I worked that building a few times for OT when there were staffing shortages. Usually on third shift while they were sleeping. You guys have seen more of the building than I have. The A Honor Dorm was for the "good" inmates that earned the privilege of more open spaces and additional amenities such as a single bed and private(ish) showers. It is very sad to see that millions of dollars in of resources such as all the kitchen and dental facilities have been left to rot rather than being utilized to garner funds for the system. Also, would have been perfect for housing homeless people. They could learn real life skills rehabilitating the facility. Cooking. Barbering. Painting. Plumbing. Electronics. Etc. Vocations that will transfer to earning power that could lead to becoming self-sufficient.
Leisa1135 I so agree with you. I'm in Australia. World-wide, I see government facilities like this just left as -is and cannot for the life of me understand why efforts aren't made to even donate equipment and items perhaps to even less well off regions and countries ... just a collossal, crying shame.
I served time in the US Prison System & the reason why Passing of food in the dining hall is not allowed is because the Guards want to make sure that a Inmate isn't pressuring another Inmate out of their Food
You guys can even make a prison a fun adventure! At the same time though I could get a sense of the sadness and fear that the inmates had to be feeling. The way you so skillfully and creatively make these films is impressive. Thanks so much guys. I can't wait till the next adventure.

Great job exploring the prison Leslie. I totally agree with you that warehousing people in dehumanising conditions, many times for drug convictions does not produce a positive result for society. They come out worse than when they went in. Keep up your good work!
@@gacj2010 I wasn’t advocating for the abolishment of prisons. I support rehabilitation for younger and/or non-violent offenders as much as possible and incarceration for those who are violent and pose a threat to society. The US shouldn’t be the prison capital of the world and I don’t favor private “for profit” prisons which can create a $ incentive for incarceration.
@@rupertpearce9158 Understood. What solutions do you have for the problem. It runs deep. Its about breakdown of respect for life stemming from breakdown of family. How do you fix families and often single mothers trying to do their best. This is the deep place where it starts . Well , if we cant fix that , then kids learn from other kids, and the negative forces are appealing. Then we have the assault on you walking down a street or a knifing to another who is buying gas or on a city street or a push onto the tracks or into the street.

So I own a Historic Victorian house in a small town out in the desert. We’re famous for an old wild west prison that was known to be the roughest in the territory. The prison closed in 1909 and the gentleman that built my house purchased and took home one of the guard towers on a wagon and used it as a sleeping porch in the heat of the summer. Pretty sure it was the guard tower that had the gatlin gun in it and looked over the women’s cells and the yard. I converted the upper story to a guest room and the bottom floor is a utility room/laundry room now. Always loved old prisons. Now I’m obsessed with them. Thank you so much for this video!!! You’re welcome to my old dusty tower anytime!
I love their interaction, especially when Danny says "don't leave me"😂😆 that was too cute! Then the way way Leslie grabs his hands and says he won't!! Reassuring him!! They're so cute and funny
That looks like the old medium security in Rhode Island! almost exactly as i remember it was closed around 1991! then reopened for a few years later when the new prison bldg they built became over crowded! I spent 3 years there working my way through the system! I was in the riot in C dorm in1982! A CO was killed there but not at that time! That happened in the 70s before my time! it was over capacity in the late 80s till it closed in 91! average population was about 480! it was built to hold 240! the first bunk beds to go in were built by me a month after the riot! That's my story i've been out 30 years! Those metal things in the 4 big rooms are bunk beds, if you count them there were 60 per dorm giving a capacity of 480!the cells were in the basement segregation! The pool table was in the COs room at end of hall first floor! 2 nighter you would be locked up 2 days for minor prison infractions! The anchor painted on the floor is the state symbol of Rhode Island and is on our state flag! The state motto is "hope" not realistic in that place.
I agree w/you on the fact that the prisons here in America treat their inmates like trash. They're treated worse than animals is most cases. However, certain murderous crimes I feel should be prisoned in harsher conditions. Depends on the crime.
Thank you for another great tour. How claustrophobic those buildings are. Hard imagine having to stay in one of those. Kinda makes the hair on the back of your neck stand on end😳.
Really enjoyed this video, very interesting. A few years ago I worked in a donation store and a prison donation of those clear televisions and video players, never knew the reason for the clearness of them. Thanks for your adventures. 🙂

I wish I had met you there. I didn’t work in that building but I’ve been through it both when it was occupied and after. I could have given you a tour and explained some things. Better yet, I know some officers who worked there and loved the place. They could have given a far better tour. As far as I know, the state doesn’t own it anymore but if the current owners were cool with it, would have been a good time.
Is this in the state of Rhode Island. If so i would love to do this tour. Im working on a bill to protect the mentally disabled for being isolated 23 hrs a day with counseling and reading material. Our bill will offer them a longer time out for mental stability. Being able to take a class. For non-violent immediate threat inmates
Great video. I was locked up at a place just like this. There is so many things that I could explain to the questions that came up. It's too many to even start. Great video.
This was absolutely creepy. wow. Leslie, can you film an exploration of one of the prisons in Europe sometime so we can see the difference? I agree that it is important to rehab a person when possible. I think American prisons are so "barren" so as to discourage inmates from coming back. You guys be careful. We don't want to see you in prison any time. LOL
Donald Price Medium Security Facility in Cranston R.I. Named for C.O. Donald Price, Then 25, murdered in 1973 by 2 inmates. One received life, 10 years of which were in solitary. Only to be let out in leg irons and cuffs. The other 2nd degree offender got 40 years. The prison closed in 1992 due to the construction of the John J Moran correctional facility and was later reopened in 1997.
Ive worked in corrections for 6 years. Sharing food in the dining room is usually prohibited because food is one way to pay debts to other inmates from gambling or to pay for protection within the jail or prison. Gambling of any form isn't allowed in correctional facilities as far as I'm aware from experience.
Wish you guys could do the tour of Eastern State Penitentiary in Pennsylvania while you're here. A very good tour and creepy as hell at night. I know you used to also were able to rent it for so many hours during a night stay...(we did years ago)...with only the Spirits as tour guides. 👻 👻

A person can visit the old prison in Deer Lodge, MT. It is open to the public and is just a little creepier than this one. Smaller and older. It has history of some of the prisoners there and some of the cells are staged with original materials etc. to demonstrate how small the cells were. We walked through and it was really moving to imagine what went on. Thank you for this video, it was very interesting. You guys are the best!

Your cameras generate heat when they are working and recording. If you are in a humid and somewhat cool/cold environment, your lens will likely fog up. You got me as a new subscriber a few videos back. Thanks so much for your excellent content!
Hi guys. They say that the fogging or blurring of the lenses is due to spirit activity. That there is a spirit in front of your camera. I'm surprised u haven't come across that happening in some of your other abandoned places you've explored. Love your videos.
Having worked and trained in that particular building I can assure you that the reason your camera lenses were fogging up and the sudden cold drafts you felt in the different areas of the facility are a result of the place being haunted by the spirits of the incarcerated . If the tour was conducted at night, the experience would have been more vivid with the sounds of voices and unexplained noises....when we trained at night there, it would definitely rile them up quite a lot ......cold breeze on your neck ...hair raising on your arms for no reason ....it was always a unique experience...never knew what was going to happen ....but nice job on your tour and go back again at night and say hello to the boys....

The white clothes are for the ones who worked in the kitchen. Kitchen was the best job. It was more pay. I did it my last year. I went in at 5 a.m. and volunteer to do 2nd shift until 8 30 or 9. Pm . back to unit shower and off to bed. My last year went by so fast because i did that.

I think the original thinking in America behind making prisons a terrible place to be, was that the inmates wouldn't want to come back so they would do better when they got out. We have a saying, "If you do the crime, you gotta do the time." With all the repeat offenders though, clearly that thinking doesn't work too well. So either the prisons need to be even worse places to live or we need a whole new way to rehabilitate them.
I fell in love with the prison (kkkkk). How can you make it come to life again for the shooting? It was like seeing lots of shadows of offenders wandering around their daily life! Great job again, guys!!!
It's an interesting adventure. I liked the kitchen with the huge cisterns for soups and such. I enjoyed seeing all of the mechanical controls that the guards used. Yes Stephen King is the king of what scares you. I was able to see your video just fine but your breath was a bit ghostly looking :) The prison just kept going. Thank you for sharing.
Agree with you Leslie, this is one of your best explores ever! Thank you for taking your time and keeping the camera work smooth with enough time for the camera to focus for us viewers to pause the video on details for clarity. Very astute comparison about the prisons in USA and Canada being a 'business' vs. true rehab facilities. The view at 39:44 was brilliant cinematography.
Sorry Leslie, but I have to agree with Danny. It depends on the crime. For instance, If you hurt or kill children or are guilty of hate crimes that result in death, you do not deserve to be treated to any luxuries. Maybe you get 3 meals a day, a bed and access to facilities with which to keep yourself clean but little else. After all, you’ve denied your victim even that. Never hurt kids.
The prisoners pay for the calls. They purchase calling cards and those calls are expensive. They don’t do collect calls anymore from prisons. Great video! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun doing this one 👍🏻😊
It's $2-3 a min if it's local and same area code but even a city away can bump it up to $5 mins or farther away can be more even as high as $8 or $10 a minute
A relative used to be a Guard in a maximum security prison (convicted murderers) I remember her telling me there was zero privacy. She wore a uniform like police and the same gun. There were zero tolerance for violence or the gun did the talking unfortunately. She said it was a very stressful job. If I remember right the Red automated area i if committed more serious offense (or the "Hole" (none or very low sunlight basement) after fighting and breaking rules) and after behaving were moved to the upstairs with greater level of freedom and sunlight until finally released early on good behaviour or prior to the end of sentence time. This prison for ppl that committed offense like repeated drunk driving drug dealing etc and if the court sentence is "The weekend in jail" for stupid actions not because you're a career criminal I didn't see the Visitor entrance. Exactly like Airport Security, the same equipment you have to remove your jacket and empty pockets put shoes and gloves into a plastic bin which travels through a small X Ray machine while you stand inside the metal frame X Ray machine (you showed us that). The glass you see the prisoner inside during visit is almost 10cm thick and speak through a phone while the guards record it or just listen to the conversation. The tvs would be inside the cell so the inmate can change channels along with Art materials books and family pictures. Clear housing so drugs or any possible weapons cannot be placed inside without being seen inside. The big loudspeakers were for music like at Christmas or beside the TV so everyone can hear the baseball game. The microphone standing under where the tv was belongs in the office it's from the PA not for kareoke. I believe the little camera goes to the guard area for "Suicide watch" It does happen. A young woman of 19 or 20 committed suicide in her cell about 10 years ago. They're supposed to jump and intervene during any suicide attempts.

I can't imagine the number of violent incidents that have occurred in this prison over the decades. I would expect that the individual cells were safer than the communal dormitories, but having to spend years and years, living in a tiny cell, with just steel bars as a door, possibly with 2 inmates in each cell is something that I'm glad I have never had to experience.
The area where it said 2 nights is most likely the hole and the most common time in seg was probably 2 nights. People don't go to prison for 2 nights they go to county instead. Most states will only send you to prison if you have 2 years or more some states it's 1 and the only exception is if you're on parole and get in trouble you do a 90 day turnaround but they'd NEVER send someone to a state prison for only 2 nights it would 100% be county or city jail instead

There are, or at least were, back in the day, folks who would come in Friday night and leave on Sunday leading a regular life during the week. They, however, were not housed at this building but in the Minimum Security facility in the Work Release Wing. Work Release was an area where inmates would be let out on honor to go to work regular jobs and earn a real paycheck. A portion of their earnings went to the prison system to pay for their housing the rest went into their personal inmate accounts. Some inmates made more than the CO's. 2 nights was 48 hours where you gave up your radio and TV and other luxuries like job rather than facing an official disciplinary board. It was Officer's discretion. Upon the completion of the 48 hours everything went back to status quo. Usually got your job back too. Like an unpaid vacation.
At the time of its last closing it was never used as a Jail. The area with the white board was E Dorm. A 2 nighter was used rather than sending the inmate to Segregation. They would loose privileges ( recreation, visits, phones ) for 2 nights but it wouldn’t count against them as formal discipline
very intresting to see a American prison on they inside i know them only out movie,s but now we see it in slomotion so thats different thank you for sharing✌️☺️👌
Excellent job but always be careful and safe. Always remember to have fun but be safe. Can you please do more videos on castles and places in Europe and USA Once again excellent job keep it up. Be careful that nothing fellows you guys back from the prison and other places. I look forward to watching your next video.

Thanks for the tour. I don't think having inmates in bunks being watched is the same as treating them like animals. There are different levels of security to match the crime or behavior of the inmate. I know people who were in low level and were treated well and given opportunities with little restrictions, but if you have someone with no conscience and is a threat to hurt others, they have to be in a safe place kept from hurting others. I took care of a lot of inmates that came to the ER and had no problem with them, but many were very manipulative. I look at it as an animal has no control of where it is and I feel bad if they aren't in a good environment. The prisoners that are in maximum security, not low level offenders, but higher restricted prisons, put themselves in the environment they're in and it should be a place they don't want to return to. If someone raped and brutally murdered your child, would you want them in a comfortable recliner living at ease? I say provide food, clothing and shelter and give them counsel, but they have to earn anything else.

the cells that have the cameras in front of them are normally for the ones who wish to harm them selfs high is for high risk low is for the low risk inmates most older prisons have lead paint pealing from the walls plus you both should have masks on alot of absots in there. a honor dorm for those inmates who stay out of trouble and\or wor in the front offices
Never went in a prison but had prisoners on my eye exam chair. One came with 3 armed guys and handcuffs and anklechains. Guards in exam room. I knew after that he had killed 2 people. I was not at ease at all, before, during and after the exam haha.
54:00 The Bronx Bombers is a classic nickname for The New York Yankees baseball team. I'm a Yankee fan. 🇺🇲 That looks like Jorge Posada, the then Yankees catcher.

I live 10 minutes from this prison. It’s still active obviously except this building. There is another one down the street an abandoned women’s prison. But it’s almost impossible to get inside. My friend spent a few years at this prison
No, worries Mr. Leslie they do seperate the prisoners over, here. They have different sections and prisoners are placed in that area. The worst usually end up in solitary confinement and if they're good they get an hour outside a day. I do have to agree, that over in Europe you all do take very good care of your prisoners and their rehabilition.❤✌️

Hi guys. They say that the fogging or blurring of the lenses is due to spirit activity. That there is a spirit in front of your camera. I'm surprised u haven't come across that happening in some of your other abandoned places you've explored.
Love your videos.
I just want to say how handsome Lesley is! Seeing the prison is why I'm a good person! 🙂🤣
Ty for showing the video people in prison shouldn't be treated like animals
Having worked and trained in that particular building I can assure you that the reason your camera lenses were fogging up and the sudden cold drafts you felt in the different areas of the facility are a result of the place being haunted by the spirits of the incarcerated . If the tour was conducted at night, the experience would have been more vivid with the sounds of voices and unexplained noises....when we trained at night there, it would definitely rile them up quite a lot ......cold breeze on your neck ...hair raising on your arms for no reason ....it was always a unique experience...never knew what was going to happen ....but nice job on your tour and go back again at night and say hello to the boys....
Wow! 😳😬
The closed cell with a cross on it seemed fishy
👋 hello Lesley ❤️ oo! An old prison. Looks very interesting ☺️
Thanks for the interesting tour through the prison cells.

The white clothes are for the ones who worked in the kitchen. Kitchen was the best job. It was more pay. I did it my last year. I went in at 5 a.m. and volunteer to do 2nd shift until 8 30 or 9. Pm . back to unit shower and off to bed. My last year went by so fast because i did that.

I think the original thinking in America behind making prisons a terrible place to be, was that the inmates wouldn't want to come back so they would do better when they got out. We have a saying, "If you do the crime, you gotta do the time." With all the repeat offenders though, clearly that thinking doesn't work too well. So either the prisons need to be even worse places to live or we need a whole new way to rehabilitate them.
Yes ... correct
Love 💕 you guys
Thanks for all the hard work you do showing us these wonderful, awesome homes and buildings
“There’s some crimes I literally do not care”
SAME Danny. 😂 Leslie is too nice.
I've only explored one abandoned jail (8-story facility) and it was awesome, hopefully I can check out some more abandoned jails/prisons in the future
I fell in love with the prison (kkkkk). How can you make it come to life again for the shooting? It was like seeing lots of shadows of offenders wandering around their daily life! Great job again, guys!!!
I just love your show! And you are so awesome love from bc canada
Would like you to visit one of the prisons in Europe just to see the differences.
It's an interesting adventure. I liked the kitchen with the huge cisterns for soups and such. I enjoyed seeing all of the mechanical controls that the guards used. Yes Stephen King is the king of what scares you. I was able to see your video just fine but your breath was a bit ghostly looking :) The prison just kept going. Thank you for sharing.
Look up “Prison Insider” Belgium , interesting read.
Agree with you Leslie, this is one of your best explores ever! Thank you for taking your time and keeping the camera work smooth with enough time for the camera to focus for us viewers to pause the video on details for clarity.
Very astute comparison about the prisons in USA and Canada being a 'business' vs. true rehab facilities.
The view at 39:44 was brilliant cinematography.
Thanks so much really enjoyed
Great video, horrific conditions for prisoners
I thought this one was one of the nicer ones in America. Most are a lot worse
Sorry Leslie, but I have to agree with Danny. It depends on the crime. For instance, If you hurt or kill children or are guilty of hate crimes that result in death, you do not deserve to be treated to any luxuries. Maybe you get 3 meals a day, a bed and access to facilities with which to keep yourself clean but little else. After all, you’ve denied your victim even that. Never hurt kids.
Correct
Thank you guys for thinking outside the box.
That was interesting to see what a prison is like 👍 you both do your explors brilliantly 👏 thank you 😊
The prisoners pay for the calls. They purchase calling cards and those calls are expensive. They don’t do collect calls anymore from prisons. Great video! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun doing this one 👍🏻😊
google say it's about $2-3/min it's possible?
@@freedomfreedom6652 think about that! $2-3 a minute! Yes it’s possible 🙄
It's $2-3 a min if it's local and same area code but even a city away can bump it up to $5 mins or farther away can be more even as high as $8 or $10 a minute
A relative used to be a Guard in a maximum security prison (convicted murderers) I remember her telling me there was zero privacy. She wore a uniform like police and the same gun.
There were zero tolerance for violence or the gun did the talking unfortunately. She said it was a very stressful job.
If I remember right the Red automated area i if committed more serious offense (or the "Hole" (none or very low sunlight basement) after fighting and breaking rules) and after behaving were moved to the upstairs with greater level of freedom and sunlight until finally released early on good behaviour or prior to the end of sentence time.
This prison for ppl that committed offense like repeated drunk driving drug dealing etc and if the court sentence is
"The weekend in jail" for stupid actions not because you're a career criminal
I didn't see the Visitor entrance.
Exactly like Airport Security, the same equipment you have to remove your jacket and empty pockets put shoes and gloves into a plastic bin which travels through a small X Ray machine while you stand inside the metal frame X Ray machine (you showed us that).
The glass you see the prisoner inside during visit is almost 10cm thick and speak through a phone while the guards record it or just listen to the conversation.
The tvs would be inside the cell so the inmate can change channels along with Art materials books and family pictures.
Clear housing so drugs or any possible weapons cannot be placed inside without being seen inside.
The big loudspeakers were for music like at Christmas or beside the TV so everyone can hear the baseball game. The microphone standing under where the tv was belongs in the office it's from the PA not for kareoke.
I believe the little camera goes to the guard area for
"Suicide watch"
It does happen.
A young woman of 19 or 20 committed suicide in her cell about 10 years ago.
They're supposed to jump and intervene during any suicide attempts.
49:04 Those "Calendar 🗓 looking papers is how they would order food from outside the jail completely outdated for several years now.
Give them a break, y’all! It’s not a documentary, they’re just guessing along the way, it’s part of this channel’s charm!

To help teach Leslie and the others with their English. Don't crash on me for helping them with something that continually bugs me.
Most of the into was made up
They should use that for the homeless people... fix it up, make it a homeless shelter
Or illegal's shelter .........
I bet that prison holding a lot of memories

I can't imagine the number of violent incidents that have occurred in this prison over the decades.
I would expect that the individual cells were safer than the communal dormitories, but having to spend years and years, living in a tiny cell, with just steel bars as a door, possibly with 2 inmates in each cell is something that I'm glad I have never had to experience.
34:01 IF SOME HOW THAT IS WORKING THAT IS WORTH ABOUT 40K USD AND YOU LEFT IT THERE
Hi Lesley...very interesting video. I liked the transparent TV. Thank u n Danny
I was waiting for a security guard to jump out and ask, what are you doing in here. It didn't happen so maybe that's a good thing.
The area where it said 2 nights is most likely the hole and the most common time in seg was probably 2 nights. People don't go to prison for 2 nights they go to county instead. Most states will only send you to prison if you have 2 years or more some states it's 1 and the only exception is if you're on parole and get in trouble you do a 90 day turnaround but they'd NEVER send someone to a state prison for only 2 nights it would 100% be county or city jail instead

There are, or at least were, back in the day, folks who would come in Friday night and leave on Sunday leading a regular life during the week. They, however, were not housed at this building but in the Minimum Security facility in the Work Release Wing. Work Release was an area where inmates would be let out on honor to go to work regular jobs and earn a real paycheck. A portion of their earnings went to the prison system to pay for their housing the rest went into their personal inmate accounts. Some inmates made more than the CO's. 2 nights was 48 hours where you gave up your radio and TV and other luxuries like job rather than facing an official disciplinary board. It was Officer's discretion. Upon the completion of the 48 hours everything went back to status quo. Usually got your job back too. Like an unpaid vacation.
At the time of its last closing it was never used as a Jail. The area with the white board was E Dorm. A 2 nighter was used rather than sending the inmate to Segregation. They would loose privileges ( recreation, visits, phones ) for 2 nights but it wouldn’t count against them as formal discipline
I always watch your videos and I'm so amazed Everytime I watched it always take care with your self and advance merry Christmas to your team😘😘
very intresting to see a American prison on they inside i know them only out movie,s but now we see it in slomotion so thats different thank you for sharing✌️☺️👌

What happens when they respond about the telegram back to them with what words? What are we to do?
I don't think they're laughing at crime or victims.
I wasn't meaning they were laughing at that but thanks for your input
Lo veré cuando lo puedan traducir, muchas graciasss chaouuu les quiero

Thanks for the tour. I don't think having inmates in bunks being watched is the same as treating them like animals. There are different levels of security to match the crime or behavior of the inmate. I know people who were in low level and were treated well and given opportunities with little restrictions, but if you have someone with no conscience and is a threat to hurt others, they have to be in a safe place kept from hurting others. I took care of a lot of inmates that came to the ER and had no problem with them, but many were very manipulative. I look at it as an animal has no control of where it is and I feel bad if they aren't in a good environment. The prisoners that are in maximum security, not low level offenders, but higher restricted prisons, put themselves in the environment they're in and it should be a place they don't want to return to. If someone raped and brutally murdered your child, would you want them in a comfortable recliner living at ease? I say provide food, clothing and shelter and give them counsel, but they have to earn anything else.
The writing on the walls is fancy and called calligraphy writing.
It's scary looking
Enjoyed watching and listening to you guys. The “high” was for “high risk inmates”. So much more - interesting
You are correct in that rehabilitation is not the primary purpose.

QUE LINDO ERES ! ...BUENO TIENES TODO LINDO , OJOS DE LUCERO , GRACIAS POR CONTRSTAR
the cells that have the cameras in front of them are normally for the ones who wish to harm them selfs high is for high risk low is for the low risk inmates most older prisons have lead paint pealing from the walls plus you both should have masks on alot of absots in there. a honor dorm for those inmates who stay out of trouble and\or wor in the front offices
Leslie and your friend!
guys be so careful don't repeat mistake like in Las Vegas!!
PLEASE!!!
Never went in a prison but had prisoners on my eye exam chair. One came with 3 armed guys and handcuffs and anklechains. Guards in exam room. I knew after that he had killed 2 people. I was not at ease at all, before, during and after the exam haha.
But they get free health care.
@@jessicamessicak Like the illegals pouring across our border do !
Yes all free medical care.
54:00 The Bronx Bombers is a classic nickname for The New York Yankees baseball team. I'm a Yankee fan. 🇺🇲 That looks like Jorge Posada, the then Yankees catcher.

I live 10 minutes from this prison. It’s still active obviously except this building. There is another one down the street an abandoned women’s prison. But it’s almost impossible to get inside. My friend spent a few years at this prison
The old Donald Price looks pretty cool inside!
Respect from France 🇫🇷
No, worries Mr. Leslie they do seperate the prisoners over, here. They have different sections and prisoners are placed in that area. The worst usually end up in solitary confinement and if they're good they get an hour outside a day.
I do have to agree, that over in Europe you all do take very good care of your prisoners and their rehabilition.❤✌️
