I was in and out of prison from the age of 15 till 21. Until my daughter was born. I swore id never go back after having my first child. And now im 44 and never have been back. Its amazing how having a daughter or a son can make you grow up real quick
Glad to hear that sir 😊
I'm proud of you for changing your whole life around, mister.👍
What’s truly amazing is how people don’t.
Great i was similar way but with alcohol..used to drink way too much until my beautiful daughter..
What a beautiful change i have in my life
@@alexie832 Thankyou
The fact that we get free documentaries on TH-cam by Infographics Show is truly a gift 👍
True!
Your going to ruin it now
Some of the facts are actually more opinion...
No were al paying his bills by watching
“Free documentaries”? You are spending your WiFi/internet and time watching infographic. Yeah, it is soooo free.
Rest in Peace George Stinney. No child should have had to endure that. He was in the electric chair for 8 minutes before he actually passed and was later found to be innocent. Horrible terrible story
So sad. What a nightmare.
And no one learned a thing
I think death penalty in itself is something barbaric. I'm really happy I live in Europe, where it has long been abolished. I think I would live in fear in a place where some corrupt officer or a mistrial could get me to the deathrow for no reason.
And not just any child, but anyone for that matter
That statement is SOOO true! ... "The rich make mistakes, the poor go to prison! 💯😢
People talk about 'rehabilitation' and giving prisoners a skill they can use on the outside, but the fact is, most people would never dream of giving a convicted felon a job. I remember a story of a guy who spent 25 years inside, and was a model prisoner; earned two Masters degrees (computer programming and design) inside, and couldnt find a job outside other than shoveling sh** on a farm. Its no wonder that some of these guys creep back to old habits. Cant be a productive member of society if that society wont allow them to.
Apparently he didn't learn enough or well in prison. He could work freelance remotely and made a killing... no pun intended... lol
My son is a convicted felon and has never had a problem getting a job. The trouble is keeping it. Drug dealing apparently pays a whole lot more than working daily.
Times are changing. There's plenty of companies giving these guys opportunities. PepsiCo being one. We have guys with ankle bracelets on that go back to jail every night. We have a guy that did 15 years - for killing a guy - working in Sales and Merchandise.
Another part of the justice system in some states are ridiculously unfair and that's the horrendous 3 strikes policy. No matter what you've done if you're put in front of a judge for a 3rd time if found guilty you get sentenced to life and nobody suffers more through this than people of colour, societies minorities and those well below the poverty line.
I have a friend who is a felon on probation and he has 3 jobs
I was 45 years old no record Pulled over by crooked hernando county sheriffs beaten and jailed. I took a plea cause I couldn’t miss work. It can happen to anyone. Trust me

@Amy Martin so they locked YOU up for beatin some guy who essentially committed a home invasion? Where the F do you live!?!?!?
@@blake102989 canada probably. You're supposed to hide. If you use "too much force" it is considered assault, and that would've been with a weapon. That said, there was a story of a kid that graduated In a town near me, they got drunk on graduation day, wandered in a backyard, and some guy ran him down and smashed his head in with a baseball bat. The guy got 4yrs, the kid is a vegetable for the rest of his life. Maybe that's why they have that here.
I've been to prison 4 times between ages 19 and 24 always drug and alcohol related. Then I would get out, be on probation, fail a urine test and be right back in. It is definitely a revolving door and the rehabilitation services just weren't there unless you were wealthy. I had to figure out my addiction problem on my on to break the cycle but I'm now 41, sober and proud father and full time employee. If more resources were available then many would be able to accomplish with help what I had to do on my own.
Very proud of you ! And yes I know a lot of guys would refuse probation because they knew they would fail and get the max anyways. I honestly regret taking the plea deal because I'm about to violate probation if I can't flush my system fast enough.
Stay strong brother!
@Mouse Thanks! I really appreciate it! Good luck I hope you figure that out in time!
@@hojocollider5276 💪
It took you FOUR prison terms to realize that drugs & alcohol were what you had the problem with? I don't think a lack of resources or a "revolving door" that was the problem for you.
Before I knew I had PTSD and bipolar, I was working part time while attending two universities full time. I had a medicine-induced psychosis accompanied with amnesia after being pulled over for a stop sign 🛑 violation. I black out and become non-compliant. I never punched pushed or touched either of the two officers. Although they pepper sprayed my right eye so close that it’s permanently bruised. I had both of the cops on my back while walking down the street. I come to and realize omgosh what is happening and I have a panic attack. I eventually try to pass out but can’t. When I wake up, I’m being arrested and I’m clueless about what just happened. Even though a doctor proved it was due to medicine, one of the universities I was attending kicked me out. They charged me with a felony assault on a police officer. Although a doctor determined it was medicine induced psychosis, I had to take a plea instead of fight for the truth because it was too much of a risk if I lost. I have no previous record. I’m a law-abiding veteran and man of God. The system is rigged.
@Clark Harris thank you. I was dealing with civilian doctors when that incident occurred. The VA has been taking good care of me. They have been there every step of the way and I wouldn’t be able to be where I am without their help. That being said, psychiatric care must be carefully monitored. You have to advocate for yourself. Good doctors typically understand when you have good reasons for declining certain treatment. It’s just learning those reasons where it gets tricky. There are many resources. TH-cam one of is the best. As far as the meds during the incident; a mix of Provigil, 7 days off Klonopin, & 3 days on Zoloft.
@Clark Harris ikr my story is real though. I had a friend on Effexor and she had several mental break downs while on it.
I'm sorry this happen to you, thank you for your service
That's unfortunate. How's it going now?
This same thing happened to me. I was mickyed (given some synthetic acid in my coffee) and went psychotic seeing dead people and thinking I had blood all over me. I got arrested, put in jail and lost my job. The people who slipped me acid dropped the trespassing charges but I lost my $200,000 a year job over seas.
The police roughed me up and sexually harrassed me. I was terrified.
This was in the US.
I served 5 years in federal prison and can tell you it was a wild ride for sure. So much you have to learn and take in. Not a place to be for anyone. Was interesting and informative to watch. Great video

I think more prisons should grow their own foods. I also think they need to teach the men & women life skills, if they don’t already have a trade or profession, so when they get out of jail they can get a good job. Teach the people how to be prominent citizens of their country also.
That makes too much sense
Too bad most people don't Hire convicted criminals especially felons
The Prison I Was In We Farmed Most Of Our Food, Got a High School Diploma, Multiple Credits, Took Culinary, Public Speaking, Critical Thinking, Art Class and So On.

Question? Why would they put an inmate in segregation due to added criminal reasons without explanation?
It's a matter of whether or not the inmate is a danger to other officers and other inmates, if they have proven to not be able to control themselves when it comes to certain criminal actions, they have to be on lockdown basically until they're lockdown status expires

Maybe they were once a prisoner so this made them remember their bad memories. Therefore, they dislike it.
Wait, seriously?
@@Essakturbo1106 no, it's a joke
In the UK there have been cases where convictions have been overturned after decades, compensation has been awarded and the ex prisoner has been subsequently billed for food and lodgings for the duration of their incarceration as a way for the state to claw back the compensation money. Its absolute madness.
That happens in the USA also. Happens in the state of Connecticut
That's sickening, wtf!
I think thats not about the justice system, its just to show that sometimes people are weak and cannot reason for themselves, but maybe in those cases they need to be helped. I mean why agree to pay for prison food when no prisoner is ever required to. People should learn to be strong and stand their ground, if they did, perhaps they would not have gone to prison in the first place.
@@Binahx86 stand their ground? Sure buddy, that's totally gonna rule you as innocent and get outta jail. Are you weed? Lol
@@pythondrink Are you weed ??? Ive stood up to the police and defended myself, so i know that it works. If you behave like a victim, there is only one thing you are getting, victimization.
It’s what you make out of it. There are times I want to give up, but the memories of being in Prison reel me back to reality. Life is horrible right now, but being able to go outside whenever I want and do whatever I want beats waking up every morning at 3 am to get ready for chow and watching my surroundings every single step I take. I learned a lot there, and it helped me become a better man ultimately. Like I said before, it's what you make out of it. Just because you're a felon doesn't mean you can't get a great job. Keep your head up and stay concentrated.
Ay lets go man, that’s the strong mindset 💪

I was really surprised how accurate all of this is. Great job researching and spreading legit information.
People always say that some criminals are “so awful” they deserve to be “locked underneath the prison”. Then it finally happens and all of a sudden it’s “inhumane”. There’s just no pleasing you people 😂

Hard time for drug abuse is one of the most absurd aspects of modern society. We punish people for addiction
Nobody is in jail specifically for being addicted
Well there's always the option to not use drugs in the first place
@@stevenmaxwell513 That is true, but the U.S. Military has been a gateway to the use of drugs for many, many years. Can be documented as far back as the Civil War & probably before that. More recently, in the civilian world, the involvement of the M.D.'s over prescribing pain medication (opioids) that were given in good faith but get out of hand very rapidly and fostered by the pharmaceutical companies.
@@stevenmaxwell513 well there you have it; the solution to the world's drug problem. If only you had come forward with this information sooner
It’s hard to get off when you have nothing to come back to but an unstable environment that allows it. Plus some people grow up around that environment so that’s most of what they have known. It’s extremely hard to get away from those things when it’s been in bedded in your mind from childhood or from being around it a long time. We need more institutions and programs that could understand that and come up with better solutions than just “ Stay here awhile and then go back”.
a lot of the reason why there's so many innocent convictions is that those on trail are laymen and are stressed and pressured to take a plea bargain with little idea of what theyre agreeing to. it sounds like a good deal, they sure push hard to you that this is the case making you believe whatever evidence they have against you is highly damning. its manipulation on a high order. the courts of course dont care as this all lets them clear more cares quicker and many have huge backlogs.

There is definitely a very big difference between jail and prison when it comes to personal safety. From my experience for the most part people in jail are still fighting there cases so there somewhat trying to stay out of trouble, in prison their court is done and sentences are set.

I'm so glad that I live in a northern European country. I'm not saying that I'd probably go to prison but it's still a good thing to know. Being locked up is punishment enough. I don't feel like people should focus on punishing even more and instead focus on actual rehabilitation.
I fully believe that the American prison system doesnt want actual rehabilitation. Our recidivism rate is SO HIGH. Where else are corporations going to find cheap labor?
Spot on
In the 1970s, Dem states in particular in the US actually had a lot of prison programs, job training, education/classes, therapy, more lax conditions including just being there at night, etc to “rehabilitate people.”
Then, someone did a study to show how much less likely the prisoners who went through rehab were to commit another crime, and it found….it didn’t help at all - the return to prison rate was the same in prisons with or without big rehabilitation programs. The problem with rehabilitation is….there is no program that consistently shows a measurable benefit, despite many tries. If it did show it saved money by reducing return to prison rates or lowered crime, it would be used more - but life is messy and much more complex than “evil corporations.”
"Where else are corporations going to find cheap labor?"
Haiti comes to mind. Well, after China that is.
You got it.
and rightfully so prison isnt for rehab its not a holiday a place u can go for free rent food and education its PUNISHMENT theyre there being punished
I already know everything I need to know about prison from prison Mike
I lived in a small town and worked in a bigger city about 30 miles away.
At work I met a guy who lived in my town but as part of his prole he was not allowed to drive. He was getting a ride to work, but it was really inconvenient for the person driving him so as we worked at the same place I offered to take him back and forth if he could get onto my shift.
As it happened we talked to the bosses and they needed a welder on the night shift, so I ended up going onto his shift (I prefer working nights anyway.
I knew the guy had been in prison and was on parole meaning he had to maintain certain conditions to meet his parole requirements, such as he had to remain employed. I don't think he had any skills, he was a general laborer in the shop I was working at.
He worked hard and was liked at the shop, but the police (especially the local small town cops) constantly harassed him, and now they associated me with him, they started harassing me as well..
We got pulled over about 60% of the times he was with me, and I'm pretty sure the only reason we were not pulled over every time was became no cops saw us. No matter how careful I was about infractions I'd still get pulled over.
It was so frustrating. I would have liked to have known what he did, but he never told me, and I thought it would be rude to ask. If he wanted me to know he would have said. But the harassment he received from the police helped me to see why people go back so often.
My bf is doing 28 to life for something he didn’t do. Literally no proof his daughters mom accused him to get ride of him. She’s always trying to get him locked up for anything. His lawyer died a month before trail
Private prisons are way better than centralized prisons
Drug addicts are not criminals instead of sending them to prison they need to send them to a mandatory rehab center for two-3 years after a year they can go off campus with weekly drug tests while they get a job and get steady income on the third year they get tested monthly and on the last 6 months the rehab center helps them apply for apartments and bank loans and help people back into the world to live on there own

My dad is from Ecuador. He was in America for 30 years and been in and out of jail and always said that American jail is much more comfortable than Ecuadorian jail. He never went with an gang.

But it’s mostly who can over power each other and because he’s was like 50+ they thought they can take him down. But once my dad beat up men they decided it was best to stay friends.

@@bekahgraham3951 , that's just horrible. I don't understand how they could possibly justify not looking into literally every single case she had even the slightest involvement with. That shows just how little they care about innocent people being in prison/jail/juvie. I don't understand how these monsters can even sleep at night or look at themselves in the mirror. It's just ridiculous and sad. Who knows how many lives she ruined while she was terrorizing innocent children. Also, what a piece of trash/pos. She deserves to be in prison if what you commented is 100% true ( and I have no reason to believe it isn't true because our system has some real issues that need to be dealt with NOW). It takes a special kind of pos to terrorize innocent children, especially if it was really over their skin color.
And will be much worse after 'believe all women'.
The same music loop for 30mins was not a good idea, that’s said I love this channel
2020 was covid. Lots of pent up anger from visits being brought to a hault. I remember the state of depression my husband was in. The tablet kiosk broke for about 3 months and we had no visits. He gets 1 , 10 min phone call every other day, as he is in a max security facility. He started to go nuts. And so did everyone else.
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
Rich people literally spend less time in jail for the same crimes. 100% a fact
Mate, I just served 19 years in a Victorian Max security prison, Barwon HMP. You are spot on, very good homework.
I have never served time in England but I have served in Northern Ireland, can I ask you a question mate?
Wow, that is a very long time. What’s the first thing you did upon release?
@@r.c.l2569 I'm ashamed to say but, McDonald's
@@michealradd264 McDonald's is a great answer!!
Also would you share a story or two?
@@michealradd264 That's what I always crave when I'm locked up. I always want a McDonalds hot apple pie with peanut butter on it ahaha
You know the amount of stuff infographics looks at I have a feeling they are on a watch list
they forgot to mention when they use a kettle and boiling water with suger mixed in and throw in in a persons face they then often throw a tea towel on the persons bubbling face so when there in the med wing they have to basically peal your face off when removing the dish towel so inhumane when i seen that happen i have never forgot it prisons need to make more effort like prisons in skandanavia as most bad things in prison can be prevented easily when looking at there prison system to the uk
The reason inmates who get out of prison/jail usually end up going back is because of the lack of opportunities to reenter society for me a prime example of that was my own mother in the 90s she went to jail for writing checks she turned herself in and paid all the money back in the state of arkansas and they STILL gave her a felony and locked her up for it after she got out over 20years later she still cant get a job because of that one incident in her younger years she has tried many times only thing that kept her from going back is her duty to provide for her kids as best she could
I know right, it's really messed up, they make it so hard to live with convictions then act surprised when you commit another crime, not to sound cliché but the system really is broken.
some states will let u get an expungement
@@janehyden1652 Expunge a felony that someone was guilty and spent 20 years incarcerated. I seriously doubt that it was a few bad checks used at a grocery store to buy baby food.
It happens, my wife is unfortunately in this same exact situation
Man if momma didn't do wrong in the first place imagine how good would have had it. Maybe you gotta look in the mirror momma and stop blaming everyone else for your own choices
According to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) from 2018 to 2019, there was a 19% decline in reported serious crimes, with 880,000 fewer people victimized in 2019. From 2018 to 2019 the rate of property crime decreased 6%. This is a decline of 6.8 victimizations per 1,000 households.
The video is legit. I did 20 years and just wanted to see what this video was talking about... Like if he really knew what was up. Well he got some good information cuz he was on point. good video
These videos are tough to watch which means they would be great to share with someone going down a dark path,
10:49 A Foldable knife? And others had kinder eggs? That's like 4 inches or less. LOL
In the county I live in, in New England, has a 71% recidivism rate. Trust me, I know. My shortest turn around was 11 days. Thankfully I’m one of the few who broke the cycle around here.
Thanks for adding the ur and maladives
I notice that the do's and don't list of prison life also apply to high school
Every time I try and make pruno it just tastes like urine after a couple days and my cell mate laughs when I drink it.
@Mystic it sounds like hes in prison rn
Nobody told me about Grindr and I thought prison would be a nice way to meet people. Color me embarrassed. The food is ok
So you've drank urine before to be able to compare what tastes like urine??
@@frankie3grx7 when I was a kid I got stung by a jellyfish and my grandfather peed in my mouth to make the pain go away. I’ll always remember that taste. Thanks for the question 🙂

Space...The final frontier.

Inmates died?....GOOD!!@!
I love how the animated people are like: 😁most of the time
Prisons are designed now for profitability not rehabilitation / correction. Right down to the $20 flip flops and $20 'prison rules' booklet you have to pay for on inception. Sadly, esp in domestic situations it's easy to have someone arrested, incarcerated and then forced into high lawyer fees to get them safely released.
I made 0.85 cents per day amd got paid monthly. Phone calls were 0.25 cents a minute so I worked my fingers to the bone just to talk once a week to my 8 year old daughter
Totally unacceptable. America is so f***ed. I'm sorry for your experience.
@@vice.nor.virtue he is a criminal after all
@@bitlashripad8721 thank you for proving my point
I love how they just briefly talk about a case of an innocent person in China.
There's alot of innocent people imprisoned in China. Basically anyone who speaks out is imprisoned.
That's a crime in china. For us it's innocence. For them it's not.
@@MechEngineer37 Innocence is the same in every country.
Just because an evil dictator says something, doesn't make it right.
@@joefrog1996 innocence is defined by someone who is innocent of something. With it being a crime in China to speak out, speaking out is a crime. Therefore not innocent. I'm not sure you really know what you are talking about.
@@MechEngineer37 The Chinese government made it illegal to speak out against itself.
Don't you see the issue? The government has full and complete power to imprison anyone they want who says anything negative about it.
Innocence is defined by morals, not dictators.
@@joefrog1996 nah. If it's a crime and they commit it, then they aren't innocent.
I always knew drug related offenses were common but 46%? That’s insane! No wonder private prisons lobby against decriminalizing them. It’s a shame because if we used the taxpayer money that would’ve gone to the prisons for better mental health and treatment programs for low income people we could probably see some progress.
Great 👍 show thank you.
if school taught like this i would never leave
I've been watching the channel for 3 years :)
This narrator got more words in 30 minutes than anyone in TH-cam history, Bravo!
great documentary well researched
At the prison I was in for a couple years there was a small wooded area across the road. They had set up a sling-shot btwn 2 of the trees closest to the Rec area and would wait till the patrol vehicle passed by. They would then sling taped up 2ltr bottles full of contraband over the fences and they had folks waiting to grab them and run them inside before the guards did their rounds. Dunno how long it went on for but, the ones on the outside were eventually spotted and the guards found the Sling-shot they left behind when they booked it. I heard about it from one of the guards that I had gotten chatty with. lol
Nowadays it's drones.
This wasn't about being in prison, it was about convictions and sentencing.
I want to thank you for getting me through my chores.
When I went to prison for the first and last time, I was expecting my head to be ripped off and used as a football. But my experience was a lot better than what I thought it was. I spoke to a few people in there and they were very nice actually. (This is the prisoners I'm talking about, not the guards)
I worked at a maximum security state prison in the US for three years. Most of the things in this video about prison itself are true, however there are a few stereotypical myths in here as well. Other than that, great video! 👍
For Example
@Several shades Lighter than gray What About Republicans??
@@amytattersfield2017 Last time I checked Republicans aren’t a race
@Several shades Lighter than gray did you reread what you typed before posting it...? Um, there are heaps and heaps of white low-income people in jail... I mean to go back to what you said, most are PoCs, but not all, so yeah, that means white people. Also, at the end of the day, the only color the justice system sees is green; more often than not, the more you have, no matter what race said person is, the more help you'll get.
@Several shades Lighter than gray oooof. well, technically speaking, certain races commit more crimes than others. ALSO, it is actually statistically accurate that if it were a black child, they wouldnt have a "daddy" to miss. but let me guess, thats racist ypipo?
There’s an entire ecosystem built up around this. Imagine, we eliminate DUI cases by encouraging people to use ride sharing. The public is safer and nobody goes to jail. Then the lawyers who make $5,000 per case suddenly have no work. That’s one example of many….
Funny how marijuana legalization would accomplish the same thing (accounted for nearly 50% of all jail/prison offenses at one point)
Do you really think the public is safer. Yup ok whatever makes you sleep better.
i listen to infographics when i try to sleep
That prison in Finland has a very good point to what they're doing. Allowing prisoners to go to another less harsh prison before they are released that it's more like dorm rooms can help a person better acclimate themselves to society after being locked up for many many years to decades
Always before sleep watch infographics 😌 for better sleep 😆.
The crazy part is that so many people do time because they didn't have money to pay for a lawyer to help them. For ex my brother who is to be released next month...he didn't do the crime but he served 10 for it.
Did he serve 10 years or 10 months? Either way brutal that happening to your brother, glad he got released and hope he’s doing good
It's $5 a cup for pruno in prison, mark up 30 to 50 percent for county jail. Getting high or drunk is one of the worst things to do in lockup
#48 Not all offenses require prison time. Most sentences can be served in jail (I understand many to be in jail for over a year on sentence, some even longer waiting for trial), and some cases they may just go from sentencing right into probation, or may have to spend time in the state hospital (up to 3 years in my state), and or spend time getting medical treatment while otherwise basically being on probation. So there's a number of reasons why you may not go to prison if convicted.
