Tier Talk is a show about California Prison living and on this episode we have Damien "Tiny Cisco" Doster from the Avalon Gardens projects, Porky from Village Town Piru in Compton and Brian from the Bay Area city, Pittsburg.

This episode by Alex Alonso of StreetTV, is an in-depth conversation featuring three individuals currently incarcerated in the California Department of Corrections: Porky, T.C., and Brian. The discussion is notable for its raw look at life inside the California prison system, particularly during a time of significant transition in prison culture. Here are the key themes and takeaways from the conversation:

A major portion of the talk focuses on how prison life has changed over the decades. The men discuss the shift from a strictly regulated, "old school" convict code to the current environment. They express concerns that the younger generation lacks the same discipline and respect for the established rules that once governed racial groups and internal politics.

The participants discuss the Agreement to End Hostilities, a landmark document among California prisoners intended to stop racial violence. They talk about the challenges of maintaining peace and the effort required to educate younger inmates who enter the system with "street" mentalities that don't always translate well to the "convict" code.

Each man reflects on their personal journey.

1. Porky and T.C. discuss the process of aging behind bars and the realization that the lifestyle they once promoted led to a dead end.
2. They emphasize the importance of self-rehabilitation, noting that while the system offers programs, the internal will to change is the most important factor.

There is a heavy focus on the consequences of gang involvement. They discuss how the "neighborhood" loyalties that landed them in prison often disappear once the cell door closes, leaving individuals to face decades of confinement alone. They use the platform to warn younger viewers against following the same path.

The men discuss the reality of serving "Life" sentences and the psychological toll of not knowing if or when they will ever be released. They touch on the recent changes in California law (such as SB 1437 or youth offender laws) that have provided some hope for "lifers," but emphasize that one must truly prove they have changed to benefit from these laws.
