Former high-ranking Finks bikie Adam Smith opens up about moment that 'broke' him in Goulburn's Super Max
'You lose all concept of time,' recalls former high-ranking bikie Adam Smith, who found himself locked up in Goulburn Correctional Centre's infamous Super Max facility while awaiting trial for grievous bodily harm with intent, various drug charges and intimidation. 'From when I got in there, I was locked in for 14 days without them opening up the cage just to get a bit of air. No book, no pen, no paper, nothing.' Smith told ex-homicide detective Gary Jubelin in this week's episode of his podcast I Catch Killers that as soon as he entered prison there were politics at play that impacted his ability to stay safe inside. 'It's a fight for survival,' he says. 'One of the boys there was trying to cause big dramas,' he explains, referencing the fact that if you enter prison as a member of a gang, you are essentially beholden to that gang's alliances and enemies inside. 'I knew there was an issue straight away.' 'Is it fair to say that you have to align yourself with your crew, no matter what?' asks Jubelin, 'you came in as a Fink [OMCG member] so you needed to stick with them.' 'Yeah,' Smith agrees. 'It's a jungle, and it's a very, very volatile area. And to resolve things, sometimes you have to escalate things strategically.' It was as a result of one of these 'strategic escalations' that Smith found himself in Super Max - the maximum security area of the correctional facility. 'From my memory, it was circular, and from behind perspex screens, I remember seeing Ivan Milat strutting his stuff, patrolling like a caged animal, just staring at things and going back,' recalls Jubelin, who has experienced his fair share of visits to the prison in his role as a homicide detective. '[There were] terrorists, gang members, all sorts of people. It's sort of a graduation school from prison. If the rest of the prison system doesn't handle you, then you end up in Super Max.' Smith says his first few weeks of life in Super Max 'broke him'. 'They stripped me down naked, and came and gave me a pair of underpants, a pair of track pants, a pair of socks, a shirt and a jumper,' he recalls. 'I didn't even have shoes. When you go to any jail, you get issued greens. I go in there and I expect to get more greens. Anyways, nothing comes. I get given one blanket, a sheet. I had no pillow and one towel. The room was mouldy. [It was] just really dirty, old, dingy - you wouldn't put your dog in there - and I kept asking for an explanation for why I was there, because I was there without charge, nothing, not even an explanation. I didn't get one for three months.' Smith says his experience brought his mental health to an all-time low. 'At that point, if I had something to kill myself with, I probably would have, because I just didn't know what was going on,' he reveals. And it wasn't just the isolation. According to Smith, getting through the day without being seriously injured in the yard became a mission in itself. 'I'd never usually take a knife to a fight,' he says. 'I'll hold my hands up any day of the week - I don't need a knife to do it. But what are you supposed to do when someone else has got one, and if you go out into the yard you're gonna get stabbed?' Smith claims knives and improvised weapons are rife in the prison yard. 'I'm not just talking about a knife,' he says, 'Goulburn was falling apart - they were walking around with samurai swords.' He says inmates were quick to rid themselves of them any time police or guards were nearby so as not to be discovered with them in their possession. 'You should hear the sounds hitting the floor when the squad runs into the yard in Goulburn - it's like change hitting the ground, the sound of all the blades being dropped.' 'People got magazines around their stomachs [for protection],' he continues. 'It's a jungle, you know? And it's a fight for survival every day.' 'Our grandfathers would be rolling over in their graves watching us Aussies conduct ourselves in prison.' In total, Smith spent four months of his six-year sentence in Super Max, before being released. Now, he says he's left the life of crime behind him, but bears the mental scars of his time behind bars. 'I don't sleep properly,' he says, 'I suffer from night terrors. But now, when I wake up, they go away. In Super Max, it was just night terror after night terror. You've got no window, no way of telling what time it is.' Smith says that over time, he'd learn to call out to other inmates for support in his darkest moments, saying the inmates built a sort of support community amongst themselves. 'If it wasn't for the support of the boys down there that have been through it, I think most of the boys would break down there.'

Teenager in custody after three people shot and wounded in New York City's Times Square
Three people have been shot and wounded in an early morning incident in New York City's Times Square, the New York Police Department says. The people — an 18-year-old woman, a 19-year-old man, and a 65-year-old man — are in a stable condition in hospital, an NYPD spokesperson said. A 17-year-old boy is in custody, the police department added, and officers had recovered a firearm from the scene. The shooting took place at around 1:20am local time, and followed a "verbal altercation" between the alleged shooter and one of the victims, the NYPD said. It is not yet known whether the shooter or any of the victims knew each other. Mass shootings are relatively common in the United States, where guns are widely available. The incident at one of New York's most iconic tourist spots comes after another high-profile shooting in a Manhattan office tower last month, which left four people dead including a senior Blackstone executive and an NYPD officer. New York experienced record-low shooting incidents and victims in the first seven months of this year, as well as in July, according to a statement published by the city's police department on August 4. Crime is a key electoral issue for America's largest city, which is set to hold mayoral elections in November. Reuters
