  I remember being borded into the bluebird bus that many times hit pot holes allowing me to jump up and down and bang my nuts on the seat. We had got stuck midway over the bridge and  snowbound, While I hear the Asian Correction officer along with his partner who was the spitting image of Don Mattingly sing O.P.P by Naughty by Nature. I was alone on a saturday at that cold bus,chained. I thought of using this situation to escape the two hip hop loving guards. I told the guard I was sick and going to throw up, and they quickly said " Not in here you won't" they took me outside and I said I Had to take a piss as well, I tried to run knee deep in the snow when i got tackled and kicked in the head
  
  I went in with a background in Muay Thai,Boxing, and Wing Chung, luckily my dad was an instructor
  
  A smaller short bus came to take me and bring me into C-74, there the guards let the others I tried to escape. Unshackled I was with two black kids in one room and told to strip and put my belongings into a metal table, my clothes folded , I noticed the kid on the left tried to steal my Marlboro watch so when the guard left I socked him with a cross while he put back his underwear, he fell back and hit his head, he was unconscious, the guard looked and screamed " What happened" I simply said some people can't stand up like they used to, and ultimately was met with a punch to the stomach, I shook it off and brought into a long corridor which lead me to C74, as I walked in I noticed the other dorms had windows on the door where the neanderthals would shout things out like" Im gonna get you whiteboy" Going in I was given a blanket, pillowcase without pillow, soap and one roll of toilet paper which I called , "John Wayne" toilet paper because it was hard as nails and took no shit from nobody" Quickly word got out about me knocking some kid unconscious so I made friends , my dorm was MO house for trouble makers, it was 50 percent Dominicans, 30 percent puerto ricans and the rest black and other.
  
  My first meal was Pasta and meat with no sauce , I was also given a milk, food tasted like wet noodles and grill gristle.
  
  During dinner we were lead to chow where there was a metal canister in the middle, It was filled with cold Pink Lemonade libation goodness.
  
  Dinner was some sort of sausage with beans which was tolerable.
  
  I later learned to get a muslim halal card, and a jewish card, and know the kitchen staff to see which card would get me a better meal for the day.
  
  Chocolate pudding was great.
  
  When I would shower, I would take my clothes and wash them, people thought it was funny, but It was really a way for me not to get my own clothes robbed being there was no jump suits.
  
  The day room was controlled by the suicide watch, quality programming was usually spanish novelas.Phone time, you did not get a pin number, I had 20 minutes a day since I was new, which became an hour after beating someone's ass who kept harassing me while I talked to my court appointed attone
  
  During my stay I had gotten into a couple of fights one with a guard named Castro who was Puertorican and Italian. He was a real prick who thought he could fight, but was only tough when his supervisor was there. He sucker punched me and I had picked him up and slammed him down the floor, I was later beaten by two other C.Os and brought to Bing court. That landed me with some infraction and lead to my stay longe. I was in Solitary that was not really bad, because my mind thought I was somewhere else. I was let out in 2 weeks and did not get an infraction for assault like they scared me into. Castro ended up making a ton of money on O.T during a slashing at my dorm that happened shortly. They have a thing called "Slash for cash" where everybody makes a killing in O.T whenever someone gets their face cut, I haven't saw him for awhile and I guess the other incident was more important money wise.
  
  I had got suckered punched and got 2 split lips into a fight, it required 20 stitches my mom got me out of the dorm, which I was against and placed in the dreaded protective custody dorm. PC was also called "pussy city," but you had your own cell, with sink and toilet, great privacy. My accommodations had a king kong with a woman painted on the wall with tropical trees, my window faced laguardia airport.
  
  I had been in more fights in Rikers in anytime on the street. My next to  last fight was a day before I got released from a court date. Some stupid kid name trini thought I stole his deodorant, and while another fight when on I brutally beat the shit out of him in his cell. Then the bullpins, when going to court fights break out in bullpins, they have one for each borough you get locked up in. I kicked some guy with a 3 piece suit in the face for making fun of my stitches" it looked like a crooked mustache", I made sure he looked like an asshole with a ripped suit in a black eye.
  
  Rikers adolencent sucks ass , now I hear more than ever, hopfully the DoJ will make this

  I was sent here for being in arrears on child support. They placed me and treated me just like I was the worst. I was placed with vicious murderers and gangsters. I said that this had to be an error and tried to complain but my complaints fell on deaf ears. I don't know what effect giving this hellhole a 1-star rating does. It will likely fall on deaf ears also. But who knows? I just wanted to get this off my chest.

  As a life-long Trekker, I was so excited to find out that Jonathan Frakes had FINALLY opened his private island to Star Trek fans. However, after going I have to say that anyone considering going to this joke of a Star Trek con is wasting your time. NO ONE cos-played, there was no schedule AT ALL, and Jonathan didn't even hold a Q&A OR sign autographs! In fact, the whole time I was there I didn't even see him once! For an ENTIRE ISLAND named after the one and only William T. Riker, to not even have the actor who played him show up for even a small appearance was terribly disappointing.
  
  If you are trying to decide whether or not to go, set a course for as far away from  RI as you can and warp 9.9 out of there! I would have liked to have said to my fellow fans, "Engage!" for a trip to Riker's Island, but in the end it was a total disappointment.

  I wuz prettee disuppointed. All these movees and familee things you go to preparing you for wut prison will be like. I get there and I'm deeciding how I shood act to show that I don't take no shit off no one. Evereeone always acts like they can be thee best fighter so I was like maybe I'll try to be crazy? I looks this girl dead in the face and I'm telling her how cold I am. What a killer I am. I says "you ever watch someone you love die? Like you cood have pulled them from in frunt of a mooving trane butt you just lookt them in the eye and let em go? I had a giga pet once. I didn't lose it. Kept it on me at all tymes. I cood have just pooshed the button and fed it but I didn't. Let it go. Dead way befor the baterees ran out." She never tried to mess with me the rest of the tyme. She got releesd fyve mynits later.

  This place wasnt that bad. I was treated with respect and dignity.  The highly diverse population allowed me to see other peoples opinions and we exchanged cultural ideas.
