- Mukbang inside Maximum Security Prison | Singapore | Short Documentary
How hard is life in prison? We explore the prison regime through the eyes of officers and inmates in Changi’s Maximum-security prison. How does an inmate live in a single-man cell?
In this first episode, we enter a world behind bars to meet the inmates. We follow Graceson, a gangster who manages to get himself a new tattoo in prison and is duly caned for it; Khai, a professional skateboarder who is just coming to terms with the loss of his career; Rusdi who is counting down to his release in 50 days using packets of snacks; And Boon Keng gets into trouble for keeping origami in his cell during a cell search.

For context, Singapore imposes the death penalty for drug posession above a certain quantity. His 3-year sentence seems harsh by the standard of other countries, but it’s a mere slap on the wrist compared to hanging.
Don’t do drugs in Singapore.
True, one if not the most strict country in the world for consuming drugs (drugs could be many things, even cigarettes or beers could be drugs too but it's a too long discussion)
Don't eat chewing gum in Singapore , it's a offence and you will be arrested 😮 extremely draconian country
@@lindaandrews2351 h... s... you're right!
@@lindaandrews2351 Thankfully I know It's Illegal to sell gum there so It will be very easy to ignore since I already not chewing gum more than 3 years
drug start when first you consume cigarettes then beer @@ricordiaerei7776
2:07 "these trolleys will ensure the food is kept warn until it reaches the inmates"
2:50 "its very cold sometimes the meat is hard already"
right, i found that weird/sad too
I am 100% sure the food itself's alr cold and harden before they put it in the trolley
That's why singapore is sometimes called a developing developed country
I think he said, "mee" as in, the noodle. Still really sad.
I mean. That IS noodles , they cool quite fast,
Pretty wild to see people in these comments talk about "they have it so good" when you are literally seeing a kid doing 3 years in a tiny little box for getting high
What do you think the kid might have done to land in that box?
Read about the history of Singapore and you'll understand why it's the most peaceful and law abiding place on earth.
Yeah, Singapore is no joke. Their Country is clean and they have very strict laws and rules.
Rules are rules, don't break it. I love going there
Laws are there for a reason bud
Remember this Is a maximum prison. Prisons that are maximum are just like this, and the inmates interviewed most likely non violent.
Yes and no, non violent towards the camera man doesn’t mean they re non violent toward others
I'm pretty at that point I'm just happy to be able to interact with people. Look at their joyful faces at the breakfast, they can finally see something else other than that room
Well the last one interviewed was simply a drug abuser who happened to trespass the istana. Considering a tough law on drugs and his action was potentially a terrorist-level threat, he’s probably the chillest inmate right there
Singapore's hardest prisons are normal prisons i India
@@SIDEWAYS1.0 Sidewalks in india are toilets in singapore though.
That one guy seemed pretty chill and nonviolent to end up in solitary. I wonder if it's actually like a favour to him to not have more violent cellmates than a punishment?
Its not solitary. Its one-man cell
You don’t have to be violent to end up in the shu
It's not solitary. Every inmate is given a cell since COVID.
Otherwise it's usually 4 people per cell. And it's much worse.
at 2:50 he actually says "the mee (noodles) is hard already" he did mention that they were not given meat during lunchtime and was also eating noodles at the time, hence the comment
Mie not mee.
@@RIZFERDhe is mee and I am Yu
Honestly that food don't look bad. But living in that cell with no bed or even a chair, thats torture.
That's what I thought!! I'd go nuts in one day!
His whole cell looked really run down. Plus, he was literally standing on the rim of his toilet, while taking a shower. That part made me think on how pathetic his living condition was.
Good.
This kind of life for 3 years for a temporary high from drugs ! Wonder if he thinks whether the drugs were worth it ?
This is the way to stop the addiction problem in the west. Not babying them like how they do now
"if I have to give a point from 0-10 I will say maybe 0" wow 😂😂😂 and I was looking at it and thought doesn't look that bad
Compared to real singaporean street food though…
Try it. Prison and jail food is horrible. It literally says on most of the packaging "not for human consumption" at least here in America
Rice,fried noodle,stir fried vegie,fishball,sometime fish or chicken meat...the only thing food lack is seasoning!!!!
@@CarlPapa1990 American prisons are horrible, You cannot compare american prison food with prison food from countries like, Singapore, Netherlands, Sweden etc. America has one of the worst prisons ever, Not as in low security but more as in the inmates are handled like animals which is maybe why the people that get released always returns to the prison because they dont get rehabilitated to behave in a normal society. America needs rehab programs and to put restrictions on guns too.
Not having a bed or chair is already bad enough, but not even getting books must be the worst of all, nowhere for the mind to used and to mental escape... That cell might even be worse than US solitary, and that's saying something.
9:24 Amazing how a quirky background song can make a prisoner's plight seem fluffy.
Dang i could watch hours of this kinda documentary, sucks its such little time
they took this from cna insider. they have a series and the first episode is called How Tough is it Singapore Prison Life? this video can be found inside of that episode.
@@rebos6432Thank you
There was a long running series, based on prisons mostly all over the U.S. I think it was called lockdown.
There’s also another series called Jail(I believe), which is based on local jails.
Those will keep ya busy for a long time, and the theme songs will never leave ya brain 😝😉
Frrrr same
Everyone here needs to open a history book and learn about how Singapore was, and how it got to how it is now. The entire world needs to learn from it.
Learning what ? A lack of respect for freedoms and human rights ? A Draconian public order act ? And laws against freedom of speech ??
What about the slums?
I learn it from jojo your welcome...
From China? No thanks
@@fireemblemistrash75 You might want to look at a world map. 🌎
This is practically an expensice hotel compared to what we have here in the Philippines.
Watch the documentary about the Madagascar prison 🤣 Philippines prisons are luxury hotels in comparison
garbage comment, try Mexico's prison system
The food is better than food served to students in some schools in my country
Oh well...
The grass looks greener on the other side
Atleast, those students got some freedom to see the Sunlight daily. 🥲
@@RahulRk-tr7otthe students aren't criminals bro...accept wt is right..
The food they give high school kids and the food they give prisoners is about the same. Why? Because high school is just prison for kids :^)
Wow they've sleeping on the ground concrete floor, the prisoners takes hard times to a whole new level...
Remember in many cultures folks sleep on the floor their entire life. Im in Fiji and that's usually the case
After watching the Toughest Prisons In The World series, the Singaporean max prison is like 5-star hotel compared to them.
2:27 rip that guys apple on the ground
Compared to America, Singapore has much harsher sentences for drugs, but their prisons are far less violent, they have better food and it just seems like a more humane place. And remember that one place was max security, so I would think the lower security levels would be more open.
Usually the worst part of prison is the other prisoners, followed by the very concept of social removal
This is horrendous. They don't even get a proper bed and a mattress. They get 2 blankets, and that's it. Forced to sleep on the cold, hard floor. 40 months in prison, stuck in a tiny isolation cell for getting high is INSANE!
Also those food portions are tiny. I would need about twice that.
That's why you don't do crime in the first place, that's the consequences of their actions, also its a Maximum security prison so it might be different to other ones
So the answer is simple, don't break the laws in Singapore and you'll be fine.....
Youd manage with the food.
Or not.
Considering Singapore has spme of the strictest laws on drug possession, including death, he got off easy. Possesing chewing gum can land you in jail as well
Singapore is really warm... I'm guessing they don't have AC in there. Hopefully there's electric fan
Looks very well thought out.
They are so happy omg 😅
Jail food videos really do bring out my appetite
They should allow inmates to do mukbang for your entertainment.
What i find strange they use the door floor ports to serve the meals instead of using the middle port
It is to let you know you are placed very low in human rankings.
It's also a deterrent so if inmates have a sharp object they cannot direct the blade to your abdomen.
Thats smart@@andrewdoran4572
@@andrewdoran4572 human rankings? Dude we are all created equal there should never be ranks thank god I live in America
@@user-hh7jz9pm9s that's a fair response I guess, however, there is a slight flaw as I see it with how the world operates ( especially in the U.S)
So, if we are born all equal as you point out, can you please tell me why ( without life choices being included) why children are brought into this world into poverty, lack of nutrition and health care?
If we as humans were born equal , I can assure you the world would be a better place........so I guess you rarely climb down from your multi million dollar yacht and see the real world.
I agree that as we get older our environment and life choices can influence our future and general wellbeing, but only mother nature will decide if you are equal to others.
@@user-hh7jz9pm9s That's an ironic response, considering you're from America. People are treated very differently, especially by the cops and the law, based on their wealth in America.
Cameras seeing you go poop and shower😂
This is 100000000000 times way better then the Philippine toughest prison
bro just stole this from ChannelNews Asia
Clean and tidy. Food Pack properly. Nice clean cell. Definately very comfort jail compare to other country like columbia, peru,philipines, vietnam.
They have chairs elsewhere
@@willmorris5628okay?
WaLaou!!! Very tough huhh!!!
This is good to watch it reminds me of a hospital
That toothbrush is long enough to be an effective shank
Compared to the Maximum Security Prisons in the USA, Singapore's one is way more tame and nicer.
Well done
This is cool to see
They’re eating better food than most schools in America
good that all diet plans are solely based on health and not religion
buddy looks so stoked for floor breakfast.
I came here after Prison cell of Madagascar... It feels good better now.
If you see prison cell in France you'll be very surprise. You can have absolutely EVERYTHING from local store. Gaming, flat screen tv computer food, pan and fridge, ect fan,.. like literally everything.
I see prison cell somewhere in Europe had something like that🗿 But surely that just for Light Sentence, right?
@@zir456 nop , its the contrary. The more your sentence is long, the more you have privilège . In France " Long sentence " is considered more than 2 years. If you have to do more than 2 years, you go in a prison where they actually give you the key of your cell.
So yeah..
Nowdays, its like iphone for everybody, drugs and alcohol coming by drone, or catapulted..
Yeah, I went to Paris and can say your system is not working at all
@@wills5482 yeah its not working nowhere bro.. USA are imposing their liberal society everywhere.. so now we have violence growing at mach speed all over the world. France doesn't makes exception.
@@wills5482 why? Germany has low recidivism due to clean jails
Worst part of being in prison in Singapore has to be missing out on Singaporean food 😔
careful there brother, saying this will trigger the petty Malaysian bots to flood your comment feed 🤣
@@ultimaxed8239bro r u skizophrenic?
as a Malaysian the prison food looks pretty appetizing le LOL.
@@corgansow6173same XD
And Malaysian food :)
😊 TOP SERVICE,
7:38 Rusdi Ngawi woilah cik
At least he has really good soap. That in itself is enough to keep ultra man going.
Really minimalist lifestyle
the food looks better than my school lunch
This is interesting to watch. They have more control over inmates than other prisons I have seen.
This is EXACTLY what the United States needs. No more gangs to run a prison.
In the u.k even maximum security. You get a bed. How do they manage to sleep on that solid concrete. It’s sad.
Yeah thats why the crime rate in the uk is so much better. 83 per 1000 compared to singapores 8.4 per 1000.
@@freddy9646go move there then
@@babyp1nk lol jokes on you I did move there
@@freddy9646 congratations
@@babyp1nk🫵😂
The food surprisingly looks good.
All fun and games up until yall get the whip lashing lol
I think they get a couple of blankets, one to lay on and another to fold over as a makeshift pillow. Don’t believe there is any air con or even a fan in cells and Singapore has a hot humid tropical climate.
the prisoners seem so chill for being in a literal metal box
honestly norway and singapore have the same prison vibe honestly
must be pretty good there
Worst part of prison must be the prison part…
My man at the end there more concerned about how dry his soap is than getting out 😂😂
Ahh, chef prepared cuisine, yummy.
These prisons are really nice, especially compared to American especially South African prisons, but the crimes are very petty. I don’t feel like they’re trying to make a point that it’s that bad just that they’re trying to make a point that the crime isn’t worth it.
and now research the ridiculous reasons people are sent to jail in singapore...
@@leonrowe5445 well give us some examples? Instead of giving Singapore a bad name without any clear reasons? Most of them who are sent to prison are those who committed crimes such as molestation, thief, fraud, causing physical harm to others. So what are the ridiculous reasons?
@@NoStressMarkets drug consumption
@@spawned25 so that would be your ridiculous reason? Yeah I would not want Singapore to look like kensington.
@NoStressMarkets 3 years in a maximum security prison for a non-violent personal drug use charge? Yea man, that's beyond ridiculous. Absolutely barbaric.
Singapores prisoners have better food than school meals in America 💀
Parents should be making their kids lunches.
After I watch Mexican prison with 6 people in every cell, that looks luxury to me
They have better food than my old HS' cafeteria
Trueee I mean, compared to my office food as well
But you have choice to eat something else..
@@pyrimad8 I did. But most don't have that choice. The majority of students are using the free lunch program because they are in financial need. For some its their only meal. A sad reality in the US
It doesn't seem dangerous..... The inmates look tame 😂
Those are exceptions, they wouldn’t let people interview violent or unstable inmates (logically speaking that is, me no expert :P)
its more than meets the eye
They obviously have been offered leniency or reduced time for cooperating and being friendly for the camera. This whole piece seems like a marketing scheme for the Singaporean prison system, which makes no sense.
Its Singapore.. the whole country is tame🤣
@@n00bspankernah if you’ve lived here for a while, you’ll realise they are incredibly passionate about doing “documentaries” like this 😂 we even had a well made video about our public toilets a few years ago.
Very different with prison in the indonesia
Seems like everything is done on the floor.. Tough time over there 😬
damn, this cells is bigger than my rent room
You want 😂?
Nah those smiles at the begining man
Simply cut and paste from the original producer CNA Insider without crediting them?
Happiest looking prisoners ive seen 0:10
Mat Selamat: not so tough
Having your own cell is a luxury usually not seen in most prisons.
What I'd fear more than anything else if I was arrested is being alone in a cell for weeks or months. There's nothing worse than complete isolation.
So is a psychotic and smelly cellmate that wants to give it to you or worse.@@noorrougelewis6704
@@noorrougelewis6704 then you gotta work on self-improvement there, pushups, squatting, or whatever thing you do at there
@@noorrougelewis6704 you still have yard time where you can socialize. I think seriously having a cell to your own makes it more bearable. That's different from solitary where you dont even get to have yard time.
Cool
Interesting
Introverts: "i mean that looks fine to me"
Extroverts: "i love a 10 man cell"
The guys look so healthy, clean and handsome
They probably made them clean and shave and look presentable before any outside cameras were allowed in
Does that turn you on?
@@arguedscarab7985Watching the video, that dude was a fitness trainer, obviously he still works out while in there.
Oh God, airport chefs. That's cruel and unusual punishment.
American prisons (cells) should be more like this.
Damn 3 years for being high, so Singapore is no joke especially comepared to here in the Netherlands where softdrugs is legal in quantities for personal use
7:22 I know how this feels to a degree, in Edmonton they keep you in a cell that big for 24 hours before you can appeal to the justice of peace. Been in there a few times and it makes you loopy AF
Well this is much better than my country
The food there looks better than the free food we get in some british schools
I think it's very nice to have your meal adjusted to your dietary needs, get fruits and they have variations too. Idk about the flavor but their meal looks like the low sodium, low carb, msg-free, healthy catering service that I used to order (maybe they taste the same lol)
Low carb? Its all rice and noodles.
@@MrGeorgewf Well, clearly his meal isn't the low-carb one.
Max security for drug intake that's seems unfair tbh
Its singapore bro not thai
It is a very well known fact yet these prisoners chose to break it. Nobody forced them, they chose despite knowing how strict the drug laws are in singapore
Don't ever come to Singapore then
@@timngim583 Don't worry buddy wouldn't even think about that. Asia ain't my thing too much of a societal boogaloo for my liking.
It’s his 4th incarceration. So maybe that’s why his sentence is longer. Max security for a reason.
Even the food in my hostel is not good as this😂
They seem to feed them better than they do here in the USA. It's crazy how each and every prison is so different!
Lets be real here. Although i agree the food looks good. Thats what they showed the press. Clean cell by yourself? Probably for the press. I can almost guarantee there will be consequences for him insulting the food too the press. They are similiar here. Ive never been to "prison" but i did spend several months in a county jail in the southern usa which is considered way worse than prison. I was eventually found "not guilty". Ill never get that time back. I can say, based on the conditions i saw/was put through, what you see on film is the tip of the iceberg. That baton on the guards side looked.... used .. worn even. Just just keep that in mind
Compared to the Soviet Gulag and the British colony in 19th century Australia, this prison is like a paradise.
Compared to American prisons today this looks like paradise.
1:36 Low sugar for diabetic inmates, but 2 bowls of rice in their meal.
hhhaaaa
No sugar
@@the3onionsdiabetic people are not supposed to eat carbs like rice. They turn to blood sugar, not literal sugar.
@@bryanleeyf87 First off, thw only study that says that rice cannot be eaten by diabetic people is a single white rice study from 2012, also, whole grain rice is great for everyone, including diabetic people.
Wow ...have free food and free place to live..
Compared to other places this place has good food it seems
pov you chew gum
Wow..they have a lid on their food tray?
Keep in mind it's because of stuff like this, the reason why Singapore is so successful and it's such a beautiful country
Super video😊
3 years for drug consumption is crazy, people who do drugs have a problem putting them behind bars doesnt help them it just removes the problem for a certain amount of time. Most drug users still use it after getting released, they need a reformation program to solve the problem permanently
I would think it would be a solution. 3 years of this situation. After that amount of time that has passed, they are clean. I bet they think "Yeah I'm not doing another 3 years of that to get high for one night."
I'm not saying 3 years of that is right, just saying I bet they don't have a lot of repeat offenders.
Not that I've really done any research but I would think after their sentence they have to go through some sort of rehab program
Singapore is such a tiny country but with a crazily rich government and a well payed highly efficient management system, and has zero tolerance toward drugs. If you can still mange to get yourself some drug under such circumstances, you are very sussy. Your crime probably also includes Illegal smuggling of contraband at least.
Some people get less. I knew a guy who only got one year for an oz of weed, some speed and acid. Make no mistake, every drug is in Singapore, they are just sneaky about it, and its expensive. 😅
First guy looks so happy ☺️ Must be in there for chewing gum
My guy just wanted to know what it felt like to chew 5 gum
😂
correction , chewing gum is legal in Singapore , is a common misconception that is illegal , it is illegal if u sell gum in Singapore , consumption of gum is legal
Chewing gum has been legal since the 2000s
@@kaydenchia2121and even so, if a store decides to import and sell gum to their customers and get caught, they’ll likely get off with a warning or a $500 fine if anything. no one’s putting them behind bars 😂
The budget hotel room in Geyland is just a little bigger than these.
Compared to Malaysian prisons, they are literally in a hotel prison.
Mfw ah gong saf feeds us the same food as they do prisoners
They get better food than I got for all of school in America
Christ I thought those were two flatscreen tvs from far away at the beginning
Most happiest inmates
Looks safe. A bit uncomfortable, but I'd take safe over comfort any day.
LJ lah where for mee goreng one.
They are eating better food than me😂
The inmates are extremely lucky they’re in a nice prison
Three years for drug consumption in a place that provides your no commissary and full 48 hour lockdowns weekly? Who exactly is lucky here.
theres no bed, worse than US
@@smonyboy its common for most people to sleep on the ground in singapore, i do it and its alright. its hard to adjust to but it helps make my posture more straight, and sometimes when im sick or hurt i use blankets as cushions. different countries have cultures you might find weird!!
