Jesus Christ, I wouldn't last 2 minutes in there.
Nilguiri that's two mins more than me!!
You're right, two minutes would be pretty optimistic!
😂😂😂
Ctfu 😂😂
Where are all the keyboard warriors calling him a pussy saying that’s shits morning cake?
Even the staff are laughing about it, what chance has a vulnerable inmate got ...
None
yeah.. Indeed sad that even staff had a laugh about it
That's why prisons in the US don't rehabilitate people. Look who the guards are -- some of them talk and act like criminals themselves.
If your weak in jail your going to suffer, or get strong. It happens once a man decides he is tired of being picked on, he will defend his self or become vicious. Some guys got good heart and would protect the weak. To me your weak if you prey on the weak. Every dog has his day, that guy going to end up on the wrong end of a shank. I hate bullies. He really think it's cool. That's some sucker shit.
Exsacly
Pip Pipster nah because you know a inanimate isn’t a snitch
Rampage Jackson and Ariel helwani have really gone off the rails
Idk what you talking about their bromance is still strong
😂😂
Literally came here from a video of those two lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
100%
When inmates are openly talking in front of the guards AND on TV about how they extort and abuse weaker prisoners, then surely that's a sign that the prison system needs urgent reforms.
But what can you do? There's hundreds if not thousands of inmates in these prisons, how can you possibly keep track of what's happening at all times, esp after lights out? Only way would be to snitch and being a snitch is a legitimate death sentence. You put all these violent criminals in one place of course it's gonna turn out like this. I honestly don't know what you can do to reform prisons, the best you can do is not commit crimes and end up going there
@@forman208 Perhaps don't put so many people in the same prison, or don't put petty criminals in the same place as the dangerous ones. This shit doesn't happen in every prison, there are reasons why it happens there.
@@forman208 I've got no agree with you
I've spent 7 years in prisons. You don't get sent to a specific prison because you're a basically decent non violent guy. They put you where there is room. None of my crimes involved violence but I spent time in some of the most violent prisons in the country. That's the punishment the actual prison regime is just endless boredom but you can just wait that out even enjoy the rest treat it like a health spa get fit loose weight cut down smoking no alcohol exercise everyday. It's the other prisoners who make time inside a nightmare. But hey: no one said it would be easy
@@forman208 Send fewer nonviolent people into jail in the first place. Put them into different kinds of treatment programs instead. The REAL problem in America is that there are just too many people being put into jail in the first place. The U.S. has a small portion of the world's population, but has an ENORMOUS prison population. It's quite ridiculous.
@@forman208 You could start by not having so many laws that makes so many criminals and so on. Do you know what i mean?
Louis has this amazing ability to make people feel stupid by just asking simple questions like "why did you do that?".
humm the guy asking questions is actually the one stupid in this video
osmoze47300 how?
asking to an inmate why he use violence ? ... what a smart guy lol
osmoze47300 Louis knows the answer to why he used violence. This is just his interview style. He sorta dumbs himself down to get people to open up to him.
Nate Davis like when the inmate with the beard and picked up hair revels add some of his general worldview on violence, how he settles things with his fists and how that's perfectly normal according to him
Sad to think this dude was once an innocent little kid just like everyone else
please tell me youre not blaming someone else for this monsters outcome
Keep voting democrat and studying your sociology, you pathetic tool.
MrAmericanbeauty how did you get that from his statement ???
I mean it's a fact that there are people that are definitely born psychotic or sociopathic and harm others from the get go. Not everybody is innocent from childhood unfortunately
13/F/KAYLA u don’t make sense how did u even come up with that from his statement u
That last bit was very impactful. "Game ain't based on sympathy". This whole time I'm wondering how a person could have no remorse and in fact take pride in extortion and attempted murder, but that last line shows how he is only playing by the rules of this game. This environment is "survival of the fittest" in the truest sense; more than it does anywhere else in human society.
it landed him in jail he aint figure out shit
In prison you can go about your way for the most part depending on the security level if you’re not gang affiliated but also not a bitch. But end of the day you’re still going to have to fight and come to terms with no sympathy. The guards aren’t gonna protect you. If you know someone’s coming to kill you and there’s nobody to call for help what are you to do but fall back on survival instincts? That fear and self preservation can make a regular man stab the shit out of another, bash his head in, throw boiling oil in their face etc. it’s a dark place full of on edge people trying to survive.
That’s my Pops🤦🏾♂️ Errol Daniels
@@PlutoTheGod The epitome of nothing left to lose. As he said, he's already in that cell and everything is already on his chart so he has no reason to care about being filmed and allowing the guards to hear what he's saying.
Probably had no remorse to begin with. Prison is filled with remorseless ppl
US jails make jails over here in the UK look like a playground damn
defo we think our jails are over populated but those mega jails in the US are a madness
check out some south american ones
Us kails are nothing compared to most other places though
Lot of talk in US jails. Don't be fooled. I've done time in Cat B in Liverpool and it's just as dangerous.
UK is an actual civilised society though
The scariest part of this for me is how the gaurds are giggling and laughing.
To be honest, and this is just my opinion....I really don’t think they were laughing because they think extortion is funny...I think they were laughing because he was just so damn open about what he does...and also the way he said it...”within a heartbeat” I mean I think anyone that has humor would’ve laughed a little too when he said a lotta shit he said....look, I’m not justifying extortion or prison in anyway lol iv never been nor will I if I can help it, but...if u land yourself in there you gone have to fight...and if u don’t fight and u check in that’s funny by itself...I’m sorry but it is...I might not have been to prison but the worse high school is like a mini jail the way kids be bullyin and roastin tfff outta kids so hard they wanna kill themselves...that’s just a miniature version of prison...swap the teachers out for guards...swap recess with yard time and swap lunch time for chow...when I was in high school there were teachers that would laugh and smirk or giggle under they breath at something that someone said that was funny...and that’s the same thing the guards are doing...I’m not saying it’s right because it’s wrong as 2 left shoes...but like my pops tells me all the time...who said anything about the world being right?...a lot of shit is WRONG...but u can’t change another human being if they don’t want to change...
Guards not worried about the weak, they worried about spreading them cheeks
No guard is gonna risk there life against big crazy gang bang murderers
Human nature to be desensitized to that culture after being around it all the time
@slip satch No, but only because they are human and fallible like the rest of us. What I am surprised by is how the institutions allow such behavior. If it's on you tube, that means they are likely fully aware of what's going on.
he seems like a lovely chap!
My thoughts exactly! I'm betting if a "stray" bullet found his skull none of the taxpayers in his state would cry.
Beth Bollig got to respect his #Lifestyle
Had a Tea Party with him on a summer's day. Delightful fellow.
Beth, That's addition by subtraction for sure!
I think it's slang for MORON, Tom
this guy looks like he’s been taking lunch money for a decade
You hit the nail on the head with that one XD
PunkFuckUp loool
His whole damn life, you mean.
Detto
LOL
Not every violent maniac is locked up. Plenty of those folks are among us, just barely holding it together.
If you're ever about to do something stupid, remember THIS is where you'll end up.
Well said!!!
👏👏
You end up their if your poor and have no lawyer
When you go through a childhood of pain, of your father leaving you, your mother dying when you're young, being left alone to survive, you really can't tell the difference. That's how the craziest criminals are born, by living their childhoods in pain you can't even imagine
Like what throwing up allover the toilet not nice at all then avoid your family til you feel slightly better
They send young dope-heads into there to be crucified by murderers. That's pure evil.
They have different sections of the prison these days, usually you'll be in a pod or section with similar offenders, but that doesn't mean shit still can't go down, it's just like the streets though anything can happen anywhere you are
Max security? Uhm...
That's the land of the free for ya.
That's America in a nutshell: Zero empathy, cruel, primitive and barbaric.
@@LLl-bo2nw Like the streets in the US, you mean. Where I live, the streets are safe.
I love how he thinks he's Mr big, but at the end of the day he's grounded like a naughty teenager while I'm out here living my free life. Don't ask me for respect tough guy.
Say it to his face bra
@@rodrickharden4559 why would he go to prison to tell him to tell him he dont respect him ?
@@asawhite6817 it just makes no sense to get on CZcams and start internet banging that just weird to me only cornball do that
@@rodrickharden4559 but , it's you that started it lool
You got insecure and found a reason to feel better about yourself. Dont do that, always blieve and love yourself no matter what
Next time I go in for a job interview, I'm gonna say "The name of the Game is GABOS..."
🤣😂
😂😂😂
I've already added "2021 - G.A.B.O.S" to the training section of my CV.
That’s well funny 😂
🤣🤣🤣
This man is at his place
oh yehh.
thats where the evil belongs, pits ...
He kinda cute doe
Remember this saying there is always somebody bigger and tougher than you are
He get out in July weirdos
disgusting to see the staff laugh
Joe S America is screwed up
She's shaking her head as she does. I laughed too because of his brazenness and complete lack of hesitancy, but it doesn't mean I wasn't also disgusted by his open shameless evil.
I agree, it seemed that way to me too.
thats how jail is bro its jail you have lost your rights so why should you be givin any ive been in that slammer thats how it is its a system
you have a body language interpretation skill of a 6 year old kid
Louis could literally just stand away from the bars and insult his gang all day.
0:54 I burst out laughing everytime, Louis’ tone his genuine concern and curiosity 😂 its almost like trolling
Almost?
He is trolling
"He bad-mouthed your .. gang? " 😂😂😂
@@BostonBlues gets me every time 😂😂😂😂
he knows how to speak to these people to get sincere responses i dont know if its real or its an act on Louis's part but hes a great interviewer
He'x exactly where he needs to be
Thats what society does they take these guys send them off to the pen and throw away the key. Nobody cares what they do once their in there.
Louis "so your saying he bad mouthed your gang" 😂
Lol
I think he purposely talks the way he does because he knows that’s his thing that makes him “entertaining” I guess thats the word I’ll use...but he talks like that for a reason though...I bet a million he doesn’t talk in that tone and the way he is when he’s at home or with his family lol he’s hilarious asf though nonetheless 😭
@K.M. Smith Whoooosh
VeteranCape I agree
Lmaoooo that’s all I’m going to say 😂☝🏽
I feel that i have to send him money just by watching this
lol
😂
Ha,ha
I actually recognise the fellow behind bars. I studied moral philosophy with him at Trinity Hall, Cambridge. Charming chap but, like many, he was seduced by the dark powers of French relativism.
What?
😂😂😂😂
Ah yes I remember him too, think his name is Arthur Pennyworth if I recall correctly.
Great advert for higher education
Ha ha ha
Being from Miami I can assure a lot of the staff and inmates are from the same neighborhoods, some grew up together and many are even related. Not surprised by the officers laughing.
What’s a mawg in Florida?
@@Blank-km4qr mark*
@@YounginBallin what is it?
@@Blank-km4qr easy target
sad when this is what your existence comes to
Cam Par .. this is the life he has chosen.... Nobody put him there but himself.... Sad
Nothing like a little extortion to bring a few giggles to the prison.
It’s nothing compared to what goes on in there.
everyone around this guy, even including the guards, all promote and glorify his behavior and philosophy's. so its hard to imagine him changing when even the guards are smiling with his actions
He's probably extorting them as well.
Why the fuck would you be imagining him changing? Lmfao
Because [prison] should be a way to get people back in society. Just locking people up without improvement is too costly
I don't think they are smiling in approval, but rather smiling in understanding. The guards who work in that environment can realize how horrible the system is, and recognize that everyone is doing the best they can, but there isn't much they can do about things on a scale that means anything.
@@shreddykrueger3776 cause he is having sexual relations with the female correction officers?
GABOS: “When you got you a duck you put they foot on his neck, know what i’m saying?”
Louis: “Ermm”
Lost soul within a deep dark sunken place.
This is a perfect example of a ”human” that can not be out in society, never.
This is harsh but this guy and people like him should be executed. A murder can be forgiven like 40 years later but if someone murders 2 people they should be shot in the head and burnt.
cherb23 Yeah, in the old days that would be exactly how those murderers would end up.
That guy is a product of your society bud
Citrus Blast Put him out of his misery.
@@citrusblast4372 our?
The staff is not there to keep the inmates from killing eachother, they are there to keep them away from people who arent in jail.
awesome series. I love hearing from the prisoners. A lot of these prison shows have facts and show the cops more, but this style is way better
I think male staff for male prisons and female staff for female prisons
SUPREME women are better dealing with men overall
YEZA PREDRUXZEN Did you just disagree with your own statement?
don't be so sexist
camelpissflavour not really sexist...its just safer for the female workers to be away from male inmates
dont even give them pussy to look at
Some people on these docs seem a little slow or confused and caught up with the environment they're in but this guy seems like he's smart and understands everything he's doing.
he’s prolly about as smart as you are
Why you think he is so dangerous , this dude was probably born into this life people like him thrive in prison they are 100% predators , smart comes in many forms this dude is prison smart him killing that other prisoner was smart from his perspective as all it does is boost his image and as a result less people will try fuck with him when he fucks with them . He is the quintessential "real nigga" the type of person we wish we could but glad we are not at the same time
@@Rafaelleao1977 Because he don't care, he don't even care you gonna check in on him you best be ready for this rough country etc. Seriously though, he seems bright, but also clearly has something wrong up there, the eyes are missing something. Probably a capacity for empathy.
He's not very smart. He thinks evil is the way. He will see that he is wrong.
@@Rat-mk6fk no he doesn't lol, "game aint based on sympathy" as in "its survival of the fittest here, weak die"
What a lovely man, his mother must be very proud.
This experience change Louis so much that he now has ", G.A.B.O.S " tattooed on his neck
Mike Fantasia And he joined the bloods
What is gabos?
Blind Jesus You clearly didn’t watch the whole video
@@AA-vm3tw a vegetable
@@det3135 yes o knew later
Anyone else feel like they would be the one this guy extorts lol
Lol, well I guess I would because I do have empathy and sympathy for people, and if I saw someone who was small and weak being extorted, I would sympathise and my natural instinct would be to feel sorry for and want to help him. So therefore I would probably end up getting ganged up on and become prey as well. I guess the trick would be to be a good actor and pretend you don't care. This kinda shows you why some people affiliate themselves with a gang in prison, to protect themselves from that happening to them.
Kill or be killed
nah
Usually come down to sticking with your race if general pop
Lol
The warden laughed when this man said he preys on the weak. Madness
Dude looks like Marshawn Lynch evil twin brother lol
Some of these guys you see in jail are fake hard but this guy is a straight savage
ow hb Dead serious...
Yeah his eyes tell the truth
You don't know the definition of savage.
ow hb nobody in jail fake savage you mean rappers you dork
Larry Hicks rappers be faking all the time. Just exploiting the lifestyle that cost so many lives and so many people locked away.
The guards laughing is the darkest thing ive ever seen. Its literally movie quality scary.
You laugh at evil people. What's wrong with that?
@@troywright359 They laughed with him...
@@whodatking26 they laughing at him. They going home to warm bed.
Its all smiles till a bigger, badder and tougher inmate comes along.
"Someone badmouthed my gang", these people never developed mentally passed eight years old, sad.
so he stabs them 7 times potentially causing organ trauma the rest of there lives....
Can't understand anyone over 8years old being that concerned about their "gang" but this IS America
And then he yells "GABOS" with such ... pride! 😢 the po'thang pray for em! 🙏
most adults still have that mentality
JUST LISTENING TO THAT MAN GAVE ME THE CHILLS I CAN'T IMAGINE BEING FACE TO FACE WITH HIM MOMMA SEND HIM SOME MONEY PLEASE
Richie F he good pooh mind yo business
he seems like a genuine guy...
stabs a guy because he didnt show him respect, reason he is in jail is because he doesnt respect society
perfect line
I don't think it was because he didn't show him respect. More likely there were tensions between his and the other guys gang and he attacked him.
Respect comes before everything . Get that
fuck society
Because society doesn't respect him* you meant to say.
Some day, you'll understand that not everyone has life served on the plate. You'll understand terms such as natural selection and survival of the fittest.
Food for thought; What's the difference between Jeff Bezos and Adolf Hitler? Jeff pays the prisoners.
Well nice to see someone living a full happy life
he in general pop tellin lol
Marshawn Lynch stabbed a Duck
Nope he had beef with some gang that was running that dorm.
Indifferent to the pain he causes others and proud of it. This is why we need prisons.
realest interview i ever seen.
The guard is so damn pretty😍
Nur La grande we’ll go see her
Is she BLAsian?
Haha I came to the comments to see if I was the only one who thought so. I guess now.
then your a S.I.M.P
Those guards usually sleep with these inmates
As you get older the fun wears off and regret kicks in.
He taking that guard down that was giggling 😂
Makes me laugh how Louis asks the most basic straight forward questions and people just don't understand what he's really even saying
I would not want to be locked up with him
Lol 😂 truth.
PC Kiddo.
He would have you washing his underwear in the sink.
Abrupt OG captain obvious don't traumatize his mental thoughts.
Fire Thief this is the video to show kids to scare them straight. this dude is a straight killer and he is hunting for weak prey.
amazing how the guards found it funny that he extorts weak inmates
slenjamiah ... That's the way that world works....it would be stranger if it didn't happen
the realised how ridiculous what he was saying was.... there's no way you can be that dense mate
Rae excuse me ?
Ridiculous? Extortion goes on everyday in prison.
They all fucking him
Why do they have ice picks in jail, like I can understand that inmates will get a hold of all kinds of shit that's already. But it's Miami, what ice do they really need to pick.
For their cocktails which they have after dinner and before the cinema
@@jtsotherone HAHAHAHA
It's slang for a type of knife with no cutting edge, just a rod of something with a sharp point
@@-Caine Yeah, 'ice pick' meaning a pick, a pointed tool like a sharpened screwdriver.
It's not an actual ice pick. It is a name given to a certain type of inmate produced weapon. Similar to a 'shank'.
I wish Louis had said "it's 'AN' ice pick"
The scariest guys don't play up for the cameras like this clown, it's such a pathetic waste of life
That prison guard is the living embodiment of the phrase "You're way too pretty for this job"
Only ugly people work in these jobs
That is one hot prison guard 🔥
My favorite documentary of all time. Shits great.
This interview should be shown to kids at school
to what’s waiting for them if they end up in prison
Even the guard can’t put a sentence together
What a thoroughly disagreeable fellow. Long may he remain incarcerated.
*GABOSE*
Guy has great teeth
“Screet altercations”
discreet altercation
He thinks he is tough.
But in reality he is sad sad human being
He might be tough, but he's certainly not happy
Well he had that female guard all giggling and shit thinking he was the man on some level.. but yea still sad I suppose
No, he's tough
@J.Mowbray you are quite correct, I wouldn't say it to his face. Doesn't change that fact his whole life is a waste of time and that's just sad
Idk he seems pretty tough to me 😂😂
Louis Theroux is a genius. Andrew Callaghan is the re-incarnation of Theroux. Can’t wait for the future for both of them.
Louis is still alive so that doesn't make much sense.
sadly this did not age well
I like how he do the interview.👍👍
Looks lovely. What are the reviews like on trip advisor?
so disturbing
I could never work in a prison. So depressing
Well that guy seemed nice😂 Good fella indeed!!
He said he probably in general population somewhere telling on somebody lmfaooooooooo
the staleness of time that this shit exudes reminds me of the 90s when i was a kid. but the deja vu feeling is weird being an adult now. it's strangely familiar even though i've never been through it. the contrast is so vast; going from being normal to having to become someone you're really not just to survive. it's interesting.
It's interesting how most Americans just take this all for granted..."That's how it is" and so forth. But this guy really brings the conscience of civilization to it and you can hear the connotation - "Hello, America...this isn't right. Why don't you try to fix this behavior and make things better?"
No way to undo all those years of slavery and segregation
It's not America's fault, it's the same in most prisons around the world. You should see some of the psychopaths in New Zealand Prisons, they are cold, calculating savages with no remorse or empathy. Not much can be done to change it, only thing would be to lock them in individual cells 24/7. But that is against human rights so they can't legally enforce it.
@@dannyboy768 was he slave and was he segregated in the 60s? No and no lol
Dude has that OG experience
Louis has really mastered the way he asks questions… it’s so simple yet done with such tact. True art form of speaking… well to me anyways.. I’m terrible at speaking 😅
The prison guards are kinda hot though
Ahhhh life’s accomplishments
Kudos to the smiling inmate
He must have an amazing life
I’m jealous
swap places then?
What a lovely chap!
The prison warder at the end seemed to find it amusing...what a lovely place
1:04 his eyes are dead
American jail is hard. it's like they don't ever want to get out. people go there then get out in a gang and have to do stuff. I never seem to see people getting there head down and being good to get out to go home.
They show the most violent inmates for entertainment purposes
Paul
It's a tv show. They try to make it seem hard.
The media doesn't care about normal, non-violent inmates.
bobo42024 its hard bruh. Aint no acting
Prison is like kindergarten but with deadly consequenses
The guards were diggin that cat
Im gonna drop my next fart in an envelope and mail it to bad boy so he can get a wiff of freedon. GABOS.
You saw how the guard laughed smh
What a pleasant young gentleman.
00:10 Haha. Those buff forearms I thought they had a whole cured ham hanging off the bars 😆
"Gabos" that dude was scary lol
What? Cuz he's black? U RACIST
👨🏿
PLOT TWIST: everyone's acting so ruthless cos they want to be left alone
This guys a real charmer
I’m gunna need a glossary.
This is the 2nd video you guys posted that i see the guards acting out of place.. Think we found a new topic.
People we all stay away from crime bec that place is not nice let's continue to be good people/ citizens
yes unless you get locked up for something petty or get framed
and who tf are you, Ghandi?
3:32
Hahaha from the prison guard.
I just came from the chicken shop date interview and damn. The question where she asked “who’s the most evil person you’ve met”
