Prison Sports: PA Prison Basketball Legend (GenPop x Gully TV)

On a special episode of GenPop, Laz is joined by Gully of the successful Gully TV podcast/web series. Gully details how he used basketball during his time in prison to carve out a relatively comfortable niche, in as much as possible for the environment. Despite being one of the youngest inmates on a tough compound, Gully used his newfound ability to dunk to earn everyone's respect. In Gully's words "even the cops like alley-oops." Laz & Gully also discuss how sports help keep people out of trouble in prison, how older inmates aren't always predatory; in fact, they're often mentors. Many people incarcerated could have used sports as an escape & avoided being incarcerated altogether. Gully also details how being on a traveling squad earned him a reputation as a skilled player, literally becoming legendary before his release.
