This is rare information because most guys in supermax are never coming out to host podcasts.
Or not coming out in a box
Like Gaspipe
Very good observation
@@CIA_Killed_JFK casso just died last year. Dec 15th 2020.
There is prison at amx that sammy was in then they have the super max under ground those guys don't come out usually lifers because they are risks to National Security says the government Sammy was on top but the people he was talking about like Scarpa Jr there in the basement Underground you don't see the sky people who have 1000s of soldiers and to much power like el Chapo Latin King black p stone and other mob and gang bosses of Super organization bosses the ones that can make a call and get a person missing media isn't allowed know girl who had a family member die there
i would love to know what carlo gambino was like there is so little information about him please do a video on him! like if you agree
Yes
apparently he was very private they described him as grandfatherly
@UCGKw5dlA3TtV9i1yrJO6VKA in his book he said he spent some time with gambino. I thought i would ask i mean i would like to find out about gambino can you name somebody else i should ask that might no something about him because please i would love to know
@@A_Yo_brown for sure!
@@A_Yo_brown Im not trying to figure out how many body's the man had i wanna know did he have an accent what was his demeanor was he nice or a dick was he like a genuine Italian did he ever see him loose his temper
i appreciate these longer stories
This guy needs to do a pod w Lawton and Francheze
Jesus sammy....
@Rough Acres yeah but their prison stories would be insane. Lawton has more followers then both of them combined, it would help Sammy get his numbers up fast.
Yeah, Sammy , please do the longer stories!! 🙏🙏
incredible storyteller!
I did 5 yrs in a regular state prison, I thought how lonely it was there. You're surrounded by people, but you can never let your guard down and be yourself. It's exhausting, I can't imagine how bad the experience would be in ADX.
Easy work. Your never around others
I heard you cannot show weakness b/c theirs a lot of predators out their like sharks in the ocean that relate softness as a shark senses blood.
@@stephendacey8761 if you got it in you to stand up for yourself you'll be just fine. 90% of the sharks want a free meal. I did a few bids no problem. I got into a few fights in there. They don't last long and 9/10 times the guy just makes threats and when it comes time to get down they try to save face and move on to try someone else. If your a pushover your fuxxed. Don't go to prison.
@@stephendacey8761 another thing is we always worked out in our cells in plain view daily. Pushups, situps, and pullups. They never really bother with you if they see you have your routine. If you have a routine and your just towing the line it's no big deal. Easy ride. The loneliness is what gets you in there. I could care less about the other inmates and/ or sharks. The loneliness is horrible. Been in the hole a few times and it was just insane. You can literally hear the clock down the hall tick and seconds feel like minutes and there is nothing you can do. You can either beat your head against the wall, or go nuts. No windows, no connection to reality and half the time there is no hot water. Even in that condition when the hot water heaters are broken it's absolutely horrible. Made my stay 10 times worse. You get out and you push the wall of your shower because you forgot your home. You have to keep hitting a little steel button to keep the shower running for 10 seconds a push. When you get out you start pushing the wall in your own shower.
@@mattswich Wow...I bet doing the same thing day in and day out can make you go insane. I would think the boredom and being isolated would be the toughest part.
That's the rawest thing I've ever heard Sammy talk about. That's powerful
I wouldn’t have survived I can’t be in small places that I have no control of the door sometimes a public bus would freak me out and I would have to get out cause while it’s driving I can’t open does door I need to know I can open the door when ever I want
Yeah me too, it was powerful !
Too right!! I find it amazing that a Country such as the USA ,that leads the World in freedom, can treat human beings like that!! No matter what they have done
@@setdaviking1697 that is the whole point they know people like Sammy are going to get out and let everyone else know what a hell hole it is. A subtle warning to the masses you mess up in society and you may end up here.
Rich Weigel that doesn’t really stop anyone from going lol no1 chooses to go there there making examples out of these guys. If I was a guard I’d talk to Sammy but you know what he is the type that eventually will manipulate you into doing something lol he so cool u just want to help him
80% of our government belongs in ADX Supermax.
Man,you got that right!!
Aint that the truth there the real criminals!!
U ain’t never lied

Now you are making me cry
I am a nurse
I have served and loved so many people
I will never forget them
They were always more of a blessing than I could ever be to them
Straight talk about the hole. Memories of dreaming of the day I would be free again. Greatest day of my life when I was paroled. You really appreciate your freedom after being locked up.
dont think we in same country but it dont matter, same feeling in any country i imagine signing the release papers and waitin on the max security gate opening, not a feeling like it
@@njp25906 ewSAzz😀😂😋
Been there and done that..and your right, once your ib the hole and you get out...!! You don't want to go back.
100 percent!! ✅
23 and 1. So glad that I didn't endure it too long but believe me bro.....1 day is too long. Hell on Earth. Flying right since 92'.🙏
I’d be inclined to give this place a negative review on trip advisor.
That's very funny. Thanks.
I'm gonna wait on a few more reviews before I cross it off my list
They do have room service with meals though
One star on google maps. Lol!
Their Yelp rating must be very subpar.
My older brother did 10 years in the ADX, God the stories he has, that place is hell just like Sammy said
I did 3 years in a state max.
Normal people are understandably unable to believe how horrific, how malevolent so many of the conditions and practices are.
For those who take the stance 'they deserve it', let's see how you feel when it is your son, your brother, locked up and treated way worse than an animal.
@@Coffeeguyzz The County jails these days are complete shithole Gladiator,Young thug filled hell holes also ! I once did 180 days there but it was when Men acted like men,I doubt I could control myself with today's inmates ! Thankfully that was decades ago and I don't plan on ever going back.
Honest question guys, if prison was easier and you weren't treated like shit, which is how a lot of people treat others just going around their general business hence they get locked up. ( not saying you guys did that stuff). Do you think that environment made you less likely to re-offend?.
@@Coffeeguyzz Ask the victims and their families. I have more sympathy for them.
They need to reform our whole system it’s bs what they do to people scumbag government needs to change this ASAP
We’re blessed to have Sammy giving these stories to us. These stories would have disappeared from the face of the earth. Thank you.
"Blessed?" Tell that to the families of the 17 murdered victims.
@@ronaldmayle1823 He could’ve killed a million, I’ll still enjoy his stories.
@@dickburt69 And that's what they are...stories.
Fcker will be remembered for one thing ! Grass
This foo and his stories mean nothing to me.
I watched Gravano's video where he described the federal "supermax." His comment about the "Alcatraz of the Rockies" may seem difficult to believe, but Sammy is 99% accurate. As a former warden at the penitentiary, I agree that the ultra-secure environment is not humane and provides a setting that goes far beyond needed. If given a choice to be sentenced to life at the ADX or the death penalty --- doing time at the "supermax" would be a far worse penalty. Soon the federal death penalty will be discontinued (later this year). More inmates will be housed at this prison in Colorado instead of being put to death. Don't assume incarceration at this location would be better than the death penalty. Gravano was able to handle time at the prison --- many don't. Bob Hood (Warden - Retired. 2005)
I'd rather be dead than spend 20+ years at that prison 100% but thats just me im not a animal
Thanks for sharing. You correctional officers have one of the most extreme, difficult and dangerous jobs in the world. And you’re severely unappreciated. Even after doing it for a career, it’s nice to see compassion for their conditions in a supermax.
Thank you for telling it. It is too horrible to wrap my mind around - it needs to be exposed
P.O.S!
@@dickburt69 perfect name for you
If ever there was a deterrent against a life of crime, this story is it.
This a criminal who has lived into old age. In his earlier videos we laugh with admiration about the stories of his crimes and exploits of guts and cunning. Now in old age he tells us as a super predator he should of had a college dorm with kitchen privileges. Thats not how its supposed to be.

Shouldn't happen to anyone
But very few criminals end up there
@@3m5r56 ok...so hows it supposed to be ?
Sounds to me like the man learned from his suffering
Almost cried when he said he grabbed her finger and begged her no to leave. I’ve been locked up only 13 months but it felt like an eternity and when they close that door behind you and lock you in your alone with your thoughts. It’s heavy at times but like he did you just get through it. I worked out everyday I got out the best shape of my life and never went back almost 9 years now.
Almost cried? He killed 19 people you clown. He should have stay there for the rest of his life
That's what u get for being a criminal

God bless you and please never go back.
Most people would have a total meltdown in there. I'm glad your outta there and able to share with all of us. There really is such a thing as redemption. God bless!
U said redemption. Lol.
definition of tough leaving the hole/supermax after years and still being sane at all The mental fortitude is amazing
no only weak ppl dont make it
These videos Sammy is putting out, are hands down the best mob stories on TH-cam. As soon as his channel went up it was golden. I’m sold Sammy, keep em’ comin’
Thanks for sharing the story Sammy Not many people share stories about ADX Florence. Usually everybody there is never coming home
You’re right. Cameras have never even been inside
I got a cousin in there pulling 180...smh
Very true, Sammy has maybe provided the most intel available on what ADX Florence is like, because as you say, most guys inside, never leave.
For anyone that's curious, the documentaries about alcatraz prison is a great compliment to these videos because alcatraz was the first federal supermax before they had supermax prisons.
A man doesn't know his own abilities to survive unless his put in those kind of situations that's why I have so much respect for Mr. Sammy The Bull Gravano. Many blessings Sir 🙏
A murderer who betrayed his friend?
There’s reasons behind it all ya weirdo... it’s due or die in the mob. What friend betrayed who first, the better man won, karma got gotti 😁
I can hear the terrible pain in Sammy’s voice talking about this unbelievably, humiliating and painful time in prison. I can’t even imagine what one day of this horror was like. Thank you for sharing this story Sammy. This was heartbreaking to watch.
Usually happens to ya when your a underboss and killed 19 people lol. There not sending him to Disneyland
Reap what you sow, sammys a known cold blooded murderer, what do you expect the prison system to do, read him bedtime stories?
@@gc4644 , he’s not a serial killer or a child molester. They wouldn’t even let the man go to the bathroom in peace? That’s fucking going too far in my opinion.
@@enlightenedwarrior7119 , I understand what your saying, but there’s a difference between doing time and being tortured.
Heartbreaking ? He killed at least 19 people. He should be dead.
This was so damn real. He will never forget the woman who showed him compassion
He said that he could tell she had compassion because her "fucking face was sad, and she had tears in her fucking eyes. " He has tender memories of her alright.
Or the woman watching him taking a deuce
HE DESERVES NO COMPASSION!!! SAMMY IS LAUGHING AT ALL OF YOU FOR BEING SHEEP...AMAZING!!!
@@Capt_OscarMike 😂 you’re right actually
Hahahahaya as if he deserves it
Damn that story was way better than any short documentary on ADX. Thanks Sammy.
Now that's powerful. The fact Sammy is still alive and able to even talk after an experience like that is a miracle.
It's no invisible man looking out for him the FBI keepet him alive

Yea appreciate a guy that rated on 30 men ...put them away for life !!!
@@Robert06087 i appreciate the fact, that as a mob enthousiast, we get stories from a big shot out of that time. It’s not about what he’s done and what my opinion is on that.
Gravano belonged in prison. He doesn’t have any remorse for his crimes. Just wants to tell mafia stories and make some money off of it.
@@Robert06087 and murdered 20 people
@@charlesbaldo still his stories are intruiging and interesting. Whats the problem.
On one hand it's impressive that Gravano came out in such stable mental condition . On the other hand , we're listening to a man who inflicted so much pain , tortured and murdered so many people. However , his charisma and story telling style is both enthralling and a major deterrent to a dream of living the life. Good on you Sammy
I couldn't imagine 6 years in the hole. 3 months was long enough for me in state prison. That adx supermax sounds like mental hell on earth. You are a real one Sammy
My mind can not fathom the thought of being locked up in solitary for years. This would break me.
3 days, I wished I was dead. Only 3 days......
I’d b the one to loose it, go berserk, do something dumb and end up in the whole within a whole.
Solitary breaks the strongest of men...
@@web5271 did it drag by? How bad was it?
I wonder how Eric Rudolph is doing?
Mr. Gravano, you have a way with words that completely immerses people in your experiences. Years ago, when I read “Underboss”, it was the same immersive storytelling. Thank you for being brave enough to openly share your life.
@Good Fella she doesn’t care. She’s just like him. Wasn’t born with that part in your brain that has a sense of love. Just stone cold. No emotions. Killers they are
He killed 20 people…
These stories hit home bro keep telling your story..I could listen for hours about your life experiences and what makes you different to what people perceive you to be is that every single one of us who watch these videos can see the good and respect you got in you no matter what you've been tarnished with..keep up the hustle pleasure to listen to bro
You're celebrating a murderer and drug dealer like he's a hero.
What a tool.
And he made it out of there that’s a miracle in itself
This was a very profound and insightful description of your experience at ADX Super Max. Literally sounds like hell. Not many make it out of there.
Club med
Well it's not for regular inmates it's for killers, terrorists etc so no sympathy tbh
19 murders. 10 were 17 year olds and minors.
You think 5 years was a just sentence.
Or you support child killers?
You can see the pain in his face ,just recalling his time there
How about all the pain he caused other families when he killed there loved ones!
@@lots33ml
Or the ones he ratted on
Those men knew what the risk was.
Dont hate the player hates the game.
I do get your point though.
@@lots33ml He paid for it in the SuperMax.
@@lots33ml he killed killers. They knew the consequences. Stop feeling sorry for scumbags
I remember reading Underboss when I was about 13 years old. I pulled the book off my dad's bookshelf at random. Needless to say, I've been interested in Sammy's story ever since. I grew up in Brooklyn, and lived in Bath Beach for a time, so reading about Sammy's youth felt like a story close to home for me. It's fascinating to hear about this side of reality, one that would otherwise be inconceivable to most, and from such a candid and eloquent source! Your videos are very much appreciated, Sammy.
12:42 to 13:09 you can see the emotion in Sammy's eyes. Incredible.
I am so amazed at the mental, emotional strength you had to deal with this despicable life in this prison.
he had no choice
Fucksake, wow, there’s a lot of honesty and emotion right there
Good comment agree
He’s a masterful manipulator and I wouldn’t trust anything he says. He knows how to play mind games and prey on human emotions like a vulture or predator preys on meat
@Nathan. Very well put. I think a lot is extremely exaggerated for viewing purposes. More likes and subscriptions.
@@CarlCramer88 the man has shown there isn’t a fibre of truth in his make up. He betrayed both his criminal brothers and the law enforcement that protected him and gave him a ridiculous sentence of 5 years for killing 19 people and allowed him to keep his illicit earnings he made from organised crime yet he betrayed the very law that protected him by running a drug ring in Arizona. The man isn’t capable of uttering a syllable of truth and very predatory in his manipulation of human emotions. He murdered his own wife’s brother and still went home to her at night as if nothing had happened. He’s beyond ruthless and been a psychotic and stone cold killer what is there to trust about such a man besides knowing he has secured a place in hell. I think it’s a safe bet to say he will never see heaven given all he has done which is beyond contempt and evil. There are many criminals out there with a heart and Sammy Gravano isn’t one of that
@@TerryStewart32 you have a choice to see or not to see Gravanos you tube channel Mr Gravano is not manipulating no one you also have the choice of blocking his account
This is your most powerful moving video yet. I absolutely love your content. This was so deep for me, because my dad is doing a 44 year my brother is doing 25 and my uncle 22. Your videos help keep me on the right path believe me. Thank you!!
Are they all in for meth trafficking?
Mr. Gravano. Thank you for sharing this chilling experience with us. Lesser men would have perished mentally, if not physically, in a situation like that. I've heard many stories of other inmates but none quite like this. Your videos help me to keep perspective on my own life. Many thanks.
Exactly - crime doesn’t pay. Time passed and this very intelligent man would have been successful in the profession of his choice.
Sammy Gravano is one of the few that I know about who went to ADX supermax and actually got out to tell about it. Most the people there have life with no parole.
He mentioned Gaspipe Casso. He got out I think
@@notthisprickagain8499 I think gas pipe mentioned seeing Sammy in his book
Holy,crap I. Would not want to go there,for Shure
That was a very heart breaking intense story. I could feel his pain and hear it in his voice. That actually shook me up. Glad you're home Sammy.
The story about the nurse was crazy. You could tell Mr Gravano was touched by her kindness.....
I guess love is the only language everybody understands
Sammy of all your experiences spoken about, this one had me enthralled to the point where I was trying to imagine everything you described. You really struck a chord with this vid
I see your pain Sammy when your talking about this
i cant feel sorry for a person who killed more then 19 people... there are even innocent folks he killed... i dont feel sorry...
Everybody has there point of view and opinion I think everybody deserves a second chance to prove themselves let’s see!!!!!
@@Andrewjones-cc3pn you wouldn't say that if he killed your mother for being in the wrong place...
@@Andrewjones-cc3pn yes everybody deserves a 2nd chance. but this guy got 19 chances and thats just the murders. then hes had a load of chances for other things too. fact of the matter is he is sat here whinging that his food was cold and his matress wasnt comfy and if this guy had his own way he would have never got caught and would have continued killing and stealing and wouldnt care less. pathetic man. i feel sorry for anybody who is suffering but if anybody deserves it its this guy and he didnt even get anywhere near justice
Guy killed 19 people and sells merch as a free man. Don’t feel that bad for him.
You still got a better deal than the people you put in a casket. No black n white tv in the casket. No food delivered either. Think about that Sam. Enjoy your freedom.
Or all the guys he buried in prison with a lot more time.
You would pick ADX over death ?
Live by the sword die by the sword... Clearly he killed those that were living by the sword. I'm not sure if he killed those/ had people killed that were naive to what they were involved in .. his sentence was a close call though. He also suffered consequences of living by the sword. He barely escaped. Interesting story.
@@JM-zq9em He killed an innocent 16 year old kid. He's lucky AF.
@@justinlecroy3579 You are 100 ! This weasel killed so many by ambush. Rated, got a pass and started dealing drugs again. Now he wants to explain about his hardships? I hope he let's us know if it was all worth it in the end.

@Sreten Jocić Kids don't just take 1 ecstasy and drive their life into a ditch. Most of them just go to parties, smoke some weed or whatever, then go on to normal lives. Some had crappy childhoods and some have a natural risk taking inclination, those are the ones at risk for addiction. There's also adult drug use that isn't problematic.
Sammy is tough as they come and you can see by look in his eyes while he’s telling this story the ADX Supermax almost broke him!!!!! Glad you made it bro

Out of all the podcast you have done sammy in this one I can see the pain and suffering there as you relive it. Thankyou for sharing that with us.
Mr. Gravano You've got some amazing memories good/bad but yours. I love sitting and listening to you like I use to with my grandparents (RIP). Those day's have so many legendary historical moments. I'm glad to see you in good health and out in society now. This video's and the way you conduct yourself is also amazing. Much respect to you and I hope you stay healthy.
I'm loving these long stories! Please keep them coming, Sammy.
In addition to all that, you’re literally bolted in your bathroom-sized cell 23-hours a during the weekdays, and 24-hours a day on the weekends!! Also, there’s no heat or air conditioning. So, it’ll feel like you’re bolted in an ice box during the wintertime, and the summertime feels like a hot stuffy oven! Try living like that for multiple years!!
Crazy how America will lock people up to live like that but the biggest criminals of them all don’t go there instead they get retirement /get elected office smh.

God Bless that nurse for bringing a tiny bit of light into that hell for you. I can't see how that's not cruel and unusual punishment bro.
Damn Sammy, you got me feeling that same loneliness. You tell stories so well.
Give him all your money.
Amazing all that happened. It's the one moment that nurse showed you compassion in a humain way, that moment cemented in your mind. Probably helped you get through more than she knew.
Of all the many memories that I carry from my years of incarceration, the ones that stand out were the brief conversations that a young county CO had with us on occasion.
He treated us with respect and acted as if we were fellow human beings.
That was almost 30 years ago.
I’m watching this and the whole story is so sad as a whole. But I feel myself getting teary eyed when this story with the nurse came up. Sammy, I give you so much credit and respect for getting through the time in that place because I don’t think many could.
Thank you for telling these stories. I know it can’t be easy. The genuineness in which In you tell these amazingly painful stories is amazing.
He’s not in pain. He’s a good story teller
Geez!!! It’s really amazing he ain’t lost his mind completely after that place... No ?? What nightmares are made of ...
Only a sociopath can leave there with their sanity. Someone who can kill many men and feel no remorse but makes TH-cam videos to get your remorse. That’s who

Sammy, I got a story for you. I was one of the girls who Ted Bundy stalked when he was in Salt Lake in the 70's. I caught a glimpse of him the first day, and wondered about it but the second day I was positive. I worked at the state capitol building and ran as fast as I could up to the security guard at the door and told him the man had been following me for 2 days. The security guard went and asked him what he was doing and of course he was in that Volkswagen minus the passenger seat. He said he was just sightseeing on his way to go to St George. My 97 year-old mother is still as haunted as I am about what happened. My whole family is. God was watching out for me those two days, but not the other girl
I am very happy for you. That is very fortunate that you were not a victim. I mean that.
Sammys story is alot better
That story with the nurse, wow .
As someone who struggled with depression I tried to distance myself from people. It was hard to feel comfortable with looking people in the eyes and basic interactions once I started to Break out of my shell. I can’t even imagine what it would be like to be put in a place like this and then trying to simply communicate with someone again
I understand what it's like I've been there myself !
This mzkes me
Im crying listening to this person describe his loneliness. Theres nothing i. Can do. I feel helpiess. Sorry for u Sammy
Its astonishing the times he has lived through I mean its incredible hes still kicking and staying true to himself. Great story's great story telling.
As a young teen I was sent to reform- tears as I listened to yours- the hardest thing then was to let people into my world and when I was able to make eye contact they let me go. It created a rage that only recently was aware and these last three years I have learned to be alone with myself(hardest in life). Padre Pio called it the dark night - I am glad you hold on to GOD and happy you are talking so healing and learning for all. 👍 there are parts of us every bit as crazy as it can get -
That’s a hell of a story Sammy. I know all about the hole. But 6 1/6 years is definitely intense. Glad your home with your family 👊🤟
Why don’t u tell some stories about bath ave ?
I was in super max in Florence Arizona it’s the same set up. It is a very very lonely cold place and as human beings we need contact with other people to survive. When you go years without touching another person you start to lose touch with reality! I respect any man who’s in there and whoever made it out with his sanity still in tact!!!!! I was in there for 11 years and lost it all!! I know exactly what Sammy is talking about I was entered into the systems security threat group so I was slammed down the whole time!! Prayers to all the fellas still living in there🙏🏽 I got my family back and have 3 more kids. I’m trying everyday to be a better man but something’s you just don’t forget. The mind is a very powerful thing!!💯
I did 2 months solitary at Holiday unit. It was like my own personal hell. I cannot imagine doing 6 years like that. My hats off to you bro.
6 years? Many people there have been in for decades, and will never leave.
What's "holiday unit" if you don't mind my asking ?
It could be easy to not talk about or mention your most humiliating times, but Sammy did anyways and owned up to it like a man 💪
I agree with you there. He owns his dirt! Which is very telling. He could easily lie or dismiss it.
💜
There’s nothing manly bout this guy.. he admits to 19 murders rats on not only gotti but tons of guys spent life in prison bc of him and tore up so many families bc he couldn’t stand up
@@unclenicky92 he also shot dead an innocent 16 year old kid
Honor & keeping our word is still important to some of us,
Think about how horrible the conditions were where they kept him. Now think about a decomposing body that was made that way by extreme pain and violence. That’s how he left his victims. Never feel sorry for a taker of human souls. The fact that he is allowed to be out and talk is abominable.
Most of if not all his victims were part of that life! They all understand that.
He did his time
I thought he meant Chopper Reid for a moment 😂. Like damn, that dude DID get around 😂.
That nurse was moved by your story. And so was I today.
I think you’ve paid a heavy price and this one was a reminder that these aren’t just stories for us to get a vicarious thrill from but they represent your life experiences.
I’m glad your channel is doing so well and wish you all the good luck.
Heavy price for multiple murders?? If he still alive he hasn't paid his price
@@cue1806 Yeah, ask the families of his victims if he has paid a heavy price. These comments are hilarious, they forget why Sammy is famous.
I genuinely love his stories and listening to this man talk.
Nothing can explain the hole unless you been there. It something that changes you for life. You become an animal.
Yes, Kevin, exactly.
The completely thorough process of dehumanization is a life altering experience from which one may never fully recover.
@@Coffeeguyzz You have to be an animal to get there in the first place, it just changes you into another type of animal...an animal that regrets the many crimes which lead them to ADX.
Probably shouldn’t earn your way in there then!
How many people died because of Sammy? I bet they felt "lonely" when they were dying. People wouldn't be so fascinated w/ him had they been one of his victims.
How about the people that some of those guys tortured to death slowly? These are not nice people. But I'm not beyond feeling compassion for them but I also have a healthy dose of common sense. They're there because of their own choices.
Totally the way I feel
Put him back in there for all I care
Exactly
There is a far worse judgment coming. Supermax is a luxury hotel compared to eternity in hell.
@@deejayjonez599 absolutely correct
I say this with respect "Salvatore is one tough bastard"
Tough is holding yourself accountable for your actions taking it like a man not ratting on all your friends committing more crimes and than crying in a jail cell read between the lines this dude is weak
@@armandoramirez90 If you don’t like his stories why stay, unless you are only here to troll or call him weak from behind a computer
@@armandoramirez90 you would have ratted in 2 seconds who u kidding
Sammy is a REAL deal. This man was/is NO JOKE! Even at his age now, he STILL has the air of MENACE about him. I FEAR nothing and nobody, but Sammy SCARES the shit out of me. I GOT NOTHING BUT RESPECT FOR THIS MAN!
I can respect how you feel about Sammy. :)
Myself, I admire him lol no fear. He slightly reminds me of my dad. Not the Mob life. His outlook. Let’s face it! The guy has values! Regardless
You ain't met my ex wife. 🤣
Thank you for sharing, Sammy. How you stayed sane is beyond me
Exactly,,imagine how many people go completely insane
Just remember when you are sympathizing, he didn't stop on his own. He stopped because he got caught.
He was let go the first time, a multimillionaire. It was the second conviction in Arizona got him here.
Having worked in Rikers Island for 20 years ( I was a NYCDOC Officer , hey it paid my bills and put food on the table for my family ) I thought I seen it all BUT GOD DAMN = this is some crazy stuff .
Glad you're out , I think you're a stand up man and will always be .
Awesome TH-cam you're running - thanks for letting us see into the Gangster Lifestyle
I just retired from n.y.s doc 25 years
Its amazing what the mind can survive
People that never did any time this stuff Sammy is telling is the real deal. Its fucking miserable they break you down as a human. Sammy is a bad dude to sit and tell these war stories and keep it together he is a strong man. Much respect Sammy.
Its true super max is not a game I know first hand
Hey Sam,, much respect to you bro, I was in Tucson complex manzanita with your boy little bull, and man we did early morning work out , regiment, man he was smartest dude ever met man hope you guys doin okay man
I got to assume most guys in Colorado are not coming home to tell us about the place
I have drove by it a few times on my way to N.M. and it looks god awful it's sure not the prettiest part of CO.
Remember why they are there though.
@@JacobMatthew8 Yeah true, the Alcatraz of the Rockies. It's actually not really in the Mountains though just east of them. But you can see the front range from there.
Alpo was in that prison
Almost everyone in there has a life sentence there’s area of the prison i think it’s called bomber’s row or something along those lines and it’s where they keep all the domestic terrorists who committed bombings
Man. I can't believe how much i truly respect and actually like this guy . Tv and media made me hate him. I know he did some bad things in his past but i just like the guy..
Well, I mean, you did admit to murdering 19 people... Then given a chance in Witness Protection and then you screwed that one up by selling ecstasy... Do you think you weren't going to end up there?!?!
Jarran Tyler this prison needs to be shut down. You can lock people up but this is cruel and unusual punishment. In fact the people who made this prison should all be executed
@@rwbmaat I agree that the majority of inmates shouldn't be housed there because of how there treated... such as major mafia, drug/gang leaders, spies, etc. I admit ADX is a bit extreme and I believe other Maximum security prisons would do just as good of a job housing those inmates.
BUT.....
When it comes to terrorists that have been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt for deliberately killing with Americans and American CHILDREN, for example, terrorists, like the Boston Marathon bomber. He could have placed that homemade IED anywhere, but he sat it behind a 7 year old girl. People like that deserve to live in Hell on Earth. Execution would be too merciful.
@@rwbmaat fuck ‘em
This man committed 19 murders. That is why he is prison. Pity he did'nt show compassion for his victims that he now wants for himself.
