- Join veteran KUAM reporter Nick Delgado as he goes behind bars to investigate the conditions at the Guam Department of Corrections' prison facilities. It's a raw, revealing, shocking and honest look at resources that are massive need of rehabilitation themselves.
Fantastic Piece…Great Journalism. Good Job KUAM!
Where’s the real questions? Like: who determines who determines who gets to sleep on the mat vs. who sleeps on the floor? That’s where the struggles at.
Yep...conditions are just right. It suppose to be hard, its suppose to be a punishment...its not suppose to be a nice hotel or motel. Enjoy gentleman...next time dont do crime
Don’t do the crime if you’re gonna cry about the conditions in jail nai
True but you don’t know the history of that individual or what upbringing he had. Maybe all he knew was what landed him in jail. It was probably all he knew and nothing more.
If the majority are Chuukese, why has our government not engaged with the Chuukese government to be returned and imprison them in their home country or islands?
A lot of them are not just immigrants they are born and raised on the island meaning they’re U.S. even if they did deport them the governments in chuuk is just as corrupted as the one on the island. It’s either they waited out for their sentences or they’re possibly awaiting deportation.
I don't see the replies? Why hide it.
WTH is Chuukese government 😂 there is no Chuukese government
Law breaking is a daily occurrence in Guam. This suggests that consequences are non existent! And because of this situation, serious criminals get a slap in the hand and released! This is not a tenable solution!
Great vid to the public’s eyes and view and it goes to show they make do with what they have .
Don’t do the crime if you don’t like da kine!!😂
Increase in population is a result of poor Government Leadership across the board!
What is the rate of recidivism for prisoners? What has been done to increase medical services and mental health services in-house? Too many questions…not enough answers!
Been there and yes the condition looks bad hopefully the issues can be solved as soon as possible. Way to go Major Aguon and officer Cruz God blessed you 🙏
Maybe if the government would start focusing on the community, INCLUDING the jails and schools, INSTEAD of giving themselves more raises and holidays, our friends and family's wouldn't end up in jail to begin with.
The greed that has overtaken our leaders is disgusting and selfish!
Our teachers and students suffer daily as violence seems to be the new normal within the deplorable and unacceptable structures falling down around them.
How can we expect our children to grow into righteous and acceptable members of the society when their leaders are corrupt and negligent?
Where is ALL the funding? I'm a single mother of a 4 year old autistic boy, who is facing eviction and cannot find ANY help at this time from our local agencies that were created specifically for people in need! Where have ALL the grants gone that were provided to assist our community!?! It seems our homeless population is GROWING along with the pockets of our leaders!
And these are the same people telling us we "don't have the money" to do anything about these conditions!
BULLSHIT!
If you go to Tumon, its like a whole new world! EVERYTHING seems to be maintained regularly and in pristine condition. The roads are the best on island. The landscape is kept up with precision. Even the damn sidewalks are PAINTED!
And for what, or should I say WHO!?! For the tourists!?! How about we take those tourists on a field trip around Guam, the REAL Guam! Let's bring them to our schools. To our jails. Let them truly SEE Guam as we do!
We need to spend less time and money trying to put on a front for our "guests", and clean up our home for our own community and the future of our families.
If we don't do something soon, Guam is going to continue to crumble around us as the spotlight on tourism distracts the attention from our community and the increasingly bulging pockets of our "leaders".
I can't even find a playground to walk to with my son! Not one! And we expect our children to grow up to be successful individuals who contribute positive morals and ethics to our society?
How is that possible when their world is literally falling down around them? The people they look up to are literally stealing their future and any hope thereof every time they choose to brush off ignore, and "cobjob" the facilities used to TEACH us how to be a contributing member of society! And they do it with a smile and a "sorry". They aren't sorry, they are STEALING our future and the funds provided to create one!
It's time we reevaluate our priorities Guam, before it's too late! Our family's and lifelines are our responsibility! There is no reason ANYBODY should be subject to these cruel and inhumane conditions, I don't care WHAT they have done!
And when our schools look just as bad a the prisons out here, we have a SERIOUS problem!!!
Take that money back out of your pocketbook, and put it BACK into our society, our community! Or in the not so distant future, we are going to need to build more prisons, as our youth grow up learning the negative and corrupt ways of their leaders, rather than righteous paths from a loving, caring, community who PUTS THEIR PEOPLE, BEFORE their pocketbooks!
Our kids need us.
Our criminals need us, they are our families and friends.
Let's be the ones to BREAK this generational CURSE that has been slowing ripping our families apart!
Be the change you wish to see! It starts with YOU!
God bless Guam and everyone here! Amen
@cornyconnie GovGuam isn’t the reason you’re getting evicted. Why don’t you try getting a job? Lol you milk the government so you don’t need to work or be a contributing member of society and the moment you’re required to actually do something with yourself because the government won’t come to your rescue again you start crying that it’s GovGuam employees getting a raise that caused you to get evicted or be on the verge of eviction. That has to be funniest thing I’ve read all week! Why don’t you try to make something of yourself? Your current job of being a full time free loader doesn’t seem to be working out anymore, connie. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
People like you are irritating so I just have to laugh.
@@Heelhook_96 How did you come to that conclusion my friend? 🤔 Have you ever considered SOME people have detrimental circumstances that may hinder them from being able to work at the moment? You CLEARLY have never had any medical emergencies that have temporarily debilitated you to where you COULDN'T work AS YOU USUAL DO!
I obtained my working papers when I was 14 (the earliest age possible in NY). I started working ON THE BOOKS, and PAYING MY TAXES like every other "contributing member of society". And from that point on, I NEVER went without a job! And if you care to do your research, you will see that not only have I worked 24 out of my 40 yes alive, but MANY years I was working MULTIPLE jobs, ON THE BOOKS, PAYING TAXES.
I'm currently out of work because I physically CAN'T work right now! And not that it's your business, but since you have decided to not only judge me based on your opinions, but you have sent so far as to watch many of my videos and write RUDE and hateful comments on ALL of them, I'm going to let you in on a little secret of mine...
Nevermind the fact that I was ran over by a car out here in Tumon, Guam on Dec 7, 2011, TWICE (look it up, PNC news) which broke my pelvis in half, front AND back, and RUPTURED MY SPLEEN, I CONTINUED working, ON THE BOOKS, as SOON as I was able to walk again and no longer needed a wheelchair to get around.
Nevermind the fact that I was a passenger in a seperate car accident in NY on November 7, 2015 on Cobb st in Groton and SHATTERED my L4 vertebrae in my back, broke my 4th rib on the left, and had SEVERE whiplash, I CONTINUED to work, ON THE BOOKS, as soon as I didn't need a walker to assist me in getting around.
Nevermind the fact that my ex used to physically abuse me, and threw a wad of keys at me while I was pregnant, and I tripped as I tried to run away from him which caused me to go into labor early the very next day on August 14, 2019, and my son came out halfway, feet first, and they had to cut me open one hip to the other and pull him back thru and out of my stomach before we both died. I had 15 staples with that. And I was BACK TO WORK within 2 months, ON THE BOOKS, PAYING TAXES.
Nevermind the fact that I had covid pneumonia,,Delta version, in Sept of 2021 and spent almost 9 days in the telemetry ward at GMH on oxygen in the verge of death, and I CONTINUED to pay MY bills with MY unemployment PAYCHECKS.
Nevermind the fact that I have a RARE genetic condition called 'Incontinentia Pigmenti' that has caused me to LOSE 9 BABIES from miscarriages throughout the years and I STILL, continued to work, ON THE BOOKS, PAYING TAXES.
And here we are! And WHAT might you say, could possibly be the reason I CAN'T work?
I have notable amounts of blood, protein, RBC, epithelial squamous cells, and bacteria in my urine. Fresh blood in my stools. Swollen lymph nodes. High cholesterol. High LDL-Cholesterol, calc. And high Non-HDL cholesterol, calc.
I have low glucose levels. Low creatinine. Low eGFR CKD-EPI Cr 2021 levels. High hemoglobin, high hematocrit, + high Red blood cell count. And
I have low RDW.
I apparently have fluid in my anterior uterine segment, and fluid in my endometrial cavity.
I have two low T2 signal fibroids in my fundus and mildly prominent parauterine vessels due to mild pelvic congestion.
My pulse has been unstable and jumping as high as 220 BPM resting heart rate! And last month they found 2 seperate 0.5cm asymmetries in my right breast that are of concern.
All the while I'm taking care of my 4year old autistic son by myself, and hauling him in the stroller wherever we need to to, which is an added 42lbs to the already 15+lb stroller that I'm pushing in the 85°F weather, to get to my appointments and back!
You can check and verify that EVERYTHING I am saying is 100% TRUE!
It sounds to me that you have been submissive and gave in to the enemy. That stronghold was TOO strong for you, and you are literally just desperately searching for ANYONE to talk shit to or about to lower their vibration rather than put in any EFFORT to raise yours!
God bless you my friend. May you be free from the bonds of slavery.
above his paygrade he says, but he looks likes he's been sitting and getting paid....
The drone shots in almost every video I see from this channel are so frustrating to watch. I am almost willing to do it for free
GREAT JOB Major Aguon, you came a long way from before. Thank you for your courage to do this for we all know you have hid this for so long. l bless you and may you continue to show the public what REALLY happens behind those walls!
How many of our overpaid senators have watched this? Has any governor been aware of this? Even if these people committed a crime, there should be better conditions than what exists now. I agree criminals should be punished, but that is no excuse for inhumane treatment.
Jail is Hell.
BRAVO
The problem with Guams cash flow is that they are not taxing these big businesses the way they do in the states. Revenue is not being circulated throughout the island. Therefore this leads to budget shortages to provide for schools, prisons, and road constructions. Upper chain of commands are getting paid an exponential amount of money but yet can't supply the backbone of workers who work for the community.
The old guy keeps getting arrested and hasn’t learned his lesson. Drugs and alcohol dependency is a large part of their life. They can’t get off the drugs.
I'll tell you right now one of the problems is Major Anton Aguon not knowing a damn thing about the facility he's running (Hagatna precinct). Every question asked he has to look over to ask one of the guards.
Don't eat the kangkung 😂
Jeez 5 a cell? I thought O Trips was bad but damn…
Prisons are a huge money maker stateside. There's no real money in servicing such a small prison population, which may explain lack of funding? In Hawaii plenty of prisoners get sent off to other states due to lack of facilities. Money goes to those states, Hawaii loses jobs, and prisoners lose access to visits from family. Rehabilitation??
Where the chuukese at
This is a great story that needs to be told. We need to break away from the concept of warehousing inmates and start leaning towards actual rehabilitation
Back wen i served my time it Felt like im on vication everything was Good..but damn i feel sorry for the Newbies...
This ain't shit compared to PI's overcrowded prisons and jails.
Wow this the Dome
Sorry but maybe it's your judge and judetional system Are too slow in process to make decision to get them inmates out in a FAST way to make more ROOMS God bless 🙏🙏🙏.
Hu guiya hao mike Flores 💪🏽💯
Chowtime gentleman 😂
Free my dawgs in alpha block 💪🏾💯💯💯
But every morning after you wake up you are given a choice....
1. Follow the law and dont go to jail
2. Break the law and go to jail
You do the crime, you do the time. Welcome to Hotel Hagatna!
Build one at cocos island and stop complaining you did this to your self stop crying
U guys are lucky ur not in brazil or pi 😂😂
Yes, we are not Brazil or PI, and we should not be proud that our inhumanity is better.
Thanks
2 0 1 2⁉️ OR 2 0 2 3⁉️ when was this really did it take 11/12 years to air this transparency still lacking at KUAM no different as lying
Yeah.. it says is recent..but it doesn't seem like it
seeing some familiar faces in there lol
The Boss eat up all the money so nothing is fixed.😊
hey at least Guam prison it's not like some country prison, very dirty very grounded.
The worst Administration in Guam's long history!!!
Agree 100%.
Crime, Drugs, Trash, Corruption. Island is in shambles. Really hope people realize how bad Lou and Josh are, as they have destroyed our island.
For real
What do you mean? All of them were terrible. All 54 years or more.
@@on2wheels378 The current administration forgot how to work and is the worst.
DONT GO TO JAIL STOP CRYING LMAO
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.😅😅
Really, get your head out of your ass. Yes, don’t go to jail. I feel sorry for the day you have to go for 8 months just to prove yourself innocent. It could easily happen to anyone.
@@edwardlizama4150 dont do dumb shit its easy
@@edwardlizama4150 Such a circumstance is a lot less common than you make it out to be.
@@edwardlizama4150false!
Welcome to the USA.
We need to rebuilt the prison away from the community i mean it makes sense if u ask me my best bet is the Cliffside of the island do to safety of the community
palauan Pride
No one is re ally concerned...just a job to do to get paid...esp the uploading see we see
I saw AK 😂
HORRENDOUS
It’s a jail, not a vacation.
@@Guam815 who says it’s a vacation?
@@GCA-Transparency They’re eating take out, drinking soda pop, and relaxing with the AC in in this video. Correction officers are also the biggest drug dealers in Guam. That’s why they always get in trouble for cell phones, massages to the officers, and a lot of drugs. Guam vacation 😂 on the tax payer dime.
Been there done that ,,,free all them inmates😅
We need to send Trump over there lol
Micronesia Runs Guam Doc Real Talk im proud to be a micronesia...RiverSide*47*

Hello🦩🦩🦩🦋🐧🐧🐧🐕🐶, 🐦
God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy and Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Jesus sincerely to be God's childJohn 1:12. "But as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on HIS name." That is great news! Will you sincerely receive Holy, Lord Jesus into your life today?
🙏
DON'T BREAK THE LAWS, and Stop Crying 😮. You are NOT on vacation guy's. Take RESPONSABILITY OF YOUR ACTIONS. 😢
That's not the point you pilock.
@@bobbyboy1797 for reals. they just want to use the restroom and shower
Please don't put this on youtube,please stop it
Warden
This interview means Guam needs a bigger prison for more prisoners than their inmates Health and conditions they live in.
Help! Goddamnit!!!!
I lived in Dededo for 2 year's. There was lot of GANGS on GUAM. What GANGS are there? 🫵😊
Your boots tell us the real reason you went to see locked up men 😂😂
