADOC for 8 months now. I just want to know what are we supposed to do if we’re on hospital run and sitting on a undisciplined inmate? We can’t spray them so what are other options that we can do to handle uncooperative or combative inmates
Do u all carry tazers while on hospital duty??
@@Tabby-bs3yo No, we carry a pistol and two magazines when we go out for hospital duty.
We carry a pistol and 2 mags, and the second officers carries a tazer.. We are authorized to use the tazer to quell any disturbances.. Notify the OIC, they call the duty warden to get approval and it's done..
Much easier to do you job than to explain why you didn’t!
Ok you used borrowing a pencil as an example. How do you know if the inmate is being genuine or manipulative? Do you just deny all inmates anything they ask, cause I would think you want some level of respect between you and the inmates without being manipulated. How do you do that while earning their respect.
I have a question my roommate is always sending different amounts of money through cash app to all these people that she doesn’t know for her son in prison !! I told her he’s serving out his sentence it’s not supposed to be a cushion stay! I’m nervous that she’s going to get in some kind of trouble for doing that something seems very off!!!
She could find herself getting in trouble as well. She don’t know what her money is buying. They could be doing a cash app because they are buying stuff they should not be having. Plus they don’t have access to a cash app in the Prison. To be on the safe side..she may need to end that before she goes down a path she can come back from
So what things will they use against you to even at the bare minimum that would be used against you
Anything personal …your confidence as well….
@@TierTalkwhat if they just make assumptions, like I have an inmate that asked me if I’m married but knows because I wear a ring or kids because they just ask do you have kids and even though I don’t say anything they make that assumption. If you don’t verbally say those things does that still count as something that could get you in trouble
@@woody6140 just tell him the question or assumption is inappropriate. Correct him on it. The key is not about whether he is right or wrong but rather addressing him and putting him in his place
Really good video
Thank you
I myself am thought of myself as respectful and generally don't give a shit. Even I tried to see what I could get away with. General rule is. If it's there they will take it. So you should always be alert for what you do or say that gives leverage.
Get information for all staff not just correctional officers. Everyone who works in a correctional facility needs to know this
Thank you
It's pretty scary to think
Yep, only think of you're good at it...
I’ve always said this if your a shy naive individual working corrections might be a challenge for you those are usually the ones they prey on the most as far is manipulation goes an a lot of times they fall for it
You are spot on
I would say Thanks for the compliment but I'm damn ugly & just walk by.
Do you think the whole dialogue between Rayshard Brooks and the ATL officers had a little bit of inmate manipulation mixed in? The Mayor fell for it.....
Well said Gary
Maybe one day we can have you on our venue.
@@TierTalk It would be nice to help with what you are doing
Here is my email. Can you tell me about yourself. Gangianthony@yahoo.com
Thanks for sharing. IMO, Manipulation is a two way street, CO's and inmates are human beings. Intelligence and strategy is not exclusive to the prison officials. Just like, knowledge, attention and retention of the law is not exclusive to bar card Attorneys. The most valuable and powerful thing anyone has, inmates and CO's included, is their "mind." Thoughts become things. No pun intended.
Great advice here Jacqueline.
Good stuff...
Thank you
hmmmm good talking point with free speech all stars here:) 🙏... As last CDC ( pen) 2009 , I recall alot of these flattery manipulation tactics I noticed in my state sentenced time that's been spoken up here; big thanks , much luv & respect for 100% real talk . Long story short, life's too short, flies by fast to waste it locked up. I been there and done that, definately not worth it. 🙌🙏🤗 Big PTL (Praise The Lord) for moving y'all to speak up the right way and bring us in each others path for a reason:). Be safe, hang in there, take care and GB🙏
Not in the sense of ever bringing or doing something unethical or illegal just handle situations different
Absolutely. IE. It was not really a problem I just thought of a solution before I got back to work. Call it being proactive I guess.
Wow Connie worked at Rikers. That’s badass.
She is pretty badass. Lol
@@TierTalk Oh my gosh you responded. Thank you!
@@Wafflewizard-s5j thank you for watching
Can i complain about an inmate at home?
2:42 first tip
When are we to be expecting another great live video stream I love those because of how educational they are and how the people who watch them like me for example y’all are great at answering our questions when you can when others can hear so we all learn together so we can better understand and do our jobs correctly and safely so we can all go home
I will try to have another one coming up within a week. We are going to try and do a consistent schedule again. But you have my word Joe.. you motivated me to get right on it
Soon I hope!
Week 1 of the C.O Training: Still haven't got our polices and procedures inmate handbook yet. However I was tested doing a search in inmates cell and pretty much failed because we hadn't been taught that yet and the Sargent I was shadowing didn't correct me (I was in a cell with 4 inmates searching through their stuff and the Sargent was outside watching me) after the whole pod was searched by me, he took me into his office and said, "You'll only get five chances, verbal, write up, etc then your out."
Glad I'm watch your videos to learn more though.
When you live in the Midwest and the government pays you check but you’re too simple to ruminate about it and frivolously spend your biweekly income in the check but not on rims or attire , instead it’s a 100 pounds of sediment for that random home improvement project and that half-finished new deck ,
Lol. I'm a natural narcissist, I enjoy building them up , just to break them down!
Wow
Hello. Very interested in your topic. Would love it more if less introductions and get straight to the point. Thank you
I will work on that. I do have more content that gets right to the point. I promise. Lol
You can get a felon for giving them a piece of paper or food? I did not know this. Do they train CO on all these rules? So a new CO would be aware? I am asking because I am considering this field lol.
Yes. There should be training on this.
Is a correctional officer allowed to wear a hat or shirt that says police? No right. Even though they are law enforcementm
Peace officers are police, corrections, sheriff, state police etc.
@@huntingandfishing3090 that's awesome so we are allowed to wear it than. That's great! I think all Correctional Officers Deserve it.
@@MrAngel-ir2lj well, its like a police officer wearing a sheriff hat. Look up "peace officer" hat. Saw a few. In Canada anyway its pretty normal term
@@huntingandfishing3090 thank you for letting me know that, I really appreciate the feedback didn't wanna sound stupid
