I worked for Ga. Dept. of Corrections for 15 years and they are extremely short handed. It's supposed to be at least four officers in a lockdown unit. They would make you work a unit all by yourself before I left. That's the real problem. I sorry for the families but don't be so quick to judge if you've never worked a unit with inmates on 15 minute watch. Impossible if you're alone. Dude could have moved faster when he saw the guy hanging though.
I’m from SC an our prisons or way worse y’all got it made there.
@@merkcityboy834 Have you been to Georgia prison???
All prison are short staffed because the entire pay package doesn't compensate for the sacrifices the officer and staff makes. Don't be so quick to judge the staff walking in because he may have just returned from one critical task or had to haul @$$ via various sallyports it not supposed to be but I have worked shifts where I covered 2 units and on those days, my supervisor sometimes suspend rec and all activities just to partially cover post and often times have to give up his duties and be officer, that work he couldn't do may not get touched till next week or later. People gets incarcerated for various reasons however I believe we as a people need to raise our kids to thinks they're above being incarcerated, no to be a wimp but be smart and if there's no case of mental illness, stop tearing lives and communities apart with all the criminal acts cause prison despite the reforms, it isn't a Christlike environment. 🤷🏿♂️WHY AN INMATE WITH MENTAL ISSUES IN A ISOLATION CELL HAVE BED SHEET? HE SHOULD BE IN A SAFETY SMOCK THAT IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO RIP/TEAR OR DISMANTLE INTO CONTRABAND.
Thank you for them 15 years
"Dude could have moved faster..." He should be prosecuted. He did not give a damn about that young man!
As a mother, A human being, Aunt, Cousin, Daughter, Wife, Friend.....THIS makes me sick. There is NO EXCUSE AVAILABLE for this kiddo being Dead! WHY was he NOT checked on every 15 min as he should have been? WHY did the guard mosey along to get help as if this young man was only sleeping? WHYYYYY did it take 7 min to get into his cell? COME ON!! My heart goes out to his family and to all families who've lost loved ones in prison. This kiddo was Bipolar and NEEDED Attention so WHYYYYY. God forgive these ppl who did NOTHING they were supposed to do and certainly not in a timely manner.
thanks for that, he was my baby brother
@@SimplySade96 I'm sorry for your loss. 🙏
He wasn’t a kid. He was a man who made a lot of bad decisions. Stop babying them. I guess we don’t talk about all the crimes he committed and why he was there.
@@jerrymylove1754 Exactly. People kill me with that kiddo crap.
@@jerrymylove1754he had a mental issue and maybe a bkgrd but he ain’t deserve to be killed ….df wrong wit yall ppl until its yall behind getting beat on and no bail for traffic violations stfu
Anyone watching this that may be committing crimes & has not ever been to Prison should take heed to this video. It's Real
That officer should, *AT THE VERY LEAST* be charged with negligent manslaughter. 3-5 yrs for letting a man die on his watch. This is evil...
Clearly you have never worked at a prison or jail. That’s a impossible task to check on one offender every 15 mins
@@moniquerichards4333 Why don't they change the policy then?
If they physically can't meet the demand of every 15 minutes they shouldn't pretend they abiding by the requirements by pointing to their policies.
@@josephkerrigan733 Facts 💯
@@moniquerichards4333 i can do you one better, i was a petty criminal before i became an engineer and ive done time. There's typically a special unit in the jail for high suicide risk inmates, and everyone from mentally ill, child molesters, rapists, known informants, and people withdrawing hard enough from drugs. And they had no problem checking on everyone every 15 min. You seem to think being a jail guard is more than walking around and counting. Its not. Inmates do all the working.
@@josephkerrigan733 I agree
Lawyer up and please do not settle out of court, get it before a jury and demand change
That's ashame for that mother I feel for her. ☹
Bitch watch what you said
Oh, so these prisoner's rights are violated just because of the pandemic? I cannot shirk my responsibility at my job during this pandemic. Please quit using the pandemic as an excuse to not do your jobs properly!
When u locked up...u not in control of YOU...the prison is...so stay OUT
Easier said
Its very easy to not go to jail stop being a criminal pos you loser @tiarahill4892
I worked for the GDC for 26 years and retired. At Ware State Prison as of wednesday 4/21/24.......there were 4 officers at the prison on day shift with over 1500 inmates. Aint no officers beating inmates, handcuffing inmates or anything else. Nobody will take the job and the inmates are in complete control. So if you go to prison in Ga......be prepared.....you are at the whim of the INMATE population......not the Correctional Staff. Good luck out there.
I'm so sry 4 u they don't give af about nobody in there they treated us all like shit I did 6 years in ga prison they think ppl with mental health is a joke
Jesus! and my baby was locked away at 16 in 94, (his first offense) They have passed him for 2 paroles, yet it is a fact that with age criminals are less violent. Omg.
I feel her pain my son was killed at the Jenkins Correctional Facility in Millen, Ga
September 29th 2021
Then they lied and said he hung himself.😭😭😭
My deepest condolences to you God bless you 🙏🏽
Damn that’s what could of happened here. I guess the moral of the story is don’t be a criminal and find yourself in these institutions. You never know what’s gonna happen when you get in there.
once you in there, them officers do not, i repeat , do not give af about you.. them correctional officers are more evil than the prisoners there.
Facts!!!! I’ve heard TOO MANY stories of them handcuffing inmates & beaten them. That’s all anyone should need to know to know how evil they are. & it’s NEVER the worst ones they do this to. It’s not the child predators. It’s the petty drug dealers & bs charges like that...
I agree with you my old man is in coastal State prison
@@kay-collinsThese CO's should be lucky their personal information is sequestered. I'm certain many family members have plotted how to get them and their families cuz of their sick twisted treatments of inmates.
Why was he in jail?
My brother violated his probation but what is it to you.
Mind yo damn business
Thats my lil brother. The hardest part was to hear the warden tell his mother that my lil brother / her son was dead
@Marquez Smith- REAL TALK BRO?? IF SO,MY CONDOLENCES🙏 STAY PRAY'D UP
I know you lying cause the wardens don't do that..the prison chaplain ALWAYS make them calls...
She need’s to sue the Georgia Department of Corrections and that prison for his death.
That still doesn’t make it right! He was supposed to been checked on every 15 mins took them cruel selfish lazy bastards 2 hours to check on him
Try working at a prison for a week and you will have a different opinion.
@@moniquerichards4333 stfu wtf
@@s5_atoms how about you stfu inmate
They just wanted him out of the way. These officials are ungodly!
nothing is going to happen until people start caring about rehabilitation over punishment
It's run by Corecivic that's the problem...
Omg I'm so sorry to that mother!!!!
He looked like trouble.
But, I think someone knows how to make a murder look like a suicide.
He look like trouble???really? Don't all Black men look like trouble??? Even the uncle Tom's...
Why being in prison in the first place.
Rest In Peace to all the men that lost they life God bless they family and friends 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Bless you, your son and your family 🙏❤️ This is so tragic. If the officers aren't able to do checks every 15 minutes then why have that as policy?! Also that guard needs to lose his job. He dragging but the medics then running him on the stretcher!!!! He ain't cut for the job. Rest In Peace to your son and all the other inmates who die in the system 🕊️🙏❤️
thank you so much that was my baby brother
@@SimplySade96 my brother was also killed last month so devastating my heart is with your family 🙏🏼
@@SimplySade96 so sorry
Staff on vacation?? They are doing NOTHING!!!!!
He was probably diagnosed as bipolar schizophrenia. I just found out after my brother blew his head off that he was diagnosed as that and most bipolar schizos are more a harm to themselves than anyone else. R.I.P. He was so handsome too. Cute kids.
WHY WAS HE IN PRISON ❤🙏🙏🙏
That’s so sad
The hell do you expect ? It’s nowhere to be. Jail is ehhh but prison..hell no
Believe your loved one when they tell you what is happening to them. They are treated like animals and they let others abuse them and steal from them with no recourse. The majority of people who work there have a level of evil in them that is beyond belief. Take action from the top and do not take no for an answer. God bless all the families who lost a love one.
This shit's sad&preventable..F 12!! Don't know dude,don't know what he did,but I do know that there's lot's of good people locked up that just made bad decisions sumtimes just 1 bad decision! Klown said it "welcome 2 GA"😕 Another reason why we call it tha Dirty South! 706GA KEEP HUSTLING
They do not give a damn about an inmate and this is coming from a former inmate..
Y’all should tell the stories of the Georgia inmates that are beaten to death and stabbed to death by other inmates while the guards help set it up. That will touch more peoples hearts than this story. Sorry but someone killing themselves is the not exactly the problem of the prison.
It absolutely is the problem of the prison. Incarcerated individuals should not be left alone or able to self-harm or commit suicide. Furthermore, inhumane conditions and abuse inside prison contribute the suicide rates in prison.
@@Nayahpooh012 it's not their fault
when you enter they ask you if you're suicidal
if you lie and say no and hang yourself how is that their fault
they gave him an option and he refused it
It's crazy this guy was literally in prison robbing and oppressing people due to having a bunch of bloods behind him...And went out like a coward ..
Understaffing is a major cause, and that's because our government is all a shell game where the buckets of money are concerned. Money comes between the best of friends, so how do you think OFFICIALS act around large amounts?? It's a festival. A free for all. A racket. Money doesn't end up where it's supposed to.
I am quick to judge. This is horrible.
There is at least 1 everyday that trys it. It's impossible to stop someone that wants to die.
How many of the people complaining are applying for these jobs to help make it better? Just asking
Well, now I know more about deaths inside Georgia prisons.
Don’t do the crime if you cannot handle the time
Lame
😂😂
Its not a prison!!! Its a jail!!! These ppl are innocent until proven guilty!!!
That crazy. Just to see what happened how the God take his time walking to call for help with no sense of urgency at all the feds need to come in and investigate file a lawsuit
Its messed up there was no sense of urgency, but let's call it what it is. The guard didn't kill the person - yes it should've been treated more seriously, but if a person wants to die - let em
Cobb County jail lost 35 under suspicious circumstances.
This Look Like The Same Jail , Where The Nurses Let The Inmate Ulcerations Go Untreated Even After He Begged For Help And Was Found Dead In The Cell. Why He Didn’t Have A Walkie He Had No Sense Of Urgency. REST IN PEACE
The prison don't have enough Staff to keep a watch on one person every 15 minutes they always under staff sad to say.
I agree.
Exactly
Ok well when he saw him hanging why didn’t he open the cell right away or run for help they didn’t give a shit about him just another dead thug
@@donn372 first of all your not going to just open a cell by yourself, it could be a setup. And as far for running for help, he could of call for help on the radio. That’s the news they’re talking to the family, they’re going to make the prison staff look bad . But then again I don’t know why, all I’m saying is it’s impossible for one person to check on one inmate when he’s probably responsible for over a hundred inmates to check on him every 15 minutes. And why not ask the family why they don’t get him some help, looks like they dropped the ball FIRST.
@@moniquerichards4333 well first of all if he had issues with mental health he was obviously not fit to be in there and second of all don’t talk to me like I’m freaking stupid just because he was an inmate doesn’t mean he was hurting inside like a normal person going through a mental health Crisis you might not give a shit but I do
Very sad 😢
He killed him self better to go out on your own terms than go out by the hands of another against your will
RIP 🙏 ... Sorry to hear of your son's PREVENTABLE tragedy.
They could’ve done better. Assigning him to be watched more closely. They’re prison is really for the life and well-being of those in their custody’s.
You on the front line do something about this
I have someone in the prison system in Georgia
No his death could not have been prevented. Worked in a level 5 security mental health camp and have seen inmates commit suicide and had successful sucides happen before and i can tell you if an individual either and inmate or anybody for that matter is gonna commit suicide they are gonna do it and you won't even know until it's done. Yes there's signs to possibly prevent it and i used to ask inmates that said they wanted to kill themselves I would ask them how they were gonna do it and usually the ones who were serious would respond I don't know !! Those are the serious ones but us officers we aren't councilor's or psychiatrists so
A coworkers husband got killed oh unalived himself at one of these prison
I think the only time we can shrug our shoulder and say, "Well, what can we do, those are the consequences", is when the deceased prisoner committed heinous crime such as MURDER, RAPE, CHILD PORNOGRAPHY, HUMAN SEX TRAFFICKING! however, if they're just incarcerated for misdemeanor and petty stuff then I feel bad for them. It's possible to not go to jail during your life time here on earth!
You deliberately short-staff jails and prisons so that abuses will occur. It's THAT easy. The fact that no one is effective in demanding more staff is testament to the fact that the majority of the public isn't interested. Nothing is changing. Did you know that women have to pay for their own pads and tampons in prisons? That's deliberate, too. Nothing is being fixed because as long as you keep them angry, they'll be back and prisons will get their money.
It's all structured to maintain employment in public prisons and meet shareholder profits for privatized prisons.
The last thing they want is rehabilitation- that doesn't make anyone money.
Keep them abused, keep them angry, keep them wanting to hurt others- and you have constant revenue.
We all know that prisons could be run better - but not many realize why they won't.
You can't do the time, don't do the crime. The less thugs and criminals off the planet is good thing.

I hate when people who have never work at a prison have all these opinions. First of all it’s impossible to check on one offender every 15mins, it’s just not going to happen. There’s other things going on like count time, mail call, cell shakedown and etc. To all the people saying it’s the officers fault, try working at a prison for a week and I’ll bet you have a different opinion. I’m not blaming no one for this mans passing.
Blame the person only.
First off it was mandate for him and anyone with bipolar or any other mental health problems people have, its mandate in that particular prison to check on those types of people every 15 min to 30 mins, blame yourself for being a judgemental prick that doesnt have a fuxking clue about anything. You're an idiot and anyone else who agrees with you. We will all meet death one day. You may end up getting killed, shot or stabbed or anyone, you will never know cause death is silence the fuxk. Nothing good to say then don't say it all.
@@SimplySade96 period
@@SimplySade96 Look transgender woman, I said what I said. Clearly you have never worked at a prison and it’s doesn’t matter if it was mandatory for this prison. I said nothing about this man dying just that it’s impossible to do 15 minute checks on one person, when you’re responsible for over a hundred offenders. Let me break it down to you on your level: if you’re at work at McDonald’s and your the only employee there and you have 25 customers and they all want to order food and drinks but it’s just you and all of this has to be done in15 minutes. It’s impossible to get all these people feed and out in 15 minutes by yourself. That’s all . You can go.

You can add about 100 more to that.

and y’all didn’t do any better this year i’ve heard abt atleast 8 people dying this year in prisons around georgia i know they’ve done bad things but they’re all still people most mothers or fathers
I was there in 2020 . I also tried to hang myself I wheeler correctional facility christmas day 2020. I wish my story could be told
If you dont mind me asking
What happened to you?
Why are we talking about these guys like they were stunning examples of human beings? Her son was in prison and she’s acting like he was supposed to be watched like a baby.

Unit 400 at That dam private prison Mr. John Connders is definitely responsible for some deaths
They only get paid like $15 hour. They not trying to do nothing extra.

Oh you real Atlanta

Thou Shall Not Kill!!
I m so sorry tus happened to this midterm and thanks again cops....
I beento ga prison 6 yrs whaaaaaat😢
They just not built for the life they choose
Now it's someone else's fault. Smdh!!
They knocking those dudes off fasho!
Well, there goes my uncle..
He's in a better place now. (yes, that is my uncle.)
It's not Suicide
they getting murdered
by other inmates
Idk know how they get close to the targets
But when they do
They break their necks
And group of killers already have
Make shift rope
out of clothes
or from their bed mattress Material
Anyhow
They break the victims necks 1st
They hang them
And after they hang them
Some one gets behind the body
And slices the wrist real deep with a razor
Right to left
And
Left to right
To make it look self Inflicted
It hard for family's to get answers because the jail covers it up
Because they don't want to face a lawsuit
And some of the guards even work with the killers
They get money from the bad guys family's
Basically some of the guards are paid off
I agree
Atlanta prisons have a lot of murders getting away with killing!
But after seeing this video
they had that young man on Suicide watched
He killed himself unfortunately
They had a good working camera facing his jail cell
But for majority of the victims they really getting killed out there in Atlanta incarcerated
🙏🙏🙏
😢
Dang
Well that’s my dad love you daddy and happy birthday
R.i.p bobby was one of my fb friends my sister is suing clay co she had her bad there they denied her care telling her she was lying basically all the way until her baby came out in her underwear....these ppl do not care !!!
They should lock the warden up
U really can't expect these corrections officers to baby sit these inmates. I'm sorry he died. Very unfortunate. U can't blame the officers because he hung himself
Oh well. Stop going to jail and you do not have to worry about it. Losers.
WOW THATS CRAZzzyy
"suicide".... more like, serial killers 🧐
People always say their against abortions, but you can't use the prisons to take care of your mentally ill . The system has to change the laws. Basically you want the staff to visit your son every 10 or 15mins when you couldn't do the same thing when your own son was out in the real world. Help it make sense. How is it fair to ask the guards at the jail to do that when they have a whole jail to run. No
That's apart of their job duties
FIRST OF ALL, IT WAS MY FUXKING BROTHER!! SECOND OF ALL, he was in ISOLATION ROOM FOR CALMING DOWN FOR A WHILE! YES HE NEEDED ATTENTION BECAUSE HE HAS BIPOLAR DISORDER!! THEY HAVE TO CHECK ON HIM EVERY 15 MINS TO MAKE SURE HE OK !! SO YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING!! WHAT IF IT WAS YO SON???? OH OF COURSE U WOULD BE HAVING SOME GRIVE MOMENTS L LIKE MY FAMILY AND ME!! FUXK OFF!!
@@s5_atoms When I said prison is not a baby sitter, what I met is some people shouldn't belong in the jail. Jail has a structure and most bi polar people keep sane with structure in their life. A set schedule, meaning things for them to do and take their meds on time.. If they can have maybe a living facility not a jail because they need to be able to function outside jail. Too many people locked up when they shouldn't be do to mental illness. Too many people have mental illness due to unnecessary drugs prescribed by their doctor.
@@lindajones4080 I agree! And a lot if inmates are just drug addicts who need help, not incarceration.
America locks up more of its citizens than any other country on the planet...and it's all by design.

Thankfully they will never get out!
Yes, if she raised her son properly this could have all been prevented.
Maybe he should have stayed out of jail.
And you should watch your mouth, how dare you comment some shit like that, regardless of what my brother did, he was not destined to be in there forever, when you get in trouble that's the consequences and he was very aware of that and wanted to do his time, who the fuck are you to judge, i can almost guarantee you're not no fucking saint. Everyone has done some dirt whether people no about it or not. We all are sinners so what the fuck are you talking about.
First off, you don’t know nothing about this shxt! How about you giving some damn respect for all of us who lost our loved ones what if it was one of yo family members? Of course, people would judge them..you would say the same thing!!!
