Rikers island is made up of a bunch of buildings. These buildings are different seperate jails. Each building mostly has a purpose. One building for adolescents. Another for women. Another for drug addicts. Etc.. Anyway, there is one building, THE BEACON, that nobody wants to go to. This is where they keep the high class cases, like murders, robberies, car jackings, etc. If you murder 5 people, you will be housed in this building. Or if you fight a lot or have a lot of cuttings and stabbings, you will end up here also. This building is so bad, the C.O.'S use it to threaten inmates. "You want me to send you to the beacon". Most inmates would chill out. The beacon is the newest building on rikers, so I never been there before. All I knew was that nobody wanted to go there. Anyway, I got into a bad fight one day and was sent to the "bing" for 30 days. When I finished my 30 days, they told me I was going to the beacon. Ok kool. I get to see what all the hype is about. I get on a bus with like ten other dudes also going there. These dudes where damn near cryin that they had to go to the beacon. I couldn't understand. Then when we go to the building, I couldn't believe what was going on. They make you go thru a sensitive metal detector before you can enter the building, because of a lot of stabbings and cuttings. If you can't clear the metal detector, they don't allow you into the building. Like 5 dudes stuck aa batteries up there asses, so that they couldn't clear the metal detector, and wouldn't be allowed in inside the building.
These dudes were so scared to come in to this building that they stuck fukkin batteries up their ass. I couldn't believe it. Then when the metal detctor would keep going off, the c.o's knew what these kids did and would be calling them fagggots, pussys and everything else. When I got inside the building, it was fukkin torture. Bloods rule everything. If your not blood, life is miserable. Dudes were getting cut and stabbed for no reason. Just beacause the bloods were bored. The only reason I survived because I knew 2 of the head bloods in my housing unit, from staten island. This was the worst jail I ever been in, in my 7 years of prison. Easily the worst and most dangerous. I would never, but I could see why those dudes were putting those batteries up their poop chute.
