Yo I had to use some audio software to turn down the dramatic music so I can understand what they are saying with out waking everyone in the top 3 floors of the apartment.
Go backs couple hundred years and start reenforcing the treatment for criminals that way quit pampering them and take càre of more important issues and they won't end up that way
Lol you know you're broke when an inmate has $100 and you don't.
Lol ikr. Yep 👍🏻

Prison is like a really dangerous high school without the classes.
Sanjok Gurung - I Don’t know when YOU went too High School?!! But when I went too High School I had a Blast! Of Course we had the High School Cop even in the 80’s but We always had an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING time, doing more partying than school work, but there was no way I was going too school for 12 years without getting my diploma! Unlike many of my friends who were far too smart🙄 dropped out, regretted it, and most ended up going back to finish later in life anyway?! So the morale of the story IS, stay in school, these are the BEST YEARS OF YOUR LIFE, it doesn’t get any better!!! You are NOT SMARTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE, you are only doing yourself a disservice by not finishing your High School, and getting your GED. Life only gets more difficult without it, at the VERY LEAST, you need too finish High School. Nowadays, you should know how too do math, without a calculator, and be able too spell, though things are of the utmost importance. So start practicing People, since the teachers aren’t teaching it, do it for yourself. Learning is essential. God Bless Everyone 🙏🏼
My jr. High school was fun but like jail.. We had guns,drugs,gangs & violence. No early teenager should know what thats like....it was like a prelude to the real world thats waiting

They just add more time to your stay
Like many Police, I got my start in Corrections. I met a guy on the job for almost 30 years and knew it wasn't for me. Prison is full of guys who would kill to get out. No way I would intentionally give myself a life sentence for a tiny pension. I left a month later.
@@josephkowalczyk7459 Reading comprehension is hard for some. I didn't leave Police. I left Corrections to be Police.
9:38 was a huge mistake, never take your eyes off someone hostel especially someone that close to you and in prison. CO got lucky that guy was a poser and not the real deal.
Sometimes I feel bad about my life, then I watch this and know at least I’m not there.
Honestly its really not that bad its wat u make of it. 1 thing for sure its booriiing. Dont gamble cut habits dont get involved wit gangs but make sure u stick w your race in times of riots cuz doin nothin can be a bad thing

Mother of every inmate: He was such a nice boy, he was going to go to medical school before they arrested him.
Medical school?
Very unlikely. A lot of parents realize their kids are troublemakers and they usually start presenting the behavior way before they get out of high school for the person they’re going to be. It really depends. Some parents will enable their kids but others are completely aware they are making bad decisions

Some individuals rehab themselves. You have a better idea what to do with violent people?
Were else you gonna put them? Make them nursery school teachers? Dumb comment.
I feel bad for the inmates that don’t do anything and they still get in trouble because of the other inmates
Military is like that too. Mass punishment.
especially the people who had to deal with that tear gas
you got snap?
Yeah I agree. I get why they do it but still it kinda sucks
Korey Gates simp
I work at a prison and every now and then I’ll work our gang unit that we have and the one thing you do not do is let the gangs mingle with other gangs because as seen in the video a fight can break out but it can result in something more dangerous than in the video
Cant imagine non gang individuals went into prison and need to go through them its must be tough
“Don’t step on my bed” isn’t putting up a fight. That’s just disrespectful.
Sure
He was yelling at the officer though
@@shive8492 for stepping on his bed. If I put on some dirty boots and walked on your bed would you be upset?
He’s in prison, not a luxury hotel. Personally I wouldn’t give them a bed 🤷🏼♀️

Man seriously

Profiling at 1:20
1:28 tell me that doesn't look like shane from the walking dead
Joker owes him 25 Jason owes him 100 These guys owe him that much money for whatever drugs hes providing I mean .....he could be tutoring
Drawing on envelopes, doing ilc courses, law work, making shine, poker, personal trainer, bleaching whites etc etc yup not always dope
Exactly not every inmate is a drug dealer he could be selling food or what you guys said
Justin Grant crazy how when I read this I got to that point in the vid
He’s dealing with dc
He may not be dealing drugs but he dealing $100 bills an there ain't no money press in jail.
That prisoner at 4:40 to the left sitting down with his arms cross is like “just another day in NMCD STATE”😂🤣
Lmao why is he so chill
H A H A - He’s been through that before
Because it is...
He's so done 😂
LMFAO
If you are in prison and still throwing up gang signs or plotting with others to hurt another inmate, you need to be put down permanently because you do NOT want to change.
Gang signs is all some of them got once they're put in prison, they have all the time in the world and nothing productive to do man what do you expect the outcome to be?
Bruh you aint got a choice in prison. It's legit how the system was built lmfao
In the max You need to bring your boots and your shank into a shower and a buddy to make sure you ain’t gonna get raped or beaten in the black spot where there aren’t cameras, Prison isn’t this world We live in you don’t get any sorry for crying and no one cares why you’re in there unless you’re a chomo or a woman and child killer. you don’t go in anothers cell and you don’t even look in their cell,cuz if their doing drugs or something illegal they’ll wanna put you on their list. You people see monsters who want to hurt people I see man who joins a gang because he wants protection and brotherhood, loyalty at any cost. It’s just how it is in there man
Dude let the cameras make him act out . He was quick to put his hands behind his back

Dude actually said "I don't need this." Like bro, your in jail."
They locked the "ex-sureño" with the other sureños. Isn't he going to get like hurt or something...he may be lying but eh
No because the "ex-sureno" is not an actual "ex", he might not be active anymore but it doesnt mean hes an "ex". Unless hes a PC'd up inmate and/or a marked man inside, but I mean I can say I'm not a sureno just to go home on time when in reality I am one. In prison and jail, you're either a sureno or a paisa for us Mexicans or a norteno in some states. You gotta choose who you're gonna ride with and even if a paisa gets attacked the sureno has to back him up.
flaka13lks not really Chicano and Pisa’s don’t get along in prison. Do some real time and see for your self
They do get along and yes I've done jail time and for us women it's way different than for guys but I have my husband in County right now and I know that paisas and surenos do get along, they're both Raza so if a riot breaks out theres no going with the blacks.

“And there was a little bit of tension” Kicks locker
I used to work as security in corrections and It can be very dangerous but for the most part do your job without letting it get to your head and treat inmates fair that way most likely you wont get hurt. I always told myself "I am just security I came here to keep the public, coworkers and inmates safe, not here to judge they have already been judged"
4:59 The other CO had to come get a spray in after the first one, plus his hands are clearly up lol
All I can say These officers has-very hard and risky duty . May God protect them and guide those prisoners to right path too . Ameen

definitely not for the faint hearted. A lot of these men in the prison system are in there for life or are repeat offenders and end up back in because of the gangs they are devoted too. It keeps you locked in the service of the gang to sell drugs kill someone or take care of a family member. These guys have nothing to lose...

Inmates make the best of their situation and as long as you can play the game you will be okay. CO's have to live in prison for 12 hours plus and go home and deal with everything for the other 12.
