What's so bad about a headstand?!
*One guard, over the intercom to another, in a worried tone* -- "Urm, we got a situation here, all of the prisoners are upside down"
id guess the possibility of an inmate breaking his neck intentionally..
Yes, seeing a handstand on the yard is odd and as an officer, we would question it lol. We as prison officers should freak out over it and start telling but we would casually walk up to the inmate and be like "yo dude, so....lol, what's going on? This looks a little, uhhh, peculiar? Want to explain?" Lol
Lol Shaun you’re funny “tries to keep low profile”...
*does a headstand* ;)
No shit; Right!!¡
You do a great job making the topic engrossing and painting visuals with words. I never want to go, but feel almost as if I was there with you.
Absolutely!
Thank you for sharing...my son first went to Florence, then transferred to Red Rock near Tucson, and is now at Kingman prison. He has six years left of a 15 year sentence and I know you are telling the truth, because when he was taken to Florence...after two years in maximum downtown Phoenix...he sai: "I am glad to be going out of here and it is the first time I have seen the sun in two years, that felt so good mom." Again, thank you for sharing the truth.
Three years left to serve, and it will go so quickly.
@@paigeleigh2554 Thank you Paige! You are SO awesome to have answered me...the last 3 years went so quickly!! My son is doing great, funny to say that about prison. He has matured into a beautiful man, has such a heart and helps other guys in there to keep their chins up. He is looking forward to coming home to New Mexico and to all who love him and believe in him. A family member introduced him to a woman who has faithfully been on his side now for the past 5 years and is waiting to welcome him as well. My heart has lost that broken feeling and is so hopeful...and his father, who was gone from our family for 35 years, has come back and we have bought a home for our son!! Miracles still happen!!! Life is good and on our new acre we are building and adding for any of his fellow prisoners who want to come visit, or stay, in New Mexico. Wow...prison is not the "end of hope" ... everyone deserves a second chance. You stay well and keep up your inspiring feedback! Thank you Paige!!

Shaun “all hell broke out because I did a headstand” Attwood
Shaun "headstand" Attwood! Yeah let's get it trending!
Shaun I really dont know how you survived this and kept your sanity
Love your videos
Keep it up my friend
You have nothing but support from the this community !
Love and respect brother
im using your video to make a better prison at prison architect.

Every time he says supermax I always think of blankety blank and I sing the ditty
Thats headstand story is like the funniest thing ive ever heard
Some animator needs to make a cartoon clip of what that looked like, brilliant.
@@brianjack49 I imagine him calmly doing his yoga stuff then guard yells at him to get his ass out of there and other inmates telling him to stand for "his rights" and finally him in a yoga position doing an awkward smile looking at both in total confusion thinking "Is this really happening ?"
Fuckn love you, that’s mad that you started your own yoga class in the end. Goes to show what a good mindset and good intentions can do
I enjoy weird smells like my own personal body smells. It sounds a bit weird but I don't really care. #PERSONALSTINK
Those prison exercises aren't isometric, they're calisthenic. (just trying to help) love the vids
"The prisoners actually call it "rec" for short"
Bombshell
The every 20 second gulps where adding to the edfect

Seriously good Mr Attwood. Really like your channel more and more. I like the fact that you don't store up the stories and release them in minute amounts like some other prison story channels do... dont wanna mention any names. With your channel there's shit loads of stories, plenty of information.... GREAT!! Please just keep flooding us with this stuff, its so interesting, we can't get enough. Fascinating stuff, seriously. Thanks.
blessings that you became a yoga teacher for others.🌼💜
Only the British guy would do yoga in prison! LOL. A fish out of water, or a fish in chips out of the oil. LOL.
I don't blame him, Yoga keeps you sane, and sane-ness is a valuable commodity in prison lmao
Funny you mentioned "The Bloodhound", heard about him on a National Geographic documentary on the prisons.
Lol. I scrolled onto your comment at the exact second that Shaun said his name.. That is such a common synchronicity for me these days that it's starting to freak me.out less and less lol..
...and, I just realized, it's even funnier because you said "it's funny you mentioned..", and you kind of described your own synchronicity regarding what he said..(sometimes, it takes me a little while to realize them lol)..
Cam Good and I just realized it’s even FUNNIER because YOU said HE SAID ‘it’s funny you mentioned’ ...twilight Zone bitccchhhhhhh!!!!!!
Wish I found you a year ago when I was doing my dissertation
Shaun you keep me cheered up thank u sir
Man the American prison is so messed up, coming from Norway with one of the worlds best prison system focusing on rehabilitation , this is just shocking to hear.
It’s only shocking if one doesn’t think. Let’s plant America’s racial minorities in Norway (of course proportionate to the population) and see how your prison system can cope with the effects. Ironically, Scandinavia is in the process of achieving exactly this result through third world immigration.
I really have found these to be some of the most interesting videos on CZcams. Can you do a video on prison food and the creative ways to make meals from commissary?
I'm a Correctional Officer in California, over 21 years now. Leven 2 and Level 3 prison. CA prisons go up to level 4. I know what's it's like from an officers point of view and it is entertaining to hear an inmates point of view lol. I even find it entertaining. Very intriguing stories man. It's true, there are officers that are high strung and tell at inmates for dumb shit (standing on their heads) but in my 21 years experience it's "usually not always" the new (young) officers acting like that. But there are good officers also who know how to respect people, inmate or not. On the other side, there are inmates that are respectful too and not all inmates are shit lol. I respect that you did your time and made it through. Not easy. It's an ugly world in there.
Hey man love these videos and am really interested in wildman stories get him on more if u can bro, gr8 videos keep it up
Shaun did prison change your personality?
Jesus Christ it's like watching a train wreck. I can't turn away even though this sounds horrendous.
These stories are so interesting
The most volatile really can't be let out of cells. Much too risky. Sad fact of life.
can you tell us a bit more about your yoga class and the type of characters who were in it and any interesting events please? loving your stuff by the way, it addictive to listen to you. thanks
Paus at 8:12 for a great profile pic @Shaun Attwood
Thanks for the lesson 👍
Just an FYI if you wanna keep a low profile don’t do headstands.
Moral of the story, a headstand is not good for keeping a low profile
Love this man 🙌
Every prisoner deserves as much rec as possible, other than count, time, chow, or lights out, prisoners should be allowed on the yard. My God doing time is hard enough, the more freedom you give them, the more likely they behave themselves...
They ought to have certain privileged and trusted ones gardening. They could save money and produce stuff that is a lot healthier than the shit they're served. But then this would cut in on private prison industry profits where they supply the slop. What a racket.
I heard that if you dont excercise your own race will smash you for making their race look bad is that true?
Mandatory chowhall too. Alot of times, your race will make going to chowhall mandatory even if you aren't going to eat. It's for safety, incase a riot kicks off in chowhall. No races wants to be largely outnumbered by enemy
It all sounds so pathetic
J B high school rules with deadly consequences as he regularly says
@@ChrisKlein0 yeah but I don't remember high school being so ridiculous
Trying to keep a low profile but does a headstand...
"In the end, I dropped out of the headstand". You should have stayed in your headstand then you could tell people you did your "x" number of years inside "standing on my head".
Love your videos man
dude i like your stories, you are from my crowd, the ravers.........i have been on the road from 79 onwards but it was fun when you lot showed up with rave and ecstasy.......i was a mover too but not of drugs.......i was a mover of gems and silver and gold.......the advantage was that it gives off no smell and is not illegal as a product, was just doing them on the tax. most customs have not a clue of their value thus i could run rings around them apart from heathrow where i had to be careful as many indians work customs and know about gems. luckily the Indians were good with me as i speak some hindi and understand their culture. only ever moved drugs for my own personal consumption...........i retired several years back having never once been caught..........was on a flight back from Lima last year with a Peruvian girlfriend when i was pulled in at Gatwick by a young agressive inexperienced female for a search i was in DILIGAF mode [do i look like i give a fuck] long hair, leather jacket, jeans.......i let her search but bollocked her for her gross incompetence to the point where the silly bitch got quite upset..........i mean seriously, if i was running or muling anything into any airport 1./ i would not be coming off a direct flight 2./ i would have been to the best barber shop in town before departure 3./ i would be wearing smart demure designer casuals and carrying similar luggage. 4./ i would be working alone.... besides, i am in my mid 50s, if i were involved in smuggling it would be more than i could mule and at my age i would be far too smart to bring it in with me unless i was doing it on a yacht during Cowes week with a change of sails. and an emergency escape plan. life gives each of us different experiences......i can only say that i am glad that i did not have yours. my time around rave and the scene during the 90s took me on wild adventures across the world from India through to Peru Bolivia, Mexico and USA.......perhaps the two best were an overland journey from Austria to India as co driver and mechanic on board a truck with two smack heads and a smuggling boat that i crewed on from the Florida keys to Havana and back with a highly dodgy and well healed Italian American skipper......also had many other adventures traveling overland from Colorado down to Guatemala and back........like you i have written a book about my experiences it is called "Gypsy the gemdealer" and my writer name is Ivor Blimsworth. it is available on Amazon in three different formats and tells the story of my first ten years on the road from 79 to 89. am presently working on the next book "Gypsy and the guru of drugs sex and rock and roll".......... you are someone that it would be good to meet and share stories with. we are all older these days and have had to tame down some of our activities......these days my only adventures are my annual holidays in India where i borrow my bike back from my Indian friend and ride from Jaipur up into the Himalayas to Manali and Parvatti valley for harvest season or just to chill out during hot season.
Shaun if you would like a look inside of my life with a fun sound track in the background dial into the youtube search engine "morning ride from Amer to Jaipur" for a nice chopper ride through Indian traffic or "born to be wild on Sitar" for a hindi come dylan version of born to be wild [the dylan part being my questionable singing].......as i enjoy your videos and would like to meet you, after your experiences in USA i think that you likely would prefer India, you would certainly fit in with the older India travelers......i know people like you from the Goa crowd........i am presently banned from facebook so no point to give you my FB Identity but feel free to leave messages on my youtube pages...........interesting that you got into doing yoga while inside, i did a year and a half of it back in my 20s but then when i got to India looking for a teacher i ended up in a tantric ashram which was much more fun. still both involve meditation which is the key to ultimate liberation...........truth is with the meditations at the Tantric ashram was the meditations took you higher than ecstasy ever could but without the drained feeling afterwards.. it was an ashram where rave parties happened outside of the place........the focus was on heightened awareness and being in a state of meditation no matter what you may be doing. others there were doing Es but i was getting all of that plus more from the meditations. of course weed was always there, we all smoked it but that too is part of many of the tantric paths. the great thing in India is that there are still government licensed shops that sell bhang hash and weed for the holy men.
I didnt even know people smuggled gold, count me in
Sorry Michael but those days are now over.........back in the 20th century India used to have gold control and huge taxes on imported gold. the smuggling route used to first bring the gold into Nepal from Hong Kong and Bangkok by air and then across the Indian border by land at unmarked crossings through the jungle and lower flat lands. we used to get payed a tidy sum for being the mules into Kathmandu.........India is the world's number one buyer of gold as every Indian wedding involves large quantities of the stuff................Gems however are still profitable and relatively easy to smuggle as the money involved means high taxes but then you need to be an expert on the subject or your fingers most certainly will get burned. you need to be up to date with latest prices and know exactly what to buy. it is not easy and can involve much stress at all parts of the business.
And good on you for telling people what it's really like; they need to know.
"Need some backup, there's a prisoner here doing the half moon and he's scaring me"
what happens if you try to talk to someone outside your racial clique or your friends with someone who is a different race to you
Tried to keep low profile, does a headstand in front of the whole yard...
Shaun Attwood Can you do a clip on the "Prison Intelligentsia" ?
Ive been watching every vid u put, i love them and very fascinating, only went to locals so u went to real shit, thanks for vids man
I'm curious what riot involved the national guard? I spent three years working for AZDOC as a Correctional Officer and Sergeant and I can't recall hearing about that particular incident. As far I am aware, free weights were removed after an inmate used a weight bar like a baseball bat on another inmate. I even remember seeing security footage of the incident during training.
As for Buckeye, you're absolutely right. That yard was a nightmare for staff and inmates alike. I actually refused a promotion because I wouldn't work that shit hole.
Was there any mix ups with what race group someone should go in because there mixed race or something?
Max Taylor or what do the white guy dude when a Hispanic is white or black Hispanic or if Italian dude who is he with can’t be the whites
@@MESSI-fx1ob I'm pretty sure italian mobsters have ties with the aryean guys for when there guys go in but I could be wrong
Depends where you feel comfortable and are accepted..whites won't take anything but whites...they have a Car called Others which is Asians, Polynesian Indians and other minorities that are left out they seem to be left out of most things
Was wondering if being able to play an instrument like guitar or something would help you out in prison
Shaun Attwood Thanks Shaun, good to know. Just goes to show that you should never, ever listen to Jesus Christ
I doubt in america, but come to nordic countries and I bet there is full band room and stuff like that
Brilliant stuff!Thank God,the British jails aren't as bad!
Hey, I am just curious what would have happened if there would have been a tornado during your stay in prison?
I'll have to come back and watch the ret of your videos
shit... medium security sounds better than my job hahaha
Trying to be Low Key by doing Yoga in the prison yard...lol! ...that was a good story!
Where can I find Shaun talking about Arizona county jail
i have a question, why do they move you to all these different levels of prison? did you get in trouble or do they just ship random people off to varied levels of security. i always just assumed once you got to a prison they just left you there, to be honest i'd never make it in prison, half the side effects of autism would get me murdered within a month, lack of facial recognition (Prosopagnosia) lack of social understanding (social ques, hints, rules etc) lack of ability to lie(very direct, open and honest) high anxiety and extreme irritability and violent meltdowns when provoked, i would basically be unable to read peoples facial expression or respond correctly to manipulation or sarcasm, i would try and remove myself from anything or anyone that made me feel uncomfortable, if they followed me i would get upset and if they hurt me i would attack them back (interactions with the police as a child were always bad because they are usually morons and never respect anyone's boundaries)
luckily i was already known to have this issue so assaulting the police and teachers during a meltdown never resulted in any charges or i'd probably be in jail now i guess. i never leave my house because i'm afraid of having an episode and getting in trouble :( i guess i kind of am in prison, just has a bigger cell and no ones trying to harm me
Wheres Wildman
You were trying to keep a low profile by doing a headstand....
When I was younger the guys with big lats got mocked (never to their faces), because they looked like they were carrying a watermelon under each arm as they walked.
Also, do many prisoners get rickets from being so deprived of sunlight?
Hi Shaun, my name is Jason Vaughn. I spent two weeks in the Broward County jail for getting involved in an internet scam from Nigeria Africa. LOL after two weeks they realized I didn't know what I was doing when I got involved and they let me go completely. I never experienced anything like you talked about because I was only in county for 2 weeks. But I could kind of see that type of mentality just starting and how it could build up to a Maximum Security Prison situation. I have a question does anyone ever make it as a lone wolf in a prison situation like that especially maximum security? Thank you for your time and answering or maybe if it does not go in a video just kind of respond in a short version of how that works out if someone tries to do that. Thank you for your time and the videos are completely informative because I know nothing about the prison life. And God willing I never have to experience it.
@@shaunattwoodOFFICIAL Are these lone wolves more likely to be attacked because they have no backup, or less likely to be attacked because they are not in any gang, so they are not labeled as enemies by other gangs?
Do the English think we Americans have funny accents as the Americans think of the Brits? I've always wondered that.
What is the Art on your walls Shaun? Did you make it yourself or is it another artist? It's gorgeous
"cause I was doing some yoga" 🤣😂😂
How much did it cost you for protection? Each month or overall ?
Did you ever use recreation time to practice choreographed ribbon dance routines?
Shaun Attwood hahah just kidding. Love your vids man
420 Blaze Master seriously that was a joke right? That’s totally gay man.
My primo locked up in Lewis....max locked down i believe its Steiner unit

Did anyone ever join up and play things at recreation like football or basketball in big groups
What's the most regrettable thing you've done in prison?
sosh inside in england and exersize is a hour outside in england terms
Do you not get sunburned in that heat?
If you want to stay low profile don't do headstands 😂😂😂
”FOK THE GUARDS” xdddd
I love u Shaun!
how to be a real muthafuckin G in prison: do a head stand
Hey Shaun, did you ever see anyone cry in prison and if so what happens to them?
He's the person that cries in jail I know people he was locked up with and say he was treated like the biggest bitch ever

Shoutout Big Herc
Question is the still massive violence and shanks and that in minimum security and what about the uk?
The guards got like nun chucks they be doing indian burns...
Is there any other groups or programs that are offered in prison? I'm doing a student placement at a Canadian mens prison at a medium and minimum split facility as a recreation therapist and leisure counsellor. What suggestions do you have for groups and programs? and for a young female in a mens prison?
Do the guards listin to the phone calls?
You trying to keep a low profile and you fucking do a headstand in prison😂
Do u know benny Alvarez from tucson
unify prisons one at a time by placing a(not gay) yoga instructor😂
Is Tai Chi considered marshal arts, or like your yoga?
Hey Shaun, how many times did you get your tray taken from you?
What happened to all the money that you may... did you lose it..
Do you know if anyone has ever wrongly been smashed or worse because the inmates think theyre a chomo when theyre actually not?
Wow ive been to tuscon and the town is shitty, but the prison doesnt seem to great either 😂
When you went up on the roof did you think of jumping?
Anyone else noticed the Miraculous Ladybug picture to the left of Shaun?
I live in phoenix az
Hi Shaun, do you have a record in the UK? In other words, does the UK carry-over your crimes that were committed in the USA to their systems? Or do you have a clean slate in the UK? For example, in the US, you cannot be listed as an owner (director) of a company as a Felon. And felons also have other restrictions. Last question, then I'll shut-up, I heard that you are permanently banned from coming to the US, I thought one of your videos said you went to the US under certain pretenses or circumstances.
Is there a way to prove that you're not a chomo if someone who is out to get you spreads lies about you being one?
I think there's charge sheets, and someone on the outside can search your id number
Hi Shaun, cheers for answering all of these questions. ...when you talk about the different security levels, how come you went through all of the levels instead of the level being constant?
U rarely get it in jail.in prison its alot better unless u are in max
I've heard that when you're brand new, someone (of your own race) tells you that everyone kicks in some money or commisary 'for the kitty.'
Is that a scam that should be refused, or is that sometimes a legitimate rule?
Shaun Attwood - So you're not just being taken advantage of?
*tries to keep a low profile*
*does a headstand*
This guy sure likes jail. lol. Did you have a Recreation Therapist at your prison? what did they do with the inmates?
Oh boy
I went to prison in Florence Arizona it was terrible I got smashed every day
What’s the most pingers ya dunct in one go
