Short documentary about folsom prison, shot in november 2006 for Thomson Publishing. Still photos by Jason Harris: www.jason-harris.com, music by Dave Beatie & Mike Sloat.
Im from ny and I was headed in this direction I was never a violent guy but I was a hustler high grade weed n oxycontin was the shit I moved but my step pops who did 5 n half and my uncle did close to 25 years kept me out of jail they never let me get to crazy on the streets my step pops favorite words were "theres a lot of lonely nights in there" I thank them everyday im 26 now n if I didnt listen to them I wouldve defentily at least got my first bid in
I can agree with some of that. I've never abused my power EVER. It takes a special person to work in a place like that. I have seen people who get hired and soon as those gates close your in there until it's time to go home. They don't last a day they quit on the spot One thing about me is I don't play around. I've always said do your job, be as fair as you can be without breaking rules or the law. Personally if I see a bad CO I'm staying away from him. He's the kind that will get you killed.

@MRTINKLES1000 By definition, being a prison guard means you have power and are an authority figure. This can go to many peoples' heads, especially if they're never had power or authority before. Prison is a dehumanizing experience for all concerned, I would think. But brutality is something which should not be accepted. Many of the prisoners may be there because they were brutalized when they were younger or lacked a person who really cared for them,
El canton del Dracula ese!! In the real gangster code/book.You get points for stayin out.While ur eating,sleeping&showering w/other dudes.Im passin out CAMOTE to ya girl.When u parole,notice how she moves.No hate just Cuerno.
@MRTINKLES1000 True . Im a c.o and when my co workers found out my dad was the enforcer for a outlaw motorcycle gang , they were quick to distance themselves from me , for whatever reason .
MRTINKLES1000 , the funny thing is I do have xp's and I made it a little longer then you did. I worked for Florida State Prison for almost 4 years, and though there are bad apples in this job, they are in every walk of life, Look at bankers who take from staving families, or the senator who is on the bribe to put in a new strip mall, I think what happened to you is terrible, but I think you are the exception. Anytime u wanna talk hit me up. Would be glad to swap stories with u. Vek
i've just come across this and it was 9 years ago you asked, and i'm not sure if your still interested, but no, i'm not jealous, maybe i would be if you lived within 3 minutes from there.
Wow, you make a general remark about all Officers in this field, but yet you give no real details to support your very one sided view. This people deal with the Bane of society and you expect them to be happy go lucky...... come into the real world, Hats off to all Law Enforcement, they do a job that is thankless ever day and keep the people who would rather kill you or steal from you, or rap your loved one, so yea they have to be hard.

Folsom Prison is actually in a very beautiful area. Its near the town of Folsom which is nestled in the hills, northeast of Sacramento.
Was doing time in Folsom back in the 80's best damn prison in the hole state
how was it
you dam right
Family members have told me Folsom & san Quentin are really nice
I liked the music in this video. It was short, and to the point. I wish it was longer though, I'd like to see more.
There's only one man who made Folsom Prison Famous. The man in black
Johnny Cash
just went there for a week long prison tour! once in a life time experience

no, all the music is original that my friend Dave and I created; some of it is from garage band, some composed and recorded.
@mikejsloat the guitar music is very addictive is there somewhere that a full recording can be obtained
@THESERBOSTYLER It's in Folsom, California, which is a little east of Sacramento.
does that song they were playing in the background have a name?
I been a correctional officer for a lil over a year and i tell ya , its the damn truth when they say its hard to leave work at work .
it was produced for a criminal justice textbook- the only way to get it would be to buy the book through Cengage learning.
the warden is Kramer, who's the deputy, Newman!
I was the guy in the first scene playing chess in the yard!
Jamie Reyes are you fucking dumb
When I paint my house and want to cover alot of empty space I use officer Miller's mustache.
way to go Uncle Miller! You rock! Keep those prisoners within the perimeters!!

Most prison guards are retired navy seals or marines who've already made something of their lives..
