An unidentified man at a Municipal Court of Providence proceeding said he would not return to prison and described decades of incarceration, while a court participant announced a $150 charge and said a third-party check would be used to pay it.

“I’m not going back to prison,” the man said, later adding that he had been in prison “over 37 years of my life.” He identified his longest term as federal custody, saying he served about 30 years for a bank robbery and also described time in state prison.

The man said he had been released two years earlier and that an employer in the produce business had given him a job. He also recounted past criminal activity, saying he once kept “a half $1,000,000 in my fridge bag” and later estimating one take at “4 or 500,000.” He told others in the hearing that the film The Town "is about me" and that actor Ben Affleck "plays me in the movie."

During questioning, another participant acknowledged the man’s turnaround and announced a monetary charge. “So I’m gonna charge you a 150 and what I’m gonna do is I’m gonna use a $150 check from Chuck Shaheen,” Speaker 2 said. The man thanked the participant and received well-wishes before the exchange ended.

The proceeding recorded in the transcript contains no identification of participants by name or official title beyond the voices captured on the audio. The court-related action in the transcript consists of the $150 charge and the stated source of payment; no other formal penalties or procedural orders are recorded in the available excerpt.

The transcript also records inconsistent figures about the length of incarceration (the speaker alternately refers to 30, 31 and 37 years), which the speaker raised within the hearing. Details about the underlying case, the legal basis for the $150 charge, and whether the charge resolves any outstanding matter were not specified in the excerpt.
