It's a Sin reviews: • DOCTOR REACTS TO IT'S ...
I recently visited California, which was gorgeous by the way, a vlogged my tour around the famous ALCATRAZ PRISON. As a doctor in forensic psychiatry, this was a fascinating insight into the prison blocks, the morgue, the gorgeous gardens and beautiful views and some reflections on how it compares to modern day practice and prisons in the UK.
Let me know what you think!

This was so cool. Unfortunately, prisons in the US are still very much like this. Solitary confinement is specifically designed to be torture. They intentionally make it have either no lighting (like Alcatraz) or have artificial lighting that can't turn off. The prison systems here do very little for rehabilitation. They're too profitable, so the corporations who own them (and the politicians who receive millions of dollars in support from said corporations) are incentivized to keep prison populations as large as possible. It's part of the reason why re-offending rates are so high. Our laws certainly don't help. It's incredibly hard to receive medical care and get housing here. It's not uncommon for people experiencing homelessness and medical issues to commit crimes and get caught on purpose, because it's a way they'll get consistent housing and at least a modicum of health care. Not to mention our drug laws do nothing to help people with substance use disorder. Addicts have the same access to drugs while in prison, so they continue using during their imprisonment, and upon release. Jessica Kent does some really great content around this topic. Last Week Tonight also has a few incredibly enlightening segments on these issues. Both are available on TH-cam if you're interested in learning more.
This video really makes it clear how much you love teaching. It was nice with a change of scenery, you should take us on field trips more often. 😄
Just not to bird sanctuaries lol 😂
I love that you're explaining the horrors of different locations of the prison, but the transition music sounds like its from an upbeat travel/tiny house tour show lol
😂
Ah... short adding to the alcatraz history: It was also once taken over by a Natives group called "AIM", of course after alcatraz was abandoned by everyone. It was protesting on a whole other level, or so I read about it in Tanya Talaga's and Thomas King's books.
I was about to comment this! It also fits into the theme of rehabilitation on Alcatraz as AIM set up schools, had radio, medical. Really fascinating and radical protest.
Elliott looks radiant... in love with his work. Cheers!
I love the balance of preservation and decay there. Super interesting place.
I hope you have (or had) a chance to walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. Also, from the same area you got the boat to Alcatraz, you can take one to Angel Island. Wonderful hiking and views of the Bay, and the remains of a WWII POW camp.
Oh no Doc. In the US it is not about rehabilitation, it’s all about punishment and “client retention”…
Sup Elliott. I just wanted to say I enjoy your videos very much (when I don't often enjoy much of the videos in this niche). Although the clinic comes first & we want you to keep striving for the max competence possible, on your free time please do not ever stop making this. You're great! I love the reacting series specially hahaha
Loved this video :) nice to hear your thoughts about this prision and to take a look at it
The thing that has always worried me about when medicine gets involved with the justice system is the possibility of the pathologisation and criminalisation of difference. I'd love to hear more about that.
Good question. The big issue I commonly encounter is the way the legal system sees addiction and substance use as choice and behaviour rather than an illness
@@shizgirl "Difference will be punished unless it can be exploited" - a basic principle of capitalism.
SF seagulls are not to be underestimated. A seagull once stole my friend's hot dog at the SF Zoo. It swooped down and hit the back of her head with its feet. While she was dazed, it ate the hot dog out of her hand.
They're terrifying
Awesome video! Love this content!
Weird thing isn’t it?
People 100 years ago: this is hell.
People today: SF tourist attraction nr1
This was interesting. Thanks for the historical info 😍
When I saw the video, I thought it said Azkaban! Loll Thank you for taking us along the trip!
Welcome welcome! I hope you have a fabulous trip and that we're treating you right. :)
Hello, Dr. Carthy! Big fan. Love this video and the rest. Have binged your REACTS videos. Would you consider doing the Malcolm In The Middle episode “Hal Grieves” ? (season 7 episode 14)
An incredibly popular show and that episode is definitely packed with ripe commentary from you. An episode that touched me a lot. Regardless, love your channel and am always happy to see you upload
My favourite video
very interesting, thanks for sharing.
Yay, San Francisco
Dr Elliott tours the world!
I've been there! 😜
Hope you enjoy your visit to the Bay Area 😊
You and tom scott should do a collab, would be an amazing video
Interesting comparison between the historic roles of Prisons and Psychiatric Asylums (and, of course, there has/is considerable overlap in those who were kept in such places); with the shift to Community Care/Rehabilitation I am reminded of the expression "there's no such thing as a free lunch" as you only have to walk the streets of central San Francisco (or most any comparable city) to find examples of how the problem as simply been shifted rather than effectively addressed.
While watching American Dad last night I thought that it would make for a great video if you reacted to it lol. The show is hysterical and absolutely ridiculous lol.
You really should take a look at Moon Knight. Overall the show is just typical Marvel stuff, but it builds towards the fifth episode 'Asylum', which is a heavy gut punch, looots to talk about :D
I like your jacket
Flashbacks to skating here on Tony Hawk ProSkater 4 on the game cube as a 10 year old.
Can you do bojack the view from half way down I know you really like bojack and so do i and it’s one of the best ep from bojack ever and I’ll love to see a breakdown from you
Hello from my neck of the woods!
It sucks living here but it really did used to be such an interesting city. Now it's only really interesting if you like seeing tech campuses, but some of the heart still remains
Not gonna lie, until your video, my dyslexic ass thought it was albatross not Alcatraz XD
Not repair pass mistakes -- upgrade images; the goal in the United State is still not about rehabilitation; you should visit an equivalent prisons which are state-run; and private prisons.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I heard somewhere that Alcatraz had a psychiatric wing in it for inmates who were mentally ill. Would that make it both a penitentiary AND an insane asylum?
I'm so annoyed that you were here and didn't even say hi, how rude... :p
