He also wrote a book about his unfortunate prison experience. It was a very difficult book to read. Hopefully young men getting into trouble will read it and turn their life around.
It shouldn't need courage and there's no need to be ashamed. He was overwhelmed, there's nothing he could have done to fight his way out of if, and there's nothing he did to make it happen. It's no more shameful than being shot or someone breaking your nose. The shame is all on the people who do it.
Been to prison myself. As long as you're laid back, stick to your group, don't join gangs, and don't start shit with others, you will more than likely be fine. If someone tries to cross you, you MUST ALWAYS be assertive and fight back. Respect is EVERYTHING on the inside. You cannot let any affront to you slide, no matter how small. If you let one small thing slide, it will make you a future target.
Well put. Been there too. Always stand up for yourself and be willing to fight. There are predator's, prey, and dudes doing their own time and minding their own business. The deal is to be the latter. And also someone the predator's know not to f**k with.
I had a client who told me about his experience in Prison.... 5 years for murder (I think he served three), and he said generally the same thing. He was about 25 if I remember correctly. He learned how to become invisible. He was a small black young man who was better educated than most and had been in no trouble before the murder. He had just snapped due to a lot of mental abuse by his girlfriend AND exhaustion from work. The jury gave him probation but the probation department and the judge just looked for a reason to revoke him. He has done OK after prison.
@@jerryneal9006 How about if you can't? If the attacker is much larger, heavier, stronger than you? Or there are two, three etc. of them against you on your own?
Prison is a place of such contradictions. Convicts claim they hate child molesters but a child doesn't last 24 hours without being raped among them, by them.
Except that people do not go to prison because they heard it’s fun. Tell me who doesn’t know about m2m prison rape. This is why well meaning people with no relevant education or experience need to be quiet. That’s how DARE burned millions of dollars with no results. You might want to believe that your idea has merit, but you’re an evil person if you prioritize what you wish was true over reality. No, that absolutely will do nothing to prevent a kid from crime. This topic has been discussed plentifully for over 20 years, how did you learn nothing??? Do you even know what method of prevention marketing is the only one to show any results? Do you know what the top 5 most influential factors are in determining who ends up in prison? Do you even know what I’m talking about? Why dear god would any of you weigh in? Do you tell NASA how much fuel you think a rocket needs? You have no expertise and even suggesting this dumbassery tells me you don’t care if you waste all the money, you don’t want society to improve, you just want to do nothing & find a way to congratulate yourselves.
it wont help, theyll just bravado it away and keep on keeping on, remember back then how it felt to be immortal and indestructible.... until life proved you wrong?
Your absolutely correct. Unfortunately though the people that run this corrupt business feel like that should be part of a punishment for inmates. How is punishment for a rapist when he is still acting out his sick fantasies in prison with no punishment ? Rape in prison is even a joke in mainstream media, and movies.
It's mostly because of the Brothas. They are 20 times more likely to do this 😢 It's because of a combination of higher testosterone levels and low impulse control
I've been to prison I was willing to absolutely anything to prevent this from happening. But fortunately there were really good people in prison who hated rapists of any kind. And they pointed out the people who I should avoid.
Same! I had quit a few bros from the streets in there already and none of that was tolerated. Seen a couple gunners get knotted up with batteries and ran out the barracks. I was never approached like that but I don't come off as an easy push over neither.
Dude I agree. I met some great friends in prison and it became easy to spot the slime bags and cowards. I even actually stood up for people a couples times despite telling myself that was a bad idea. I tried to be patient and understanding and it became easy and I saw a lot of good in seemingly 'bad' people.
Yeah, the disgusting hypocrisy how often you hear "inmates don't take kindly to rpists", yet quite a few of them actually are that themselves inside it.
@@justinjackson4073 What happens to asians in prison? Did you see any when you was locked up? I 'm thinking if the mufcka is small and has a girlish vibe / look about him, he gets preyed upon. Some horny mufcka makes him grow his hair long, wear daisy dukes, fruit punch powder lipstick and changes his name to suzy wong or some sh t like that and makes him give him massages and cook his ramen.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 it all depended on the person. I seen all kinds of dudes bitch out and become a punk but I also seen dudes stand up for own and be just fine. They wasn't swole up or badasses for the most part and they had no real connections that mattered. They were just men and handled their own and they did just fine as far as I knew.

Go into prison for armed robbery with a child’s toy gun, leave prison the victim of gang rape. He came out with more trauma than he came in with, how is anybody supposed to get a fresh start and make better choices when they’re more broken when they came in? Looking at the man I can see he has his life together now, but my heart breaks for what he went through as a young man.
@@ZRBx4 Two wrongs don’t make a right - the inevitable result of crime has to be some form of curtailing of personal freedoms and rehabilitation. Truly, as much as I know there are evil humans who I would happily see suffer - SA can’t ever be the way of doing that, because the person committing that act is turning themselves into that same monster capable of doing something like that. If it’s another monster, but someone who is twisted in the usual criminal way has no qualms about tearing their soul further to punish someone who has committed acts far worse to those who are totally innocent - I don’t see any moral dilemma about letting one monster destroy another. It’s like the rubbish is taking itself out. But for something like an attempted armed robbery? That is an awful thing to do and that is a traumatic thing to put someone through. It isn’t monstrous enough to deserve Big Bubba, almost nothing is monstrous enough to justify that.
@@generalpurpose772 hello there! I was not arguing 2 wrongs make a right. I simply stated if you wanna dabble in the life, you consent to all that may come with it. That person was lucky they didn’t get smoked when robbing with a fake gun. Prison/jail is wild. I do believe the system is faulty. I feel bad for the truly innocent people who get caught up in mistakes. That’s a tragedy.
Well if you ever have to do some hard time, I would strongly advise you to not snitch inform or whatever else you want to call it. Prison isnt high school.
This documentary makes it look easy to report but ask anyone in the system how difficult it is. Often times the CO's are part of the problem because they're in on the violence.
From the sounds of some of the prisons, the CO's are absolute demons compared to these police officers people are freaking out about. Why can't the families and friends on the outside get together and start pushing to investigate and sue the correctional officers for allowing rape or stabbings.
I was thinking the same thing. That n the other inmates do see it as snitching. Should not tell other inmates what's happening either. You'll be a punk then to them.
It's sickening that the government puts people in such jeopardy of being assaulted in this manner. No matter what the prisoner has been convicted of, their punishment is a predetermined period of incarceration which does not include being assaulted. The prison system has a responsibility to keep inmates safe.
There are no words adequate to convey my admiration for a man who could turn such personal suffering into a life devoted to helping others avoid such cruelty as he had to experience.
The guy who introduced the video shocked me with that one liner about his gang rape victim experience more than what the serving prisoners shared. Takes a strong man to survive that shit, acknowledge and deal with it psychologically and then to help others mitigate the potential for that to happen.
Lol wut? You can accept things as a loan if you actually pay it back lol. You're already thinking "what's he finna do when he finds out I intent to never pay back lol".
I know it’s completely different from prison and also I’m a female but we all shared/gave away our stuff all the time. I was going thru heroin withdrawals so some girls offered me their Advils, and I was only gonna be in for 4 days so I was also offered shower supplies since I wouldn’t be in long enough to get commissary. And since you have zero appetite while in w/d’s, I gave away my food allll the time. Well, more like girls would see most of my food was uneaten and ask if they can have it to which I always said sure. Then when it was finally time to get out, I gave away all my supplies to the other girls in my pod. Never once did anyone expect something back; we gave and took freely and accordingly. Got help and gave help without expectations. God, I love being female lol
This is actually such an incredibly empowering video. I am so glad sexual abuse prevention measures can be made in such an accessible and heartfelt way. this has definitely helped SO many people, and I’m really impressed with this prison’s response to this crisis.
I was over here bored at home when I heard him say “I was gang raped” Am enjoying being “bored”at home from now on...no need to interact with humans who could send you to prison.
Exactly!! We need to show teens alot of videos like this. So, they KNOW REALITY!! .....Not a bunch of fake thug life on media, online, Hollywood, Sports, All star, etc. Many kids, teens, even young adults are not afraid of going to jail or prison. Only cuz most have NEVER even gone to an actual jail or sub station.
This guy is a complete proverbial bad ass, for havng the courage and will, to explain what happened to him, so that others can avoid it. People, like these, are the ones who keep our world, from being any worse than it is.
This world needs more men like T.J. People don't realize how many men, too, are victimized. Most of them push it deep down and take out their rage on others... or sadly end their own lives. This man spoke out in such a brave and healing way. I pray more men feel safer in this society to be vulnerable and share their experiences for the GOOD of others. God bless this man
This is vital information. My ex went to prison at a young age and he was never the same... he passed away almost 30 years ago. There are trolls in the comment section; they are obviously either not secure enough to show amy vulnerability or they are predators who want to establish/maintain a culture of shame and secrecy - don't let their proclivities affect your mindset; these are not people with morals, empathy or honor and have nothing to offer.
An inmate came to my high school and alluded to the possibility of being raped. That was enough to make me think that I never want to go to jail, much less prison.
That guy T.J. Parsell wrote a book about his experiences in prison. I read it not long ago and the things he described were absolutely horrific. It's so admirable to see him use his experiences to help others entering the same situation.
I was in prison and I stopped two men from being raped, I was against that kind of stuff, most men in prison are, and I know a lot of guys still doing time that would help anyone from this happening to
Big Ups to the incarcerated men in this video, especially the man who exhibited courage in admitting he was gang raped and sought to educate new ones on how not to be a victim. Great video!
Hmm, that might require taking one's head OUT of of one's behind to start with? Probably easier said than done, because given all I know (or THINK I know), sticking my head up my "four pointed contact" CAN be an escape of sorts....As far as the "smell"?? No problem....I can tolerate the smell of my OWN lower digestive tract more than I can tolerate the smell of other's. 🤣🤣
There should be separate facilities for violent versus non-violent offenders.... but that would require more effort than any state is willing to put in.
Believe it or not but the adult part of jails and prisons are far less worse than the younger kids jails and prisons. For the most part the adults just wanna get it over with and go home but the kids are way more violent and use their time proving they are the hardest kids in the facility (pause). Especially in places like Rykers Island 🤦🏿♂️
I partially disagree. Violent Teenaged murderers, child molesters deserve to be put there. For petty crimes though, I agree they should NOT be put in adult prison.
What’s extremely sad are that these tips they’re giving about being wary of ppl being nice for no reason, are the exact same tips parents need to be aware of for their young children and the adults around your children. Be extremely suspicious of ppl that seem to be doing things “for no reason.”
You are correct! I always taught my daughter whatever you need or want mommy will provide. You dont need to take anything from anyone whos promising you "goodies". Kids do need to know that.
You're friends will sell you out in prison for smoke food perfection the only friend you have in prison is yourself and trying too play like you're hard only says you're weak ! You're only friend in prison is cashmoney
I find it admirable how matter-of-fact the narrator manages to be, despite his experiences. From his eyes and subtle body movements, you can tell it, naturally, still pains him, but there's no crack in his composure.
Stoic observer Nice comment. Anyone who displays stoicism during hardships gets a lot of respect from me. Your username is the best possible prison and life advice I could give in just two words.
I spent 13 months in prison at age 36 and it was a COUNTY prison not a state prison. Check your ego at the door, and keep your eyes and ears open until you find friends you trust. The more other inmates see you friendly with other inmates, they'll likely leave you alone. Do your pushups and try to lighten up and not take it so seriously. Don't stare at anyone and always be respectful to both staff and inmates. Say thank you if someone offers you something but never ask for anything. Be polite to staff and they'll be much more likely to help you and give you things. I did very easy time and even tried to help others. I never got in even one fight or argument. It definitely sucks but you CAN make the most of it just by using common sense.
Did you ever hear of or witness rape in a county jail? It's considered pretty disgusting and sickening to practically anybody. I've never heard of it in county jail system. Though in some prisons, there's some pretty disgustingly sick people doing serious time in there, for their own amusement would be very capable of rape.
You shouldn't have any shame or guilt if you've been raped. It was out of your control. It doesn't make you lesser then anyone else. What doesn't kill us makes us (stronger). 🙏🧡
Just watched a vid by a former inmate who had to listen to a guy get brutally raped over rhe course of a night. In the morning the guards found him tied up and blood everywhere, they tased the rapist and the guy had to be carried out. He now spends his remaining time in a psych ward, smears himself with faeces and has basically lost his mind. It doesn't necessarily make you stronger
watch other youtube show, search TURNED OUT PRISON. warden allows their vices, sex drugs because it kepps them "out of our hair" warden allows men be raped in alabama prison. chek it ot
I know two people who were in Prison, when they reported the threat of rape, they were laughed at. The officers turned a blind eye, whike they were being assulted. Sometimes those who run the prison are the inmates !
I heard stories from a friend who paroled from prison, a creep went inside for molesting and killing his 7 year old niece and he was gang raped and beaten daily. Gaurds would transfer him out to keep him safe, and same thing would happen again..Dude was used and abused on the daily.
i saw how that whole scenario play out in a movie called “lockdown.” And i think in American Me the inmates put something in the guy drink and lured him home an empty cell.

I told a friend who was in prison that if a big guy try to rape me I would just throw up and diarrhea all over myself, he said , "some guys like that"! 😳
dude ive a seen a tiktok where this predator held a guy at knife point while shitting and he said to not clean up the guy didn't want to get raped so he fought back and died of stab wounds crazy
Excellent job. What strikes me is how relevant much of this advice is to the world in general - outside of prison. Predators, of all types, exist in every society. The lessons offered here easily can be applied anywhere.
I just stumbled upon this video. But found it compelling and watched it all the way through. Someone else stated the people who were willing to talk and help fellow prisoners were very articulate. They were also brave to be filmed in this way, and courageous to stand up against people who abuse others in prison. Hope this video is shared widely in schools and colleges as it may aid people in deciding against wrong doing.
@@PuHLVeRiZe I can guarantee you I would personally take such a case directly to the directorship if it was reported to me. I have reported other staff in order to protect inmates and yes, got an evil backlash. And I will continue to do so even for inmates that hate all COs. That is called integrity.
When I was 20 years old I did 10 days in jail. To many driving violations! That 10 days was so bad of losing my freedom to me I swore I would never be back. That was 44 years ago, I learned my lesson.
My heart skipped a beat when dude said..... "Predators come in all shapes, sizes and races and they listen to all different genres of music." "Predators look like us."
I dunno man I've seen the movies. Predators are usually like 8 ish feet tall. Have scaley skin and dreads and are butt ugly. I'm saying uglier than Brittney Griner. They also make a wierd sound and can go invisible. Ask the fromer governor Cali. Dude loved housekeepers and killing predators.

I'm glad men can speak up about how gruesome the action of rape is, I would hope they advocate for the safety of men and women and turn away from a life of crime
I'm terrified for my brother who's in jail because he has a mental disability and very vulnerable. He's coming out soon. I really hope I don't hear this has happened to him.
You’re waiting to hear if anything happened to him after he’s served his time? Didn’t you advise him before he went and visit him in the interim to check that he’s doing ok?
@Pulsonar so you just think I'm waiting for bad news? Obviously I would hope this doesn't happen but as I said, he has a mental impairment, so it's not just sitting down and coaching him once about something and he gets it. Learn a little on mental disabilities
@@algore4u No need to be arrogant and cynical like that man, every mental health case is unique. It would really insult you if I were to make base assumption that your unique case falls into some general category and then I behave with condescending and patronising advice like I got your picture.

That’s why you’re comment struck a chord , my questions m wasn’t to criticise or to be negative, it was to learn, understand and perhaps support from a mutual perspective. My apologies if my comment read different and it got your back up.
@ali6943 I've been to prison a couple times in my younger days,and turned my life around. 99.9% of the people in there won't pray on someone with disabilities,and most inmates won't respect or allow something like that to happen
The number of real world (outside of prison) lessons I learned from this is actually life altering, holy shit. I’m really grateful to the creators of this doc
Y’all are young guys? That’s good to know it helps people. Don’t use drugs out here either. Back in the ‘60s and ‘70s there was stuff out here that could be fun. It’s not like that anymore. Y’all got the short end of the stick in that deal, but just let it go and stay away. Your drugs out there today has its own drugs. They aren’t chemists, and you shouldn’t be trusting them to press your pills or mix your anything else. I guess I’m not terrified of green yet but I sure keep waiting to hear stories about them f’ing that up, too.
It's terrible how a short sentence can become a long one if you have to defend yourself from crazies and perverts. The justice system and jail system is so dysfunctional. No one serving a year should have to get in trouble in there and end up serving 10 or 20 years because they had to fight against a sexual assault that they didn't even start.
Its one of the most difficult things to come out sharing sexual abuse. Im a survivor and i appreciate and thank you who share your stories. Especially with men..it seems to go unnoticed. Coming out helps others as well as provides possible healing to you, the victim. God bless ❤
Fair or unfair, men who are victims of SA...should just keep that stuff to themselves (maybe get some therapy in private). People look at men differently when it's known that they are victims of SA. If something like that ever happened to me...I'd somehow find the will to internalize that SH1T and move on.
@@ohsomarvalus4712 Not saying that it's right or fair.....I'm saying that the reality is it's much easier for women to open up about being abused...then it is for men. Again, I'm not saying that just because it's 'easier' for women to open up about SA then it is for men...does not mean that I'm saying that it is 'easy' for women to open up about SA. I'm saying that people (especially men) look at men differently than they would a woman if either was a victim of SA.
all u ever need to do to raise children is tell them all the horrible things about prison like rape and if they have more then one brain cell they will stay out
This is really an eye opening experience to hear what these inmates have gone through. Before watching this video, I was convinced they deserved to be treated harshly, now I am convinced no one deserves to be treated so poorly no matter what they have done. I am glad they are working to improve this type of situation. Serving your time without being brutalized needs to be done without fear. I pray for the ones that have been harmed.
This helped me understand that my history with sexual assault spurred my stubborn independence and discomfort with acts of kindness. Thank you for helping me identify that so I can work past it where appropriate and safe :)
@@jimathybindlenim6359 True, they did stupid things and got a stupid result/prison. I noticed their self-awareness and how they explained things, calm and cool, didn't drop the f-bomb every 5 seconds. That's different from someone who won't accept responsibility for their actions, angry, defensive, etc. That's what makes me think they can move past their mistakes and get a new start.
Ehhh, many psychopaths don't have tells and manipulators are often very charming. So idk. Some of these men have been in prison for 30+ years, which means they did something horrific.
If you're implying that the Greeks were gay and raped young boys, that was frowned upon and was extremely infrequent, they had harsh laws against homosexuality and pederasty.
The candy bar thing is real. What I mean is, if you're just coming into jail (upstate NY) from Rikers Island, when you hit Downstate correctional facility, which is a reception jail of new inmates, that is where your first test of this begins. As a Bronx crip since 1996, I went upstate in 2000, along with a Latin King member from East New York, who I was cool with on Rikers Island in 1999. As we got to our cells in Downstate, we met candy bars on our beds (he being in a separate cell of his own). We being so young (17), we were naïve, so we honestly thought this was just part of the jail system of welcoming new inmates. King Trigga [the Latin King] ate his candies. I was skeptical, so I put mines aside. Later on that day as we exited our cells, an old-timer (someone who been in jail for a long time) came to us and told us not to eat the candies left in our cells. That it's a common set up by a prison predator. We were shocked! We had no idea! Trigga already ate his, so that meant that the booty-bandit would feel as though he owes/owns him now. Since I didn't eat mines, I was glad. Later that day, some old creep came to my cell. He was the porter/trustee inmate. I was doing pushups. He made a slick/funny sexual remark, that he liked my abs. He tried to touch my abs through the bars. I backed up. He grinned. He asked me about the chocolate bars that he left on my bed. I told him I didn't eat them. I gave them to him. Since King Trigga was in the cell next to me, I told him about the old creep that tried to come on to me. Trigga said he tried the same thing with him too. Trigga was heated since he tried to press him about the candies he ate. Trigga came up with a plan to knock him out with a soap in a sock. He was going to put about 4 bars of korekrat jail-house soaps in a sock as a weapon. Next morning, Trigga called him to his cell and beat the booty-bandit down with the soap and sock. They sent Trigga to the box/hole. I was kinda worried since I didn't know anybody else in the entire jail, just in case the booty-bandit tried something again. Lucky for me, the next day, I ran into 3 other crips whom I knew from C74 Rikers Island just few weeks/months prior in 1999. So in a sense, I had protection in case the old creep tried something again. And like I said, at that time in January 2000, I was 17 years old. The Latin King, Trigga, was also 17. The 3 other crips I met again, were all 17. All of us came up state from C74 Rikers Island adolescence. So we were seen as fresh meat to predators. Why I said all this is because I recently came across a video from a dude saying that the candy bar on your bed thing, is a myth. He's from California, so maybe that didn't go down there. But in the NY prison system, I have personal experience that that shit was real!
@bigguido9448 lol I didn't know any better! What was I to expect bro 😆? My first time in the pen, 17 years old. I honestly thought that was part of a care package 😆
Sexual predators walk amongst us on the inside and outside...im a victim of sexual abuse at the hands of my father. I know the signs. You never get over rape and the only people who should be exposed to rape are the rapist themselves. Powerful video and some brave stories. I hope those affected are receiving help.
@@Auudubillahi thank you for sharing your story. I hope you are doing ok. It is incredibly difficult living with any abuse but it is only by speaking out can we expose the abusers.

Genuine respect to all these guys. No doubt, they have been incarcerated for committing crimes against society... but they are paying their dues. Additionally, to participate in this manner ( ie. helping to create this video ) is such an amazing move forward! I am appalled at some of the comments I am reading about perceptions regarding 'criminals'. I have never participated in something positive like this video. These 'criminals' definitely have one up on me, in relation to 'ethics'. Peace to you, you and You.
British jails are not really comparable at all. They are rough and ready but there is no culture of sexual predation. If you are a middle class particularly unstreetwise you might have some problems with bullying etc but really it is just a big school. Keep your head down and be respectful and you will be fine. If you come from a working class background and have a level head on your shoulders you will be fine. If you go in thinking you are a hardcase and don't know anybody you will get terrorised and it will serve you right.
Sometimes when someone's come from a comfortable and sheltered background, they feel inferior by contrast to somebody who has a reputation for being violent and aggressive, so they go out of their way to somehow pretend bad is good, as a way of championing something, to in their minds earn their own "Street" "credentials". don't compare these violent individuals, who have hurt other people, to "war" like heroes. They're not in prison for doing something nice. And it probably isn't a bum rap that put them in there either.many of these people have been in and out of the system since they were kids, and they know how to manipulate people that want to help. they know what you want to hear.
Don't forget that a good amount of people are actually framed and 100% innocent of the crimes they were arrested and convicted of. So, you can't just assume that every inmate in prison committed any crimes.
"I was gang raped, I'm telling you this because I don't want this to happen to you"...That's one hell of a motivational speech there bud.
Bro caught me off guard with that intro
um yeah and wassup with that mustache
Sorry bro hope your doing ok
Would've been epic if he immediately followed with " its not for everyone."
How brave and caring of you to share your story. 🥰👍
Extraordinary courage for a man to admit to others he was raped like this and also commit to helping others like this.
He also wrote a book about his unfortunate prison experience. It was a very difficult book to read. Hopefully young men getting into trouble will read it and turn their life around.
And he said it so non-chalantly. Like someone took his orange juice.
It shouldn't need courage and there's no need to be ashamed. He was overwhelmed, there's nothing he could have done to fight his way out of if, and there's nothing he did to make it happen. It's no more shameful than being shot or someone breaking your nose. The shame is all on the people who do it.
He was strong. They didn't take his manhood. He wasn't gay, they were.

Been to prison myself. As long as you're laid back, stick to your group, don't join gangs, and don't start shit with others, you will more than likely be fine. If someone tries to cross you, you MUST ALWAYS be assertive and fight back. Respect is EVERYTHING on the inside. You cannot let any affront to you slide, no matter how small. If you let one small thing slide, it will make you a future target.
Well put. Been there too. Always stand up for yourself and be willing to fight. There are predator's, prey, and dudes doing their own time and minding their own business. The deal is to be the latter. And also someone the predator's know not to f**k with.
That last sentence is exactly like the off-site receipting section of Centurion Transport in Hazelmere.
I had a client who told me about his experience in Prison.... 5 years for murder (I think he served three), and he said generally the same thing. He was about 25 if I remember correctly. He learned how to become invisible. He was a small black young man who was better educated than most and had been in no trouble before the murder. He had just snapped due to a lot of mental abuse by his girlfriend AND exhaustion from work. The jury gave him probation but the probation department and the judge just looked for a reason to revoke him. He has done OK after prison.
Many inmates are targeted simply because of their vulnerability.

Except that people do not go to prison because they heard it’s fun. Tell me who doesn’t know about m2m prison rape. This is why well meaning people with no relevant education or experience need to be quiet. That’s how DARE burned millions of dollars with no results. You might want to believe that your idea has merit, but you’re an evil person if you prioritize what you wish was true over reality. No, that absolutely will do nothing to prevent a kid from crime. This topic has been discussed plentifully for over 20 years, how did you learn nothing??? Do you even know what method of prevention marketing is the only one to show any results? Do you know what the top 5 most influential factors are in determining who ends up in prison? Do you even know what I’m talking about? Why dear god would any of you weigh in? Do you tell NASA how much fuel you think a rocket needs? You have no expertise and even suggesting this dumbassery tells me you don’t care if you waste all the money, you don’t want society to improve, you just want to do nothing & find a way to congratulate yourselves.

Same! I had quit a few bros from the streets in there already and none of that was tolerated. Seen a couple gunners get knotted up with batteries and ran out the barracks. I was never approached like that but I don't come off as an easy push over neither.
Dude I agree. I met some great friends in prison and it became easy to spot the slime bags and cowards. I even actually stood up for people a couples times despite telling myself that was a bad idea.

@@ZRBx4 Two wrongs don’t make a right - the inevitable result of crime has to be some form of curtailing of personal freedoms and rehabilitation. Truly, as much as I know there are evil humans who I would happily see suffer - SA can’t ever be the way of doing that, because the person committing that act is turning themselves into that same monster capable of doing something like that.
If it’s another monster, but someone who is twisted in the usual criminal way has no qualms about tearing their soul further to punish someone who has committed acts far worse to those who are totally innocent - I don’t see any moral dilemma about letting one monster destroy another.

This documentary makes it look easy to report but ask anyone in the system how difficult it is. Often times the CO's are part of the problem because they're in on the violence.
The movies never lied.
Yes, there are evil COs and good ones.
In South Africa the warden take you to the man who sex with you
From the sounds of some of the prisons, the CO's are absolute demons compared to these police officers people are freaking out about. Why can't the families and friends on the outside get together and start pushing to investigate and sue the correctional officers for allowing rape or stabbings.
I was thinking the same thing. That n the other inmates do see it as snitching. Should not tell other inmates what's happening either. You'll be a punk then to them.
It's sickening that the government puts people in such jeopardy of being assaulted in this manner. No matter what the prisoner has been convicted of, their punishment is a predetermined period of incarceration which does not include being assaulted. The prison system has a responsibility to keep inmates safe.
There are no words adequate to convey my admiration for a man who could turn such personal suffering into a life devoted to helping others avoid such cruelty as he had to experience.
Maybe he just wants all the dong for himself?
The guy who introduced the video shocked me with that one liner about his gang rape victim experience more than what the serving prisoners shared. Takes a strong man to survive that shit, acknowledge and deal with it psychologically and then to help others mitigate the potential for that to happen.

And since you have zero appetite while in w/d’s, I gave away my food allll the time. Well, more like girls would see most of my food was uneaten and ask if they can have it to which I always said sure.

When that guy said “you really have to trust your gut” it gave me goosebumps. In my life I can definitely relate.
This is universal advice- the same principles of caution apply on the outside.
I spent 13 months in prison at age 36 and it was a COUNTY prison not a state prison. Check your ego at the door, and keep your eyes and ears open until you find friends you trust. The more other inmates see you friendly with other inmates, they'll likely leave you alone. Do your pushups and try to lighten up and not take it so seriously. Don't stare at anyone and always be respectful to both staff and inmates. Say thank you if someone offers you something but never ask for anything. Be polite to staff and they'll be much more likely to help you and give you things. I did very easy time and even tried to help others. I never got in even one fight or argument. It definitely sucks but you CAN make the most of it just by using common sense.
Glad you got out unscathed

Though in some prisons, there's some pretty disgustingly sick people doing serious time in there, for their own amusement would be very capable of rape.
You shouldn't have any shame or guilt if you've been raped. It was out of your control.
It doesn't make you lesser then anyone else. What doesn't kill us makes us (stronger).

dude ive a seen a tiktok where this predator held a guy at knife point while shitting and he said to not clean up the guy didn't want to get raped so he fought back and died of stab wounds crazy
😂😂😂 this is wild
I laughed, and I'm wrong.
Excellent job. What strikes me is how relevant much of this advice is to the world in general - outside of prison. Predators, of all types, exist in every society. The lessons offered here easily can be applied anywhere.
Word, I peeped game and now shower with my clothes on. Saves doing the laundry too
im not sure if you're serious but if you are... i hope you're only keeping underwear@@irliamthischool
dont plan on ever going to prison but very informative and good to know!
I just stumbled upon this video. But found it compelling and watched it all the way through. Someone else stated the people who were willing to talk and help fellow prisoners were very articulate. They were also brave to be filmed in this way, and courageous to stand up against people who abuse others in prison. Hope this video is shared widely in schools and colleges as it may aid people in deciding against wrong doing.
"Just report it to a CO" yeah that is totally fine. I'm sure the predator will understand and just back away.
Nope. Now victims are immediately protected. We COs do not want sofomites hurting vulnerable prisoners. We hate sexual predators more than inmates do.
Snitches get stiches.....im just sayin....
@@ashleymarierobinsonmantlow4339 🖕🖕🖕
Stoic Observer yeah unless one of the Co getting paid by one of the prisoners
@@PuHLVeRiZe I can guarantee you I would personally take such a case directly to the directorship if it was reported to me. I have reported other staff in order to protect inmates and yes, got an evil backlash. And I will continue to do so even for inmates that hate all COs. That is called integrity.
Had advice from a friend who done three years. Never accept a favour from anyone. Say thanks but no thanks and always pay your way.
So you should turn down an offer to wash your back in the shower?
Absolutely

When I was 20 years old I did 10 days in jail. To many driving violations! That 10 days was so bad of losing my freedom to me I swore I would never be back. That was 44 years ago, I learned my lesson.
You were abused by society. They crushed you and made you submissive. Congrats!
My heart skipped a beat when dude said.....
"Predators come in all shapes, sizes and races and they listen to all different genres of music."
"Predators look like us."
yeah that kind of raw honesty is strange to us normal law abiding people who havent been to prison eh
I would have guess they listened to rap
They be like us
They be like us
They be like us
They be like us
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I dunno man I've seen the movies. Predators are usually like 8 ish feet tall. Have scaley skin and dreads and are butt ugly. I'm saying uglier than Brittney Griner. They also make a wierd sound and can go invisible. Ask the fromer governor Cali. Dude loved housekeepers and killing predators.
@NazgulM5OD300Loser
Saw a guy get assaulted because of an unpaid debt. It was all a set up. Tried to warn him but I didnt want to expose myself too much. The friendship angle is correct. Still haunts me.
Shoulda warned him
@@TheBrady0012004 Then he would of been a target or had to be responsible for that guys debt.

Am I the only one watching this passively at my office job while taking notes?
Outstanding presentation from the inmates to the entire staff! My son is incarcerated and we've discussed these exact same procedures. Glad to see your agency being proactive and that the transparency is on point.
in case he likes it and switches?
How did you fail your son that he ended up in there?
@@StoicContrarian what a dick move from you. Do you feel better for that? Feeling nice and smug sitting around sniffing your own farts thinking they don't stink?
You didn't want to know what happened out of interest, you just wanted to demean someone to make yourself feel superior for a few seconds.

@@uhjeff3651 Drug addiction and stole cars. He was accepted into rehab and Drug Court and was doing well for over a year and was holding down a job. But then he relapsed and broke his Drug Court contract so he was sent to prison for 3-1/2 years. I pray he realizes he will still have his whole life ahead of him as a young man when he gets out and stays out of trouble.
@@smf2072 yes sir right away sir.
So sad
This video makes prison so much more scary
My step father did 17.5 straight state/fed and did his time in some seriously dangerous Facilities. He used to school me on this type of stuff and how to survive in prison. He never bragged, it was more matter of fact and his ability to read people and situations was out of this world. I really credit him for being a strong male power of example to me at a point were I felt I could have gone either way. He really taught me some powerful lessons and many truths both good and bad
We all have to do our best to break the cycles. Even after we make mistakes.
What did he do to get 17.5 years? Lol

@@martinvanburen4578Yeah, it’s almost like you read one sentence on the man!
Of course you don’t understand anything about him
I have just been through only the first one and a half minutes of the video and have paused to salute this man, a real man 🫡🫡👍 The courage and conviction on his face while narrating his experiences is so brutally honest and amazing already...and I still got 22 odd minutes left😊
I'm glad men can speak up about how gruesome the action of rape is, I would hope they advocate for the safety of men and women and turn away from a life of crime
Love the entry level job orientation production quality.
I'm terrified for my brother who's in jail because he has a mental disability and very vulnerable. He's coming out soon. I really hope I don't hear this has happened to him.
You’re waiting to hear if anything happened to him after he’s served his time? Didn’t you advise him before he went and visit him in the interim to check that he’s doing ok?
@Pulsonar so you just think I'm waiting for bad news? Obviously I would hope this doesn't happen but as I said, he has a mental impairment, so it's not just sitting down and coaching him once about something and he gets it. Learn a little on mental disabilities
@@algore4u No need to be arrogant and cynical like that man, every mental health case is unique. It would really insult you if I were to make base assumption that your unique case falls into some general category and then I behave with condescending and patronising advice like I got your picture. That’s why I asked questions as I have a brother who has mental impairment too and he distances himself from everyone the last 21 years. That’s why you’re comment struck a chord , my questions m wasn’t to criticise or to be negative, it was to learn, understand and perhaps support from a mutual perspective. My apologies if my comment read different and it got your back up.
You're a passive aggressive a*hole and troll. That's all I have to say.@@Pulsonar
@ali6943 I've been to prison a couple times in my younger days,and turned my life around. 99.9% of the people in there won't pray on someone with disabilities,and most inmates won't respect or allow something like that to happen
The number of real world (outside of prison) lessons I learned from this is actually life altering, holy shit. I’m really grateful to the creators of this doc
Same!

Y’all are young guys? That’s good to know it helps people. Don’t use drugs out here either. Back in the ‘60s and ‘70s there was stuff out here that could be fun. It’s not like that anymore. Y’all got the short end of the stick in that deal, but just let it go and stay away. Your drugs out there today has its own drugs. They aren’t chemists, and you shouldn’t be trusting them to press your pills or mix your anything else. I guess I’m not terrified of green yet but I sure keep waiting to hear stories about them f’ing that up, too.
Me too 😆

It's terrible how a short sentence can become a long one if you have to defend yourself from crazies and perverts. The justice system and jail system is so dysfunctional. No one serving a year should have to get in trouble in there and end up serving 10 or 20 years because they had to fight against a sexual assault that they didn't even start.
Men can be sickos
Its one of the most difficult things to come out sharing sexual abuse. Im a survivor and i appreciate and thank you who share your stories. Especially with men..it seems to go unnoticed. Coming out helps others as well as provides possible healing to you, the victim. God bless ❤
Fair or unfair, men who are victims of SA...should just keep that stuff to themselves (maybe get some therapy in private). People look at men differently when it's known that they are victims of SA. If something like that ever happened to me...I'd somehow find the will to internalize that SH1T and move on.
@paullentz1972 I hear you. I guess it's to each's own. No judgment because I'm not a man and you may know better than myself.
@@paullentz1972People used to say the same about women but that changed quite quickly.
@@ohsomarvalus4712 Not saying that it's right or fair.....I'm saying that the reality is it's much easier for women to open up about being abused...then it is for men. Again, I'm not saying that just because it's 'easier' for women to open up about SA then it is for men...does not mean that I'm saying that it is 'easy' for women to open up about SA. I'm saying that people (especially men) look at men differently than they would a woman if either was a victim of SA.
@@baileyharrison1030 True...however we arent there yet. Men who are victims of SA are looked at differently (especially by other men).

Not me but I'm not going to watch the women's version. I did learn I'll not saying someone go has done time.
Hello anjelica
This is really an eye opening experience to hear what these inmates have gone through. Before watching this video, I was convinced they deserved to be treated harshly, now I am convinced no one deserves to be treated so poorly no matter what they have done. I am glad they are working to improve this type of situation. Serving your time without being brutalized needs to be done without fear. I pray for the ones that have been harmed.
This helped me understand that my history with sexual assault spurred my stubborn independence and discomfort with acts of kindness. Thank you for helping me identify that so I can work past it where appropriate and safe :)
Please look into trauma informed therapy or looking at reading resources. RAINN can offer you free resources in your community
Yeah
The men sharing their experiences seem like good guys, I wish them the best.
They are in prison so uh probably not. Kinda the point of prison
@@jimathybindlenim6359 True, they did stupid things and got a stupid result/prison. I noticed their self-awareness and how they explained things, calm and cool, didn't drop the f-bomb every 5 seconds. That's different from someone who won't accept responsibility for their actions, angry, defensive, etc. That's what makes me think they can move past their mistakes and get a new start.
Good guys....sitting in prison 😂😂
Don't be fooled.
Ehhh, many psychopaths don't have tells and manipulators are often very charming. So idk. Some of these men have been in prison for 30+ years, which means they did something horrific.
The phrase “beware of Greeks bearing gifts“ don’t come from nowhere
This phrase is nothing but a whole fact.
Never trust greeks , we also say "gayreeks"
Never heard that proverb. Greeks. Creeps in all nationalities
If you're implying that the Greeks were gay and raped young boys, that was frowned upon and was extremely infrequent, they had harsh laws against homosexuality and pederasty.
@@no1brittbarbiefan LOL! I meant the Trojan Horse
This was one of my first UA-cam videos i watched after i got my own smartphone in case one day I'm in jail
The candy bar thing is real. What I mean is, if you're just coming into jail (upstate NY) from Rikers Island, when you hit Downstate correctional facility, which is a reception jail of new inmates, that is where your first test of this begins.
As a Bronx crip since 1996, I went upstate in 2000, along with a Latin King member from East New York, who I was cool with on Rikers Island in 1999. As we got to our cells in Downstate, we met candy bars on our beds (he being in a separate cell of his own).
We being so young (17), we were naïve, so we honestly thought this was just part of the jail system of welcoming new inmates.
King Trigga [the Latin King] ate his candies. I was skeptical, so I put mines aside. Later on that day as we exited our cells, an old-timer (someone who been in jail for a long time) came to us and told us not to eat the candies left in our cells. That it's a common set up by a prison predator.
We were shocked! We had no idea! Trigga already ate his, so that meant that the booty-bandit would feel as though he owes/owns him now. Since I didn't eat mines, I was glad.
Later that day, some old creep came to my cell. He was the porter/trustee inmate. I was doing pushups. He made a slick/funny sexual remark, that he liked my abs. He tried to touch my abs through the bars. I backed up. He grinned. He asked me about the chocolate bars that he left on my bed. I told him I didn't eat them. I gave them to him.
Since King Trigga was in the cell next to me, I told him about the old creep that tried to come on to me. Trigga said he tried the same thing with him too. Trigga was heated since he tried to press him about the candies he ate. Trigga came up with a plan to knock him out with a soap in a sock. He was going to put about 4 bars of korekrat jail-house soaps in a sock as a weapon.
Next morning, Trigga called him to his cell and beat the booty-bandit down with the soap and sock. They sent Trigga to the box/hole. I was kinda worried since I didn't know anybody else in the entire jail, just in case the booty-bandit tried something again.
Lucky for me, the next day, I ran into 3 other crips whom I knew from C74 Rikers Island just few weeks/months prior in 1999. So in a sense, I had protection in case the old creep tried something again.
And like I said, at that time in January 2000, I was 17 years old. The Latin King, Trigga, was also 17. The 3 other crips I met again, were all 17. All of us came up state from C74 Rikers Island adolescence. So we were seen as fresh meat to predators.
Why I said all this is because I recently came across a video from a dude saying that the candy bar on your bed thing, is a myth. He's from California, so maybe that didn't go down there. But in the NY prison system, I have personal experience that that shit was real!
Bro you really thought the candy that was left was like a welcome package? Like the mints they leave on the hotel pillows? 🤣🤣
Not gonna lie you capping

Sexual predators walk amongst us on the inside and outside...im a victim of sexual abuse at the hands of my father. I know the signs. You never get over rape and the only people who should be exposed to rape are the rapist themselves. Powerful video and some brave stories. I hope those affected are receiving help.
That's f***d . I was abused as a kid from a family member, I can only imagine how it feels coming from your own father. God bless
@@Auudubillahi thank you for sharing your story. I hope you are doing ok. It is incredibly difficult living with any abuse but it is only by speaking out can we expose the abusers. It's hard to put the past behind us but to survive we need to look to the future and not let the past define who we are. Life is short.
Same. Life ruining stuff yet invariably, life moves on. We cannot let those derived individuals win. We must succeed in order for them to have failed

Never been to prison or jail in my life. So far it seems that dropping my ego and pride is working. Not doing drugs of any kind. I also don't drink in public. I don't even chase women anymore. Staying at home seems to be my bread and butter. Books and writing is appealing, I enjoy working out to.
We should be so ashamed as a country that this happens in our prisons
I'd rather focus on our high schools.
It's prison. It's literally where they send all the convicted rapists.
What I've learned from video.
Dont make friends.
Dont accept any gifts.
Get your weight up.
Be yourself.
Dont gamble or drug.
Stay in library
Shower with boxers on.

Imagine being locked up for a crime that you were innocent of only to be sexually assaulted in prison.
Imagine being innocent and still being put to death
@ it has actually happened several times that we know about. I imagine the figure is much much higher than we know. I would honestly be given the death penalty rather than being tortured for a crime you didn't commit every single day for years and years and years
Genuine respect to all these guys. No doubt, they have been incarcerated for committing crimes against society... but they are paying their dues. Additionally, to participate in this manner ( ie. helping to create this video ) is such an amazing move forward! I am appalled at some of the comments I am reading about perceptions regarding 'criminals'. I have never participated in something positive like this video. These 'criminals' definitely have one up on me, in relation to 'ethics'. Peace to you, you and You.
Louise Belcher I couldn't agree with you more.
British jails are not really comparable at all. They are rough and ready but there is no culture of sexual predation. If you are a middle class particularly unstreetwise you might have some problems with bullying etc but really it is just a big school. Keep your head down and be respectful and you will be fine. If you come from a working class background and have a level head on your shoulders you will be fine. If you go in thinking you are a hardcase and don't know anybody you will get terrorised and it will serve you right.
Sometimes when someone's come from a comfortable and sheltered background, they feel inferior by contrast to somebody who has a reputation for being violent and aggressive, so they go out of their way to somehow pretend bad is good, as a way of championing something, to in their minds earn their own "Street" "credentials". don't compare these violent individuals, who have hurt other people, to "war" like heroes. They're not in prison for doing something nice. And it probably isn't a bum rap that put them in there either.many of these people have been in and out of the system since they were kids, and they know how to manipulate people that want to help. they know what you want to hear.
Don't forget that a good amount of people are actually framed and 100% innocent of the crimes they were arrested and convicted of. So, you can't just assume that every inmate in prison committed any crimes.
Ain't no friends in prison don't cept shite no food slippers it's just a setup and if somebody gives you anything you about too become his bitch
