Doing Time In A Turkish Prison

Doing Time In A Turkish Prison

QIC: Starfish

Date: 5/2/2026

PAX: Subfloor (WB), Headhunter, Spicoli, Boo-Boo, Starfish (QIC), Drip, Ziggy Stardust (WD)

As is widely known, YHC has a tendency to focus more on the accompanying playlist than the actual content of the beatdown.  Today, we tried to focus on both the music and the physical activity and oriented both towards a focus on prison life since we were out at Alcatraz.  Knowing what was coming in the main event, YHC decided to skip the Supermax Murph.  @Headhunter was the only holdover from the early morning group which also included @VanGogh, @Atrophy and allegedly @Ziffel.  YHC did hear @Headhunter questioning that life choice as we were about midway through the main event beatdown.  We were eventually joined by 5 other pax who were curious about what life in a Turkish prison is like…

@Subfloor and YHC spent most of the time this morning verbally completing the venn diagram of his previously aired prison playlist and YHC’s.  Of the 18 songs in YHC’s playlist, more than half of them overlapped with @Subfloor’s previous attempt.  Speaking of the playlist, here’s YHC’s:

• In The Jailhouse Now (The Soggy Bottom Boys, Tim Blake Nelson)
• I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow (The Soggy Bottom Boys, Dan Tyminski)
• Prison Song (System Of A Down)
• Folsom Prison Blues (Johnny Cash)
• My Own Prison (Creed)
• Prison Bound (Social Distortion)
• Prisoner (311)
• Prisoner of Love (James Brown)
• Prison Grove (Warren Zevon)
• Back on the Chain Gang (Pretenders)
• Chain Gang (Sam Cooke)
• Jailbreak (Thin Lizzy)
• Jailhouse Rock (Elvis Presley)
• Jailhouse (Sublime)
• Locked Up (Akon)
• Locked Up (The Avett Brothers)
• Locked Out Of Heaven (Bruno Mars)
• Prison Song (Graham Nash)

Can you guess which tracks overlapped with @Subfloor’s playlist?

@Headhunter made the mistake of trying to monitor how much time/how many rounds we had left during the Prison Cell work.  #JustDoTheTime #DontWatchTheClock

@BooBoo and @Drip paired off and were good cellmates.  The both seemed very happy to be there.  @Spicoli wisely counseled @Drip to omaha over to SSH during Fast Feet.  #BlurryVision #DepthPerception

@Ziggy was the wise #WarDaddy this morning and showed all the new prisoners exactly how to keep their heads down and just do the time.

It was a solid group out west this morning.  Thanks for the invite, Warden (@Subfloor) and thanks for the honor and privilege of leading this morning.

Your friend and fellow inmate,

Starfish
