a 19-year-old young man named reggy Cole entered one of the strongest prisons in America where he had to face the king of this prison who was dubbed El diabloo which means the devil despite the violent events that happened to regi in his confrontation against the devil this confrontation eventually led to something happy that was never expected a story with exciting events and an unexpected end so let's watch the events of this story together today's story is about regy Cole reggy was still a child when his family moved to Los Angeles in 1985 they moved to

a dangerous area where the crime rates and violence were Rising continuously and many gangs were operating Reggie was the youngest brother of two boys and two girls he was just 10 years old and one of his older brothers Kenny who was 15 years old joined one of the violent gangs in that area with time he began to get into big problems and the Gang he was in had skirmishes and violent armed conflicts with another gang one day the members of the second gang the Hostile gang launched a surprise attack on Kenny's gang they got into

their car carrying their weapons and they quickly stormed the area of Kenny's gang and shot at a group of them who were standing on the side of the street Kenny was standing with them and he was killed after this incident reggy was devastated but kept trying to to focus on his studies to get his mind off and try to forget what happened to his brother his family was trying to help him overcome that hard situation he had been through however regg's environment had much more impact on him of course because he was close to his

late brother Kenny he inherited his friends and acquaintances in this bad gangster world and every year reggy was getting away from his studies little by little until he decided to drop out and dive into the crime World following his brother's footsteps what made the situation get even worse was the disintegration of their family and the separation of his parent as for regg's brothers his older brother who is still alive got a job in another city and left them as for his two sisters they got married and each one of them lived alone with her husband

and his father after he separated from his mother left and lived alone in another place no one stayed with him at home home but his mother his poor mother was not able to control them and every day she was devastated as she saw him getting away from her more and more his sister's husband regg's brother-in-law offered him a job in his plumbing company but reggy refused because he was living in another world at that time reggy started to plant and trade in weed he didn't commit big crimes but he traded in weed and drugs so

nobody was surprised when he was arrested for for the first time and he was only 16 years old the police saw him in the street and tried to ask him some questions but he refused to cooperate and try to escape shortly after he was arrested again for weapon possession unfortunately reggy followed his brother's Footsteps in this world and most of his income was from selling wheat until that time although regi was indulged in the gangster world he hadn't been involved yet in any violent conflict but then after years in 1995 when reggy was 19 years

old he was arrested for murdering a man next to a well-known brel in that area reggy was prosecuted and the court found him guilty he was sentenced to life in prison and he was sent to Calipatria prison one of the worst and most violent prisons in America Reggie dressed in Orange which indicates that he is a new prisoner reggy alongside other prisoners boarded a bus that was going to take them to the prison the bus kept driving in the streets until it left the city and took a road that seemed blocked and there was nothing

around reggy was looking through the bus window and saw nothing but desert shortly he was finally able to see Calipatria Prison from afar it was a complex made up of several buildings and extended over a large area it was in the middle of nowhere as if it were a graveyard to which they send people who have been rejected Ed by Society so that they can live the rest of their lives in isolation reggy was nervous since the bus left the court and the closer the bus approached the prison the more he got nervous as soon

as they crossed the first prison gate the first thing regy noticed was the smell of dung that filled the place from the animal pen of the prison reggy lowered his head to his hands that were tied to the chair trying to ignore the smell but to no avail the smell was pungent then the bus crossed a huge fence that surrounded the whole prison this fence was electrified and if anyone touched it he would die immediately of course all the prisoners knew this besides this electrified fence there was an internal fence that was not electrified but

if you crossed the internal fence you would find this huge electrified fence meaning do not consider escaping from this prison through its fences the goal of this fence was to let the guards focus on inside the prison instead of focusing on the Prison Walls and parameters because the guards in this prison were few compared to the prisoners they were 1 to 50 which means that every 50 prisoners had one guard just three months before Reiki entered the prison there was a famous incident five prisoners in this prison had a big fight with the guards that

ended with the prisoners stabbing eight guards they stabbed them with knives they made in inside the prison none of the eight guards died but this incident was big news that spread throughout the state of California everyone heard about it the bus that brought regy and the new prisoners arrived at the main building of the prison and most of the old prisoners were in the outer yard of the prison gazing at reggy and the new prisoners after the bus had stopped one of the guards came out and started calling out to the new prisoners one by

one from the list he had then after that the detainees were brought to the inspection room where they were stripped completely naked to ensure that nothing was hidden on their bodies after that they gave them prison attire and took each prisoner to his own cell the cells in this prison were like a grave it had four walls and a cement ceiling with no windows and even the door was made of a metal plate with a small opening in the middle that opened and closed from the outside this cell had a double bed a sink and

a toilet Reggie entered the cell and started discovering the place looking right and left until he noticed a person sleeping on the bed below this person was his cellmate as soon as the latter saw reggi reggy turned his face to the other side avoiding eye contact with him even though this selme was the person closest to him most of the time reggy did not know who he was so he did not want to provoke him by mistake he could be a dangerous person regy was convinced that to survive in this place he must avoid even

talking with the other prisoners when regy entered the cell he avoided talking to his friend and even without seeing him he used the ladder to climb up to his bed and laid on his back and started gazing at the ceiling from the first week in prison Rey knew how dangerous this place was and that to survive he must be careful of everything and everyone the first Lesson regy Learned was when a group of prisoners suddenly entered their cell and his cellmate tried to welcome them and be nice to them so they wouldn't hurt them but

these prisoners suddenly attacked him beat him and raped him while reggi was sleeping on his bed above trying to ignore the situation and pretending to be sleeping so that they wouldn't hurt him because his cellmate didn't try to fight or resist them this was repeated several times and every time these prisoners broke into their cell and did the same thing to his cellmate and every time REI tried to pretend to be sleeping and ignored the situation although he was listening to what was happening from that time regy realized that he needed to fight to survive

in this place he noticed that many of the prisoners had handmade NS which means they used normal things but in one way or another they turned them into knives and sharp things so he also had to make his knife the only tool he had was his toothbrush using a stone regy kept sharpening the tip of the brush until it became sharp and ready to be used in stabbing so his toothbrush became his knife every day the prisoners had the right to go out to the prison's outer yard Reggie while watching the situation noticed that most

of the prisoners were in gangs and he felt that he would need to join a gang that would protect him and back him up but the problem is that it was hard for new prisoners like him to join a gang immediately they had to prove themselves first reggy started looking for a gang that was close to his original gang with whom he had been working before being arrested he tried to watch the situation from a distance without attracting anyone's attention he knew that if he attracted others attention that would be like an execution sentence for

him even though regy was trying to stay away from the problems as much as he could one day while he was walking in the prison yard a group of prisoners suddenly trapped him it was clear that they were a gang and the biggest one of them who seemed to be their leader approached him hold his neck and fixed him on the fence that was surrounding the outside yard Reggie while he was fixed on the fence felt that the eyes of all the prisoners were on him every prisoner in the yard would know what happened there

and he remembered the torment that his cellmate was suffering therefore he realized that if he didn't react at that moment he would be suffering the same torment as his cellmate everyone would see him as an easy hunt so he had to resist with a sudden movement in the blink of an eye reggy took out his sharp toothbrush and stabbed the big man in his waist the stab was not intended to kill him because if he killed him the guards would take severe measures against him and he could even be sentenced to death later the goal

of the stab was to be a strike of int idation and to prove himself to everyone a message to everyone that RI is not an easy person that anyone can dare to attack after the stab The Gang That was trapping him dispersed and even the big man who was holding him retreated so as not to receive a second attack reg's resistance made him classified as a dangerous person and began to have a reputation among the prisoners after this incident there was a gang called 49 welcomed regy so that he could join them and here regy

had finally reached what he sought a gang that he could join and protect his back because it was the only way for him to survive in this place finally he was able to make a place for himself in the middle of this jungle despite the large number of gangs inside Calipatria prison all of these gangs were subject to one man a man who positioned himself as the king of this place the most violent and Powerful prisoner in this prison is a very big man named Eddie Clark and they dubbed him El Diablo which means the

devil in Spanish for El Diablo the prison was not only his home but his business too there were smuggling operations of drugs and Contraband that took place constantly inside this prison and all of these smuggling operations were under the management of El Diablo he set up a small drug Empire for himself inside the prison everyone in this prison was afraid of him and tried to avoid his evil even the guards were confessing to his status and influence over this place and they were giving him special privileges to maintain calm and peace you would say all

this is happening and he would call it peace believe me the situation could have been much worse every prisoner was inside this prison due to a murder case or a very violent case so this place could turn into hell at any moment and the guards were trying to preserve peace as much as they could and their leniency with the El Diablo and granting him distinctions was part of the necessary concessions in This Way El Diablo took full control over the prison and no one dared to confront or object to him neither the prisoners nor the

guards as for reike he was comfortable with his new situation with his gang and not only felt safe but he even felt like he was a human being again he could go out with his gang and play basketball or they could sit in the yard and talk in complete safety he had people around him that he trusted people he felt had his back and just like all the prisoners Reiki knew that he should always avoid El Diablo and should never attract his attention everyone knew the story of El Diablo who although he was only 34

years old spent 20 of his life in prison even when he was a teenager and entered the juvenile prison when he was 13 years old he assaulted another teenager he beat him until he died he was a Savage from a young age after he turned 18 years old and got out of the juvenile prison he returned to the world of gangs and it did not take long until he was arrested again after he broke into an old woman's house assaulted her and killed her son who tried to defend her in front of her from that

day he was in prison for a life sentence this means that this Savage fully deserved his title the problem was that El Diablo was Moody and could even suddenly turn on his closest followers no one was safe with him and of course since he was the king in this place he always got what he wanted no matter what the situation was over the next 2 years reggy lived a relatively quiet life in this prison he stayed away from El Diablo and did not get into any problems or make enemies for himself four years passed and

things were calm during these four years regy directed a lot of his effort and energy to exercise and strengthen his body and muscles so he built himself a very good body his strength has greatly increased the emaciated teenager who entered this prison when he was 19 years old has become a 24-year-old young man with a strong muscular structure fortunately for him he focused on building his muscles and body during these past years because he will need all of his strength for the upcoming events over time El Diablo situation has become worse he became addicted to

alcohol and was always drunk and when violence and drunkenness are mixed they will give you a result worse than anything you can imagine even those closest to El Diablo have become afraid of him just one wrong look from one of them could make El Diablo hit him stab him or even rape him the situation of this Savage devil was becoming more and more crazy every day and although REI had succeeded in avoiding him for the past four years fate would bring him into direct confrontation with him in October of 2000 the prisoners were in the

outer yard and one of them took a pebble and threw it on the back of one of the guards the guards immediately ordered all the prisoners in the yard to lie down on the ground to search them during the search one one of the guards saw a handmade knife that the prisoners use thrown on the floor maybe one of the prisoners threw it before the search so that they would not discover that he had it the guards did not know that the knife belonged to El Diablo's cmate who was his closest assistant and most trusted

person the guard raised the knife and asked the prisoners who owns this knife none of the prisoners spoke a word although many of them knew who this knife was for because if any of them spoke it would be as if he had condemned himself to death and all of them knew that El diabloo was going to do something to protect his assistant and close friend at that moment El Diablo himself was lying on the ground with the other prisoners he raised his head and began to look around among the prisoners looking for someone whom he

could accuse by coincidence his eyes fell on regy regy who was performing a painting task in the outer yard because the prison Administration used to allow the prisoners to do manual maintenance work inside the prison so they assigned reggy the task of painting one of the walls of the prison's outer yard regy was lying on the ground like the rest of the prisoners with paintbrushes in his hand he felt the moment when the eyes of El Diablo fell on him and he knew that he was intending to do him bad El Diablo raised his hand

and pointed at RI and said to the guards this one this one one is the owner of the knife in the few seconds that followed reg's mind began to imagine the future and make his calculations if they added a weapon possession charge to his sentence this would not affect him because he was already sentenced to life nothing would be changed but the thing that would be affected is his status and reputation among the prisoners and as soon as he submits to the charge that El Diablo falsely imposed on him everyone will see him as a

weak person he would become a Target again and the remaining prisoners would consider him an easy prey and many of them would dare him at that moment regy knew that just as he had stood up to the giant prisoner who tried to attack him in the first week he must now stand up to Calipatria prison's devil as soon as the guards asked reggy about the knife his answer was no it's not mine it was just a short sentence and a few words but it would change his life forever and now reggy had officially become the

declared enemy in front of everyone for El Diablo everyone was shocked after this sentence came out of regg's mouth even the guards everyone was wondering how dare this crazy confronted El Diablo reggy did not face El Diablo after that but he knew the situation he was in he knew he had become El Diablo's enemy during the weeks that followed this incident regy was always in a state of alert he was expecting that El Diablo or one of his assistants might attack him at any moment even when he was sleeping on his bed at night he

was unable to sleep comfortably and every time he went out to the outside yard during his break he kept his eyes on El Diablo and his close assistants and tried to stay away from him as much as he could and tried to stay next to the guards or in a place where their eyes would be on him so that he would not be trapped by El Diablo and his group but a month later in November 2000 one day REI was walking in the outer yard and noticed that El Diablo was coming towards him he was

not even trying to surprise him or walk stealthily he was coming straight at him reggy didn't know what to do and El Diablo kept getting closer until he got in front of him and hold regg's shoulder with his left hand and stabbed his waist with the right it wasn't a fatal stab but it was a painful message a message that says that the days of regi in this prison are numbered as he pulled the knife from reggi he threw the knife in the grass and walked away regi put his hand on the place of the

stab as he was bleeding and none of the prisoners who saw what happened tried to help him they all looked away as if they didn't see anything even the guards none of them tried to intervene Reggie kept pressing on his wound to reduce the amount of blood that came out a quarter later the bell rang which indic IND ated the end of the break and all the prisoners had to go back to their cells but before they all lined up at the gate to be searched the guards searched them to check if they had weapons

or contrabands they were trying to smuggle to their cells it was a routine search that they always do after the break all the prisoners were lined up El Diablo was at the front and reggy was three or four prisoners away behind him regy was still pressing on his wound and trying to hide it from the guards but the wound was not the only thing that regy tried to hide he was also hiding his knife that he took from the outer yard he had buried a knife in a hole and hidden it carefully so he could

use it when he needed it a few minutes before leaving the yard he took out the knife and stood in line waiting for his turn in the search with the knife in his pocket El Diablo who was in the front of the search line arrived at the guard who started searching him from the front and then asked him to turn around so he could search him from the back when El Diablo turned his back to be searched he was looking at the prisoners who were standing behind him and REI was standing in the line among

them El Diablo was looking at him with contempt and a sarcastic smile while the guard was still searching suddenly reggy who was holding his wound got out of the line and quickly ran towards El Diablo raised his hand with which he was holding the knife and stabbed El Di blow in the throat everyone was frozen in place unable to believe what happened in front of their eyes El Diablo opened his eyes with a look of shock this look of shock quickly turned into a look of pain and his huge body retreated the knife came out

of his throat and with his hands he was trying to stop the bleeding by holding his neck but the problem was that he was suffocating and unable to breathe everything happened in a few seconds during which LD Diablo fell on the ground writhing in pain and before the guards could move or do any reaction regy laid down on the ground and put his hands above his head in a clear sign of surrender saying and shouting I know what I did I know what I did trying to prove to the guards that he wouldn't expose others

lives to danger and that his only target was El Diablo REI was arrested immediately by the guards and put in solitary confinement the whole prison was in a state of alert that night El Diablo death could lead to a huge mess in the prison so all prisoners were locked up in their cells and forbidden from leaving for any reason Reggie now faces his second murder crime which means that if he was tried there was a high probability that he would be executed and there was not almost any chance for R to avoid being convicted of

this crime everyone saw what happened and he admitted it the only thing thing that could save him was to say that he committed this crime in defense of himself and this was relatively true but even if he succeeded in convincing the judge that this was in defense of himself and even if he was able to avoid being sentenced to death he would be sentenced to at least 10 years in solitary confinement regy was very pessimist to the point that he was seeing the future ahead Dark even when they presented him with a list of lawyers

who were appointed by the state and who could repres present him for free in court he didn't think much about the matter and chose any lawyer from the list randomly because he thought that in the end the result would be the same but his belief was very wrong the random lawyer he chose Christopher blort would do something he was not even dreaming of this lawyer Christopher would discover something that would change everything everything had started when he began to delve into the files of the original case because of which regy was imprisoned the murder case

that took place in 1994 in front of ab brothel the victim in this was a 29-year-old man named Philipe Gonzalez when two police officers arrived at the crime scene they were a male and a female officer these two officers were able to find the manager of that brothel whose name was Jon Jones and they arrested him for questioning because brothel are illegal Jon Jones became the main witness in the case and according to his words he sought everything that happened that night from the second floor of the brothel the victim Philipe Gonzalez came to the

brole stopped his car got off and knocked on the door of the brole he asked to meet a certain person but they told him that the person he was looking for was not there after that Philip returned to his car and suddenly three armed teenagers approached him it was clear from their appearance that they were members of a gang and they asked him to give them money but Philip Gonzalez did not speak in English he did not understand them suddenly these three teenagers shot him dead and they ran away through one of the alleys Jon

Jones said that he noticed one of these teenagers limping while they were running away so he assumed that he was shot during the attack either by one of his friends or maybe he shot himself by accident the police officer who was responsible for this case this was her first crime case so she began to look for criminals that were arrested for other cases in the same area where the crime took place one of these criminals was REI Reggie was 19 years old at the time and as it was mentioned before he was working with a

gang selling weed and on top of that he was shot in the leg he was in accordance with the descriptions that John described of the teenagers who killed phelipe Gonzalez based on this reggy was accused of murder and he was sentenced at and imprisoned as the lawyer delved into the files of this case he found many things that would take away the accusation of R imagine that it took him 3 years to prove that reggy had nothing to do with this crime the crime based on which he was sent to prison and the lawyer proved

with scientific evidence that phelip Gonzalez the victim who was killed was shot from a high place because the angle of Entry of the bullets into his body was as if they were coming from above this means that it is impossible for the person who shot him to have been standing at the same level as the street where he was shot the shot came from one of the neighboring houses from an upper floor it could be from the window of the brothel manager John who claimed that he saw the teenagers shooting Philipe Gonzalez which means maybe

JN is the killer moreover there were no fingerprints or DNA of the crime scene or Witnesses indicating that regy was the criminal even John the manager of the brle later retracted his testimony and said that he told the police what they wanted to hear in exchange for letting him run the brle that are illegal in America but the biggest thing of all this evidence and what the lawyer discovered is that the wound on reg's leg for which he was accused was a bullet wound but it was an old wound reggy was hit by the bullet

when he was 13 years old meaning 5 years ago before the crime he was accused of and it is certain that when the police saw this wound they knew that it was an old wound and that reggy was not even limping but it was clear that this police officer who was responsible for this case wanted to close it quickly as we said this was her first crime case so she wanted to register a victory in her record as soon as possible she saw that this poor reggy was a gang member so she simply accused him

although regie kept telling them that he was innocent for a long time eventually he was convicted of it after reggy had been imprisoned he spent a long time in the prison Library looking up the law books about the false charges even during the prison period reggy was trying to get away from violence and problems but the problems were coming after him he was forced to defend himself and try to survive in this environment in which he was accused of a crime he didn't commit imagine that the lawyer had been working on this case for 3

years during these years regy was in solitary confinement after he had killed El Diablo and then the lawyer took the case to court again finally the judge ruled that reggy was innocent of the first crime of which he was accused as for the murder of El Diablo they reduced the charges from the crime of first-degree murder to the crime of second deegree murder and they sentenced reggy to 10 years in solitary confinement in connection with El Diablo murder this case took a long time and by the time the sentence was ruled reggy had already spent

eight years in solitary confinement and these eight years were counted within the sentence so he had only 2 years left to get released after reggy had completed the last two years of his sentence he finally got out of prison in 2009 after spending 16 years in prison 10 of them were in solitary confinement and although he went through hard times but he was happy with his freedom after being released regy entered a long judicial battle to regain his rights and finally in 2017 Los Angeles paid recky a compensation of 5.2 million of course these millions

will not compensate him for what he went through while imprisoned but at least it will make him live a comfortable life for the rest of his life financially speaking we have come to the end of our story don't forget to like And subscribe thank you for watching see you in the next video goodbye
