Louis Ziskin

But in our case, everybody knew it was there.

I mean, it's all documented and everything.

We really were million-dollar dope dealers.

And that is just not that common in federal prison, no matter what movies say.

So we had our little 15 minutes from that.

But the thing that really...

I think endeared us to them was the fact that we didn't rat and that I'd represented myself on the biggest case.

That was something that was impressive even to these hardened, you know, type of dudes.

And it gave us just the ability to do our time in a very easy manner compared to most people.

And ultimately then, you know, and they used to tell me all the time, they used to say, hey, Louis, there's nothing wrong with going home.

Don't get caught up in this shit.

Like where I see that gangs and they're always trying to entangle each other.

Like there was really guys in prison who are very high ranking that were very interested in making sure that

me and tamer did our part we didn't rat we fought ourselves like they they they want us to know that this wasn't our life even that we were here like we we could do more than that they didn't want us to stay in prison right and i really felt that from a lot of them it was very much like they kept us out of a couple jams they made you know there was just a couple things and you know in prison

One wrong word one wrong action and now you've got another ten years, right?

And so they really I mean, I'd love to take credit for it all myself But I really think like these dudes actually liked us.

They were cool with us They didn't play the race card with us as hard as they could have they didn't play the rule card as hard as they could have they and

There was, you know, hey, these dudes are cool, right?

So, you know, even Gato told me one day, he was like, listen, man, our own people are scared of us.

And you walk the track with me like it's nothing.
