The policy of the BOP both good and bad and some that were just plain stupid.

This is a free plug for getting yearly qualified to carry a firearm all over the United States, it's possessions and territories. I used to take the State Police qualification course for Illinois. It cost $100 and I had to take a separate test for both revolver and automatic. I can get the test from a non-governmental organization for half the price. HR-218 or Public Law No: 108-277 is the law that gives me the authority to carry nationwide.

The death of a cop is easy compared to the murder of a correctional officer in prison.

The over dramatic worry over what to call the person who works in a prison. Some people loose their mind over simple titles.

A leader of the most violent prison gang in the history of the Federal Prison Service. I spent years with this man in my cell block. He could order a killing like you order the blue plate special. He might even enjoy it more.

We have a spy and a dope smoking basketball player in Russia. Nobody cared about the spy until the woman basketball player got caught with illegal drugs in Russia. Now the USA is considering a trade to put the Lord of War back on the streets to kill thousands with his weapons. All to protect a woman who can't stop using drugs even where it's illegal. I knew Bout in prison. He is an articulate man who speaks English very well. Obviously intelligent he will undoubtedly return to selling death. I made this recording several years ago after spending time with Bout in USP Marion's administrative detention unit. I worked at Marion when it was the nation's toughest prison for 23 years. Find out what life is like for a maximum security prison guard in the Federal System. I am not a notorious person but I have known very well many who are or were. Mafia Bosses, Serial Killers, Mass Murderers from small African Nations convicted by the international court of crimes against humanity, and the occasional drug kingpin. Bout is in the news recently, so I thought this would be a topical subject for this podcast.

When a prisoner escapes prison there is a preset response. One of the actions is to put static guard posts in strategic locations. Places a person on foot would have to travel through to depart the vicinity of the prison. This video is made at one of those locations. I answer some common questions and talk about prison escapes as well. This is one of the posts that were manned in the last escape attempt at USP Marion where the prisoners shot a local Sheriff. The photo of the man waiving at the camera is a prisoner who has been put to death for murder. He is no longer in federal custody due to his execution. 

The BGF is a powerful prison gang with tentacles in some major American cities. If you think the men in prison have no power on the street, think again. This group can set a city on fire if they desire.

The Order criminal organization is responsible for Murder, Armed Robbery and a shootout with Police. Bruce Pierce liked me because I spoke better German and he was trying to learn from a book without the ability to hear it spoken. He thought German's were more family oriented than American's. He loved to write to Nazi groups while in prison. He encouraged racist belief. He once told me that the road to hell was paved with good intentions. He meant well when his gang machine gunned that guy in the driveway. Pass all the laws you want, criminals will have all the machine guns they want.

Barry Mills. The founding member of the Aryan Brotherhood. He was also a "Commissioner" meaning he was one of the three men who gave the green light to murder for the organization. The AB's are the most violent orison gang in the system. I would know, I was a guard for 23 years at America's only Supermax prison. USP Marion replaced Alcatraz and the ADX in Colorado replaced us.
