thanks for all that you do bro!!! like i said you have been a big inspiration to me and inspired me to start my own channel thanks for everything:) stay safe
When you were going through the medical files, i looked up the names (that i could clearly see) on facebook and most of them seem to be living a normal and happy life out of prison now. One of them recently actually made a post about how when he was in prison, the hurricane hit and he “lost everything” he owned. So sad that even the little things they had to their name was gone. At least they are out and happy!
it seems all there stuff may still be there judging by parts of this video. It'd be nice to hear if one of those ex-inmates watched this video and were able to locate some of there belongings
I live in New Orleans. I got some history for you. Prisoners were left there when the storm hit. Once waters hit chest high, they were evacuated to one of the highways that was above water. The inmates were without food and water for days. Your in the abandoned OPP. Several guards and officers were charged for their actions.
I work in a state prison in California. The room you thought was a classroom was most likely the Law Library where inmates could go research while trying to fight their case or file for an appeal. The cuffs you found were leg irons for securing the ankles of inmates. I wish our prison had a dental clinic the size of that one, that thing was huge in comparison! The orifice scanner was interesting, we use body scanners like airports use when checking for contraband.
Omg Kathrine Josh is hot isn't he 😍 I like a man who lives a wild life going to explore places with his freinds. Josh has a total badboy personality mixed with the popular boy every one drools over🤤.
with hurricane katrina they had to leave quickly and katrina was 2008? correct me if im wrong, but i'm pretty sure that's a long enough term for them to be forgotten and irrelevant.
i think it was more making the connection to who it was that was stuck there, that he realized and remembered that specific story, but funny nonetheless lmao
That name that was on the window in the weight room "Capt Ditta" was a guy who was involved with organised crime in New Orleans. He was caught in 2008 and forced to resign but seems to have avoided criminal charges.
Josh..... I’ve literally been binge watching all of your videos. I can see how you have grown as a videographer! You really are growing in your work! Keep going..... it’s crazy to see how many subs you have now! My dad use to take me to abandoned buildings when I was growing up. It’s in my blood! Btw I hope my binge watching has helped your Adsense out! The large metal thing on the roof looks like a air condenser unit for the AC and heater maybe. The handcuffs were ankle cuffs, I dunno what that crazy ass chair was.
Josh, a few interesting things about this prison: Some prisoners actually died here because they were abandoned due to hurricane Katrina flooding the lower levels. The HELP ME message was probably written by some prisoners who managed to escape to the roof.
Another good video Josh, thank you for the good photography, the lighting was perfect. This video reminded me of when I worked in Maximum Security for The Mental Hospital thanks for the memories. .. it's just what the Dr prescribed, this video. When I worked with different medications I didnt have those cardboard medication card, OMG I Wish ... Rise Above for entertaining us with during this COVID 19 crap. Peace out from me in Vt.... I need a face mask please, I already wear the Rise bandana.
This was awesome! This is the old exploring vibe meets the higher quality cinematics of how you've grown on this platform. Much love and respect to ya Josh.
Prisons always make me so sad cause of how many people waste their lives away in there when they really just needed mental help or a family/friends that didn't encourage the bad decisions they made.
Im from louisiana and I use to live out there and I just wanted to let you know even though Katrina happened years ago people are still recovering from the hurricane and still going through the pain
That first room im pretty sure was for storing extra beds. My dad worked in the prison system and he said they woukd never ever keep that many inmates bunking together
''I needed money of my own so I started slanging I ain't guilty cause, even though I sell rocks It feels good putting money in your mailbox.'' It is a line from Tupac Shakur - Dear Mama. The bit above that line I have no idea from where it comes from it wasn't from Dear Mama.
@@lauragadille3384 he is not a healthcare provider or employee, therefore he is not read into or held responsible under HIPAA. It would be the docs that left the records unsecure held responsible. Also, its HIPAA. If you dont even know how to spell the acronym, do everyone a favor and stop trying to give legal advice surrounding it.
Um when katrina hit the Levy's broke and that was so unexpected soooooo many had no time to evacuate. I'm sure a lot of prisoners couldn't be moved in time. What a devastating storm
I love how yall always find explores with stuff still inside like a time capsule stuck in time I think it's amazing the work yall do it's interest never boaring always something toget excited over spooky hidden rooms ,cool historical architecture, good variety mansions,houses, businesses abandon unknown territory kinda brave" haunted " ect this channel is my buzz! All is love high on life Dream Team B!
wow. another cool video. amazes me the way we can build something, and then mother nature can find a way to destroy it. but then it gives you something to film for posterity. keep up the good work
I always enjoy your videos, I have always loved photography and cinematography. Me and my boyfriend have thought about going exploring since we both watch your channel. Keep up the good work Josh
Hey Josh! You might never see this but I love your videos. There is a very cool place in Crete, Greece, an entire village that was abandoned called Kalami. About 600 residents used to live there, so there is A LOT to cover if you decide to go. It's very picturesque with stone walls, etc. Was abandoned by the 60s simply because the residents wanted to look for a better life, I don't know too much about the history but it looks amazing and I'll be going there soon. Peace
I have a love/hate relationship with your videos. On one hand, I can explore new places through your videos, but on the other hand, the explorer in me wants a chance to do it myself. So, you could say I'm jealous of the opportunities you get to visit these places. Much love to you and your channel, man. Thanks for the gold content!
Those pills that are in the packs are called "Webster packs..." Pills easy to give out as they are already pre packaged with the days and times on the packs so it makes it impossible to make medication errors..☺💊💊
Hi Josh, just in case you still don't know, the B.O.S.S chair was/is a body cavity scanner to scan inmates to see if they're smuggling anything inside them :)
Every week you post a video it makes my day because I'm always waiting for you to post a video and no matter what it always makes my day thanks you 🙏❤️❤️🙏
Josh what the heck you doing all the way in New Orleans? There’s a lock down and New Orleans was really bad . Please come back home to Massachusetts before you get the virus. Very interesting video , watched in on TV for days . Devastating. Be safe Josh ! Love ❤️ from Massachusetts.
They used this jail after Hurricane Katrina until 2012. That is when they open the new jail. Living here in New Orleans I can remember back in 2009 when guards was letting inmates out at night partying on Bourbon St.. Drugs and alcohol was allowed in by guards. It was over packed with up to 6 to 10 inmates in each cell, some sleeping on the floor. They just let this place go and did not do anything with it. There was some other jails on the side of the one you was in by the interstate that was torn down to build the new one. The old ones by the interstate is where the prisoners died.
Josh, the huge thing on the roof that you said you had no idea what it was, it’s an industrial chiller. That is what provided the Air Conditioning for the entire building.
Hi correctional officer here. Those pills are called KOP(keep on person) and the inmates keep them with them and makes it easier for them to take by themselves.
if you like the clothes im wearing in my video you can get them here!

When is the next ghost video?
please restock the anime girl t-shirt! :'(
Pla mentions you visit places names....
@@ff271emt I remember that Jim.
When you were going through the medical files, i looked up the names (that i could clearly see) on facebook and most of them seem to be living a normal and happy life out of prison now. One of them recently actually made a post about how when he was in prison, the hurricane hit and he “lost everything” he owned. So sad that even the little things they had to their name was gone. At least they are out and happy!
Brittany Scott that’s insane
which guy did you look up to find that post about how he lost everything
it seems all there stuff may still be there judging by parts of this video. It'd be nice to hear if one of those ex-inmates watched this video and were able to locate some of there belongings
The fact that he didn’t blur all of the names out makes me lose a huge amount of respect for Josh, bit ridiculous, honestly.
You should have hit him up and told home about this vid
Big boss is a chair that scans visitors(or inmates) for weapons and contraband objects.
Yep. It's designed to scan orifices.
This is the comment I've been looking for! Thank you ❤
(B)ody (O)rifice (S)canner
@@shrimpybraincell8805 same
Thanks!! I was actually curious about the chair and the name 😂!
I live in New Orleans. I got some history for you. Prisoners were left there when the storm hit. Once waters hit chest high, they were evacuated to one of the highways that was above water. The inmates were without food and water for days. Your in the abandoned OPP. Several guards and officers were charged for their actions.
Breanna Charbonnet so part of the prison is still open? I was trying to find articles and can’t find anything on the abandoned part
@@pb9395 it made local news. Here on youtube look up Hurricane Katrina New Orleans. The prisoners were seen by helicopter.
Yeah i read about this. Apparently some inmates died from exposure etc
Breanna Charbonnet I remember watching that on T V . That whole thing was a night mare that went on forever .
Breanna Charbonnet do you know where it is? I have lived here for acouple years and love exploring but haven’t heard of this one
Another place of exploring is Squire's Castle. Like so josh can see.
Btw those cuffs are ankle cuffs
Devin I live 15 min from it
That wouldn’t make for a good video. I’ve been. There’s not much to see plus it’s always crowded
Nick Palmer yeah true, it’s just a structure, I mean you could prob make a short doc out of it but nothing to really explore
Squire's in Willighby Hills? Or a proper Castle?
I work in a state prison in California. The room you thought was a classroom was most likely the Law Library where inmates could go research while trying to fight their case or file for an appeal.

You gotta love the writ writers. I worked as CO in Max Unit in TX no heat no AC tough.
For being abandoned for 15 years minus the water damage this prison is mint.
I just realised that! Wow, time flies!
Omg Kathrine Josh is hot isn't he 😍 I like a man who lives a wild life going to explore places with his freinds. Josh has a total badboy personality mixed with the popular boy every one drools over🤤.
Justin Haffner tf
I'm surprised the state don't get in trouble for leaving all that medical info thats a huge violation
with hurricane katrina they had to leave quickly and katrina was 2008? correct me if im wrong, but i'm pretty sure that's a long enough term for them to be forgotten and irrelevant.
Plus if you know the past the officers/guards were charged with negligence.
2005*
I thought the same thing haha patient confidentiality gone out the window 😛
"One of the most Uniquess prisons ever!" Gotta love Josh when he gets excited!
You have to go to an abandoned airport, that would be epic, I'm sure there is one somewhere.
I feel uncomfortable when he touches things with bare hands lol
And comments about how theyres so much black mold yet doesnt wear a mask
the big boss chair is for security to scan cavity’s in the body to make sure you’re not sneaking anything in😭
littlexviolence someone knows how to use google lol
"he really notices the little stuff like this"
*points to massive letters
😂😂😂🤣😂
That was cringe
Gabe Strauss it’s true he does, but that was a pretty bad example 😂😂
Lmao
i think it was more making the connection to who it was that was stuck there, that he realized and remembered that specific story, but funny nonetheless lmao
Just received my first Rise Above T-shirt recently and I LOVE IT THANK YOU GUYS!!
its sad knowing that people were stuck there during hurricane katrina
That name that was on the window in the weight room "Capt Ditta" was a guy who was involved with organised crime in New Orleans. He was caught in 2008 and forced to resign but seems to have avoided criminal charges.
Binge watching this channel on a rainy day is so relaxing!
Can definitely tell you’re a photographer/ photographic artist. Because you get some amazing shots with the lighting and shadows. Great work always
Thank you!
The fact that you can get locked in is actually terrifying
Especially if you’re on your own and no signal
The chair " the big boss" I believe is an xray machine or metal detector for your insides
Ty !!!!
Josh..... I’ve literally been binge watching all of your videos. I can see how you have grown as a videographer! You really are growing in your work!

watching now so glad to watch these you are a big inspiration why i started my channel just wanted to say thanks :)
I love Josh's videos!! i will check out your channel when i finish this video
BEAUTIFUL
love your video bro another great one down in the book of josh lol :)
This was awesome! This is the old exploring vibe meets the higher quality cinematics of how you've grown on this platform. Much love and respect to ya Josh.
Sick video! So glad you got content for us to watch thru this quarantine. Greatly appreciated! Keep up the amazing work Bro
Prisons always make me so sad cause of how many people waste their lives away in there when they really just needed mental help or a family/friends that didn't encourage the bad decisions they made.
Kira Bleu this is the most naive comment I have ever read.
Yes I’m sure the kiddie rapists need a shoulder to cry on 🤐
"The prisoners thought we were all planning to leave them to die locked in there, and I can't say I blamed them
for thinking that."
Surprisingly no one has said this but the "shoes" were boots for sprained feet/broken toes
Im from louisiana and I use to live out there and I just wanted to let you know even though Katrina happened years ago people are still recovering from the hurricane and still going through the pain
I'm guessing that the first cell he saw is probably for those that are in holding for a couple days instead of months or years
Yeah, they were probably used for inmates awaiting their trial.
First video that I watched without adds in the beginning.
get ad block (for chrome) if you're watching it on your laptop
Just wow. Imagine all the stuff that went down in there
Josh thank you again, you look so exhausted though! Stay safe, rise above, I love watching all your explore videos!
The “big boss” chair is for sitting an inmate on one and seeing if they’re carrying any weapons, they’re veryyy expensive
That first room im pretty sure was for storing extra beds. My dad worked in the prison system and he said they woukd never ever keep that many inmates bunking together
''I needed money of my own so I started slanging I ain't guilty cause, even though I sell rocks It feels good putting money in your mailbox.''

The bit above that line I have no idea from where it comes from it wasn't from Dear Mama.
You are legit my favorite explorer! Obsessed with your videos
I'm surprised you haven't had to blur the names in the medical documents.
He could actually get sued, violation in HIPPA
Those files should have been moved when the prison closed. Them being there, to this day from 2005, really shows the neglect the prison went through
@@lauragadille3384 he is not a healthcare provider or employee, therefore he is not read into or held responsible under HIPAA. It would be the docs that left the records unsecure held responsible.

The beds aren't social distancing
Ur comment really had me dying for some reason lol
@@devin1764 youare hot girl
Jani Chef she’s like 15 you pervert. Plus I ain’t never heard of anyone hooking up from the comments section of you tube 😂.
Like a Boss nah I’m 21 lol. But yea honestly never seen someone get hit on in the comments section before lol. Apparently I was the first lol😬
Jani Chef WTF 💀
You're living my dream! It's cool to see you grow through the years. Great find♥️♥️♥️
Um when katrina hit the Levy's broke and that was so unexpected soooooo many had no time to evacuate. I'm sure a lot of prisoners couldn't be moved in time. What a devastating storm
They didn't even try. Google the story. Some guards came back to let the prisoners out when the others evacuated prior.
I love how yall always find explores with stuff still inside like a time capsule stuck in time I think it's amazing the work yall do it's interest never boaring always something toget excited over spooky hidden rooms ,cool historical architecture, good variety mansions,houses, businesses abandon unknown territory kinda brave" haunted " ect this channel is my buzz! All is love high on life Dream Team B!
If the door was closed on the roof it would’ve said “help food” “4 days”
How could they not notice
It said help need food but need was mostly faded away
Then again... the other guy says Josh pays attention to small details 😂😂
The B.O.S.S. chair that you found is used for detecting metallic objects from the prisoners when they sit on the chair.
Being in an abandoned place and thinking of the historical footprint it possesses is amazing!🤯
"I think I can actually hear the roof" ... hahaha love ya Josh!!
Thanks for remembering all of us RADtechs! Very cool
wow. another cool video. amazes me the way we can build something, and then mother nature can find a way to destroy it. but then it gives you something to film for posterity. keep up the good work
Always enjoy going on these adventure Bro. RISE ABOVE ✊
I always enjoy your videos, I have always loved photography and cinematography. Me and my boyfriend have thought about going exploring since we both watch your channel. Keep up the good work Josh
19:26 A lyric from “Dear Mama” by 2Pac. If anyone was wondering.
you think you can book a tour at NM state penitentiary where the riot took place in 1980 ?
I can imagine the fights that went down in the big prison cells.

Hands down The Conjuring video was the best! I need more of that
Really interesting video. Scared me a couple of times. Shame about the rooftop message. Have a great weekend 👍😁
very cool! but such a sad place, hurricane katrina took and changed a lot of lives ty for letting me see the prison stay safe josh ......
I can tell bro you are a photographer at heart. Awesome video as usual. Interesting. Thank you again. No.1
"Most uniquest prisons" then you know its unique....
But he said uniquest lol
Josh talks with the vocabulary and grammar of a four year old.
"I think this are fake false teeth"
It's always a great pleasure watching your videos Josh.. Be safe😊
Josh I love your channel sm and I love you sm , stay strong and stay save ♥️
When he found the keys it was like I was playing resident evil or something 🤣
2:12 when you try to hit the Juul for the first time.
dude this is actually an awesome video, great footage man amazing vibes
Miss the old exploring with josh when he would go alone and give dope commentary. Just saying
I don't know... I don't know... This is the guard... No clue... #samesame
Britches got to big
I hate it to
It's kinda dangerous to go alone though, it might be more entertaining for you but its more deadly for him.
He is taking a risk shooting these videos. Definitely not something everyone could do.
Those pills that are in the packs are called "Webster packs..." Pills easy to give out as they are already pre packaged with the days and times on the packs so it makes it impossible to make medication errors..☺💊💊
Lyrics of dear mama by 2Pac are on the wall 👌🏻👌🏻
"infamous" not "famous" people "staying" there. I hope that Josh is staying safe and adhering to the lock down measures. Another fun episode.
I believe all the videos we've been getting are backlogs, he streams games rn on another channel
My daughter 4, asks me why you love these scary places lol
Really loved this explore!
Best prison explore on TH-cam! Thanks for the video :)
I love all your videos Josh! They're awesome! Thank you for making them!
Hi Josh, just in case you still don't know, the B.O.S.S chair was/is a body cavity scanner to scan inmates to see if they're smuggling anything inside them :)
Cool. This is awesome..
Cant belivie the stuff left.
Looks like they tried to pack up everything.
Every week you post a video it makes my day because I'm always waiting for you to post a video and no matter what it always makes my day thanks you 🙏❤️❤️🙏
Josh what the heck you doing all the way in New Orleans? There’s a lock down and New Orleans was really bad . Please come back home to Massachusetts before you get the virus. Very interesting video , watched in on TV for days . Devastating. Be safe Josh ! Love ❤️ from Massachusetts.

Thanks for the tour .
Hello Josh!!🙂🙂 Watching from Texas!!🙂🙂 Wow great video!!👍👍 Blessings to u and take care!!🙏🙏🌷🌷
Josh, the huge thing on the roof that you said you had no idea what it was, it’s an industrial chiller. That is what provided the Air Conditioning for the entire building.
I saw no extraction? Please explain Josh?
Wow another amazing place mate. This is crazy. 💪👍
Wait did he shout out a dentist chair?😂
Wow! Wow!! Kid. Awesome vlog. Its It'sIts good to see you again. Peace ✌🇺🇸😎💞
That chair is a metal detector in case there is people with phones etc in there butts, :-)
9:05 that’s how my medication looked like when I was in rehab everyone’s meds looked like that usually it says what it is at the top
I just got out of jail and it looked exactly like that place
What were you in for?
Know the feeling
Great video keep up the good work sending alot of love your way
Really enjoyed this video. Learned a lot from the comments. Thank you
You are so close to 4 mill man awesome job!
Great video,Was very interesting but also sad..To think that the prisoners could have been trapped during Hurricane Katrina.....

Oh i see thanks for the info
@@lucypetty4692 yes they do. Just not pills they could trade or sell. No narcotics.
