The first dude acts like a teacher 😂 “He upset because I embarrassed him in front of the other inmates.” BRUH
In front of his peers
The weight of it which no one mentioned 😂
Being made a punk in front of other inmates can cost you your life. Respect is king
He worded it weird but that's exactly what it is. You cant try and punk an inmate in front of everyone, because if they stand down and take it, he looks like a punk. I did 2 1/2 years corrections (prison) and it's a quick lesson you learn. If you wanna get an inmate to respect you, do it one on one. That or fight and hopefully you win. Lol
@@Bullnye LMAO
I've been in county jail when I was just 17 and I can tell you that even inmates in for some serious things aren't usually bad people, when they were treated with respect they were often very kind to the guards and for the most part everyone got a long. Respect is the way to go.
this isnt county jail not even close
Exactly but I can tell you for an absolute fact that the real criminals are the guards. They have god complexes and get off on messing with the inmates and treating them as less than human.
Respect is earned not demanded by low life scum who end up in prison to begin with
@@Robert-ks5ix prisoners are better than you
@@userI3I2 Yeah murderers, gangbangers, rapists, and drug pushers are better than someone who hurt your pwecious wittle feewings.
That first guy is going to get hurt
Benjamin Stewart he’s gonna get his coworkers hurt too
Benjamin Stewart he acting real tough but one day he’s gonna get jumped by all inmates lol
He doesn’t treat inmates like they’re humans (which they are to a certain extent) and he gets all butt hurt when they talk back? Like wtf hahah. Treat others how you would want to be treated pal
Benjamin Stewart Nah he matured if anything during that season lol
Original G yeah he’s a lot better now
“Top flight security of the world “😂😂
Rent a cops
That's right Craig
You forgot when the detention officer Fabian found weed and blades....didn’t report it and flushed it down the toilet
What video was that on?
Javier N. I don’t remember the video title exactly...but it’s on A&E channel. Just look up Fabian CO finds contraband. He has a baby face
Season 2 episode 9. Credit to some commenter on one of these other top 7 videos
Joseph Tran we sick of seeing him
Good CO then😂😂
“I feel like it made me look like I didn’t know how to do my job”. Because sir, you don’t.
@Keithisready shut up, you can clearly see from the video that these guys are complete tools
He's obnoxious
The first CO is being extremely unprofessional and confrontational. If he keeps it up, he'll end up hurting himself.
Goes to show that the inmate are the one who really run the show. They can make you or break you.
He let his power go to his head.
he knows he can get backup within seconds even if he crosses the line with an inmate
Going to get his azz shanked when camera crew leave
@@BENNYLOCO100 Na he a g. He can handle all those chumps
"You're a Rookie, Esè!"
Lol, classic
Lol I died 😅
Bro that first dude is a chad.
You're a beta
You’re a omega but on your knees
@@fana406 you make really funny videos
quixce Hahahah
@@burnzyable let me guess... Your a chad
I can almost guarantee that first dude had already failed as a small town cop so he had to become a CO... And he's obviously not cut out for that either. To be an effective part of law enforcement, you need to treat every single person, locked up or free, with respect until they disrespect you.
Thats literally what they do with officers that get fired for breaking the law.
And even then he still has to keep his professionalism
I hate comments like this. Correctional officers are just as important as police. Who do you think keeps the murderers and rapists away from you and your family?
@@gokushkameha-ha-ha9344not all. Plenty have killed ppl for no reason and got away with it.
“In his left sock”
Check left shoe....
Right
No it was left
5:45 That's a good CO. He tells the prisoner he's still getting written up, but that he has rights and can appeal whatever gets written. No cutting corners or just throwing out the write up/ doing it again.
If I recall correctly they made him do another UA
He is a leiutenant
That situation made no sense. Those other officers saw Israel putting the guy in the cage. If they know he has to be present for the drug test why didn't they stop him?
@@julissaperez4875he was a Sgt when this was filmed but you right he is a Lt now
“Sir this vato is acting aggressive”
Hahaha
even the other CO said he was a super cop lmao
That cop threatened him first so really what the prisoner said was fair game
lmaoooooo
Lmao purto stfu and sit down 😂
The first dude... he’s trying to assert himself and show that he can’t be messed with- which needs to be done. BUT he’s going about it in alllll the wrong ways. People won’t mess with you when they respect you. You’re not going to be respected when you go around treating people like trash just to seem tough. The thing about most prisoners? They have street smarts. They can spot a BSer from a mile away. They can see right through the facade. He lost their respect in a matter of seconds and he will never earn it back.
He broke the law he's a fool from the start the co was in the right
@@Jesuschrist-su2ez That’s not something Jesus would say.
@@Jesuschrist-su2ez I don't really think the matter of right and wrong matters when he gets jumped by 6 inmates with shanks.
@@Jesuschrist-su2ez good luck in life with that mentality
This what happens when the inmates are smarter than the guards.
Hahahah
This just shows you how well America hires cops. =))
Obviously these inmates aren’t smart if they’re still locked up at the end of the day
Literally anyone could be a cop. Half the cops I see are obese old men.
@@US_ARMY_25_INF._DIV. you mean the fat lazy cops we see on the streets? lol, or maybe the ones being charged for crimes?
The real rookie mistake here is TH-cam moving the comments section
👍🏻
I still scroll all the way down lol
"CoMmEnTs HaVe MoVeD"
I have a low g too:D
He knew the phone was in the laundry bag
Thx
synergyツ no problem
Facts 💯
He sure did he looked guilty
Yeah he did. Pretty sure he got caught with meth not long ago.
This prison is totally out of control, it looks like the COs are the actual prisoners...
So true ---- but it's a job that pays the bills but you subject yourself to a lot taunting and emotional distress.
joel diaz that’s not the point dumb bozo
Inmates run that prison my tío left richer than what he came out and hooked on more drugs too
No it's just the worst moments in one video
@Doppelganger D nah bro most prisons are run by the prisoners more then the guards these cos get like 3-4 weeks of training in some places these are just big headed ego idiots just like some of the prisoners oil and water doesn’t mix and one guard can’t handle all those prisoners that’s why they have to go in there with guns most guards are pretty incompetent
These guys act so smart when they find something hidden in a small finite space
Justin G Yeah for real, they walk in a 9x6 cell with 3 pairs of clothe, 4 shoes, a bed, sheets, and like 5 other misc. things and act like they just did some megamind detective work when in reality they’re the pink panther detective.
Plus the CO are the ones who bring everything in
It's not as easy as it looks I'm a CO and these guys will hide it in places you may not even think to look especially guys in prison
Log0ut I’m dead 😂😂
Yeah I did training and I only found certain things cause I use to clean crack houses
But I just think were would I hide something
I’m currently a CO and honestly it’s all about respect, Talk to these guys with respect and they’ll give the same energy back, the first clip was just flat out bad, that’s one way to get jumped asap.
Everyone knows that the guard's bring the drugs and cellphones in.
@#TEAM TRUMP I did not say all ... but ALL GUARDS know that the guards are bringing in drugs and cellphones
@#TEAM TRUMP it's not how few are dealing in contraband ... it's the fact that "most" of the guards know what's going on.
If you were a guard ... you either knew what was going on ... or you are very slow.
@@joecitizen6755 so.
.....you're a CO? I don't know where you work at but that's not true where I work at.
@@LegendofLaw so your jails or prisons have no contraband in them?
You are a liar
Legendoflaw21007 Whittle doubt it your probably still a rookie
There's no way I could do this job I don't care how much they pay.
It's not as bad as tv makes it out to be. Most inmates just want to be left alone. Not all of them break rules. Most inmates will make sure a new inmate follows the rules in their area because it's a lot less hassle then having to be shook down all the time.
If you treat people with respect you'll find that inmates can be the nicest of people and actually capable of teaching lessons in morality. Respect and decency is the way to go, too many shows paint both the guards and the inmates in bad light when in reality they're just people who've made some mistakes or someone just doing their job.
Around $33,000 a year in SC....yeah, no thanks.
Yah they don’t get paid enough. This is dangerous job. It’s not worth it.
K0 B1 >inmates teaching lessons in morality
😂
Really nikka?
"check the left sock"
*proceeds to not even acknowledge anything theyre saying or the sock*
he didnt want to actually find it. he was intimidated
@@sp00f34 yeah I got that impression as well. Wonder why the other guard didn't check it either.
"It's in his left sock" , doesn't check sock
"am i a joke to you?"
8:57 "IN HIS LEFT SOOOCK" OFFICER:"TAKE YOUR SHOE OFF" OMG HAHAHAH
He doesn’t talk to them like that before the cameras were in. He acted up and they reacted 🤨
What they didn't know is...
Thirty minutes after clearing a cell, the inmate sits down on his cot and begins smoking his left shoe.
what does he even mean?
@@pahadistoner6136 yeah I wanna know too
@@pahadistoner6136 Certain drugs can be "formed" into cloth and rubber-like materials for smuggling through various chemical and heat-treated methods.
@@treborironwolfe Oh yeah! I kinna got it from the start but failed to understand why a man would smoke his shoe. hahaha. Anyway thanks for the explantion brother. Much love from India
@@pahadistoner6136 I dig your avatar icon by the way. I'm an advocate for legalizing marijuana but I only smoke about once every five years.. sadly, it just makes me sleepy and want to eat strange foods. Much love to you and India also.
“Sergeant, This vato over here is acting crazy” 😂😂😭
What’s a “vato”??
@@evolutionaryadvantage Hispanic gang members
The prisoners seem like smart enough guys that got caught... these officers however...
Aisha Hahahah
Haha Aaaaite
Most if not all CO s are failed police applicants.....
You should send them some pictures
@#TEAM TRUMP I went to jail at 17, I'm not there anymore and I've gone back to school, got work, living a decent life. Don't run your mouth if you don't know anything dude, just makes you look stupid and that means people will treat you like you're stupid.
“Top flight security of the world” LMAO 😂😂💀💀
My favorite inmate line. " You better check my file. You better check my file. I aint know body to mess with."
These rookies should never be alone. There should always be a more senior officer watching them, teaching them and showing there mistakes on the spot. The inmates showing the officers how to do there job is gonna end bad.
😁😁..."you better read my jacket cuz i aint the 1".
Paper work solid
*nobody
The inmate saying top flight security of the world was low key hilarious!
what part of in the sock didn't he understand
The in the sock part
The sock part
Lmao I met D’angelo and he seemed kinda ditzy
He was scared
Ballin2Honchos Nooooo he wasn’t. He’s done shakedowns before there was literally no reason for his stupidity
7:44 Me running to class with the mcdonald's that made me late
🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol
Said left sock clear as day smh
Quis Harris I’m pretty sure the CO didn’t want the inmate to get in trouble over a cigarette... Like imagine getting extra jail time over a CIGARETTE
Gimme a second let me check his shoe
Rookie mistake but it is harder to make the right decision under pressure face to face with inmates vs sitting on your sofa typing
"I ain't got no issues. But? Put me n there with so and so? I'm gonna twist his cap back."
Lol, classic
This “VATO” is acting aggressive lol
GUERROLOCO530 a CO calling a man a VATO isn’t “in bounds” he won’t last long,I guarantee that!
Facts bro
GUERROLOCO530 what does vato officially mean. Like I have a rough idea with vatos locos
@@darealshottaaagilly9809
I wonder how many pounds of marijuana and heroin do you sell for living? Just asking.
@Leonardo Santuario whats wrong with you
It's in his left sock 😂😂😂 co was so nervous he wasnt paying attention
For the Rookies... There is SO Much to learn. Life lessons. Thank goodness for the specialized teams who know where to look. I believe they miss things from time to time. Only human.
This is why you’re not a cop
They miss things everyday cuz they didn’t go to college
Neil Doran college does not teach life
"These guy's arent here for singing in the choir too loud." Oldest co saying ever
No. 8
"hey can you hold my gun a second, I gotta take a dookie"
As a former inmate, to hear that cop say his favorite part of the job was shakedowns confirms everything we think and say about them
Spot on brother!
What’s does that confirm
@@Notoriouscj1 That they enjoy getting you into further trouble.
@@dangonzalez2680 you won’t get in trouble if you don’t have nothing
@@Notoriouscj1 That isn’t the point. They’re HOPING they find something, not because they want to make the place safer, but rather so they can get some cred from their peers and superiors. It’s their intentions which are wrong. They don’t care about inmates, and if you’ve ever been in jail for any significant amount of time, you’d know that straight away.
“Top flight security of the world craig!” That quote was fire
You hear it all the time. It's to taunt you or discourage you from doing your job correctly.
@Doppelganger D working law enforcement is considered "messing up" to the people that's locked up
It's almost scary re-watching this knowing that that other officer has been transporting drugs for the inmates and was later caught
7:45 kills me everytime 😂😂
You should not act like a tough guy in jail, especially when you’re an officer.
I watched this to see if Fabian was in it ...🥴
I heard he got fired 😂
Satis he was
He made some of the dumbest decisions
@@perfectworld1078 😂😂😂
poor lil boy
First clip is sad. It’s so true “you want respect show us respect you don’t know how to talk to inmates we’re not punks” yyuuuup he really likes his place of authority smh
I just finished watching videos of inmates saving guards from heart attacks, strokes, attacks from other inmates, and they all say they saved them bc they treated them like a person and for that they respected him. The first officer, yelling at them like they’re animals, I could definitely see inmates turning and looking the way if an emergency happened to him. He needs to learn to treat people with some respect and humanity
Officer on radio:ITS IN HIS LEFT SOCK
Chapparo:doesn't check the sock
That first guy is gonna end get killed eventually... quit dude go work in a call center , talk to ppl wild and crazy via the phone
"I wanna be the perfect officer"......... meanwhile swearing at inmates and calling them out to shame them.......Yea good one bud, one way to embarrass yourself in front of CCO's
The absolute horror of...
swearing at inmates.
Gtfo with your sentimental bs.
“He put it in his left sock.”
“Take your shoe off.”
How did Fabian not make this list. Remember when the inmates rushed him and went in the office looking through his files and he didn't do anything but stand there looking stupid. That should of made the list.
So true lol
I was terrified for him when I initially saw it
when you’re in & out of the system .. you learn every trick in the book LMAOOO.
Sir this Vato is being aggressive LMAO
Prison is like school except learning and u can’t leave till theys say so
Hahahah
orb lite feast so an american school
It's nothing like school
U must have never been to prison
Don't assume you know what it's like to be locked up after watching some bs shows like this. All they do is show the parts of hail and prison that are exciting enough to get on tv. Most of the time it's really boring and nothing is going on, people generally getting a long or keeping to themselves.
The guards acting like that in prison, but when you see them outside they dont even look at you 😂
The first clip was crazy. He was outnumbered and surrounded in that bathroom, about 10 inmates behind him and about 5 in front of him. 🤦🏾♂️
The first man is That type of guy from high school trying to show every student how tough he really is.
Who’s here after seeing this dude got caught bringing drugs in? I now think he in fact did know the phone was in there.
I like how she says its in his sock and the co doesn't even check his sock lol
That Puerto dude is hilarious. Dude is like 5'7" and convinced he's a force to be reckoned with. Chill out sis.
That dude couldn’t even intimidate a baby much less a prisoner.
I'm pretty sure he could still knock out a few prisoners and you.
New mexico is a crazy place man
When you’re so caught up on trying to “prove yourself” you will make mistakes. That’s anything...
The first guy is just a kid on a power trip . Respect works both ways if they have a riot they kill him first 😂🤦♀️
Young punk with a badge that is trying so hard to be a tough guy. His actions could get the rest of the good officers who actually are firm but respectful with the inmates hurt..
Just because an inmate calls you out on something doesn’t mean you did something wrong or incompetent.
“We’re not punks” LOL
Slaλer Hahahah
I'm from NM and my uncle got locked up at this prison (PNM) for a little bit before he got transferred out, I'm glad he got transferred after seeing this show, I had no idea how bad it was in there.
It's probably not as bad as they make it seem.
im from NM too
Omg...I can't imagine how hard to work as prison officers..I respect them deeply🙋♀️
I still laugh at Andrew martknez's episode, first impression is him laying on the chapstick and walking around eating a sanswhich.
*When I was locked up in the fed unit I was in that 1st C.O. would've definitely got hurt if he was there.*
I literally just said the same thing. His temperament is not appropriate. He will get himself or a fellow officer hurt.
That’s what i’m saying!!
I did 4 years in TDC and if that guard would have been acting like that ova here in Texas Prisons,he would have got destroyed!!
@@jaygonzalez8575 *Yep, Especially in Huntsville.*
I’m glad they’re actively preserving the rights of the inmates at least. And going so far as to explain their rights rather than pussyfooting around them to make it a confusing situation.
9:16 that Friday reference tho 😂😂
Lmfaooooo the inmates clapping after the rookie didn’t find anything lol
The first one is clearly acting hard for the cameras for whatever reason
Because he’s a ego tripping fool just like all guards and cops and has no business in the job he’s in.
What jumped out to me right away is, the worst mistake every one of these officers made was, to even take this dangerous lousy, thankless job!
Check his sock!!
'Oh I didn't catch that part'
🤣
"Treat people the way you want to be treated".
You mean like the murderers and rapists did?
He should of got fired when he gave dude the phone from cell to cell
He did eventually, for bringing in meth
Amanda Hall how do you know?
@@amandahall1120 wait what?!? where did you hear that? The kid that's dad was a lifelong cop too?
@@WebSurfer447 all over the net. His name is Cohen mangin
@@matthewkehler1230 look up Cohen mangin
Everyone makes mistakes when they’re new, this is just a high pressure situation. Mistakes happened, learn and move on.
Top flight security of the world Craig😂😂😂😂
Something about the look on dudes face tells me there was a phone in there lol
As a prison guard you NEED to have the respect of the prisoners whilst also making them know that you're in charge. That first guy really needs to realise that or he's gonna get jumped
Spent 12 years as a training SGT in a max security state prison. Training these rookies is a never ending job. It takes hard work and attention to details.
Don’t feel bad CO the STIU has their informant tell them exactly where to look.
Here's my two cents: I find these reality/prison shows. I also think that the cameras lead to drama and grandstanding by the inmates AND the corrections officers. Just my observation
Treat them like human beings and watch how much they won’t give you a hard time. Being reasonable goes a long way.
They should put the guy that looks like a 12 year old.
@Tough Bickies lmao.
Did you auto correct or have a stroke and couldn't finish the sentence?
Good idea?! 🤔
Dont you just love incomplete sentences? Lol
I couldnt be around that level of negativity. So definitely appreciate these people do it
They are 60% of the negativity b
“We’re not punks you can’t talk to us like that” - inmate in a high security prison 😂
That cat and mouse game between inmates and guards is exhausting . It's just a recipe for a volatile environment.
7:02 best acting ever!!!!😂😂😂😂👍
“You a ruckie ese” -inmate 2020
*2019
This show is like 10 years old so you both wrong
Rookie cop acts like a bully in a high school.. just bc they are inmates doesnt mean they dont deserve respect!
They are already doing time....
Yeah they’re great guys. Might as well let them all go.
At 5:45 The inmate looks like Kobe Bryant 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
The white boi was all scared when the guy said “imma pull his cap back”😂
Took me a sec to realize I wasn't watching 60 days anymore, I'm like since when do they do 60 days in prison? Lol.
It’s embarrassing for the officers to be told by a inmate how to do their job. Boohoo just cuz you decided to be forced adult day care doesn’t make you any better than them.
It's because they're rookies... they're still learning the job.
Training will only take you so far. Experience in the pods is what really counts.
