• 1:06
  Speaker 2: with the podcast. Today's episode Wow, Where do I freaking start? Well,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: it just came off of a lockdown. It's very very
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: long lockdown, man differ. So, as I've told y'all before
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: in a couple of past episodes, recently, they're turning Buckingham
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: into an infinite prison, so that means they've got a
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: lot of people who don't qualify for the incentive prison
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: being transferred off of here. You've got a lot of
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: guys being transferred in and it's it's been, it's been
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: a nightmare. It's been quite disjointed, disorganize. They've been sending
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: guys up off of here saying they don't qualify for it,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: and when they get to where they're going, they got
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: their families calling, and their families called Richmond, and then
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Richmond's like, wait a minute, you do qualify, and then
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: sending people right back here like they're just it's been
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: all over the place. So during the moves, I'm not
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: sure why they had to run in in three, but
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I know when they ran in there, they found a
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: ton of in that pod. They literally, from my sources,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: and my sources have not been wrong yet, just an
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Inn three alone, just this one pod. They found forty
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: two knobs, seven cell phones, four of them in one cell.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: One person had four cell phones. I guess he was
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: greeting and drugs, a lot of drugs. They yeah, like
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, and this is the thing. These guys. They
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: was packed up from ABC and D building and sent
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: down there to end building to await you know, property
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: coming over to pack them up and getting transferred and
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: so on and so forth, and then you know, they're
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: taking more people from here and filling that place back
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: up afterwards, and they ish, Yeah, So that day they
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: found that, and literally the very next day somebody odd
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: upstairs and C three. On top of that, they told
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: the guys in see three, look everybody in this pod,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: pack up, and they went around and told everybody, look, you, you, you, you, you,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: y'all are going down to end building. Y'all are being
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: transferred off of here. Uh you you and you well,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: you're staying here. You're you're you've been accepted to the
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: incident prison. However, we're moving you to another pod. They
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: boked everybody, every single person in the pod boked on
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the moves. Even the guys that were going to stay
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: here for the incentive parses they bought. I don't know why,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: but they boked some asses. So by refusing to move,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: of course, every single person in that pod caught a charge.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Not only that, it showed that you don't have the
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: right behavior, the right mentality for the incentive prison. So
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: everyone that was accepted into the incented prison that still
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: refused to move, they called a charge and they got rejected.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: And their asses getting transferred up off of years if
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: they haven't already been you know, venturransfer. We have been
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: on lock for two freaking weeks. God it was long,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: you know. So when everybody in that pod refused, they
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: went in there, well they shook them down. That's you know,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: that's that's the doc's response to everything. I guess I
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: can't say I blame them because when they went in there,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: they found nineteen more knives. I'm not sure if they
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: found a cell phone in that pod or not, but
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: they did find drugs. So knives and drugs and cell phones. That's, uh,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: that's what they've been finding here at Buckingham left and right.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: As uh as they're packing guys up to transfer them
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: out of here, so Warden, he slaps our ass on
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: lockdown and they actually bring in a horse trailer. And
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: in this horse trailer they've got a standing walking X
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: ray machine. Like this thing is so powerful. I mean, man,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: it a counter blood cells, like it sees everything. So
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: they started upstairs and I mean they was dragging ass
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: on it. They were going through every crack and crevice
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: and cranny and it just drugged on and on and on.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: But that's not the worst part. We went down on
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: a Tuesday morning after breakfast. Thankfully, I was able to
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: get to the phone before I had to lock in
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the cell, and I was able to call my editor
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: and let him know and have him send a text
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: message to my wife letting her know that we're going
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: on lock and we're gonna lose her video visits and
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: all that stuff, and then that frick to suck. Ever,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: was really looking forward to seeing her on the video
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: visit that day. I'm the day. But Thursday afternoon, sergeant
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: brings a guide to the cell Bob movie stuff on
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: top Bomb, No one Bob movies on the top Bomb.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm single cell status. Go call counselor hountor
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: she will confirm I'm single sales tax. I'm not calling nobody.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: You're gonna take him or I'm gonna lock you up.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I'm just sitting there looking at it, and the thing is, like,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I really didn't even get all that bad at her,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: just like, go call counselor hunter like I'm single cell status,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: saying no, I'm not doing it, you're taking it. So
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: the long and short of it was, I wound up
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: with a selling Not only did I lose my single
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: cell status, I lost my bottom bunk status. Even though
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I have a tumor in my right tibium, I had
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: holes eating throughout the right tibium, and climbing up and
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: down that bunk, my leg could break at any moment.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I still work out, I still do
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: my stuff, but I'm not out there making crazy ass cuts,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: you know, putting a lot of pressure on it. I'm not,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: you know, doing anything to risk snapping it. But going
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: up and down that damn ladder and there's no handrails
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: or nothing for you to grab onto. You just got
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: to grab onto the sheet and hope you ask don't slip.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: And they put a guy in there. Now, what's crazy
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: is in prison only a few people know me as Randy.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I've done this topic before on a past podcast of
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: why I don't go by my first name in prison,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: So I go by my middle in this my middle name,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I mean Chris, short for Christopher. Now this guy who
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: moves in his name is also Chris. As it turns out,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: he was literally born December four of nineteen seventy eight,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: the exact same date I was born. I would really
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: love to know how I would love to know how
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: to figure out the odds of that much less know
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: the odds of it, because I can't do that kind
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: of math. Let me tell you that is just that
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: really will that's wild, It really was strange, you know.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: But this guy is I cannot live with this cat.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I cannot live with this cat, and I will not
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: live with him for much longer. Like I've been patient,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I've been doing it the right way. I was able
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: to talk to my building lootcentate. I was able to
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: talk to the counselor while we was on lock because
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: they did come into pod and you know, I called
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: them over to the doors that looked, what the hell
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: is this cat going to myself? And even when the
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: counselor looked in the doors, she's like, wait a minute,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: what what do you? Who are you? Why are you
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: in this cell? That's what I'm trying to figure out.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: She's like, who put him in there? So I told
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: her what sergeant it was, and she's like, well, I'm
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: going to look into it. So I don't know who
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: revoked my single self status. I don't know why they
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: went into course and deleted it, but apparently somebody, uh
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: is trying to set me up. I guess that's the
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: only thing I can really see, you know. But I'm
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: not falling for it. I'm not happy about it, but
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna put my hands on
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: this guy. You know, I'm not a I'm I'm gonna
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: be patient. I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna let the
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: system work. Because counselor send an email to a to
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: somebody in Richmond. She just said, I send an email
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: to a guy in Richmond, and he's going to let
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: me know. So I'm waiting to find out the response
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: on that, whether I'm going to get my single cell
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: back or whether it's permanently revoked. And if it is,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: you know what, I'm tired of fighting. I'm so close
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: to giving this freaking comeback. I am so close to
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: walking out these doors. I know the overwhelming majority of
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: people who listen to the podcast, who you know who
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: hear me talk, even even my friends and family genuinely
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: don't really believe I'm coming out of prison. Let me
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: tell you something, and I'll be out of prison this
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: year or next year more than likely, maybe the year
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: after that. But I genuinely believe it's going to be
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: this year next year, because there's so much stuff in
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Virginia that are changing. It's no longer the Republican tide
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: holding everything back. It's really really looking like not only
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: is the Democrat Abigail Spinberg are going to win the
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: governor seat, but that the Democrats are going to retain
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: control over both houses and might even j Jones, might
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: even win the Attorney general spot over Jason Mires, and like,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: the Democrats just have complete control over the state of
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Virginia for the first time ever. And if that's the case,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: a lot of things are going to change, a lot
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: of laws are going to change. This locking guys up
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: for these astronomical ass and insists that literally no human
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: being could do the course gave me a total if
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: you count up the numerical value of it, one two
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: hundred and fourteen years. Yet if you look at my
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: release date, it's December twenty seven, nine, nine hundred and
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: ninety nine. Hey, where the hell did then seven thousand
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: extra years come from? Or whatever the case it may be.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: So anyway, I'm getting off in a rabbit hole. So
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: we're getting shook down. I'm in the cell with a guy.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: And this guy does not wash his hands after he
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: uses the bathroom. He has not brushed his teeth once
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: since he's been in that cell. He's dirty. He's all
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: the time tropping stuff on the floor and just leaving
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: it there. He stinks. I am not happy with my
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: current situation. I am not happy at all. I actually
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: wrote an email to my wife while we was on
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: locktail and our love if you ever question my love
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: for you again, because I've had to put up with
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: this guy in myself losing my single self status without
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: them giving me a head. Okay, you want to take
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: my single self status from me, fine, But y'all know
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: what I'm capable of. Y'all know my past history. Y'all
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: know I've slipped people's throats since I've been in prison.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Y'all know I'm locked up for capital murder. Y'all know
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: i'll fault the police. Y'all know I've done a lot
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: of stupid ass, childish back when I was young in
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: my day. Why why would y'all not come and just say, hey, look,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: mister vaugh we revoke your single self status for this reason.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: So you're getting a selly or you're going to get
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: locked up, just so you know, and if you want
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: to stay here for the Incentate prison, you're gonna have
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: to take a seller. Unfortunately, this decision came from Richmond.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: It's out of our hands. There's nothing we can do.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: So what's it going to be, hoss, you want to
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: sell it or you want to get locked up and
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: get kicked off the Incentate prison. It's like, all right, fine,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: I got to take a SELLI I'll take a selly,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: but at least have the courtesy of letting me pick
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: my CELLI at least let me go get one of
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: my friends and move them into the cell with me,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: so that I'm in there with someone that is compatible,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: someone that's personality and everything matches mine, someone who's on
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: the same path that I'm on, somebody who's not doing dumb.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: If they would have just they would have just let
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: me pick my own selling, I'd have been fine with it.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't have gone through the bullshit that I've had
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: to go through. I'd have been able to have a
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: much better lockdown, a much more enjoyable lockdown. You know,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: just like the God does not know how to do time. Hopefully,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: hopefully we get the email for Richmond back sometime this
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: week saying that, yeah, mister vayas single self status and
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: they come move his pass up out of here, or
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: you know, they just help me know, you're not getting
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: your single cell back, and I'm all right fine, but
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: y'all are moving him out of myself and y'all putting
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: somebody else in there that's more compatible with me. That's
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: gonna happen. So that's what I've been dealing with. I
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: was a suck, I'm telling you. If it wasn't for God,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: if it wasn't for my wife, I'd probably be back
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: in the mouths right now. But thankfully I got that
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: support system. I got those things. Just we're fighting for
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: those things worth just tolerate and bullsh for, you know.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: So God bless God, and God bless my wife because
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: they kept me staying strong and they're keeping me strong.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: So all right, y'all have a good one out there.
