The only bad thing is that kids are misdirected by stories of "Thug Life" being cool and the only way you get "respect" is by doing time and hurting people. What's really bad is that most if not all of these young people have no CLUE of what "respect" even means!!. To them, they confuse a tough guy reputation for respect. They really need to have a way to get into these kids psyche, and reteach them the meaning of Right and Wrong.
Well a lot of times it’s based on your priors who knows the guy probably had been arrested for robbery a few times and now possession solid case to prove they put him away
@@ryanduray1 is your mindset to let drug users peddle this to the community and the children ? go off on an lsd high and hurt someone ? how about instead of jail they tap him on the wrist and then send him on his way with a nice warm glass of milk ? this kind of thinking is bad for society. shame on you.
@@timmyshore3755 By your logic, we shouldn't be allowed to possess anything that could possibly lead to anything dangerous. Alcohol is perfectly legal, despite countless cases of people getting wasted and killing someone. Your argument is ridiculous.

I have to agree about the guy watching the clock all day in school. I don’t have a better system in mind but I do know that especially guys, some just aren’t mentally ready for school when we are required to be there. When I was I teen I couldn’t concentrate at all even the subjects like history that I now can’t get enough I just couldn’t do it at the time. If I could do it over again I’d had paid attention . If I could have done those same classes just a few years later I’d have done so much better. That being said, it’s not an excuse to be a criminal for sure. I had the same problems and I have never been arrested .

Louisiana sucks for incarceration. If you get Locked up here, be ready to sit in a parish prison in a "DOC Dorm" living like your in parish prison instead of a real DoC facility. Commisary sucks and ZERO programs. If you have a lengthy sentence youll goto a DoC facility but under 5, Parish.
@@caustic625 I know how to get out of those parish dorms....it's gonna cost you some good time,but you'll be able to get in enough programs to get your days back,plus some! Be as absolutely unmanageable as possible in the parish...fight, buck on all C.O.s ,don't work if you make trustee, just wild out!..make em ship you to Hunts,then wherever you head from there, then just chill and enjoy a little more freedom. Prisons always better than any Parish..even your 90 in the field,at least you get fresh air, and can hit the weight pile. Much better than rotting in the Parish! It works!
I’m a bit concerned abt the officer who keeps writing inmates up for crooked pillows etc. to me that’s not helping them to be better when they get out. I’m completely against prisons for profit… inmates are guaranteed long sentences and less likely to get paroled…
9:40 the guy said he saw the bars moving. Man do these guy’s need to be so hard threated? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying forget nor forgive. What is see is they need love, a lot of love man.
That's true but my Grandma's and my step Dad's tough love worked too. I was arrested a dozen or so times and it was when nobody wanted me that I realized I had to change to make them feel different. But yes in the end. We wanted to be loved by someone or another.
That was an extraordinarily poor choice of words! Had I been given the incredibly difficult job as the Warden in one of the strictest law-and-order States in the Country, I would have worded that very differently! Perhaps using the phrase: A good percentage of whom are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt." There are, *without question,* innocent men serving time. And that breaks my heart. :(
My brother did a few years here. And hunts. My uncle is in Angola. They just covered his case on a show…episode is called The Man With The Rabbits Foot

He won’t speak to anyone anymore. Pride is not something I would necessarily associate with my uncle however I do still care for him.He was very good to me and lived with us growing up .he used to bring me to school and taught me how to tie my shoes and lived with us at the time of the crime. My uncle’s case is very complicated. I won’t waste my time boring you with it or risk you shaking your head again. My sincere apologies.
You are in prison to be punished- where did these inmates get the idea that they have any freedom? - you gave that up when you committed a crime- the idea is to learn your lesson and never come back- you want to be free- don't commit crimes
The issue is finding a balance between punishment and rehab or prison becomes a revolving door and no one wins. That said, I do feel for those who committed a minor offense vs those who did a horrible crime.
@@woodynorris8224 Harriet Tubman broke the law, MLK broke the law, Jesus broke the law. Please do not brandish every prisoner as "bad". Louisiana is bible belt and inmates sometimes work on former plantations as modern day slaves.
35:33 😆🤦🏻♂️🙅🏻♂️.....That much commissary attracts the wrong kind of attention in my opinion!! Boy became a target and he don't even know it.......smh!!
Still amazes me that Robert had all of those charges and had the lightest sentence and best job out of everyone else. Last I heard police were looking for him for passing counterfeit bills.
Yep. Just looked him up to see so guess he learned nothing. That said, most of us will never know how hard it is getting out of prison and trying to function in the real world. Even though they’ve served their debt to society, those charges will follow them everywhere they go. It’s like a set up for failure in a way.

Imagine they have a good Mentor to help them start a business. Imagine they have a good Secretary to help them with the paperwork. Imagine they have a Manager to run their business for them when they are not in their business or on vacation. - TAV
@@Anonymous_________ Did you know that Louisiana has a program to help people start a business. It's called "SCORE." The business mentors are retired business people who get paid $80.00 per hour, but it is free for you. They should offer it to all the people who are in prison. The business could be painting, music, novels, autobiography, dentistry (Billy Cannon, Sr.), or whatever their work experience allows. Their profits could be used to pay for the prison expenses, so it would save the State money to do this.
I was one of those people at DCI and there not that good to you,and truth be known we didn't deserve any better,I never committed a crime that I directly hurt anyone but I was a criminal,that was back in the 80.'s and I served my time,the only rehabilitation is found with in through JESUS Christ anything else will fail you like the system
Amen brother. I’m glad that the Most High Jesus Christ revealed Himself to you and that you answered the call. Glad you are free and doing better. Stay focused and stay on God’s path sir.

Wholesome sidenote: Robert Blanda turned his life around and earned a med degree back in the mid 2010s. He now runs his own practice as a GP right outside of Lafayette. I'm obviously joking.
I'm 74 years old! The inhumanity disgusting way these people are treated sickens me! I'm happy that they are sharing this abuse of human life with other Americans! However it remains a disgusting Miss Fortune about America absolutely disgusting the way they treat these human beings should be a crime! The way prisons are run and the disrespect given to human life! Not negating if they are guilty!
Extremely unfortunate that most of them are more then likely, back in jail or prison by now or dead. Convictions follow you for life in every aspect of it. If you can help it, stay on the right side of the law. The worst crime in life is riding down a road to nowhere and once the legal system gets it's hands wrapped around you, it's extremely difficult to break loose. Its like a vice grip. I understand not all of them should be in there and some are less fortunate then others but don't ever allow your specific circumstances to dictate the outcome of your life. No matter where you come from, you make your own destiny in life. Don't be a legal statistic and don't ever allow yourself to judge a book by its cover. If your life circumstances are not favorable, turn it into a success story. Carve out your own path. People love that. Don't waste it and end up on a prison show.
Colby is doing well he is a PEng with a masters, has a wife, three kids, gainful employment. He probably finished his degree and licensing in prison. A conviction is not a life sentence
Majority of these men can’t cut it in life Working full time, rent, groceries, taxes, insurance. They don’t have the cognitive ability. Prison EVERYTHING is handed to them on a platter.
Honestly growing up in Louisiana I can honestly say that probably most of those men are innocent what with all the bribes, racist people, and civil unrest in the 1980-1990’s shit even after Katrina it’s still kinda like that tbh
the working etc reminds me of the film life . But its very though idd rather kill a officer there and be killed then a prison in lousiana or missipi or somewhere there :P
I know this is old but I doubt things are any different today,some of the prison officers set these lads up to fail,they tell lies and get the lads on charges that are unnecessary,how are they supposed to improve and gain life skills,they are doomed to feel hopeless,helpless and frustrated,some of the prison officers are worse than the inmates,just more sly and misuse their power
A place I never wanna go again if you been to prison you know it’s not a place to be but if you can find peace and stay to yourself and show respect like everybody else then you good
This is 20 years old so all the people crying about how bad convicts are treated need to relax. And really, if they didnt want life to suck then dont get caught doing whatever dumb thing it is you are doing.
I served 5 yrs in DCI frm 2011-2016 it was a crazy n dangerous place if you handled yourself properly you’d be ok I vowed to never go back.

Louisiana sucks for incarceration. If you get Locked up here, be ready to sit in a parish prison in a "DOC Dorm" living like your in parish prison instead of a real DoC facility. Commisary sucks and ZERO programs.
If you have a lengthy sentence youll goto a DoC facility but under 5, Parish.
So why do we keep falling for it then. If you know it’s designed to get you caught up, so again why do we keep falling for it……
@@caustic625 I know how to get out of those parish dorms....it's gonna cost you some good time,but you'll be able to get in enough programs to get your days back,plus some! Be as absolutely unmanageable as possible in the parish...fight, buck on all C.O.s ,don't work if you make trustee, just wild out!..make em ship you to Hunts,then wherever you head from there, then just chill and enjoy a little more freedom. Prisons always better than any Parish..even your 90 in the field,at least you get fresh air, and can hit the weight pile. Much better than rotting in the Parish!
It works!
I’m a bit concerned abt the officer who keeps writing inmates up for crooked pillows etc. to me that’s not helping them to be better when they get out.
I’m completely against prisons for profit… inmates are guaranteed long sentences and less likely to get paroled…
9:40 the guy said he saw the bars moving. Man do these guy’s need to be so hard threated? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying forget nor forgive. What is see is they need love, a lot of love man.
That's true but my Grandma's and my step Dad's tough love worked too. I was arrested a dozen or so times and it was when nobody wanted me that I realized I had to change to make them feel different. But yes in the end. We wanted to be loved by someone or another.
He did it to get out of work
Scarry ass dude just didn't wanna work lol he made that up since they said inmates who have mental problems aren't eligible for work
@@gutWrench9mm Right lame ass dude 🤣🤣
No love down here
They should never send non-violent criminals to prison.
This is sweet compared to prison I’ve been to an I’m from sc which is similar to this.
21:52 The inmates...most of them are guilty..........MOST?!
That was an extraordinarily poor choice of words! Had I been given the incredibly difficult job as the Warden in one of the strictest law-and-order States in the Country, I would have worded that very differently! Perhaps using the phrase: A good percentage of whom are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt." There are, *without question,* innocent men serving time. And that breaks my heart. :(
Louisiana leads the Nation in prosecutor misconduct.
I like the Warden in this documentary. He speaks very different and respectful from others I’ve met and heard.
he resigned for sexual misconduct.
you have never met a prison warden in your life you just watch documentaries and movies on them
You are funny! I used to work in a prison.
They try to sound nice for television but at work they are vicious and cruel just like most of the staff that works at a prison
I couldn't stand Warden Booty
Keep that Louisiana footage coming
BIG FACTS
I love Cajun culture and that country Cajun accent reminds me of that slow paced southern living!
That’s a slave plantation.
@@NewChris024 Like Angola
Been waiting to see more episodes.....
They cut a lot of it
the louisiana accent is real smooth on the ear
What year was this filmed?
My guess early 2000’s
They should be made mandatory in schools period
He went to lockup for talking on line..not for fighting, but for talking on line..that's petty..real petty.
My brother did a few years here. And hunts. My uncle is in Angola. They just covered his case on a show…episode is called The Man With The Rabbits Foot
Sounds like your proud of them. Smh
@@stevemoore-nx8cq proud? That’s what you wanted to take from my comment. I haven’t spoken to my brother in over five years and couldn’t tell you the last time I spoke to my uncle. He won’t speak to anyone anymore. Pride is not something I would necessarily associate with my uncle however I do still care for him.He was very good to me and lived with us growing up .he used to bring me to school and taught me how to tie my shoes and lived with us at the time of the crime. My uncle’s case is very complicated. I won’t waste my time boring you with it or risk you shaking your head again. My sincere apologies.
Yeah, I'm not sure that's a flex
You are in prison to be punished- where did these inmates get the idea that they have any freedom? - you gave that up when you committed a crime- the idea is to learn your lesson and never come back- you want to be free- don't commit crimes
The issue is finding a balance between punishment and rehab or prison becomes a revolving door and no one wins. That said, I do feel for those who committed a minor offense vs those who did a horrible crime.
You're absolutely right
What an out of touch with reality statement 🤦🏽
@@woodynorris8224 Harriet Tubman broke the law, MLK broke the law, Jesus broke the law. Please do not brandish every prisoner as "bad". Louisiana is bible belt and inmates sometimes work on former plantations as modern day slaves.
@@woodynorris8224 I'm not going to spar with you mr Norris.
Crazy seeing this after watching all these Louisiana parole board hearings haha seen DCI on there a few times
This is east feliciana parish… in west feliciana parish there is the angola prison which is supposed to be similar to this prison
35:33 😆🤦🏻♂️🙅🏻♂️.....That much commissary attracts the wrong kind of attention in my opinion!! Boy became a target and he don't even know it.......smh!!
Facts
Facts
I concur
He fail right for it....
Still amazes me that Robert had all of those charges and had the lightest sentence and best job out of everyone else. Last I heard police were looking for him for passing counterfeit bills.
I noticed that as well and the infractions if I heard them right was trivial
Yep. Just looked him up to see so guess he learned nothing. That said, most of us will never know how hard it is getting out of prison and trying to function in the real world. Even though they’ve served their debt to society, those charges will follow them everywhere they go. It’s like a set up for failure in a way.
@@Garbeaux. that's my potna Robbie from Kenner he went back for 10 years after he got out for stabbing a dude for messing with him.
@@nolachino504 man I could tell he was from down south from his accent
@504 chino was Robert in Cottonport beginning of 07 because I could of swore I seen him on the compound
Love yo Channel Bro new sub all out of control youngters need to watch this
This is when prison was prison know it's just a bunch of young dudes roaming around causing havoc..
Damn 1 Dude got 7 years for distribution on cocaine at 17..... that’s a lot
At least it wasn't 20 years
One guy could very well be allergic to chicken that's why he's feeling sick, who knows..I imagine that's a good way to get salmonella wouldn't want that job..
I bet that factory STINKS like rotten dead zombie shit. Have you ever smelled old chicken? 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I'm a vegetarian and I'd lose it in there!
Most likely he’s allergic to work. Thus his current situation.
@41:10 What did sterling say his charge was? His accent & speed made it tricky for me to hear
Bring back the oubliette……it builds character..
My cousin is serving a 30 year sentence at DCI for one punch.The victim hit his head on the road. My cousin was charged with manslaughter instead of negligent homicide. I miss him. He went in 22 and won't come home until he 50.
Damn
Dang man thats messed up
@@ayeitsnino647
Shit man them a lot of years.
How long has he been incarcerated now?
That happens Alot... You gotta think twice before you act in this world
Seems like convenient slavery to me.
That's Exactly what it is!!
Imagine they have a good Mentor to help them start a business. Imagine they have a good Secretary to help them with the paperwork. Imagine they have a Manager to run their business for them when they are not in their business or on vacation. - TAV
That's a fairy tail though compared to life for them.
@@Anonymous_________ Did you know that Louisiana has a program to help people start a business. It's called "SCORE." The business mentors are retired business people who get paid $80.00 per hour, but it is free for you. They should offer it to all the people who are in prison. The business could be painting, music, novels, autobiography, dentistry (Billy Cannon, Sr.), or whatever their work experience allows. Their profits could be used to pay for the prison expenses, so it would save the State money to do this.
Basically the board automatically finds them guilty
That's wild bro.
no the proof and evidence does
I was one of those people at DCI and there not that good to you,and truth be known we didn't deserve any better,I never committed a crime that I directly hurt anyone but I was a criminal,that was back in the 80.'s and I served my time,the only rehabilitation is found with in through JESUS Christ anything else will fail you like the system
Amen brother. I’m glad that the Most High Jesus Christ revealed Himself to you and that you answered the call. Glad you are free and doing better. Stay focused and stay on God’s path sir.
It's going to be a man hunt before I go back to elaine hunts
Got caught up in Shreveport they gave me 3 years felony probation. I asked if I could transfer my probation back home to California they denied me so I went on the run 🏃♂️ for 3 years until the probation was over. When I finally got caught in Cali Louisiana didn’t even want me no more fuck Louisiana Prison system my mom and family have given over 50+ years
I remember looking at this when this came out.
Wholesome sidenote: Robert Blanda turned his life around and earned a med degree back in the mid 2010s. He now runs his own practice as a GP right outside of Lafayette.
I'm obviously joking.
I use to work here. Good job.
I'm 74 years old! The inhumanity disgusting way these people are treated sickens me! I'm happy that they are sharing this abuse of human life with other Americans! However it remains a disgusting Miss Fortune about America absolutely disgusting the way they treat these human beings should be a crime! The way prisons are run and the disrespect given to human life! Not negating if they are guilty!
I'm sure if one of these gentleman is the one that strong armed your mother for her SSI check you'd feel a bit different...
don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.
@@timmyshore3755 omggggg, stop!
Bro this is sweet compared to what prison is today.
Gabriel Williams man now when I look back at this I just shake my head I haven't been back either
Extremely unfortunate that most of them are more then likely, back in jail or prison by now or dead. Convictions follow you for life in every aspect of it. If you can help it, stay on the right side of the law. The worst crime in life is riding down a road to nowhere and once the legal system gets it's hands wrapped around you, it's extremely difficult to break loose. Its like a vice grip. I understand not all of them should be in there and some are less fortunate then others but don't ever allow your specific circumstances to dictate the outcome of your life. No matter where you come from, you make your own destiny in life. Don't be a legal statistic and don't ever allow yourself to judge a book by its cover. If your life circumstances are not favorable, turn it into a success story. Carve out your own path. People love that. Don't waste it and end up on a prison show.
Colby Baxter seems to be doing well living in Colorado.
Top notch comment
☝️
Truth be told
Colby is doing well he is a PEng with a masters, has a wife, three kids, gainful employment. He probably finished his degree and licensing in prison. A conviction is not a life sentence
Majority of these men can’t cut it in life Working full time, rent, groceries, taxes, insurance. They don’t have the cognitive ability. Prison EVERYTHING is handed to them on a platter.
Especially in Louisiana with the second and third offense rules that are designed to keep you in prison forever
Honestly growing up in Louisiana I can honestly say that probably most of those men are innocent what with all the bribes, racist people, and civil unrest in the 1980-1990’s shit even after Katrina it’s still kinda like that tbh
You’re right. Most of them were hard working, law abiding family men. All that crime and murder you hear about every day, it’s actually aliens.
no most are guilty as charged
the working etc reminds me of the film life . But its very though idd rather kill a officer there and be killed then a prison in lousiana or missipi or somewhere there :P
No Timmy you’re wrong I’ll be glad to send you some reading material
Colby is high as a kite 😂
It's all about how you do your time never let the time do you
Peace be with everyone their. God bless .
High school students need to see this
Are there any "new" post-covid prison docs?
Good luck getting a camera crew in a prison after covid came out
I am not sure Sir but I will add it to my list. I have some good LEO contacts that may be receptive to the idea!
What year was this recorded? Hello from denmark
1978
No way more like late 90's or early 00s
Hard time down south for first timers damn that's 🥶
Watching from TRENTON NEW JERSEY
Willingboro NJ
49 n a half years for attempted robbery of an illegal gambling house got damn wtf!
I know this is old but I doubt things are any different today,some of the prison officers set these lads up to fail,they tell lies and get the lads on charges that are unnecessary,how are they supposed to improve and gain life skills,they are doomed to feel hopeless,helpless and frustrated,some of the prison officers are worse than the inmates,just more sly and misuse their power
Gabriel gonna be in thete for life the way he sound
They got my man up in court in jail for talking
Totally off the subject, but Louisianans have the best accent. I love the French influence.
thanks 😏
Remnant of French colonization.
Attempt armed robbery 49 yrs that's crazy
A place I never wanna go again if you been to prison you know it’s not a place to be but if you can find peace and stay to yourself and show respect like everybody else then you good
This is 20 years old so all the people crying about how bad convicts are treated need to relax. And really, if they didnt want life to suck then dont get caught doing whatever dumb thing it is you are doing.
