As a kid in the foster system, mostly homeless and on the streets, I was in and out of the juvenile system. I caught my first charge at the age of 9 years old and it was downhill from there. I was lucky enough that none of my charges carried over as an adult. But as soon as I was about to turn 18, I did everything I could to get my act together. Finally turned 18, got a job, my own place, and kept my head down and kept trucking. Haven’t been in trouble since. I feel bad for a lot of these kids…I hope they are able to find inner peace and realize that things can be better. Good luck youngens.
I felt so sad when the officer said “you’re a grown man, you have to control your anger”. He’s not a grown man, he’s just a kid. A kid with a troubled life. I hope things get better for him
He said he was 19 years old. He keeps it up, they'll pop him over to a big boy prison where he can really see where his attitude gets him. He's lucky to be where he is at 19.
You are right! He still is a kid. But the officer wanted to help hin without knowing how. That is the problem. I wished, this kid were in an swiss or scandinavian prison. They are much better and more human. By the way this nurse is very important for these Kids
I really appreciate the questions the lady behind the camera asks those kids. Those are not "look down questions", not patronizing ones, just questions from someone who really cares and wants to understand.
My heart is for broken teenager. I worked in a high school for 6 years, I loved every minute of it. One student told in that he looked forward to coming to lunch because there was no pressure. And we could joke around together. Yes I was the lunch lady manager. I alway treated them with respect. Because you never knew what they were going through at home, with a girlfriend or boyfriend or even a step parent. I loved all my students. We started out with about 50 to 75 students & when I left we were up to 300 to 350.
Well, if he's 19, been in prison for 4 years and has a 4 year old daughter, then SOMEONE cared about him back when he was like 14! He may act like a little boy, but he sure acted like a grown man when he was 14.
@Animal Lover I couldn't agree with you more! Which is why I am dead set AGAINST trying kids as adults and throwing them in prisons! Their brains, specifically the frontal cortex which gives us reasoning, logic and following things through to a conclusion is nowhere near formed yet. Thank God the Supreme Court ruled that kids can't be given life sentences as it violates the 8th Amendment for this very reason. Kids need either mental hospitals if they suffer from some kind of mental illness which led to or was a factor in the crime and juvenile facilities where they can receive school as well as therapy to help them as most kids CAN be rehabilitated as their brain is still growing. My comment was strictly an opposing view to the OP's comment that no one cared about him. If he fathered a child, someone had to care about him at SOME point, right?

This breaks my heart 😔 even though he is in prison I am happy that you can tell the staff actually care about him instead of treating him like a number. It kinda broke my heart when he said he is a grown man. He is only 19… 🤦🏻♀️ like if he had the proper role models in life and people helping him maybe he would be mature like a “grow man” but he didn’t he is still a kid… 🤦🏻♀️
In '89 I was placed in juvie because I kept running away. I first ran from my abusive family, 3 times they tried to make me go home and after the 3rd time I stopped trusting the system to help. Nobody believed my dad raped me, starved, and beat me. When I ended up in juvie I was broken, and I kept acting up to express my pain. I feel sorry for the staff now. I was horrible, but I hurt so bad I couldn't help it. It took tons of therapy and medication to get me where I am 30 years later. Some of these kids are broken, they need love even when they don't want it. They need somebody to believe them, and believe in them. The pain is real. Today though it's been 30 years I still wake in a cold sweat, afraid. And I see red everytime a kid dies, or is irrevocably damaged because the system ignores them.
I have been able to find a slight update on Jacob, for those who are interested. He was incarcerated sometime in 2017 for a charge related to traffic, as well as a charge relating to meth. He also had another for public intimidation. I am assuming he got out because he had posted some stuff on Facebook around 2018. Unfortunately, in 2021, he was caught trying to meet a 15 year old for sex. He would’ve been around 31 at this time. It is unclear whether he got incarcerated for this or not. He was caught by a TH-cam group and not law enforcement officials, so it is very much possible he could have gotten away with it. Since he was not pursued by law enforcement, i can neither confirm or deny the credibility of this accusation. The most recent activity I have found from him was from February 2022. It seems he is no longer in jail, but still struggling with drugs. I hope he is able to get some help. I am in no means defending his actions, especially the one regarding the 15 year old, but it is incredibly sad to see where he is now. He had absolutely no support in life from the very beginning. It seems it is still that way. He needs help; he needs support, and he needs someone that can lead him down the right path. Jacob is a troubled man, he was troubled as a kid thanks to his shitty parents, and he will remain troubled unless there is someone who is willing to help him. I wish I could go back to 2007 and help this young man. He needed someone to give him confidence and help him get his life together yet no one showed. I don’t want to hear ‘he could have done this himself’ or ‘he makes his own decisions’... he doesn’t KNOW HOW to make those decisions, because no one was present to help him learn good vs bad. This man needs someone. Immediately.
Amen, he.didnt have a fair shot in life, some people somehow seem to find mental stability, he didnt. We have yo ask ourselves where would we be with such a background ?
I lived a life resembling some of these quality’s that get these kids in trouble. No I was no where near 90% as bad as this but I made mistakes we all make mistakes. Situations and circumstances like what the kid is going through break my heart. This is the reason why I want to be a youth motivational speaker.
You should do it I don't know you or your personal experiences that you have had,but if you do this as something you love it will make all the difference to helping our youth today.
I remember being in the juvenile system. It hurts you a lot more than helping you. Many of the kids including myself didn’t realize what I was doing and how I was acting wasn’t right, while many of us didn’t have home lives that made us care whether we were in jail or not while the probation and juvie system wouldn’t help and only try to keep you locked up and mad af
Yes it absolutely does!!! It sets kids up for failure or prison. Institutionalizing kids is torture. Locking them in cells should not even happen, it literally helps nobody and makes them worse. Their brewing can not cope with being in a cell like that. I know I couldn’t. It’s physically torturous too. Not to mention how freezing cold it is w only a nasty wool blanket to try to stay warm and sleep w lights blaring in your eyes 24/7.
So sad to hear your sadness and truth about the system 😨😭most of all it's so sad to hear a child say that their parents who are supposed to be taking care of them are the ones that drove them to the juvenile system. I am also a product of such parents, my thought, on the matter they shouldn't have kids. My mother had 6 boys 4 girls all different fathers just to give you an example. None of my stepsisters speaks to me, because they all turned out to be like our mother promiscuous. There is a saying "you can choose your friends but not your family." There is also a say in life one can change their destiny the choice is there success is a battle between you and yourself. Don't allow ppl to take away from you the opportunity or choice to change your destiny. I did you can do it also. I wish you all the best and if you need a friend to write to or talk to feel free. Wishing you 12 months of happiness in the 2022 walk-in faith. Stay safe and blessed
The juvenile justice system is definitely a business. The more kids they can keep locked up the more money the system receives. This translates to higher salaries and more overtime. It's pathetic and wrong...
This here is another form of our business of law enforcement! One thing we’re faced with in these settings is the unpredictable mind of a youth or child. These kids need to be paid attention to and to get help with healing. These kids need to be loved and to know that they have value.
He said he had a 4 year old daughter. She'd be 18 now. A year younger than he was here. I wonder how SHE turned out? Well, at least we know ONE woman who didn't 'fail him at such a young age' because by MY calculations, he was like 14 when he got her preggers!
This poor child brings heartfelt tears. He just needs to control his temper as all the people he comes across are going to tell him what to do. He cannot take off at them. He has been sent to so many places and witnessed lots of wrong conduct. He needs to be shown love not incarceration.
The 'poor child' boofed some chick when he was 14 and had a daughter after he was sent up who is now 18. Apparently, his temper and wrong conduct were not an issue THEN! AND he said he plans to marry her when he gets out! So SOMEONE sure loved him. Now look at ME as a comparison. I'm in my 50's, college educated, NEVER been to jail and I'm STILL waiting for someone. He had HIS at 14!
Bounced from home to home, treated like garbage, abused, then thrown into a jail because they aren’t raised right with no intensive psychiatric treatment or care…and people wonder why these kids can’t control themselves!? What do people expect? You see people get a hard time for rehoming their dog because it’s traumatic and yet how many kids are out there just being treated like trash every day?
Don't they realize this kid has been forced into institutionalization ALL HIS F*ING LIFE...?! Why treat him like some hardened criminal. Any aggressive behavior is just his way of pushing back for some kind of independence. He had no freedom, no place to go, to friends to visit, no job or school to go to, no relatives to visit, not car to drive, no place to just hang out and think. My god! Anyone would go nuts being treated like this from childhood on.
I worked at a detention center and an industrial school for boys. I never had to cuff a child nor did they wear uniforms. They wore their own clothing. The institutions should change their ways in dealing with children. I don't think they should be like prisons for adults.
They used to let them wear your own shoes but kids were extorted all the time so they stopped. I was locked up here all most 20 years ago for 2 years. Changed my life i tell you that.
@big flipji - sad for sure. He was a good kid, he just had so much trauma in his life as a child. A lot to try to overcome at such a young age. Thanks for watching and commenting.
It’s not always their fault, my mother was a narcissistic alcoholic and would say I was “unruly” to get me locked up so she could do what she wanted. I am 40 now and I’m still angry and damaged from it. I still have nightmares about these places.
@@CalamariProductions it sad to see this but I understand they did wrong so they have to pay the time. But there so young and have a whole life ahead of them.
More amazing parents don’t raise good kids. To many parents want to be friends with kids and not parents. I was on my own at 14 my home life was horrible everything you can imagine. The past don’t need to control you. I got married at 18. My wife and I have a great life. I was lucky I found her but no one has to let the bad childhood dictate your path in life.
@nonya biz - glad you have a good life. Always good to hear when childhood has been traumatic. Some kids find it harder to overcome than others. People like you help others realize there can be a light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for watching.
Man the guy nurse has a attitude problem just look at him when the sergeant walks the boy over to medical the guy nurses attitude towards the boy shows that he isnt happy with the boy 19:45
So Sad to see young kid's like this with the issues they have . The help he needs should have started a long time ago. Had he have got the help younger and positive role models in his life he may not be where he is now. I hope he get's the help he needs and don't end up in prison He is young and you can tell there is a good guy in there . Like the nurse said One on One time he needs that Bless that nurse that she understands that .Jacob is blessed to have Alana the nurse where he is at
@Keith Martz -- you are very right. Help earlier vs. later can make all the difference. Untreated trauma can lead to more trauma later in life. Some kids are able to emerge and live happy lives, while others continue to struggle. It's all very individual. Thank you for commenting.
That first kid in the lockdown cell has been treated so well! In an adult jail or prison, anyone who even remotely hurts themselves is stripped down and put in a suicide pod with no blanket, bed, or anything to keep warm. Our justice system is so fucking terrible.
I just wonder what has happened to Jacob now. He would be 32. He is a handsome, kind, funny and intelligent boy who with the right parenting I think could we have been outstanding. Imagine his father trying to kill him at 3. His whole life was just being shuffled from place to place. Loved the nurse too.
I can imagine his father trying to kill him at 3. I can even imagine his mother stabbing her next hubbie 40 some odd times in the back. What I'm trying to imagine is him boofing at age 14 and having a daughter! One thing is for sure. He stopped being 'shuffled' long enough for THAT and someone sure did care about the handsome, funny and intelligent boy at SOME point. By the by, just HOW intelligent is it to be boofing and having kids when you're only 14?
I just cry when I see this. Those children must have had some hard times to get the way they are and do the things they do. I had a life like theirs only I was saved by a police man and nuns who raised me from the age of 9 to 16. I worked with children to try to make a difference in their lives on several occasions. 50 years ago the children we had were runaways, thefts, and prostitution. Very few were heavy drug users. I see a big difference from then to now. They commit more serious crimes now. God please save the children.
With this prison being in my hometown of Pendleton, Indiana, I’m just terrified about something happening to me next (even though I have problems myself but have never been in this facility)
The women responsible for calming down the patient by telling him to calm down and not hurt himself, through a closed door, is anything but protocol. By the looks of their lack of physical well-being I don't think much good can happen. The young man was in crisis and should have been properly attended. Unfortunately he was left to deal with problem alone. My heart breaks for those young children The staff needing somewhere to go did to that young man what everyone in his life has done...left him when he needed them the most. This is unacceptable.. One does not stand outside the door and think that everything will be alright saying "don't hurt yourself. That young man is in dire straights at that facility. By looking at the faculty, with the amount of extremely over weight people protocol seems to be thrown out the door. Having said that, I honestly believe their hearts are in the right place. But remember. the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
I hope he has gotten things together and stayed out of trouble. He's been let down on many levels from nearly the start it sounds like...very heartbreaking. I see in your update you couldnt find out what his situation is now but i do hope you will keep trying to locate info. Hopefully he has become a great dad to his daughter:-)
I love these stories by Calamari and have been binge watching all week. I especially like to know how these kids are doing now and love the updates provided by Calamari...I saw on Jacob's story part one there was his charges for intimidation in 2017. I did a little research, and it is kind of outdated, but I was able to find some more regarding Jacob in 2017. * Jacob E. Mathis-Shauntee, 28, 1305 S. Monon Drive, arrested Wednesday by Bloomington police on preliminary charges of criminal mischief and intimidation; booked into the Monroe County Jail at 11:12 p.m. Bond set at $10,500. * Jacob Mathis-Shauntee, 28, Bloomington, Level 6 possession of methamphetamine, Class C misdemeanor possession of paraphernalia Its very upsetting and I truly hope he's doing better now.
@pja3757 - THANK YOU! We love that viewers like you are invested enough in our videos to look into additional updates. We have found over the years that it's sometimes impossible to keep the updates timely. It can sometimes change monthly! So thank you for watching and posting. We appreciate you!
I like how staff handled him. Prayers to all. He is a smart young man. Dont let them break you. The system is fucked up. Don't hurt yourself outsmart them bitches!!
My heart goes out these boys they need understanding therapy u pray that being in juvenile gives them the path to straighten out alot of them nevef had foundation of famiily love nuture they turn to gangs u do a wonderful job of of this going into tbe juvuie priisons u are my favorite channel i would like to c videos of young girls have babies in juvie keep up the excelkent work u do
@Cynthia david - Thank you for your nice words. We are extremely grateful for viewers like you who appreciate our content. It's sometimes tough to watch but still important to see what kids are dealing with. Thanks for being with us!
I was here as a kid pendelton juvenile correctional facility back in 2013 for 2 years it’s not as wild as it was then but it wild seeing the same exact shit the same exact place same shit going on almost 10 years later
It a mental health systems that fail all people i know cuz i was failed with anxiety and all! I cant get help!!! It sad but these videos show it all and it shows with adults too.
Such things are nearly impossible in Western Europe or in Scandinavia. I am ready shocked. This system is not right and good. Many kids nowadays have problems with our society and agression. They all need psychological treatment. And we großen ups have to ask theirself: What are the reasons for my daughter's or son's problems?
I was extremely similar to the kid in the beginning. I did the exact same things as him. Almost looks like I'm watching my younger self in a mirror. I'm doing much better now. It's pretty much only a memory now, and has 0 effect on me. I guess I got lucky the trauma didn't stay with me in my adult hood. Hope he got equally lucky...
These kids need therapy and someone that loves them.. Lockin them up does no good, it only perpetuates a criminal justice system that's a failure failure failure...
You're kidding me right? He speaks well and is intelligent? He talks like he's on speed. And he's a nervous wreck. And a lot of what he says is nonsensical gibberish!
Gonna baby a 19 year old? He's in PRISON for a reason. Send him to the adult side where he belongs I bet he get checked real quick. They're treating him like he's in school
a man is not defined by age or build it’s defined by the way you think. this poor kid hasn’t had a chance to grow up into his own man bc the justice system probrably has been walking on his face for nearly his whole life. i hope he gets out and takes everychance he’s presented to make something amazing.
I’m surprised that the 18-18 yr olds still in juvenile detention- Texas after 17yo if they continue to act this way either sent to MH detention or waved over to adult jail- the danger is real
Parents you can not be your child’s friend you need to teach right and wrong, love them and set a good example or do not have children, they deserve better.
I was in their shoes. Forever a changed man. Some for good. But mostly bad. I hope they get their shit straight.. it ain’t worth it man. It’s rough now.
This young man looks like my brother in law. Someone please just get him help! He is stuck at age 3, he needs help!also enroll at a modeling agency, you have the right bone structure!!
I worked in the foster care system with teenage boy 15+ as a mentor. So Actually a bipolar mentor. These kids are forced to "the adult". They're not. To begin with they really haven't cognitively reach an adult thought process and mindset. That has been retarded by life circumstances including education, self safety and surrounding safety, lack of role models and more. For my job I was responsible for helping them find ways to deal with life stressors. Like talk about their dad's suicide, bullying at school, or what's going on at their foster by home. They could talk about anything with me a I wouldn't judge. Their words were safe with me unless they were a danger to themselves or others. I take the to parades very early so they learned patience and how to find something legal to keep busy. I would take them camping to challenge them. I would help the come up with idea for paying back restitution. Involved myself in their lives by attend events that I were important to them like log rolling a trip for pizza after he read the book list. Or the several boys going camping find the marshmallow forks I will and I will bring the marshmallow. I teach them and and have y
This doesn't look that bad compared to what being raised by abusive parents is like. Here at least there's a sense of justice, and the people running the place are accountable to some degree.
Gotta agree with you living with abuse as a kid you have NO control. I would venture to say that is how the large majority of these kids end up here... coming from abusive homes
He probably never rcvd counseling at the age of 3 after the dad tried to kill him, and it got worst wth his mom and her drug lifestyle. No one provided services or she was just unfit and now he's a troubled teen. No place can handle these kids or young adults
He might be of legal age but he's not a grown man. He's still a kid. I am glad they were all caring enough to calmly handle the situation and the kid didn't end up severely hurt.
*Emotions are temporary, the consequences of them are not* "When Jacob felt things were unfair" the description says.... sometimes its not about unfair, it's about screws not calling out the prisoner when you know that you cannot fight them, yet you know you are protected and they can do nothing about it 🤷🏻♀That's not just unfair, its unjust! Not all these kids are mad, crazy, unreliable, bad people.... as kids society let them down, straight after their parents did! We don't all take the same path, but that's the point! 🤦🏻♀
You expect perfection from people inhabiting "society" are broken also...by sin. It's not the "societies" job to make people better . It's all in our mindset and our personal responsibility. This young man needs Jesus just like we all do
These kids need resources for rehabilitation and integration back into society. These kids do not have control over anything that has been done to them. It’s due to their adverse childhood experiences that they are the way they are they need treatment not jail they respond the only way they know how and that’s to protect themselves.
Why do ppl automatically assume that a young boy or man can’t express his emotions and has to “suck it up?” Let them express it!!!!! We’re humans, it’s not good to just keep sucking shit up.
i never went to juvie but my mom threatened to kill me when i was 16, i grew up in a hostile environment, my mom was quite the yeller, verbal assault, emotional assault, things were also tough at home, my parents fought a lot, and mom initiated the fights, they weren't physical but arguementative.
@debragoodman1582 - wow, that's intense. Sounds like you somehow made it through and found a life of your own despite the hostile environment. We hope our stories allow people to see they are not alone when it comes to childhood trauma. Appreciate you posting your story.
I believe kids will not get in a such horrible life when they have responsible , supportive loving parents. Mostly they are the ones lacking affection of their parents. IMy heart is broken watching this, I have a son who is far from this kid. He is active in sports, jolly even at times he feels sad because I divorced his father. We ramained as affectionate ang supportive parents even we are already divorced .
@Evolved Austin - it's been difficult tracking him down since filming with him. The last we heard he was arrested in2017 on charges of criminal mischief and intimidation. But as far as we can tell, he's not in prison. Thanks for watching.
Mi dispiace tanto per questo ragazzo. Spero tanto che le cose siano migliorate per lui. . In Italia le carceri sono quasi degli hotel al confronto. . Ci vorrebbe un pò di più disciplina. Mentre sarebbe che li da voi fossero un pò meno dure, specie per certe fasce di età e reati, perché il rischio di rovinare completamente dei giovani fondamentalmente non cattivi è molto alto. . Ciao from Venice italy 🙋
Telling someone who is extremely upset or in crisis to “calm down” is the most unhelpful thing
What's a helpful thing to say?
I don't agree, people need to control their self or learn how
Not necessarily wrong. By saying that, it gives a hot headed person who is about to commit violent act a guidance to redirect his thoughts.
Me personally when I had my first anxiety attack n the doctor talked to me about taking breaths, telling me I’m gonna b fine made me feel better.
And yet it worked.
As a kid in the foster system, mostly homeless and on the streets, I was in and out of the juvenile system. I caught my first charge at the age of 9 years old and it was downhill from there. I was lucky enough that none of my charges carried over as an adult. But as soon as I was about to turn 18, I did everything I could to get my act together. Finally turned 18, got a job, my own place, and kept my head down and kept trucking. Haven’t been in trouble since. I feel bad for a lot of these kids…I hope they are able to find inner peace and realize that things can be better. Good luck youngens.

I’m sorry you went through that I’m so glad things got better for you
I’m proud of you! God has a plan for you ! You can help the people who were once in your shoes !! Your a walking testimony!
I felt so sad when the officer said “you’re a grown man, you have to control your anger”. He’s not a grown man, he’s just a kid. A kid with a troubled life. I hope things get better for him
He said he was 19 years old. He keeps it up, they'll pop him over to a big boy prison where he can really see where his attitude gets him. He's lucky to be where he is at 19.
How old is he?
They are trying to break him. The young man is smart they hate that.
You are right! He still is a kid. But the officer wanted to help hin without knowing how. That is the problem. I wished, this kid were in an swiss or scandinavian prison. They are much better and more human. By the way this nurse is very important for these Kids
he is an adult
I really appreciate the questions the lady behind the camera asks those kids. Those are not "look down questions", not patronizing ones, just questions from someone who really cares and wants to understand.
I was thinking the same thing. Very good questions that weren’t patronizing or rude, but very informative.
My heart is for broken teenager. I worked in a high school for 6 years, I loved every minute of it. One student told in that he looked forward to coming to lunch because there was no pressure.

Awe I just want to give him a hug. What a broken young man. He is so angry and needs to be shown that someone cares about him and values him.
Well, if he's 19, been in prison for 4 years and has a 4 year old daughter, then SOMEONE cared about him back when he was like 14! He may act like a little boy, but he sure acted like a grown man when he was 14.
That little brat learned that actions have consequences.
Let him move in with you
I feel he’s trying to act tough and violent to seem like a dangerous grown man but the guards are literally babying him
@Animal Lover I couldn't agree with you more! Which is why I am dead set AGAINST trying kids as adults and throwing them in prisons! Their brains, specifically the frontal cortex which gives us reasoning, logic and following things through to a conclusion is nowhere near formed yet. Thank God the Supreme Court ruled that kids can't be given life sentences as it violates the 8th Amendment for this very reason. Kids need either mental hospitals if they suffer from some kind of mental illness which led to or was a factor in the crime and juvenile facilities where they can receive school as well as therapy to help them as most kids CAN be rehabilitated as their brain is still growing.
My comment was strictly an opposing view to the OP's comment that no one cared about him. If he fathered a child, someone had to care about him at SOME point, right?

Jacob is a troubled man, he was troubled as a kid thanks to his shitty parents, and he will remain troubled unless there is someone who is willing to help him. I wish I could go back to 2007 and help this young man. He needed someone to give him confidence and help him get his life together yet no one showed. I don’t want to hear ‘he could have done this himself’ or ‘he makes his own decisions’... he doesn’t KNOW HOW to make those decisions, because no one was present to help him learn good vs bad. This man needs someone. Immediately.
THANK YOU.

Amen, he.didnt have a fair shot in life, some people somehow seem to find mental stability, he didnt. We have yo ask ourselves where would we be with such a background ?
At some point he has to take responsibility for his own actions and stop blaming his past. He is 33 now and it is way beyond time to be an adult
I lived a life resembling some of these quality’s that get these kids in trouble. No I was no where near 90% as bad as this but I made mistakes we all make mistakes. Situations and circumstances like what the kid is going through break my heart. This is the reason why I want to be a youth motivational speaker.
Wonderful news! Best wishes and prayers as you impact these
young troubled lives!
Godbless u my man. My heart breaks for these kids. I ALWAYS say "u are a product of your inviroment"
You should do it I don't know you or your personal experiences that you have had,but if you do this as something you love it will make all the difference to helping our youth today.
I remember being in the juvenile system. It hurts you a lot more than helping you. Many of the kids including myself didn’t realize what I was doing and how I was acting wasn’t right, while many of us didn’t have home lives that made us care whether we were in jail or not while the probation and juvie system wouldn’t help and only try to keep you locked up and mad af
Yes it absolutely does!!! It sets kids up for failure or prison. Institutionalizing kids is torture. Locking them in cells should not even happen, it literally helps nobody and makes them worse. Their brewing can not cope with being in a cell like that. I know I couldn’t. It’s physically torturous too. Not to mention how freezing cold it is w only a nasty wool blanket to try to stay warm and sleep w lights blaring in your eyes 24/7.
So sad to hear your sadness and truth about the system 😨😭most of all it's so sad to hear a child say that their parents who are supposed to be taking care of them are the ones that drove them to the juvenile system.
I am also a product of such parents, my thought, on the matter they shouldn't have kids. My mother had 6 boys 4 girls all different fathers just to give you an example. None of my stepsisters speaks to me, because they all turned out to be like our mother promiscuous. There is a saying "you can choose your friends but not your family." There is also a say in life one can change their destiny the choice is there success is a battle between you and yourself.
Don't allow ppl to take away from you the opportunity or choice to change your destiny.
I did you can do it also.
I wish you all the best and if you need a friend to write to or talk to feel free. Wishing you 12 months of happiness in the 2022 walk-in faith. Stay safe and blessed
The juvenile justice system is definitely a business. The more kids they can keep locked up the more money the system receives. This translates to higher salaries and more overtime. It's pathetic and wrong...
The kid at the very beginning , trying to act like a big tough guy but he has tears in his eyes. He is hurting .
This here is another form of our business of law enforcement! One thing we’re faced with in these settings is the unpredictable mind of a youth or child. These kids need to be paid attention to and to get help with healing. These kids need to be loved and to know that they have value.
The absolute worst way to control a mental health crisis “calm down” “can you not hurt yourself while I go do this” yeah thats gonna help🤦🏻♀️
Poor kid was failed by everyone in his life at such a young age. I hope he turned his life around.
@Carter Davis - We do too. His life was filled with trauma from a very young age. Appreciate you watching and commenting
@@CalamariProductions it so hard to see this kid go thru this. I just hope he gets out and changes his life around. I wish him the best of luck.
He got arrested in 2017 when he was 28
He didn’t. Jacob Mathis-Shauntee, 28, Bloomington, Level 6 possession of methamphetamine, Class C misdemeanor possession of paraphernalia.
He said he had a 4 year old daughter. She'd be 18 now. A year younger than he was here. I wonder how SHE turned out? Well, at least we know ONE woman who didn't 'fail him at such a young age' because by MY calculations, he was like 14 when he got her preggers!
This poor child brings heartfelt tears. He just needs to control his temper as all the people he comes across are going to tell him what to do. He cannot take off at them. He has been sent to so many places and witnessed lots of wrong conduct. He needs to be shown love not incarceration.
The 'poor child' boofed some chick when he was 14 and had a daughter after he was sent up who is now 18. Apparently, his temper and wrong conduct were not an issue THEN! AND he said he plans to marry her when he gets out! So SOMEONE sure loved him. Now look at ME as a comparison. I'm in my 50's, college educated, NEVER been to jail and I'm STILL waiting for someone. He had HIS at 14!
Look at me 71 never been to jail divorced, and only been with one woman in my life who couldn't see my value.
@@garyclarke8862 Well, at least you HAD that woman at some point in your life. So you've one upped ME!
Man this sucks bro frfr
wow its sad to even think about not having a mom or dad to love you and guide you in life . poor dude
😢 heartbreaking
Bounced from home to home, treated like garbage, abused, then thrown into a jail because they aren’t raised right with no intensive psychiatric treatment or care…and people wonder why these kids can’t control themselves!? What do people expect? You see people get a hard time for rehoming their dog because it’s traumatic and yet how many kids are out there just being treated like trash every day?
These kids need counseling, mental healthcare, guidance and love. Who knows what their childhoods looked like. My guess is not good.
Don't they realize this kid has been forced into institutionalization ALL HIS F*ING LIFE...?! Why treat him like some hardened criminal.
Any aggressive behavior is just his way of pushing back for some kind of independence. He had no freedom, no place to go, to friends to visit, no job or school to go to, no relatives to visit, not car to drive, no place to just hang out and think. My god! Anyone would go nuts being treated like this from childhood on.
He’s a cutter, and scratcher. I feel his “pain”. We don’t feel pain, that’s why we physically hurt our self
I worked at a detention center and an industrial school for boys. I never had to cuff a child nor did they wear uniforms. They wore their own clothing. The institutions should change their ways in dealing with children. I don't think they should be like prisons for adults.
They used to let them wear your own shoes but kids were extorted all the time so they stopped. I was locked up here all most 20 years ago for 2 years. Changed my life i tell you that.
God i love you sooooo much just hearing you talking with them make me feel calm and relieved even though I'm 29 yo.
Really sad seeing a young man like that in prison. I know its their fault, but still, it breaks my heart. Youth is priceless. And he's handsome too!
@big flipji - sad for sure. He was a good kid, he just had so much trauma in his life as a child. A lot to try to overcome at such a young age. Thanks for watching and commenting.
It’s not always their fault, my mother was a narcissistic alcoholic and would say I was “unruly” to get me locked up so she could do what she wanted. I am 40 now and I’m still angry and damaged from it. I still have nightmares about these places.
Id like for you to see the same views if it were an adult

More amazing parents don’t raise good kids. To many parents want to be friends with kids and not parents. I was on my own at 14 my home life was horrible everything you can imagine. The past don’t need to control you. I got married at 18. My wife and I have a great life. I was lucky I found her but no one has to let the bad childhood dictate your path in life.
@nonya biz - glad you have a good life. Always good to hear when childhood has been traumatic. Some kids find it harder to overcome than others. People like you help others realize there can be a light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for watching.
Don't let go. The system is fucked up!!
Unfortunately many kids aren’t able to move on to a normal happy life. I am glad you were were able to.

So Sad to see young kid's like this with the issues they have . The help he needs should have started a long time ago. Had he have got the help younger and positive role models in his life he may not be where he is now. I hope he get's the help he needs and don't end up in prison He is young and you can tell there is a good guy in there . Like the nurse said One on One time he needs that Bless that nurse that she understands that .Jacob is blessed to have Alana the nurse where he is at
@Keith Martz -- you are very right. Help earlier vs. later can make all the difference. Untreated trauma can lead to more trauma later in life. Some kids are able to emerge and live happy lives, while others continue to struggle. It's all very individual. Thank you for commenting.
That first kid in the lockdown cell has been treated so well! In an adult jail or prison, anyone who even remotely hurts themselves is stripped down and put in a suicide pod with no blanket, bed, or anything to keep warm. Our justice system is so fucking terrible.
I just wonder what has happened to Jacob now. He would be 32. He is a handsome, kind, funny and intelligent boy who with the right parenting I think could we have been outstanding. Imagine his father trying to kill him at 3. His whole life was just being shuffled from place to place. Loved the nurse too.
I can imagine his father trying to kill him at 3. I can even imagine his mother stabbing her next hubbie 40 some odd times in the back. What I'm trying to imagine is him boofing at age 14 and having a daughter! One thing is for sure. He stopped being 'shuffled' long enough for THAT and someone sure did care about the handsome, funny and intelligent boy at SOME point. By the by, just HOW intelligent is it to be boofing and having kids when you're only 14?
I just cry when I see this. Those children must have had some hard times to get the way they are and do the things they do. I had a life like theirs only I was saved by a police man and nuns who raised me from the age of 9 to 16. I worked with children to try to make a difference in their lives on several occasions. 50 years ago the children we had were runaways, thefts, and prostitution. Very few were heavy drug users. I see a big difference from then to now. They commit more serious crimes now. God please save the children.
Idk about anyone else but I can't help but my heart breaks for them. Godbless them🙏
Ok, am I the only one that thinks the counselor is a bit off his rocker?
Seems like maybe they shouldn't have counselors who view the people they are counseling as if they were from "another planet"
With this prison being in my hometown of Pendleton, Indiana, I’m just terrified about something happening to me next (even though I have problems myself but have never been in this facility)
I love this channel
The women responsible for calming down the patient by telling him to calm down and not hurt himself, through a closed door, is anything but protocol. By the looks of their lack of physical well-being I don't think much good can happen. The young man was in crisis and should have been properly attended. Unfortunately he was left to deal with problem alone. My heart breaks for those young children The staff needing somewhere to go did to that young man what everyone in his life has done...left him when he needed them the most. This is unacceptable.. One does not stand outside the door and think that everything will be alright saying "don't hurt yourself. That young man is in dire straights at that facility. By looking at the faculty, with the amount of extremely over weight people protocol seems to be thrown out the door. Having said that, I honestly believe their hearts are in the right place. But remember. the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
I hope he has gotten things together and stayed out of trouble. He's been let down on many levels from nearly the start it sounds like...very heartbreaking. I see in your update you couldnt find out what his situation is now but i do hope you will keep trying to locate info. Hopefully he has become a great dad to his daughter:-)
He hasn't stayed out of trouble.
It’s amazing how he still has laces in his shoes
I love these stories by Calamari and have been binge watching all week. I especially like to know how these kids are doing now and love the updates provided by Calamari...I saw on Jacob's story part one there was his charges for intimidation in 2017. I did a little research, and it is kind of outdated, but I was able to find some more regarding Jacob in 2017.
* Jacob E. Mathis-Shauntee, 28, 1305 S. Monon Drive, arrested Wednesday by Bloomington police on preliminary charges of criminal mischief and intimidation; booked into the Monroe County Jail at 11:12 p.m. Bond set at $10,500.
* Jacob Mathis-Shauntee, 28, Bloomington, Level 6 possession of methamphetamine, Class C misdemeanor possession of paraphernalia
Its very upsetting and I truly hope he's doing better now.

@calamariproductions, could you put dates on these so that we know when they were filmed?
Aww I feel so sad for him I hope he makes the best if everything
Such things are nearly impossible in Western Europe or in Scandinavia. I am ready shocked. This system is not right and good. Many kids nowadays have problems with our society and agression. They all need psychological treatment. And we großen ups have to ask theirself: What are the reasons for my daughter's or son's problems?
I was confused. He said he's been in there for 5 years but has a daughter that is 4. 🤔
I wish I could find some of the guys I was locked up with back in 03 and 04. I’ve ran into a few but I fear a lot of them went to prison or died.
The lack of empathy and compassion in these comments is breathtaking
I was extremely similar to the kid in the beginning. I did the exact same things as him. Almost looks like I'm watching my younger self in a mirror. I'm doing much better now. It's pretty much only a memory now, and has 0 effect on me. I guess I got lucky the trauma didn't stay with me in my adult hood. Hope he got equally lucky...
These kids need therapy and someone that loves them.. Lockin them up does no good, it only perpetuates a criminal justice system that's a failure failure failure...
this is what happens when parents dont love and discipline their children
Feel bad for his upbringing. He's in there because of shitty parents. He speaks very well and you can tell he's intelligent. Hope he made it ok.
You're kidding me right? He speaks well and is intelligent? He talks like he's on speed. And he's a nervous wreck. And a lot of what he says is nonsensical gibberish!

Gonna baby a 19 year old? He's in PRISON for a reason. Send him to the adult side where he belongs I bet he get checked real quick. They're treating him like he's in school
I would not want him to be my counselor
a man is not defined by age or build it’s defined by the way you think. this poor kid hasn’t had a chance to grow up into his own man bc the justice system probrably has been walking on his face for nearly his whole life. i hope he gets out and takes everychance he’s presented to make something amazing.
I’m surprised that the 18-18 yr olds still in juvenile detention- Texas after 17yo if they continue to act this way either sent to MH detention or waved over to adult jail- the danger is real
Parents you can not be your child’s friend you need to teach right and wrong, love them and set a good example or do not have children, they deserve better.
I was in their shoes. Forever a changed man. Some for good. But mostly bad. I hope they get their shit straight.. it ain’t worth it man. It’s rough now.
So sad for a lot of these kids
This young man looks like my brother in law. Someone please just get him help! He is stuck at age 3, he needs help!also enroll at a modeling agency, you have the right bone structure!!
Love these country folk that make up the work force of these prisons.
I worked in the foster care system with teenage boy 15+ as a mentor. So Actually a bipolar mentor. These kids are forced to "the adult". They're not. To begin with they really haven't cognitively reach an adult thought process and mindset. That has been retarded by life circumstances including education, self safety and surrounding safety, lack of role models and more. For my job I was responsible for helping them find ways to deal with life stressors. Like talk about their dad's suicide, bullying at school, or what's going on at their foster by home. They could talk about anything with me a I wouldn't judge. Their words were safe with me unless they were a danger to themselves or others. I take the to parades very early so they learned patience and how to find something legal to keep busy. I would take them camping to challenge them. I would help the come up with idea for paying back restitution. Involved myself in their lives by attend events that I were important to them like log rolling a trip for pizza after he read the book list. Or the several boys going camping find the marshmallow forks I will and I will bring the marshmallow. I teach them and and have y
This doesn't look that bad compared to what being raised by abusive parents is like.
Here at least there's a sense of justice, and the people running the place are accountable to some degree.
Gotta agree with you living with abuse as a kid you have NO control. I would venture to say that is how the large majority of these kids end up here... coming from abusive homes
He probably never rcvd counseling at the age of 3 after the dad tried to kill him, and it got worst wth his mom and her drug lifestyle. No one provided services or she was just unfit and now he's a troubled teen.
No place can handle these kids or young adults
The nurses look so done with their lives.
What’s his name? Is he still in prison?
He might be of legal age but he's not a grown man. He's still a kid. I am glad they were all caring enough to calmly handle the situation and the kid didn't end up severely hurt.
*Emotions are temporary, the consequences of them are not*
"When Jacob felt things were unfair" the description says.... sometimes its not about unfair, it's about screws not calling out the prisoner when you know that you cannot fight them, yet you know you are protected and they can do nothing about it 🤷🏻♀That's not just unfair, its unjust!
Not all these kids are mad, crazy, unreliable, bad people.... as kids society let them down, straight after their parents did!
We don't all take the same path, but that's the point! 🤦🏻♀
You expect perfection from people inhabiting "society" are broken also...by sin. It's not the "societies" job to make people better . It's all in our mindset and our personal responsibility.
This young man needs Jesus just like we all do
These kids need resources for rehabilitation and integration back into society. These kids do not have control over anything that has been done to them. It’s due to their adverse childhood experiences that they are the way they are they need treatment not jail they respond the only way they know how and that’s to protect themselves.
I feel like as long as the kid didn't kill someone or hurt someone physically they should definitely have more emotional care without those walls
These kids don't need prison. They need some trauma therapy. There is a reason for their behavior. Get to the root to fix it.
Why do ppl automatically assume that a young boy or man can’t express his emotions and has to “suck it up?” Let them express it!!!!! We’re humans, it’s not good to just keep sucking shit up.
Male guard who’s never worked an in adult prison goes on to state how much more dangerous the kids are..keep stroking your tiny fragile ego dude.
i never went to juvie but my mom threatened to kill me when i was 16, i grew up in a hostile environment, my mom was quite the yeller, verbal assault, emotional assault, things were also tough at home, my parents fought a lot, and mom initiated the fights, they weren't physical but arguementative.

I believe kids will not get in a such horrible life when they have responsible , supportive loving parents. Mostly they are the ones lacking affection of their parents. IMy heart is broken watching this, I have a son who is far from this kid. He is active in sports, jolly even at times he feels sad because I divorced his father. We ramained as affectionate ang supportive parents even we are already divorced .
Where is he now?
That kid would be around 34 now. I hope he stayed out of trouble after this.

Mentre sarebbe che li da voi fossero un pò meno dure, specie per certe fasce di età e reati, perché il rischio di rovinare completamente dei giovani fondamentalmente non cattivi è molto alto. .
