Prison is fun... to watch
Facts! Only To Watch !
Until u in it
It's not even fun the watch I mean remember the blood splatters at 1:50?
Yeah not even fun to watch.
Each from the outside .
Many of these prisoners go back because they get institutionalized. Kinda like the military you learn to adapt to the environment and in a way enjoy it. I would like to have stayed in the army for life if it wasn't for my family I would be in now
Rehabilitation my ass. Sounds more like gladiator school to me.
Been in jail for 6 months it feels like i've been for hundred years was hard...
You out bro?
spent all my 20s in there. Feels like 50 years
I did 7 years in prison and was released when i was 23. Since then my name was on the Presidents list for making all A's and having a 4.0 GPA. I have earned my AAS Degree in Computer Information Systems Technology, Certificate of Proficiency in Computer Programming, Certificate of Proficiency in Web Design ( Designed Web Site for the city ), and a Microsoft Office Certificate. I put my resume on Monster and 2 company's called in one week. I have a DBA job offer so think I will take it.
cap
OK buddy
Hey if this did happen great job. There are some success stories
I was in prison for 5yrs and I got my G.e. d and learned a vocational skill..and I was one of the few who didn't join a gang
I saw a woman sentenced to 30 years for holding a pound of meth (in Texas). She obviously deserved punishment for holding a POUND OF METH! But 30 years?? She's now in her 5th year of incarceration, finished her GED, attends church every Sunday and spreads the word to anyone who will listen to stay away from dope. She's already served 5 years so tell me (with a straight face) why her serving another 20+ years does anybody any good? Also, her children are growing up without a mother...
OMG :(
In the outside world, one might not have time to study (work, TV, snacks, going out, etc.). But in prison, however, one has nothing BUT time! All the distractions that are so prevalent in the outside world simply aren't there.
Seeing how proud they were when they graduated choked me up...foreal foreal
4realzeez ?
i stay out of prison by watching videos like these
There's more drug addicts and drug dealers in prison than murderers and rapists. Most of the people incarcerated are in prison for nonviolent offenses.
give them teddy bears to snuggle with.
Sad to say my uncle did 2 years in prison for multiple DUI's. When he was released he was 10 times worse. Tatted up everywhere, and just had a fucked up mind state.
Needless to say I haven't seen him in years though.
LosAngelesFresh1 multiple bruh had have at least 5
DUI?? Must have been a labor camp unless he had priors. They won't put you up with the big boys for DD, unless he hurt somebody.
Education about life, violence/other HS or college subjects, job training all well worth it. People that don't want their state to fund these or other programs are mis-guided. Also reward good behavior with more freedoms. Use more psychological counseling, one-on-one or group therapy, medication or anything to treat psychosis and lessen violence during their stay and if they get out.
No.
Your absolutely right, we do worship these kinds of people. We view deviance as something cool and interesting, not as something grotesque and despicable. How are we to show our children violence and sex in the theaters and on our television screens without facing the repercussions. We definitely worship rappers and businessmen, and thats because we have lost our values and principles. We're pretty much a nation made up of greeds, predators, and stupids, with a small dose of intelligents.
How about rehabilitating all of the Politicians in the country first. The hypocrisy is too much to bare.
@tellpipe11 And dont forget there is an alarming increase in private "for profit" prisons being opened by private corporations. They even have lobbyists, lobbying for stricter laws and more enforcement to increase prisoners populations that ultimately equals profits to them.
You Can Never Stop Gangster FTW.
Many criminals actually lost their chance to live in normal lives because of their bad records.
How about let's separate the criminals who committed drug-related crimes and other felonies, and provide educations separately?
I was on the dean's list and thought I had did something wrong. Haha.
get yourself a job even one for 6$ an hour or the system will get you one for 25c an hour...YOU CHOOSE
No, that was most of the rest of my family, including one that spent two terms in a state penitentiary.
I agree with you OurBleuTube some people have no sense! Unless you have had a loved one in prison or been there yourself you really have no idea the confusion, anger and pain a place like that can cause.
i couldnt agree more.
how many people would be free if pot was just legal ?
3:45 what up Wood
I am confused as to the whole mentality behind gang control these guys are in prison cuz they can't follow rules of society so there are gang leaders generals and soldiers who dictate the rules of engagement
2021
This is wickedness! GOD have mercy 🥺 🙏
Prevent not punish
I got a friend in admax colorado. In supermax situations, its like that 24/7. Solitary is a totally different situation there. But no, for the record i have not been to prison, and hope i never do have to go, I learned from the people around me, and am on a different path.
that sucks seems like prison does more damage than good for harden crimanals
Some comments I see cry about prison environment.Everyone knows what gets you into prison and everyone behind bars knew what got them there and chose to ignore that when committing their crime
These guys arguing against prisons, private or not, obviously have never been victimized, attacked or abused by anybody and have a false perception that nobody is evil, the world is a peaceful place and would rather cater to criminals than hold them accountable for their behaviors. This in turn creates entitled criminals of course, because people like them treat criminals like victims and tell them how the system and society OWES them something!
So just out of curiosity worldwanderer91, what if a member of YOUR family just so happened to commit one the offenses you stated above? Just curious. Like the old saying goes "NEVER SAY NEVER!"
Yes but some people went through a lot and that's the only thing they know. I see your side and the other side as well.
When you house the worst of the worst together you get the worst of the worst
@Nicodeme001 you spelled failure wrong.
Well i'm not familiar with Aramark so i'll take your word on it, but there are plenty of prisons that cost less than 1 dollar a day to feed the inmates. The contract with Aramark needs to be changed.
Oh yea I was locked up for Aggravated Robbery.
Now I am getting ready to start my career as a MySQL DBA using Linux for the OS and PHP for my front end programming. It is up to the person to change but if I was only locked down and not allowed to have books and get a computer :) I'm not sure what my major would have been when I was released. Hmm while I was in there I read computer programming books and studied for the ACT. Lol I was ahead of all of the programming students and understood more.
I got to get those off my chest... How do we expect them to reform if we put them into places like that?
either that or they find you and put into isolation or solitary confinement
where the hell is half the audio?
In the Tamaulipas prisons, Cartel Del Golfo is the only one with power....
What about Northen Alaska or Syberia??
Being isolated in a small room for years would make anyone crazy. WHen they get out they will come after you.
@tgz1000 Even druggies can be dangerous man . Im a correctional officer and i tell ya , many druggies are forced into being violent just to survive the line .
@randy109 You are so right! I agree 100%!!!!
only way to stop crime and stop criminals is to stop them before they happen and stop criminals before they become criminals, jails do not stop crime
obviously prison doesn't work, so how do we punish inmates and not make them worse when they leave prison?
are you in the infantry? because they do need tuff ppl, not college boys who will run in a firefight
Use more DISCRETION when sentencing! Quit locking people up for spitting on a side-walk or farting in public.
LeanCuts:
So your saying that people don't have the ability to change? even if they want too.
I dout people who commit those crimes are thinking "hay I'ma gonna commit this crime just for the hell of it"
no there are reasons behind it and we need to get to the bottom of them.
I'm not saying you can force people to change but we should at least put them into an environment were we can help them change
At the end when the narrator remarks about how most end up back in, well, not a lot of people are aware of just how truly easy it is to go back. You don't have to be found guilty of anything, just being CHARGED with a crime and it's back to Corcoran homie. Or folsom, or Tehachapi, or wherever.
@tgz1000 true that man.. u also gotta look at the situation...wrongly accused... or things like that... u can probably find a lot of good people in there..
were u ever in prison? just wondering
Well clearly that are not rehabilitating - why do they get the chance of education etc etc when so many others don't??
Locking them and throwing away the key seems like a good idea for most (not all!) of them...
=)
2021🥺
They are NOT doing programs for re-entry. They get the grants and funding.... but it doesn't happen...maybe bare minimum.
-continued- Does locking up drug offenders truly make society "safer"? Is the million plus dollars spent keeping a person behind bars for 20 years make more sense than using that same money for treatment and rehab centers? Give 'em a year or two behind bars so they are punished for the damage done by their bad choices, but lengthy sentences serve no purpose whatsoever.
Migos run da prisons get up with us Holmes
Ben in jail for some time ...it wasn't fun ....this give me flashbacks
America truly is a prison nation and this show shows it
what will happen to a person whose hand is cut off?
he will be unable to function in any job and thus become a beggar.
no system is perfect. but cutting off limbs will not solve any problem. think about it!
MSNBC did one on a North Carolina women's prison but for the most part they are not violent enough to be interesting.
New Zealand is slowly decreasing Prison size and increasing rehabiltation services... Although I think America's problem is ALOT larger than our small island nation...
These people should be locked up
II was there - the hut is heavy статейная
Robbers, murderers within the precincts of a square
There are no cormorants, hooligans, addicts
Here on large, instead of for a plan heel
Fifty-kopeck piece of prisoners with heavy affairs
Wait for a sentence behind iron doors
Pending how many hundreds days will give to you
How many nervous cages in you will erase
@TEHWEEZY There's illegal, and then there's wrong. The two are not the same. Just because something is illegal does not make it wrong.
u say that until someone in your family(or friend) gets locked up
W.S.P here. Ran with the Hoop. Where my native and API at.
No they didn't. The triads are still there.
@springmasskid92
I see. I think you're right. I forgot about the fact that lil wayne was a super rich.
Why would you not want to go back to prison? you probably won't be able to find a job, losing 15+ years of your life, your only "friends" are other prisoners, unless your outside friends forgive you.
I guess studies by the American Sociological association, Institution for Higher Education Policy, US Department of Education, UC Berkeley, ...a Princeton University study said education was the single most effective tool in lower recidivism, but I'm sure they have no clue. The University of California, Los Angeles Department of policy studies would disagree...oh wait they discovered that it decreases recidivism and it is twice as cost effective. Who's best interest are you looking out for?
yes and the guards laugh at it and dont help
yes hopefully, or he could use another account under a diffrent name
lol nice, maybe we should actually do that
o cuz i just wanted to be 100% sure if i would be safe if i ever get into prison
Well, not yet. On my way to become an intelligent. Still in college. But thats beside the point. I do realize that we must be able to discriminate between first time offenders and multiple offenders. I also believe our Justice system sucks, and needs to revamped. I do believe some offenders can be rehablitated, but alot more just abuse the system, claiming that they've been rehabilitated and then go out and commit more crimes. More emphasis on rehabilitation for juveniles, definitely.
my bro was in prison
and came out buff as hell
you bragin or complaining
County jails are a whole other story..Just think before you speak. Everything you say or don't say has an impact. Make sure it spreads the right message.
It really is sad..And don't forget about the GOOD COs that have have to watch it. The bad cos start problems and use it as there personal entertainment. Alot of times people have to stay in prison or jail because they can't get bond for whatever reason until the case is resolved and the system is slow, unorganized, for profit, and lawyers are
these sleepingrooms!!It´s the hell!!!!!!!
here in Denmark prison is more like vacation, nothing like in u.s. and the longest punishment u can get is 15 yrs, and with good behavior ull get it down to 7 years.
i was only in for 5 days, but i learned to make wine and a shank
At first glance, a seemingly good solution, however, with respect I submit that work camps are nothing more than legal slavery. History repeats itself. In the south, work camps were common in the fifties and sixties. Even minor offenses were met with work-camp time, and typically, there was no impetus (no motivation) for prisons to release inmates because of ONE CHIEF THING: CHEAP or NO-COST LABOR. This cannot and should NEVER be allowed to repeat itself. Never.
@Tippet76 If everyone was able to exercise their right to bare arms ... it would prevent a lot of the crime in America and citizens can eradicate the crime & prison problem. Would you rather be judged by 12 or carried by 6 pallbearers? Criminals should know crime can cost them their life.
stop putting so many people in prison. more than 2 million americans are in prison. Here in the netherlands there are 7 times less prisoners per capita than in the US.
prison dont teach rehabiltaion my uncle got out and he drinks and smoke more than before and hes even lasier
why do the users get off so easy all the time? The drug dealers are just giving them what they want >.>
reminds me of michael scofield
dont people know that drugs and guns come into America, because the government allows them too. its not that hard to figure out.
Interesting idea. Unfortunately, a Happy Meal or Big Mac a day everyday (for the duration of one's sentence or some equally unhealthy food for the vegetarians and vegans) would eventually lead to health problems too, right? How much more would tax dollars go into providing health care?
I wonder if inmates convicted of violent crimes and who have food allergies are ever "accidentally" given tainted food.
"What?! I swear I didn't know Wilson was allergic to peanuts!"
Since prison is racially divided where do you go if you’re biracial or mixed?
DayMinRay you pick a side to to roll with
You have apsolutely no reason to hate them
Which they WANT...
@kdavidmcd What are you talking about? I didnt say it had to be right or wrong. Illegal is still illegal and you deal with the consequences they set
what happend to baconrobocop
Alot of you have no clue what its all about. You see movies and that's what you 'know'. It's more complicated than you think. Yes some are just plain bad people but not all (maybe 50/50). Alot are just lost souls but they have more humanity, understanding, and courage than you'd think..There is more than just one story Not all are cold blooded serial killers. Did you know some people are in prison for life because back in the 50's and 60's had a gram of pot?
@sai18kit Thank You! Someone who actually sees the truth for what it is... That is part of the problem with this country. We are putting people in jail for virtually NOTHING and most people don't even realize how profitable it is. I can't remember all the stats but one of them was 35% of all office furniture made in America was made in prisons! I'm going googling to find those stats...
some of the most good looking guys are in prison ...what a shame.....but they get what they get.
Here is a better program:
Any prisoner looks tough and gang kind, put them in separate facility where police officers beat them up for any wrong move. and force them to study, if they don't study , they get beaten up. this way, they won't graduate as gangstas,
provide an option for anyone serving more than 10 years to get the death penalty, that way, people who just has nothing to lose, can choose the option and leave others who want to live or change their life.
Your prison is like sumer camp to thai and indonesian prisoner.
