I worked in several prisons in the US in the 90's and by far the most used and effective weapon I seen used was a "lock in a sock" followed closedly by the handle of a mop bucket (the part used to force the excess water from the wet mop).
Putting a lock in the sock is actually pretty amateur. You’re suppose to tie the sock around the u loop. If the lock is actually in the sock then you’re more likely to damage the threads
@buyerenogurlfwendo2106 not actually true. Tying lock to sock could cause lock to open and you lose your lock. Most convicts used a doubled sock with lock inside
An inmate in my country made a smart escape. He take a soap and shaped it to a small gun using a rock and he painted using Black Shoe Kiwi (you know the thing they put on shoes to make it more shinny) and he went to the main gate. He told the guard he was just looking around until he grabbed the guard from back and pointed the soap shaped gun at the guard's stomach. The guard saw it and think it was a real gun. He force the guard to open the gate and got away easily .
Shivs usually come in 2 varieties: defense or wounding which are usually slashing types or killing which are stabbing types. Though they can be used interchangeably because beggars cant be choosers. Use what you can get your hands on for whatever you need it for
I also like the fact that Simple Histories is very informative, and it has a lot of interesting facts about history. But I think it would be even more interesting if it had more jokes, and if it was more sarcastic. Like, for example, it could say "Hey, did you know that in ancient times, people used to think that the world was flat? Ha ha, silly humans!" Stuff like that.
Wait until you're living it, when it's your life on the line, when you have to keep your head on a swivel because death could come for you any second, from any direction. I still have the nightmares.
I remember a story my grandfather told me, when a riot broke out, some inmates had thrown some alcohol, and then a prisoner had a rubber band crossbow, with a alcohol soaked cloth tip, with a bamboo stick. They lit up the tip, and fired the improvised crossbow. My grandfather managed to get out unscaved, but his comrade had gotten doused, and was lit ablaze.
In the Philippines, the inmates of New Bilibid prison has handmade knives to high caliber weapons. Each prison inspection/raid always yield pistols to automatic weapons. Honestly i'm amazed that prison riots aren't that common with this kind of arsenals. Though i would like to point out that most of the drug lord or high profile criminals are kept here. So there was a lot of bribery and corruption. Heck some of the inmates cell had air-conditioning, dance pole for when they brought in hookers, bar, and other amenities you wouldn't usually find in a third world prison.
Zip guns aren't just a prison weapon. My grandfather used zip guns in the 50s he used a slam shotgun version were you can either slam it against a wall or push it really hard with your hands so it goes off. And they also used a pen gun variant of the zip gun so it could be easily hidden in his pockets. My dad told me about this after my grandfather had passed away because i was just barely getting into lowriders and oldies and stuff like that and he was into that type of stuff in highschool aswell
I'm honestly surprised ex-cons aren't held in higher regard, especially in the U.S. They can make so much out of so little, not just weapons. I've seen improvised medical equipment, tattoo guns, cooking ingredients and cookware, electronics, and so much more.
The problem is sorting the ones who can and do these sorts of things and the ones who can’t since you can’t say a group should be held in more regard because of the achievements of a small fraction who have nothing to do with the others.
Imagine going to prison for alleged 'robbery' when you're actually innocent, then suddenly while walking around you get blasted by a flamethrower from another inmate cell
I remembered one Mythbusters episodes Adam Savage & Jamie Hyneman escape the Alcatraz island prison using diy pontoon at night, based from old real story they tested it out
When i was in middle school i learned how to make a mini crossbow out of 8 pencils, 9 rubber bands, and a broken bic pen. It used the pen ink cartridges and tip as bolts and could fire up to 10 feet for effective range. I never got caught with it but it was pretty easy for it to break whenever the rubberband made the pencils slip off the grip.
I used 2 pencils, a shoelace, and rubber bands for the body and the arrows were made from another pencil with no eraser. It could shoot around the same.
The dude that made the anime weapons reminds me of a guy who's serving life in prison that makes models out of random stuff. Like the models being so well build you'd think it was some sort of kit you could buy online. Some of his models are in the Indiana Military Museum.
I been to prison. Who needs any of these items when you can just use a combination lock in a sock and thrash someone's head and face with the lock in a sock. It's real.
I once saw a film (based on a true story) about a prison break in South Africa where three prisoners smuggled scraps of wood out of the carpentry workshop. They were easy to carry and hide because of their tiny size. With these pieces of wood they made keys and escaped with them (the movie was set somewhere in the 70's when they had very simple locks where you just had to move the bolt).
You'd be surprised what people can come up with when they really want to kill somebody. It's really not that hard which is kind of scary. I just watched footage the other day of some people in Syria using a modern day homemade cannonball firing Cannon pretty impressive
Mythbusters actually made a prison-style crossbow using newspapers, the elastic from underwear, and bits from a lunch tray. While hardly a dependable weapon it still did damage on a ballistic manikin. The show also showed a homemade automatic pistol on display at a prison.
I'm from Argentina, inmates in countries like this make short spears, harpoons, maces and other weapons superior to the basic shivs, called "facas" here, and the tootbrushes with razors, called "feites" here. There's plenty of materials and lack of control to make weapons, also the conditions are infra-human compared to the luxurious and highly regulated prisons in the US and Europe.
@@LegendStormcrow Here the two main types of prison spears are the full iron ones (there's also iron machetes made from the same material) and the shivs attached to a broom stick, called "ventajeros".

Finally, a great video on prison weapons. Can't wait to try when I'm incarcerated! I've had prison guard friends who share many creative stories of bored, violent inmates. Nice to see this channel present great content once again.
I've seen the last one along with other confiscated shanks found in Stoney. I go there often but fortunately I just service equipment in the jail kitchen so I get to leave out the front door:) On a more serious note, my great uncle was murdered in that jail. He was an instructor in the prison wood work shop in 1974. A delusional prisoner who should not have been placed in that program beat him to death with a pipe clamp. I was five at the time so I didn't remember him but I'd be lying if I don't think about him every time I pass through those gates.
When I was in Bordeaux (Montreal) There was a guy who had boiling honey,water and bleech on him.It was horrific even though he was severely burned he fought back anyway...but it was not long after he passed out.The skin was falling off his back,neck and chest.It has to be the worse thing I have ever seen.I also see 2 guys stab a guy 9 times but it was nothing in comparison to the Boiling honey,water,bleech concoction.
I've seen a 3 foot long spear that an inmate made using styrofoam cups. It was almost as hard as steel and had a wicked point on the end. I would have hated being on the receiving end.
@Chris Clifford the inmate collected a large number of cups and had them stacked up. He slowly heated the stack up and used wet newspaper to squeeze it into a solid rod. Then he used the concrete floor to file the tip to a sharp point. When he was done it was stiffer than a wooden broom handle and almost as tuff as steel. You could have easily killed someone with it. All his hard work got his good behavior time taking away and 18 months in the SHU.
@@PANZERFAUST90 I've worked in prisons in 3 different states. From gen pop to SHU and even death row. If they aren't staff or custody they're inmates. Grow up and move out of your mom's basement.
@@Mika-ph6ku Its actually easy. The question is how much cotton bolls you have and which tools do you have. You can press+ strap them togheter into a massive stick, dip them into water, freeze and slap it into face and probably few more better combinations than that
The prison that I worked in for 3 years is where I saw the most disgusting side of humanity and the most amazing people who if they used their evil powers for good they would have gone far in life. We found home made taser!from a cell phone and a iPod. Blow guns and shanks. There is always crazy stuff that they come up with.
When i was in prison we had literally no personal belongings except books (not even metal glasses, we had to be issued new plastic ones and they did not care if you were blind). The main weapon used at the time i was there (they guards would ban or reform things so its probably something else now) were generic athsma pumps that were squashed, folded and sharpened on rough concrete to a tip.
So what you're saying is, prisoners are smart enough to make lethal weapons from nothing, but too dumb to grow up and be a decent member of society so they can have somewhat of a life
One other weapon that I heard of was a plastic bag filled with water and the inmate would drop the bag with water from a high place in the prison and the force of the water filled bag hitting the ground or some unfortunate person's head was roughly equivalent to dropping 2-3 bowling balls.
yo boiling sugar is NO JOKE that may be the worst I've heard. edit: after having watched the whole thing - Cloud's Buster sword is probably the most dangerous.
I made a working set of darts in jail, using a thick paperclip straightened, snapped to size, sharpened on concrete, slipped into a plastic tube from a q tip , which gave it a thicker grip, then used paper and tape to make the flights - they worked really well.
I know that creating content so frequently can be challenging and trying to find new inspiration and ideas can be too. I just want to thank your channel for always delivering great content on a regular basis. you're easily one of my favorite channels if not my favorite of all.
Even though they are criminals and these weapons are use to maim or kill. I got to give the inventors credit these are extremely inventive and creative
This right here presents a simple question: if prison isn't enough to keep people from engineering deadly weapons, why should we trust the law to keep deadly weapons out of the hands of people outside of prison? If anything the crude nature of improvised weapons are more cruel than professionally manufactured ones, as improvised weapons have a high risk of getting their victim infected with something.
My dad said he saw someone get stabbed in the neck with the handle of a metal spoon. You don’t necessarily need to make a weapon you just got to be strong AF sometimes
i work in a prison and ive seen shanks made of everything and anything you can ever imagine, even plastic out of the back of a small fan. they put them in there small kettle and slowly melt the plastic over time and form it into a blade, sharpen it, and then they will even mould handles. they like materials like this because it can go through the metal detector. there innovative thats for sure
You forgot one of the most common weapons inmates in prison use. The Lock and Sock. A standard issue stretched prison sock tied to a standard canteen combination lock. Can be very deadly if struck in just the right spot. (Generally the face and head area). It's basically a short rope with a 1/4 Lb. Steel ball at the end.
Razor blades are not tied to toothbrushes. They are heated with a lighter then while hot embedded into the plastic toothbrush. Don't ask me how I know.
I could see a cool video game in the style of Manhunt. An lone inmate has to sneak around a huge prison island that was been overturned, fighting off any enemy inmates with these make shift weapons. Parts for the weapons would have to be found around the island.
My dad and 2 other guys used months to make a model head to keep under their covers during count. In the meantime, they were digging through the cell vent to get to the roof. Down on the shore line after they jumped off the roof, they took out rubber homemade floats and swam to safety never to be found again. He still bees me 5 usd.
As a former CO in Ryker's island, I can approve of this video. Alot of people don't give respect to an inmate's ingenuity. I've seen them use plug outlets to start fires to smoke cigarettes, found very crude weapons made by inmates that consisted of everything from vinyl tile to cigarette butts that were burned and pressed into blades (heated fiberglass from the filters melt and harden to a sharp edge) and even to a more innocent degree making tuna fish and Doritos chips into chicken burritos. They may be criminals but you need to give it to them, they can surprise you with their creativity. I actually tried the chicken burrito an inmate offered me to try after showing me how they make it. I was shocked that they altered the taste to actually make it taste like chicken.

Actually, if you tie the sock in the "U" loop, the lock will open and come untied.

When i was in prison we had literally no personal belongings except books (not even metal glasses, we had to be issued new plastic ones and they did not care if you were blind). The main weapon used at the time i was there (they guards would ban or reform things so its probably something else now) were generic athsma pumps that were squashed, folded and sharpened on rough concrete to a tip.
So what you're saying is, prisoners are smart enough to make lethal weapons from nothing, but too dumb to grow up and be a decent member of society so they can have somewhat of a life
There is such thing as society and the goverment itself is corrupt
The ultimate proof that no amount of regulation or ban is going to stop anybody determined to harm other people.
If you can't stop guns in a prison you can't stop them anywhere.
Or defend themselves
I think the ultimate proof is gun violence in the UK VS the US
@@Dankelheit violence never went down in the UK. They just use knives now.
@@LegendStormcrow and they don't have mass shootings every week
12:29 DUDE WE MADE THIS IS 3TH GRADE HAAHAHA
I love how the in mates are fencing with their shivs, very sophisticated.
Man, this is a really good video for my coworkers who are prison guards.
Where I come from prison guard is a slur.
@@LegendStormcrow where do you come from, prison?
@@slowandcalm3665 there are some people who think the term priskn guard is really dismissive and the correct term is correctional officer
@@nicknmm09 its like calling a war an "unsanctioned military exercise"
@@LegendStormcrow there are prison guards and corrections officer.
Love the channel, been a subber for years, keep up the awesome job. You can see the hard work put into each episode.
3:20 they took them out of female prisons first. For…other utilization in a different way.
2:34 professionals have standards
Professionals need to keep their humanity towards their enemy sometimes
One other weapon that I heard of was a plastic bag filled with water and the inmate would drop the bag with water from a high place in the prison and the force of the water filled bag hitting the ground or some unfortunate person's head was roughly equivalent to dropping 2-3 bowling balls.
I think it was water jug or plastic jery can.......yeah it was true.
yo boiling sugar is NO JOKE that may be the worst I've heard. edit: after having watched the whole thing - Cloud's Buster sword is probably the most dangerous.
There was an incident I know of that was Vaseline and honey (for adhesiveness).

I love that the shiv fight was styled like a rapier duel. Also I saw the toothbrush crossbow, that thing was really cool
I love the soundbyte of the screams starting and stopping every few seconds.
I made a working set of darts in jail, using a thick paperclip straightened, snapped to size, sharpened on concrete, slipped into a plastic tube from a q tip , which gave it a thicker grip, then used paper and tape to make the flights - they worked really well.
By worked well, do you mean they made good playing darts or were they used for… other purposes
why did you go to jAil
I know that creating content so frequently can be challenging and trying to find new inspiration and ideas can be too. I just want to thank your channel for always delivering great content on a regular basis. you're easily one of my favorite channels if not my favorite of all.
Inmates so creative, it’s insane 😂😂😂 they can make nothing into something
2:16 these guys really fencing with shivs 🤣
Even though they are criminals and these weapons are use to maim or kill.
I got to give the inventors credit these are extremely inventive and creative
the jolly rancher shiv would be one way to win a food fight
That claim surely does stick 😜
The best part is you can eat the evidence after 🙂
It's gonna be real if someone pulls out a sharpened Candy Cane.
This right here presents a simple question: if prison isn't enough to keep people from engineering deadly weapons, why should we trust the law to keep deadly weapons out of the hands of people outside of prison? If anything the crude nature of improvised weapons are more cruel than professionally manufactured ones, as improvised weapons have a high risk of getting their victim infected with something.
Can you just imagine being in a shank fight and the shock you get from your oponent eating pieces of his shiv mid-fight.
I love how having a thing of coffee mate in the prison is the equivalent to being a fucking pyromancer
What's amazing is how many people don't know creamer is flammable AF!

Prision Guard: OMFG, The Dragon Slayer
Buster sword
My dad said he saw someone get stabbed in the neck with the handle of a metal spoon. You don’t necessarily need to make a weapon you just got to be strong AF sometimes
catch them off guard from behind and aim for jug
I love how they are telling us how to make things like the flamethrower 😂
Physic class, 7th grade: aerosol powders like flour can lead to explosions when a flame is involved
I mean, all of the information is readily available, just go to your local library and read physics 101 and chemistry 101.
6:32 my dude literally got stun lock.........that weapon must have insane stun rate.
i work in a prison and ive seen shanks made of everything and anything you can ever imagine, even plastic out of the back of a small fan. they put them in there small kettle and slowly melt the plastic over time and form it into a blade, sharpen it, and then they will even mould handles. they like materials like this because it can go through the metal detector. there innovative thats for sure
You forgot one of the most common weapons inmates in prison use. The Lock and Sock. A standard issue stretched prison sock tied to a standard canteen combination lock. Can be very deadly if struck in just the right spot. (Generally the face and head area). It's basically a short rope with a 1/4 Lb. Steel ball at the end.
You mean they put heavy locks in their socks and swing around like chain mace?
@@haiqalhaiqal3789 something like that yes.
2:15 the animation of inmates crossing shivs like they're swordfighting was so unintentionally hilarious
Razor blades are not tied to toothbrushes. They are heated with a lighter then while hot embedded into the plastic toothbrush. Don't ask me how I know.
Yeah, saying razor blades were tied to toothbrushes is stupid. The razor would cut the string you were using to tie it.
Imagine getting in a prison fight and the other guy pulls out a buster sword
you grab your makeshift RPG
Then he omnislashes someone
_NANI?!_
"We do a little trolling" - inmates who literally created firearms, knives, crossbows, and flamethrowers
this ladies and gentlemen is what happens when you treat prisoners poorly
WHAT?
Prisoners make weapons almost exclusively for use on other inmates.
Prison guard upon discovering a time-out crossbow: "This belongs in a museum!"
I could see a cool video game in the style of Manhunt. An lone inmate has to sneak around a huge prison island that was been overturned, fighting off any enemy inmates with these make shift weapons. Parts for the weapons would have to be found around the island.
Praying a dev sees this
Good cat, raow
I'm probably getting on a watchlist for watching this
It’s honestly crazy how people manage to come up with these things
Thank you guys so much! I really needed some inspiration, this will help me a lot.
Hol up
"Let's take a look at the craziest prison weapons you won't believe exist"
"Let's start with the most obvious and prominent prison weapon"
Wut?
I don't know about you, but a shiv made out of Jolly Ranchers is quite irregular to me.
My dad and 2 other guys used months to make a model head to keep under their covers during count. In the meantime, they were digging through the cell vent to get to the roof. Down on the shore line after they jumped off the roof, they took out rubber homemade floats and swam to safety never to be found again. He still bees me 5 usd.
Kingston resident, the prison museum is free with a suggested donation and it's a really awesome tour.
I love the added video at the end. After all those blocked shots he finally sinks in a good shot success at last!!!
9:51 BURNING POWDER COFEE CREAMER NO JUTSU
it's honestly horrifying to see what one person can do to another
As a former CO in Ryker's island, I can approve of this video. Alot of people don't give respect to an inmate's ingenuity. I've seen them use plug outlets to start fires to smoke cigarettes, found very crude weapons made by inmates that consisted of everything from vinyl tile to cigarette butts that were burned and pressed into blades (heated fiberglass from the filters melt and harden to a sharp edge) and even to a more innocent degree making tuna fish and Doritos chips into chicken burritos. They may be criminals but you need to give it to them, they can surprise you with their creativity. I actually tried the chicken burrito an inmate offered me to try after showing me how they make it. I was shocked that they altered the taste to actually make it taste like chicken.
Was said burrito good?
