Today is the debut of the first episode of the DIRT AND GRIME SERIES. More to come in the near future. Enjoy!!
former prisoner in the MDOC. My heart broke for those guys left behind. All I could think about is what if that had happened to me. I know most convicts are worthless repeat offenders. But some of us get out and move on successfully. I am now a small business owner and father to 5. I work hard at being a good person and keeping my karmic energy clear. I totally re invested myself when I came home from prison. I wonder how many guys like me perished in the prisons during Katrina. I hope the pedos and rapist got the worst of it
I jus wanna say I'm fuckin proud of you.
I know, probably 80% if not more are repeat offenders, non stop doin bad shit, dangerous and they just quit caring what happens to them anymore... It breaks my heart.
But guys like you, man im proud af of you and I don't even know you lol.
I myself am kind of the opposite of my husband.... I worked and went to college by the time I was 16 I'd finished high school and had the rest of my life laid out for me it was pretty much smooth sailing for me... But then I met him... And HE was constantly going in n out of jail, breaking house arrest... I'll never forget the first time I got pregnant, I drove to his house to tell him... He was so happy dude I was scared he felt like I felt, like "FUCK what did we DO!!!??" Lol but nah he was so excited!! Told me he loved me n stuff n I had to hurry off to work, we would talk about it all when I got off... I got off that night, went to his house to find him not there.... Eerie... I didn't get to see him again besides in court for the next 11months... I miscarried a few weeks later... But I stayed n I waited for this guy I love so much, we're still together, married 12years now and he hasn't been in trouble in years, last time was traffic tickets, nothing crazy he's settled down alot... He's like you I think, he sees what it's like on that side of things, he's been taken away from it, missed it n wanted nothing more than to come home to us.. he's a different guy now in the whole getting in trouble sense. He grew up, maybe that's how we can put it. Lol
Point is, I know it's HARD.... I've seen it firsthand... And I'm so glad you're out here with your 5wonderful babies and their beautiful momma, running your business killin it at life!!! Fuck yeah 🙏
Keep growing my friend. You're amazing and I'm proud of you!!!!!!
Hope something amazing happens to you today!!!
🙏❤️
@@LivingDeadGirl0702 Thank you so much for saying that ❤️ No one has ever said something like that to me, except for me😁 I tell myself that, most people are to busy with life to be concerned with me 😀 and that is okay. I was locked up from 2002 - 2007. Came home and never went back. I was fully aware of the statistics and determined to beat the odds 💪🏽 I own a fitness company now and I'm a certified personal trainer, a dream I created while in prison. (I worked out religiously in the joint).
Shout out to your hubby! it warms my heart to know there are other guys out there that made it out of the criminal lifestyle! To many times we only hear about the ones that go back. I'm proud of you and your husband 💯 Keep doing the right thing👊🏽
Even the worthless repeat offenders didn't deserve to die like that. And Good for you changing your life around. 👍
@@curtisjackson7742 I want to let you know I'm also proud of you. I know its not easy being "good". Its one of the hardest things to do in life. But, its also so rewarding in many ways, top way is mental health. Keep pushing, you're giving your children someone great to look up to and will strive to be like. We have enough terrible in the world, it's great to have someone like you. Congrats on all the hard work! 👏
@@curtisjackson7742 man im happy that my comment meant something to you. You deserve to hear it more and I'm surprised no one's told you yet to be honest! Keep on keepin on man take care!! 🙏 ❤️
All of us weren't left in the basement some of us were still on those floors that you walked on some of us were still stuck in some of those upper and lower level cells that you walked in some of us stayed inside that building for 3 days with no food and no water I am one of those people
Who was left in the basement? Do you know ?
Glad you made it out.
So like what happened to the trustees that are mostly not in cells or any of the inmates that were not in a cell at the time? I ask this bcuz they could’ve opened the cells for yall. Did anyone actually drown at this jail or was it the CCC jail like ppl are saying?? What did the guards say to yall before leaving?? You say some of y’all were still stuck?? Where were the others that wasn’t stuck?? Why didn’t the inmates that wrote the HELP message on the roof get food from the kitchen or commissary?? Was it all under water and were there ppl in there too?? I have so many questions but I’ll stop here. I’m so sorry that this happened to yall and I hope you are living well and staying positive. Much ❤️ from the D(Detroit)
I love you 💕
@@dajadynasty honestly ppl did die in some of those buildings, that's not the only building. Guards said nothing to us they just left.
The first homeless man said "the basement is creepy, like a kill room or butcher shop. I can take you down there if you want." Um No Thanks
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm glad I came across this video. Why isn't this talked about?! This is the first time hearing about this.
SAME IM COMPLETELY SHOCKED
You probably never heard about the national guard coming in assaulting civilians and stripping them of fire arms and other weapons. During hurricane Katrina either. Not to mention the asbestos pre manufacture mobile homes given to the people who lost there homes. That where deemed unsafe after people started dying in mass numbers in there sleep, all of witch where confiscated and “destroyed” aka re branded and sold cheap to miners and oil field workers across the country.
👍 right!!??? I'm furious actually.
Same
Probably not talked about cause it’s one of MANY similar situations in the area.
The situations have been discussed as a whole, just not specific mention of every single building.
You’d think a State owned Jail or Prison, would get a lil’ more attention though huh ? It’s absurd all around, everything about Katrina and the towns affected (SCREWED OVER)
I was in this place before, during & after Katrina. Wasn't moved till 4 days later only to be taken to Hunts Correctional Facility and slept on the ground in the rain for 2 days. We were outside taking showers with a hose pipe, they threw peanut butter and jelly sandwiches over a 20ft fence to feed over 800 inmates. You never experienced hell till you experienced these living conditions. I had a friend in there who had a seizure and they refuses to help him. At the time the Sheriff was Marlin Gusman, a born idiot who allowed his deputies to abandon us them 3 days following Katrina. No food, no water or medical attention. So.e were to be released 3 days prior to Katrina but the governor called for a mandatory evacuation allowing inmates to be held longer. I can honestly say that I wouldn't want anyone I hate to experience what I've been through those 3 horrific days. While trapped in there, you can hear inmates screaming from the lower floors till they went dead silent.
@darren Callahan is this a county/city jail or a prison DOC??
I am sorry u had to go threw this
@@deannafromdablock1994 city smh downtown nola
I am so sorry you had to live through that. I could only imagine how awful it must have been. I would love to know what they were thinking when they locked you all in the prison to die. They should be ashamed of themselves for the way they treated you and the other inmates.
Whoever made the decision to leave inmates to fend for themselves in a locked facility should face charges
I was right next to this jail I was manger at hotel all I heard was screaming and shooting I need to be interviewed I seen and heard it all 😔😔😔
Wow!!!
Keep saying that see if the government don't go pick u up.make it look like you disappeared on your own or got into a car accident.
@@priscillasanchez1106 I think you need to go to a docter
Start you a TH-cam channel and break down the stories
Please contact me...My Twin brother was inside of that prison too during Katrina.Ill interview you both at the same time.
Prison should be demolished, removed period. People can be abducted and kept there. It's unsanitary and very unsafe.😒💯 They'll probably find some of the missing underneath, dead of course.
I suffered from mold exposure at my old house once and it does major harm to the body, digestive system, brain fog, anxiety, etc those people living there definitely need to be wearing mask and have circulating air. This is interesting thou looks fun to explore the empty buildings
I really appreciate your exploration, nice job! As a healthcare worker I just need to say that you really should be wearing a good mask 😷. You don’t realize all the toxins growing in the places you are exploring and especially when it is wet and damp. The water is dripping through many layers on rotting, molding, mildew that you don’t want growing in your lungs! Just cuz I care! 😘
I was thinking the same thing.
Exactly what I thought !
+
Agreed
masks don't do anything at least not a cloth one haha
You guys need respirators walking into mold like that!! Eeeshh!!
Good video tho! Thanks for exploring this place, i got goosebumps when that guy said its haunted! Cant wait to see more ❤
Right u will get sick ewwwww🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️👀
Awesome content. You all showed something that most of us I’m sure never knew or thought about. It’s insane how many of these prisoners were left behind. Sooo sad 😔
It’s not sad! The victims they killed or hurt, now that’s sad!
@@HeadNtheClouds highly doubt they were all murderers or rapist. It’s very sad
@@HeadNtheClouds and not all imprisoned are guilty.
Thank you kayb!
The homeless guy said if you need someone to show y’all around I can tag along and help y’all and they just said okay see ya later that was fucked up buddy probably doesn’t meet a lot of new people that was fucked up of them
You gotta be careful of the company you keep in normal places, let alone an abandoned prison where no help is coming no matter what. It probably was hurtful and I'd say 90% chance that guy just wanted some company, but it's really not a good place to make new friends.
@@jk7140 I didn’t think about that that’s a good point
I agree with the decision less chance of them to try some dumb shit keep everyone at a distance until trust is built plus the guy would have wanted cash or something for helping the tour the place safety first always
Sounded like he knew some shit about this place. I was hoping they would've given him a short interview at least. Totally understand why they did not.
They just left all the prisoners behind locked up. Someone needs to be held accountable. The families of the prisoners who drowned should at the very least be compensated and the mayor should go to prison along with the guards. That's some bullshit
@Ron Dunn Exactly. Yes, it's absolutely terrible, but in all honesty, what could they have done? Horrible and frightening situation.
Nagin was Mayor of NO at time of Katrina, who served two tumultuous terms in office that ended in 2010, was found guilty by a jury in 2014 on 20 counts of wire fraud, bribery and tax evasion after a trial that captivated the city. He was the first New Orleans mayor ever convicted of corruption.
They could of atleast moved everyone to the top floor and paid a few guards hazard pay to stay behind and watch the prisoners and kept a generator going, or transferred them to different prisons in different states
@@NomadGuardian He ran off to Texas and let them fend for themselves. He showed NO leadership. All he did was scream. In Mississippi they took care of business and helped each other.
@AvalonDreaming danggg! That's messed up. Funny how he ran to Texas. Reminds me of Ted Cruz when he took his girls on vacation during that big ice storm in Texas last year when hundreds of thousands were left without power for WEEKS. And Trump when the Capitol was stormed. Sheesh!
Loved the video. I remember driving by there a few months before Katrina hit and to see it now and seeing that area now is kind of sad . What happened during and after Katrina is the closest thing to the walking dead you will ever see or not see . It was pure apocalyptical there and just shows a small glimpse of what will happen if that were to happen worldwide.. be safe everyone
im born n raised here in the city from n.o. east. but no the closest thing to living dead has got to be kensington ave in philly look up that shit on youtube n tell me dat aint the real deal living dead. real zombies bruh walking round with flesh eating disease from the bullshit dope they be shoving in they arm, shits eating they body from the inside out. they have youtube videos on kensington. i only thought new orleans was bad til i seen allat kensington shit
There is DEFINITELY a body in that room with all the flies swarming. Likely someone OD’d I would report that anonymously if I were you
Was thinking the same thing
Can you give me a time stamp please?
@@chaboyaj9189 9:05
My thought also was something is dead in that room
Too many flies can only mean that.
This is BY far the best bando walk through on TH-cam currently.. well done, good work, best location...
First thing I thought of... There is a lot of black mold in that building and you guys are breathing it all in without respirators on it. Just saying
Born and raised in New Orleans and this building is so creepy at night time! Most of our abandon buildings have power. We have a homeless man every Christmas put out a little Christmas tree in the window of the abandoned charity hospital. Should definitely have mask on. You should check out the hospital and the plaza tower building. The city has plans after Katrina to make it into a residential and commercial building that has extended power supply and water supply that could be used 3 months after a storm if needed. But it’s covered in asbestos
Why the mask tho?!?
@@chrisrathburn5026 Mold, or Asbestos like she said.
Back in the day when I was constantly in trouble an in an out of jails this was always one of my biggest fears. A natural disaster happening. The thought of being trapped in a concrete cell with no means to eat or escape if water levels started to rise..that's a scary thought and whoever allowed this to happen needs to be charged to the fullest extent of the law. SMH.
you can't bring charges against god
@@antiscyllisneocht5669 You can against the people that were responsible for them! 😠😡
@@jenjennitrite8146
Nobody knows what really happened the storm like that hits electrical stuff gets bad and whatever else happens in the midst of it how do you know they didn't try to get everybody they could out.
What are you a fucking magician?
That you would have saved your own ass first before you got anybody out
@@antiscyllisneocht5669 I was thinking this is a hard judgment day for thoes who pissed on God's word. I'd love to see the case work on who was left to see how many rapist and murderers got dragged to hell that storm
God will judge them accordingly
All those flies made me think something was dead in that room 😬😬
dude sameeee. it reminds me of like a horror game’s ritual area or something. like i expected a pentagram or some sh1t like that
Youd smell it
And that woman was sleeping in that place alone Jesus
I instantly started itching 😭
Thanks guys... The Flys and that Heat must of been almost unbearable to film this for us all!!!
Very!
Absolutely that for sure freaked me out I heard all them flies I thought maybe there was a deceased human or animal in that room or some demons
@@witchywoman4157 no, yea, your right....was prolly demons makin the buzz sound 🤭
The flies did sound believable. Unfortunately they were added. But excellent job on sound effects!
@@williamstallings3969 were they really added for effect? Kinda weird. No, I could actually see the flies!
Really good vid homie, sound was amazing and the little interviews with those people was very down to earth and something other people should do, very well done!
Glad you enjoyed!
Yes I totally agree with you 💯❗
That's how we ALL are here in New Orleans... being born & raised here in this gumbo pot mixture of people creates VERY "down to earth" people! Gotta love NOLA!
Is he ur homie tho
That's my ex husband yall talked too
I met a guy who escaped the prison death of Katrina on a short ride on a travel bus and it was shortly after the Katrina. He shared with me that he and some other prisoners were left stranded on a bridge and they all fought hard for survival ... he said he don't know who all made it but that all the documents in the prison was being destroyed and that he felt he could start over as a free man as he explained seeing people drowning in the water right below them I could see the freedom all over his face and he was still shaken a bit not knowing his final destination. He mentioned how high the waters were on the piece of bridge where they stood yelling for help, it sounded so sad, he explained they knew no one was coming for them. I don't know what he was in there for but I would hope that he would start over clean. He also mentioned a few of the fellas went in an opposit direction towards Texas and I do believe he told exactly how they escaped that water scenery but I have forgotten it however many prisoners were purposelyleft for dead so he said ... Now I'm going to watch this video to see what they are saying.
That’s sad and my heart goes out to him, but sadly, he’s not being 100% truthful about how the bridge situation happened. I made a comment earlier on here explaining the REAL situation and events told by literally everyone that I talked to including deputies who I worked with, the actual inmates themselves that were there on the bridge, and civilians. All of them had the same stories at different times(referencing the times that they individually told me the events of those horrible days). I mean IDENTICAL stories despite not knowing each other personally or knowing each other existed, with the exception of some deputies and inmates knowing each other from working/existing closely together then and presently. Not saying that the gentleman is a bad person or a liar or ANYTHING negative, I’m just saying that they seem to have embellished some facts and events. That’s all. God bless him and you.✊🏾💙
@@OfficerSuperman_she-her ... I didn't know the guy other than being a passenger on the same Travel bus that I aboarded.
I’m glad you listened to him, because he probably wanted to talk with someone about it.
@@paperdollartzgeniuz3911 I understood that. I was just letting you know. Again, not being negative, argumentative, judgmental, or any disrespectful or negative thing. I was just letting you know what REALLY happened so you wouldn’t go on believing false stuff. God bless you, Sir for being an angel to that man by being a listening ear.
@@OfficerSuperman_she-her ... It was a ten minute brief chat converstion whilebboarding the bus ... we sat in different areas of the bus. I hadn't repeated his story since that day ... it's not that serious of what I believe of what really happened, he made it out alive is what matters and that hopefully he made good with his freedom. Thanks for your kind information though.
I love how she said “thank you so much, we are actually trying to get a bus ticket now and takes the money. Lady stop lying 🤣
Oh I'm glad you shared this, I couldnt hear what they said. That was very kind of them to give her money. I can't even imagine how hard her life must be right now if she's willingly living in an abandoned jail
Most times its a lie. They need drug money. Maybe she doesnt. But ya never know
Lmao, lying like a mofo!
@@commentcraftsman 😁
Getting her some good Ole dope! Lmao
Go explore Six Flags New Orleans aka Jazzland. That is also abandoned
I love how he filmed the payphone as if it was an ancient device, which is pretty much is lol
One of the few that isnt vandalized
hurricane katrina was 2005 but that prison is 30 years old
@@Bennythecoredriver i want the payphone for my kitchen
@@markzucker3949 Is it wrong to have placed on a checklist all the things i would have taken if i was there lol
I know a few people who where in that jail during Katrina one person was in tears telling me how they had the inmates in Water up to their neck while wearing shackles trying to Evacuate and the Guards left lots of people to drown
Yeah sure
@@hardcorehunter9438 it really happened. What are you "sure-ing" about ?
What happened? Did any of them survive and what happened to them??
@@lorishoe12 the people I know survived but they get emotional talking about it and say others were left to Drown
@@lorishoe12 also they moved on with Their lives but of course they say the sheriff of New Orleans was at fault
I love how long you set your camera on one thing I felt like I was really there some people walk too fast you really know what your doing bro 🦾
I was thinking the same thing.... definitely a master of his craft
I was homeless for 2yrs on the streets of new England including the harsh winters and you never had a building like this to stay in. As bad as some parts are this is a homeless person dream crash spot it even has power. I know if it was me I would of cleaned up one of the better areas swept it out and cleaned it up as best as could. The power alone is huge I dam near died from exposure a few times. My toes had turned purple from hypothermia and they have never been the same since. I'm glad you gave her some money most people would rather spit on you then help you. I had the cops come to my tent in the middle of the night in the snow and slash my tent apart and throw my belongings in the river leaving me with nothing but the clothes on my back and nowhere to sleep they dam near killed me by doing it and they did it to other people I knew who ended up freezing to death
That is awful Justin,no way to treat people.sorry you had to go through that hell.hope you are in a better place now x
I live in New England and it gets cold here!! 🤦🏽♀️ That's horrible how the police did that to you!! Thanks for sharing a little piece of your life. Happy Healthly Holidays to you and your family!! ✌🏼😷
Damn where in New England?
@@anthonyw9129 N.H CT ✌🏼
@@eurasianhillbilly5513 it sure does get cold I know a couple people who are still homeless and 3 days before Christmas the cops went around the city slashing tents then having the city come pick them up. They slash them so the people can't just set them up somewhere else but now those people have no where to go at night and no blankets. I don't agree with the way they handled the situation they should offer them a bed in a shelter before doing this to them. The shelter around here only lets you stay for a couple weeks then you can't come back for 90 days the system sucks
Great video,it's messed up those guards who are supposed to be good guys abandon people who aren't all good but they are still people.
@#HotMessMom If they was left in a cell where no power was working then they we're abandoned them cells, them doors, kitchens nothing gone work without power
Maybe their famlies needed them though.
Nobody was left behind. This video is not correct. They don’t even have cells down there
Not one single guard in this world is a “good guy” period!
@@nicsmomma01 dont go to jail 🤷🏾♂️….period
Sad part is if you was to guard you would be afraid to turn these people loose some of them are really bad people some not but they may kill you on the way out
Could have at min moved them 2 a higher level in the building into dining rooms etc .they should never have left them in the lower floors! Thats criminal @ very sad that humans do that 2 each other @ i wonder why no 1 went in and gave them some tools 2 excape? Like there family or friends.any 1 ?????
Man that's so sad that they left people behind...we are all human it's just heartbreaking to think about it..imagine being left and just slowly starving aww man..godbless all LOST and their families..rip to those lost..🙏👍‼
They don't give a shit about you even if you were only in jail overnight for a ticket, they would leave you to die. A friend of mine was in jail for 6 months and was begging to see medical every night because he had stomach pains. They refused him every time like they do everyone. When he was released he was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer and was dead within a few months. It would have been treatable if they would have let him see medical. He wasn't even 30 years old.
Y’all gotta be the bravest people ever the history of that place I can’t even imagine running into people
Smells like bitch in here
@@cesarvalencia4843 well then you should rinse off 🤷🏻♂️
Do you know how brave those people had to be that were in there while Katrina was happening?!? Think for a second
@@justinnietengarten6315 I can remember the buses full of people coming to Houston everyone was shell shocked I can’t even imagine the people who were stuck there
I don't know where he got his info from but 500 inmates did not drown. I'm born and raised and I'm still living in and work for the City of New Orleans. Also the inmates weren't left behind, I know guards and inmates that been there.
So effing sad...we are one of the worst, least humane in our incarceration of people. The courts and cops are offenders too. So much abuse...so much corruption.
I left New Orleans years ago and I'm much happier since I did. I wanted to move away
way before Katrina ( back in the mid 90s) but never could afford to. But Katrina was the last straw. Really if it wasn't for the fact that the hurricane turned at the last minute and went east of the mouth of the river, New Orleans would have been 30 feet under water. Therefore, there wouldn't be a city there now. I guess God gave it one last chance.
I guess you have never seen the inside of a South American prison?
Imagine doin time for like driving wit suspended license and u get left to drown in jail .usa only usA
My thoughts exactly.
You don't go to prison for that.
@@cvltzilla yes you can, the judge can hit you with repeat offender law if they want to and you can do prison time
@@cvltzilla there’s been numerous people locked up for that learn the law
@@DAMO1700 prison? NO

Hahah true.
Agree
Dude with the cola🥤 been waiting on some company!! Lmao🤣😭😭😭 he's talking good and ready to give a tour.
I cant imagine the freaking warzone mentality the inmates in there had to havee
Good video I watched the whole thing very eerie to say the least, also that was the nicest thing you could of done giving that homeless women money that probably made her day so much better and would of been greatly appreciated.
He'll yeah it she got high
@@williamjones7851 as an addict myself i really didn't mean it to come off sounding so judgemental. I'm not saying drugs are good or help you at all bC the problem obviously becomes dependency and then the long term damage outweighs really any immediate benefit/ relief, but there decimated is a reason people (such as myself) turn to drugs in the first place. Especially for people like me who have a lot of truama and also a whole host of mental and physical health conditions, I tried to explain to people that drugs are never the problem they actually are my own self-medicating solution to the problem, and as someone who's been around the block with inpatient rehab more than once i personally have made a serious commitment to try to stay clean as of recent again just because I'm not happy and I don't feel good and somethings got to give. Right now for myself I know there are certain things I probably should and shouldn't do but we are all different people with different likes and dislike, have different experiences growing up and all need different things at different times and you know what I'm totally okay with that I don't want us all to be the same.... that sounds like a bunch of robots. We're all just trying to make it and i have no judgement how you or the next person gets by as long as you are not violating another person's health/safety (especially kids that's just my big thing with drugs is the destruction of causes families and the horrid and sometimes inhumane shit so many innocent little kids are exposed to bC of caregivers being fucked up but there's more to that than just drugs....I know there are people who can work/ drive/ function fine on substances and I know some of the biggest monsters out there are total squares, there's always levels to the shit)
So what if she got high, I give money to homeless people and I don't give two shits what they do with the money, sometimes if I'm rich enough I'll give them money sort of knowing its for drugs and buy them a McDonald's or something else.
@@williamjones7851 most addicts dont even get high they use just to feel normal so giving them money is still helping as it stops crimes being committed for the drugs I've seen addicts rattling and it's not a nice
I love that dude, saying how it's haunted. Maannnn I bet it is, I wanna go there
Edit: the longer I watch the more eerie sounds I hear, my ear started ringing too the energy there is high
I'll take you he's my best friend
No bs as I was watching my ear was ringing too, I knew I wasn't tripping sheesh!
The sickening thing is that Marlin Gusman (the Sheriff) kept office until last year.
yup.
Exploring abandoned places, is such a thrill for me. I am so jealous of people who make their living doing this. This one is very well done.
Wicked creepy. That place oozes weird energy
Huge buildings like this with heat. There is NO Excuse for there to be homeless people. These places could be fixed up and put in great use. It is across the street from a police station how sad is that!
Your house has heat. How many live with you?
Take it out on the actors in the real life truman show. Its people doing what they have to do to survive. Like the cockroaches following the fleeting oxygen into that camera lens guard, people go where they have to, to be able to survive and live. Look at em. Look at their life. You really gonna hack on em? I think theyve been through, still in middle of enough. N who uses heat in NOLA? Maybe spend less that throwin stones and build them a house. But thatd cost you more. Oh wait. Thats right. Damn. Fuck all the chomos, but i doubt some raging criminals are gonna live across from police station.......
If i was inmate and they left me to die, id be goin for blood when they got back. Thats the mentallity of 90% of cops these days. Prolly pissed anyone survived
What a nice, utopian thought. But you can start in your own community, Faith. Gas up the minivan and check the alleys and underpasses for those in need of a warm bed. You don't mind if they crash on the couch, forever, do you?
I wanted to hear more about it being haunted!
RRRRRIGHT !!!!!!!!!!! ME TOO !!!!!!!! 👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻
You're worried that they're the police. She's worried that y'all are the police. You're taking pictures. They're stealing copper. I think you had nothing to worry about lol.
Whatever the charges might of been those men that were left didn't deserve the death sentence. Without a judge and jurors. Nice work on this piece. Very informative and once there has been destruction the news media doesn't like to focus to much time on things that are still a problem. It will take decades to get the city back to what it was. I pray for the victims that were left for dead.
This is such a shame this had to happen the way it did.
I’m extremely happy to have come across your channel and exploration of abandon places. The story behind this is insane and is even crazier that it was swept under the rug that correctional officers just left prisoners to die. That trips me out.
ballsy. I live in New Orleans and would never go there... creepy. alot of weird history here in NOLA.
The whole state is creepy

If they knew a hurricane was coming why did they keep prisoners locked in the basement? It's like they knew they were going to die down there. The sheriff responsible for that will face the grim reaper when he passes away if he hasn't already
You guys are really brave bc, after running into 2homeless ppl, I would have ran out of there ASAP!!!!! Be careful guys & wear respirators or masks 😷!! God Bless 🙏
Not brave, stupid and lucky
Homeless people are just like you and me. Most of them simply got down on their luck. You’d be surprised at how short a fall it is to being right where they are…
homeless people are literally just people
Yup, asbestos like a mf
Mesothelioma aint no joke
@@viciousdope66: facts, we all could be in there position
Mold exposure can effect you for life. Please protect yourself
Just guessing, but maybe a lot of that equipment stacked in the hall and rooms were water damaged and not usable. Probably not worth retrieving. Poor homeless lady. You guys were lucky! That could have ended badly. Holy cow! That homeless man was interesting and a bit dillusional. I really expected him to tag along with you. I don't know if I would have continued. I guess the police don't walk across the street to this place to clear it. Disgusting but interesting place. Well done!
I was thinking that also about it being to 💦 water damaged to salvage!
Not even that, most of it is probably, totally obsolete. Tech changes so fast and that stuff is old.
I imagine the squatting in these areas is prevalent. Addiction and alcoholism rates skyrocketed after Katrina. Understandably so.
Why dillusional?
Needs to be demolished or refurbished. Which ever is cheaper
This is so creepy, but fascinating at the same time. I lived in New Orleans for 4 years with my than boyfriend David (from Rochester, NY). He got arrested at a ball game for a fight. And I remember him staying in this actual jail until I could come and get him.
Buffalonian…. Let’s go Buffalo!
@Bethany Wilhelm is he a chemical dependentcy worker?
Did you have a good time while he was locked up ? And how long did you leave him in there before you got him out ?

More than 500 are still “missing” till this day?!?!?! Excuse me, *WHAT?!?!? Why have I not heard of this before and that over 500 inmates who were locked in this jail are mysteriously “missing”?!?! Wtf?!?*
You do know some inmates ran away and never turned themselves back in ????? They count as missing as well . Also some may have escaped and ended up drowning later on
I’m so glad you did this video. This is a dam shame how lives were lost and nothing was done about it!!
Nothing at all and pushed under the run but the people running the city,.
Please bless these souls Rest In Peace May your families are loved ones find healing and this is evil at a high level
I love ppl that can just start up a conversation w a stranger..
Homeless shelters R needed everywhere.
My friends went to New Orleans in 2020. There were hundreds of homeless around their hotel in the city of New Orleans. They were shooting up with needles right in front of the police on the sidewalk. There was a abandoned building some of them were staying in. Someone could have turned that building into a shelter. Even this jail could make a decent shelter but we don't bother with that. Thirty beds at the salvation army for cold nights. Smh.
16:21 you caught an EVP you hear an older man voice saying "wet" when you closed the book with signatures in medical room. 20:08 you hear another voice mumbled 'you'll die in here"
Damn that’s some freaky shit
Crazy stuff !!!!
HEEELLLLL NAAAAAWWWWWWWLLLL HOW THEY NOT HEAR THAT!!!!
@@alfaromeoorphanage1172 idk I was wondering the same! It was so clear. I'm a paranormal junkie I look for this $hit lol
@@tarotdreamseverythinginbet350 literally as soon as I heard the one at the 20 min mark I was like hell naaaahhh then I seen this comment 😳 😂
Let get funky
I just got sick from the mold just watching this. I'm praying for the homeless people in there to get their lives right and get out of there and never have to go back to an unsafe and unhealthy place.
Yes I wonder if they realize how dangerous it is to be living there
@@joannacruz9818 they do. They were talking about being sick and talking about the mold. They don't live in an area like we do where there was a time we had to live in a tent and it was safe. They can't just put up a tent in the woods and go to and from their camps without worrying about alligators and other wild things. It's pretty sad. There's tons of jobs up here in Illinois now. Lots of people lost their way and either can't or don't want to find their way back and they don't have the strength to deal with people anymore so they're just hoping without action.
Yeah, what a shithole! Happy Mardi Gras shit heads
It’s crazy I looked up some of the members of the sheriffs office @ 25:50 at the time and some of them have since died! R.I.P to them and all of the victims of Katrina 🙏🏽
What happened to going in the basement?!?!?
I’d be so creeped out running to people in a big ass prison you thought was abandoned!
Thats nothin ive been in a 4 man cell wit 6 ppl the extra 2 sleep on plastic canoe lookin bed on floor sharing 1 toilet yea jail sucks. 😂 good video
I am pleased for you. You must be proud. Moral to this story? Don't go to jail?
Only an idiot would say they should proud,this story has no morals n u better watch it u might go to jail for bein stupid 😂
@@ghlawrence2000 Don’t be a smartass to someone just sharing an experience. Bet you don’t act like that with ppl face to face..
That's a good one U said to them: "Ur not the cops r ya?" NOOO. They were just squatting and u scared the shit out of them. They thought u guys were the cops, with all the bright lights and that. At least one of u gave her a couple of dollars.
As much as I HATED working for OPSO, because of how corrupt the deputies and rank are and how horrible they treat the inmates, saying that they left majority of them to die there is a lie. Deputies were literally called in to help evacuate and keep safe and contained as many inmates as possible. The deputies and inmates were then stuck on the bridge to try and evacuate the city for days. Mind you, imagine there being hundreds to thousands of inmates on a bridge with little to no resources and no help. You would be even more pissed than usual. Now imagine having a MAXIMUM of around 100 deputies to contain, control, and care for as much as possible those hundreds to thousands of pissed and scared inmates with only a shotgun for every few deputies. Because of those circumstances, unfortunately, some inmates weren’t able to be saved in time. It’s one of the worst feelings in the world feeling like you’re the reason someone lost their life, in the most agonizing way, despite knowing that you did EVERYTHING you could to save them.
Anyway, like I said, the deputies there, rank, and overall staff in general are horrendous and corrupt. Hence, why I left to become a road cop where I could stick to my oath and morals and actually HELP people. However, the few deputies that left their families to go help the inmates on their off days, not knowing if they would ever see them again, were some of the FEW good deputies that worked there.

That’s not even true. A woman who was an inmate at OPP said she was treated worse than a dog. Y’all gone pay dearly for what was done to those people. Don’t come on here lying when everyone is saying y’all did opposite.
@@jazmynbrown6820 FIRSTLY, You obviously lack comprehensional reading abilities. I said I hated how badly they treated the inmates, hence why I left because I refused to treat other human beings like they were worse than trash. SECONDLY, you don’t know me and I don’t know you(thank GOD) for you to get your illiterate ass on here telling me I’m a liar as if you were there when I were there and knew what I did and didn’t do then. If I was content or complacent with the way the other deputies treated the inmates, I most likely would’ve still been there, but clearly I’m not. Maybe you should focus on bettering your reading comprehension, people skills, critical thinking, reasoning, entitlement issues, and I’m sure many more issues you have before you embarras yourself on the Internet in front of strangers with your failed attempt to analyze to judge a complete stranger with absolutely NO evidence or truth to your pathetic, backwards ass reasoning. Be blessed!🙂
@@jazmynbrown6820 ALSO, this happened before I even began working with them. I was still in highschool. I had this story confirmed by not only the deputies that experienced this, but also family, friends, strangers that live there who were also stuck, AND inmates themselves that survived the whole ordeal that were still incarcerated by the time I began working for them in 2016. Do I give a shit about a complete stranger talking like they know me? Hell no. Does your disrespect, ignorance, and entitlement lowkey aggravate me? Absolutely. 🤷🏾♀️
Awesome exploration! It must be quite scary coming across anybody in an abandoned location, especially one this massive. Glad I discovered your channel. Liked and subscribed, all the way from South Africa! 😎
Those guards need to be in jail.
The family needs know why an be able seek justices
Thank you for exposures how could they live life known they let people died.
No body died. The first few floors was administration and medical treatment plus staff. Cells wasn't till 4th or 5th floor. The water never got that high
This is my horrible city. Born and raised. Unforgivable, what they did then. It's beyond comprehension.
Absolutely 😢
This make me angry... a ton of wasted money 💰 and a ton of wasted recyclable stuff! Government waste at it's finest!!
Those families need to be compensated. In some way for that. How do you leave all them to die. Locked up like that is horrific to hear. I can't imagine what they went thru. It's to sad to know ppl died like that.
Agreed!
I hope that every "worker" who abandoned these people ( not just criminals) were found and sent to jail themselves. They left these PEOPLE to parish. NOT OK.
BTW great vid
Unfortunately the criminal justice system 👀 at something like that as doing a favor to the world regardless of the fact that you are supposedly innocent till proven guilty in a court of law then you are still locked up and forced to prove your innocence so really you are guilty till proven innocent otherwise why would you be in jail fighting to prove your innocence
Hearing all those bugs flying & knowing it was flooded from a hurricane and that it has mold everywhere makes me feel awful for the homeless living there. I have bronchitis and can’t have a lot of dust in my house without it affecting me. I’d be so sick and the the HORRIBLE HOMICIDE that basically happened to those people left behind would be enough to keep me out. I pray for all of New Orleans that they finally properly & fully recover from hurricane Katrina. What really trips me out is the fact American officials stick there nose in other countries business when states like this in our home!! Need our help.
Agreed!
They love it, most bandos don't have electricity
When Katrina happened, that's the first thing I was curious about was what happened to the prisoners? No news ever talked about it.
Not being an ass, but it was on the news briefly. Same scenario at the Zoo.
Forgotten souls
My husband is from NO. He said that this really happened. The prison guards abandoned the prison and prisoners did drown. Many are missing as well.
Good
@@oworld4057 what if one of them were your love one that's not good regardless of what an individual did to go to prison not to suffer in that way
How could they be missing tho? Hope escaped…
@@wyneewilliams9926 no family in LA
@@oworld4057 Whatever
I just wanna know if the armory ever got touched
Where was my Manz going with the bolt cutters tho😭😭🤣
underrated channel, also really nice of you guys to help that lady out.
Much appreciated!
Thank you for your help and kindness ☺️ Respect
As some who had been homeless for several years- I wholly appreciate people like these men that see someone hurting and genuinely want to help. It breaks my heart seeing that woman all alone. Being on the streets as a woman is so hard, I could only imagine what she might had been thinking.
That was crack money 😂
@@greatone9887 oh well, makes em happy atleast
Come on, you didn't want to let the homeless guy with the big slurp from 7-Eleven "Roll with you"? Lol
hahahaha
He's a very intelligent well known tattoo artist and graffiti writer
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt? Hey! That's my name too:)
Yea figured it was.
Prison should be demolished, removed period. People can be abducted and kept there. It's unsanitary and very unsafe.😒💯 They'll probably find some of the missing underneath, dead of course.
Excellent and valid point.
And everybody thought Kanye was crazy...
Edit: (well he is but thats not the point) This was some fucked up shit
KMSL
THIS VIDEOMAN SAYS: THIS IS THE HOTTEST PLACE I BEEN IN👌😆🤷🏽♀️😭😆WELCOME TO LOUISIANA 👌😭😆
I'm not surprised. When Katrina happened the media loved filming all the people dead or about to die waiting on roof tops. To this day, most traumatizing thing I ever watched on tv besides 9/11.
Katrina was a real zombie apocalypse.
Awwww What great guys! You helped that lady out 😇 xoxo
Sounds like a whole bunch of bad dudes got a fresh strat on life. 500 missing. Can you imagine facing life and all of a sudden realize you have every dream any prisoner had ever had. No guards, no power, no cameras. And the whole city is like that. Yes it was a tragedy but on the other side some real bad people got a rare 2 nd chance
Maybe I’m loony toon land, there names ares in a system, the ppl u think who got a 2nd chance are dead fam…. No prisoner not accounted for u damn fool
But did they??? I don't think so I believe their dead so sad
@@breezy7987 I agree, no way prisoners went unaccounted for and warrants weren't put out for the one who supposedly escaped. i
Or maybe a second chase to kill again 😳
@@chaboyaj9189 right and I've been to jail it's not a dream to be abandoned with no power and a storm and drowning I mean come on right
Call me foolish gullible or whatever...if I was a guard there during Katrina?..before i left i would have unlocked all of those doors...
That's a tough call.
I doubt that jar had piss in it do you really think someone would take the time to fire a jar to piss in that place. No those puddles you walked thru that was piss!!!
You guys are young and you probably have the mindset that you are invincible. Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it's not there. You need special masks and you need gloves. This isn't a matter of IF you will get sick, it's a matter of WHEN. Maybe if you took some samples of the place with you and tested it at a facility, I bet you would go running to purchase protection gear. You do great work, it would be nice if you could do this for a very long time. God Bless
I agree I wish they would all ways mask up an suit up properly cuz you never do know better to be safe than sorry
How did I know about law enforcement confiscating firearms illegally but not about prisoners being left behind? Damn
"My Friend does Copper". Ya mean your Friend STEALS copper to sell. Wtf. Scared the shit outta ME. Addicts will hang ANYWHERE,huh. Cool of him 2 give her money tho.
Most abandoned houses are abandoned because a scrapper came and stole the copper. Then the house flooded and the rehab becomes to costly at that point.
Fu@k off mark your jealous you didn't find the copper first
And he isn't an addict
It would have been cooler if he just heave her drugs
you would think they would go ahead and make plans to tear this building down.
You would think but nope.
I would have thought that a sturdy prison would have been the safest place to shelter in, during a Hurricane!
Storm surge and basements don't mix.
Not when the staff lock up & leave you behind.
It was probably in bad shape to begin with. No, our social structure doesn't make prison conditions #1 on their list of important shit to worry about.
Too bad. Imagine our world if they did.
@@TypeOneg Too bad? Are you implying prison conditions should be "#1 on their list?" How about fixing health care and education before advocating for rapists and thieves.
@@Timedelayedfuse thank God people like you aren't allowed to make the rules.
I can’t believe the Staff had to leave the prisoners and they drowned. I don’t think I could’ve done that. I thank the nurses for putting those patients to rest before they had to die and suffer alone. Great video guys, it seem like a Really scary place. Even just watching the video I get the feeling of extreme sadness and evil.
They didn't have to leave them they chose to. They could have bussed them beforehand to other facilities in other states. They could have even moved them up a few floors they chose to do this.
