About Capitalism
Henry Rollins traverses 50 states with a politically-themed talk show, culminating with an election-eve performance in Washington D.C. on November 5th. This two-month tour will stop in each state capital -- starting September 6 at Hawaiian Brian's in Honolulu, HI, venturing through places like the Diamond Ball Room in Oklahoma City, T.F. Riggs High School in Pierre, South Dakota and ending up in Washington, D.C., Henry's hometown. Henry's latest tour offers not so much a voting guide, but an unveiling of Henry's very own political viewpoint -- an unflinching quest for truth.

Henry currently hosts a weekly radio show on L.A.'s renowned NPR affiliate KCRW, and is a regular contributor to VanityFair.com with his "Straight Talk Espresso" blog.

Direct from the Death Chambers | Henry Rollins' Capitalism: Jefferson City, Missouri | TakePart TV
There used to be geese, or ducks walking around the main yard. I asked, " do any of the prisoners mess with them ", the guard said nope, " it's the closest to pets they have in here " ! If someone was to harm one, he could end up dead, real easy !!! I thought that was cool, and made sense.
I was there in 99 very scary place. Lots of killings.
Great interview, very thoughtful thank you for sharing this.
Great upload. Enjoying this series.
My grandfather transported tiny mercer to the state penitentiary
Tiny was a real piece of crap, the girl he murdered was was a nice kid, the other low rent thugs that helped him got away. Donald Wyrick always told Tiny he would smile when he went to his death.
Hurray! We were hoping it would make the show a little more user friendly.
Man. Both the prison and the Miller Performing Arts Center within 3 blocks of my work. And I didn't know you were coming. A big regret for me, Mr. Rollins. Keep fighting the good fight.
In the mid-late 80's I lived right across the street from the main prisoner gate. Used to watch it all the time. There were a lot of escapes at that time ! I took a tour back then through there, and unknown to us, it was part of a scared straight program. I was in my mid 20's, and didn't need to be there, but it was cool, and scary at the same time. Smelled like really strong bleach, pine sol, and piss ! I have a tat of the wall, designed by an ex prisoner, while he was in there. That's what they called that prison, " the wall ". My brother was in there a while, as were many old friends. Not the place in Missouri you wanted to do time at. I'm told the worst prisoners were housed there, by ex prisoners. I grew up in jeff city.
Literally what did you even say there
@@Ushygushy103 I give you real first hand history and experience, and you play willful ignorant ? That’s on you. I can’t think for you. Do you read a book and call the author too ? I gave, you take, or not. Up to you. That was the dumbest question I’ve heard so far Hanna.
Rollins is such a holmo. Maybe he should do an episode on the friend that he shot.
The last person Missouri put to death by gas was Lloyd Anderson. He was sentence to death for being the one who shot and killed my Grandmother's 15 year old brother who was a delivery boy for a local drug store in 1961. Lloyd's last words were tell Warren (the states governor) to kiss his a** and that he didn't get a fair trial. I don't believe Lloyd was the one who killed my grandmother's brother. He definitely didn't get a fair trial.
the shorter promo is very welcome!
Finally a single person who doesn’t clout chase being a mo state pen inmate
What about the people that killed their victims did they have a chance in the say-so no?
I did time in that place.
Haha, I live in Jeff City, great city
Do you think the high school there is a good school
Bravo mr. Rollins I knew you were a higher thinker... United States and capital punishment any capital punishment very very wrong....
Looked different when it was going ! They took out buildings, and parts of the wall.
Went there in 2005. Did NOT know it was closed. As we came off Lafayette Street and around the corner there was a huge hole in the wall! Walked in to a construction trailer and woke the guy inside. (sorry!) asked to see the gas chamber (this is before there were tours) he had the guy come down from the Capitol( made it sound like a big deal but the capitol is three blocks away,LOL) Guy comes down opens it up and you freeze when you walk in the building. I lingered at the door of the Chamber for a while then went in and sat in Chair 1 (the one with the headrest) looked up at the mirror and the lady friend at the time thought it would be funny to close and seal the door on me as the guy from the capitol tapped on the window and threw the big red lever. and yes there IS a bang as the tray hits the crocks under the chair. There is a lot of room inside the chamber. I thought it would be more compact. I learned later that the guy that pulled the lever on me was the actual executioner for the State of Missouri. (Yikes) after some conversation, (I worked DOC in MS where WE had a gas chamber as well) I was given one of the crocks from under the chair ( a spare stored in the cell next to the death watch cell) and it sits in my man cave as an ashtray. Engraved on the crock is MISSOURI STATE PRISON GAS CHAMBER CHAIR 2. To my knowledge this is the only chamber in the US that WASNT made by Eaton Metals of Colorado. The delivery system is different than the others have. And oddly enough the metal chair you sit in is somewhat comfortable to sit in. Never mind the fact 40+ men and one woman DIED in that chair. All in all a little paint and clean up and that device would look good as new.
@@whiteranger6655 I lived across the street from the real main doors/gate used, just down from the show main entrance. The whole neighborhood would go on lockdown anytime a prisoner escaped.
@@67cuda38 i managed to get a pic in the chamber and outside of the wall where the Missouri State Penitentiary sign was, next to the Admin office with the stained glass over the doorway. Thats all gone now. something about old prison structures you know? That And I studied DP for 30+ years got to know a few lever throwers and then went on to work at Parchman MS where we have a Gas Chamber and removed 4 prisoners using it in the late 80's and early 90's. Knew Don Cabana (who worked at Jeff City) Bill Armontrout and still maintain contact with Fred Leucheter who came down to retrofit the chamber for the lethal injection of Tiny Mercer.
@@whiteranger6655 I lived about 5 houses down, across from the door and gate the guards and work release used. Hard place to breathe. Piss, Lysol, and pinesol so strong it was hard to get your breath. I wouldn’t have lasted, lol !
We're all getting old.
isnt he the guy that made that video Im a liar?
Killing is wrong so let's needlessly kill even though we often get it wrong...
Killing is wrong so when all the people who were murderd by these low lives are back with their loved ones then we won’t have to kill them
That's pretty ass-backwards bro.
Wrong swastika 😂...or right, depending on the message whoever put it up there was trying to send lmao
henry's getting old
