- Behind Bars Season 4 - Episode 3: Taichung Men´s Prison, Taiwan | 4K Prison Documentary
Behind Bars: Philippines - New Bilibid Prison: • Behind Bars: Philippin...
The Taichung Men´s Prison is the biggest and toughest prison in Taiwan. It houses four and a half thousand inmates. Among them some of the most dangerous criminals of the whole country. Over a hundred life sentences alone and more than a thousand prisoners are serving sentences of twenty years or more.
Monotony, confinement and around the clock video surveillance everywhere dictate the lives of the inmates. Only one time a week the inmates are allowed to spend time on the yard.
The prison works with what is known as progressive correctional treatment. This means that prisoners are divided into four levels. The better a prisoner behaves, the higher their level. And this determines, for example, how many packs of cigarettes a prisoner can buy and how often he is allowed to have visitors. The most important thing, however, is that the length of imprisonment is reduced with each level obtained. For most prisoners, this is a good reason to cause as little trouble as possible.

Generally speaking, Taiwan is a very safe place, ranks right up there as among the safest. But of course, criminals are everywhere. But I wonder if it’s a particular stigma, a stain of dishonor in a country that’s known for its good record? Is rehabilitation a priority? Well, this prison certainly has a certain points system to deal with the prisoners on the inside. Enjoy peeps.
Hey can you upload the video of the prison in the solomon islands?
@@JasonGulauma-ds8tz I think it's coming soon but I'll check. Thanks!
Bad people are everywhere
Narrator please control your breath 😂🤣😂 wtf!
@@everydayhen Since it appears that you are irritated by his voice, you should mute the video and read the captions.
This seems like one of the better prison systems. I see rehab, incentive programs, and reasonable policies.
and cigarettes.
Yes but remember they don't have the same over-population of criminals as they do in let's say America - good systems cost money - tax-money, and there are other things as well to pay with taxes, that is more important than criminals, such as hosptals....police....water....power....farms....infrastructure....and so on - criminals harm the economy they don't contribute to it so why should they expect to get any help if all they do is harm other people and society...? They shouldn't
Like here on Finland only we Have two and one person cells
Edit: and a tv
@@desolationtrees666 but many of the violent and difficult prisoners are sent out to 3rd party countries/private prisons.
你们知道在中国有所谓连坐制度吗 就是父母犯罪也一起惩罚没有犯罪的孩子 威胁犯罪分子
Compared to the city jails in the Philippines, Taiwan prison system is a luxury place and highly modernized. I can see it very clean and prisoners are well mannered.
The Philippines was bad but I still think Madagascar was the worst. One meal a day of some type of root . No nutritional value and prisoners die of malnutrition. Men sleep sandwiched together on the floor and can’t even turn over unless they all do together! I know prison isn’t supposed to be nice but Madagascar is inhumane.
@@jandedick7519 yes but the male madagascar prisoners had plenty of booty to hump every night 😛
@@jandedick7519 I agree, its insane
@@jandedick7519yep very true
Madagascar prison is something else
Even the food preparation is cleaner than Indian street food 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Lmao 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😅
This place looks like heaven compared to 90% of the "world's toughest prisons" It's not even close of being bad.
Copy/Paste 😂😂
“World’s Toughest Prisons - Taiwan”
70 year old inmate - “It’s not that bad at all…..”
I'd go there...🤣😂😅
Madagascar is the worst. Search for it
I'm not even gonna finish watching this. They act like having surveillance on them is a bad thing
I agree. I would rather be in this prison than in numerous jails/prisons around the United States.
And this is… *music intensifies* …the compulsory arts and crafts program.
The most well disciplined people i have seen in a prison
I remember teaching English in Taiwan. I was assigned to a rather “tough” school; those where kids come from lower income families. The kids are tamed compared to inner-city schools in the States. The kids in Taiwan acted tough and they were tough but I always envisioned putting them in an inner city school in the States. It would for sure scare them straight.
Even if they were fluent in English, they likely wouldn't even make it through the metal detectors without incident in truly rough places, like Detroit or Baltimore school districts.
@@MomMom4CubsDetroit is eminem soft
@@camhatu4466 Then they're a sociological anomaly so great it's paradoxical. With rotting buildings, underpaid teachers, low student/teacher ratio, obscenely out of date texts, and excessive use of social promotion, these well parented miracles could teach us all how to triumph over adversity.
Maybe one of the graduates that can read and write at or above a 10th grade level can write the instruction manual and give TED talks to promote it!
You are describing America if there was no blacks.
how would putting these taiwan kids in a shittier worse school set them straight? that's like putting a medium dangerous criminal into a max security prison and expecting him straight. rather he will become a wakandian and turn to a totall crime and evil
It’s amazing to see the success of prison systems focused on rehabilitation and helping inmates regain a footing in society versus punishment and humiliation. It shows that there’s a chance for people to make amends in some way and become better people.
Compared to the one in Madagascar this is a luxury hotel 😂
Everything is luxury compared to Madagascar...
RIGHT😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hell is better then madagascar
Y mask on in profile pic are you trans
I'm still shocked by that documentary
Its also interesting that the officers inside call the prisoners “classmates”, as in they are in prison to learn and I suppose its a lees derogatory term for them
Lol the old guy super happy that its not as tough as expected 😂
😂they also get wifi 5g
Such a tough place with their 4" 🍆 😂
This prison is paradise as compare to Madagascar largest prison where 6000+ inmates are kept in only 600 seat capacity prison. And their meals are only one spoonful of cooked kashavar every single day and sometimes they only get one meal a day. There is no question for space they stack one after another while they sleep. Around 200 inmate share 1 toilet . People die of malnutrition of starvation. Some inmates wait 4 years for their trial. Just imagine how tought that prison would be
For a prison, it appears to be relatively safe, with professionally courteous interaction between the inmates and their keepers, and without the over-the-top regimentation seen in places like Fuchu prison in Japan.
Compared to other prisons this is a definite 5 ⭐ prison.
I really love your content. Thank you so much for your work!
Thanks for a great film and upload.
request : north Korean prison
the whole country
I love how Luffy is there to keep the prisoners in order.
Thanks, and. Always upload more of this docs ❤
26:55 "Longlife" cigarettes! 😂
One episode should also be done on Indian Prison
There wasn't anything tough about this prison. It's rather safe and orderly.
More of this documentary, please
I really enjoyed this. I grew up in Taichung but actually never gave any thought of the prison.
Okay did anyone else find the ad funny when they said "if you wear glasses or contacts you must see this"😂. LOL very poor choice of words 😂
Man those uniforms are really clean and ironed!
So clean! After watching the Madagascar episode I was in tears and had nightmares. I’m glad some places keep areas clean to protect the prisoners health and consequently, everybody else in the building.
Madagascar prison is probably the worst place on earth.
Well done on the production! I've visited the art showrooms of a couple prisons in Taiwan. The work is outstanding.
Compared to Antananarivo Prison in Madagascar, this is Heaven!!!
I'm amazed and it was so clean
I did time in the US.
It was a lot worse than this.
They mean World's Cleanist Prisons lol
😅
More behind Bars videos plz
have you checked out the playlist of all episodes of Behind Bars we have so far? Under the playlists tab
@@FreeDocumentary yes
This is a nice change from the usual horrific prisons we see. It's clean, they have at least 4 dishes to pair with their rice, no one has to lie side by side to each other and almost everybody can buy toilettries because they have jobs. I bet some of them don't want to leave.
i think this is why there are some people who are good at being inmates but not so much being a free person -- the lack of a structured life outside of prison (i.e. the freedom to do anything you want) causes the person to not integrate well and sooner or later they're back in prison, even if they're well-mannered inside.
Il be honest, these videos make me happy to be a Swede, I know that even if I do commit a crime, I do not have to literally SUFFER for the rest of my life, even though I know our two neighbor countries Norway and Finland do it even better
I'm a Swede here in America and they seem to want people to suffer here as part of what is supposed to scare you from wanting to go there or come back (jail or prison) very unpleasant places to be here
Probably the worst example here is they have a full body restraint chair they will put people in
Dang
Prisons should be made to rehabilitate people and let them know are still welcome and loved in the community. Not torture them like an animal. If you should copy any country, It’s definitely in Europe, or The Nordics
I know. Well, some systems believe in treating people - even the ones who commit crimes - as humans. I like that and believe it's the only way to rehabilitate. Won't always work but it is the only way rehabilitation CAN work.
This is my hometown, where I live right now. We Taiwanese have no chance to know what is inside the Taichung prison. Thank you for this documentary to explore what the local residents are unable to know about.
This is like a free, all-inclusive stay at a beach resort compared to Madagascar.
No fr 😂 bc I’d RUN
Man, that prison is even better than my apartment
Compared to Madagascar this is the Hilton
The fact that they gave them something to do even in isolation that shows they care about everyone
Even the prisoners over there have more class and better manners that most Americans! 😃👍
Its worth noting that one of the reasons prison guards dont carry firearms is because most of the Taiwanese men had mandatory military training/conscription and carrying a gun isn't a great idea with all these tight hallways and cramped spaces.
Structure is key to be successful in Life. You have to have it in all aspects or…you fall for another’s ideals easily. I applaud systems that invoke such practices! Thanks🌸
The prisoners get food from people, that is checked for things concealed in it. But that food, could be edibles, infused and prepared, with drugs.
Please bring back dedeliest roads
we are working on it
Good video
Compared to the horrid squalor of other prisons in various countries, this one seems the most clean yet oddly chill one yet.
This is a great looking place from some iv seen actually vacation like compared to others
The best prison ive ever seen! This 5 star prison! Clean environment nice food plus you will get a job! Amazing taiwan!
Looks like working at Amazon with the clear bags lol
Hooo thanks for sharing amazing Documentary...
Well thought up. No guns! 😮 teaching incentives. I like it.
It’s so tolerant. Look at China😢 When a criminal commits a crime, his parents, friends, and children will also be punished, even if they didn’t commit a crime.Relying on this method to threaten criminals
Please bring back deadly road please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 it is the best documentary it motivate many people please
intresting how this prison is labeled as the toughest prison, yet most prisoners say it's ok
I am surprised they can bring in food from the outside. Not done many places.
Please do one on Irelands "toughest" prison? Mountjoy
Its more of a doss house but it will make your viewers laugh, we're a funny bunch.
GRATE‼️💪👌✔️
I would hate going to prison. I've been in jail on a couple occasions. It was bad enough but prison. It's not for me. Thanks for sharing.
good luck to you! Stay strong. You can do it!
Generally speaking, You 💯
All I can say is at least the guards pick their stuff up after searching it, in America they'll destroy your cell and walk away and expect you to clean up, regardless if there's a camera in the room or not
Well . because camera 😂
Usually you have to pick it up yourself.
（I lived in that damn place not too long ago）
This prison looks like a college 😂😂😂 it's so organized and beautiful
This is a luxury jail compared to Madagascar.
After watching this video i'm missing Taiwan now❤❤❤Working in Shu Lin County,Taipie,Taiwan wayback 2001 gave me lots of opportunities where i am right now.Wo Ai Ne Taiwan❤🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
An inmate openly informing on other inmates???? He wouldn’t last 2 minutes in American prison.
Honestly I think Asians by nature are not violent and crazy like Americans. The proof is there are no mass shooting, serial killers are almost non existent.
Modern Asia prisons are luxury compared to prisons in Thailand, Philippines, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador.
This is way, way better than Madagascar prison, this would be a vacation for the prisoners of Madagascar.
Yep true
Just because there are worse places, that doesn't mean that this is so good. They shouldn't be so cramped up and endure bad air quality inside their cells, they should be allowed more 'yard time', I didn't see any mentions of educational programs (as in, school), etc. 24/7 surveillance - very questionable. The loss of freedom should be the penalty in itself - adding to that should not be the purpose.
A tame maximum security prison is evidenced by the guards being able to keep striking weapons on them. Even officers working minimum and medium security facilities in the US feature unarmed guards, except the special operation response teams, lest their weapons be turnt against them.
Also, escape from a penitentiary on a tiny, well populated island who's nearest neighbor is super hostile wouldn't be pragmatically possible regardless of the thickness of the walls.
Its tough specially when the world don't give you much opportunity and you resorted on doing crime but prison taught you many things and opportunity while inside
Thank you God for everything I have
YES AMEN!!!!!
You're welcome
this would be a 5 star hotel in my country 😢
The isolation cells look like the normal cells in Malaysia 😂
This seems like a great system.
Pls make Documentry about Federal medical center Carswell fortworth tx,
Wtf have you seen any prison in the states?
Prisons in Taiwan are definitely not tough at all compared to most prisons in the world.
Toughest prisons? Madagascar has entered the chat.
Madagascar takes the trophy, prison there is worse than hell
It looks like a vacation
Seems like a pretty good place to be locked up.. extra food left over 😂😂
If they had the really bad criminals, then this would be a different story. But since most of them are on the lower end, it is honestly pretty fair. The prison is pretty nice but still has punishments/limitations to correct behavior, the prisoners and guards seem to be on good terms (compared to other places where it's a mini war), etc. The boredom/isolation sucks but is a fair punishment. I think this is a good standard of prison and prisoner. More low threat prisons should be like this.
Sometimes you just want to watch a prison documentary with the classic American narrator.
This admin should know the real meaning of toughest...
Come to South Africa
That kind of prison compared to my country Philippines are so definitely different 😂😂😂
Food looks decent. 😅
is this really a new ep or rerun?
it's new on our channel
This almost looks better than living free in America! Regular work, good free food. Structure. Western food. Clean environment. Efficient.
It almost seems like a good way to immigrate into the country. You go there, learn the language by getting immersed, work your way without bordem to a good job, and then get out and live in a mostly crime free city. Bam!
Clearly this is a 2 star Resort
21:06 did.. did.. did they really just translate his LAUGH?!
As an American I think that's the best way to run a prison, You'd think Our country could do but Our Government is so crooked that it just wouldn't work,
It was a bit "nostalgic" to see "Darlie" toothpaste (at 24:10). I've been in Taiwan a couple times, and also visit Asian markets in the US. Back in 1981 during my first trip, I saw "Darkie" toothpaste, and the picture was of a Black man with a wide grin and wearing a top hat. I laughed when I saw it, but the people in Taiwan didn't quite understand why I thought it was funny, so I tried to get them to realize that such a item would be seen as supportive of racial stereotypes. The name was eventually changed to "Darlie" with the man's appearance changed. I bought a tube of Darkie toothpaste back to the US, and when I showed it to a physician, he laughed but then mentioned that of the three main racial groups, the east Asians tend to have the worst dentition while the Black people tend to have the best, so the "marketing message" may be that if a person in Taiwan uses this toothpaste, then this may result in having excellent dentition--like that of a Black person.
This perison is sweet wow
Would like to see madgascar toughest prison
This looks pretty decent to me.
I'd choose this over being homeless
中国你犯罪 或者反对政府 那么你的父母孩子都要被惩罚 即使他们没有错 没有触犯法律 依靠这一点来让犯罪分子 反对者服从
Much better than Philippines and Haiti
I would say, tough but fair.
Thanks,
Hi
13.19 Brook!
Damn this prison is sweet bruh
