My Mom worked at Pelican Bay. A REALLY dangerous and maximum security prison. She's been shanked; jumped, stuck with a needle, had feces thrown on her, etc. There was one inmate who somehow smuggled in a picture of her that was taken off of facebook and printed out (they still don't know how) and he used it for... well, I'll let you fill in the blanks. But she said she was really flattered considering they usually just wanted to stab her.
Now thats one tough woman with a sense of humor
My mom worked for a prison too! Supposedly, an inmate had her portrait tattooed on himself. SHE'S in prison now🤦♀️, and I often wonder if anyone has recognized her by his tattoo yet 😄
can you send me a picture of your mom? I would like it for the same reason. Thanks.
Did she ever explain to you why she chose that career and then chose to stay in such a dangerous job?
Haha
An odd rule that some U.S. prisons have is banning tabletop roleplaying games like dungeons and dragons, because they didn't want inmates using the maps and adventures to plan an escape.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The guards not gonna expect this critical miss
Just make the COs DM. 😛
😂
"Okay... now you have to roll a Natural 20 to escape the rooms with guards."
"I got a 20."
"..*okay*, You walk out of the room, as coincidentally, all the guards are blind."
Honestly love this channel , get home from a long day at work and put this on until I go to sleep !
Lol me too
Same. Top 5 CZcams channels for sure.
Used to love it too, but for months now, all they’ve done is war vids.
I work in a county jail. Primarily pre-trial. We still have board/card games to a degree. But our rec room is just a big room with a couple big windows. No workout equipment, no sports stuff. Just a big room.
Same here though they did give us a volleyball 🏐 We just pretended there was a net. Then people started fighting about it so they took it away.
I was in county jail when tobacco was banned in a smaller Texas town. . One day it was allowed. The next day it was not. They stated to limit how much tobacco you could buy so by the cutoff, there was very little left. People still had rolling papers and they started rolling up pepper and fruit peels just to have something to smoke. Once all the matches were gone though it was over.
That had to be one of the worst times to end up in jail. By the time I ended up in jail, cigarettes had been banned in the jails/prisons for just over a year. People still had tobacco, and papers and a lot of them managed to light their cigarettes without access to matches or lighters. If you're determined enough, there's a way.
@Mathew yeah these days it's a felony to possess tobacco in Texas institutions. Just nuts
Because while people always want to have control so if it’s ok then banned the next day somthing not right
Not the boardgames! I was locked up in county in an 6 man block as the only white guy with only Spanish speaking inmates who kept the Spanish channel on the T.V. 24/7 all we had was Monopoly to interact with each. With no books that time was hard enough, couldn't imagine it without the Monopoly
I was in Army Nick at Colchester, 6 man rooms, in the UK, to get a board game we needed 3 good inspections in a row, 5 for a Radio and 7 for a TV!
We only once got the board game, and I think the TV was a myth! They would find a speck of dust or a slight smudge somewhere and BOOM, back to square 1
@@phil3038 I had a close family member locked up there and at least it was good to reach out to them by email correspondence , something that America does not have still today . Sure it still cost but not all , the only thing is, I was unable to recieve corrospodence back with living in America. They were in prison for two years, released and died shortly after unfortunately . So thank you for confirming what your experience was like.
You should have tried to fight them for the tv lol
When I was doing time we once had a monopoly game last over a month. Good time’s with some cool dude’s.
@@supportyourtroopsathletes6460the US does have a prison email, they actually have quite a few different systems they use for it aswell 🤗
Every prison is different though, they're mostly private run, not government run unfortunately.. so there probably are a few that refuse the email system
The norwegian prison seems like a great idea, having prisoners help the planet. Scandinavian countries do a lot of stuff right imo.
Jails still take your cash to pay for meals of you had any at all on your person. When you leave they send you off with a bill that states how much you ate everyday and what the total cost is. That said if you don't eat the guards will berate you you are required to take the meal. All that send when you leave and the meal paperwork is there don't sign it or don't ever pay it. It's entirely unlawful to make people pay for the basic meal while incarcerated. And they love taking your cash because it can't at all be tracked or traced. If they attempted to come after you for a bill it would be considered a debtors jail which we stopped doing for a reason
I think that's only corporate prisons. Federal Prisons are directly controlled by the government, and are inspected and required to abide by law
Lol no they don't..
😂🤣😂
No they dont, any money you have on you either goes in your property bag to be picked up/given back to you upon release or it goes on your books/inmate account
@@aaronlucas2185 no its not because you wouldnt have cash on you going into any prison state or federal
In HMP Newhall UK, the prisoners can work in a call centre and also a well known photo developing shop (called Max Spielman) and both offer the inmates of an opportunity for a job once released. That's decent rehabilitation
That first sheriff should be honestly Behind Bars himself he's clearly a psychopath
He is trying to save your life
He very well might have ended up there if Trump hadn't pardoned him.
@@jazzjackson9875 bull!
Crime went up under arpaio not down.
@@KS-PNWofc he pardoned him, most trump thing i’ve ever seen lol
@@humanoidshrek5524 yeah it was pretty early in his term. Didn't even wait for Arpaio's case to run it's course just gave him a get out of jail free card.
Ah my favourite infographics show topic returns once again! 👍
Honestly that boxing ring seems like something that should be standard in prison.
They are but the call it "The Yard".
That's messed up man
Here in Michigan you have to be a trustee to have a cigarette and still you have to be outside
here is a good episode idea about the most innocent things you can get locked up for
Here in Texas tobacco of any kind even if your a CO is a felony on prison grounds
As a spitey, eye for an eye, individual, I'm fairly certain that if I were forced into some of these conditions, when I was out I'd be QUITE the menace to society.. it's not hard to understand how once you've been in jail ONE time, you can easily end up back there again. Prison shouldn't be a resort experience OR one that makes you a worse human than before you entered.
US prison seems downright cruel honestly and reform is desperately needed. Inmates are still human being and deserve to be treated as such, they should be rehabilitated and helped so that they can actually function when they get released, instead of just going back, since the rates of recidivism are so high.
Or maybe we should ERASE some us laws 🤔🙄🧐🤨😎
Frankly we should do both (improve conditions and send fewer people away to start with )
It's nice to see our rehabilitation prisons actually try to rehabilitate.
Lol you've never been to prison I see.
@@COYOTE_N8 It's up to you to take the opportunity or continue to be a criminal.
@@icegamer8973 🙄 not that simple, #1 there are a lot of people who are actually innocent sitting in our prisons. There have been way too many exonerated over the past several decades so theres no telling how many more are in there that havnt been/dont have legal help etc #2 everyone in prison isnt a "criminal", the majority of inmates are just normal people who get up and go to work & swing by the grocery store after picking up the kids etc etc who just got caught up in sometype of BS. The majority of ppl in this country are locked up for non-violent drug offenses & many of those are ppl who are busted with small amounts for personal recreational use &/or addicts not big time drug dealers. Some are addicts that get busted selling small amounts to support their own habit & arent out robbing/stealing to get it. A retired FBI agent even wrote a book saying that the average person will commit at least 3 felonies a day without even realizing it
@@kristiskinner8542 Sounds like excuses. It's as simple as this.
1. Don't be a criminal
2. Be a criminal.
@@icegamer8973 it's not that simple
Prison garb did not go from black and white stripes to orange jumpsuits. There was a significant amount of time (several decades) during which the standard prison uniform was dark blue denim jeans and light blue (or grey) denim work shirts.
It varies a ton from state to state and even county to county at times.
Texas was still using classic black and whites when I went through (almost 20 years ago now)
Unwritten rules are not written in the hopes you break them.
Unwritten roles aren’t written at all
Really enjoyed this video. If you guys don't get that many views on it it's because it's named so similarly to some of your older videos
I did time in Arkansas department 🏬 of Corrections. They don't really enforce the picture limit....
Can't believe Aripio was pardoned, 'til I considered who pardoned him, ha.
Kind of crazy how much Stone Ocean was inspired by real prisons.
Thanks for the video
Black Dolphin Prison, the modern day gulag, where news reporters not in putin's pocket go to be "re-educated"... :P
Love your videos
I worked at a Maricopa prison. Inmates wore black and white stripped jumpsuits with pink tee shirts, underwear and socks. New arrivals slept in tents for months all year long. If there was a riot the inmates slept outside on the ground for days in zip ties. If an inmate was in confinement they used a sludge hammer to bust huge rocks to pebbles. They cleaned freeways and farmed the food.
I got denied food in jail in UK, went into hypoglycaemia, then when I'd eaten, fought my way out of the cell. All for 'No further action'....
LOL I was out there in Phoenix in the 90's when Arpaio set up the tent cells and the pink underoos, we would drive by and honk and laugh
I love the dancing "punishment " 😄
I remember a video about an prison with 1 fence easy to jump. Every imate have his own. Cottage. And own kitchen . They have their own kitchen. But they dont try to escape there . Was it Zweden or norway ?or mabey Finland. Even having friends and family come over to sleep there . . I did not know about it untill the infograpic show made a vid about it. Anybody remember wich one?
I love your vids
Ah yes joe arpallo and his legendary pink suits…
Sheriff Joe's wife, from what I understand, owned the company that the prisoners had to buy their commissary from..
Yup
If I remember correctly, Arpaio's "prison loaf" was called a human rights violation and was pretty much the only food Maricopa inmates received, as if malnutrition wasn't already a main feature of the barbaric US prison system.
It’s prison.. not summer camp
Yup. Everyone wants prisoners treated better until they find out only 15% +/- are there for nonviolent crimes. The rest are violent crimes of one form or another. They made innocent people suffer, personally I think they are too cushioned.
@Don Eli I’m not in a little bubble .. I’m with reality.. prison is a punishment.. also sick and tired of tax dollars paying for the stay of murders/ pedos.. if found guilty I think they should be executed.. society has no place for murders or pedophiles/ rapest and other extreme crimes and they shouldn’t just sit there using up American tax dollars feeding them
Arpaio ran a jail. A lot of people in his system hadn't been convicted of anything. They were awaiting trial.
@@garrettserigney3259 but prisoners are still entitled to edible food. The loaf often had mold on it. A number of inmates also got salmonella from it, one died. That's not justice
Oh how I know about Sheriff Joe Arpio, I was locked up in Lower Buckeye County Jail for 13 1/2 days in a Juvenile Yellow and Black uniform with Pink boxers, orange socks, and sandals, the mattress is not comfortable, pink sheets and pink itchy military blanket. I was 17 when I was locked up and was looking at a sentence for 5 to 20 year's in prison for a first offense
Yeah.....you broke the law. Lol
@@nexpro6118 I was chased to my house and I had to defend myself from my attacker with my dads rifle
@@cristopherstuart4233 and if it was all good and legal with what you did before during and after the incident, than you wouldn't have been arrested. Just because we think certain laws shouldn't be laws doesn't mean that we then can't be charged with them
@@nexpro6118 did not get pardon from Trump, like Arpaio
@@massimobernardo- I know....my point was that ALL presidents have pardoned some bad people
Here in my native Canada rules in our prisons, aren't nearly half as strict or dehumanising - we're focused more on rehabilitation not punishment
2021 Results down below may shock you
Incarceration rate
USA 🇺🇸 656/100, 000 people
Canada 🇨🇦 107/100,000 people
China 🇨🇳 148/100,000
Thats because the rich are bribing those in our legal system so they can get slaves. They need a dehumanized work force.
Only the federal system not provincial. 705. CorCan was great!
@@garybrown2039 Privatisation of the prison system. Thanks in large part to Ronald Reagan I think - yeah - tell it like is buddy 🙄
No offence
Most of the others are fine but that pink underwear policy is strange
People don't THINK Joe used pink clothing to humiliate inmates, he said it himself. You can look it up on the Maricopa County Jail episode of Behind Bars or Inside the World's Toughest Prisons, I can't remember which
I remember when he said that.

Can't wait to see that Larry Lawton reaction to this one.
Man I personally did time in Arizona Sheriff’s Joe Jail tent city. The food is worse than Alpo can dog food, he made us wear pink underwear had pink towels, and pink stripes. Everything to take away your masculinity. Also they only feed you twice a day saying you only need 2000 calories to survive. Then they charge you $5 a day to be in jail so if you don’t have money on your commissary your gonna be in the hole when you do get money smh 🤦🏿♂️. Also the tents he had people sent to were like a real concentration camp. We were outside in 1950 old style military tents that hold 44 men in each tent and we were in 100 degree weather all year it’s in Phoenix Arizona and it’s definitely inhumane
Nonsense, you were lawfully convicted of a crime, how would you suggest society maintain peace and order if doesn't have a means of demanding penance? How can the 'average Joe' feel safe, and compensated for the damage, loss and physical injuries perpatrated? I'd like to see convicted lifer's have ALL their organs tissue typed, and sold to the highest bidder via the internet. I'm sick of the amount of money frittered away on individuals convicted of CLEARLY violent, selfish and socially destructive acts, rather society should consider solutions that not only segregate, but eradicate those who CHOOSE violence, criminality and other forms of wanton SELFISHNESS. WHY SHOULD WE SPEND AN EXTRA CENT, ISN'T WISER TO REMOVE A PEST, NOT HOUSE AND FEED IT!
i saw on national georgraphic as a kid this madness, i thought that was for murderers or smth sinister not for petty crimes and waiting the sentences, that's insane.
Nope not even close all I did is told someone to get away froM my property and I brandish a weapon and did a year in jail for aggravated assault and I didn’t even touch anybody
No tent city in Phoenix was for anyone from petty theft to dui to being deported. Actually there were no murders or hard criminals at the tents
Thanks!
I think any prison that is low security should be more like a rehabilitation center. Since it’s mostly dui offenders and addicts they should work on their mental health and help them get their lives together rather then make it harder. Save all that actual prison stuff for people that have actually harmed other people,
You know there's a lot of dui manslaughter right?
Phx tent city is notorious for making or breaking the hardest criminals
I have two pairs of pink handcuffs courtesy of MCSO. They are my most prized possessions.
I had to spend 2 months in my local county jail. 2 photos. We did get fed the soy meat, me and many other inmates voiced our concern, retorted with a laugh. $.80 for a stamp, $1.50 for 1 pack of ramen. $4.50 just to connect your call, then $.50 every minute. You are allowed 12 items total, including your soap and clothes. We had to help an 87 year old eat because he shook really bad. We also woke him for his med time. WE the inmates took care of him. Then proceeded to have 5 guards come in and take his food away because "no congregating", Sergeant also stated he wasn't eating fast enough. BEANS, BEANS,BEANS, BEANS EVERY MEAL. I understand the need to be stern but from what I've seen guards take it too far. There needs to be reform.
Not allowing books in solitary is going to make the person worse and more likely to lash out. Lack of mental stimulation is a recipe for mental illness
Its brutal.
I only did 3 months in solitary and it was YEARS before I recovered, still not the person I was prior to that. (Not that it matters but I was doing time for drug possession)
@@KS-PNW did you get anything to read?
Arpaio didn't run prisons, he was a sheriff and as such ran county facilities. Prisons are state run institutions.
Not surprised! that your guys put the black dolphin prison in southern Siberia not surprised at all!
""Daddy, what's a shiv?" Hahahaha
Do one about Canadian prison
I live about 9 blocks from the squirrel cage jail. It's pretty brutal lookin and haunted AF I've heard
Warden: "Listen up newbies....You follow my rules here......I've been dealing with guys like you for 30 years and you guys better believe I run my prison like clockwork, everything happens when I say it does...you do as your told, when your told."
"...Oh and by-the-way.....you pay rent or you get kicked out on the street."
😀
Some of these comments are just so horrible, prisoners are still people. People think of them as separate from themselves and miles from you, but they're people just like all of us, many prisoners are just people in difficult situations that have made bad choices or mistakes and deserve a second chance.

Those soy burgers are really low quality. They taste terrible. We call them rat patties.
This takes me way back when criminals were punished.....
I love how Joe restricts, of all things, coffee. There are a million other amenities you could restrict.
So you don't get high off of it
If you want coffee, don't break the law to go to jail. How silly of me to say that....thats me asking for adults to be responsible and to understand certain actions have bad consequences....how silly of me to ask for that from adults
Because coffee is commonly used as currency in prison for trading ect
In Belgium we have a program in which judges and some ministers go to prison to experience what they do to people. It’s not the same as the real deal but still, maybe a good idea to try in the US
2016 did time in county, most of it lounging in my bunk watching cable tv while smoking my electric cigarette (10$) thinking this is messed up. Lol.
In the “hole” in some prisons, you have to wear an orange jumpsuit. Federal prison especially. The jumpsuits get washed with white tighty-whiteys and T-shirt’s…the color bleeds and turns the underwear and shirts eventually turn pinkish. I understand that some punk county jails make inmates wear pink underwear but in the BOP, it’s pretty much accidentally.
Put the Prisoners in the CRYO PRISON and FREEZE them like in DEMOLITION MAN 😆
Or Bird person
Chess and checker peices are used to make tatoo ink. Make a tube from paper. Put a peice of paper on top. Light the chess peice on fire. Put the paper over it. Scrape the the soot off of the paper. Mix it with water and some kind of detergent. Jail soap usually. Pulverize the meat with a peice of sharp metal, covered in the soup you've made. Jailhouse tatoo.
Imagine. Going to prison and still being homeless.
The prison rules go from cool to insane
I'm addicted to pigger nussy 🤠

I have been in 5 different county jails and 2 prisons in Wisconsin and no tobocco is allowed anywhere and most jails the food is worse than any school. NO jail out here will give you nicotine patches or anything. If you don't have money on your books you're not gonna have any of the FEW luxuries you CAN have like ramen noodles or some freeze dried coffee (except 1 of the 5 jails banned caffeine)
I was in tent city back in Phoenix about 26 years ago, it was only pink boxers. The towers had pink everything, but it wasn't embarrassing, it was the uniform and EVERYONE was wearing it. He also didn't give any of us basic needs (tooth brushes, paste, cups, water) we had to drink out of a hose and anything from the commissary, which was vending machines, was owned by his family so they turned a profit. At one point they were able to pull anyone over who "looked illegal" for no reason, happened to me twice and I had to prove I was a U.S. citizen.
How the Arizona prison didn’t get sued for Egregiously Disobeying the eighth amendment is beyond me and yes it Applies to Those who are convicted as well
The prison system was sued. The case was throne out because, while the Supreme Court has said the police have a duty to protect prisoners, there is no way for prisoners to sue for their lack of protection while in prison.
There is a reason why it was considered shocking that the Court ruled you can't keep prisoners in a cell "covered floor to ceiling with an inch of excrement." It's because the Court usually doesn't pay attention to the "cruel and unusual punishment" clause of the Constitution.
It's jail, I agree with you but it's jail or prison, meaning something bad happened for you to be there, if you could figure out a way for everything to be better without costing tax payers money. Good luck, the less innocent get stuck with some of the worst
South Carolina has pink jumpsuits for the… uh… shooters 😂
One of my favorite topics!
_Laughs in Madagascar_
Some seem like the Stanford experiment with too much power, others are very different. There's a prison in Brazil I think, that allows prisoners to leave & go to work daily, & go home on Mothers day. Alcatraz had Guards & their families living on the island, not in the prison, but kids in close contact with prisoners daily.
I was a resident at Sheriff Joe's tent city once upon a time. Thats was the worst place I ever was! You are starved and forced to work 12 hours a day. Terrible
