The only bad thing is that kids are misdirected by stories of "Thug Life" being cool and the only way you get "respect" is by doing time and hurting people. What's really bad is that most if not all of these young people have no CLUE of what "respect" even means!!. To them, they confuse a tough guy reputation for respect. They really need to have a way to get into these kids psyche, and reteach them the meaning of Right and Wrong.
Well a lot of times it’s based on your priors who knows the guy probably had been arrested for robbery a few times and now possession solid case to prove they put him away
Grew up visiting my Grandparents in Natchez, on our trip to their house we always passed DCI on the highway and could see it clearly from our car. Always used to wonder as a kid what it was like in there....now I know! Thanks for posting, very interesting documentary 👍 ❤
@@ryanduray1 is your mindset to let drug users peddle this to the community and the children ? go off on an lsd high and hurt someone ? how about instead of jail they tap him on the wrist and then send him on his way with a nice warm glass of milk ? this kind of thinking is bad for society. shame on you.
@@timmyshore3755 By your logic, we shouldn't be allowed to possess anything that could possibly lead to anything dangerous. Alcohol is perfectly legal, despite countless cases of people getting wasted and killing someone. Your argument is ridiculous.
The same offence here in UK & you wouldnt even get arrested. 7 years in insane!!!! Note to self: be a good boy in 'Merica otherwise you're doing hard time!! 😥😥😥
'G Street Crime News Network' UA-cam channel has a lot of shocking stories about how bad Louisiana prisons were back in the 90's, the level of rape and violence was almost unbelievable.
On god G got stories that'll get you hooked like a junkie 😂 but them stories like Tay Tay, buttman, bambino, srgt larry and beast will make them reconsider going to prison. 😂 SLEEP LATE LOSE WEIGHT
I have to agree about the guy watching the clock all day in school. I don’t have a better system in mind but I do know that especially guys, some just aren’t mentally ready for school when we are required to be there. When I was I teen I couldn’t concentrate at all even the subjects like history that I now can’t get enough I just couldn’t do it at the time. If I could do it over again I’d had paid attention . If I could have done those same classes just a few years later I’d have done so much better. That being said, it’s not an excuse to be a criminal for sure. I had the same problems and I have never been arrested .
Majority of these men can’t cut it in life Working full time, rent, groceries, taxes, insurance. They don’t have the cognitive ability. Prison EVERYTHING is handed to them on a platter.
@@acemechanical275 After this punishment I wonder how these people that are punished will act when they get out. Rehabilitation should be the goal. The USA jails more people than the next five countries.
That is one of the saddest things I've heard "school ain't going to bring me any money", because school can bring you a whole lot of things plus money to survive and succeed!!!

@@timmyshore3755 I mean if they want to stay consistent and give criminals stronger sentences for abusing children but most of the times they get way less than 49 years
I was one of those people at DCI and there not that good to you,and truth be known we didn't deserve any better,I never committed a crime that I directly hurt anyone but I was a criminal,that was back in the 80.'s and I served my time,the only rehabilitation is found with in through JESUS Christ anything else will fail you like the system
Amen brother. I’m glad that the Most High Jesus Christ revealed Himself to you and that you answered the call. Glad you are free and doing better. Stay focused and stay on God’s path sir.
It’s amazing how they so openly show the world how they’ve set up the system specifically for these men to fail as often as possible. It’s all about money, the longer they stay in prison, the more money they get. It’s fucked up. And the fact that Louisiana is the most incarcerated place in the US, and the US is the most incarcerated country in the world… that makes Louisiana the most incarcerated place on earth.
Louisiana sucks for incarceration. If you get Locked up here, be ready to sit in a parish prison in a "DOC Dorm" living like your in parish prison instead of a real DoC facility. Commisary sucks and ZERO programs. If you have a lengthy sentence youll goto a DoC facility but under 5, Parish.
@@caustic625 I know how to get out of those parish dorms....it's gonna cost you some good time,but you'll be able to get in enough programs to get your days back,plus some! Be as absolutely unmanageable as possible in the parish...fight, buck on all C.O.s ,don't work if you make trustee, just wild out!..make em ship you to Hunts,then wherever you head from there, then just chill and enjoy a little more freedom. Prisons always better than any Parish..even your 90 in the field,at least you get fresh air, and can hit the weight pile. Much better than rotting in the Parish! It works!
I’m a bit concerned abt the officer who keeps writing inmates up for crooked pillows etc. to me that’s not helping them to be better when they get out. I’m completely against prisons for profit… inmates are guaranteed long sentences and less likely to get paroled…
I don't see how ppl build time in those big ass dorms. 45 men? I even saw a 90. I got cuffed in GA for a quick 2 yr bid. From the door I got housed in 60 man dorm. I immediately got in a fight, did my hole time, back in a dorm, 10 minutes got in a fight. Finally after that hole time followed by some AdSeg time they shipped me to a higher security camp. I got a 2 man cell, and did the rest of my time with no trouble. I can't do those dorms.
From working in corrections I experienced one of the scariest shifts ever because a Sargent refused to listen to a CO and the compound was put on lockdown until the unaccounted inmate was located...
That was an extraordinarily poor choice of words! Had I been given the incredibly difficult job as the Warden in one of the strictest law-and-order States in the Country, I would have worded that very differently! Perhaps using the phrase: A good percentage of whom are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt." There are, *without question,* innocent men serving time. And that breaks my heart. :(
My cousin is serving a 30 year sentence at DCI for one punch.The victim hit his head on the road. My cousin was charged with manslaughter instead of negligent homicide. I miss him. He went in 22 and won't come home until he 50.
@22:08🤡🤡, what he omitted is that it wasn't a gambling hall, it was a personal residence where the occupant + friends playing cards together. he also omitted that he went there with three others to rob the place, Lavigne shot one of his victims (survived) then Lavigne got shot back. wrong place wrong time my ass
I know this is old but I doubt things are any different today,some of the prison officers set these lads up to fail,they tell lies and get the lads on charges that are unnecessary,how are they supposed to improve and gain life skills,they are doomed to feel hopeless,helpless and frustrated,some of the prison officers are worse than the inmates,just more sly and misuse their power
Still amazes me that Robert had all of those charges and had the lightest sentence and best job out of everyone else. Last I heard police were looking for him for passing counterfeit bills.
Yep. Just looked him up to see so guess he learned nothing. That said, most of us will never know how hard it is getting out of prison and trying to function in the real world. Even though they’ve served their debt to society, those charges will follow them everywhere they go. It’s like a set up for failure in a way.
Some of these sentences are grossly unjust in my opinion. The 7 young man with 7 years for simply robbery and unauthorized use of a vehicle (whatever that is) is far too harsh. While I despise people who rob other people, it doesn't seem as though he even displayed a weapon. And the guy with 49 years for the attempted robbery who in that betting parlor who says he didn't fire the shot, plus the fact that no one died, that is excessive. The problem is, these inmate become free labor for the state and there is value in that. Today, we also see the police & prosecutor mis-conduct that occurs allot, which means that some of these men were likely innocent. Also, the fact that so many inmates were black is a sign of potential systematic racism. This prison is a travesty of justice. The entire system is.
They knew the consequences while they were doing it. I don’t agree with prison for victimless crimes , but if you do something knowing the risks that just shows a low iq.
Extremely unfortunate that most of them are more then likely, back in jail or prison by now or dead. Convictions follow you for life in every aspect of it. If you can help it, stay on the right side of the law. The worst crime in life is riding down a road to nowhere and once the legal system gets it's hands wrapped around you, it's extremely difficult to break loose. Its like a vice grip. I understand not all of them should be in there and some are less fortunate then others but don't ever allow your specific circumstances to dictate the outcome of your life. No matter where you come from, you make your own destiny in life. Don't be a legal statistic and don't ever allow yourself to judge a book by its cover. If your life circumstances are not favorable, turn it into a success story. Carve out your own path. People love that. Don't waste it and end up on a prison show.
Colby is doing well he is a PEng with a masters, has a wife, three kids, gainful employment. He probably finished his degree and licensing in prison. A conviction is not a life sentence
Majority of these men can’t cut it in life Working full time, rent, groceries, taxes, insurance. They don’t have the cognitive ability. Prison EVERYTHING is handed to them on a platter.
Its absolutely amazing how these guys will demonize regular people who work a 9 to 5 & act like normal folks are suckers, but when arrested they work for pennies.
Got caught up in Shreveport they gave me 3 years felony probation. I asked if I could transfer my probation back home to California they denied me so I went on the run 🏃♂️ for 3 years until the probation was over. When I finally got caught in Cali Louisiana didn’t even want me no more fuck Louisiana Prison system my mom and family have given over 50+ years
What a shit prison! Too many petty rules to be broken, too easily. Getting treated like a naughty kid, and doing slave labour all day is borderline abuse, and has religious like punishment, not rehabilitation, to hell with that! I'd do whatever I can to be transferred to a normal prison, at first opportunity!
You are in prison to be punished- where did these inmates get the idea that they have any freedom? - you gave that up when you committed a crime- the idea is to learn your lesson and never come back- you want to be free- don't commit crimes
The issue is finding a balance between punishment and rehab or prison becomes a revolving door and no one wins. That said, I do feel for those who committed a minor offense vs those who did a horrible crime.
@@woodynorris8224 Harriet Tubman broke the law, MLK broke the law, Jesus broke the law. Please do not brandish every prisoner as "bad". Louisiana is bible belt and inmates sometimes work on former plantations as modern day slaves.

@@stevemoore-nx8cq proud? That’s what you wanted to take from my comment. I haven’t spoken to my brother in over five years and couldn’t tell you the last time I spoke to my uncle. He won’t speak to anyone anymore. Pride is not something I would necessarily associate with my uncle however I do still care for him.He was very good to me and lived with us growing up .he used to bring me to school and taught me how to tie my shoes and lived with us at the time of the crime. My uncle’s case is very complicated. I won’t waste my time boring you with it or risk you shaking your head again. My sincere apologies.
Yeah, I'm not sure that's a flex
Good times and hard times i'll remember forever. D.C.I. was definitely a roller coaster ride. Too all who went through it i raise a cup of coffee to you. Stay strong and Hold your heads up and stay out of trouble. Prison is still HELL.
😊😊🎅🎅
I like the Warden in this documentary. He speaks very different and respectful from others I’ve met and heard.
he resigned for sexual misconduct.
you have never met a prison warden in your life you just watch documentaries and movies on them
You are funny! I used to work in a prison.
They try to sound nice for television but at work they are vicious and cruel just like most of the staff that works at a prison
I couldn't stand Warden Booty
Boy wait until all these guard stand before God in his court room an the warden too
I feel you man. Extending people's time in prison for leaving chicken bones in the chicken is ridiculous.
they will be rewarded
These inmates Socalled "Called the Shots on the Streets" but gets to Prison and "OBEY EVERY COMMAND". smh
Usually followed by a cool story and ended by, lemme borrow a soup you gotta lil coffee? I got you when my money comes in!
Shot callas know how to pick their battles. That's why they call the shots. It's the knucklehead, low class, ghetto brand idiots that fight useless nickel and dime fights.
49 years for attempt arm robbery oh my God that's insane. child mo Lester's get much more leniency
no it’s justice
@@timmyshore3755 I mean if they want to stay consistent and give criminals stronger sentences for abusing children but most of the times they get way less than 49 years
@@timmyshore3755I'm going to go out on a limb and say you are a white consertive?
@@timmyshore3755I bet the white inmates in there for attempt robbery didn’t get 49 yrs…
@@pharmies so what are you advocating for, exactly? harsher penalties for crimes against children or more lenient sentencing for armed robbers?
Thanks for the video. I cant wait to see them both
The sentences aren't meant to be fair. It's free labor for big corporations, they can't make money without people locked up...
I was one of those people at DCI and there not that good to you,and truth be known we didn't deserve any better,I never committed a crime that I directly hurt anyone but I was a criminal,that was back in the 80.'s and I served my time,the only rehabilitation is found with in through JESUS Christ anything else will fail you like the system
Amen brother. I’m glad that the Most High Jesus Christ revealed Himself to you and that you answered the call. Glad you are free and doing better. Stay focused and stay on God’s path sir.
Raman noodles and tuna fish,
corn chips are optional.
It’s amazing how they so openly show the world how they’ve set up the system specifically for these men to fail as often as possible. It’s all about money, the longer they stay in prison, the more money they get. It’s fucked up.
And the fact that Louisiana is the most incarcerated place in the US, and the US is the most incarcerated country in the world… that makes Louisiana the most incarcerated place on earth.
Truth. Makes me sick thinking about it
Louisiana sucks for incarceration. If you get Locked up here, be ready to sit in a parish prison in a "DOC Dorm" living like your in parish prison instead of a real DoC facility. Commisary sucks and ZERO programs.
If you have a lengthy sentence youll goto a DoC facility but under 5, Parish.
So why do we keep falling for it then. If you know it’s designed to get you caught up, so again why do we keep falling for it……
@@caustic625 I know how to get out of those parish dorms....it's gonna cost you some good time,but you'll be able to get in enough programs to get your days back,plus some! Be as absolutely unmanageable as possible in the parish...fight, buck on all C.O.s ,don't work if you make trustee, just wild out!..make em ship you to Hunts,then wherever you head from there, then just chill and enjoy a little more freedom. Prisons always better than any Parish..even your 90 in the field,at least you get fresh air, and can hit the weight pile. Much better than rotting in the Parish!
It works!
I’m a bit concerned abt the officer who keeps writing inmates up for crooked pillows etc. to me that’s not helping them to be better when they get out.
I’m completely against prisons for profit… inmates are guaranteed long sentences and less likely to get paroled…
I don't see how ppl build time in those big ass dorms. 45 men? I even saw a 90.
I got cuffed in GA for a quick 2 yr bid. From the door I got housed in 60 man dorm. I immediately got in a fight, did my hole time, back in a dorm, 10 minutes got in a fight.
Finally after that hole time followed by some AdSeg time they shipped me to a higher security camp.
I got a 2 man cell, and did the rest of my time with no trouble.
I can't do those dorms.
Colby is high as a kite 😂

Finally a new prison documentary 💯
21:00 "It can sometimes take over 20 mins to clear the count". 😆🤣 More like 2 hours!
Sometimes it dont clear
@@johneasley8691 facts
From working in corrections I experienced one of the scariest shifts ever because a Sargent refused to listen to a CO and the compound was put on lockdown until the unaccounted inmate was located...
That co on the bus at the beginning looks like the captain from the police academy movies.😂
21:52 The inmates...most of them are guilty..........MOST?!
That was an extraordinarily poor choice of words! Had I been given the incredibly difficult job as the Warden in one of the strictest law-and-order States in the Country, I would have worded that very differently! Perhaps using the phrase: A good percentage of whom are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt." There are, *without question,* innocent men serving time. And that breaks my heart. :(
Louisiana leads the Nation in prosecutor misconduct.
This is east feliciana parish… in west feliciana parish there is the angola prison which is supposed to be similar to this prison
These sentences are outrageous!!
They should be made mandatory in schools period
Crazy seeing this after watching all these Louisiana parole board hearings haha seen DCI on there a few times
My cousin is serving a 30 year sentence at DCI for one punch.The victim hit his head on the road. My cousin was charged with manslaughter instead of negligent homicide. I miss him. He went in 22 and won't come home until he 50.
Damn
Dang man thats messed up
@@ayeitsnino647
Shit man them a lot of years.
How long has he been incarcerated now?
That happens Alot... You gotta think twice before you act in this world
I’ve served 0 time, applaud me!
@22:08🤡🤡, what he omitted is that it wasn't a gambling hall, it was a personal residence where the occupant + friends playing cards together. he also omitted that he went there with three others to rob the place, Lavigne shot one of his victims (survived) then Lavigne got shot back. wrong place wrong time my ass
I know this is old but I doubt things are any different today,some of the prison officers set these lads up to fail,they tell lies and get the lads on charges that are unnecessary,how are they supposed to improve and gain life skills,they are doomed to feel hopeless,helpless and frustrated,some of the prison officers are worse than the inmates,just more sly and misuse their power
This is when prison was prison know it's just a bunch of young dudes roaming around causing havoc..
Damn 1 Dude got 7 years for distribution on cocaine at 17..... that’s a lot
At least it wasn't 20 years
Hey Chris. Great doc- what year was this video made?
Early 2000 I believe. :)
Gabe Williams is my my brother he is home and doin gud Zion city Baton Rouge la
Gabe funny 😂😂 he said I about to have these people slave me for a nickel 😅😅
Still amazes me that Robert had all of those charges and had the lightest sentence and best job out of everyone else. Last I heard police were looking for him for passing counterfeit bills.
I noticed that as well and the infractions if I heard them right was trivial
Yep. Just looked him up to see so guess he learned nothing. That said, most of us will never know how hard it is getting out of prison and trying to function in the real world. Even though they’ve served their debt to society, those charges will follow them everywhere they go. It’s like a set up for failure in a way.

HOW TO FIND WORKERS AFTER SLAVERY REFORM..... USA IS SAVAGE
Attempt armed robbery 49 yrs that's crazy
That comes to show u how fuck up our system really is 😢
Some of these sentences are grossly unjust in my opinion. The 7 young man with 7 years for simply robbery and unauthorized use of a vehicle (whatever that is) is far too harsh. While I despise people who rob other people, it doesn't seem as though he even displayed a weapon. And the guy with 49 years for the attempted robbery who in that betting parlor who says he didn't fire the shot, plus the fact that no one died, that is excessive. The problem is, these inmate become free labor for the state and there is value in that. Today, we also see the police & prosecutor mis-conduct that occurs allot, which means that some of these men were likely innocent. Also, the fact that so many inmates were black is a sign of potential systematic racism. This prison is a travesty of justice. The entire system is.
These drug sentences are ridiculous GO AFTER THE CARTELS! BUT AS LONG AS ALL THESE COUNTRIES MAKE MONEY THEY WON'T DO A DAM THING
Right. Very harsh
Agreed, it’s disgusting.
They knew the consequences while they were doing it. I don’t agree with prison for victimless crimes , but if you do something knowing the risks that just shows a low iq.
@@kevmoful No it shows people are desperate, cut off the CARTELS
@@lovesallanimals9948 if you are desperate and intelligent, you don’t need crime. Trust me
How are they dealing with chicken with NO gloves. Like whetttttt !!!!! So dangerous and absolutely disgusting .
He went to lockup for talking on line..not for fighting, but for talking on line..that's petty..real petty.
Extremely unfortunate that most of them are more then likely, back in jail or prison by now or dead. Convictions follow you for life in every aspect of it. If you can help it, stay on the right side of the law. The worst crime in life is riding down a road to nowhere and once the legal system gets it's hands wrapped around you, it's extremely difficult to break loose. Its like a vice grip. I understand not all of them should be in there and some are less fortunate then others but don't ever allow your specific circumstances to dictate the outcome of your life. No matter where you come from, you make your own destiny in life. Don't be a legal statistic and don't ever allow yourself to judge a book by its cover. If your life circumstances are not favorable, turn it into a success story. Carve out your own path. People love that. Don't waste it and end up on a prison show.
Colby Baxter seems to be doing well living in Colorado.
Top notch comment
☝️
Truth be told
Colby is doing well he is a PEng with a masters, has a wife, three kids, gainful employment. He probably finished his degree and licensing in prison. A conviction is not a life sentence
Majority of these men can’t cut it in life Working full time, rent, groceries, taxes, insurance. They don’t have the cognitive ability. Prison EVERYTHING is handed to them on a platter.
Especially in Louisiana with the second and third offense rules that are designed to keep you in prison forever
The bars move? Wrong answer! Now your existence will be much pleasant. Dude thought this would get him some special treatment
Shit reminds me of the movie LIFE.
Nun but Botha’s out there 🤦🏾♂️
I meannnnn you’re on to something , in LIFE they were in Mississippi. Mississippi is right next door to Louisiana lol
Its absolutely amazing how these guys will demonize regular people who work a 9 to 5 & act like normal folks are suckers, but when arrested they work for pennies.
All of them demonize hard working ppl?. Ever been to prison?

Watching from TRENTON NEW JERSEY
Willingboro NJ
I don't why I watch these really. I guess to be thankful that I'm not in that position.
They should never send non-violent criminals to prison.
This is sweet compared to prison I’ve been to an I’m from sc which is similar to this.
What a shit prison!
Too many petty rules to be broken, too easily.
Getting treated like a naughty kid, and doing slave labour all day is borderline abuse, and has religious like punishment, not rehabilitation, to hell with that!
I'd do whatever I can to be transferred to a normal prison, at first opportunity!
You are in prison to be punished- where did these inmates get the idea that they have any freedom? - you gave that up when you committed a crime- the idea is to learn your lesson and never come back- you want to be free- don't commit crimes
The issue is finding a balance between punishment and rehab or prison becomes a revolving door and no one wins. That said, I do feel for those who committed a minor offense vs those who did a horrible crime.
You're absolutely right
What an out of touch with reality statement 🤦🏽
@@woodynorris8224 Harriet Tubman broke the law, MLK broke the law, Jesus broke the law. Please do not brandish every prisoner as "bad". Louisiana is bible belt and inmates sometimes work on former plantations as modern day slaves.

I'm 74 years old! The inhumanity disgusting way these people are treated sickens me! I'm happy that they are sharing this abuse of human life with other Americans! However it remains a disgusting Miss Fortune about America absolutely disgusting the way they treat these human beings should be a crime! The way prisons are run and the disrespect given to human life! Not negating if they are guilty!
