As someone who has spent 12 years locked up—much of it in isolation—I’ve experienced firsthand how the system encourages people to turn on one another, using snitching as a tool to keep us divided and powerless. The prison system, like the streets, thrives on betrayal. And my book is a direct response to this reality, exposing how snitch culture is weaponized both inside and outside of prison walls.
Snitch Culture: A Tool of Division
One of the core themes of "Our Enemies Will Never Be Our Friends" is the systemic use of snitch culture to divide people. Whether it’s in the streets, in prison, or in everyday life, the system uses betrayal as a way to break down loyalty and destroy trust. Law enforcement, in particular, exploits snitching as a way to weaken communities—pitting people against each other, using informants to infiltrate and break down tight-knit groups, and ultimately ensuring that we remain divided and easy to control.
The truth is, snitching isn’t just a betrayal of a single person—it’s a betrayal of an entire community. When someone snitches, they’re not just turning on one person; they’re helping to break down the trust and solidarity that keeps a group strong. My book dives deep into this idea, showing how snitch culture has evolved and why it’s more dangerous than ever in today’s society.
The System's Strategy: Divide and Conquer
Throughout "Our Enemies Will Never Be Our Friends," I explore how the system uses snitch culture as part of a broader strategy of divide and conquer. By encouraging people to turn on one another, the system weakens entire communities. In the streets, loyalty is everything. But when people start snitching, that loyalty is destroyed, and the bonds that hold a group together unravel.
In the book, I provide real-life examples from both inside prison walls and from the streets, showing how law enforcement uses informants and snitches to create division. I share the stories of how four separate lockdowns and betrayals led to my own time in isolation, illustrating just how deep the system goes in its quest to keep us divided. But it’s not just a prison problem—it’s happening in every community, on every block, and in every circle where loyalty is supposed to matter.
Standing Strong Against Betrayal
While "Our Enemies Will Never Be Our Friends" is about exposing snitch culture and systemic betrayal, it’s also about how to resist it. In the book, I emphasize the importance of standing firm in your loyalty to those you trust and care about, and never letting the system pit you against your own people.
One of the key messages of the book is that "your friend's enemy is your enemy." This simple principle goes beyond just the streets—it’s a code of loyalty that can be applied to any situation where people try to divide you from those who are loyal to you. I argue that the only way to resist the system’s efforts to weaken us is to stay loyal to each other and refuse to turn on our own, no matter the pressure.
Real-Life Tactics to Resist Snitching
In the book, I also provide real, actionable strategies for resisting snitch culture. Whether it’s dealing with the pressure from police interrogations, handling personal betrayals, or standing firm when someone tries to push you into snitching, "Our Enemies Will Never Be Our Friends" offers tactics that anyone can use to stay loyal, even in the face of overwhelming pressure.
These tactics are drawn from my own experiences in prison and from stories of those who have refused to snitch, even when it meant facing harsher sentences or more time in isolation. Resisting snitch culture isn’t easy—but it’s necessary if we’re going to reclaim our power and our communities. My book is a roadmap for how to do just that.
The Final Message: Loyalty is Power
At the heart of "Our Enemies Will Never Be Our Friends" is one central idea: loyalty is power. The system thrives when we betray one another, but if we stand strong in our loyalty to each other, we can resist the forces that try to divide us. The book is a call to action for anyone who values loyalty, trust, and strength in the face of betrayal.
It’s time we stop letting snitches and informants tear us apart. It’s time we recognize that the system’s enemies are our enemies too, and the only way we can win is by standing together. "Our Enemies Will Never Be Our Friends" is more than just a book—it’s a movement for everyone who believes in loyalty, unity, and resistance to snitch culture.
