92 for doubles skeet is good shootin' Looks like a fun day!

I'd agree but these kids today are incredible. A singles trap team of 5 shot a 497 today. They shot a 500 in Vegas last week

My mother worked in HR for TDCJ for 32 years. When she was at Hughes Unit in Gatesville I would go inside the walls and sit in her office to wait for a haircut. Convicted felons all around as porters, didn't think twice. I was in elementary school.
My mom would walk me down the hall to the barber shop where a convicted aggravated robber named Junebug would cut my hair. Great memories.

My father was in corrections for over 45 years. 26 with TDCJ and the remainder with CCA. The stories he has will blow your mind...especially the ones from the 70s and 80s where it was Wild West style for TDCJ. He was warden at six different prisons and even opened up the Hughes Unit in Gatesville in the 90s.

A few years ago he was up in Shelby, Montana checking out a prison....in January. As you can imagine his clothing wasn't sufficient so the Warden there gave him a big heavy parka with my dads name on it. As their walking a main housing corridor they turn a corner and a prisoner reaches through his cell bars with a homemade shiv and jabs it at my father. Got caught up in the heavy parka on his right shoulder. Didn't even break the skin. The warden sent in the sort team and they kicked the ever living bejesus out of the inmate for his stunt. To say he was thankful for that parka the Warden gave him is an understatement.

My father was Warden of Coffield outside Palestine back in the 80s. He once had a Sgt. get stabbed by in inmate right in the stomach. Pretty bad wound but he ended up living.
Fast forward to 2022 and my father is running a halfway house in Austin. He is doing his usual paperwork and in walks an older fella. He says to my dad "you were warden back at Coffield in 1986 weren't you?"
My dad says "yes I was. How do you know me"
The fella says "I was the one that stabbed Sgt. XYZ back in 1986. I just got out of prison last year."
My dad was bewildered, floored, and shocked. He did not know what to say. They talked some more and my dad ended up telling the fella "you are lucky they took you to Ad Seg before I got to you because I was going to kick the tar out of you".

A PSA from my dad, who has seen just about everything prison-wise in this country. He has been all over the place and seen many places and this is his one piece of advice:"never get convicted of a crime in Mississippi because you are not coming out alive"
He said the level of corruption in those prisons is staggering. He said you don't know who is more dangerous, the officers or the convicted felons!

I had to interview serial killer Danny Paul Bible at the death row unit for a Cold Case investigation lead out of montana. I had to sit there and listen to him for over an hour and try to get my questions in without thinking about the fact that he was on death row for killing my aunt.

Wow, that would be difficult.

My dad said you do get to hear some interesting stories in prison. He talked to one guy that told him about a meth lab that blew up in an enclosed trailer he was pulling once. I guess some guy was in there too. That guy is still scattered all over the side of the highway somewhere in Eastern Oklahoma. He wasn't even in prison because of that. Nobody ever knew about it.

I seen a dude that was cooking meth in a trailer house a few months ago. He was in the process of moving the liquid from the cook to 5 gallon water barrels when he spilled it.

Apparently he got more on him that you're supposed to and started to squirm around on the floor as he died. While he was squirming on the floor he made a meth angel in the residue.

Once we was able to get him out the house we had to decontaminate him before the meat wagon would take him. Felt like we was watering the garden or something

That's some bad stuff. I've heard if they cook that crap in a house it's ruint. It's not safe to live in that house ever again.

I think it was about 7 years ago it was nice one night so I had the door standing wide open so the air could come inside. It was around the 4th of July and we heard a hellacious "boom" followed by another. Me being the smart aleck I am made a comment about fireworks getting serious and "Did a meth lab just blow up?" I don't remember my exact words. Not long after the fire trucks went by. A guy was cooking meth in an enclosed trailer and his girlfriend wanted some meth but he wouldn't give it to her. So she poured gas around the trailer while he was in there and lit it up. It was parked right next to their trailer house so the end of the trailer caught fire and then propane tanks exploded. I don't know how many was in there but it blew the end of their trailer house off and across the street.

The only casualty was a parrot. That was 4 blocks from my house and you talk about loud. Holy crap, it shook the walls of my house. He must've had a hell of a chemistry set in there. That made a big noise.

The lady that set the fire is actually a buddy of mines mom. She's always been kinda rough lookin and meaner than heck. Smokes cigarettes like they're going out of style and never doesn't have a beer in her hand. LOL......I don't know why I find that funny. The ridiculousness of it I guess. That probably sounds like a made up story but unfortunately no, it's not.
