  • In this eye-opening video, Larry delves into the heartbreaking issue of suicides in prison. We shed light on the harsh realities faced by those within the walls of incarceration.
    Suicide in prison is a complex and often overlooked problem, with factors ranging from mental health struggles to the dehumanizing environment of confinement. By confronting this issue head-on, we aim to spark meaningful conversations and advocate for much-needed reforms in the criminal justice system.

      ​​​@@tbone6924Incarceration as implemented in the US is inherently flawed, as is your viewpoint. Instead of prison being perceived as a method of rehabilitation, it's used as a vehicle for punishment. And because we Americans are stupid, the lot of us think that genuinely inhumane conditions and stripping of someone's entire livelihood equates to someone going "Oh, I've made a mistake, I won't be doing that again." No you silly weasel, when someone's options after getting out of prison are either a. Making no more than $7.25 an hour because nobody will hire an ex-convict or b. making a proper living by committing all the crimes that got them in jail in the first place. And it's no wonder why places like Denmark don't have a crisis of repeat offenders- because rehabilitation isn't seen as a weakness.

      It’s funny too because you’ve never seen someone with genuine mental health issues call people who commit suicide cowards. Which the overwhelming majority of prisoners already have depression and other issues. It’s like you trying to relate to a schizophrenic but you don’t even have 1/100th of their experience. And then you’re judging them for being schizophrenic on top of that.

      therapy is pointless and mental health meds are trash, you're not taught this in the main stream healthcare system in america.But mental health issues are not casued by trauma or chemical imbalance its a BS lie by the con industry of mental health. Real drs that tell the truth are called functional medicine MDs. mental health issues are casued by nutrition deficiencies thats it. your body gets all fkd up when just one or more vitamins are low. easy fix have the person you know do a myers cocktail IV and a vitamin d3 injection it cures mental health issues with in a week as high dose vtiamins ajust to your body. you get optimal levels of all vitamins same day. no need for oral supplements wich are almost uless you only absorb about 10 percent of the vitamin and doesnt really do anything. Just type in google nutrition IV therapy near me and have the person do a myers cocktail iv and a d3 injection. within a week the mental health issues will be gone. mental health issues are caused if your deficients in any b vitamin, magnesium or d3 vitamin. insurance wount cover it thse because there too effective. but you only have to do a myers cocktail iv and d3 injection once a month. life changing stuff. There not new they have been around since 1954. pro altheltes and super rich use them year round to stay healthy. you dont hear about them because regular drs and providers are paid to keep people sick

    I remember when I was in county jail for a several months and I signed a request form to speak to a therapist. I remember writing in big letters “IM NOT SUICIDAL” they took me out of public housing at 2am and places me in a all concrete holding cell for eight hours. After that they placed me in a 4x10 single man cell, no books, no tv, just my thoughts and the screams and shouts of the other inmates in neighboring single man cell. I didn’t even know I was on suicide watch until a guard who I was friendly with asked me why I was there. I don’t suffer from depression but that was truly a fucking pit of despair.

    I worked at a county jail for a time. If we had a suicide, we were instructed to leave the scene as is until the investigative team arrived. We were told not to discuss it and to fill out a report and keep our mouth shut. It was something nobody wanted to talk about and it was swept under the rug as fast as it could be. I discovered a young man who had hanged himself and the image of his body still haunts me to this day. I didn’t find out until later when another inmate told me, that things had been done to him by others in jail. He died by himself with nobody to hear his pain. To me, this was a bigger crime than anything he did. We desperately need more mental health care in prisons.

      Look at countries where their laws actually work, at least better than all the others in the world. The US is the one of the harshest and yet it gets worse and worse every year in terms of all crimes.
      It quite literally can’t be more obvious that it’s not only not working, but making itself worse.
      Keep in mind that’s the goal in the US though. The prison system is INSANELY profitable for certain people. That’s why it’s designed this way.

    There's many factors to this. Prison is too punished focused rather than rehabilitation focused. When you get out your treated like a second class citizen with no right to vote and you get turned away for various things because of discrimination based on criminal history. The view society has towards former inmates is that they'll just do it again which creates a self fulfilling prophecy. Society is at fault for our current justice systemm

Also there was only one typewriter (a typewriter) for the inmates to write letters. There was no encouragement on the end of the prison. Non violent crime, but so hard for us to help....

    The trick and not getting hurt in prison Is not breaking the law. Once you intentionally made a decision to jeopardize the comfort or safety of someone else. You lost the ability to complain about your situation. You made a clear demonstration that you did not care about them or anything they needed. Now That they are in a bad situation they want sympathy.

She gave 2 reasons, one because the prison is little over 100 years old (Some parts were built in 1970-80s). Second answer she gave is that the CO "union" mandated that there will be very few cameras on the compound/prison.

    It's because we don't really have a free country. The government is completely controlled by the wealthy and corporations. As the most, for me, obvious example is, when i had jury duty a few months ago, they asked us some questions before we were picked to serve on a particular jury. One of those questions was, was I willing to convict someone of a crime where that person could get a very long time in prison? What gives the government the right to ask any questions at all of a jury? And, that question in particular. It's the same as asking if I think it was a crime, and not just a law the government wanted.

I find it odd that we take people that are probably already closer than usual to commit suicide and put them in a place that is made to be depressing. I just think the problem might be more profound then just policies not being applied. I personally think that punishment is more a thing to scare others then really to help the person evolve. I have no solution. It's not my field but I think more studies should be made to maybe find a better way to handle of this. Prison is just a crazy concept to me.

    People don’t care until it happens to someone they love. While my husband was incarcerated, he threatened to kill himself when we were on the phone. I immediately called the institution and told them to put him on watch. I talked to some captain that was the shift commander and he didn’t take me seriously. I then told him if something happened to my husband he would have a serious problem on his hands and I would make sure he was prosecuted. I kept detailed records of who I talked to, the date and time and a summary of the conversation. I made sure they knew I was documenting everything. My husband was then put on watch and he remained on watch for a few weeks. The psychiatrist called me several times to give me updates. My husband has been home for 6 months now. I will be so relieved when he is off parole. We were fortunate enough to get a really good parole officer who has been a great resource.
