- Look, I am not in any way shape or form suggesting that you should continue illegal activity once you’re already in prison.
If you get caught with outside contraband, particularly illegal substances, it will just add time to your set. But when I was down, this was my mindset.
This is for entertainment purposes, not a how to guide. 😂😂😂

half these actually described my career in corrections. Everyone starts off "scared rookie" I had the advantage in that I had both come off street partrol as an MP, and did DS school. I reported to my first correction duty (which was my only duty on a range) so I went through the "Drill Sargeant". Having lost my sister to a pedo, if someone approached me right, and with a mission, I could see my way to make a cell door or two pop. Three decades later, I gotta say I don't miss the corrections life. I refused to become the "terminal burn out" CO, as I knew what was at stake, and I had to keep my edge to the last day on the range. Never did any "pocket CO" though. too much at stake playing that game. I just lived within my means and stayed sober while on the range.
I was a C.O. at Fort Pillow, I would turn my head on small infractions, like pot, porn. And any small comfort that made life a little easier for them. a happy con is a less troubled con. I never brought anything into the system, that will wind up getting you some jail time and it is harder on an ex co, the worse crooks were the ones i stood roll call with. my job was not to punish the prisoners, it was to make sure they followed the rules and procedures also to make sure they stayed in the prison and not get out before his time. I finally left when i lost my 8 year old daughter to a sick son of a bitch, he later died at Turney center in the yard. and to think a good friend ( I thought) tried his best to tie myself into his death., most cops and anyone in law enforcement, are Lesse trust worthy than most felons. it is just a power trip to them.
Wish I could say the same. I've been doing it for 11 years and want out. I hate dragging myself in everyday. Only proud thing I can say is I have never done anything dirty. Never laid hands on anyone that hasn't earned it.
@@rustyshackleford5269 Hey brother. The job will kill you if you stay beyond the point that you’ve had ENOUGH. There’s no shame in getting the hell out early. The good news is that if you can do that, you can do anything. Whatever state or county you work for probably has other jobs you can transfer into too.
The longer we worked the more we liked the inmates over our fellow officers
@@mitchellmoon6083 your a good man, sorry for your lost bro, I hope you find some closure
I am retired law enforcement and corrections officer and made a point to treat every inmate with respect right up until they didn't deserve it and I rarely ever had issues. To be honest I'm don't really care for police nowadays.
And that tells us you have a brain and a heart. 😊❤
As a former CO there definitely needs to be a part 2
There is the CO who is cool but knows there is a line that you don’t cross
And that was me. 30 years as a co
Then their is the don’t give a shit co and the lazy co.
Definitely needs to be a part two. Use to work with half those type of shitbags. Funny how eye opening it was
I agree
I love this! As a forensic mental health worker who worked in the cell blocks, this is on point!
My ex-husband was the Disgruntled CO. HE HATED LIFE IN GENERAL 😂😂😂😂. Your display is right on the mark. He walked out those gates the last day at exactly 25yrs a 1 day. He didnt care if that building blew up as long as he never had to go back. 😂😂😂😂 Perfectly Portrayed!!!!!
My dad was the Disgruntled CO, full stop. He wouldn't want anyone around him. And he always knew to open doors for the chomos and forget the papers, mail, or something to wander off. I love him so much.
I already know I don't have the temperament to be a CO. I had a friend go through the selection process to be a CO and sailed right through until the Psych eval. They gave him a written explanation for dismissing him from the selection pool. He needed me to translate the technical jargon and it came down to the fact that he was too nice. I explained to him that they were looking for someone with the "right amount of assholity" You don't want Robocop, but he was too close to the Mr. Rogers end of the curve.
I just love how actual CO's cops, watch and comment. You have tapped into the jail story market as one of the best.
As a marine combat veteran being targeted by a corrupt justice system, I know this will help. Ty
How's it going?
Prayers for you.
Thank you for your service. Big ups and hope for your case. 😊❤
Oh christ man. What a kick in the.... I can't even say thanks as I should because fukkk. Glad you were a marine? My grandma was a WWII RN. She even learned German to talk to her pows. (Her... in her care.)
We had these 2 C.O.'s named Faust & Grascha when I was in L.C.I. waiting to go to Marion ( in Ohio). They were pretty cool to me because we were of Slavic origin. When they saw me on the phone crying over my deceased grandmother whom I couldn't attend the funeral, they gave me free reign of the pod. That is one thing I will always remember. They tried to turn my bad situation into a good one the best way they could. I mean, I was cool with them to begin with. But as a free man, I still stay in touch with them. The little things ya know.
Condolences. That's aight of them. 😊❤
You forgot the most bombastic and stereotypical one. The "Super cop", man.
I worked in corrections for nearly six years, and I left as a Sgt. I’m also ex-military. I went to work every day with a clean shave, pressed uniform, and spit-shined boots. I had the appearance of the Drill Instructor. However, I also had a degree in Psychology. I showed respect and was able to establish rapport with inmates rather quickly and easily. My communication skills were leaps and bounds ahead of other staff. I despised dirty and lazy officers and avoided them whenever possible.
The administration didn’t particularly like my type because I couldn’t be dragged into corruption, and I questioned all the bullshit. I’m also a recovering speed addict, but I never disclosed that for obvious reasons. I helped several inmates get into programs that would help them to find stability upon release, and, apparently, the administration didn’t like that.
I’m currently working as a counselor in probation and parole, and I’m more satisfied in this position. My experiences working in the system and my past issues with addiction have helped me a lot in my current position. Empathy and compassion are both vital when working in recovery, especially with those who have very little to no faith in the system or society.
Man that is EXACTLY what the system needs, more cops with that attitude..., I've done tons of bits over the years & your kind is rare, but very respected.
You should see the prison by me. One guard got caught screwing an inmate. His wife was also a guard and happened to be in charge of the women's block where he did it. The nurse is pregnant by her fifth baby daddy, who is also a co at the jail. The warden got fired like 10 years ago for embezzlement, and they couldn't hire anybody else because everybody else in the county is corrupt, so they made the guy who just got caught embezzling money acting warden again until they found a replacement. That was like a decade ago, and he's still the warden . It's like a big ass episode of Jerry Springer in the 90s.
yeah that was the prison experience where I worked, that's why I hated the people I worked with 70 percent of the time, It's like working in a trailer park, imagine dealing with the most short term thinking, red neck, disrespectful people you can deal with, that's all the prisons can get to work for them.

@@nomadictow3011So it's like being on Twitter. Noted.
I wonder if it's Lake Butler Florida?
That's bananas. 😊❤
@djdelay I am a former CO both military and state Happy to see that you have turned your life around and are working to make a positive impact on the community. Just wanted to let you know I never miss a single one of your videos
I went from scared, to the cool, and finally finished my Co career as a disgruntled one. I treated the inmates as what they were grown up that made a mistake. I was tried several times but I can say I stayed out of the hustle game
Dang bro I was a co for 12 yrs (11 in Oklahoma unfortunate 1 year at an oregon minimum) you were pretty spot on I was very respected on both sides of the fence. I am also a marine vet so yes I was that by the book dude but I also understood what made my unit run smoothly and did things with in the law to see fit to make it so. Hey I would love too chat with you tons of experience. There is one issue that troubles me and no one wants to address and that is PTSD for both officers/staff and convicts.
You are the one. No one cares about the cons
I've been a county jail CO for about 7 mos now and it's my first time, but I knew right away that not making eye contact or showing weakness would be detrimental. But I also knew that coming in like a hard ass would get me no where.
You come in hard and dial it back, you cant do it the other way.
Basically be respectful and chill but carry yourself in a way that shows people you will to throw down if you have to.
“Their Xbox live subscription is due” 🤣🤣🤣
Yup, I started out as the newb, and before I left I was the disgruntled dude. You hit the nail on the head with the descriptions.
As a CO I think this shit is hilarious.
I am honestly more surprised by the fact that veterans arent the disgruntled co's since we are all disgruntled while we are in the service
Manmake a part 2
as an ex Sgt at at max State prison you are accurate as fuck. I let the dorm run it's self as long as I passed inspection and I didn't have to call CERT. I wasn't against dusting up some boots myself on the smoke yard. onetime I had a inmate jacking on a counselor in the dayroom so I had to send him out, but on the way out he threatened me and my family, so he did his time in iso/seg and made it back to my dorm, I waited until he was asleep, used my keys to open the cell and flipped him and his matriss to the floor and got me a few good kidney shots in. and all the convicts I was cool with warned him what would happen if he flew a kite
So you abused your power, over some words. You should have left the job long before it came to that. You should've been thrown in coufnty like any other person who assaults another human being. Chomos are one thing. An incarsarated individual is another. Go duck your "high" moral horse. You are no better than those you stood watch over.
Damn someone threaten my family id have em shanked. You really held back
New to the channel. I hope there is a part 2 lurking somewhere. 😆 Best part of this is that it is relatable across the board in working situations, esp teachers.
I was a mix of the cool guy and the disgruntled, i wouldn't bring my trustees any contraband though. They tried to get me to stick smokes under the kitchen door from outside several times. I just told them i didn't want to end up locked up with them. A buddy of mine ended up locked up where i worked after i quit and he told me the inmates classified me as a "medium officer"
It would be interesting to hear your take on the treatment/therapy/psych staff at the institutions vs the jails. As a therapist who has worked in both prison and jail settings and then even in community corrections the perception of convicts vs inmates is always crazy interesting to me.
JD, you are Gem.....Keep preaching bro
The DI CO sounds like my father. Definitely do a part 2.
Bet!
@@JdDelay5150 yeah, a part 2 would rock
Great video JD! Your advice is dead on and applies to all of life's avenues (i.e. what teacher you can ask for an extension; who will give constructive feedback and who to avoid for advice).
Honestly love the acting clips just as good as Chappell show keep it up man. Gonna post this on every one yard gotta get more engagement.
You forgot the CO that realizes everyone there is still a person and deserves to be treated as such. Doesn’t have to yell at the inmates to get them to do what’s needed, and does his job without crossing the line.
That is who I am as a CO I treat them with respect so long as they show me respect. There have been some cross the line and they got to see the other side of me. One told me "You treat us like were Humans." I said "How else would I treat you because you are humans who made mistakes and are paying for them now. It's not in my Job Description to Punish or Judge you." I was told "Some other the other CO treat us like animals." I said if you act like humans I will treat you as such if you act like a animal I will treat you as such as well. I will laugh and joke with them but they know there is a line that is never to be crossed by either of us. That in its self seems to get a lot of respect from them toward me and me toward them. There is never a time I lower my guard around them no even for a Nanosecond.
I worked as a CO in California, I was the same way. I ran a Kitchen and four dining halls. One of my guys went to a lower custody yard, but before leaving he shook my hand and thanked me. He said it was like working on the streets just a supervisor and their subordinates. I always said they are being punished by the state, not me. I would look at the things someone on the outside could do vs. what they couldn't do knowing that their punishment was enough in most cases.
We had a CO making Shanks at home out 1 inch thick acrylic and bringing them in to Inmates, she was eventually caught because a inmate snitched on her to get out of a Hooch charge.
MORE! I hate from time to time, but quickly became my favorite channel. I just don't fuck with tweekers, grew up with too many, and do not sympathize. I'm glad you made it out, where there's a will... keep bringing these videos, entertaining AF!
"You have just created a criminal" seen it 100x
Yo JD I wish I knew that you had music on Apple earlier. That shit is fire man. Keep up being Inspirational I love the content homie.
Lol I did 8 years in juvie lockup and I can agree 100% with this video! The one's that were disgruntled were the best cuz once you got good with them you were able to do just about anything
Retired CO here. Definitely need a part 2! Havn't seen my type yet!
Definitely needs to be a part 2! 💯👌🔥
I served 2 sentences at Oakland County Jail in Pontiac Michigan I can relate there was definitely some deputies/Co's who matched these 4 types you should definitely do a part 2
Part two bro. You've got me bringin back so many fn memories.. keep it up.. Oh, and idea.. What about all the times they want to pull everyone to interrogation but you don't say shit even though you obviously did see it... As opposed to those that ratted like little b's ... Got alot of those stories, but good topic...
Love the video. Those personality types don’t pertain just to CO’s. I think you describe my personality spot on ,when you described the disgruntled CO 😂. On a sidenote, my pops did some time in the fed’s. I enjoy listening to his stories and yours as well. Some of the stories he told me about making hooch,the pranks that they pulled are funny. If you haven’t done a video on pranks, I think you should do that. Good shit though.
Video Suggestion: What were the main types of "hustles" in prison?
Love the content og stay bless man I'm also 2 yrs sober
As a fellow convict, felon, and musician I would love to know how you started making music. I have been loving your music
I was a c/o for six years. You are pretty spot on.
Man definitely bro and also I love the longer videos
When I was down I wish I would have recognized this but I did witness all the different cos
Love the videos bro. I have been watching them for a week straight. I got a serious question though. I live 2 hrs north of Philly and wonder what your thoughts are on Kensington (K/A)? What do you think the best approach would be to help the people there?
I don't know if you made a part 2 because it didn't follow this one, but if you didn't go ahead and get it done because this was great.
i definitely enjoyed this episode. cant wit till u drop the next
Its the "their dodge charger payment is due" for me lmao 🤣 😂 😆
Yeah, definitely need a part 2.
Definitely need to see a part to.
Great video, hope there is a part two out there.
Absolutely need a part 2.
Love it, did you ever make a part 2?
Definitely do a part 2. PLEASE do a part 2.
yes, id like a part 2 of this video. just by watching a few of your videos, i see that you have a great character, we definitely need more like that in this world, and hope you stay safe bro, appreciated, your compassion helps me get through, i love the positive energy, keep going with the success, bro, oh yeah
Nice work brotha' keep it up it's awesome
I was a C.O. in MO. For 7 years at a lvl 5 max. Working AD-SEG 100% controlled movement. I was disgruntled but cool with offenders as long as they didn't add to my workload during my shift. I would let transfers know off the rip that I wouldn't fuck with them if they didn't fuck with me, and the other offenders would clue them in on how things worked so everyone was on the same page and everything ran smooth for both sides of the door.
When I worked as a CO I got along fairly well. I more or less had the understanding with my pod that as long as they aren't doing anything that'll get me in trouble, I'm not going out of my way to come after them. If you do or have something right out in the open, that's on you though.
In the twenty six and half years I spent in corrections, I could break down the percentage of what inmates want. Eighty five percent want to just do their time in peace, so they want COs to do their jobs of enforcing rules and searching. Ten percent want to do their hustle and want COs to look the other way. Five percent if given the chance and can get away with it, will take off the head of CO.
I really dig the "be good or be good at it" phrase
Haha
I think I can listen to you, you don't sound stupid. I've gone around the block, from max to min.restrictive,I love your posts.
I love your videos really I do lol but as a former CO in Arizona yikes lol teaching people to compromise COs that’s bad lol but oh well still subbed and still watching
Hey bro, sick tattoos
Have a good rest of your week!
New fan like the content man I prefer ur 15 - 20 min vids
You need to write a book good work brother
Omg, I SO want you to do a part 2...
That's me "The disgruntled C.O." been like that since Narch of 2023. It's not my cage as long as I didn't see it it didn't happen. NOTE no illegal activity I just know the game.
as a fellow content creator, look at the lense of the camera instead of checking your beautiful self out on the view finder lol. Love the content man, keep it up!
Did 5 years in Illinois DOC and I always broke it down into four types. Unicorns who actually wanted to make a difference, I never met any. Springboarders who wanted to use IDOC to transfer into the state police. The majority that just wanted to het paid, IDOC actually paid really well especially for the broke rural communities the prisons got built in. Then just the guys that get off on petty power and want a job where they can be assholes without consequence.
I’d love to see a part two!
We had a Sgt. at Okaloosa Florida we called "drunk sarge" im convinced he had vodka or something in the coffee cup he always had in his hand. He was chill as hell as long as nobody bothered him or made waves dudes could tattoo or make ink on his shift or whatever,he was our favorite
That shirt tho❤❤❤ I love you so much… real dude
Your opening theme song-- is that you? Sounds great!
Part two! Great video!
Part 2 is definitely needed
Are u 6’4? Jw cause of the background lol love your vids I can relate Hamilton county is either number 1 or 2 in the USA as the most brutal an worse to be locked up in Hamilton county. Cincinnati Ohio
Definitely need a part 2
Part two please. Also I like your shirt with the stabby cat.
When I walked the run, the toilets started flushing and hearing "MAN ON THE RUN!"
Can you do a video on solitary confinement my dad told me abt it a little and he said you literally go crazy
Going with the storm that is approaching, how does the prison deal with storms or major emergencies if people have to be relocated? Do the PC inmates get put with the General pop and are the gangs separated?
Dude please do a part two and please do five different types of inmates
Here is the reality on crime you can beat thepolice every day but the next day the game starts over. The one time they win the game is over.
Yep. Old school cons knew the reality of the situation. Remember the cop show, "Baretta?" "Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time"
When I was starting out as a CO I was laid back, I told the inmates that there are 3 things certain about life and it was death, taxes, and count. And not to fuck with my count. Then I would end it by saying no fucking, no fighting, and no drugs.
I remember when I was in county a guy thought he was heading home giving away is stuff to everyone, then 45 min later he was back in and passed off it was hard not laughing but I saw it as respect to outhers
Great video. Your best!
Hey man, good shit on the vids. Props to you homie.
Thank you Bro!
"The Drill Instructor", is probably drawing a solid pension, and/or a medical pension, from the military, so they aren't there for the money.
JD love ya vids do you have a gaming channel or if not will you ever start a gaming channel?
My cousins were both in the prison system in Cali. One is a CO, the other was an inmate. They had to move the CO to an entirely different part of the state because of the conflict of interest. And then there's me who was a CO in Texas. Crazy shit.
That's sounds like comie fornia , move the officer instead of the inmate. Smdh
No. I was a c/o in Cali and had family that got locked up (had it coming). They got transferred to where I was at. As soon as I saw it on SOMS I notified Lt and -THEY- got moved. No way staff would get moved. The union would have ate the wardens lunch.
@@mediocremodeler5174 Yeah. Pelican Bay to San Diego. Had a hit out on him.
PLEASE DO A PART 2, 3,4,5, OR AS MANY PARTS YOU NEED LOL
2:24 as a veteran, you missed the mark on this one. You want that clean cut “never break the rules” guy on your side. The military is literally a career of breaking rules and not getting caught
Yeah do a part two but do a inmate VS convict version and put all three together
Stay safe over there brother I’m on the other side of the state
Part 2 bro. Definitely!
Defo need a part 2
Yes sirrr!!!
Part 2, for sure!
Also, I'm really curious about how you set up for somebody on the outside to get stuff to a CO to bring in for you! Aren't all of the phone calls and mail and communications monitored? How do you set up something with someone on the outside without getting caught setting it up?
Hey Sis! So even though cell phones weren’t as prominent in the prison scene back in the late 2000s, there were still a few. And if you were somebody in there, you could definitely get access and make on monitored calls. If you didn’t have access to a cell phone, you would have to get set up thru visits. If there’s one thing that convex all have in common, it’s that we are resourceful! 😂😂😂
@@JdDelay5150 that makes perfect sense! Thanks for explanation! If there's one thing I've learned from people like you and Jess, it's that this country has far, far too many intelligent, resourceful people locked up and allowing their lives and potential to be wasted. People who would benefit exponentially more from real, actual help and resources and support, not jail/prison time.
agreed
@@JdDelay5150 What protection is in place for the CO's muleing shit in? I mean once they do it, the Convict has the upper hand and has you at will, they are now your bitch? What's a way to protect both the CO/Convict in these business transactions? I use to be a Fed C/O and always wondered about how that would have worked?
@@tinnusadno one likes or respects a snitch thats how. Also be smart in who you work with. Sounds like you are fishing bud. Im not in the business on either side of the fense i just use common sense.
i used to deliver food to prison, an i gotta say, the guys in the wharehouse were some of nicesest cordial people oive ever met
