Will Carmelo Anthony survive prison? What is going on with Carmelo Anthony right now since he's actually has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for getting um a kid together. That's just how we going and we that's how we going to put it. Um I'm not going to go too much into the case because you should already know um what's going on that you even clicked on here. But I'm just going to give a little prison insight because I was a former correction officer. So I'm just going to go through, you know, maybe some things that he may actually be going through right now and I'm also going to give my opinion on if I think Carmelo Anthony will survive prison. Um because this has turned into a race thing due to social media and everything. Um but anyway, let's move forward. Okay, so after he was sentenced, um obviously the guards is going to take him away, yada yada yada, okay? But after that, you know, he might stay for maybe a day in the jail or whatever. Um but he is going to be moved to a reception, okay? First, when you are sentenced and you have to go do state time, you have to go do your time, um you're going to go to a reception prison, not or jail intake, right? Uh intake facility, okay? Um you're not going to go directly to I mean, you're it's still prison, but it's just it it's like OJT. If you on the job, you know, on the job training, okay? It's an intake facility and at that facility they're going to do um things like classification, right? At at intake you're either going to stay there 30, 60, 90 days. Uh every state is different, every process is different. Some it might even be 2 weeks, right? But I I I think it'll be a little bit longer than 2 weeks. Um but it'll be either 30, 60, or 90 days that you'll stay um in intake, all right? Um at your intake facility. Now, there what's going to happen is you're going to get your classification, okay? What that means is that they're actually going to look at the crime that you committed, if you have any priors, things like that, whatever, and they're going to classify you as to, you know, where you should go next. Are you going to go to, you know, are you getting your first DUI or, you know, are you doing time for a DUI or something like that? You might go to a medium or a minimum, right? Um it it all depends, right? But your murderers and stuff like that, they're going to be maximum, okay? So, for his crime, he will be sent to a maximum security prison. So, you got max, medium, minimum, okay? That's your classifications, right? Your minimums is like typically like uh like your shock camps. Um sometimes you don't get sentenced to prison, you get sentenced to like shock camp and stuff like that. Might be a little 90-day program or, you know, 6 months or something like that or whatever. Or some people get um when they're getting closer to being released, they get declassified to minimum status if they've had, you know, a good record and all of those to different types of things. So, they get to get they get to be sent to a medium or a a minimum and they may have certain privileges like uh you know, whatever, different things, right? Um but in Carmelo Anthony's case, let's just stick to him. He is going to be classified maximum, okay? So, his first prison is he's probably he's going to be sent to a maximum. He's doing 35 years. He got a lot of time, and he's it's a violent crime, right? So, um but also at intake, um what's going to be happening is your medical, okay? You're going to get all your shots. You're going to get all your uh exams and stuff. They want to make sure, you know, whatever diseases or whatever you got, whatever they trying to make sure you good, you know what I mean? They trying to do go through all of that stuff. So, they're going to go through your medical. They're going to go through your dental as well. They're going to go through your dental um your your you know, vision, things like that, whatever, but um all of that stuff, right? And also, you're going to go see a a mental health person as well. Make see see where you at. They they might classify you mental health, you know? Uh we got one through six um or we got one through six, and then we got one S right here in New York State or whatever, right? So, um you're going to get your you know, your mental health and all of that stuff. Make sure you good. Um especially for someone like him who has he's young, never been in trouble um real you know, this is his first big, you know what I mean? So, um that he's definitely going to meet with um a mental health uh counselor and and things of that nature. Um and then also, he's going to get his clothes, right? He's going to get his clothes. Um you you know, his clothes and uh you know, his shower shoes and all of that type of stuff, your boots, um you know, it may have boots. And yeah, he that's what's going to be going on. And also, what has already been leaked, what happens at reception and things like that, is or not leaked, but released, whatever you want to call it, is he's going to get his ID photo, right? He's going to get a haircut, and he's going to get his ID photo. Um And this is him, right? So, you see his hair. He's got a haircut. Um you know, he's he's got the you got the white backdrop. Um so, this is going to be his ID photo um until he gets to his next facility. When he when he actually goes to his actual he's always going to you typically going to always go to go and see ID. Right? When you get there, you know, whatever. Um but yeah, that's that's that, right? So, these are things that go on in reception. You know, like what I what I So, yeah, you're you're going to go to intake or, you know, your reception prison. Um you'll stay there for you know, however long they they get all this stuff done. This stuff may is not going to all be done in one day or whatever. It takes a you know, it takes a little process. That's why I said 30, 60, or 90 days, you know, for you to go see mental health, go see the dentist, go see, you know, your your you know, get your physical and all of that those types of things or whatever. And also, um this will be a opportunity also for them to um do your your diet as far as your food and stuff like that. because if you if you have like uh different you know special allergies and all that type of stuff or whatever they'll be doing that stuff. And also at this time um he's meeting new friends which as crazy as it sounds he's meeting new friends at this time um because they're all going through the process together. Everyone at intake you're all going through this together right now. When you get classified you're going you're you know you're going different spots but this is where he's going to meet his like first batch of quote-unquote friends right um so that's that that that is that as far as um you know his first his first little couple of days and weeks that's pretty much how that's going to go. Um now as far as do I think he'll survive? Um I do think he will survive. I know that there is a big race thing going on and this made national news. So the inmates already know about him before he even arrives. Okay? They are they're waiting on him. All right? And but I think that and I could be wrong but just from what I've seen and observed I do think the black community will rally behind him and protect him from the whites. Okay? Now he could still get got. Let's you know he's going to have to uh did he did he finish school? I can't remember if he finished school or not but he's going to have to you know go to programs. You know eventually when he goes to when he goes to jail and get or when he goes to prison and really get acclimated, not reception, but when he goes to prison prison and get acclimated and stuff, he's going to be going to programs cuz he's either going to go to programs or you're going to work. One of the two. Programs could be college. Uh if you still got to get your school like as far as GED, you're going to be doing that. Um you know, if you're not doing anything like that, then you're going to be sent to work, right? You're going to either work in the school building or you're going to be a porter on the house or you're going to be a a porter somewhere else. You know, you're going to be working. They're going to put you to work. Okay? They're going to get that sweat equity out of you, okay? You're young. You you know, they're probably going to put you in the field. They might put you in horticulture or something. You know, have you out there planting [ __ ] and all types of stuff like that, okay? They're going to put you to work where they where they need you. You strong. You you you look young, healthy. They need you out there doing You're not going to have a cushy job. You know what I'm saying? You're not going to have to kick back chilling with the Yeah, nah. Nah, they're going they're going to put you to work in the beginning, okay? You got to earn your stripes, man. So, they're going to have you out there, all right? In that hot sun. Oh, yeah, it's summertime. You went to jail You went to prison right on time. It's going to be hot out there. But anyway, uh never never mind all that, but um you know, so he is going to um when he gets to prison, there is going to be a you know, there's going to be tension throughout this whole thing because social media has turned it into a race thing. Um and it it's not. All right? It's not. I know it may be a unpopular opinion. He's black. He killed a white guy. You know, all this is race This isn't about race, okay? I I honestly, but whatever. I'm not I'm not going to get into it like that. Uh I just want to give a little breakdown of what I think on what's going to go on on the prison side. But, so as far as like typically with inmates that are unknown, they're going to have to do their paperwork either bring their paperwork to the yard or whatever, whoever's the boss on the housing unit, whatever. They Whatever. The The And on the cell block, whatever, he going to have to show his paperwork to somebody, right? But, somebody like him, not necessarily because his case was so publicized like it was it was out They know what he did. They know what what's what. So, he's I think he would have protection off the rip. I think some some OGs, some some of the older guys will come through and get behind this kid. Whether it's right or wrong, whatever. Um, it is what it is. And inside of prison, it's it's it's a race thing. Everything is race, okay? So, he There's going to There's going to be some some Caucasians after him, okay? They They going to want to make a name There's going to be some young Caucasian right now that's waiting to make rank and and oh, if I Man, if I cut up If I cut up uh uh Carmelo, oh, I'm going to rank up or whatever. It's going It is that There might be a price on his head. I'm not going to lie. Get justice for doing all of that stuff, but I do think the black community inside of prison will rally behind this guy. Um, and he's in there He's not in there for a weirdo crime like a you know, the We know them weirdo crimes. When you messing with them, you know, he's in there for you know, for a violent crime. So, um I think there will be some some older guys that rally around him and you know, help him out, you know. Um but with that being said, this was on the news. And what comes with being on the news is that people know that his family got money from this whole situation, okay? From donations, X, Y, and Z. They buying new cars, things like that. So, what can also be a problem for him is that even though I think he would get protection, there could be people in the black community that may want him to pay for protection as well. And I say that because they know that the kid got the kid family got money. So, that may be a problem for him as well. Um and also, Carmelo is going to have to get used to, um you know, uh spreading his cheeks, you know what I'm saying? Bending over, cough, open your mouth, ah ah let me see inside your mouth. You going to have to get used to that because there's going to be a CO telling you that, seeing you naked, and letting you know what you can and cannot do, your every move, man. Which, you know, the the CO got to tell you when you can shower. The CO got to tell you when you can go to the yard or when you can go play basketball, when you can go get commissary, or when you can go see your family, you know, when your family come to visit you. Your family can come and visit you and they could deny your visit. You know, it's a whole bunch of other stuff this young man has made a stupid stupid stupid decision and he is going to live to regret it. He is probably crying right now, okay? There has been moments since he's been in that he has cried. Trust me, okay? Um at night when he's laying on that hard thin ass mattress with metal underneath, he's crying. Because this young man for a split second decision gave up his freedom for life in prison. So, that's what I think um those those that's my thoughts on what I think Carmelo's uh next couple of weeks, months, and all that type of different type of stuff may actually look like. >> [music] >> Um This man young man made a stupid decision, man. And um it's life. It's probably going to be a price on his head, but I do think he'll get protection. Um but I also think um some guys is going to get some money up out of him and up out of his parents because this has been all over, okay? Um but yeah, um this is a different type of video. Uh I don't do videos like this all the time, but it is a little bit different. Uh switching it up a little bit and just giving you my thoughts on what I think life for him will be like in prison. Um Um It's going to be a bumpy road and trust me, he is regretting it and he is crying, okay? The men be crying. Don't get it [ __ ] up. >> [laughter] >> But, anyways, um yeah, so that's my takes on it. Um I catch you in the next video. >> [music]
