    I used to be a corrections officer, until I couldn't take the corruption anymore and the mistreatment of inmates being ignored and swept under the rug. Gotta say this is all 100% spot on. I worked in seg and we had to do daily cell shakedowns, obviously and I found very few shanks in my time. That told me that they were always on the inmate's person.

    RESPECT is huge in prison. I was 23 when i got off the bus and the thing that stood out the most that week, was the respect amongst inmates. What I've learn, was respect is yours to lose and if u address a situation as soon as it happens most of the time it goes no further.

      Indeed. Politicians and people in power would be terrified if all people, black, white, hispanic, asian, left wing, center, right wing, gay, straight, etc, all came together. It would cripple their power over us. Half their job is to make sure we're divided, the only thing they really care about is THEM making money, and keeping their power. No matter how much bs they tell you, they care about their power first, and will tell you any bs to keep it. Corporations and politicians don't care about me or you at all. They can and will sell you out.

      Except that none of the custodial powers (in or out of prison) are forcing people to fight one another; tribal feuding has been a stain on our species since before there were prisons or governments, and continue regardless of who's in charge of them. And by the way, while I have no doubt the CO's don't want them to try it, the idea that the inmates could "join together and take over the prison" has no long term viability whatsoever; every time prisoners attempt that sort coup they either get beaten senseless by the guards, or get gassed and/or shot by state reinforcements, and the survivors are locked down by force. Like it or not, the state holds the power, and it is the holders of the reigns of power who define the parameters of the state. No civilian population has any chance of overwhelming their nation's military, and I can't think of a single actual-revolution in history that hasn't been utterly disastrous.

      Great 1 hour show about the 1993 Ohio prison riot on Netflix, can't remember the name right now, remember that the first thing that happened was 7 snitches got pulled out of their cells and beat to death by inmates with baseball bats

      One snitch was killed by having a metal pipe driven through how head. At least two were dismembered from what I've read. When the cops came in, they were wondering why the prisoners and taken sides of beef from the kitchen and hung them up in a cell blood. It wasn't beef, it was human torsos...

    My 38-year-old son is in prison for Meth and gun possession, he got 10 years. As a mother, I feel like outside of serious illness or death of a child this is the worst thing that could happen. I feel like all the joy has been sucked away and replaced with anxiety, guilt, and grief. It just sucks so so bad!

      If he was caught up with those things, he could have died. So while I'm sure it's of little comfort, you have to remember that 10 years in prison can just be a chapter in what could be a long and fruitful life. Hopefully he gets through the experience and is able to learn from it. All the best with your situation.

    I just discovered your channel 2 days ago and I have been binge watching. I'm amazed at your stories and experiences. I think it is incredible that you have taken such a negative part of your life and are using it for good and to help people. You seem like such a genuine good dude and I am so happy that you learned from your past and straightened your life out. I've heard stories my whole life because my father was unfortunately in prison in the 80s and served 5 years in the old Mansfield Prison. He is a great man, he had got busted for marijuana. I have heard horror stories from him and like you have said in past videos about how you can still hear screams, my dad says the same thing. He has said he can still hear the screams and cries of men getting shanked, raped or beaten. Anyway, I have nothing but love and respect for you Larry for what you're doing on this channel. God bless you Larry, stay safe and healthy. ✌

    Preface to a few related questions: for years (even before this pandemic), I had told my students the worst place to be in a pandemic is points of travel (airports, airlines, ships, etc) and institutions (schools, day care centers, long term care and of course prisons). Aside from this pandemic, does the system vaccinate prisoners on processing into the system? Do they provide annual flu vaccines and how does the prison system deal with infectious outbreaks.

  • @trajancaesar2662

    Watching your videos for a few days now, and here's what I learned thus far.
    1.) A lot more people get away with things like drugs, beatings, and rapes in prison than I imagined. I always imagined prison as a really controlled environment with less of that going on than it appears does. I mostly thought this because of the constant surveilance you'd be under in that environment.
    2.) Guards seem to have an inconsistent level of discipline, and self-control. Which seems to prove the Stanford Prison Experiment correct.

That there's like a bias against younger people and it's going to be a lot worse if you go to prison at a very young age cause of how everyone will treat you.
