@Andy D.....Rikers is a jail and most jails hold those awaiting trial and/or sentencing, like most cities. No matter the crime, you will end up there until your case is settled, one way or the other.....SO.....to say sending someone there for a non violent crime means nothing to law enforcement officials since they have no choice... If l shoot someone and are arrested, and you get caught burglarizing a home the same day, we will both end up at Rikers... You the burglar, feel you shouldn't be housed with a shooter, fine....don't do the CRIME. Jeffrey Dahmer was in jail with druggies, burglars, DWI'S, car thieves and others...same goes for Ted Bundy and Charles Manson. Inmates don't sweat what crime you're in for...they only sweat their crime. You know the saying, "don't do the crime, if you can't do the time."
Let’s not forget they sent 2pac here and he survived. On a crime he didn’t even commit. Came out sold 6 million albums then got assassinated by the powers that be.
I was in a facility for 8 years. I have great respect for many guards who treated me like a human being. This treatment helped me change my perspective on life. Solitary confinement makes people go crazy in time.
but can something be hidden in the book, yep. have you ever scratched your eye with end of book by accident it hurts like hell. you never know, they gave to be on guard at all times
@@shhh1239 I mean some of them killed people, some of them rob banks. They had to think before they act. What do you expect this is a prison, not a castle. But its kinda sad for people who are treated like that and didn't do a violent crime.

@Solid Snake if you support tyrannical cops you support criminals. Cops are thugs and criminals. The entire concept of police is anti American and goes against the constitution
@John T you’re very fucking stupid. His family got 3.3 million because the police WRONGLY arrested him dumbass. I guess the government is paying the guilty for locking them up. Fucking idiot
If he is a murderer or a rapist or abuser then he deserves it other than that... nope as long as you don't hurt others I believe you could be corrected
@jessicagard8636 it's a year later but I frickin agree so much. It's aggravating, frustrating and despicable that murderers like Nick and the most heinous offenders don't face what they should and yet the people here go through all of this. Shameful, wrong, imbalanced.
Everyone is dangerous and capable of doing terrible things. He’s saying that based off of how he is then and not how he was in the exact moment where he took a life.
Too bad he didn't kill himself. Save taxpayers alot of money and possibly another life after he eventually gets out in 25 years he will either kill or atleast hurt someone.
Misfortune Follows so people selling crack, meth, herion, fentanyl to people is not a violent crime and shouldn't be locked up or is if you are caught speeding with a revoked license (for the 4th time.) should not be locked up? I don't quite understand the non violent criminals cases? A crime is a crime and yes you deserve all the time you served for breaking the laws.

The current prison system just feeds people's anger.. It doesn't rehabilitate them at all. America as a whole is fucked up beyond repair. Not until the current old people ruling our government get replaced.
I went to prison, and now I function in society better than ever because of it. It CAN rehabilitate, if an open mind is kept. If you want to always have a victim mentality and a negative attitude, then no, it probably won't do anything to.improve you.
Sasquatch Models that’s great! but many people will not get hired after being incarcerated. many people may not have the correct social or financial supports to steer them out of bad doings, which usually leads them back into jail. plus ssssooooo many more things. just because you didn’t experience that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. and if there’s more than one person saying it, it’s not the person, it’s the system. i’ve never been to jail but it seems like he was totally complacent with being in jail. which would be a “positive attitude.”
Trishana rowz You choose to be institutionalized so many people can turn there lives around they just have to have that want to do better. I should know I did my time and never allowed myself to become that way. the more aggressive the inmate the more likely they are to return to prison upon release.
JoefromNJ1 alot of the time the guards bring it on themselves by treating even the most respectful inmates like shit. so when you have guards that run there mouths and treat people like sub humans what else do they expect to get in return? I'm not making excuses for these inmates but they are not solely the ones to blame for there actions the DOC has to take some fault
It’s not as bad as it seems. I used to put a note on my window for the co saying “no meds, no breakfast, take me out of rotation” so my cell wouldn’t open up in the morning when everyone else’s did. Lol. I didn’t even wanna be around the bullshit after awhile
Thats why you shouldnt do crimes. Prison isnt nice. In the old days they never threw piss and feces at officers because a bunch of officers would give them a hiding they will never forget. Today we're too soft and make too many excuses.
Stole computers : sent to a beastly correctional facility with solitary confinement for years Kilked 17 men at school shooting: this matter needs "reconsideration"
If you treat people like animals that’s how they’ll act. Edit: Just for clarification-my original statement was a comment on the *system* itself, not a comment on how a person behaves, or what they did to get there. For some reason ppl keep saying things like “well they are animals.” Ok. That still has nothing to do w/my point. You may be an animal, you may be a saint, w/out an overhaul & renaissance of the system, there’s no chance for change. I was criticizing the system itself. It is disappointing (& a little scary) how many people can’t seem to understand that. At the same time, it is *very* encouraging to realize there are 1.4K+ like-minded individuals that agree. You people are the ones who will change this world for the better. God bless.
@@User-tn7dh If you want to look at life in terms of black & white, you’ll find yourself asking rhetorical questions that don’t address the problem of reform & rehabilitation-which is the pervasive undercurrent & the elephant in the room. I didn’t say they weren’t where they’re supposed to be. My comment was analogous to the bigger problem. Have they committed crimes? Obviously. Will they continue to offend? Yes. And the reason is because they’re treated like animals in a hopeless cycle of the prison industrial complex that lacks any type of positive reform. The act of committing a crime isn’t mutually exclusive to the act of punishment. Or I can just passively aggressively answer a question with a question like yourself and ask: Yes, they’re guilty of crimes-& in terms of my analogy, that matters how? Have a good day mama
I was abused (sexually, physically, and emotionally) as a child. Depending on the abuse type, the abusers were friends of fam, strangers, family members, cops. I should have been a statistic but I kept pushing forward. But not everyone made it through. I put my time into my own children and continue to give talks to young people about life, schooling, homeschooling, technology, martial arts, chess, etc. Governments, religious leaders and the super-rich don't care!
I'm not saying most inmates are innocent but there are quite a bit of innocent people who end up in jail. They took my sweet kindergarten teacher sister in law to jail because they had a glick in the system that said she didn't pay a ticket that she PAID! The truth is a lot of these gaurds treat the prisoners terribly.
She went to jail but a lot of innocent people end up in prison too. Especially people who can't afford a good lawyer. This comment specifically says jail. On the flip side there are also people who should have been convicted but get off.
I'm introverted, but I couldn't imagine solitary. It's inhumane Update after reading the comments, I must say I would rather have the "unruly" Be put on an island an let them allow them a free for all. Lass money to support them and we would safer than before.
@@venomdisease7117 Right, so what about the psychopaths ? That's what solitary was created for because the inmate was a danger to not only the staff but other inmates as well. As widespread as this, yeah, it's not good but for the select few: Let them have it.
Yeah but it can be an effective tool for preventing violence in the first place. I don’t think it should be as common as it is, but for the people who act like animals, give them the animalistic punishment. Lock em up in a cage alone. I don’t think any animals should be treated that way just to let anyone know but people that act like wild animals should be
symano85 s I need y’all to comprehend better she’s saying there are people in those same situations. Like wrongfully convicted. Not the actually person is still in there🤦🏾♀️
Some will clearly have behavioural issues that they probably dont know about, like adhd, or bipolar / multiple personality disorder. Some perhaps drug users on the outside and havent had a fix on the inside and some probably waiting on a fix. So many reasons. Nothing about it is funny, but nor were some of their crimes.
Honestly I think it's great what he's trying to do with solitary confinement. I also understand the issues people have with it. It's a very fine line both ways. But it does make sense to try to give people hope and rehabilitation. I know what isolation does to my mental health so I can't imagine if I was someone that struggled with aggression and anger by using violence and having someone lock me up in solitary confinement with those type of thoughts and not having any kind of Hope or help. You're literally creating a more dangerous monster than they were prior. We all make our choices but when you treat someone like an animal that's what you're going to get. I'm sure I'm going to get a lot of negative feedback on what I'm saying but I'm just trying to see this from my own experiences. I've had run into with the law for different reasons. I struggled with drugs and alcohol and got arrested a few times and I witnessed firsthand what solitary confinement did to people I knew. It changes a person and darkens their minds. The devil can have his way with you even more when you're alone in a dark place
@@waltking9141 there are innocents locked up as well you dumbass. They have to suffer the same as those convicted. Maybe you should go there as well. Lets see if you still have the same opinion then. Maybe one day another criminal with badge comes knocking at *your house* to arrest you for something you havent done. Would be karma.
Being from Norway this really shocks me. America.. your prison system is a much worse crime than the prisoners themselves. Treating people worse than animals is not the solution.
It's terrible the system here and it is proven that more people who have been to prison come out worse than when they went in which makes them even more of a danger to society only a small handful can still function in society and continue with life . Where I live in the US iv only been in one correctional facility due to a mock trial internship and it was depressing and dark on the inside but beautiful and well taken of on the outside its weird .
Yes this is where they are going? Are you happy now? You engaged in the torture of 4 people. They are not going into general population cos they are cops, they have to go into solitary. Are you happy now with what you've done? Also would you rather die in 8 minutes or spend 70 years in there? Which is worse?
Best punishment or rehabilitation would be to force these guys to go to school, work or some type of program. Any thing that could give meaning and hope to life, people need a reason to wake up everyday or else they will be completely destructive. After being on Rikers 8 months for a crime I didn't commit, I witness the people coming outta the box felt like they had nothing to lose and nothing to gain. They became even worse. However the guys going to school, going to programs and working in the jail all behaved because they actually had something to lose. For some people there is no hope thats true. But its a shame to see a good kid go into the box because he had to defend hisself from a bully, only to come out of the box with the "fuck the world i got nothing to lose attitude." Some people dont like living in population and would rather be put in solitary so they dont have to do anything, they even have the meals brought to them, so they do something crazy just to get into the box and be alone in the cell all day. I worked in the kitchen and the most successful and functional people always had stuff to do, while the guys with nothing to do were the most depressed, emotional, violent, and unpredictable. The C.O.'s come in many different personalities, just like the inmate. However the overall attitude is "leave me the fuck alone, and Im tougher than you." I never had any issues with the inmates however I had two altercations with the guards, as this was my first time in jail and I was simply asking one of the guards information on how things work in there. Sadly most the information u need will only given to you by other inmates or a captain. The CO's are mostly there for a check, they could care less about rehabilitation and many of them try to be "cool" with the most powerful and wealthy inmates in the jail. I think some of the CO's are actually gang members.
Another thing. There is no real library on rikers. Only the law library. Those of use who were no trouble normally had many books under our bed. We would lend books out to other inmates and you can see the difference in an inmate who has books to read and one with nothing to do all day. They need a library. Btw I was the only one from my cell block to go to the law library and when I came back up, I would be bombarded by the other inmates for information. People like mentors who can guide them in the right path. They need more positive people to talk to them, more information of how to be a functional person, and classrooms. Because many of them are uneducated don't even know what direction Canada is from NYC. I taught and mentored so many of them my nick name on Rikers was "Uncle Will" because everyone is called by last name in jail. I ran into one kid who was 18 or 19 and just brought into the adult population from the adolescents. He came into the dorm wild, but the house I was living in was a "work house." We were all older more mature men with a minority of young men. This kid fell into line quickly because we didnt want our privileges taken away because he made the house "hot." We smoked, cooked and had all kinds of stuff we wasnt supposed to have (because we all worked and gained access to certain fringe benefits) and this wild ass kid woulda fucked all that so he was pulled to the side and told by the OG's of the house that they would "put him on the gate" if he didnt chill the fuck out. He followed the lead of the rest of the house and stopped being a bad kid out of fear of getting his teeth smashed in by the entire house. So basically, you set a reward system up, have the toughest guys gain from and get used to the reward system and they will manage the prison for u out of fear of losing all privileges. Of course this only works for most people. There are still assholes that never learn, and I witnessed one get stabbed up for making the house hot and always starting trouble.

Emma Barker I have thought about it before, it just hurts me so much to see our country making laws without consulting experts or having any regard for the effects of their policy on anyone but themselves. It's already proven that social isolation permanently harms the human brain no matter the age. Solitary confinement is just as inhumane as beating someone. There is a serious disconnect with most people when it comes to mental versus physical harm.

Some of the correctional officers shouldn’t be wearing those uniforms, when I was 19 years old I was arrested for a suspended license on a cracked windshield which had it replaced. But the court clerk never removed it from the system. I was arrested during holiday weekend. I was told by the corrections officer to pick up my mattress and blankets to place on the bunk outside the cells. The officer said that I was too slow so he going to teach me a lesson by locking me up in a solitary cell for the whole four days. What made me hates the court even more was, during an arraignment I showed the judge the receipt and she asked me why am I I’m her court wasting her time. I was still in handcuffs and in Orange jail suit. I was so upset I told the female judge perhaps I enjoy watching her humiliating me. I said I wrongly jailed thrown in a solitary confinement for four days and she’s asked me what am I doing in her court room. So I told her this is how you get people in the systems a vicious cycle that drives people to go out and do bad things because of the corrupt government. I’m 50 years old now and I’m still upset and bitter about the experienced I went through. I enlisted in the US Army served 12 years with honorable discharges. Owning several businesses because I promised myself to never let another human being ruin my life again because I didn’t know the laws or the money to hire an attorney.
Some nonviolent crimes: robbery, burglary, vehicle theft, fraud, vandalism, arson, theft, DUI, to name a few. Should all those go free because they didn't assault or kill somebody? What would our society be then?
They DO! Only the most violent who cannot be managed in a room with others go to solitary confinement. I taught at Florida State Prison, which was all solitary because they are the worst and most violent in the state, and also at Union Correctional Inst., the non-violent who had jobs and worked on the prison farms and played basketball and came to class (29 male inmates and me). They are always separated by levels of behavior.The guys in solitary have to be. They are so out of control that they attack other inmates and staff. Often this is temporary and they can work their way back to regular prison. Some are always violent and will kill anybody they can. Emphasis everywhere is on rehab.
Benjamin Hill In Virginia they don't have as many behavioral issues. In minor infraction in prison they get put in a cell for 23 1/2 hours out the day and they only feed they the same thing everyday for breakfast lunch and dinner with water. They saw a drastic drop in behavioral issues.
@@tamansingh9613 wait. SPE was how the people changed and fitted their roles. There was solitary confinement but from what I know it was put in place by the participants (like own choice of the people role playing as the police/in charge)
Jarvīs - I totally agree that’s why I live my life on the straight and narrow, I did what I can so I don’t go to prison, the thought of loosing freedom cause great anxiety to me, I can’t watch no more, I know they chosen there ways but I kinda feel that being in this environment it makes it worse.
I recently left my job as a CO after a decade. The things I've seen... We need to do something for prison reform. Some prisoners are so volatile and violent there's no way they should be with normal prisoners. Please remember, there are many people in there for NON VIOLENT crimes fighting for their lives everyday. There are extremely mentally ill people in there as well as extremely violent. And I've seen men go into solitary confinement come out as ghosts of their former selves and they were put in there for DEFENDING themselves but in prison, it doesn't matter. It's horrible. And it's all for profit now so it's even worse.. They just pack people in there, as many as they can get in because they get money for it.
I agree, same with rehab facilities, work I work at they have drug addicts, alcoholic s, mental illness, homeless and some that got a minor offense in public. They treat everyone the same, giving them the same medications, that are not even suppose to be giving to. Doctors misdiagnosed too many people, just to keep them in there. It’s all about the money!!!

Sasquatch Models that’s great! but many people will not get hired after being incarcerated. many people may not have the correct social or financial supports to steer them out of bad doings, which usually leads them back into jail. plus ssssooooo many more things. just because you didn’t experience that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. and if there’s more than one person saying it, it’s not the person, it’s the system. i’ve never been to jail but it seems like he was totally complacent with being in jail. which would be a “positive attitude.”

Honestly I think it's great what he's trying to do with solitary confinement. I also understand the issues people have with it. It's a very fine line both ways. But it does make sense to try to give people hope and rehabilitation. I know what isolation does to my mental health so I can't imagine if I was someone that struggled with aggression and anger by using violence and having someone lock me up in solitary confinement with those type of thoughts and not having any kind of Hope or help. You're literally creating a more dangerous monster than they were prior. We all make our choices but when you treat someone like an animal that's what you're going to get. I'm sure I'm going to get a lot of negative feedback on what I'm saying but I'm just trying to see this from my own experiences. I've had run into with the law for different reasons. I struggled with drugs and alcohol and got arrested a few times and I witnessed firsthand what solitary confinement did to people I knew. It changes a person and darkens their minds. The devil can have his way with you even more when you're alone in a dark place
You make good points about isolation and hey I've had a weight loss and gain issue and journey myself!
It's actually disgusting the USA thinks it's ok to treat people like this.

@@waltking9141 there are innocents locked up as well you dumbass. They have to suffer the same as those convicted. Maybe you should go there as well. Lets see if you still have the same opinion then.

Being from Norway this really shocks me. America.. your prison system is a much worse crime than the prisoners themselves. Treating people worse than animals is not the solution.

You're a weirdo who has been lopsided by liberal cruelty .
It's terrible the system here and it is proven that more people who have been to prison come out worse than when they went in which makes them even more of a danger to society only a small handful can still function in society and continue with life . Where I live in the US iv only been in one correctional facility due to a mock trial internship and it was depressing and dark on the inside but beautiful and well taken of on the outside its weird .

Yes this is where they are going? Are you happy now? You engaged in the torture of 4 people. They are not going into general population cos they are cops, they have to go into solitary. Are you happy now with what you've done? Also would you rather die in 8 minutes or spend 70 years in there? Which is worse?

GasoLINA INK! You know what the did???
Best punishment or rehabilitation would be to force these guys to go to school, work or some type of program. Any thing that could give meaning and hope to life, people need a reason to wake up everyday or else they will be completely destructive.
After being on Rikers 8 months for a crime I didn't commit, I witness the people coming outta the box felt like they had nothing to lose and nothing to gain. They became even worse.
However the guys going to school, going to programs and working in the jail all behaved because they actually had something to lose.
For some people there is no hope thats true. But its a shame to see a good kid go into the box because he had to defend hisself from a bully, only to come out of the box with the "fuck the world i got nothing to lose attitude."
Some people dont like living in population and would rather be put in solitary so they dont have to do anything, they even have the meals brought to them, so they do something crazy just to get into the box and be alone in the cell all day.
I worked in the kitchen and the most successful and functional people always had stuff to do, while the guys with nothing to do were the most depressed, emotional, violent, and unpredictable.
The C.O.'s come in many different personalities, just like the inmate. However the overall attitude is "leave me the fuck alone, and Im tougher than you." I never had any issues with the inmates however I had two altercations with the guards, as this was my first time in jail and I was simply asking one of the guards information on how things work in there. Sadly most the information u need will only given to you by other inmates or a captain. The CO's are mostly there for a check, they could care less about rehabilitation and many of them try to be "cool" with the most powerful and wealthy inmates in the jail. I think some of the CO's are actually gang members.
Another thing. There is no real library on rikers. Only the law library. Those of use who were no trouble normally had many books under our bed. We would lend books out to other inmates and you can see the difference in an inmate who has books to read and one with nothing to do all day.
They need a library. Btw I was the only one from my cell block to go to the law library and when I came back up, I would be bombarded by the other inmates for information. People like mentors who can guide them in the right path.
They need more positive people to talk to them, more information of how to be a functional person, and classrooms. Because many of them are uneducated don't even know what direction Canada is from NYC.
I taught and mentored so many of them my nick name on Rikers was "Uncle Will" because everyone is called by last name in jail.
I ran into one kid who was 18 or 19 and just brought into the adult population from the adolescents. He came into the dorm wild, but the house I was living in was a "work house." We were all older more mature men with a minority of young men. This kid fell into line quickly because we didnt want our privileges taken away because he made the house "hot." We smoked, cooked and had all kinds of stuff we wasnt supposed to have (because we all worked and gained access to certain fringe benefits) and this wild ass kid woulda fucked all that so he was pulled to the side and told by the OG's of the house that they would "put him on the gate" if he didnt chill the fuck out.
He followed the lead of the rest of the house and stopped being a bad kid out of fear of getting his teeth smashed in by the entire house.
So basically, you set a reward system up, have the toughest guys gain from and get used to the reward system and they will manage the prison for u out of fear of losing all privileges. Of course this only works for most people. There are still assholes that never learn, and I witnessed one get stabbed up for making the house hot and always starting trouble.

I feel bad for the dudes that are wrongfully convicted of a crime, go to prison, and then are forced to commit ACTUAL crimes just to survive.

Let’s mention the fact that a lot of the “dangerous” in mates that are being held at Rikers, are non violent in mates. They act the way they do because the officers treat them like they’re not human.
@G S I never said that, I said a lot of inmates who are there have non violent crimes meaning they didn’t kill someone or multiple ppl, they’re there bc they were either wrongfully accused or bc of petty crime.
@@userunkown8576 petty crime it may be but, you dont go to rikers over a petty crime. Probably over a bunch of petty crimes. You know the saying.. "dont do the crime if you cant do the time"
@@ballerboy2381 actually many inmates at Rikers are there for petty crimes and not very violent crimes
@@userunkown8576 I get what you're saying but, not just one petty crime is gonna land you at Rikers. A long history of numerous petty crimes is what I'm saying
@@ballerboy2381 oh yea definitely but I’ve seen a lot of info on the internet that ppl that are at Rikers are their on non violent crimes, for example Kalief browder was falsely accused and did not have a trial for a crime that he didn’t commit.

This was all 6 YEARS AGO ! ... imagine what it's like now... 💔

ash G. You should be in the government.
Emma Barker I have thought about it before, it just hurts me so much to see our country making laws without consulting experts or having any regard for the effects of their policy on anyone but themselves. It's already proven that social isolation permanently harms the human brain no matter the age. Solitary confinement is just as inhumane as beating someone. There is a serious disconnect with most people when it comes to mental versus physical harm.
domydishes you obviously know nothing about the things that can land you in a jail.
and you know all about blaming everyone else and not taking responsibility for your own actions
domydishes I don't feed obvious trolls, enjoy your day. I hope you never get the chance to experience imprisonment as it would be severely damaging to a person of your character.
Some of the correctional officers shouldn’t be wearing those uniforms, when I was 19 years old I was arrested for a suspended license on a cracked windshield which had it replaced. But the court clerk never removed it from the system. I was arrested during holiday weekend. I was told by the corrections officer to pick up my mattress and blankets to place on the bunk outside the cells. The officer said that I was too slow so he going to teach me a lesson by locking me up in a solitary cell for the whole four days. What made me hates the court even more was, during an arraignment I showed the judge the receipt and she asked me why am I I’m her court wasting her time. I was still in handcuffs and in Orange jail suit. I was so upset I told the female judge perhaps I enjoy watching her humiliating me. I said I wrongly jailed thrown in a solitary confinement for four days and she’s asked me what am I doing in her court room. So I told her this is how you get people in the systems a vicious cycle that drives people to go out and do bad things because of the corrupt government. I’m 50 years old now and I’m still upset and bitter about the experienced I went through. I enlisted in the US Army served 12 years with honorable discharges. Owning several businesses because I promised myself to never let another human being ruin my life again because I didn’t know the laws or the money to hire an attorney.

57% in there because of non violent. Makes you think
Yeah. Pisses me off to be honest
Nobody has mentioned that except you, I like your thinking
Some nonviolent crimes: robbery, burglary, vehicle theft, fraud, vandalism, arson, theft, DUI, to name a few. Should all those go free because they didn't assault or kill somebody? What would our society be then?
Kathy Young
No. They should go to a different jail that doesn't require 23 hours of solitary confinement a day. Hell, no one should go through that.
They DO! Only the most violent who cannot be managed in a room with others go to solitary confinement. I taught at Florida State Prison, which was all solitary because they are the worst and most violent in the state, and also at Union Correctional Inst., the non-violent who had jobs and worked on the prison farms and played basketball and came to class (29 male inmates and me). They are always separated by levels of behavior.The guys in solitary have to be. They are so out of control that they attack other inmates and staff. Often this is temporary and they can work their way back to regular prison. Some are always violent and will kill anybody they can. Emphasis everywhere is on rehab.
I agree! Solitary confinement should be banned. It’s torture & it can destroy a young person’s mind, who has a greater chance of rehabilitation.
Solitary confinement is the most severe type of punishment. It can make a person go insane. Of course it would not lessen their violent tendencies.
Benjamin Hill they should remove it immediately Solitary confinement should be demolished
Yep it’s pretty barbaric and only reinforces their negative loop
I agree well other than death row but that’s a different story
Benjamin Hill In Virginia they don't have as many behavioral issues. In minor infraction in prison they get put in a cell for 23 1/2 hours out the day and they only feed they the same thing everyday for breakfast lunch and dinner with water. They saw a drastic drop in behavioral issues.
NO! the want to behave bad in solitary confinement its their choice. They can easily behave good and come out. It should stay.
2:00 wasn’t there an experiment proving that if someone spends enough time in a room like this, they literally go insane?
Jarvīs - Stanford prison experiment ???
@@tamansingh9613 wait. SPE was how the people changed and fitted their roles.

I recently left my job as a CO after a decade. The things I've seen... We need to do something for prison reform. Some prisoners are so volatile and violent there's no way they should be with normal prisoners. Please remember, there are many people in there for NON VIOLENT crimes fighting for their lives everyday. There are extremely mentally ill people in there as well as extremely violent. And I've seen men go into solitary confinement come out as ghosts of their former selves and they were put in there for DEFENDING themselves but in prison, it doesn't matter.
It's horrible. And it's all for profit now so it's even worse.. They just pack people in there, as many as they can get in because they get money for it.
I agree, same with rehab facilities, work I work at they have drug addicts, alcoholic s, mental illness, homeless and some that got a minor offense in public. They treat everyone the same, giving them the same medications, that are not even suppose to be giving to. Doctors misdiagnosed too many people, just to keep them in there. It’s all about the money!!!
Ever heard of getting "turned out"?
@@dobklyznskovik6705 Yes, of course I have. But I left anything to do with both prison sexual assault and prison sex that's consensual for a reason. You can't have any kind of discourse that's reasonable about those subjects with people because they either act completely immature or completely apathetic about it and it's not worth trying too discuss it if it's just going to be like that.
