The state of Missouri invests over 800 million dollars each year in the Department of Corrections and operates 21 state prisons. One of these is the North East Correctional Center (NECC) in Bowling Green, a good hour's drive north of St. Louis. 10,679 employees at the Missouri DOC ensure that it stays that way. 650 of them are Correctional Officers, one of whom is Deputy Warden Ashlie Brooks, 34. She and her colleagues have worked tens of thousands of hours of overtime in recent years to keep the system running. The film looks behind the scenes of everyday life in prison. From the perspective of Officer Peterson and over Richard McCool's shoulder. And the film shows a completely new development in the Missouri State Prisons.
@@troutbumgypsy9169Z it is NOT a level 2. It is all three levels, I worked there. I know all about it. I worked directly with level 5 offenders. You don't know what you're talking about.
The only daycare part of the prison is the Dynamo project house. The fence makes it a maximum security. Don't let any of these comments tell you any different. I know every single person in this documentary.
@ 22:05 Carlos Ashcraft was conviced of sodomy with minors. He shows his cell like it's the Life Styles of the Rich and Famous. This creep should be under the jail.
I totally understand your emotion, but don't forget...We ALL sinners. We all heading to hell unless we find Jesus and repent for our sins. Yeah I know, anything involving kids hits us in our guts pretty bad. But that is very sensitive area cause we all love our kids, so we get a strong emotional response. Murder is ending someone's life permanently, and they're GONE FOREVER six foot under, and yet somehow we are so desensitized to it, that murder doesn't even hit us as hard in our gut, but that ain't right. It SHOULD hit us even HARDER. But lemme say this... It IS possible for people to make a mistake, even a terrible one like taking someone's life away, or what this man did in his past, and then they repent, and they authentically change with the help of God. It has happened many times! There is an example of this from the Good Book. The most beloved apostle, Paul, responsible for bringing the Bible and the Gospel to the entire world, and writing half of the entire New Testament all by himself, was a brutal, bloodthirsty, mass murderer, who personally stoned men to death for being Christian and had Christian women and children arrested and imprisoned and executed. Then Jesus cut him down to size to get his attention, by striking him blind and he put the Holy Spirit in him and he changed. Totally changed. He was then given his eyesight back, and For the rest of his life Paul did God's work. He was sorry for his sins and God forgave him. If the creator of the whole universe forgives a man, then who am I not to forgive a guy? Jesus said that if we do not forgive others, then we will not receive forgiveness ourselves. No matter what a man's past sin, it IS possible that they can truly repent, accept Jesus for REAL, and change. Prayers for all these dudes doing time. Not everybody is good outside the prison walls, and not everybody bad inside them walls. But we ALL need Jesus. God Bless you man. Have a good day, enjoyed your comment.
I like watching this to remind myself when I was locked up ( I was WHAT???!!! ) for half of a day over 30 years ago, I told that Judge in that criminal court that I was BLACK ( when I should have said that I was MULATTO ) and wrong. Oh yeah.😮
I have found myself thinking the same thing. One of the side-effects watching these shows is that I have nightmares about being put into prison. I appreciate the fact that it was just a bad dream that I can wake. Hopefully, it will provide a clear warning about what could happen. There are things that once done can never be undone. It would be beneficial for every youth to see. The old "scared straight" theory.
About 12 years ago, for two years, I was an inmate in this prison. Watching this really tripped me out. I am so grateful for the life that recovery from substance use disorder has afforded me.
I know these guys are probably in an honor dorm. Back then this was a higher level prison. Even with it being lower level now, I can’t imagine these guys are living the “typical” NECC experience.
Missouri is pathetic. Letting those pervs walk around free and speaking for everyone. WTF?? I've been to jail and these guys better not show their face and better not speak
@@GaZonk100 That isn't necessarily true. People always have trouble changing, that is true - not just inmates, but free people too. All it takes is reason, initiative, self-awareness, and drive to change. Prison can give people direction. If our prison system were more about rehabilitation and LESS about incarceration / punishment, perhaps we could see more change?
After going to college and doing all the things I thought I was supposed to do, I spent 19 months locked up off a 2 year sentence in 2018 after battling with opioid addiction. It wasn't like I expected it do be, but I also managed to work in the law library with imbued upon me some level of general safely as I represented someone who could potentially help with someone's judicial release or other legal maneuver which could get one out early. I am thankful for recovery and the gifts of no longer using, but my record has really impacted the things I can do for my career. I work with our electronic health records system and data analysis at a drug and alcohol treatment center, but working at a non-profit isn't exactly lucrative. Either way, I have a life today and will never have to see the inside of one of these places again!
I worked there for 8 1/2 years as a corrections officer. I ran housing unit # 3 for a couple years but also worked in every position in the institution. This video makes the prison look a lot better than it actually is. I have been in movement teams, I have seen people stabbed and commit suicide. The deputy warden was a correctional officer when I was there, she stated that there was an incident a couple years ago when an officer was injured. I worked there when that incident occurred.

Life of comfort he’s still in prison😂, he can’t go to the store or have a freedom to travel or drive around. Yes he is definitely too happy to have a child charge but still, so what you think predators should be in solitary while cop killers and school shooter can roam freely in the prison or what?😂
22:29 sodomy with minors ? And that’s the head of the pod ? I’m not a criminal so I’m not in and out of prison but there’s no way in hell that dude is walking freely around me and he damn sure isn’t running my home
He is in an honor dorm, 2 years no write ups, and a bunch of restorative justice projects. No write ups is impossible, I couldn’t go six months without
@@Robertska99 I was able to go my entire life without ever victimizing a child let alone raping a little boy so I don’t care how long he goes without a write up in prison. Sounds like he falls right in line when he has no little boys to victim. He wouldn’t be rehabilitating on my time or in my pod. I was a ward of the state as a child I was homeless by 15 and incarcerated from 16-18 after that I changed my life and never went back to jail. I’m 36 turning 37. The only time I’ve done was as a minor and this man is doing time for molesting an underage boy I wouldn’t let him walk my streets or my cell block.

I came to the US to learn English so that I could get a better job in my home country. I ended up staying here, going to college again, completing my master’s in computer science, and working in the tech industry. I also married an American. It’s been over a decade and while I’m grateful for everything this country has given me and for all the wonderful people who helped me along the way, I can’t help but question my decision when I see the state of the criminal justice system and healthcare here. The prison conditions are chilling and seem to have little to do with rehabilitation, unlike what I’ve seen in my home country and European countries.
I understand superman prisons aren't necessarily for corrections but putting them in cages turns them into " ANIMALS ' if the depression isn't bad enough . I am not saying to take your guard down but like they say, work smart , not hard.
Better yet, why the Hell are sex offenders almost ALWAYS sentenced to significantly LESS time than people convicted of drug offenses? What sense does that make?
@@GrundleMathius chomo goes first...red is primarily a chomo color. And that’s logical. Can a sane man who respects himself and those around him put this rubbish on his face? Of course not
Hollywood lied to you. The chomos might have it rough their first couple days, then they're just paying rent to stay in the unit and after a while they won't even be doing that. That goes for NECC and a much more violent prison I worked in Nevada.
_Nonsense. Most of the States in the U.S today treat criminals better then they do the victims, especilaly in far-left states like seattle and california. I'm not a right-wing person but at least Texas has a more fair justice system then some of the other states who basically treat murderers in prisons like their a bunch of teenagers._
_That's not entirely true. I did research on the darkweb and he isn't just in prison for manslaughter, he's also in Prison for murder in one of his 3 robberies - he also raped an elderly women years ago. That's probably why he said __17:19__ "trying to be kind to others now." Don't believe everything you hear at face value from a youtube video._
FR lmao😂😂😂 Im doing 2 miles 3 days a week in 18 and 8 miles in 65 on 4th day, and thats not killing myself. 12 minute mile is OK, but nothing to be proud of. 1/2 that and Id be impressed
I did 3 years in this place 20 years ago. I remember seeing the guy Michael because i played chess a lot. I went threw 5 missouri state prisons on a 15 year sentence,this was the most homelike. 1 man showers with curtains,washer and dryer,microwave..etc. There's a lot of good men there,some who really deserve freedom.
10:54 Love the camouflage uniforms. It’s obviously to help them blend in with all the trees; and not about them wanting to feel like they’re Special Forces soldiers.
I did time in a Missouri prison. I seen things that still wake me up in the middle of the night. Grown men screaming like you have never heard. It’s just not worth whatever you are thinking about.
Yeah, I’m from Missouri and I’ve never heard of us having tough prisons or the gangs being in charge. Though, I have to admit that I don’t really know anyone close that is in prison.
@robinw2613 the state with the worst prisons has to be alabama. Literally third world conditions. The prisons there look like dungeons and are extremely violent.
So, i just finished watching this. Can someone help me understand why this is one of the world's toughest prisons? These guys have it pretty good as far as prison standards go.....and these guys have done bad stuff,. I love how they rehabilitate the prisoners tho. That is really great. Is there a part 2 to this where they actually show why this is a tough prison?
Yeah this is corruption. This is how they chow the money. This is a hotel. This.. 17:31 He has the keys to the freaking gate of the prison bro. This is wrong.. 🤕
@@littlebeam1621 it's being rolled out. It has to start somewhere and if it's a 'success' then it means the system is 'working'. Some few mafias are making millions off this new development.
How tf is this considered one of the worlds toughest prisons? More of a day camp than one of the world's toughest prisons. However, I am all for it. This should be how prisons are run. Plenty of inmates would like to do their time without extortion, drugs, gangs, and fighting.
Man, I did 13 years in Missouri state penitentiary system, and Bowling Green is NOT a tough prison of Missouri for real. Go to JCCC, Licking, Charleston, Crossroads, Bonterra, or Potosi… all are Wayyy tougher prisons in Missouri
I was thinking the same thing. If the Wall or JCCC I Remembered when this place opened up same as Bonne Terre and as you stated Charleston and Licking, and I believe Cross Road. By the way, Bonne Terre is now where they conduct executions/death penalty.
Also, when this place opened, they housed minors convicted as adults on one side and released the to general population once they hit 18. That's jacked up in my opinion.
As someone who spend 10 years in ADX this just shows that all prisons are not like they are in the movies or TV shows id say about 95% of all prisons dudes with bad paperwork just walk free like this shows
I Pray that God can allow Michael Whitfield to be free. They just said that hes been locked up since 1993. This video was 5 months ago. its 2024. Thats 31 years that Micheal was behind bars. That man served his time. Free Michael Whitfield
These guards are some of the weakest guards I’ve seen. The inmates are clearly working out all the time and they are struggling with that joke of a PT test.
I did 1 as well. But our new county jail was funded by the feds. In turn to be a lay over place while they transport rando fed inmates around. That means EVERYONE has to be on basic federal rules. The ONLY time anyone goes outside is if u worked in the kitchen and u take out the trash. By 2nd week I could smell every living and dead thing in a square mile. It felt like being in a nursing home/mental ward more than anything else. Funny thing was 2 dudes in there also went to the parks n rec day camp with me when we were kids. Had some good laughs about "camp being back in session" 😅😅😅😅
They didn't go near HU 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10... DID THEY? 4 & 5 ARE DYNAMO (4) & HONOR ELITES (5). I hate that they showed the "prison reforming" bc it's just not like that!
At the end the guys think it's a level 2... there's a reason for that. It's a level 5, then 1 & 2. We have them all. It's just not Bonne Terre, Potosi or JCCC.
@@UmdogTR please don't say African prisons. It's not a country. The 'prison' that I've been is called Devon Prerelease Center in Ekurhuleni between GP (Gauteng Province) and MP (Mpumalanga) . I was sentenced to 12 months direct imprisonment (i.e. no option of a fine). However because of parole conditions I knew that it meant 6 months IN which means my date was 20 December or 2010. Just in time for Christmas. You see I was convicted for being a threat for the ⚽ FIFA WORLD CUP 2010. tourists. I was convicted for Fraud and it was really strange that I got such a harsh sentence just for $10,000 dollar white collar crime. And they didn't allow me to represent myself instead they provided me with a Legal Aid (the free lawyer that's supposed to defend you if you cannot afford a lawyer.) But anyway that placeis a hotel. That one had a swimming pool, a library, computer labs, gym, sowing classes where they make outfits like tailoring, field work in the outside garden (that's how the weed gets in) sound system for Recreation, Sports equipment. the only contrabands were really just 3 which is weed, cellphones and weapons. Everything else is aloowed, including money, real cash is allowed up to R400. The money is used to buy at the shop. So the 'Prerelease' part I got to learn by asking guys what they were arrested for and to rep their hood and I found that some of the inmates are from Maximum prison (15years and up) and so the money and all that luxury is for these dudes to get integrated back to the community and to learn to use money and I also found that they put them in the same prison with non violent offenders who are doing no more that 2 years sentence. Now it made sense why there was not much violence. The most important thing was weed. If there was 2 consecutive days and there was no weed in all Units from B Unit to G Unit that's when they would be a small problem. Food is overdose. Everything clean. Hospital fully equipped. Everyone who wants a job gets employed and on Wednesday you can take the cash or leave it in your account. I was wearing a gold ring a gold chain I had so much cash that some days I wouldn't even go to the kitchen. I stay in my cell (4 mates per cell) 2 beds with the one on top. I slept at the bottom bed. I had a MP3 player blasting THE KING OF RNB "WHEN A WOMAN LOVES". I'm a bit ashamed to say but it was a blast. I just felt bad for those who had no homes to return to after their done with their time. That's was what I experienced thanks to the World Cup. If it wasn't for that World Cup I was just gonna pay a fine. I would have bailed in court already. The money was there all cash. So I blame the tourists but at least I was arrested on 20 December on a Sunday and sentenced on the next day... which was also strange. No bond. No remand. No bail. No appeal. Nothing. To protect the vulnerable tourists. At least I saw some of it plus I was in Soweto, Johannesburg 🇿🇦 I really missed out on a lot of memories and money. I even had the number of a Brazilian chick that looked just as dark as me. 😢 Now I'm arrested. No more foreign 🍑 No more forirn currency 💱 That was the only real punishment for me.
@8alltime Yes, exactly. There were historically some drug problems and problems with embezzlement from a former administration, but there is no gang or threats from riots. People who live there are not in fear. I toured the prison when I was in college to collect information for a final paper I was writing. My friend was a parole/probation officer at the time. I certainly wouldn't classify this as a world's toughest prison. It's only a level 2-3.
@midwesttraveler2485 lmao you're definitely wrong, NECC is a level 4 and has a massive drug and gang problem. The biggest gang issue we have here is Family Values and they're having several overdoses a week there. My source is current staff who are employed there right now lmfao.
@@midwesttraveler2485 nah bud, 32 and have worked for DOC last 8 years in a different camp but I have plenty of people who either still work or transfered over from NECC. Nice try at a weak comeback kid.

Man, I did 13 years in Missouri state penitentiary system, and Bowling Green is NOT a tough prison of Missouri for real. Go to JCCC, Licking, Charleston, Crossroads, Bonterra, or Potosi… all are Wayyy tougher prisons in Missouri
I was thinking the same thing. If the Wall or JCCC I Remembered when this place opened up same as Bonne Terre and as you stated Charleston and Licking, and I believe Cross Road. By the way, Bonne Terre is now where they conduct executions/death penalty.
Also, when this place opened, they housed minors convicted as adults on one side and released the to general population once they hit 18. That's jacked up in my opinion.

@@UmdogTR please don't say African prisons. It's not a country. The 'prison' that I've been is called Devon Prerelease Center in Ekurhuleni between GP (Gauteng Province) and MP (Mpumalanga) . I was sentenced to 12 months direct imprisonment (i.e. no option of a fine). However because of parole conditions I knew that it meant 6 months IN which means my date was 20 December or 2010. Just in time for Christmas. You see I was convicted for being a threat for the ⚽ FIFA WORLD CUP 2010. tourists. I was convicted for Fraud and it was really strange that I got such a harsh sentence just for $10,000 dollar white collar crime. And they didn't allow me to represent myself instead they provided me with a Legal Aid (the free lawyer that's supposed to defend you if you cannot afford a lawyer.) But anyway that placeis a hotel. That one had a swimming pool, a library, computer labs, gym, sowing classes where they make outfits like tailoring, field work in the outside garden (that's how the weed gets in) sound system for Recreation, Sports equipment. the only contrabands were really just 3 which is weed, cellphones and weapons. Everything else is aloowed, including money, real cash is allowed up to R400. The money is used to buy at the shop. So the 'Prerelease' part I got to learn by asking guys what they were arrested for and to rep their hood and I found that some of the inmates are from Maximum prison (15years and up) and so the money and all that luxury is for these dudes to get integrated back to the community and to learn to use money and I also found that they put them in the same prison with non violent offenders who are doing no more that 2 years sentence. Now it made sense why there was not much violence. The most important thing was weed. If there was 2 consecutive days and there was no weed in all Units from B Unit to G Unit that's when they would be a small problem. Food is overdose. Everything clean. Hospital fully equipped. Everyone who wants a job gets employed and on Wednesday you can take the cash or leave it in your account. I was wearing a gold ring a gold chain I had so much cash that some days I wouldn't even go to the kitchen. I stay in my cell (4 mates per cell) 2 beds with the one on top. I slept at the bottom bed. I had a MP3 player blasting THE KING OF RNB "WHEN A WOMAN LOVES".
I'm a bit ashamed to say but it was a blast. I just felt bad for those who had no homes to return to after their done with their time.
That's was what I experienced thanks to the World Cup. If it wasn't for that World Cup I was just gonna pay a fine. I would have bailed in court already. The money was there all cash. So I blame the tourists but at least I was arrested on 20 December on a Sunday and sentenced on the next day... which was also strange. No bond. No remand. No bail. No appeal. Nothing. To protect the vulnerable tourists. At least I saw some of it plus I was in Soweto, Johannesburg 🇿🇦
