Listening to this made me realize how similar mental facilities are to jails... Pretty much the same day-to-day activities and treatment. Since I've never been in a jail or prison, I can't say for sure, but I would argue that some aspects make the mental facility worse... I could write a *lot* of horror stories about stuff that happened to me while locked up.
This is why I don't want to talk to people, even my therapist, about my problems. If I'm too honest then I'll be locked up in a mental facility that's similar to prison, and I'll be kept there until I can pretend I'm ok. America needs a better system for both prisons and mental facilities :(
As I posted already, I was told this by a prison psychiatrist in Canada that over 55% of people in prison (maybe higher percentile in other parts of the world) have severe, untreatable mental illness. You're right, the condition in there exacerbate any psychological problems one may already have and there's no help in there, you're just abandoned.
You are very right. I've been to both state run mental facilities and jail and they are very similar. Also state run rehabs are basically like being locked up as well with the treatment and the facilities being surrounded by barbwire fences (try and keep ppl from leaving and from outsiders sneaking in drug packages....doesn't really work though). I am sorry for whatever you have gone through at the mental health facilities you were at.
I have never been in prison or jail. However, I have been in a kids' shelter, and my roommate came from juvenile detention. All she would say about it was that she was very agitated and just wanted to see her kid again.
I was an Air Force officer for several years, and, as such, saluted basically every human being I ran into every day. You learned that when outdoors, you just don’t carry anything in your right hand. That was a tough habit to break.
The story that the boy told about his mom being in prison she passed away from a drunk driving accident before he had a chance to ask her anymore questions tore my heart out. I lost my dad last year he was my hero. What a sweet story though.
Father Thomas he passed from old age. He fell a few months before he passed and had a brain bleed and just went down hill from there. Before the fall he was still getting around pretty good except he had gone blind, he was 81. He had a good life but when I was 10 my mom took me to another state to live and I didn’t get to see him much. He was always there for me. I was a single mom as an adult and it made it hard to go see him. He begged me to move back and I hate myself for not doing that. Anyways 22 years flew by and I hadn’t gone to see him. Took for granted he would always be there. Surprised him in 2017 I flew out there to see him. Went back in 2018, drove out there with 2 of my grandsons to spend my birthday with him. I didn’t know I was out of time....
When the first one said "we're all addicts trying to get through this together" i started singing in my head "we're all in this together" from high school musical😂
Oh boy ... what really gets me is how lax DUI is spoken of by the people ... DUI is NOT a minor mistake or non-compliance. DUI is the decision to not caring if you kill someone and nothing less then that.
My brother has been in every Texas prison system mentioned here. This is his 5th time serving for meth. He just got released because of the rona. He will be back. He's a pos.
I hate it when the question is 'if you've been an inmate...' and all the answers are from everyone but inmates almost. Dude, I don't want to hear your story, I want the INMATES point of view. Not your child's, CO's or nextdoor neighbours.
I've been in jail before. Never prison. I can tell you right now, women are full of drama. Nothing but yelling and fighting all day long. they'd constantly put us on lockdown, because women just can't behave unlike the men downstairs in the pods below us. They got to stay out of their cells much later at night then we did and they didn't have to be quiet like the women did. There were a bunch of wanna be rappers in there and they'd all be rapping in unison at all hours of the night. they gave the men more privilege's than the women because of all the toxic never ending drama the women caused 24/7 . None of the guards liked working with the women and I can't blame them at all. when I was put on the medical ward after having a seizure, there weren't really any women there but guys in the cell next to me. but at least it was far quieter. An with concrete walls separate the cells I could only hear the guys, some kept trying to talk to me but I wasn't interested. The only thing I hated about being in medical was using the toilet, you had to hope no male inmates were walking by. Anyway that's been about 12 years ago now. Staying out of trouble to avoid going back.
Also, I'm sure a lot more people online have been in jail or prison than they want to admit. Many people who've ever been in either jail or prison don't really like to talk about it.
My father was in for 10yrs for getting into an accident while drunk driving (both drivers were drunk but my dad lived) and he refuses to close doors or turn lights off, he has like 6 lamps and not a single shadow in his room 😂
I worked as a corrections officer for a few years. I've heard and seen some really funny stories... but the best one was Shitman The Barbarian. This 6'4, very dark-skinned black man, we'll call him Joey, was put into "the hole" aka solitary confinement. Our solitary was way more humane than your typical solitary. They had a window with sunlight and they had lights and a toilet/sinks near their bunk. They are left out once a day for an hour for recreation. Anyways, this guy decided to, over the course of about two weeks, somehow save up all of his shit in dixie cups in his room. I have no idea how nobody found it before the "incident." This guy one night lathered himself in his own shit from head to toe, completely naked, and began screaming at the top of his lungs and pounding on the door. I was working this unit at the time, so I went up to see what was going on. His cell was on the second story up a set of stairs. I looked in. Smelled the shit, saw him lathered in it, and calmly walked downstairs again. I got my radio from the control box and called for the rovers, trying to keep my composure and stop laughing, while I said that "Joey lathered himself from head to toe in shit." The rovers came down and we did some brainstorming on what we were going to do. We decided the only sanitary way to address this was to take the fire hose (not as powerful as a firetruck hose, but pretty powerful anyways), put the hose in the trap door where we put their food trays, and just let it open while trying to keep it trained on him. As we do this, the water starts pouring out from under the door, gets the other cells on the block flooded with shitty water, and generally ended up not being a good time. One of the guards had garbage boots on and slipped and busted his jaw on the railing. I just stood there watching while he got blasted with water and washed his smart idea wash out under the door. We took him out in the rec yard and made him wash up with a bucket and soap, put him in a turtle suit (smock) and took everything he had away from him with the exception of a mattress pad for his bunk. After all was said and done, his protest was because he didn't get a phone call, of which he could have just asked for at any time because it was related to his case.

@@D33Lux I can believe that. I imagine if someone were to interview all the people in prisons, they would find a lot of them were mentally/ physically abused or damaged in some way. Unlikely they ever dealt with their trauma and that can lead to a wide variety of pyschological problems. It's a sad cycle, damaged people cause damage.
Probably should have let the other inmates in the unit take care of him. LOL I know not allowed. But would have been 100% guaranteed he'd never do that again.
Mind was was exactly that, we were pregnant and the principal told not only fellow staff of her’s, but students and our parents before we had a chance to....
My husband used to teach at an alternative school where students had been expelled from regular high schools and most were gang affiliated. They would take the students to visit prisons and speak with prisoners. My husband is a large man, think offensive/defensive line. He said the women's prison scared him way more than the men's prison. I have a feeling it's because of the things they said to him. One visit he heard his name being called out from behind one of cell doors. Said his blood ran cold. Turns out it was a former student.
not jail but in a mental institution, took a wile but being able to use ties and belts took me a wile to get use to again. also having pens and pencils when ever i wanted was a great thing
was in county for 6 months and I got out I had to sleep with a dim light on when I got out cause that how it was in jail. We only got 5 hours of that then the bright ass light would come on. I would learn to sleep with blanket over my head. I had lost my contacts after getting there and had to walk around blind as F for like 1 month and was terrified especially after one girl tried to fight me that was bigger then me. Bob barker made literally everything from uniforms to handcuffs. People would fight over soap and toilet paper. Got off probation in oct and never plan on going back. It’s a life learning experience that’s for sure.
My mom got this recipe from one of our friends you take ramen boil it to a soft drain the water add queso nacho cheese and chopped up summer sausage it's so good make sure you drain the water you just want soft noodles cheese and meat
Oh my god, the goof thing. Now I understand. My ex has never been to prison, that I knew of, but he would get so offended when I called him goof or goofy. I never understood why but now I do....

@@violapasta0750 An opinion is as such until you use your own to limit someone else's ability to have one. I love this channel and hope to see, in my opinion, a good change
@@violapasta0750 If you don't want to hear other peoples opinion, have you considered they don't want to hear yours either? You can disagree, that's totally legit, but don't forbid people to voice their opinions, or you'll be wrong even if you are right, if you get what i mean.
The 1st story, damn what kinda prison was she is!? Where I'm from your treated like shit if your kicking something. Or at least it was like that when I was still a heroin junkie(been clean 7yrs). You were basically kept in a big ass room aka intake with everyone around u kicking too. 1 long bench for everyone to sit or sleep on, most ppl just sat on the floor to sleep. Only 1 or 2 toilets for the whole room. Sometimes it could be so crowded you couldn't even lay down if you wanted too. Also trust me there was no fucking yoga going on. Alcoholics would usually be sent to the med ward because well they really need to be a monitored with librium as they can die from the withdrawls, but us dope junkies only got motrin if you were lucky, and just went through it. Once you were done kicking (anywhere from 3 to 5 days) then you were moved to GP. No NA or AA meetings till you made it to GP. My experience with the whole razor things were you could get disposable razors on commissary, but obviously you couldn't keep them with your things as they are easy to make weapons with. So they would monitor you when shaving with them, then had to hand them back in.
@@blub-tf6rt No I don't. Not every IV addict gets AIDS or Hep C and thankfully I was one of those people. I was very lucky to not get it as I know many people that have gotten very sick from HIV and Hep C and people that have died horrible deaths from AIDS related illnesses. It also helped that I did not share needles.
Most prisons (or State systems) have unique language. So not surprising Google failed here. But the context of the story is that the women were using the razors as "adult toys".
My dad was in jail a few times, nothing violent, but the one time was in jail that i lived through, he was in there for about 6 months, that entire time, he got really pale, like we're Mexican and he was dark skinned, mostly from tanning, but when we were able to visit him, I'd see he was really really pale, he said he didn't go outside, at all. He also traded his commissary snacks for chores, he'd give someone an entire loaf of bread so that he didn't wash the bathroom, for example 😅 he could sleep at any time of the day but he also woke up early, so i have no idea how he didn't go insane. Well, i can't ask him now but i hope he didn't go through any bad thing
i done time in the u.k, prison isn't what people think. A few of the women in this vid naive as hell, you think confronting someone in jail who stole from you with words is gonna make them change their ways LOL.
The paedophiles that want chemical castration reminds me of a case in the 70s that opened my young eyes. At the time there was a regional news program that followed the 6O’Clock news called Nationwide, and the story of a man who’d spent 50 of his 74 yrs inside for child rape wanted chemical castration before his release and a bunch of “do gooders” were fighting his case… the old boy Knew he would reoffend yet these early SJWs wanted another boy or several to be victims to protect the old man’s rights…. I was 12, and could Not understand their reasons, nor can I now.
That nac saying she wasn't in gen. Pop because "she talked to much crap" ... is a try hard 😂 liar.. I can guarantee she's a check in...and stayed in protective custody. Every p.c's excuse for not being in gen pop is because they were to wild, talked to much shit, etc... hahaha
Oh she definitely is, or atleast internalized. She went straight to the white girls, made sure to specify their race too, the implication being because she felt safer with them than with the other girls (probably black) is what I think...because of the “violent” stereotype and the overgeneralization that they are all mean and aggressive, which is sad, and not true. “I only hung out with the ppl I felt were normal” 🤔 So the white people you stayed around? But like, this bitch is acting like she’s all high and mighty like she’s not in the same correctional facility??? Lmao. Glad she got robbed tbh.
I just looked it up and it's a way to say goodbye and I'm non-violently leaving the table. Some prisons you can't speak to anyone while in the chow hall so they knock on the table once when leaving. The other inmates respond by knocking on the underside of the table to acknowledge the knock and to say goodbye too.
Also at one of the prisons my dad was transferred to, a pedophile was shoved from the top of the stairs. He died and even the guards looked the other way because this sicko apparently killed a baby through his sexual acts on the infant.
20:25 - It really ticks me off that (probably poor) people can actually get jail-time for underage drinking, when (1) almost every college kid has done this at least once, and even if they are caught, they just pay a small fine, and (2) the vast majority of countries in the world allow drinking at 16, and most of them don’t even enforce that. American attitudes towards alcohol are weird to say the least.
My ex used to make ramen with chorizo, sliced cheese and crushed fritos wrapped in a tortilla - prison burrito.. or ramen, tuna, mayo, diced pickles and crushed fritos or cheezits, depending on your taste - convict casserole He'd also make a type of prison cake from different kinds of cookies crushed up, sugar, honey and cream cheese packets and a tiny bit of milk. I'm sure there were other things he made, but those are the only 3 that I remember and still make on occasion. He did 16 years total so the only cooking he knew how to do was convict style. I had to teach him how to use a microwave, TV remote, computer and cellphone, amongst other things, after he got out. Also taught him how to cook in a real kitchen too. lol
When I was in elementary I didn't know what the Virgin means and I randomly use it in sentences and I used to say my cousin is from Krypton to random people
Lol nice guys I used to think I had lizard powers and and one time I was throwing a brick at a ply wood frame and the brick ricocheted off of it and hit me in the head don't worry though I didn't get any serious injuries
The semantics always frustrate me. There is no such thing as an "ex" con. Once you are convicted, you are a "con" forever. You don't stop being a convict upon your release or even when you 12/12 your bit. You can turn your life around and become Sainted, but if you were a "con", you are a "con".
These videos & stories do not really explain prisons. The few prison staff & ex-staff also have limited perspectives. Here in Australia, some of our prisons use the USA model. This is criminogenesis. The aim to is create MORE CRIMINALS. Enlighten societies try to avoid depriving people from institutional bullying. Long term bullying (institutionalization) means training the person to not want to be independent. Current "success" in prison is being a successful criminal, by not getting caught. Most "graduates" of imprisonment have shown to be poor students. RECIDIVISM ( returning to bad criminals, & therefore further imprisonment) is the usual expected result of the old "justice systems. When I was 23, the whities here decided that as a colored person in Australia, that I could be a "Mr. Big". They fabricated enough "scientific" evidence to give me six years hard labor, in Sydney, 1975. Being very professional myself, I knew that whities like punishing "deviates", so my anthropological research willingly accepted their "justice system". The research term is called "participant observer". Now investigating whether REDDIT is sufficient now as a research tool. Anthropology is like other western inventions: Politically Correct Propaganda of the Dominant Group. We colored people are forced to use English concepts & words, ATM. New death myself: old & very frail. Hopefully some smart youngsters here might change the way "facts" are allowed to become known, one day.
I'm from the UK and have no idea what the difference is between jail and prison. I thought they were one and the same 🙈 Anybody???????? Edit : what is a GED Program? Thanks :)
The difference between jail and prison is that jail is where you are put temporarily ( 1-2 weeks to a year) depending what you did and when your trial is/was. Prison is more a long term . It's where you get put in for life and death sentences . A G. E. D . program is a General Education Diploma . It's the same thing as getting your high school diploma . It can help you get a job or admission to an educational or training program.
Jail is for anything crime that you have to serve anywhere from 1 to 364 days. Anything on the 1 yr mark you go to prison. Also a lot of people doing jail time could have a bail where they can get out if its paid or at least the 10% paid like say for unpaid fines, getting caught with small amounts of drugs or paraphernalia. Even if your waiting in jail for your prison sentences you usually have a bail to be out until you are fully sentences in court, unless your a murderer, chomo, or any other serious crimes like that no bail for you. There are different levels of prisons usually 1 the most non violent crimes pretty easy going, or ppl about to go home after their at the end of their sentences and have been a model prisoner. It then goes all the way up to a level 5, which is the worst of the worst 23 lock down 1 hour for rec all day everyday. Sometimes you dont even get that 1 hour for rec m, but maybe 1 to 2x a rec or a shower if your lucky. You eat in your single cell, and have very limited physical contact with the other prisoners.
I went to prison in Florida once. Was in a car with some guy, he hit someone. Even though I wasn't driving, they insisted I take a plea deal or the judge was gonna throw the book at me. Anyway, I did some snooping around and it turns out that my dad beat some guy up in the 80's and the pastor was that guy's boyfriend and set it all up just to get back at my dad. Yare yare dawa.
FL jails suck. I was in there twice in two different county’s. St. Lucie County and Collier County in Naples. Naples is a joke. Like adult day care while the other was like a real jail you’d kinda expect.
What prison did you go to (#1) in Texas tough shit if I've been on heroin for 20 yrs or on Klonopin (prescribed) for 25 yrs. benzo withdrawal is way worse. We had to get up at 3am to go to to school at 4. It sucked, I'm in TX. And OITNB IS NOT ACCURATE AT ALL!! I could go on for the length of this "video"! Also city jail, county jail and prison are so different!!
I hate the things that happen to the people but at the same time they knew the things they did was illegal (execpt the false accusations) and no matter how stupid the law is you cant really get mad when they get lovked up. Ive been informed that this is an insensitive way to think about it but if you cant do the time dont do the crime.

Stop the ultimatums PLEASE dude I wanna keep listening to your channel!!
I had a female friend who did time. A couple of funny things she told me. The dorm style prison was like a gym with bunks every 3 feet. Farts were weaponized. Groups of girls walk by someone’s bunk they didn’t like and fart. They called it a drive by 😂. Also the ventilation system hag these fans that drove air to the front where all the guards sat. So all farts were directed into the vents.
Out of curiosity, do you americans realize your prison system is completely fckd or do you think these stores are representational for prison in the modern world?

Says a lot for the US, getting jailed for underage drinking at 19. Here in the UK, we can drink at 18, and I'm led to believe, Germany it's 16.
alcohol laws in germany: 16 for wine and beer, anything else requires you to be 18
Meanwhile in Ireland… what is “drinking age”?
was in county for 6 months and I got out I had to sleep with a dim light on when I got out cause that how it was in jail. We only got 5 hours of that then the bright ass light would come on. I would learn to sleep with blanket over my head. I had lost my contacts after getting there and had to walk around blind as F for like 1 month and was terrified especially after one girl tried to fight me that was bigger then me. Bob barker made literally everything from uniforms to handcuffs. People would fight over soap and toilet paper. Got off probation in oct and never plan on going back. It’s a life learning experience that’s for sure.
Happy you made it home!
My mom got this recipe from one of our friends you take ramen boil it to a soft drain the water add queso nacho cheese and chopped up summer sausage it's so good make sure you drain the water you just want soft noodles cheese and meat
Oh my god, the goof thing. Now I understand. My ex has never been to prison, that I knew of, but he would get so offended when I called him goof or goofy. I never understood why but now I do....
Watch me puppers. These Reddits are so funny.
Watch me puppers, i need your wisdom
The prison system that is mostly about money and not rehabilitation
38:36 Dude get ear plugs. I have to sleep with ear plugs every night cause I'm the same way.
We need a different type of video time thingy. If I move forward a couple times and hear the same stuff I'm going to watch something else. And these always look so promising 😭
Please stop complaining. Other people might think these videos are good. Maybe try keeping your opinion to yourself once.
Dude what you just said is literally an opinion...
Did you forget we have something called Freedom of Speech?
@@violapasta0750 An opinion is as such until you use your own to limit someone else's ability to have one. I love this channel and hope to see, in my opinion, a good change
@@violapasta0750 If you don't want to hear other peoples opinion, have you considered they don't want to hear yours either? You can disagree, that's totally legit, but don't forbid people to voice their opinions, or you'll be wrong even if you are right, if you get what i mean.
@@Jonathanizer yes, i know exactly what you mean. I didn't mean for it to sound that way.
The 1st story, damn what kinda prison was she is!? Where I'm from your treated like shit if your kicking something. Or at least it was like that when I was still a heroin junkie(been clean 7yrs). You were basically kept in a big ass room aka intake with everyone around u kicking too. 1 long bench for everyone to sit or sleep on, most ppl just sat on the floor to sleep. Only 1 or 2 toilets for the whole room. Sometimes it could be so crowded you couldn't even lay down if you wanted too. Also trust me there was no fucking yoga going on. Alcoholics would usually be sent to the med ward because well they really need to be a monitored with librium as they can die from the withdrawls, but us dope junkies only got motrin if you were lucky, and just went through it. Once you were done kicking (anywhere from 3 to 5 days) then you were moved to GP. No NA or AA meetings till you made it to GP. My experience with the whole razor things were you could get disposable razors on commissary, but obviously you couldn't keep them with your things as they are easy to make weapons with. So they would monitor you when shaving with them, then had to hand them back in.
congrats on being clean!
@@smelly6137 Thank you! I now have 9 yrs sober and still going strong. Have a great day.
@@blub-tf6rt No I don't. Not every IV addict gets AIDS or Hep C and thankfully I was one of those people. I was very lucky to not get it as I know many people that have gotten very sick from HIV and Hep C and people that have died horrible deaths from AIDS related illnesses. It also helped that I did not share needles.
For the all seeing doggos: watch me doggos you beautiful majestic creatures
I tried googling prison corncob, but nothing came up xD
I think "corncob" was supposed to be slang for either Dildo and/or vibrator (Presumably for sex toy alternative) apparently..?
Most prisons (or State systems) have unique language. So not surprising Google failed here. But the context of the story is that the women were using the razors as "adult toys".
My dad was in jail a few times, nothing violent, but the one time was in jail that i lived through, he was in there for about 6 months, that entire time, he got really pale, like we're Mexican and he was dark skinned, mostly from tanning, but when we were able to visit him, I'd see he was really really pale, he said he didn't go outside, at all.
He also traded his commissary snacks for chores, he'd give someone an entire loaf of bread so that he didn't wash the bathroom, for example 😅 he could sleep at any time of the day but he also woke up early, so i have no idea how he didn't go insane. Well, i can't ask him now but i hope he didn't go through any bad thing
A lot of these sound like CPTSD, PTSD symptoms
i done time in the u.k, prison isn't what people think. A few of the women in this vid naive as hell, you think confronting someone in jail who stole from you with words is gonna make them change their ways LOL.
The one about eating the baby traumatised me...
Same
The paedophiles that want chemical castration reminds me of a case in the 70s that opened my young eyes. At the time there was a regional news program that followed the 6O’Clock news called Nationwide, and the story of a man who’d spent 50 of his 74 yrs inside for child rape wanted chemical castration before his release and a bunch of “do gooders” were fighting his case… the old boy Knew he would reoffend yet these early SJWs wanted another boy or several to be victims to protect the old man’s rights…. I was 12, and could Not understand their reasons, nor can I now.
That nac saying she wasn't in gen. Pop because "she talked to much crap" ... is a try hard 😂 liar.. I can guarantee she's a check in...and stayed in protective custody. Every p.c's excuse for not being in gen pop is because they were to wild, talked to much shit, etc... hahaha
I thought the same thing.
The OP who had her Butterfinger stolen gives me racist vibes.
saaaame
Time stamp?
I know! When she was like, "they tried to fight me" I was like, I wish they did😒
DONT LAY A FINGER ON MY BUTTERFINGER!!
Oh she definitely is, or atleast internalized. She went straight to the white girls, made sure to specify their race too, the implication being because she felt safer with them than with the other girls (probably black) is what I think...because of the “violent” stereotype and the overgeneralization that they are all mean and aggressive, which is sad, and not true. “I only hung out with the ppl I felt were normal” 🤔 So the white people you stayed around? But like, this bitch is acting like she’s all high and mighty like she’s not in the same correctional facility??? Lmao. Glad she got robbed tbh.
Can someone explain why the knocking before getting up?
I just looked it up and it's a way to say goodbye and I'm non-violently leaving the table. Some prisons you can't speak to anyone while in the chow hall so they knock on the table once when leaving. The other inmates respond by knocking on the underside of the table to acknowledge the knock and to say goodbye too.
My father did for years, he will never eat white rice as they served it with every meal.
Also at one of the prisons my dad was transferred to, a pedophile was shoved from the top of the stairs. He died and even the guards looked the other way because this sicko apparently killed a baby through his sexual acts on the infant.
20:25 - It really ticks me off that (probably poor) people can actually get jail-time for underage drinking, when (1) almost every college kid has done this at least once, and even if they are caught, they just pay a small fine, and (2) the vast majority of countries in the world allow drinking at 16, and most of them don’t even enforce that. American attitudes towards alcohol are weird to say the least.
The kid who went into the marines probably still eats like that
*Ramen with cheezits and sriracha on top
My ex used to make ramen with chorizo, sliced cheese and crushed fritos wrapped in a tortilla - prison burrito..
or ramen, tuna, mayo, diced pickles and crushed fritos or cheezits, depending on your taste - convict casserole
He'd also make a type of prison cake from different kinds of cookies crushed up, sugar, honey and cream cheese packets and a tiny bit of milk. I'm sure there were other things he made, but those are the only 3 that I remember and still make on occasion. He did 16 years total so the only cooking he knew how to do was convict style. I had to teach him how to use a microwave, TV remote, computer and cellphone, amongst other things, after he got out. Also taught him how to cook in a real kitchen too. lol
@@Kimi_Khaos you can put just about anything in a tortilla
Never fight in full view of gourds. Or pumpkins.
Bro the one about killing the love child and cooking and serving it up for the cheater was just messed up compared to the rest of them.🤤
It blows my mind that people get sent to jail for underage drinking in the US, land of the free my arse!
Hey I got one what's the most embarrassing thing you did as a kid
I threw my jacket in a toilet, ate grapes that another girl spit out, and told the wrong person i was lesbian when i was 9
Frostyblu star Jesus Christ
When I was in elementary I didn't know what the Virgin means and I randomly use it in sentences and I used to say my cousin is from Krypton to random people
Lol nice guys I used to think I had lizard powers and and one time I was throwing a brick at a ply wood frame and the brick ricocheted off of it and hit me in the head don't worry though I didn't get any serious injuries
Ok
The semantics always frustrate me. There is no such thing as an "ex" con. Once you are convicted, you are a "con" forever. You don't stop being a convict upon your release or even when you 12/12 your bit. You can turn your life around and become Sainted, but if you were a "con", you are a "con".
You should cool band kid stories.
Crazy world!
These videos & stories do not really explain prisons. The few prison staff & ex-staff also have limited perspectives. Here in Australia, some of our prisons use the USA model. This is criminogenesis. The aim to is create MORE CRIMINALS.
Enlighten societies try to avoid depriving people from institutional bullying. Long term bullying (institutionalization) means training the person to not want to be independent. Current "success" in prison is being a successful criminal, by not getting caught. Most "graduates" of imprisonment have shown to be poor students. RECIDIVISM ( returning to bad criminals, & therefore further imprisonment) is the usual expected result of the old "justice systems.
When I was 23, the whities here decided that as a colored person in Australia, that I could be a "Mr. Big". They fabricated enough "scientific" evidence to give me six years hard labor, in Sydney, 1975. Being very professional myself, I knew that whities like punishing "deviates", so my anthropological research willingly accepted their "justice system". The research term is called "participant observer".
Now investigating whether REDDIT is sufficient now as a research tool. Anthropology is like other western inventions: Politically Correct Propaganda of the Dominant Group. We colored people are forced to use English concepts & words, ATM. New death myself: old & very frail. Hopefully some smart youngsters here might change the way "facts" are allowed to become known, one day.
I'm from the UK and have no idea what the difference is between jail and prison. I thought they were one and the same 🙈
Anybody????????
Edit : what is a GED Program? Thanks :)
The difference between jail and prison is that jail is where you are put temporarily ( 1-2 weeks to a year) depending what you did and when your trial is/was. Prison is more a long term . It's where you get put in for life and death sentences . A G. E. D . program is a General Education Diploma . It's the same thing as getting your high school diploma . It can help you get a job or admission to an educational or training program.
Jail is for anything crime that you have to serve anywhere from 1 to 364 days. Anything on the 1 yr mark you go to prison. Also a lot of people doing jail time could have a bail where they can get out if its paid or at least the 10% paid like say for unpaid fines, getting caught with small amounts of drugs or paraphernalia. Even if your waiting in jail for your prison sentences you usually have a bail to be out until you are fully sentences in court, unless your a murderer, chomo, or any other serious crimes like that no bail for you. There are different levels of prisons usually 1 the most non violent crimes pretty easy going, or ppl about to go home after their at the end of their sentences and have been a model prisoner. It then goes all the way up to a level 5, which is the worst of the worst 23 lock down 1 hour for rec all day everyday. Sometimes you dont even get that 1 hour for rec m, but maybe 1 to 2x a rec or a shower if your lucky. You eat in your single cell, and have very limited physical contact with the other prisoners.
Lol people taking drama fiction as fact.
Is anyone else looking to see if there are comments about Orange is the New Black here?
“Not a women, never been in prison, but I watched a season of Orange is the new Black so I am an expert”….like 30% of these posts

I went to prison in Florida once. Was in a car with some guy, he hit someone. Even though I wasn't driving, they insisted I take a plea deal or the judge was gonna throw the book at me.
Anyway, I did some snooping around and it turns out that my dad beat some guy up in the 80's and the pastor was that guy's boyfriend and set it all up just to get back at my dad. Yare yare dawa.
FL jails suck. I was in there twice in two different county’s. St. Lucie County and Collier County in Naples. Naples is a joke. Like adult day care while the other was like a real jail you’d kinda expect.
@@JillianNoelle My post was a Jojo's reference.
What prison did you go to (#1) in Texas tough shit if I've been on heroin for 20 yrs or on Klonopin (prescribed) for 25 yrs. benzo withdrawal is way worse. We had to get up at 3am to go to to school at 4. It sucked, I'm in TX. And OITNB IS NOT ACCURATE AT ALL!! I could go on for the length of this "video"! Also city jail, county jail and prison are so different!!
Ms. Butterfinger's story sounded hella ignorant and racist
I hate the things that happen to the people but at the same time they knew the things they did was illegal (execpt the false accusations) and no matter how stupid the law is you cant really get mad when they get lovked up. Ive been informed that this is an insensitive way to think about it but if you cant do the time dont do the crime.
Some of this is PTSD ing me to things I do just from growing up with my mother. Just trapped and coming out with strange behaviors
35:36 that's what people did when covid started
23:18 wasnt used to have choices..
When you realize your previous relationship scarred you the same way prison does..
Glad im outta There
Good vid but please NEVER use that music again, annoying asf.
Can someone tell me the difference between a flamboyantly gay, black man and a flamboyantly black, gay man please and thank you?
Hey man... I really enjoy your channel but the ultimatums you put at the end (like and subscribe or: etc) really bother me... I'm a superstitious cat and I also HATE being compelled to like, subscribe, etc because its disingenuous so when you ask then give an or else it makes me feel fucked up because I don't wanna comply because you're asking when I would normally like TF out of your video then I gotta feel like some meme is gonna doom me for years because I didn't do what you asked... Stop the ultimatums PLEASE dude I wanna keep listening to your channel!!
I had a female friend who did time. A couple of funny things she told me. The dorm style prison was like a gym with bunks every 3 feet. Farts were weaponized. Groups of girls walk by someone’s bunk they didn’t like and fart. They called it a drive by 😂. Also the ventilation system hag these fans that drove air to the front where all the guards sat. So all farts were directed into the vents.
wach me puppers
Girl at 15 minutes seemed a little racist.
56:47 a jew?
Out of curiosity, do you americans realize your prison system is completely fckd or do you think these stores are representational for prison in the modern world?
