I've been working behind the Walls for years. My policy is... Keep 2 eyes on the inmates and 3 eyes on the staff members because it will be the staff members that will most likely get you.
Facts. That’s why I left. Administration was taking our tools away as officers, and officers began turning on each other. Still got homies who work there, but I knew what was coming
My dad was a corrections officer for 23 years and he told me that the inmates could take over the prison at anytime. Holding the prison is a different story all together!
yeah but they separate themselves and make "OPPS" or "Enemies" so they'll never get together and tear that fence down and storm out of the doors LOL Too much ego, not enough bigger perspective.
Hey man I just heard that COs have one of the highest divorce rates, did ur mom and dad ever divorce? I'm only asking cause I remember when I was in highschool these COs from Chino Prison came for career day but they didn't mention high divorce rates shit is fucked up
Some channels just haven’t got the skills to do long form interviews. Some channels haven’t caught on the popularity of those conversations either. It’s basically a podcast with video. Tell me what’s the difference between Rogan and if Herc rapped with this dude for 3 hrs? Nothing
Great interview. He seems like a good guy . I went to juvenile corrections in idaho when i was 15 and the guards taught us how to be men and it made me want to be a good man. Im still in contact with some and im thankful we have men like this to be a role model for my generation.
sounds like they have a good juvenile offender program. In Los Angeles California it was a shit show. The system just made the kids worse. Unless you got extremely lucky and went to a place like you described.
@@balthazarbratt8194 from what I have heard its one of the best facilities in the nation for juvenile offender rehabilitation. Idaho isn't nearly as dangerous as cali so its a lot easier to do good out here if you want.
@balthazarbratt8194 yeah I hate making excuses for people that are unwarranted but CA YA is a disgusting system that seems to make or at least let kids get worse.
Great interview big Herc.. I been following LT Bravo since he started his “ prison Guard” channel.. great dude. Hands down to both you all for doing what you do.?? Keep pushing that positivity .!!
Someone in my family used to work for the county jail and the stories he had already told me jail ain’t for ANYONE to go to. We have no other choice but to raise our children to have goals and vision for higher in life. Too many kids aren’t being raised at all and are following the streets, which I either leads to jail or to the coffin. And NO ONE in social media, news media, anywhere cares. No one’s calling out lack of parenting, no one’s calling out lack of morals and having self-control. It’s easy to incite riots and looting over small things, but no one wants to call people out on the real things. Those things require each of us to look ourselves in the mirror and be real.
But they can call people out for being anti semitic or anti vax or racist or whatever non stop, almost always being false. Latest example is woody harrelson. Instantly like 77 articles calling him an anti vaxxer blah blah blah. It's pathetic and embarrassing.
"No one’s calling out lack of parenting" Of course not when western nations are still overpopulated. This is Darwinism at work and the government knows it.
So start with yourself! You called it out here, so call it out in real life convo too. Ghandi said "we must be the change we want to see in the world". And this was way back in the 1930's & 40's. It applies today too!
This is a great interview, alot of kids have definitely been running around wild, it's almost like taking the children away from their parents when their parents were keeping them in line and they start doing crazy things
When you work in a prison you are doing time with the inmates. I have never met a CDCR officer that wasn't wound tighter than new bolts on a bridge. Also, there is a HUGE rate of divorce for these people. Hardest job out there....by far.
New bolts on a bridge lol that's fkn TIGHT. Idk I knew COs that had cake jobs, barely did anything just getting a check. Especially all the level 1. But even the higher levels, it sucks more, but they're also locked down almost all the time so. Definitely depends what prison & what pod or whatever but. I don't think you can say the hardest. it's not making the easy list tho that's for sure.
Man, hearing these stories always gives me a renewed appreciation for life and freedom. #NeverSettleForAverage , but at the same time, never take your freedom and blessings for granted. 🙏🙌
I've been a CO at a maximum security juvenile prison for 3 years 13 years total, and based on what I've experienced so far, I won't allow anyone to get behind me. Nor will I sit anywhere near the middle of any restaurant. I'm always sitting at the back of the restaurant, closest to the door. I also keep my protection with me at all times. It's weird because even people I've never met a clearly aware that I have protection on me.
Many people I work with came from a correctional officer background and every single one of them are huge on not working over time and act like they have ptsd because they said they get mandated(forced) to stay over almost every night. They had horrible things to say about the job.
Exactly. I had 10 years In for south east and left because of politics and stupidity in admin. When the easiest part of the job is inmates then it's time to go. Plus same thing with generation mentality on both ends too. Neither side knows how to talk to people nor think for themselves..
Big H you look like you in my grandparents den ol sun. Chair, drapes , wardrobe and all. Great video Carnál. Miss you doing these interviews. Lotta cats out there in the “prison Channel” genre. But you was one of the First. Keepm comin my friend
It’s a mannerism which humans do when they are recalling memories. He never avoided eye contact. He was trying pull deep memories from subconscious to full awareness.
that's a goofy thing to point out. Herc always looks off to the side when he's locked into a topic. Almost every person does this in some way too, it is a form of recollection and introspection commonly known as a "1000 yard stare". This isn't exclusively attributed to people with severe PTSDv
Couldn't be anymore right on kids these days I had a 19 year old who was born 2004. He's like yeah I don't remember 911 like he was so detached from what happened. But us as older people have to be better in raising these kids
"My honor and integrity are worth more than any dollar". Whoa dude....I haven't heard that said in a very long time, by anyone. And I've straight up NEVER heard anyone younger than him say it. Huge respect for that, very few are capable of saying that honestly, huge props dude, especially having been in a very potentially lucrative position where you were able to potentially manipulate entire lives and basically play God in a dystopia....huge respect....
Back in the days, walking down the street the older homie will always walk near the street and put you on the side of him. Just in case a drive by or something, he will get hit first.

How will they “get you”?
@@joaquinvega8638nigga what u mean ??? What happened the way your describing it is like civil war

The cell. That’s until squad comes and take to out of it. California prison have less blind spots with lots of gun towers. Real bullets.
@@holdingcopsaccountable6554yeah certain max prisons like in Cali no chance your getting shot by 5 m14s before you make it 50 yards
Hey man I just heard that COs have one of the highest divorce rates, did ur mom and dad ever divorce? I'm only asking cause I remember when I was in highschool these COs from Chino Prison came for career day but they didn't mention high divorce rates shit is fucked up
The same on slave plantations
This was a really great interview, my only complaint is that it wasn’t longer, because yall vibed so well. Thank you for this none the less❤️
I hope a part 2 is on its way
@@Chi_Till_I_Die773 agreed❤️

This officer is a stand up gentleman. Understands the unwritten rules of life. His kids will be raised right! 💪

“We went away and nobody left the youngsters the playbook.” Damn. Felt that
That encapsulates the degradation of todays society. Good catch Corey
The play book the "OG's" had was terrible though. It lead to long sentences and death for them.

But you're right man. No one cares about almost anything that matters anymore. Just obsessed with the DUMBEST shit ever

They promote and applaud single mother hood. Because the courts and prisons make millions upon millions of dollars from their offspring.
This is a great interview, alot of kids have definitely been running around wild, it's almost like taking the children away from their parents when their parents were keeping them in line and they start doing crazy things
Great one big Herc respect from the uk
When you work in a prison you are doing time with the inmates. I have never met a CDCR officer that wasn't wound tighter than new bolts on a bridge. Also, there is a HUGE rate of divorce for these people. Hardest job out there....by far.
Probably is a very stressful job
Why is it so high?
New bolts on a bridge lol that's fkn TIGHT. Idk I knew COs that had cake jobs, barely did anything just getting a check. Especially all the level 1. But even the higher levels, it sucks more, but they're also locked down almost all the time so.
Definitely depends what prison & what pod or whatever but. I don't think you can say the hardest. it's not making the easy list tho that's for sure.
Switching to Panopticon prisons would fix that problem but then the guards would complain about not getting enough hours.
Definitely not the hardest job out there. By far.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK HECTOR, YOUR ON A ROLL MY BOI.👊🏻
Man, hearing these stories always gives me a renewed appreciation for life and freedom. #NeverSettleForAverage , but at the same time, never take your freedom and blessings for granted. 🙏🙌
Well said
Free range slaves are still slaves
Fire interview! 🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That's what's up Bravo. Great interview wih Herc. Continue with spitting that truth and knowledge. Stay safe and blessed.
Great interview, definitely need a part 2!
Hector Bravo. I believe your a good guy. I wish you success and good health. Good luck to you!!!
Really informative info. Thanks for another great show Big Herc.
I've been a CO at a maximum security juvenile prison for 3 years 13 years total, and based on what I've experienced so far, I won't allow anyone to get behind me.

Are you short and fat ?
This the content we NEEDED 💯💯💯💯
Big Herc is blending in with that chair..
I would like to see more. It’s nice to see the other side of things from a prison guard’s point of view.
Probably one of my favorite interviews and I’ve seen a lot of your interviews. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Warsh yer ath! Shout out Big Herc 💪🏾
I've never seen a prison channel like this. Big Herc putting out great work.
pinkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
BIG HERC!!! Much Love!
This was a great video. Love the format
Many people I work with came from a correctional officer background and every single one of them are huge on not working over time and act like they have ptsd because they said they get mandated(forced) to stay over almost every night. They had horrible things to say about the job.
This was a goody bro thanks 🙏🏾 💪🏾
Great interview. I wish it was longer but still refreshing to listen to
Salute Hector! Amazing life and great guy !
Thanks O.G. for the content.
MY ONLY COMPLAINT BIG HERC:
THIS SHOULD'VE BEEN LONGER
GREAT INTERVIEW BTW
Very interesting show and thanks for sharing
What up Herc. Peace and blessings bro 🙏🏾
Great one
Great videos Big Herc
Hope you are doing well
Hey, thanks
Hector seems like a pretty chill dude. I wonder where he grew up, he's got an odd accent.
Brawley, CA.
Sounds cowboyish and Mexican
Exactly. I had 10 years In for south east and left because of politics and stupidity in admin. When the easiest part of the job is inmates then it's time to go. Plus same thing with generation mentality on both ends too. Neither side knows how to talk to people nor think for themselves..
“When the easiest part of the job is inmates, then it’s time to go” 💯
Same reason I stopped being a CO. Inmates were easier to get along with and understood respect more than Management and other COs
Peace Of Mind is Priceless !
Good interview,hector is good people
9mins-13mins is so fuxkin real bro
Realness being spewed here.. Great Interview
I have a shirt from you at says wig splitter. My wife accidentally wore to school on casual Friday. She said the kids were laughing.
I can never say this enough. I really enjoy your interviews ese. Always knocking them out of the park. God bless and a huge shout out from Dallas, TX.
@2:06 ...exactly who should. Except for direct public oversight, which is cameras with mics on streamed live, everywhere public resources are used.
More of this guy Herc.
S/o Lt Hector Bravo and Big Herc, real recognize real.
Yes this is what we want, good shit
One of the best videos I seen u post in a while Herk
Great interview Mr Herc
Great interview! Interesting
Great show bigg herc👊
Big H you look like you in my grandparents den ol sun. Chair, drapes , wardrobe and all.
Great video Carnál. Miss you doing these interviews. Lotta cats out there in the “prison Channel” genre. But you was one of the First. Keepm comin my friend
Won’t never be any structure or discipline without the OG’s-Big homies #facts
Real talk fellas!💯❤️👍🏾💜🙋🏽♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
I find it interesting how the reason you go to jail is for not following rules and then you go to jail and it’s nothing but rules.
Good shit!
Dude is a good guy!
Best interview nowadays
Nice episode Herc. Props!
Never seen you avoid eye contact like in this video.

Good interview
We need the full interview
Hector S great! I follow him on his channel n am a big fan of his.
Respect.
Big herc your awesome bro, stay positive.
Love Hector's accent.
Prisons are for-profit by any means necessary😳 No Emotions attached 😊
Wow dude was an LT. That’s a great paying job and walked away. That says a lot
Big herc you in banky pound need to do a interview
Prison. Where you can learn what hooping and cheeking is. Sounds nice.
Too good to be so short. Bring him back.
Big Hercs back on his bread 🍞 and butter 🧈 😊😁
Standing for truth 👏👍
Wait, so you're saying that they work for their bosses?
Herc this a wig split for talking to the C.O.what yall was talking about??
All jokes ✊
We had him on the TH-cam streets podcast
I wish they had a channel like this for the guys that went to college instead of prison.
It does though. TH-cam has videos for pretty much anything you are in to.
Damn that was a good ass interview.
this officer voice man, you can hear the south cali.
I respect this guy bouncing on that shit, there's more then money in life...
Gonna wash my ass, thanks Big Herc!

Real talk. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
All this reading between the lines and innuendos is EXHAUSTING!! Just possibly state what the fans issues are....
Also when I saw the thumbnail before reading the title I was like yo wtf is Big Herc chatting with Johnny Manziel?!
