Its a huge problem and globally. The mental health institutions are either full up or underfunded. The mentally ill end up in jail repeatedly and often end up staying longer periods because they, sometimes unwillingly, get involved in crimes commited behind bars. It seems the justice dept., the jails and the pharmaceutical companies are the only parties that are making dollars from this.
@@EricScrapping4Dinidog 80% of Americans are criminals. Particularly committing white collar crimes. Most never are held accountable and avoid jail, pay bail or have the most expensive legal representation/friends in the judiciary, bribed or associates in the elite members club. Rub shoulders, do deals and do favours for each-other to avoid jail time if charged or are investigated. America is built on capitalism not spiritualism. i.e. Biden, Clintons, OJ, etc etc.
We closed down our mental health institutions under President Reagan in the 80s. 99% of the people on the streets would have been housed and treated for MH and drug abuse under the old way. We didn’t let people shoot dope and walk around naked in a tent in the old days
I'm a disabled veteran that helps homeless veterans so I have a pretty good Insight on how this works and I work in Reno Nevada which is a hub station for drugs that get dispensed throughout the country
Unfortunately the men that are incarcerated have to do it themselves. They have to rise above all the negativity of prison and be the change they want in their lives. They will have to seek therapy once they come home. The prison purposely doesn't rehabilitate because they need the bodies to keep the prisons a float and staffed in these rural farm towns. If a person is rehabilitated that's one less person the system can count on to help them be employed.
As somebody who works with mental health in jail, admitting that you’re having suicidal thoughts does not mean you’re “getting help.” They stripped him of everything and put him in a safety smock in a segregated cell. I’m so sad for Alex that he was talked to that way. The reality though is he’s right- we can offer some types of meds but other than that and listening, there’s nothing we can really do.
America don't need more prison. America need more mental health support institution , community treatment center and rehabilitation programs centers. prisons need to be abolished.
I agree. The governor of Illinois is telling killers to apply for parole or being pardoned. He’s going to release them. Most don’t want to be released. Sad but true! My son is a corrections officer and seen it personally. Watch your kids because this State is releasing dangerous criminals
@Babybold_yk2 you can blame Reagan for the 1980 MHSA that pushed funding to the states to enact community based programs, because the goal was to reduce federal funding. This caused a chain reaction of dismantling mental health agencies across the board, because the states couldn't handle and keep up with programming to address patients'needs. Parts of MHSA were repealed, but the damage was done, and the effects are still seen today, and the poor, marginalized, and disadvantaged are the most effected.
Really a week is not long enough to find out what it is like in jail I think you would have to be in jail for some time to know what it is really like thanks awesome documentary 👍👍👍
My ex fiance was there, and I heard some crazy ppl, and yes, this is one of the toughest prisons. Once you get locked up, Texas owns you your just a number. I was scared for him it was always locked down. God bless who has family in jail 🙏
Mental health affects our health, wellness, and lives. Yet, we treat it like it doesn't matter. It should be taken more seriously than it does. Our lives depend on it.
Been to jail 6 times in Michigan 3 times in Wayne County and 3 in Macomb County it's no fun @ all my last time was 2006 it's really how you maintain yourself and respect personal space you're good I plan not to ever go back to jail it's definitely not the place for me
6:087:00 Made me appreciate my freedom alot. I love being able to see my family my lady and doing what I want to do. Eat what I want to eat and just enjoying freedom. This place is not is not a place to live. It's just not worth it fellas. Why waist our lives to be pets when we can live and enjoy life. I remember bring locked down I just wanted to cry and break down because the thought of losing everything and not being able to see the ones I love is a hurtful feeling and can turn you into a monster. It's just not worth it
To those behind bars you should have thought about your actions before committing your crimes whatever they was and you wouldn't be eating 🐖 slop meals and going to bed early like a 6 year old child to Alex I hope you get your life together so you can be with your mom and sister and see your step dad in prison or jail you don't get to leave for funeral of your family you are stuck behind bars and to Reggie Yates maybe you can be Alex mentor and help him find someone who can help him with his depression 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
The U.S. has a larger population than most countries. Also China if you trust their numbers don’t include the 400,000 Uyghurs and the more than 1 million that are “administratively” detained. [Source: Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI)].
We are living in a Godless society. And it turn it effects everything. So generations of families living without Jesus in their lives. They are living in lawlessness from one generation to the next. Until society gets back to God and parents actually start being parents. It'll only get worse.

dont be on the wrong side
making dollars is the American capitalist culture
I can’t stand people don’t think that criminals need to be punished

Trouble is there's no actual rehabilitation going on. That's why there's repeat offenders.

90% live better inside than outside. Best they keep them inside, protect community and build more prisons.

Big Difference Between Jails Vs Prisons;
They Are Not Interchangeable Terms.
Omg!! The guy who is there for the first time he shouldn’t be there, he just needs some help for his mental health.
There is a reason they say, "Don't mess with Texas"... Be glad you were on the buttercup tour.
Texas? South American, Russian, and Thai prisons make Texas prisons seem like Disneyland.
@@jeffhatmaker817 no doubt, seemed more like the country club.

This is not prison it's a holiday camp.
As a former jail officer this is not how prison is
Go to your cell.
Ok
...Is the camera on?

He's not being treated as a inmate.
Sometimes... i miss the order and routine of being incarcerated.
Whoa
This is a big reason for the revolving door in prisons. 😢
Damn 🫢
Sounds like you have post incarceration syndrome.
Just go back. I promise we won’t even trip 😂

When that first CO said "nice to meet you" I knew this whole production was BS
Right!
Exactly
Just him taking the cuffs off let me know this was bs
I used to say that all the time when I was an officer. That’s common
I wish they’d upload a new video, 11:01 this is old. 🙁

Why do I See British Reporters always doing Documentary on American Prisons. . Why they do a Movie about European Prisoners.
Thanks for spreading the not so good word!
Getting housed on the frist day of booking is krazy 😂😂😂😂
