The Joe Rogan Experience
#2245 - Rod Blagojevich

In the prison I was in, there were a lot of black guys, a lot of Latinos, a lot of guys from Mexico, seen a lot of drug cartel people, a lot of Native Americans, there were Pacific Islanders, and of course white guys, and sex offenders, they were their own group. And so they all pretty much rode in their own cars, their separate cars. But I told them, look, I don't fear anybody.

If somebody wants to fucking kill me here, in some ways they're putting me out of my misery. I'm not going to be doing some kind of thing like that. It's racist. I'm not doing that. Whoever's nice to me, I'm going to be nice to them. And I'll respect your rules. I won't sit with the black guys or with any Latino guys. I'll sit with the white guys.

But I'm not going to unless you're ordering me to tell me and telling me I can't walk with those guys or talk to these guys. I'm going to keep doing it. And they say, well, we can't do that because this is an unwritten way that we operate and keep order in prison. And then they told me something which I respected. They said, look, you're not in the real world here anymore.

This is not a place where you could be a civil rights advocate or an activist, a civil rights activist. This is prison. You don't have the same rights here that you have out there. We can't order you not to have relationships or conversations with people from another race. But we can't order you to stop doing stuff that could be counterproductive to us keeping safety.

So if you're going to sit with somebody outside your race in the chow hall, that's a direct affront to us. And there are measures that we can take to make sure that you don't do those sorts of things. And I respected the fact that they said it was to keep order, and it was the culture, and pretty much everybody in the prison system accepts it anyway.

He was like the most respected inmate. He got a 25-year sentence. He looked like Morgan Freeman, the actor. He was a lot like him, actually. Very mature, responsible.

He was the guy a lot of the guys went to for their legal questions because he knew everything. and a real nice man and a gentle man. And by the time I got there, he had already done like 20 something years. So he was close to going home. I'd stay up late at night with him talking in the dormitory portion of the prison where I was first before I got my cell.
