It seems to me that these kids need a lot of help. It's horrible that these kids have suffered so much trauma in their lives. I hope that they get all the help they need.
They need to have programs for juveniles to rehabilitate them!!! Locked them up in solidarity confinement for so long is not in their best interest!!! Those kids need psychiatric help!!!
@Kaia Shea - solitary is a horrible place for anyone to be. Many places, including this prison, have now done away with solitary for juveniles. Sadly, several juvenile prisons still utilize the practice. It's inhumane. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
@@whatwillyoudiefor7774 right so just throw a person in an empty room for days and forget about them because they’re acting up? I wonder if you would do your own kids like that
I couldn't be a correctional officer. I got to big of a heart I couldnt see kids have to go through this. But it's all about choices. They do need active activities that will better them for when they get out. If they get out. I've been here myself. It's definitely not fun. You don't know how surreal that feeling is when they open that cell door. You truly do feel like a animal being locked up. Some people are just crazy and need to be there. Some just make mistakes. But who doesn't
@@CJKingAgainstalloddsKC Man, it's not that you may lose your job. You WILL lose it, along with going to prison. Guards who pull stuff like that, are some of the most hated dudes in prison just bc you was a guard. If they send you to the place you just got fired from...oh boy!
This is so sad to see young men with so much potential turn to the life of crime so early , most of them will be given up on and they’ll commit more serious crimes , but I think being very strict on them now may teach them the lesson and hopefully they’ll turn their early life around and be a productive citizen and live a normal life , I hope and pray these young men get the help and guidance they need.
Juvenile prison is crazy 23 hours a day in a room is not helping them these younger kids should be doing boot camp Instead of keeping them in a room all day you gotta make them feel like I accomplished something each and every day you gotta have them motivated to do better !
From my POV this kid is very respectable💯 I could only image the trauma in the back of this kids head. I pray he becomes everything he sees himself as.🙏🏾 His attitude and demeanor is calm and the way he present himself doesnt make him seem any kind of trouble. I can just see in his eyes that his heart is actually pure holding a lot of pain. It all start at home. These kids are more than worthy of having a chance of life❤️
Very true I've had my own personal incidents with the law and being admitted I'm young and don't know how to control alot my emotions which leads to outbreaks kids need role models in life or it can lead them into a deeep dark hole..
This is not a bad kid . He has childhood traumas that makes this kid behave this way . At 14 years old burning an apartment building down because he’s bored just proves that he wasn’t getting the love of attention from his parents if he was raised by them . The pain he is craving is the hurt he’s been through his whole life and it’s all he’s used to . I mentor juvenile delinquents and most never had a fair start at life to begin with . A life we could never imagine but I understand why they commit the crimes they do . No real guidance or mentors , no one positive to look up to for direction in life . I honestly just want to give him a hug and tell him I care about him and he’s important ❤ It’s never to late to change your life around , but locking these kids up does not change their mindset or reality after they get out .

It also gives insight to the mentoring/parenting role that these guards often undertake. Really nice observational stuff, thanks Calamari!

9:30 from what he said is so true coming from me another teen. We DO get bored, and sometimes our parent’s don’t let us go out while they work all day. And school become boring too.

I have worked both with adults and juveniles in a correctional facility. This just my experience, the juveniles in the facility was by far the worse to deal with. More important because they all felt they could prove a point and break the rules, after continuing to explain the consequences. The first thing the facility would do is give them medicine because they come in on synthetic drugs. But when you actually spoke to the juveniles and got to know them, I would always see through them and they would say, I’m making a name for myself. Solitary is a punishment and a form to break a individual, whether juvenile or adult.
Well duh that’s common sense lol of course thete kids a lot adults in jail now how to act some just getting High are sell drugs addicted to the lifestyle or the high but once that’s all gone lot then aren’t to bad
I was locked up 11-17 then in n out the county after for multiple months at a time I grew up there this shit so relatable I wish all blessings n health for them
Zack, I really hope you pass your GED and get into the military. You are a good person. I wish you all the best in your life. You are very intelligent and will succeed.
Zack appears to be criminally insane to me. Enjoys inflicting pain on himself and others, has random episodes where he blacks out and destroys everything in reach. No way he'll be able to stay out of jail, let alone be allowed in the military.
@@GurtGobain that’s why it’s a hope. Innate abilities don’t ever leave you but it can be converted into a positive mechanism. His mental strength with being who he is, is asserts to the military. It does take a lot of work to convert but it is possible.
I hope you’re living a productive life now and as a correction officer everything was not supposed to be a big daycare for you you committed a crime and you should’ve done the time now if you weren’t in a facility that had tried to rehabilitate you and make you a better citizen I am truly sorry for that
As a former Juvenile Corrections Officer and currently, a high school teacher, I can honestly say that it is not the fault of the "system." Most kids are given tons of chances to get it right before they end up in a situation such as this. It literally comes down to their own decisions. I have worked directly with murderers, car thieves, robbers, sex offenders, every level of criminal you can imagine. And it all comes down to the choices THEY make. I have been blessed enough to see some of the young ppl I have worked with turn their lives around, while others CHOSE to continue down the wrong path. It all starts at home, and if the parents and/or guardians can't get it right, this is the end result for many of our youth. There are ppl who are offering help constantly...but a lot of the younger generation is very content with staying stuck. I can only speak from my own personal encounters..in 2 different states, in 3 different professional roles, over the last 12 plus years. I see a lot of ppl saying what "needs" to happen..but what are you actually doing personally to help on your own end?
I disagree completely. You can't read chapter 5 before you read the first 4. A lot of people will deal with undiagnosed mental health, abuse and neglect, addictions, and losing friends their entire life up until that point. And maybe they don't see "help" like you do. You can only be let down so many times before you tell yourself you the only one that can make yourself get out of whatever your dealing with
@@NPX22 you have every right to disagree. However, I have firsthand helped many young people find their way despite the obstacles they have encountered during Chapters 1-4..so while I value your input, I can only reference what I have experienced with the hundreds of kids I have worked with over the years. I have a special place in my heart for them, and I still have bonds with them to this day. My initial post was referencing the individuals who CHOOSE to continue down the wrong path for themselves. I have seen both sides of the spectrum. I have served as Teacher, Mentor, Counselor, and in many cases, the only adult who they felt cares or could be trusted. And, I am thankful for the success stories of the young folks who have evolved past their setbacks. But, it's time that we as a society stop making excuses for ppl's actions and figure out ways together to provide help and solutions. I have friends and family who work with youth programs to help, etc. Peace and blessings to you, and thank you again for your thoughts!
@@NPX22 I disagree to.. Mental ilness is the real problem.. We have a 100s of thousands of kids suffering from poverty growing up sick parents strung out on drugs etc.. Its corruption.. Literally designed by white folks.. You cant just tell a kid make your own decisions in that condition.. They are victims of just being alive at this point.. I grew up in the ghetto the survival instincts you need to make it completely go against the regular civilized world. They are not eating right experiencing reality correctly nothing.. Its literally like a dead end for the kids coming out the projects an these poor areas with no opportunities or jobs an terrible school systems.. Its not a bad kid thing its a your a victim of mental an emotional abuse inside the community thing. Most survival instincts just to even make it out are self destructive in the real world.. Now you have a full grown young adult with no shot behaving dysfunctional with no communication skills or anything... So they lock them in a cage an say we kept giving them decisions .. In the normal world if a persons child is sick or has mental issues they get the correct help an love around Bradley immediately. Poor kid suffers they get sent to juvey an told their the problem.. smh twisted world
Thank you well said yeah people that have never had never worked in this type of environment chiming in and putting in their advice won’t even volunteer because a lot of these programs have volunteer services that if you think you know the solution come in and help but yet they want to give all the answers as a former correctional officer and teacher I totally agree with you
That Zachary kid breaks my heart but builds my spirit.. Get out of there kid you ain't belong in there.. you got that infectious smile that can touch people hearts... Dude take it from a guy who knows, helping others will help you.. Get out and show us the You that only you can keep hidden.. hes in there man he in your heart, you still got a good heart wear it on your sleeve nothing but you can break that... Let it out kid... Love hope God bless and peace from the southeast...
It truly breaks my heart when I here the kid say he causes problems just to get out of his room and feel pain he expressed because he’s in a room 23 hours a day he gets officer to spary him slam him all just to get out the room you needa let these kids out teach them to work out do gardening lifting up heavy stuff these kids aren’t monsters you can’t keep them locked up 23 hours a day ?!!!!!
The prison probably does not know what to do after locking up inmates. They don't do groups, unpredictable, disagreeable. All u can do is make room bigger with entertainment and fresh air
Man to the kids out there struggling through this kinda stuff there is a whole huge world out there and people who wana help if you can ask for help it’s worth it the life you can have is limitless if u don’t know you don’t know so be teachable realize you best thinking landed you in jail listen to people who have been there tryin to tell you what you need to do and listen it’s your only way outta that hell hole and your worth more then to be locked up
i wasted 22 months of my life locked up in juvie and placements prison was a possibility since i had 4 felonies it’s crazy i can always relate to these documentaries i remember watching some of these before i got locked up and i can assure you these videos cant do it justice only the people who have been in those 4 walls knows how it feels i started liking the pain too during restraints it became fun when i became comfortable in there and had my own program you have to be strong in there on the pods we all took meds and i saw everyone cry at least once that’s just how it was it took me awhile to adjust back to normal life and i was only away for a little less than 2 years that environment is not good for juvenile offenders it changes you regardless
Incarceration marks you whether you’re a juvenile or an adult detainee. I was locked up as an adult for almost a year and have to admit I was sometimes glad to be away from society. Almost like I needed to be restrained.
The crazy thing is the C.O. had and has the most beautiful parents in the world. His mother was an angle from heaven and his father is a very gentle man. C. Sweat I see you family. Beautiful mixture of your mother and father.
Some say that they deserve to be in there, but I have a little homie who just came from this type of facility, nd he didn't really do anything, nothing violent but his mom is a meth addict, dads not around, his sister is on drugs, little brother followed his foot steps, his grandma kiccs him out all the time, so sometimes they end up getting caught stealing for food, getting caught past curfew or drinking/smoking to cope with not having a functional family.. I always showed him love, I tried to be that big brother to him but at the end of the day, he wants his family. I always gave him a spot to sleep or just gave him company, go swimming nd walking out pits nd boxing, love him like a little brother, he recently got shot in the chest nd is still in the hospital. Some of these kids just need love.. Praying for my boy right now... So before you judge nd say they need to be there, understand that there's alot more behind to what got them there. Most of y'all speaking on things you never experienced or been around, typing on you 1000 dollar phone from your gated community..
I like the fact he explained his self very well with manners and that he wanna join the military and do something with his life. Prays your Way Dude. Hope u get in the military and excel… Stay Out trouble and stay focus 🙏🏿☑️💯
I have worked in a jail before and a lot of these people are bored as this young man said. They do need to be punished for their bad behavior, however they need to have constructive things to do that will help them
10:47 you can he’s well mannered yes ma’am no ma’am. A lot of these kids come from broken homes or from places where they’re abused or grow up watching abuse.
So sad to see these youngsters like this, do they really need all the chains? We all need to be more proactive to help them find a purpose in life worth living with some dignity. Thank you for reminding me of this.
These the one who killing and robbing. They need that prison treatment. Something to be scared of. So if they joking there, they’ll definitely be in prison soon.
@@turk2x hell yeah I get tired of people feeling sorry for these punks they have enough since to do what they do it’s attention that seems like that’s all they want “look at me” watch this I’m proud I’m not a guard in prison or a detention center
I agree maybe the warden at this facility may need to call on the warden at Louisiana and ask help for some advice to make this prison for juveniles to make things better
I just think these kids need not to be locked up 23 hours a day these kids need more education more love more responsibility some training programs don't lock him up 23 hours a day give him a break I think that's why they come back cuz they just want the attention they crave from home or elsewhere and thank you for the video peace
I always have such mixed feelings about these juvenile videos...On one hand no matter what they did to get in there, being there would suck. But if you do the crime then you get what you get. I mean I could have ended up in there when I was a young man but fortunately for me I never got caught.
11:20 this one here needs a one to one to take he’s mind off a lot of things … he’s definitely a practical person … I don’t think he wants to be the way he is but he can’t help but be that way
Crazy shit happens in Pendleton. Grew up with a lot of homies sent there and was locked up in county with dudes who been on the adult side. Place rough as fuck
Yeah, I agree. You can see the flash of mischief in him, and I don’t doubt he can be hot-tempered and scrappy in certain situations, but he’s also got a lot going for him. Seems level headed, articulate and possesses a certain charisma that could be channeled into something really positive. I hope he’s made it.
I have been locked up for juvenile detention center (I'm 14 now) the trauma his horrific I seen someone almost die in my pod it's absolutely terrifying and traumatic and if there are any kids in these comments please change your act
@@CalamariProductions they are still kids , teens are not adults yet , they shouldn’t be locked down like caged animals the juvenile system should be helping these kids learn from their mistakes and be getting them into activities outside their cell .
I went to a program at the age of 15 for over a year it may not seem long but I promise you it felt like forver coming no visitation bc i lived 7 hours away only calls ans letters but I promise u i do not regret going if i didnt i would prolly be in prison rn but it made my mind set to not to be in the mix of things jus sit back and observe💯
I live in Oregon. Where I’m from they treat the adults in the jail better than they treat the juveniles in juvie. I’ve been to both Marion county jail and Marion county jdc
That's juvenile it won't affect him going to military if it was adult jail then yes and I can tell by ur username and comment that ur not from America in America that's how it works idk how it works where ever u from
This is what happens when you can't afford or love your kid this is the result they should arrest the parents also for every time there kid acts out they should be held accountable also
Not entirely convinced that pyromaniac boy has changed his ways.... that smile and glint in his eye as he described his crime, boasting the buildings’ value no less, gives me the creeps....having personally suffered an arson attack myself....
@Raven Blue - so sorry to hear you suffered an arson attack. That must have been awful. The boy you mention, Zach, had a history of mental health and childhood trauma issues. We tried to follow up with him after he was released but lost touch. There is no indication from the DOC prisoner locator system that he was ever back in prison, but we have no other information on him at this time. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment.
@@CalamariProductions Institutionalising these kids doesn’t work. And it’s been that way for decades....all this does is prepare them for adult prison. Surely, we can do so much better by educating them with programs which continue on the outside....something they can achieve and feel proud, and a sense of belonging to a more meaningful community.
Hope Zach finds his way. You can tell he has mental health issues. Hope that doesn’t hurt him trying to get in military. And I hope he doesn’t turn back to his old ways being that’s where he fills comfort
@Spongebob Squarepants maya 1. your name is "spongebob squarepants maya" 2. everybody isnt innocent including you and im pretty sure based off what you did you get put in that exact area your not making sense LOL
@@bxi1547 You’re right and is a former juvenile justice correctional officer it all depends on what were the kid wants to change there are programs in place to help and I have seen where sometimes it works for individuals and sometimes it doesn’t it all depends on whatever that youth want to change and you have so many people chiming in that These institutions so cruel at in the day we didn’t make you commit the crime but you do have to do the time whatever that means
When I was 13 I went to a regional Youth detention center. One day they pulled me out my cell as they were conducting random searches. Apparently there was a half broken pencil in my windowsill that I had nothing to do with. Contraband! They said! They proceeded to lock me down for 72 hours over something that did not even belong to me nor did I know about!
@Chris Bishop - wow. That's harsh. Those are the kinds of things that some facilities have done away with but others haven't. And as you know, locking down a young person for that long usually does more harm than good. Thanks for sharing your own personal story. It's important for people to hear.
@@CalamariProductions thank you for your time in listening. That was a long time ago. But I still remember it like it was yesterday! The crazy thing is, out of all the places that I've ever been, boot camp, group homes, Wilderness therapy camps, they're all shut down now. Im 38 now and im living. These memories are inside.
This young man is misunderstood, he is damaged, this young man been through some type of sorrow and pain thats why he’s in that place but he is so well spoken, respectful to elders, he just need to be heard, im sorry this man is going through this 🥲 he is very sensitive i can tell and it had to come from his family environment, shit sad man cause he is living in HELL basically 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Ain't nothing new juvi adult and institution they know every way it ain't change , but shit still get in . He aint say nothing somebody didn't already know .
It seems to me that these kids need a lot of help. It's horrible that these kids have suffered so much trauma in their lives. I hope that they get all the help they need.

I hope you’re living a productive life now and as a correction officer everything was not supposed to be a big daycare for you you committed a crime and you should’ve done the time now if you weren’t in a facility that had tried to rehabilitate you and make you a better citizen I am truly sorry for that
Facts.
As a former Juvenile Corrections Officer and currently, a high school teacher, I can honestly say that it is not the fault of the "system." Most kids are given tons of chances to get it right before they end up in a situation such as this. It literally comes down to their own decisions. I have worked directly with murderers, car thieves, robbers, sex offenders, every level of criminal you can imagine. And it all comes down to the choices THEY make. I have been blessed enough to see some of the young ppl I have worked with turn their lives around, while others CHOSE to continue down the wrong path. It all starts at home, and if the parents and/or guardians can't get it right, this is the end result for many of our youth. There are ppl who are offering help constantly...but a lot of the younger generation is very content with staying stuck. I can only speak from my own personal encounters..in 2 different states, in 3 different professional roles, over the last 12 plus years. I see a lot of ppl saying what "needs" to happen..but what are you actually doing personally to help on your own end?
Exactly.
I disagree completely. You can't read chapter 5 before you read the first 4. A lot of people will deal with undiagnosed mental health, abuse and neglect, addictions, and losing friends their entire life up until that point. And maybe they don't see "help" like you do. You can only be let down so many times before you tell yourself you the only one that can make yourself get out of whatever your dealing with
@@NPX22 you have every right to disagree. However, I have firsthand helped many young people find their way despite the obstacles they have encountered during Chapters 1-4..so while I value your input, I can only reference what I have experienced with the hundreds of kids I have worked with over the years. I have a special place in my heart for them, and I still have bonds with them to this day. My initial post was referencing the individuals who CHOOSE to continue down the wrong path for themselves. I have seen both sides of the spectrum. I have served as Teacher, Mentor, Counselor, and in many cases, the only adult who they felt cares or could be trusted. And, I am thankful for the success stories of the young folks who have evolved past their setbacks. But, it's time that we as a society stop making excuses for ppl's actions and figure out ways together to provide help and solutions. I have friends and family who work with youth programs to help, etc. Peace and blessings to you, and thank you again for your thoughts!
@@NPX22 I disagree to.. Mental ilness is the real problem.. We have a 100s of thousands of kids suffering from poverty growing up sick parents strung out on drugs etc.. Its corruption.. Literally designed by white folks.. You cant just tell a kid make your own decisions in that condition.. They are victims of just being alive at this point.. I grew up in the ghetto the survival instincts you need to make it completely go against the regular civilized world. They are not eating right experiencing reality correctly nothing.. Its literally like a dead end for the kids coming out the projects an these poor areas with no opportunities or jobs an terrible school systems.. Its not a bad kid thing its a your a victim of mental an emotional abuse inside the community thing. Most survival instincts just to even make it out are self destructive in the real world.. Now you have a full grown young adult with no shot behaving dysfunctional with no communication skills or anything... So they lock them in a cage an say we kept giving them decisions .. In the normal world if a persons child is sick or has mental issues they get the correct help an love around Bradley immediately. Poor kid suffers they get sent to juvey an told their the problem.. smh twisted world
Thank you well said yeah people that have never had never worked in this type of environment chiming in and putting in their advice won’t even volunteer because a lot of these programs have volunteer services that if you think you know the solution come in and help but yet they want to give all the answers as a former correctional officer and teacher I totally agree with you
That Zachary kid breaks my heart but builds my spirit.. Get out of there kid you ain't belong in there.. you got that infectious smile that can touch people hearts... Dude take it from a guy who knows, helping others will help you.. Get out and show us the You that only you can keep hidden.. hes in there man he in your heart, you still got a good heart wear it on your sleeve nothing but you can break that... Let it out kid... Love hope God bless and peace from the southeast...
Went from being in and out of Juvi from 13-17 too now watching videos about it again 🤣🤣life is wild dawg
@KYNG MAZI - curious if your experience was anything like the videos you see on our channel?
“Wanna see how fast I could run?”😂😂
That dude has some serious patience. There is no way in hell I could deal with all that yelling and immature bull sh.....
It truly breaks my heart when I here the kid say he causes problems just to get out of his room and feel pain he expressed because he’s in a room 23 hours a day he gets officer to spary him slam him all just to get out the room you needa let these kids out teach them to work out do gardening lifting up heavy stuff these kids aren’t monsters you can’t keep them locked up 23 hours a day ?!!!!!
The prison probably does not know what to do after locking up inmates. They don't do groups, unpredictable, disagreeable. All u can do is make room bigger with entertainment and fresh air
a seg unit is usually a response to prior misconduct.
u would not usually be in seg for ur full sentence.
Lol you feel bad for them like they don’t deserve it if you don’t like prison/jail then be good simple.
@@Celestialnighthawk your clearly white
12 years old when I was locked up in secure units 😢 Kids have to grow up fast and turn off all emotions
Man to the kids out there struggling through this kinda stuff there is a whole huge world out there and people who wana help if you can ask for help it’s worth it the life you can have is limitless if u don’t know you don’t know so be teachable realize you best thinking landed you in jail listen to people who have been there tryin to tell you what you need to do and listen it’s your only way outta that hell hole and your worth more then to be locked up
"So I get the pain I want, and I'm happy"
Damn, someone tell this kid that he has value.
i wasted 22 months of my life locked up in juvie and placements prison was a possibility since i had 4 felonies it’s crazy i can always relate to these documentaries i remember watching some of these before i got locked up and i can assure you these videos cant do it justice only the people who have been in those 4 walls knows how it feels i started liking the pain too during restraints it became fun when i became comfortable in there and had my own program you have to be strong in there on the pods we all took meds and i saw everyone cry at least once that’s just how it was it took me awhile to adjust back to normal life and i was only away for a little less than 2 years that environment is not good for juvenile offenders it changes you regardless
🙏🏾
🙏🏽
Incarceration marks you whether you’re a juvenile or an adult detainee. I was locked up as an adult for almost a year and have to admit I was sometimes glad to be away from society. Almost like I needed to be restrained.
8:04 "would you stop changing clothes your confusing me" LOL
9:00 she was lowkey dissin him😂😂
The crazy thing is the C.O. had and has the most beautiful parents in the world. His mother was an angle from heaven and his father is a very gentle man. C. Sweat I see you family. Beautiful mixture of your mother and father.
Great documentary, especially like the live unfiltered- with no narration, camara of life in this facility.
7:00 “WHERE THE FUCK MY HOMEWORK AT” 😭😭😭😂
good documentary.
@Dominusando - Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
Some say that they deserve to be in there, but I have a little homie who just came from this type of facility, nd he didn't really do anything, nothing violent but his mom is a meth addict, dads not around, his sister is on drugs, little brother followed his foot steps, his grandma kiccs him out all the time, so sometimes they end up getting caught stealing for food, getting caught past curfew or drinking/smoking to cope with not having a functional family.. I always showed him love, I tried to be that big brother to him but at the end of the day, he wants his family. I always gave him a spot to sleep or just gave him company, go swimming nd walking out pits nd boxing, love him like a little brother, he recently got shot in the chest nd is still in the hospital. Some of these kids just need love.. Praying for my boy right now... So before you judge nd say they need to be there, understand that there's alot more behind to what got them there. Most of y'all speaking on things you never experienced or been around, typing on you 1000 dollar phone from your gated community..
I like the fact he explained his self very well with manners and that he wanna join the military and do something with his life. Prays your Way Dude. Hope u get in the military and excel… Stay Out trouble and stay focus 🙏🏿☑️💯
Zack could be a great person! He needs love and a little tweaking. But he has amazing potential
I have worked in a jail before and a lot of these people are bored as this young man said. They do need to be punished for their bad behavior, however they need to have constructive things to do that will help them
@besshall9852 - well said.
Yup like picking up a shovel and wheelbarrow
Pulling for Zach, hope and Pray he is doing well!!!!
I love those doors. Both a latch and a key lock.
It blows my mind that this is the system we use for these kids. 🤦♂️
It's all about the choices we make.
Every move and every word we say depends on what's going to happen next.
Dyke
🔥
That’s a crazy thought itself and it blows me everytime I try to think about itu
@@Otmduk just don't over think partna .. Take it easy and try to get your mindset occupied on smtn Good .. it's a crazy world 🌎
said "I changed my ways and I'm ready to go out where I belong in society"
also
"I tore up my room 2 weeks ago..."
That no pain kid is a typical inmate - he has to keep up the bravado.
then he says “i stapled myself” like bro i did that in 7th grade for a bet 😂😂
I hope Zack is well. 💛
Please show this to children in school so they can see that crime don't pay
I agree with you!!!
10:47 you can he’s well mannered yes ma’am no ma’am. A lot of these kids come from broken homes or from places where they’re abused or grow up watching abuse.
Good job Zack!
They need structure and workshops to better themselves and intense theraapy locking them in like this is not going to better themselves
@Cynthia David - very true.
Look at him smile. He is proud of his destructive nature.
So sad to see these youngsters like this, do they really need all the chains? We all need to be more proactive to help them find a purpose in life worth living with some dignity. Thank you for reminding me of this.
These the one who killing and robbing. They need that prison treatment. Something to be scared of. So if they joking there, they’ll definitely be in prison soon.
@@turk2x hell yeah I get tired of people feeling sorry for these punks they have enough since to do what they do it’s attention that seems like that’s all they want “look at me” watch this I’m proud I’m not a guard in prison or a detention center
These might be dangerous kids or very bad bad kids so yes.
They need chains to protect the staff. I've seen videos of staff like this being attacked and even killed.
the shackles are to prevent an escape attempt
bro flipped him off😂😂 1:40
Places like these make you a monster
I agree maybe the warden at this facility may need to call on the warden at Louisiana and ask help for some advice to make this prison for juveniles to make things better
I just think these kids need not to be locked up 23 hours a day these kids need more education more love more responsibility some training programs don't lock him up 23 hours a day give him a break I think that's why they come back cuz they just want the attention they crave from home or elsewhere and thank you for the video peace
Every juvi is different I had 2 hours of freetime in mine
Nah, throw them in with the adults, fresh meat, Virgin as'z 😳🥺👍
@@2cautious i had 7 in morning till 8 in the afternoon they would take me to class all day
This shit make you worse it’s not rehabilitation 23 hours lockdown is no joke mentally
I highly doubt the kids in here care about education
Amazing content 🙏🏽
Whats amazing bout dis fool
Gonna watch this later ❤️
I always have such mixed feelings about these juvenile videos...On one hand no matter what they did to get in there, being there would suck. But if you do the crime then you get what you get. I mean I could have ended up in there when I was a young man but fortunately for me I never got caught.
11:20 this one here needs a one to one to take he’s mind off a lot of things … he’s definitely a practical person … I don’t think he wants to be the way he is but he can’t help but be that way
YOUNG MAN I 🙏 U GET OUT AND GET YOUR LIFE TOGETHER TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF,
Crazy shit happens in Pendleton. Grew up with a lot of homies sent there and was locked up in county with dudes who been on the adult side. Place rough as fuck
Isolation isn’t good for Anyone over a prolonged amount of time. I hope our country keeps moving forward in well-being/health improvements.
Poor thing he just wants to feel something. I think exercise would be a good outlet for him. We’re rooting for you young man I hope all is well ❤️
Zach would make a great marine . I hope he gets out and pursues his dreams of joining the military .
Yeah, I agree. You can see the flash of mischief in him, and I don’t doubt he can be hot-tempered and scrappy in certain situations, but he’s also got a lot going for him. Seems level headed, articulate and possesses a certain charisma that could be channeled into something really positive. I hope he’s made it.
@@camban they don’t take felons at least when I tried they didn’t
mans was like dont take my lotion lmao
I have been locked up for juvenile detention center (I'm 14 now) the trauma his horrific I seen someone almost die in my pod it's absolutely terrifying and traumatic and if there are any kids in these comments please change your act
what did you do to get locked up?
He got lotion in his cell. He getting ready for adult prison
Anytime they have film cruise inside these prisons you can best bet none of the abuse that guards commit happen while they are there
My grandson is in a medium facility i pray its not like this 🙏 but daily i will pray 🙏
Bro 23 hour lockdown ? That shit is crazy
@Bill Smith - agreed.
@@CalamariProductions they are still kids , teens are not adults yet , they shouldn’t be locked down like caged animals the juvenile system should be helping these kids learn from their mistakes and be getting them into activities outside their cell .
This wild
Interesting to watch
The cop is so nice to the boys it seams he has a connection to them
I went to a program at the age of 15 for over a year it may not seem long but I promise you it felt like forver coming no visitation bc i lived 7 hours away only calls ans letters but I promise u i do not regret going if i didnt i would prolly be in prison rn but it made my mind set to not to be in the mix of things jus sit back and observe💯
This is crazy they need to be in dorms with over 30 to 50 officers watching them all day instead of just preparing them for adult jail
He’s clearly traumatized from doing them 1st 2 year omg. They must have inflicted so much pain on him he likes pain now he’s numb
1:41 😂 knew he was on tv
I didn’t know you knew sign language LMAO 🤣
He is sick please don't let him out. That boi really need help
Lol they can’t just hold him eventually they have to release him
I live in Oregon. Where I’m from they treat the adults in the jail better than they treat the juveniles in juvie. I’ve been to both Marion county jail and Marion county jdc
We do not pay these officers enough!
Hes not going in the military with a history of arson nor violence
That's juvenile it won't affect him going to military if it was adult jail then yes and I can tell by ur username and comment that ur not from America in America that's how it works idk how it works where ever u from
Dat nigga Needa b in da military he’ll be something
@@QuayReezy 😂😂
This is what happens when you can't afford or love your kid this is the result they should arrest the parents also for every time there kid acts out they should be held accountable also
Not entirely convinced that pyromaniac boy has changed his ways.... that smile and glint in his eye as he described his crime, boasting the buildings’ value no less, gives me the creeps....having personally suffered an arson attack myself....
@Raven Blue - so sorry to hear you suffered an arson attack. That must have been awful. The boy you mention, Zach, had a history of mental health and childhood trauma issues. We tried to follow up with him after he was released but lost touch. There is no indication from the DOC prisoner locator system that he was ever back in prison, but we have no other information on him at this time. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment.
He seemed proud of how he was the best at destroying his room.
@@CalamariProductions Institutionalising these kids doesn’t work. And it’s been that way for decades....all this does is prepare them for adult prison. Surely, we can do so much better by educating them with programs which continue on the outside....something they can achieve and feel proud, and a sense of belonging to a more meaningful community.
Hope Zach finds his way. You can tell he has mental health issues. Hope that doesn’t hurt him trying to get in military. And I hope he doesn’t turn back to his old ways being that’s where he fills comfort
4:02 why he yellin?? 😂

It’s so sad to see these kids behave like this
What if there is a fire, what is the protocol for making sure they don't die with all those locks
The time for rehab was when they were 5-6 years old!
Such an evil justice system!!
For punishing criminals? What are they supposed to do reward them for bad behavior?
@@bxi1547 bruh get from under the rock u live in!! These are supposed to rehabilitate kids so they can go back in society better not worse
@@bxi1547 You’re right and is a former juvenile justice correctional officer it all depends on what were the kid wants to change there are programs in place to help and I have seen where sometimes it works for individuals and sometimes it doesn’t it all depends on whatever that youth want to change and you have so many people chiming in that These institutions so cruel at in the day we didn’t make you commit the crime but you do have to do the time whatever that means
are you kidding me these little shits need to be taught
When I was 13 I went to a regional Youth detention center. One day they pulled me out my cell as they were conducting random searches. Apparently there was a half broken pencil in my windowsill that I had nothing to do with. Contraband! They said! They proceeded to lock me down for 72 hours over something that did not even belong to me nor did I know about!
@Chris Bishop - wow. That's harsh. Those are the kinds of things that some facilities have done away with but others haven't. And as you know, locking down a young person for that long usually does more harm than good. Thanks for sharing your own personal story. It's important for people to hear.
@@CalamariProductions thank you for your time in listening. That was a long time ago. But I still remember it like it was yesterday! The crazy thing is, out of all the places that I've ever been, boot camp, group homes, Wilderness therapy camps, they're all shut down now. Im 38 now and im living. These memories are inside.
This young man is misunderstood, he is damaged, this young man been through some type of sorrow and pain thats why he’s in that place but he is so well spoken, respectful to elders, he just need to be heard, im sorry this man is going through this 🥲 he is very sensitive i can tell and it had to come from his family environment, shit sad man cause he is living in HELL basically 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
They said no lotion,man this world crazy boy skin be lookn like alligator skin when he free
Little do he know he just snitching telling how y’all get stuff inside of the cells
Ain't nothing new juvi adult and institution they know every way it ain't change , but shit still get in . He aint say nothing somebody didn't already know .
I was locked up when I was 8 years old for 10 years
To have to invent tiny little handcuffs because the normal sized ones are just too big... Just sad.
I was in this as a juvenile 06-08
Good middle finger 🤣🤣
"OPEN THAT CELL LET THAT BOY OUTTA JAIL, HE FROM MEXICO"😭
