- When it comes to prison,
[1]
you think you know, but you don't know.
[5]
(dramatic music)
[9]
Hi, my name is Coss Marte,
[10]
and I'm the founder and CEO of ConBody.
[13]
And I was incarcerated for
six years in New York state.
[17]
Rikers Island, Sparfield, Elmira.
[20]
Right now I'm a personal trainer,
[22]
and I founded this
company, ConBody, to hire
[24]
formerly incarcerated people
to teach our fitness classes.
[27]
So we run our prison-style boot camp.
[29]
And what we do is go back into prison
[32]
and we train these guys to
become personal trainers.
[36]
(upbeat music)
[42]
Are jail and prisons the same thing?
[44]
Yes, no.
[45]
So the answer is no.
[46]
Basically, jail, it's a holding space
[49]
where you're gonna be seeing the judge
[50]
and you're fighting a case
until you're proven guilty.
[54]
Once you're proven guilty, that's when
[56]
you're sentenced to prison.
[58]
So jail is the first step,
[60]
and then you'll be sentenced
to prison right after jail.
[63]
What do you eat in prison?
[64]
Filet mignon, Nutraloaf,
depends on the day.
[67]
It does depend on the day.
[69]
Some days, you have like a good chow
[71]
where you're gonna get
like maybe something
[73]
that looks like chicken,
that tastes like chicken.
[75]
But then you also could
[77]
eat the Nutraloaf when you get in trouble
[78]
and you're in solitary confinement.
[80]
It tastes disgusting, and
there was never filet mignon.
[84]
Are you really afraid
of dropping the soap?
[87]
Yes, no, sometimes.
[90]
Yes, no I'm (beep) with you.
[91]
No, I was never afraid
of dropping the soap.
[94]
I mean, you hear the rumors
when you watch these shows,
[97]
and the first time I went to jail,
[99]
it was like a lot of that prison rumor,
[102]
you went to prison you probably got raped
[104]
or anything like that, is all B.S.
[107]
This is not the 80s, and this is not "Oz."
[109]
How many hours a day do
you spend in your cell
[111]
while you're in solitary confinement?
[113]
Eight hours, 12 hours,
[114]
23 hours, 24 hours.
[117]
So you spend 23 hours.
[119]
You're required to get one hour rec.
[121]
(upbeat music)
[126]
I was actually violated and
was not given that hour of rec,
[129]
and I spent 24-hour lockdown for 30 days.
[133]
Do you stay in the same prison
for all of your sentence?
[136]
Yes or no.
[137]
No, you go through different phases.
[140]
You go from jail to prison,
[141]
and you have to go through
a reception process,
[143]
then you land in another prison.
[145]
And in the six years I was incarcerated,
[146]
I ended up in seven prisons.
[150]
(upbeat music)
[155]
Which colors do inmates wear?
[157]
Red, orange,
[158]
blue, white.
[160]
All of the above.
[161]
It varies from prison to prison.
[163]
Most of the time, you cannot
wear what the guards wear.
[167]
(upbeat music)
[171]
They're afraid that you probably could
[173]
sew a prison guard's like uniform
[177]
and walk out the door with it.
[178]
True or false, inmates
often segregate by race.
[182]
True.
[183]
When you go into a prison, even a yard,
[185]
you'll see handball courts are segregated.
[188]
You go to a mess hall,
the tables are segregated.
[191]
Even the phones that you use
[192]
inside of a prison pod,
they're all segregated by race.
[197]
Which of these innovations can be made
[199]
by inmates in a prison?
[200]
A lighter made out of
battery and headphone wires.
[204]
A fryer made out of a
metal bed frame and a iron.
[207]
A tattoo gun made out of a staple
[209]
and a inside of a tape cassette player.
[212]
So all of the above was all
made while I was in prison,
[215]
and I actually used to
make some of these things.
[218]
(upbeat music)
[226]
In your experience, are
prison escapes common or not?
[230]
Very common, occasionally, rarely.
[233]
Prison escapes are rarely attempted.
[236]
I've never seen one happen
[238]
in the incarceration
period that I've been in.
[241]
(upbeat music)
[246]
You might see once in a blue,
a Shawshank Redemption story,
[250]
but not very common.
[251]
If try to even attempt
to escape from prison,
[255]
you get an additional charge on top
[256]
of your prison sentence
that you already received.
[259]
From a scale of one to 10, how realistic
[261]
is Orange is the New Black?
[262]
One, three, eight, 10.
[265]
I would say eight, most
of it is realistic.
[268]
(upbeat music)
[274]
But like, escaping out of
the yard when the gate opens,
[277]
and diving into the
lake, that is not real,
[280]
and it's not gonna happen.
[282]
And now you know.
