I figured that I would jump this shit off. Feel free to contribute, just don't lie. Small embellishments are probably unavoidable and will be forgiven. I do not feel like hacking out a huge narrative so I will drop little stories or factoids or other shit... I will leave out small little identifying details because ANYONE that knows me and happens to stumble across this shit, will know exactly who I am...
So...
I got slammed with a few 3 to 10's for an assortment of crimes in my late teens. I had done a couple of years on GreenOaks which is a NOTORIOUS youth facility in MI. so I wasn't too shook when the judge handed me my time. I was actually somewhat cocky about it because, by all accounts, Green Oaks Academy is as GRIMEY as it gets, including any M.D.O.C facility...
So... I might as well drop some GREEN OAKS lore since some CRAZY ass shit happened while I was there for almost 18 months... Imagine a bunch of basically feral, wild ass, mentally deranged kids crammed into a bunch of depressing, run down, units being supervised by under qualified, sadistic staff who really don't give a fuck.
Green Oaks is where MI sends it's worst youthful offender. Rapists, killers, violent sex offenders... In general, psychopathic offenders who all were supposed to get along and participate in treatment. YEAH, RIGHT... Some of the shit from our life stories would make people cringe... I've heard some of the saddest, sickest, and most sadistic things during those groups, especially people who were victims of sexual abuse.
I had one group member who had been sexually abused by his father through-out his life. He got caught sexually abusing the neighbor kid outside in broad daylight. He used to self mutilate his asshole with pencils and deodorant caps. His ass was so fucked up that he would bleed profusely and have to wear depends. He could not be trusted to sleep unsupervised so he had a cot in the middle of the dorm. It was the groups responsibility to monitor his behavior, so people had to check his ass on occasion.
This was the EARLY 90's also so EVERYBODY was gangbangin'... Assaults and stabbings were a weekly if not daily norm. Our facility was full of Latin Count5, Latin Kings, Detroit Kings, ViceLord5, Spanish Cobras, Young Guns, Street Boys, Square Boys and a host of other little qliques and crews. School and meal times where controlled chaos at best and mayhem at worst. My clique were under the People Nation... Insane Mafia Count5. We repped the 5 pointed star and were at war with anyone on the opposite team. If you were were "Rotating" and didn't handle your business, your own boys handles you. You couldn't be affiliated in the streets and get locked up and deny membership 'cause people were mad informed. I have Chicago ties to the L.C.N. and membership based out of S.W. Detroit so I had no choice but to bang, which, I would not have chose otherwise. I was wild as fuck back then and anyone could get it. I didn't give a fuck.
The CRAZIEST shit that I have ever seen or semi-witnessed in my life happened on the detention/lockdown/solitary wing in G.O. A soon to be NOTORIOUS inmate dug a hole through the wall in his cell to another younger inmates cell, held him hostage and REPEATEDLY RAPED him for 12 hours while the State Police had to figure out how to free the young kid from his psychopathic captor. After this, they moved the Perpetrator to another cell, where he bit his finger off and wrote shit on the walls with the bitten of chunk, or maybe the attached part... I dunno' about that...
The State decided to charge this kid as an adult for the hostage/rape so they moved him to the county jail, where he murdered an adult inmate in a holding tank with a pencil, which he claimed to have done because he found out that the dude in his cell was a sex offender... How's that for some fucked up logic?? Anyway... Dude was so savage that The Detroit Free Press did a front page piece on him as the most dangerous juvenile in The State. I will try to provide links to the article if I can find them...
Okay.
On to the NEXT. SO, from the county, they transport you to Quarantine, where they classify you and determine what prison you need to go to... Back when I went to the joint, they had a separate Quarantine for the Under 21 set, which was Riverside Correctional... 23 hour lock down, No bathrooms in your cells, they gave you one of those hospital pee jugs that you had to empty in the bathroom when they break your doors. Since people were just coming down, this is where people tried to assert their bad assedness. More of the same gang banging and shit... early to mid-90's and, OF COURSE I ran into a few of my People5 from the street, homies and enemies alike. Stepping into the bathroom and getting banged on or banging on someone that was caught slipping was the norm. I got my ass stomped out and did some stomping. Nothing too brutal, and in hind sight, was almost fun, BUT shit could have turned out bad.
We could not get smokes in the store so the G.P. inmates who resided above us would fish us "birds" of tobacco, which was about an ounce of loose tobacco and a pack of papers. We smoked good, and ate okay. We could only spend 15 on commissary but the food there wasn't too bad...
The scariest time in Quarantine for me was when our HIV results came back. I was shooting dope on occasion before I went down, safely, but I was fucking hood rats raw dog stylee, so that shit FREAKED me out. I came back clean, thank god, but that was some shit that I sweated out for a while.
I got classed to a level four because of a prior crime, so I was sent to Michigan Reformatory, which was one of the most NOTORIOUS prisons in MI, next to Jackson, and was deemed a Gladiator School due to it's main population of inmates under 25. Single man cells, bars, and tiers. Right from the movies. Inmates could still have their own clothing and the store was still operated with TOKENS so there was a cash like economy, which led to the prison being a lot more crazy then it probably is nowadays.
I attached a small picture of R.M.I. or M.R. as it is known. Not a good one but it's all I could find...
The picture does not show the two 5 story attached wings known as I and J block where a majority of the inmates who resided there were housed...
ALSO... Anyone who want's to GOOGLE Green Oaks, Green Oaks is the MAXIMUM SECURITY portion of the MAXEY BOYS TRAINING CENTER.
