My CYA time was probably one of the most stressful and exhausting experiences of my life. Each day was its own mind warp. I still find myself trying to unwind from it all. I can honestly say it made doing time afterwards in prison much easier than anyone who didn’t experience CYA. My tour in the 90’s consisted of OH Close, Karl Holton, Preston, Chad, and YTS. It just kept getting worse. Cheers to all the YA babies!
I just spoke with a friend in Kern Valley last night who was a wood in OH Closed and Chad in the 90s (Bugsy). He credits that time for preparing him for level 4 prison life, but says it was some of the hardest time of his life.
I came very close to going to CYA. It was truly by the grace of God I sapoed out and changed my life. All the South siders I was in Juvenile hall with were there and very affiliated so it's predictable I would have went down that road and never got out. God is real and great 🙏🏽❤️😇
I appreciate these YA stories. Luckily kids today wont have to go through it, but for many of us it was a life forming experience. I still have habits & behaviors from my time there, & think about it every day.
Luckily? Prison is not a good alternative. I learned everything i use today to succeed in CYA. It was journey for sure. Not for the weak hearted. Saludos a todos los YA BABIES from the 90s. #70336!
sounds like ptsd but it’s called institutional syndrome which is essentially a mental disorder / mental defect. sorry you’re still traumatized from that experience
My beloved brother did time in YA Chino Ontario back in the late 80s to early 90s. He was also locked up in a youth authority facility in Norwalk. Was some of the most painful time for all of our family. My brother is a very successful business man these days, a no nonsense guy but he told me stories about survival in that place that just sounded horrific. Thanks for this video.
My brother you are such a great story teller with wisdom on a subject we know nothing about but are completely fascinated with. I just found your channel last week and look forward to your videos every day. I listen at work, while working on my car, while at my kids soccer practice, while drifting off to sleep. I look forward to your future content! To your health, prosperity and to turning your life around, I bet you hit 100K before summer 👊🏽
SOLIDIERS CAME OUT OF THERE FOR THE CAUSA GOD FOR GIVE THAT WERE BETRAYED AND PAYED THE ULTIMATE PRICE PRAYERS AND A CANDEL I LITE FOR THIER FAMILIA THAT STILL 🙏 SUFFERS I KNOW I HAVE FAMILIA FRIENDS CHILD SCHOOL FRIENDS JUVINILE HALL YTS TRACY CHINO CENTRAL PEACE ✌️ A ND BLESSINGS 🙌 🙏
I never went to CYA. I spent the early 90”s in and out of Cali youth camps. Did months at Camp Miller, months in Camp Smith, months in Camp Mendenhall and months in Camp Gonzalez. The politics were the same at the camps when I was there. Thanks for the content.
I played football @ Paso, lived in San Sim the college dorm. # 36642. Way more action @ my next stops though , YTS , then the Pen.I finished my E# paroled from CORCORAN. 30 years later I'm married with grand kids . Congrats are your success bro . Papa G
I didn’t do time in Cali but I spent 18 months in a juvenile correctional facility which was under the DOC in the state I live in. Out of all the time I did later on in the adult joint the juvenile correctional center was the hardest time I did. The consequences physically were more serious in the adult system but the frequency of activity in the juvenile system was just off the chain and the staff there were nuts as well. I can’t say I know exactly what you went through because I’m not from the west coast but I could relate to the stress of just having to constantly do shi& to not become a victim of what you spoke on. Much love and respect.
My brother in law did I don’t know how many years in CYA before he went to prison. Man I heard some stories but one that stuck was about how the guards used to plan fights and they were all placing bets on who would win. When I first heard about it I was surprised but then again not surprised at all.
That happened everywhere, Juvenile Halls, Camps (Depending Where), YA's and Prisons in those days. Things changed after all the Lawsuits, Media Attention, Whistleblowers & Cancer Culture Against LEOs/ Prisons later and the generation after us- Millenials didnt have to live through what many of us Gen X'ers did. Race vs Race, Gangs vs Gangs, Human vs Human. For the Juvenile System, lots of the sick depraved staffers that set these up got the most kick out of breaking up the fights, tackling us, feeling their petty sense of empowerment over others. They especially loved to pepper spray us kids.
@@josephgee2515great perspective. Don’t you think it’s a good thing these kids didn’t have to experience that. You shouldn’t have had to experience that either. Messed up
@@blackhorsegrind4255 IF The System was run the way it was supposed to, it wouldnt have been so bad and so traumatic for life, for so many. Lots of kids today, for all the same reasons we did (sadly), need to go down their paths, like we did also unless, they have healthy alternatives they have available to implement and want to put in the effort. Mentoring, Talking, Showing Love & Compassion or even Tough Love will only go so far "IF" they are ALREADY down That Path. Its going to have to take some rough experiences they did not have to go through unfortunately, as bad as it sounds. Fortunately for kids today, lots of The Gang Culture is gone, so are the Crack and Meth eras. During my time also, lots of my closest "Street Brothers" were also Orphans and Refugees having literally escaped with their lives from Communist Nations, watching their Family members die in front of them, Escaping after their 2nd or 3rd attempts and having to be put in Re-education camps in-between those attempts so, lots of the things going on in that era only hardened many of them which, rubbed off on us that were Born here or also Immigrated here. Honestly, kids today dont have to experience what lots of us Gen X have. I realize there will always be those who come from Broken Homes, Parents Addicted to Drugs or Their Parents Experiencing Recidivism of Incarceration and/ or Their being Raised in Foster Homes or Raised by Grandparents. Those are rough things for any kids to have to experience from any age. I think theres too much nuances to describe and put into words here but, thats just me though and I think every case with kids should be a case by case basis but, I know we just dont have funding so that kids have all the tools that we need to help kids succeed and that there is also vetting of volunteers who do mentoring of kids. I think what hurt lots of people most was having a victimhood mindset. Those people also Loved Company in Misery so to speak. Thank you for you kind words. It is what it is and I have grown from my experiences and refuse to be a victim. This isnt also The Land of Opportunity but also, The Land of 2nd Chances at Life. I feel lots of people would be better off knowing just how good we have life here in this country as opposed to places many of us or our Families came from.
Dubs over here putting in overtime with another banger ass NEW VIDEO! I know my homie R. Melendez went to Paso Robles early 90's luckily I never did. Only O.C. juvi, YGC & Los Piños.
I was an M number in 96. Did SRCC and Preston for a minute before i went to the joint. I agree, savage shit went down. Swoll ass vatos doIng YA life and my young skinny self trying to get em up with these dudes pushing a line. Caught a pegada on a bully who was getting head from a leva. Went to DVI right after that. I enjoy what you do here Dubs. Salute to you sir.
I remember back in the 90s we had a few dudes come to our 7th grade class and speak. I remember seeing them roll up in white van all shackled up. The teachers ended up getting all butthurt when we didnt look at them like animals or criminals.
I did 4 yrs in YA back in the 90's I did my time at Paso Robles (cholame) to be exact it was on and crackin no joke gladiator school homeboy!!! Great content dubs keep it up ese!!!💯
The where afried, thinking they would lose their lifes, But who ever make it out, after fight there own Raza Enemigas Homeboys and not letting anyone or anything break them, including the C.O's. Strong minded cool hearted and G's.. there is no room for weakness. See you at sick call, see you in the lockers, see you in the blines jajajaja after fighting so much you truely learn, how strong you truely are. Brake it down. Saludos to true carnalismo. Feels good to see Everyone in the main line show love y respecto.
The juveniles halls will not close down, they have been unsuitable for years and still figure out how to correct the issues and have BSCC allow them to do enough to stay open. Crime isn’t down, the laws have made crime acceptable behavior in California
@J.I.21 - I agree, in regards to crime, it’s only going to get worse, because these clowns call it racist to lock up the criminals committing the crimes. The usual suspects.
Trips to Los Padrinos and Central Juvenile Halls prepped me to be tough by the time I did two+ years on San Miguel at El Paso. San Miguel in the 70’s was the only cottage at El Paso that those with a 187 could be housed in so other worst of the worst were sent there too. I arrived on San Miguel as a scrawny 16 year old shocked to see grown ass men in their late teens and early 20’s with thick moustaches who had spent years on the weight pile. You had to be willing to box it out to survive and anybody that got punked or turned out would’ve had to roll it up or else the rest of us could be deemed no good for housing with them. Now I’m just an old man that doesn’t draw a second glance but you never really know what others have been through. It was a long time before I thought the answer to every conflict was to punch someone in the face. The frequent brutality by the wards and staff would not be believed by most people today.
I can’t speak on the 90s drama. As of 2024, my brother is a detention officer in Fresno County. You have kids from up and down the state coming to Fresno. Bulldogs have the numbers, south siders and northerns come together and fight against them. Facts 💯
I did time in Los Padrinos and Central.Mr. Dunn ran central at the time and he was a very stern but compassionate man. he tried to put on a mini carnival and paid out of his pocket for everything. the experience truly wasn’t bad but def made me realize i only wanted that to be a faze of my life and not my complete existence. when you grow up in the hood in La streets just become your playground and when you’re young you don’t have a true awareness of crimes though you know right from wrong. first tst was a hand tat and that’s because it’s an identifier and i would be dumb to do a crime and be easily ID’d
Did tome in Illinois and heard some stories about the juvie at st charles and man it sounds hella wild definitely glad a didnt get locked up as a shorty that shit sounds treacherous
I was in Paso from 78-81, we had to fight at least once a wk. Lotta true bangers back in the day. I feel bad for these young kids that only know about weapons no hands!.. Tieqoun Cox was in Paso in 81 just when I was getting out. Lil Fee..look his crimes up. Crazy
My grandfather worked there from 1970 till he retired a few years before it closed. One of my neighbors was part of that drug bust they did on the staff. Crazy stories..Back in the early 90’s my preschool took us on a field trip to the boys school lol y’all gave us tonka trucks. It’s wild seeing it at night with not being used. Shits going to be a warehouse now
I was 19 when I got in trouble. When I did my Alford plea I was a couple days away from my 20, my lawyer told me “hell no!!” When the judge asked us if we wanted to go to YA- 🤪 He said he would withdrawal as counsel if we agreed to YA. Now this was back in 93, but I doubt things has changed that much.
YA A HELL HOLE I never had to experience it but I had a handful of homeboys that did and the conversations I had with them about being there it was a sadistic place. and people that ran that place at that time should have charges against them basic human rights for a start
you dont even know man was in PSI in OCT95 - FEB97 85% in (the castles boiler room) lockup , where there was open windows for winter and closed in summer , old water heaters you had to kick over and over in hopes you could get it going ( some cells never worked) while rolling up our mat from 4am-9pm daily only having boxers and 3 TP rolls ( 6-squares of TP per ) in cell 23/1 programing in dog cages ( 8x8x12 chain link fencing cells ) where theyd place you with whoever you disliked most just to watch you fight then spray and gas you while jumping on your head and dragging you hog tied in handcuffs and shackles back to your cell ( even up the stairs if your cell was up them ) but the whole time betting as to who was going to win the fight and who was going to fight back against them when it came time to break it up , and being white from KC in YA i was hated from all sides so it was easy to max out 18 months into 6 1/2 years ,
CYA on a whole is the education of hard knocks!!! Grew up in YA OH Close, Ventura, Karl Holton, Preston, YTS. Fought my way through the system like everyone else 83 thru 92
Crime hasn’t gone down, the state is forcing the counties to house their offenders. In the early 2000’s Monterey County shipped a lot of us down to Paso due to our hall being dilapidated. Back in those days we only had Dorm open, if you were one of the lucky few who was sentenced already you’d get a wake up call around 2-3am & was told to roll it up because you were on your way to Paso Robles. Just recently (past few years) a new state of the art, modernized juvenile hall opened. I spoke to my old probation officer who said that due to some youth authorities closing down, the county has to rehabilitate these offenders.
🇺🇸🇲🇽😂8:29 😂I got a bike stolen & My Friend’s Father said “ You go back up there & Fight him again but Tell him it Don’t matter if he is on the Other Side of the Street We’re going to fight ! “ I did that & the Next day when I got home from school my bike was there ! They Knew I stole the bike off the Air Force Base but my friend’s Dad didn’t ! 😂✌️🤟😉👍
My cousin and my homeboy went to Fred C. Nellis in Whittier in the 90’s. Were you ever locked up there when you were in CYA. Most of my friends went to Los Padrinos
🇺🇸🇲🇽😔I never was in CYA but someone I knew told me that Someone I knew was abusing younger CYA kids . When I told him Dude locked it up ; he Said “ Good.” & that is a Story in it self because we where in a Jail cell & I had been 1 of 3 to Remove him on an ad-seg Group yard . He Had No animosity after those few years .😉👍✌️🤟
I did 3 years in tyc (tyc is Texas youth commission it's prison for kids)as a kid for an attempted mrdr charge. Those days in there were so full of violence. As a pissed off kid I didn't mind it. Looking back though I regret every minute away. That's just shit you don't learn till you're older
In my country, we have only one juvenile prison (kinda like what CYA was, based on your explanation). Only the most severe teen criminals were held there. They would try every other option before sending them there - social services, house arrests, multiple second chances, etc. It is by far the worst prison in my country, far and away beyond adult facilities. R*pe and other horrendous crimes take place there, in an exponentially higher volume than adult prisons. Researchers in my country concluded that this is because these are teenagers. They are not built to be locked down like this, it brings the absolute worst out of them.
Hit Preston in ‘89 and got shipped out to open Chad in ‘92. Was a barber in Chad they used to take a us to O.H. in ‘94 to cut the youngsters hair. I cut a youngsters hair from Bakers about 10 yrs old. Sad!!
This is sad because the guards are paid a lot of money and for them to allow this is as criminal as the acts taking place . It’s sad and understandable why many people in the system as kids continued returning throughout their lives because of the hate fostered by those environments
These wannabes now days would be in 4 legs and knees everyday they got no idea what ccrc or nelles was like back in the 70s 80s specially with those mind games it was like being at a 3 month marine boot camp . Vatos now days don't have what we had at that time 🥚🥚
I would believe crime would have to be going down look at 95% of kids today stuck on video games or sell phones isn't any of them co ING outside these days lol
I never did time in California. But I went to boy's homes starting at 13. Even there most kids were 2-4yrs older than me. We had two lodge style dorms up in the mountains on a ranch and it was run by religious groups with 1 staff member in each dorm of 30 boys during the day and 1 at night for both or 60 boys. Each had a corrupt trustee kid who was usually months from aging out at 18. I was there 6 mo before I escaped and was constantly having to fight 1 on 1 and in groups against the other dorm. I cracked the staff member from the other dorm with a hay fork handle and all I heard was snoring as I got up out of there.
CYA was originally under Health and Welfare before it was taken over by CDCR. They had 'counselors" before the Correction Officers took over. YTS was very well documented in the film "Tatooed Tears" thats here on TH-cam. YTS was renamed Hermann Starke Youth Facility before it closed a few years ago,
That’s crazy. Having kids in there with up to 24 year old men. What did they think was gonna happen. I was in a HMP and YOI here in the uk and us young offenders were 15-17 and the HMP prisoners were 18-21 and we were kept separate on different wings with access to different yards. I had mates in the HMP sections and the only times I ever saw them was if by coincidence we were being moved to visits at the same time and would see them as I’m coming off my wing and they coming off there wing but we were escorted separately and kept in different holding cells over at the visiting hall. I could maybe chat for 30 seconds max before a screw (CO) would be on us.
Both had to be dropped “leva” right? because how does one guy be dropped leva for doing the act but the other guy receiving the act be “firme” still. They both the same doing those things.
Represented the wood pile from 1988 to 1995 OH.CLOSE and maxed out in CHAD # 53993. Crazy times back then, SUR and WOODS were super close at that time. C/R EVIL YOUNGSTER Sou th SACTO 2316
@@PaulinoRver-ng3ge I started off on Sacramento for orientation then went to American. Back then they had all our windows covered up, we couldn't look out in the day rooms at all. We would roll up paper sticks and go from the side of the door and open the flaps . This was at the end of 1994 to May of 1995.
My CYA time was probably one of the most stressful and exhausting experiences of my life. Each day was its own mind warp. I still find myself trying to unwind from it all. I can honestly say it made doing time afterwards in prison much easier than anyone who didn’t experience CYA.

I did time in Los Padrinos and Central.Mr. Dunn ran central at the time and he was a very stern but compassionate man. he tried to put on a mini carnival and paid out of his pocket for everything. the experience truly wasn’t bad but def made me realize i only wanted that to be a faze of my life and not my complete existence. when you grow up in the hood in La streets just become your playground and when you’re young you don’t have a true awareness of crimes though you know right from wrong. first tst was a hand tat and that’s because it’s an identifier and i would be dumb to do a crime and be easily ID’d
I was on paso from 1994 to 2000. Then got shippwd out to yts. And paroled in 2002. Straight gladiator school.
What was your ya#
Man thats fucked up, i think the worst was that gym story you told. How someone like that is or was allowed to work with kids is crazy
Whats the link to that story?
@@briandiaz9742 th-cam.com/video/XlWKihFAoKE/w-d-xo.html&si=H-JizL5eBOgGi77i
I tried linking it but it didn't show up on here for some reason. It's titled "CYA torture program" you gota scroll 6months back but it's easy to spot
That gym td wasn’t nothing nice
Did tome in Illinois and heard some stories about the juvie at st charles and man it sounds hella wild definitely glad a didnt get locked up as a shorty that shit sounds treacherous
I was in Paso from 78-81, we had to fight at least once a wk. Lotta true bangers back in the day. I feel bad for these young kids that only know about weapons no hands!.. Tieqoun Cox was in Paso in 81 just when I was getting out. Lil Fee..look his crimes up. Crazy
I used to work by yts a couple years ago passing by it every morning .. it gave off a strange ambiance
My grandfather worked there from 1970 till he retired a few years before it closed. One of my neighbors was part of that drug bust they did on the staff. Crazy stories..Back in the early 90’s my preschool took us on a field trip to the boys school lol y’all gave us tonka trucks. It’s wild seeing it at night with not being used. Shits going to be a warehouse now
Great video
I was 19 when I got in trouble. When I did my Alford plea I was a couple days away from my 20, my lawyer told me “hell no!!” When the judge asked us if we wanted to go to YA- 🤪 He said he would withdrawal as counsel if we agreed to YA. Now this was back in 93, but I doubt things has changed that much.
YA A HELL HOLE I never had to experience it but I had a handful of homeboys that did and the conversations I had with them about being there it was a sadistic place. and people that ran that place at that time should have charges against them basic human rights for a start
you dont even know man was in PSI in OCT95 - FEB97 85% in (the castles boiler room) lockup , where there was open windows for winter and closed in summer , old water heaters you had to kick over and over in hopes you could get it going ( some cells never worked) while rolling up our mat from 4am-9pm daily only having boxers and 3 TP rolls ( 6-squares of TP per ) in cell 23/1 programing in dog cages ( 8x8x12 chain link fencing cells ) where theyd place you with whoever you disliked most just to watch you fight then spray and gas you while jumping on your head and dragging you hog tied in handcuffs and shackles back to your cell ( even up the stairs if your cell was up them ) but the whole time betting as to who was going to win the fight and who was going to fight back against them when it came time to break it up , and being white from KC in YA i was hated from all sides so it was easy to max out 18 months into 6 1/2 years ,
I paroled in January 1992 as well YTS ! E&F C&D and G&H . It was on and poping !
CYA on a whole is the education of hard knocks!!! Grew up in YA OH Close, Ventura, Karl Holton, Preston, YTS. Fought my way through the system like everyone else 83 thru 92
Karl Holton, Chad.
Texas has its own Texas Youth Commission
Crime hasn’t gone down, the state is forcing the counties to house their offenders. In the early 2000’s Monterey County shipped a lot of us down to Paso due to our hall being dilapidated. Back in those days we only had Dorm open, if you were one of the lucky few who was sentenced already you’d get a wake up call around 2-3am & was told to roll it up because you were on your way to Paso Robles. Just recently (past few years) a new state of the art, modernized juvenile hall opened. I spoke to my old probation officer who said that due to some youth authorities closing down, the county has to rehabilitate these offenders.
🇺🇸🇲🇽😂8:29 😂I got a bike stolen & My Friend’s Father said “ You go back up there & Fight him again but Tell him it Don’t matter if he is on the Other Side of the Street We’re going to fight ! “ I did that & the Next day when I got home from school my bike was there ! They Knew I stole the bike off the Air Force Base but my friend’s Dad didn’t ! 😂✌️🤟😉👍
Positive comments!!
My cousin and my homeboy went to Fred C. Nellis in Whittier in the 90’s. Were you ever locked up there when you were in CYA. Most of my friends went to Los Padrinos
U got thru it bro!!!!!!
🇺🇸🇲🇽😔I never was in CYA but someone I knew told me that Someone I knew was abusing younger CYA kids . When I told him Dude locked it up ; he Said “ Good.” & that is a Story in it self because we where in a Jail cell & I had been 1 of 3 to Remove him on an ad-seg Group yard . He Had No animosity after those few years .😉👍✌️🤟
I did 3 years in tyc (tyc is Texas youth commission it's prison for kids)as a kid for an attempted mrdr charge. Those days in there were so full of violence. As a pissed off kid I didn't mind it. Looking back though I regret every minute away. That's just shit you don't learn till you're older
In my country, we have only one juvenile prison (kinda like what CYA was, based on your explanation). Only the most severe teen criminals were held there. They would try every other option before sending them there - social services, house arrests, multiple second chances, etc. It is by far the worst prison in my country, far and away beyond adult facilities. R*pe and other horrendous crimes take place there, in an exponentially higher volume than adult prisons. Researchers in my country concluded that this is because these are teenagers. They are not built to be locked down like this, it brings the absolute worst out of them.
here in uk our youth jails are now out of control, stabbings every day,,,,very bad
Hit Preston in ‘89 and got shipped out to open Chad in ‘92. Was a barber in Chad they used to take a us to O.H. in ‘94 to cut the youngsters hair. I cut a youngsters hair from Bakers about 10 yrs old. Sad!!
I Was in Paso for a couple of Years… 88 to 91 Nipomo and Los Osos West #53915
🇺🇸🇲🇽😂11:26 Mind Games ; when I got to Prison just about Every Body had taken a Physic “ Collage Class!” 😳😂
This is sad because the guards are paid a lot of money and for them to allow this is as criminal as the acts taking place . It’s sad and understandable why many people in the system as kids continued returning throughout their lives because of the hate fostered by those environments
Wow.........
I visited my brother every Sunday in chaderjan up in Stockton I was twelve early 2000’s
These wannabes now days would be in 4 legs and knees everyday they got no idea what ccrc or nelles was like back in the 70s 80s specially with those mind games it was like being at a 3 month marine boot camp . Vatos now days don't have what we had at that time 🥚🥚
Did juvie time in Colorado. Lookout Mountain School for Boysin 92. Cathouse dorm was cracking back then. Nothing crazy like CYA but still fun.😅
Dubes Nice Hat Ese what does SB stand for?
I would believe crime would have to be going down look at 95% of kids today stuck on video games or sell phones isn't any of them co ING outside these days lol
I did time in Juvy in San Diego in the 90s. Im so glad i never had to go to ya.
Have u done a video on "tattooed teardrops" ?
Dubs love your content! Can you do a video on white south siders in the cdc.
89-91 YTS was off tha chain. Was in a riot and on lockdown b4 my first day finished. Mannn.
Dubs do the youngsters answer too the legends like in adult.
I never did time in California. But I went to boy's homes starting at 13. Even there most kids were 2-4yrs older than me. We had two lodge style dorms up in the mountains on a ranch and it was run by religious groups with 1 staff member in each dorm of 30 boys during the day and 1 at night for both or 60 boys. Each had a corrupt trustee kid who was usually months from aging out at 18. I was there 6 mo before I escaped and was constantly having to fight 1 on 1 and in groups against the other dorm. I cracked the staff member from the other dorm with a hay fork handle and all I heard was snoring as I got up out of there.
It’d be interesting to listen to your indicted tv interview
Good video dubs
80's was different,southern raza were in honor rooms,it started to change in 90's
We have something similar in Tennessee that I went to as a youngster. It was called Taft YDC (YOUTH DEVELOPMENT CENTER).
and they act like they didnt know overcrowding would be a future issue. they literally facilitated the fkn problem.
All facts Paso 96-99 YTS 99-00 CDC 00-04 good video homie
CYA was originally under Health and Welfare before it was taken over by CDCR. They had 'counselors" before the Correction Officers took over. YTS was very well documented in the film "Tatooed Tears" thats here on TH-cam. YTS was renamed Hermann Starke Youth Facility before it closed a few years ago,
Saludos desde 310💪🏽
What year did you get out of the youth authority
93
I had a good buddy that went to YA around this time @@dubess
All I know is the one in Ventura County still open
All YA have closed since July 2023
Camarillo?? They all closed last year, like the Lady mentioned.
💯
Preston in the 90s will graduate you for a ticket to prison. I ended up in Tracy right after.
I played basketball with Ralph Rivas. He was a counselor at Nellis. Dirty player.
👍👍👍
That’s crazy. Having kids in there with up to 24 year old men. What did they think was gonna happen. I was in a HMP and YOI here in the uk and us young offenders were 15-17 and the HMP prisoners were 18-21 and we were kept separate on different wings with access to different yards. I had mates in the HMP sections and the only times I ever saw them was if by coincidence we were being moved to visits at the same time and would see them as I’m coming off my wing and they coming off there wing but we were escorted separately and kept in different holding cells over at the visiting hall. I could maybe chat for 30 seconds max before a screw (CO) would be on us.
Both had to be dropped “leva” right? because how does one guy be dropped leva for doing the act but the other guy receiving the act be “firme” still. They both the same doing those things.
Dubs must be bored doing 2 videos today ,hey all good brotha I rock with ya brotha..
I was committed to Ventura cya in July 1996 I was supposed to do a 90 day ob but it turned into 7 1/2 months I got out and never looked back

Chad pajaro hall. 97_99
Where were you at in chad?
@@PaulinoRver-ng3ge I started off on Sacramento for orientation then went to American. Back then they had all our windows covered up, we couldn't look out in the day rooms at all. We would roll up paper sticks and go from the side of the door and open the flaps . This was at the end of 1994 to May of 1995.
Any examples of the mind games they played might make for a good video
