I kind of half assed watching this episode as I was working on the computer and looking up occasionally…it felt like one of those uneventful ones and my mind wandered…Luck Chucky and his roommate,ugh…the new inmate, sigh…the stuff with Carlos was interesting…funny when he pulled the drugs out of his sock… hopefully next week is a bit more impactful…
If you’re gonna half-ass an episode, this one is perfect for it.
I feel like it could have been condensed to about 5-10 minutes, actually.
Yeah not the most engaging of ep’s…which usually means they will bounce back next week…previews looked promising…
Season 7: Episode 5
Okay, we’re finally getting some cats to General Population.
It’s wild how the sliding scale of what is great and what is awful gets completely skewed in jail/prison. Coming from the bullshit quarantine, they’re downright ecstatic to get into something marginally resembling humanity.
Carlos going cell-block cuisine master chef is awesome! I know he’s not always walking a straight line, but I love how he constantly jumps into a new hustle.
And how fucking AWESOME is BullRider!!!??? I want to go to prison just to hang with those cats. It seems like with BullRider as top dog, no one is pulling any racial bullshit, but it’s possible that we’ll see shit later that is not being highlighted yet.
Shit like seeing a kid locked up because no one paid a $150 bail bond really breaks my heart. So glad that the dudes rallied for him, but goddamn, he was in there for 2 months. . . for stealing something from Wal-Mart. I can’t even imagine how that would feel. My family and friends just letting me rot for $150. I take a lot in my life for granted, haha.
Oh, shit . . . . that $150 bond kid is kind of a roller coaster story. I was feeling so positive and joyful when I saw him eating his cake. And then his mom denied his bond. Fuck. I think it’ll actually be good, though. With Bullrider and Darius I think the schooling that Deshaun gets in the clink may be better than anything he’d get from his family or friends outside. I hope there’s a follow-up on that kid after the show.
My satellite went out due to bad weather so I only got to see about 30 min of the show…re-record is set and going to watch tomorrow night…
The second half has some killer shit!
Fucking Lucky Chucky is out. For all his talk, total pussy.
I guess this ex-con cast idea is a big bust.
It’s pretty funny. I haven’t watched the episode yet, but it came on my TV while I was working. Sure enough, it’s only like 3 minutes in and I see Chucky wearing his street clothes in an interview segment. I just rolled my eyes like, yup, saw that coming. Fucking chump.
I’m not keeping a proper tally or anything, but it seems like the tapout ratio is just as high, if not higher, with this season which used all veteran inmates versus early seasons where they threw in regular “civilians”.
I did like Chucky’s honesty about one thing last episode. The crew was saying, “This is no different than anything you did before when you got locked up.” And Chucky said, “The difference is I didn’t have the OPTION of leaving before.”
The sheriff is a hard ass mofo, and I’ve always kind of defaulted to the same way of thinking (“It’s JAIL, motherfucker! Don’t do shit that puts you in jail!”) but I do think it’s kinda gross that Farrakhan seemed to not even care about Chucky’s complaint about the lack of basic nutrition. I think for the most part Chucky was just being a twat, but the idea of not getting any fruits and vegetables during months or years of incarceration is pretty dark.
I eat pretty shitty a lot of the time, but I also feel my mind and body revolt against me if I don’t get some fruits and veggies in me here and there.
Jail takes the most basic required building blocks of minimal life (i.e. sleep and food) and takes it from you. Yeah, I could see how I could turn into a crazed monster in those conditions.
Oh, shit! Sheriff is jammin’ on the drums! HAHA!!
Gotta play catch up…2 ep behind…will watch over the wknd
Fuck! Can you imagine having to wear the same shitty clothes for a whole damned month in that dirty toilet of a jail?

Yeah I’m caught up now…the jumpsuit not being washed and the sanitary napkin thing was some pretty shockingly egregious shit,man…foul and vile shit…
And that dude overflowing his toilet and shit water running everywhere…what an absolute fucking hell on earth nightmare…
Yeah, that too! It’s hard for us to imagine, but those guys are basically living in a shitty bathroom 24/7 already. The toilets are inches from your bed, and you’re sharing it with one other greaseball and both of you are eating the worst food imaginable. And everyone else’s shit it always one room over… which is just a few feet away. You know when someone stinks up the bathroom after laying a dumper. Imagine that every day of your life, all day. The flooding of the psycho’s shitter from above is just more horror. Your “home” is a 6’ cell shared with a stranger… and now the floor is an ocean of piss and diarrhea. Fuck.
Fuckin’ A! This is a proper episode!
15 minutes in and we got a pretty killer power team in the men’s pod.
Every week I hope to see Bullrider fight a motherfucker, though. No payoff yet, hahaha!!!
And I never thought I’d be so turned off by two chicks having a masturbation contest!
I’m definitely Team Rose on that front – shit, never mind, Rose narc’d on them hoes to the CO’s. That’s weak, haha.
Man, I want to see Bullrider fight a motherfucker so bad!
And Deashawn with a mean left hook!!! Or, uhhh, a hook at least, hahaha!!! It was tragic. Didn’t even land, just kinda tapped him barely. Dude was like, “Was that a punch?”
Also, I’m sad that they pulled Nick back and kept him from fighting Thump. He’s smaller, but I was actually thinking he might go the distance. He’s a scrappy little fucker and doesn’t really seem to be scared of anything. I wanna see him take a real challenge.
I’m on it…
Amazing the amount of drama over 5 cookies…that “punch” Deshaun threw was a fucking travesty to human kind…I get the feeling that kid should definitely be in another jail…
Thump seems like the kind of guy who you think might be all talk until you push him enough…
Carlos getting a little to big for his britches…kind of tiring of his whole thing…but he is a man of action I will say that…
And yes Gunnar,that was the most unerotic dual female masterbation scene of all time…
Good episode.
Agree about Carlos, but I kind of predicted it at the beginning. He talks a lot of shit. Eventually, he’s going to have to act or people will see through him.
Yeah you can tell Carlos is way more interested in being Mr Ex convict show off than actually helping with any kind of prison reform…he just slips right back in to his role to try to show he is some kind of OG hustler/mentor…his veneer is thin…
While no one else has taken such a prominent roll in the jail heirarchy/politics, I think this is a problem with all of them. No one really seems to be focused on the tasks of reconnaissance work. It really just seems to be a small handful of people running out the clock and serving their time. Darius obviously has a beard fo Daeshawn, but… so? As for prison reform, they’re all gonna come out and give the same complaints that in sure the place has already heard from every inmate.
I was watching again last night and it was such a great loaded episode that I think none of us thought to mention one of the best scenes of the entire series…
When Nick is huffing and puffing and wanting to fight… and Bullrider grabs him in a bear hug and picks him off his feet and carries him up the stairs and back to his cell. It was like a parent or teacher grabbing a 5 year old out of the sandbox. Excellent shit.
And yeah, Carlos’ top dog mafia boss status is secure… until a big scary Motherfucker comes in. Then he’ll get knocked down and all those bottom feeders like Scopes that are under Carlos’ heel will be more than excited to be part of a full pod coup to see homeboy eat shit. Also, things will change a lot if Bullrider is moved out.
Thump is back… hopefully we’ll get to see some thumpin’!!
