- Louis Theroux talks to prison guards about an incident on death row. Great short video from BBC show Louis Theroux - Behind Bars. Contains some strong language and deals with adult themes.
This is a channel from BBC Studios who help fund new BBC programmes. Service information and feedback: www.bbcstudios.com/contact/co... - Zábava
Those guys shouting go home really showed Louis, I bet he feels real embarrassed while he's not in prison later on in the day.
He like I outta get in trouble and go back so i can show em
haha totally. Prisoners - “go home” Louis - “gladly go back to my comfortable home where I can come & go as I please” 🤷🏾♂️
Lol - funny 😂
@GuildBankLooter he is obviously being sarcastic with the comment, read it again
It's so weird seeing grown men act like they're still in high school. Kind of cringey too.
The first guy probably heard Chris Hansen tell him to “Have a seat” 😂
🤣 🤣 🤣
Exactly my thoughts
He bought milk and cookies
@@arbit3r more like beer and rohypnol
Nah, most of the people who took Hansen's seat were never convicted. That show used photos of mature women to lure men in, refused to cooperate with the police and so on. Hansen is a fraud.
"What you in for?"
"Doesn't matter"
FIDDLAAAAR! 😂
Wouldn’t need to even ask. He looked like a massive Paedo!
I was a little annoyed his whole demon speech got cut off…😒 wanted to hear what the chomo was going to say
Thought the same
🤣
Nothing but a fedlum bens
"go home! and dont come back" was that supposed to be aggressive? he's the one that actually CAN go home
haha
Heh he should’ve said _“Oh okay, I will then, see ya!”_
@Darkzz Lord I see sarcasm surpasses you, you moron.
"Go back home to your wife and kids, and relatively happy life, man!"
It's a warning. A word of advice. Prison is hell.
Louis has a unique style of calm that's very refreshing.
I like the way he doesn't say anything after they've finished speaking which usually leads to them saying more. Only when he knows they're not going to say anything else does he ask the next question.
Yep. His social skills are fantastic. I don't think you can teach that. His natural charisma is just very calming and it naturally seems to make people open up to him.
Mark Alldridge yeah he acts like he hasn't got a clue which leads them to opening up and kind of boasting sometimes which let's us know what's really happeninh
That's exactly what he does. And when they boast, they say something a certain way, and he repeats it back to them and questions them about it. Brilliant journalist.
Choy. it's only cause he's walking with a guard and the gunner up on the rail is watching . put him in a jumpsuit and I bet by the end of his first day he would be in high heals turning tricks for protection.
When they heard the BBC was coming for them, they must have thought of something else that day.
LOL thats great
Haha
😂😂😂🤦🏾♂️
Max Jami good one
haha
I can never understand why the American prison system is allowed to be so totally dysfunctional..if your not twisted when you go in,you surely will be when you come out.
Land of the free, with the biggest prison population on the planet. And the worst and most barbaric prisons in the western world.
@@cockoffgewgle4993 plus low press freedom and police brutality.
US prisons are like 3rd world country prisons.
@@SamC-fd4sj Those 3rd world countries prisons are far worse than anything U.S can offer.
@@jslfcs6655 Some are, some aren't. But the point is that there isn't a single 1st world country that has prisons that are even anywhere close to as bad as the USA.
I've been to prison in the UK. Murder and rape are extremely rare, I had a window I could open and didn't get bullied despite being short and unassuming. I mean it was shit and I never want to go back, but the American cell mate i had said that USA prisons were a million times worse.
I always find it amazing how so many men in prison regress to basically really big, dangerous 8 year olds.
That's so true, it's primal man, I believe if we left children on an island and did nothing to interfere with them or raise them in any way they would turn out similarly to these prisoners
@@locky7347 children? Just try adults without phones & watch them turn to savages within 12 months.
@@RevealedFilms No they won't, fuck you!
@@RevealedFilms yeah there's unbelievably terrible mental health in Australia right now. IDK about where you live but we have scapegoated and turned our national hatred towards unvaccinated people. I'm sure you've heard of what we do to them in this country, it's sick
And according to the media and our politicians if you disagree with what's happening to these people but have a vaccine yourself your anti-vax
@@locky7347 Yeah Australia's fucking lost it
We all know what that first guy is there for
Just realised that that’s one shot - I know that sounds obvious, but actually it’s why it’s such an effective ‘scene’ - we see in real-time the transition from calm interview to tense heckling to the final debriefing.
🎯
Those guys really hurt Louis by shouting go home. He really wanted to stay.
😂
😢
Louis is the bravest journalist out there.. not a hope I would go in there...
NoPain NoGain Ross Kemp is both bold and bald lol
Mate have you seen that clip where someones pointing a gun at him and he just walks up to him and says "Oh yeah go on then, Shoot Me!"
Fucking Ross Kemp is hard as nails bruv!
Laz Low that was so fake 🤦🏻♂️
There's not a single killer in that yard
@NoPain NoGain ross kemp he's a beast
The one thing that would drive me crazy in prison is the constant noise.
😂
Eh it helps you sleep trust me it's better than absolute silence like Some solitary wings
@@iwi2042 speaking from experience ?
@@TheCleaner76 did some time as teen nothing serious.
I’m a construction contractor and worked in an open prison in Scotland which has minimal security, the prisoners get work day release in public and get home one weekend a month, basically a walk in the park and mostly it’s for people who are well behaved and minimum risk or people coming to the end of long sentences to get back into a routine for outside. We had a prison guard escort but were never in any danger, but our escort pointed out that when inmates pass each other they shake hands or greet each other whereas sex offenders and people who’ve committed any crime against a woman or child (known as beasts) don’t hang around in big crowds and the other prisoners ignore them. Normally in a secure prison they would be segregated but in this place they weren’t because if you get in trouble you lose all your perks and go back to a harsher closed prison so these people are mostly free to walk around which to me was a massive shock.
These systems actually work very well for those with non-violent offenses, like petty theft, repeat dwis, drug selling etc. And even for those convicted of more serious crimes like assualt, if it's deemed that they don't pose a risk to the surrounding community.
I wrote a term paper awhile back on prison reform, I focused a lot on the Norwegian and other Scandevian prison systems. The main ethos of their correctional system is that the loss of freedom is the punishment, not the prison environment itself. Many prisons there operate on the system you just outlined; released to work during the day (or even if they don't work they're allowed out, especially to access things like medical services and visit family), back in at night. The prisons themselves often don't look like prisons, a lot don't even have a fence or a locking door, just a guard few guards surrounding some dormitories. And they're immediately given a case worker to help them figure out shit like applying for benefits, setting up bank accounts etc. basically everything they'd need to be set up after they get out including even finding apartments for them. The end result is that people get out set up to actually pursue a life as a human being, and are not just shat out into the cold with nothing more than what they walked in their with (the American system). And while they're inside there isn't the motive to commit violence like there is in the american system were even a person sent to jail for ignoring a bench warrant is going to have to get in a least one altercation. When you treat men like animals, they act like it. Treat them like human beings, and you'll find the vast majority of convicts actually don't want to commit violence or go postal at the local town pub.
Recidivism is still an issue in the nordic system, but nowhere near the american. About 20% of Finnish ex-convicts are re-arrested, that number is 75% in the states. Numbers speak for themselves, the american prison system needs massive reform asap (fat chance, there would go all those -slaves- prison labourers).
Thing is, not all sex criminals are dangerous. Some are cases of people who entered relationships with minors which may even have been totally consensual but, because the other person was under 18 (or whatever the legal age of consent is), it's statutory rape which is still a crime for which you have to serve time. In cases like that, it is up to the judge to take into account every mitigating factor (age, no criminal history or genuine intent to victimise someone) and impose, if they so decide, a lighter sentence and ideally not served in a hardcore place, one that doesn't ruin who you are any more than being a registered sex offender and a felon already does.
I have heard of one case where a girl from my school got into a relationship with a guy from the year above, when we were in our last years or thereabouts. Their relationship continued after he left school and he had a really early birthday (sometime in Feb or March), which meant he turned 18 quite early and she was still 17, and we knew they were hooking up since before then, but he'd now be tried as an adult if they ever got caught. No one ever said anything and they managed to keep their entire relationship a secret from the teachers and their parents for years, lying about only meeting/becoming an item when they were in college and 20-21, which was important because we're a country that's generally quite conservative when it comes to relationships and sex, and the kinds of parents we get, for sure would report the guy to the police for rape if they actually found out.
Note I'm not saying consent and sex rules shouldn't exist, they absolutely should, but it's worth trying to understand how they and excessively conservative cultures do pose a risk to some. A person's life shouldn't be ruined because of genuine young love, or from a single mistake.
@@gregoryborton6598 it’s close to incomparable though. In Scandinavian countries we are talking, for the most part, about people raised in relative comfort, taught right from wrong, homogenous, reasonably educated, no major street gang culture, less hard drugs on the street. A lot of the people in American prison are already lost causes sadly. Then there’s the population size to take into account. There are just too many variables that make the US and even the most densely populated areas of a Scandinavian country basically incomparable. It’s close to an apples and oranges type situation. It would be impossible to take their approach to reform in the US.
"Get out and don't come back"
Camera man: ooh I might have a maccys on the way home.
co- the prisons on fire, they're all rioting and attacking officers, we've lost control.
Louis- that's quite a big thing isn't it?
@SP you're just jealous because you're not complete, you are only a crash test dummy, well i salute you sir, keeping us all safe by checking the air bags are working properly at the automobile factory. ⛔
Typically understated.
I think it was the gards calm tone that had Louis questioning it.
There's something so priceless about the guy repeating "shots fired in the east block yard" 😂
The first guy for sure had been ambushed by Chris Hansen in the past. He was one of those who did not want to take a seat at first, and later had run out of excuses...
So glad I'm not a criminal. Thanks to great family and friends
Until your government makes you one
show off
Don't break the law once you do small or large crime you in it forever.
White Northman this doesn’t mean anything
Yeah you're probably a pussy make sure you keep your nose clean b**** boy because Prison needs people like you for extortion
Louis gonna get people killed with these questions man lol
Brodha Sattva Good fuck them pedos
I know right - like in another part of the show when he says to one of the white dudes “you look kind of new”, properly showing him up as looking nervous and out of place. Why highlight that shit? Lol
lol every nonce deserves to die
@@JFD99 nah
@@Webby104 you’re a nonce init
Louis is such a cool guy. Respect. I mean how he handles the situations , no matter where he is.
Inmate : go home
Louis : no u
1:18 I guess Hank took a break from the DEA to pursue a different career
Louis is a Legend😎
I think we all know why the first guy is behind bars.
surely they wouldn't put him in with so many other prisoners though would they ? can't imagine him lasting long
@@shutup2751 Because it isn't like in the movies. These worthless fucks don't care about women and children, just the "code". The code is to never associate with a pedo, not to kill all pedos.
@@shutup2751 *That yard was for PC (Protective Custody) inmates. Gang dropouts, sex offenders and people who can't handle general population.*
@@shutup2751I believe his yard are all the same offences
Love some Louis.
Stay in school, kids.
And stay in the house to
Don't even have to stay in school to be a decent human being. Just get a job, pay your taxes and leave other people alone.
@@cassk9999 i learned most bad shit in school, so honestly STAY IN THE HOUSE !!!!!!!!
but don't shoot it up
Stay in bed and learn advanced mathematics until you can levitate
That first guy definitely did something to a child
You can tell off the back he's a pervert.
He did, in the documentary, the guard pretty much said those are nonces
Very good documentary
The mentality of prisoners is very intriguing. The way they act. The rules they follow and the rules they dont follow. I guess you can call it an ass backwards world
That was like a gang of 5 year olds telling him to get out. Probably didn't say anything as he came in or started talking to people, but when they're in their way out it's "get out of our yard!", "don't come back!" 😂😂😂
Also, I’m sure the producers _definitely_ didn’t tell them to do that…
Louie is THE BEST
Gaurd: they have crimes they don't want others to know
Louis : child molesters?
Gaurd: basically yeah
LOL weird how some of the OTHER BBC videos with Louis will not load anything but the video here on youtube.
Chomos seem to be very friendly inmates and good for playing cards or chess with
The term “fish out of water” was invented for situations like this.
Didn't hear no shots it's cuz of the questions you asked, see the C,O saluting, that was the Q
When someone talks like the first guy.
You all know what time it is!
“Dont come back” 🤣🤣🤣
Cant find full videos of louis prison documentaries anymo..
My life goal is to never go to prison.
Keep aiming high dude
Hank Schrader was a prison guard before his move into the DEA
Yes Mr. Prisoner. I'm sure Louis is upset he is leaving and is really going to miss this place...
Loius should have shouted back " you go home"..
Some People learn more about crime inside than out
Thanks CZcams recommendation..... I think..... 10 years later.....
00:31 The camera person was confident
"....we got to get down...."
Fearless
"Go home"
Louis: yeah, that's the beauty of it...........I can!
Well they seem a nice bunch.
luie walks into prison yards and cells and is totally calm about it.
Well, yeah he has armed guards with him.
“You could say that”
Whats this full doco called
That day was the only day when Louis couldn't use his passive-aggressiveness without fear of his life.
There's just a whole lot of evil in between those fences.. That's what i sensed in essence
I sensed a combination of pure evil, as well as evil that has been forced upon some inmates through unfortunate circumstance. I sensed guilt, regret, anguish, but also pride, hope, fellowship. I sensed potential.
Sadly, we don't live in a world where we change these people for the better.
What a literal hell on earth.
Full episode???
why do these videos have no info
0:00 the guy in the blue shirt def has atleast 800 terabytes of cp on his computer
It was 2008 and the prison had so many inmates. I dont think its gotten better today
Its gotten worse i presume
Does anyone know why the shots were fired on the Death Row block that day?
Prisons like highschool but everyones a grown up
Obviously you've never been busted. You'd poss in your pants .
They are literally like children
you have to be pretty dumb to go to prison
Some of them have probably been there since they where kids
Louie should of started checking paperwork...
Theroux has probably caused death to someone by his questions.
I really hope I never go to prison 😕
This prison is full of prison mikes.
"Go home!"
Er... Ok I will
Why is Maynard James Keenan moonlighting as a prison officer?
Does anyone know the backround to that first guy
No,
💯🔥🔥
Anyone else think the cop in the thumbnail is Maynard from Tool?
Yeah I’m going to stay out of prison thanks.
0:00 Ed Helms
I remember yard at Donovan when it was still general population. I was bunked next to the shot caller from another car. I heard nothing butt I knew something was up. Out in yard they sliced one of theirs. I watched the guy get it, very close to me. It was weird being so close to danger as it was going down, yet safe still. I had a few minutes beforehand to leave the area but I didn't.Somehow they got rid of the weapon.
I like this, totally outing a psycho in front of everyone and passing it on CZcams.
Probably got killed that same night
Respect
It’s a prison. They’re all psychos.
No good yard, hard candy list
01:03 is that Hank Schrader?
Chomo the first dude
"Well we have the guns"
Really
Is that Vin Diesel?
Ok im on the way to get me a double whataburger with cheese fries and strawberry shake!!!!
Not alot of people know Whataburger preach brother preach!
Nice lookin prison though.
Is there such a thing
Prisoners are happier than us on the outside
I doubt it
They have no chance so gave up long ago and have lived quite the life ever since.
PC yard and they're acting tough lmao
Gp would be silent
@Tristo Smitty protection.. for sex offenders and anybody who can't handle the main yards
@Tristo Smitty paedophiles are the lowest of the low
@Tristo Smitty children are the most vulnerable members of society, human biology has evolved so that they are powerless for many years and during those formative years they rely on the social nature of humans for protection.
Taking advantage of this to commit sexual assault is perverted on many levels, and is a massive betrayal of the basic tenets of society that we rely upon in order to function as a healthy larger community as well as sadly being extremely damaging to the victim.
As populations grow larger this trust becomes more important, and the crimes of these sick people become even more unforgivable, which is reflected in prison populations where there are a lot of cognizant if criminal people.
Hopefully that explains why child abuse and assault is seen as one of the worst crimes someone can possibly commit.
there seemed to be a lot in that yard though, would one prison really have so many ?
I didnt know pitbull was a prison guard xD
Those are J-cats and that's an SNYard.
I'm surprised he wasn't wearing body armor and a helmet lol.
That's a PC yard ,
1:20 Dude saying "well, we have the guns" kinda tells he in general isn't concerned somebody getting shot.
This dude..... What a freak.
"don't come back" great advice pity the prisoners after release if ever won't take their own advice 🤔
he could have just watched 'OZ' and left it at that.
Shots fired??? Rest of the world hears nothing..
Of course we won't hear it, we're not there I personally. Duh. There were real shots fired.
@@sabrinamendez6223 CO said it was inmate on inmate gang dispute or carrying out a hit?
@@traviskarnes6825 I guess , but it really did happen, others are saying no. I know for a fact it was.
@SuperSwedishBear i tought exactly the same, even before reading your comment lol
I wonder if there really was shots on East Block yard? Wouldn't we be able to hear it? My theory is that a guard suspected the inmates were going to do something to Louis, so they called the alarm!
@ or maybe I think that the shots fired was just a hoax to get him out of there, so that he won't ask that guy any more questions
@@aldendiaz1165 that is so stupid.
No, there really was shots fired. The officers don't have the same mentality than the inmates. Most ppl won't understand.
''get out of our yard'' they say as if they chose to be there or sum'n
Hell on earth
The first guy should’ve lied
