Re: The Lords of Rikers, (New York Magazine, Feb 7th 2011)

I've served time on Rikers Island, a number of times. I'm not proud of
that and I do not wear it as a badge of honor either. But I've survived
it, I'm lucky, some aren't.

You must read that article that's stated as my subject. You might get a
feel of what's going on out there on that island. But what you 'think'
you feel, times that by 100...and then some. Its a war zone out there.

Like in any place that society sends its sick, its hard to manage
people, jail, prison is as low as you can get on the food chain. The
ones that are serving time with you, are out to get you. And the ones
that are there, being paid to watch over you, and to 'protect' you,
don't give a flying fuck about you.

RNDC Building,(Real Niggaz Don't Care), is also known by many names. The
5 Building, C95, Gladiators School. Adults are housed there until they
are sentenced. They don't mix the teenagers with the adults, no movement
of the 2 at the same time, cause shit pops off in the hallways. But back
to that article.

Yes, th CO's run the housing areas, they're suppose to. But what they
aren't suppose to do is let the inmates take control as they do.
