Pretty common actually, My friend had to sit in jail for almost 8 months for them to realize he was in a different t state when the crime happened and apparently having airplane tickets and receipts from being out of town wasn't proof enough. It took the detectives close to 8 months to "verify" his alibi. and pretty much set him free with the warning not to do it again, no apologies for pretty much ruining this kids life. On top of it the police still give him a hard time and pull him over all the time.
@@ScrollinForATrollinat that point he should check for his legal position. Getting Pulled over potentially unnecessarily often just because he is known to police for utter bs, i think that's reasonable grounds for a harassment-lawsuit against that Policeforce
One of my boxing gym pro fighters almost got 10 for assault, because he knocked out a guy trying to rob him and his mom at gun point. The gunman had a broken jaw and cracked orbital bone on the left. The judge sounded like he had seen too many movies. He argument was "As a pro boxer you should have been able to stop him without causing bodily harm."
It's broken, and makes the government and private entities too much money to ever change. Too many times has innocent kids gone in for mistakes and come out hardened criminals who won't think twice about murdering someone. And rather die in a gunfight than go back in.
And it should be, at least for serial killer, maybe is me because we live in an country that the jail is so flexible that they can free you 2 days after for stealing because "society dint give him an second chance" bull shit.

And the emphasis is on making repeat offenders, not on reform and rehab. Capitalism eats its own citizens, prisons are an industry in US, resulting to modern slavery. Otherwise good constitution has huge humanitarian problem here, along with pulling Roe v Wade. Second world country pretending to be the best of them all.
I think pple dont mind returning cuz having a record, parole demands, and the time ur in putting a gap in ur resume/ lactose of developing skills, makes living outside of prison very very very difficult. U cant pay rent without a job but the only jobs hiring a convict r night shift but parole demands u be home by 8. Something like that. So "dont have to worry about responsabilities" might be more complicated than it sounds
Yeah most felonies applications and resumes get thrown out at most places. I hired a few when i was a manager for a fast food location. One got fired for stealing, and another got fired for threatening to go throw the drive thru window and hiting a lady then threatened the district when he came to fire him cuz everyone was scared of him. The rest unreliable due to addictions. Literally the dude that threatened the 2 people was the most reliable. He just talked alot but customers like him. Oh and the girl who was best at front register cuz everyone loved her. Didnt come in alot ahe said due to rides and family issues turns out no its drugs. And she got arrested for drug smuggling cross state lines so federal prison for atleast 20 yrs since it was heronie and it was alot.
Most long termers actually forget how to function outside of jail, imagine 10 or more years of structure and cages, then just... freedom, no structure, no rules, just you and wide open space. They can't handle it. They go back because it is what they know and it is strangely comforting.
As a former convict most these are all possible and worse. If you go to prison not jail you will see bloodshed, rape, prolific drug use, personal relations and more at all 4 facilities i did time at.
10:22 Got off easy? Jail for bouncing a check that couldn’t even buy a dinner at a slightly fancy restaurant? The prison system in the USA is fucked up.

@@naturetime3823 I know this was back in the 80s , so I doubt any off this could be proven, but the state inn which this happened im sure my dads friend would have been found with a self inflicted fatal wound if he if he went ruffling up feathers. Trust me when the cops took me out of school to drop me off out in the middle of nowhere about 25 miles away from town and asked me for my shoes before driving away and leaving me out there to fend for myself, they made it seem like they where doing me a favor pretty much said next time they will find some sort of felony amount of drugs on me and that this would be the last time I would be allowed to see the sun. Pretty much learned that you shouldn't mess around with the sheriffs daughter... Her husband ended up self un-aliving themselves about 6 years after i left highschool and that town... Doubt he did it all by himself
Regarding 12, so... yeah, you're wrong on both counts there. First, the ONLY number that they are legally required to provide you is that of your lawyer. There's actually no law in place that says you get "one phone call" or to call your family or anything of that sort. Movies and TV made that one up, and people ran with it. It's a myth. If the call isn't to your lawyer, they don't have to let you call anyone at all. Medications are another thing. It's perfectly legal to withhold prescriptions for a time, and is in fact standard procedure during intake. Medications, regardless of where they were filled, or by whom, must first be reviewed by the jail or prison doctor to verify that the medication in question is actually what the inmate claims it is. If the medication in question falls into the "Controlled Substances" variant (so mind altering, opioids, or the like) then the inmate will not be given those medications. They will be given a generic variant, or medication other than it which is not in the controlled substances bracket, but again this is all reliant on the internal doctor reviewing the medications, contacting the inmates PCP (primary care physician) and receiving the records of the inmate. That processing can take some three to four days at worst, though it may happen faster. They will NOT give the inmate any medications that they had with them at time of booking either. Regardless of what it is, or what the inmate claims it is. This has actually come up before with the Supreme Court ruling in 1976 that while medical care must be provided, jails are under no obligation to provide the inmate with any medications they had on their person at time of arrest, and must instead provide them from internal sources within the jail. That ruling clarified that the inmate must receive their medication within a week of incarceration.
Think you for these Sparky, I like Reddit story readings but have a hard time understanding text-to-speech, so a real person reading helps so much. Not to mention your voice is gentle & kind. It brings me comfort. Thanks homie ❤ Try not to overwork yourself
Jail worked for me. I was in isolation because of COVID. It's so cold, boring and lonely. I had no idea why I was there. I'd been blackout drunk. For all I knew I'd put someone in the hospital. Or worse. I sat on my bunk and just sobbed some days. I don't EVER want to go back.
So what I'm hearing is: My time in boot camp was a baby version of jail/prison per the stories, and a lot more controlled, but gave the same outcome. Huh. I guess I can see the level of similarities... Not 1:1, but I can see it sorta.
Facts but with less abuse and dangerous unknown individuals with the possibilities of atrocities commited and ignored by your supposed protectors and role models
Story 12 sounds like a lot of crimes were committed Against this person, the warden sentenced him to jail without a trial and against court orders, no meds, etc... Several people need to be on the other side of the bars there.
The guys inside just told me I was brave for sitting with them and eating. They were a bit weird but we got along just fine at the end of the day. They keep jails so cold it's kinda ridiculous.
I once tore up a bedsheets and made improvised long John's and wrapped some around my chest because I was so fed up with freezing all the time. And yes, I got in trouble for it.
@eyevou ya, I had a while to think about it. I only got caught because in Santa Rita (the largest jail in CA, it sucks) you have to stand outside for like 1/2 an hour when you have a visit and I didn't want to take them off.
1:20 stuff like that is really sad, because he probably wouldn’t reoffend if he got out now he has realised his mistakes, but he doesn’t have a chance anyway
My ex would grind his teeth in his sleep, it would literally Squeek, and I mean, it sounded like the screeching that old windows and sliding glass doors make, only so freaking loud. He actually woke me up a few times, once it was right in my ear, and so loud I was shocked out if sleep and straight into anxiety.
Prison was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I got put in county 06-06-16 went to prison 5-5-18, got out 2-15-21. Haven't been in trouble since
27:30 you might have realized that ALL cases on the video were for short sentences, one night stays or a few years max with most being for pretty mild crimes. The window for reflection is pretty short, and then it just becomes your life for 30+ years. for people who get constantly arrested, it's just their personality, and they don't really doubt themselves enough or think they can possibly be wrong. so yeah, the views on this video were all from a sort of biased perspective: never actually in any danger of having your entire live be a concrete cell. they all received a scare, a lesson, and then went back into the world. it worked for them. for anyone that did long times, when they get out, the "lesson" is all but forgotten.
Pretty awesome how regular people, a.k.a johnny tax payer, can face immediate ja8l time for the littlest things whilst big brother government, who suppose to work for the people, just get a slap on wrist for major crimes. Ahhh society.
The person at 20:16, it's standard procedure to NOT give the inmate any medication, regardless of what the inmate claims it is for, until a doctor affiliated with the jail or prison reviews the medication in question and authorizes its use. If the medication is a controlled substance type, however, you won't be given the real thing, but instead a similar medication and under direct supervision. There's no lawsuit there.
10:38 What she is describing sounds like this took place in the 80s, they took bounced checks very seriously, because Credit Cards and Charge Cards as whole were more a rich person thing back then. They didn't start relaxing how they treated checks until about the mid 2000s, because the rise in use of Debit Cards then. The tech boom about that time allowed certain things, including cards, to be more financially available for the common user. That is also about the time that Overdraft charges got more popular and unfortunately, more expensive as well. Bounced checks used to minimally land you in jail even if you were remanded shortly after; this wasn't as much of a thing in the 90s, instead generally opting for a fee, especially in the late 90s. OP also got served a warrant, so its treated with more seriousness in most places, normally requiring a minimal amount of jail time before/after court, depending on the outcome of the verdict, mind.
I went to jail for a night when i was 20 for drinking underage. Im lucky it was a small police station with nobody else in the cells. And the cops gave me coffee and donuts to help sober me up and a lawrence block book to read. My mom eventually came and picked me up. I ended up on probation for a year. i didnt stop drinking for a few years but i eventually kicked it. I really dont like most cops but these guys were pretty chill, probably because i was wasted but i didnt fight them and was super respectful. Only because they treated me with respec6 and even made sure the cuffs werent too tight. I never got in trouble again. Getting arrested sucks.
in canada prison is supposed to be rehabilitation. but the conditions are just as shit as american prisons. no privatization though and if you have $$ it helps.
i was arrested but i wasnt held in jail, it was fun getting printed and photograph taken i was released with no bond bad check charge ended up paying it back and court costs it was years ago and the charge is no longer on my record since i followed what the court said and didnt get into trouble again
I went for 6 months for a bootcamp ran by the DOC for young offenders. I was 18 and came out with no record. My first cellie was literally a convicted murderer before I got transferred to the bootcamp. But, respect is king. Show respect, don't me nosey. Most of those guys know "how to jail" and they're just tryin to stick to their program. If someone wants to fight, you better fight immediately, but itll be much better for you in the longrun because people know you can't be pushed around. I got my ass beat, but I kept my respect.
They woke me up at 3am to have me wait down in a freezing holding cell for 4-5 hours. Finally cram us all into a van, make the long drive in cuffs, get shuttled into the prison’s holding cell, waited there for another 5-6 hours. When I finally got moved to my dorm, they were in the middle of like 4-5 different 1v1 fights on the upper tier to settle some race related shit. It was wild lol
You're lucky living in the first world country where it's possible to solo your prison room. Here in the Philippines, prison are the worst of the worst. It's literally a living hell. Imagine 200 people in a room designed for 60 people. That's crazy! So I listed down the experience you might got if your unlucky enough to be imprisoned here: 1. Tropical heat. As I said, you prisoners are like a sardines in a can. Your body heat, humidity and weather will fucked you up. The ventilation is not enough to cool you down so you will force to remove your clothes and feel the sweat and dirty skin of your prison-mate. And you can't complain unless you have money for VIP and you will be offered a hammock above them. But if you're poor, you have no choice. 2. Heavily cramped - there's no way you can sleep at night since it's dense. The ventilation is not enough to compensate on your body heat so even at night it's still hot. I wonder how they sleep, and some of them are sleeping under the bunker bed called "tarima". 3. Skin and lung disease - Since it's overly-crowded, you have almost 99% chance getting skin and lung disease. Many prisoners died in our prison as a result of acquired infection. 4. Violent prisonmate - it's prison, so it's obvious that your mates are the worst human in the world. You may get raped and beaten to death for any stupid action you might show inside. And there's no way you will get justice. So some people are joining gangs for protection. Weapons, drugs and other contrabands are common inside. They might get confiscated if there's an inspection by the government, but in normal days, those are tolerated. The corrupt prison guards will allow you to bring those inside, as long as you have a money. 5. Abusive guards - our laws are fucked up and sh*t and we are one of the worst human rights in the world. So prison guards are often abusive. They will torture you for fun and there's a case of having a roulette or wheel of misfortune with different kind of torture. I remember the choices of the wheel. A. paniki (bat) or batman, they will hanged you upside down like a bat for some time. B. Manny Pacman or they will punch you for a minute. C. Tusok ulo ka (pricking your head), they will use a variety of tools to prick your head. D. Duck walk - they will force you to walk like a duck, and if you don't want to follow, they will beat your ass. Those things are purely for fun not to force you out to confess. Fucking evil. And it's an open-secret and tolerated by the society. 6. Peeing is a difficult and dangerous task - there's no way you can go to the bathroom casually to pee or defacate any time. Because it's impossible and it's hard to move inside. There's a thing called "buyon". It means you will be tasked to take each prisoner's urine using a tub, galon or bucket to the toilet, you must be careful not to spill the urine to your prisonmate or you will face the consequences. If you're a new guy, this is your first duty. LMAO. 7. Prison Mayor - The lack of staff in prison forced the facility to assign a responsible prisoner to discipline you all. He/She will become your boss inside. He was a direct subordinate of the warden. But he can do things as he pleased. There's a hut in the prison yard, where punishments are being conducted inside. The punishment are called "takal" and they will beat your ass off even for minor offense like spilling the urine, masturbating, starting a fight etc. 8. Lack of food - You're lucky if you have a family that still loves you despite of the crime you did. They will bring you food during visiting hours but the lack of food in prison will force you to share the food that your family was given to you. Being selfish is not acceptable, they will beat you up for not sharing. There's a prisoner who was forgotten by their families so you must show kindness to them. The food in prison are like sh*t, you guys in the first world country can eat a meal with a variety of foods like beans, crackers, snack bars and some veggies (as per google search). But here in the Philippines, it's like a food for animals. Like undercooked or burned rice, soup that you don't know how it was made and tastes like a shit, a dish that have a random ingredients like rotten vegetables, leftover meat, etc. The government is responsible for funding the correctional facility, but corrupt officials will take it for themselves and will eat delicious fast food in front of you LMAO. 9. Elites - In larger prison, notorious and rich criminals are held there. And they are treated very well. They have their own room, living like a king inside with AC, flat screen TV, king size bed, and hoes. They continue their shady businesses because some officials are their accomplices. If there's a trouble outside, they will hire some prisoners to go outside and do the job like killing a rival gang leader, police, judge, attorney or other officials. Final word. Just like I said, prison is not the end for stopping the crime here. Poor but skilled killer can still go outside if hired by officials to kill somebody. So if he got caught, where do you think he will go? LOL. Our country justice system is shit and ruled by criminals. Only the rich and powerful can manipulate our laws. Poor offenders will always suffer, even those innocents will get punished by the harsh prison condition plus the slow justice system. th-cam.com/video/5K9TpZ0G30M/w-d-xo.html
This makes me very much appreciate my single cell in English jail. Was caught on a Sunday night with cannabis and scales in my car. Had to spend the night in the cell and got let out after a formal admission the next day around midday.
1st time in jail i got 90 days for federal trespassing (riding a freight train) in transfer im chained to a dude who goes " i caught my girl cheating so i stabbed both of 'em to death! So what are you in for?"
I remember my first day in prison as if it were yesterday. It was a whirlwind of emotions. From the moment you step through those doors, it feels like the whole world is crashing down on you. The uncertainty, the fear, the anxiety, it all hits you at once. They took me to my cell and I barely had time to process what was happening. Everything was gray, cold, and desolate. I felt lost, not knowing what to do or who to turn to. The faces of the other inmates didn't help much; some looked at me with indifference, others with hostility. Time passed slowly, marking every second with palpable agony. I tried to stay calm, not letting myself be consumed by the panic that threatened to engulf me. But it was hard. Knowing that you're locked up, that you're deprived of your freedom, is a feeling that can't be put into words. Finally, night came, bringing with it a new challenge: sleeping in that place. The sound of the bars closing, the flickering lights, the whispers of the other prisoners... It all contributed to creating an oppressive, almost claustrophobic atmosphere. That first night was long and exhausting, filled with dark thoughts and worries. But in the end, I survived. And that's what matters. [I dedicate my self to gather, rewrite and edit stories like this one! If you liked this story feel free to check my TH-cam channel :)]
This isn't a prison story but here where I live in my town if you get arrested we have an arrest page because there's so many people that don't know their phone numbers and people to get ahold of the jail and bail them out.
The first time I got sent down I was 15 and I absolutely sh-t myself the first night, I was sent to a detention centre and all I could hear was the other lads shouting at us out of the windows, i sat on my bed in tears vowing that I was going to change my ways and never end up in prison again ⚡ a lot of good that did as when I got out I was sent to borstal 3 months later ⚡ I got sent down another 4 times after that 😜 troubled childhood 😂😂😂

In all the places ive been and lived( which is more than a few) i never saw a check like at a store since debit cards came out, about 15 years ago at this point. Only paychecks, but all of those were done by a payroll company like ADP or Paychex
I feel like my story would take the lead in this video. I dont care to share. But anxiety litterally tore my life apart. Litterally just anxiety. I have bipolar and super severe deppression but anxiety has been the cause of everyone of my arrests. I ran from police resulting in 3felony charges that wouldve just been a speeding ticket. Cuza anxiety..... my storys wack. But it doesnt apply to 99.999% of people because my small tx town isnt the same. One example they dont serve any meat at all in my town. Strictly vegetables. U think jail foods bad. Try "soy meat". Then try it when your litterally allergic to soy. Omg. Def kms if im ever going back
They are distinctly different things. Jails are usually run by the county and are for shorter term holdings, prison is run by the state and you can spend anywhere between a few months to your entire life there. Jail is for people who did misdemeanors or who are waiting for their trail, you genuinely don't even need to have done any crime to go to jail.

No. Prison is supposed to rehabilitate, not to serve as a crime college dishing out revenge. But I guess it's easier to appeal to the pitchfork-and-torches mob screaming for revenge in election campaigns, especially when you have privatized prisons that actively lose money if society improves.^
I mean, ...it sucks because you're ripped out of your life and away from your family, with little to do but reflect on yourself. It's supposed to suck on *that* level, absolutely.

Not true, if your prescribed an opiate, or some kind of painkiller, you're gonna get ibuprofen. They also don't pass out stimulant meds for ADD/ADHD.
Regarding 12, so... yeah, you're wrong on both counts there.
First, the ONLY number that they are legally required to provide you is that of your lawyer. There's actually no law in place that says you get "one phone call" or to call your family or anything of that sort. Movies and TV made that one up, and people ran with it. It's a myth.

Medications are another thing. It's perfectly legal to withhold prescriptions for a time, and is in fact standard procedure during intake. Medications, regardless of where they were filled, or by whom, must first be reviewed by the jail or prison doctor to verify that the medication in question is actually what the inmate claims it is. If the medication in question falls into the "Controlled Substances" variant (so mind altering, opioids, or the like) then the inmate will not be given those medications.

That processing can take some three to four days at worst, though it may happen faster. They will NOT give the inmate any medications that they had with them at time of booking either. Regardless of what it is, or what the inmate claims it is. This has actually come up before with the Supreme Court ruling in 1976 that while medical care must be provided, jails are under no obligation to provide the inmate with any medications they had on their person at time of arrest, and must instead provide them from internal sources within the jail. That ruling clarified that the inmate must receive their medication within a week of incarceration.
Think you for these Sparky, I like Reddit story readings but have a hard time understanding text-to-speech, so a real person reading helps so much. Not to mention your voice is gentle & kind. It brings me comfort.
Thanks homie ❤ Try not to overwork yourself
Sparky is a fun nickname.
Jail worked for me. I was in isolation because of COVID. It's so cold, boring and lonely. I had no idea why I was there. I'd been blackout drunk. For all I knew I'd put someone in the hospital. Or worse. I sat on my bunk and just sobbed some days. I don't EVER want to go back.
Did you look up your charges when you got out?
@@Es-yb3db absolutely!
@@feraltaco4783
Well, what actually happened?
this opened my eyes to the horrors of the justice system.
Story 6 should would've been a crazy experience.
Cool that she was able to keep her job afterwards too, a lot of them might not now...
So what I'm hearing is: My time in boot camp was a baby version of jail/prison per the stories, and a lot more controlled, but gave the same outcome.
Huh. I guess I can see the level of similarities... Not 1:1, but I can see it sorta.
Facts but with less abuse and dangerous unknown individuals with the possibilities of atrocities commited and ignored by your supposed protectors and role models
Story 12 sounds like a lot of crimes were committed Against this person, the warden sentenced him to jail without a trial and against court orders, no meds, etc...
Several people need to be on the other side of the bars there.
I love your vids! Refreshing attitude & voice. Sometimes prison works. Prison saved me from my H addiction. Been clean for 6 years now 🎉
Would be nice to hear a story from a civilized prison system, but sadly almost exclusively US answers are unavoidable.
8:40 never heard a story fake
The guys inside just told me I was brave for sitting with them and eating. They were a bit weird but we got along just fine at the end of the day. They keep jails so cold it's kinda ridiculous.
I once tore up a bedsheets and made improvised long John's and wrapped some around my chest because I was so fed up with freezing all the time. And yes, I got in trouble for it.
@@williamdixon-gk2sk That's a really good idea, honestly. I just threw the bedsheet around my shoulders while inside my cell.
@eyevou ya, I had a while to think about it. I only got caught because in Santa Rita (the largest jail in CA, it sucks) you have to stand outside for like 1/2 an hour when you have a visit and I didn't want to take them off.
1:20 stuff like that is really sad, because he probably wouldn’t reoffend if he got out now he has realised his mistakes, but he doesn’t have a chance anyway
My ex would grind his teeth in his sleep, it would literally Squeek, and I mean, it sounded like the screeching that old windows and sliding glass doors make, only so freaking loud. He actually woke me up a few times, once it was right in my ear, and so loud I was shocked out if sleep and straight into anxiety.
When people grind there teeth it is called bruxism
Prison was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I got put in county 06-06-16 went to prison 5-5-18, got out 2-15-21. Haven't been in trouble since
You shouldn’t have to go to jail for missing _one_ payment of child support or a fist fight. Can I just guess all of this happened in America?
27:30 you might have realized that ALL cases on the video were for short sentences, one night stays or a few years max with most being for pretty mild crimes. The window for reflection is pretty short, and then it just becomes your life for 30+ years. for people who get constantly arrested, it's just their personality, and they don't really doubt themselves enough or think they can possibly be wrong. so yeah, the views on this video were all from a sort of biased perspective: never actually in any danger of having your entire live be a concrete cell. they all received a scare, a lesson, and then went back into the world. it worked for them. for anyone that did long times, when they get out, the "lesson" is all but forgotten.
Pretty awesome how regular people, a.k.a johnny tax payer, can face immediate ja8l time for the littlest things whilst big brother government, who suppose to work for the people, just get a slap on wrist for major crimes. Ahhh society.
Facts
27:35 … Well, yeah, we’re only hearing from people who went to jail and are no longer there. Lol of course it’s a lot of stories about rehabilitation.
The person at 20:16, it's standard procedure to NOT give the inmate any medication, regardless of what the inmate claims it is for, until a doctor affiliated with the jail or prison reviews the medication in question and authorizes its use. If the medication is a controlled substance type, however, you won't be given the real thing, but instead a similar medication and under direct supervision. There's no lawsuit there.
10:38 What she is describing sounds like this took place in the 80s, they took bounced checks very seriously, because Credit Cards and Charge Cards as whole were more a rich person thing back then. They didn't start relaxing how they treated checks until about the mid 2000s, because the rise in use of Debit Cards then. The tech boom about that time allowed certain things, including cards, to be more financially available for the common user. That is also about the time that Overdraft charges got more popular and unfortunately, more expensive as well. Bounced checks used to minimally land you in jail even if you were remanded shortly after; this wasn't as much of a thing in the 90s, instead generally opting for a fee, especially in the late 90s. OP also got served a warrant, so its treated with more seriousness in most places, normally requiring a minimal amount of jail time before/after court, depending on the outcome of the verdict, mind.
I went to jail for a night when i was 20 for drinking underage. Im lucky it was a small police station with nobody else in the cells. And the cops gave me coffee and donuts to help sober me up and a lawrence block book to read. My mom eventually came and picked me up. I ended up on probation for a year. i didnt stop drinking for a few years but i eventually kicked it. I really dont like most cops but these guys were pretty chill, probably because i was wasted but i didnt fight them and was super respectful. Only because they treated me with respec6 and even made sure the cuffs werent too tight. I never got in trouble again. Getting arrested sucks.
in canada prison is supposed to be rehabilitation. but the conditions are just as shit as american prisons. no privatization though and if you have $$ it helps.
16:23
You wrote me twice
“My family hated ME. ME.”
We're definitely gonna need another episode of stories from people imprisoned/detained!!
Where do all of these stories come from and how could one submit stories for future threads?
fairly sure they're all from Reddit
@@irishuisman1450yeah, I think they just read random stories from r/askreddit
Eight years?! God damn, what did you do?!
i was arrested but i wasnt held in jail, it was fun getting printed and photograph taken i was released with no bond bad check charge ended up paying it back and court costs it was years ago and the charge is no longer on my record since i followed what the court said and didnt get into trouble again
Now I need to know what a "turtle suit" looks like, because I just imagined one of those inflatable costumes that looks like a turtle.
Imagine like those suits that dog trainers wear for getting bit. But it restrains your movement and is made out of green wrestling mat material.
@@williamdixon-gk2skno its the other one cuz that's funnier
20:03 I think that neglecting to give someone their meds at a high sizure risk is actually illegal.
Well... Those who went Back to prison probably Dont have Access to Reddit at the Moment
I went for 6 months for a bootcamp ran by the DOC for young offenders. I was 18 and came out with no record.
My first cellie was literally a convicted murderer before I got transferred to the bootcamp. But, respect is king. Show respect, don't me nosey. Most of those guys know "how to jail" and they're just tryin to stick to their program. If someone wants to fight, you better fight immediately, but itll be much better for you in the longrun because people know you can't be pushed around. I got my ass beat, but I kept my respect.
They woke me up at 3am to have me wait down in a freezing holding cell for 4-5 hours. Finally cram us all into a van, make the long drive in cuffs, get shuttled into the prison’s holding cell, waited there for another 5-6 hours. When I finally got moved to my dorm, they were in the middle of like 4-5 different 1v1 fights on the upper tier to settle some race related shit. It was wild lol
8:40 im sorry but this had me cackling😭
I’ve never been to prison, but if I were sent there, I’d lay low, keep to myself, and keep my head down.
Holy crap I love the impersonations 😂
You're lucky living in the first world country where it's possible to solo your prison room. Here in the Philippines, prison are the worst of the worst. It's literally a living hell. Imagine 200 people in a room designed for 60 people. That's crazy!
So I listed down the experience you might got if your unlucky enough to be imprisoned here:
1. Tropical heat. As I said, you prisoners are like a sardines in a can. Your body heat, humidity and weather will fucked you up. The ventilation is not enough to cool you down so you will force to remove your clothes and feel the sweat and dirty skin of your prison-mate. And you can't complain unless you have money for VIP and you will be offered a hammock above them. But if you're poor, you have no choice.
2. Heavily cramped - there's no way you can sleep at night since it's dense. The ventilation is not enough to compensate on your body heat so even at night it's still hot. I wonder how they sleep, and some of them are sleeping under the bunker bed called "tarima".
3. Skin and lung disease - Since it's overly-crowded, you have almost 99% chance getting skin and lung disease. Many prisoners died in our prison as a result of acquired infection.
4. Violent prisonmate - it's prison, so it's obvious that your mates are the worst human in the world. You may get raped and beaten to death for any stupid action you might show inside. And there's no way you will get justice. So some people are joining gangs for protection. Weapons, drugs and other contrabands are common inside. They might get confiscated if there's an inspection by the government, but in normal days, those are tolerated. The corrupt prison guards will allow you to bring those inside, as long as you have a money.
5. Abusive guards - our laws are fucked up and sh*t and we are one of the worst human rights in the world. So prison guards are often abusive. They will torture you for fun and there's a case of having a roulette or wheel of misfortune with different kind of torture. I remember the choices of the wheel. A. paniki (bat) or batman, they will hanged you upside down like a bat for some time. B. Manny Pacman or they will punch you for a minute. C. Tusok ulo ka (pricking your head), they will use a variety of tools to prick your head. D. Duck walk - they will force you to walk like a duck, and if you don't want to follow, they will beat your ass. Those things are purely for fun not to force you out to confess. Fucking evil. And it's an open-secret and tolerated by the society.
6. Peeing is a difficult and dangerous task - there's no way you can go to the bathroom casually to pee or defacate any time. Because it's impossible and it's hard to move inside. There's a thing called "buyon". It means you will be tasked to take each prisoner's urine using a tub, galon or bucket to the toilet, you must be careful not to spill the urine to your prisonmate or you will face the consequences. If you're a new guy, this is your first duty. LMAO.
7. Prison Mayor - The lack of staff in prison forced the facility to assign a responsible prisoner to discipline you all. He/She will become your boss inside. He was a direct subordinate of the warden. But he can do things as he pleased. There's a hut in the prison yard, where punishments are being conducted inside. The punishment are called "takal" and they will beat your ass off even for minor offense like spilling the urine, masturbating, starting a fight etc.
8. Lack of food - You're lucky if you have a family that still loves you despite of the crime you did. They will bring you food during visiting hours but the lack of food in prison will force you to share the food that your family was given to you. Being selfish is not acceptable, they will beat you up for not sharing. There's a prisoner who was forgotten by their families so you must show kindness to them.
The food in prison are like sh*t, you guys in the first world country can eat a meal with a variety of foods like beans, crackers, snack bars and some veggies (as per google search). But here in the Philippines, it's like a food for animals. Like undercooked or burned rice, soup that you don't know how it was made and tastes like a shit, a dish that have a random ingredients like rotten vegetables, leftover meat, etc. The government is responsible for funding the correctional facility, but corrupt officials will take it for themselves and will eat delicious fast food in front of you LMAO.
9. Elites - In larger prison, notorious and rich criminals are held there. And they are treated very well. They have their own room, living like a king inside with AC, flat screen TV, king size bed, and hoes. They continue their shady businesses because some officials are their accomplices. If there's a trouble outside, they will hire some prisoners to go outside and do the job like killing a rival gang leader, police, judge, attorney or other officials.
Final word. Just like I said, prison is not the end for stopping the crime here. Poor but skilled killer can still go outside if hired by officials to kill somebody. So if he got caught, where do you think he will go? LOL.
Our country justice system is shit and ruled by criminals. Only the rich and powerful can manipulate our laws. Poor offenders will always suffer, even those innocents will get punished by the harsh prison condition plus the slow justice system.

the first story felt like a comedy movie
This makes me very much appreciate my single cell in English jail. Was caught on a Sunday night with cannabis and scales in my car. Had to spend the night in the cell and got let out after a formal admission the next day around midday.
Story 11 19:17: I have to know... moving on Story 12!😎
1st time in jail i got 90 days for federal trespassing (riding a freight train) in transfer im chained to a dude who goes " i caught my girl cheating so i stabbed both of 'em to death! So what are you in for?"
What does "OP" mean as you use it in this video?
OP (for reddit) mean Original Poster
I remember my first day in prison as if it were yesterday. It was a whirlwind of emotions. From the moment you step through those doors, it feels like the whole world is crashing down on you. The uncertainty, the fear, the anxiety, it all hits you at once.
They took me to my cell and I barely had time to process what was happening. Everything was gray, cold, and desolate. I felt lost, not knowing what to do or who to turn to. The faces of the other inmates didn't help much; some looked at me with indifference, others with hostility.
Time passed slowly, marking every second with palpable agony. I tried to stay calm, not letting myself be consumed by the panic that threatened to engulf me. But it was hard. Knowing that you're locked up, that you're deprived of your freedom, is a feeling that can't be put into words.
Finally, night came, bringing with it a new challenge: sleeping in that place. The sound of the bars closing, the flickering lights, the whispers of the other prisoners... It all contributed to creating an oppressive, almost claustrophobic atmosphere.
That first night was long and exhausting, filled with dark thoughts and worries. But in the end, I survived. And that's what matters.
[I dedicate my self to gather, rewrite and edit stories like this one! If you liked this story feel free to check my TH-cam channel :)]
This isn't a prison story but here where I live in my town if you get arrested we have an arrest page because there's so many people that don't know their phone numbers and people to get ahold of the jail and bail them out.
When the police ask where the jail is always say it’s next to the McDonalds they don’t know so they will have to trust you.
The shocking bit about story 6 is that she wrote a cheque!
Someone please tell me what the background game is. It looks very fun!
For story 11 I swear he said he bit the officer on the leg.. but now I'm rewatching it and don't hear him saying that.. I must be crazy.
I subed
"You owe a grocery store like $30, here's four hours of jail time." Sorry, I don't give a shit how the law works, that's insane.
Of that you could hit anything shaking like that 😂
The first time I got sent down I was 15 and I absolutely sh-t myself the first night, I was sent to a detention centre and all I could hear was the other lads shouting at us out of the windows, i sat on my bed in tears vowing that I was going to change my ways and never end up in prison again ⚡ a lot of good that did as when I got out I was sent to borstal 3 months later ⚡ I got sent down another 4 times after that 😜 troubled childhood 😂😂😂
About to have a bunch of new subscribers, algo sent me here
I witnessed a man get stabbed to due while in line to get my issued clothes. Like always, he was in huge debt.
The story before that, he’d bit the officers leg 19:21
i guess the reason the stories were more positive than expected is because of surviver bias.
Why u did S6 like that 😂😂
Chainsaw Dave is a pretty sweet nickname
The purpose of jail is to protect the public, not to reform criminals.
1:58 this dude should've been given credit for community service for taking out the trash
arrested over 25 dollars. all to potentially cause the person their job
If there's a place on earth called Jail and prison for your bad deeds. You better believe there's a hell in the afterlife for your bad deeds YOU THINK you got away from.

How does a cop not know where the jail is
I think he meant not knowing how to get to the jail from where he was at.
who the hell writes checks is a better question. I haven't seen someone write a check outside of business since about 2010
@@RandoWisLuL well she didn't say it just happened recently.. and a lot of people still do, though for as little as $25, not likely.. (maybe in a small rural town)
State trooper put in a area they are not from. think about it where is the jail where you live, now try to find the jail for the county that is 3 hours away that you have never been too before without google.
@@LadyTarasque a lot of people still do for business transactions, correct. Usually its boomer/genx business owners that do so. Younger crowds never do, its all app based. 99.9% of my clients like Venmo. But normal day to day things checks arnt in use hardly at all and in most places, never.. even in the small town where im from, people laugh at checks and say no lol Its against most store policies. In all the places ive been and lived( which is more than a few) i never saw a check like at a store since debit cards came out, about 15 years ago at this point. Only paychecks, but all of those were done by a payroll company like ADP or Paychex
I feel like my story would take the lead in this video. I dont care to share. But anxiety litterally tore my life apart. Litterally just anxiety. I have bipolar and super severe deppression but anxiety has been the cause of everyone of my arrests.
I ran from police resulting in 3felony charges that wouldve just been a speeding ticket. Cuza anxiety.....
my storys wack. But it doesnt apply to 99.999% of people because my small tx town isnt the same.
One example they dont serve any meat at all in my town. Strictly vegetables. U think jail foods bad. Try "soy meat". Then try it when your litterally allergic to soy. Omg.
Def kms if im ever going back
it was pleasant. the water was shhtt thou
Multiple people with the "I was so out of place in the jailhouse as a white person" line in their story gives me the ick. 🤢
"I was in jail, not prison"...lol. Someone took a trip up da nile.
They are distinctly different things. Jails are usually run by the county and are for shorter term holdings, prison is run by the state and you can spend anywhere between a few months to your entire life there. Jail is for people who did misdemeanors or who are waiting for their trail, you genuinely don't even need to have done any crime to go to jail.
Anybody can end up in jail, only convicted people end up in prison. The difference is huge, both in population and commodities.
Lots of these offenses shouldn't result in jail time. Seems like the American system is hella broken.

*People who went to American prison ....I assume.
Because none of these stories would be possible like that in, I believe, most european countries. I'm kinda annoyed that whenever you read/hear reddit stories about prison it's always American prisons.

I mean…prison is kinda supposed to suck, right?
No. Prison is supposed to rehabilitate, not to serve as a crime college dishing out revenge. But I guess it's easier to appeal to the pitchfork-and-torches mob screaming for revenge in election campaigns, especially when you have privatized prisons that actively lose money if society improves.^
I mean, ...it sucks because you're ripped out of your life and away from your family, with little to do but reflect on yourself. It's supposed to suck on *that* level, absolutely.
If its about punishment there are better options and the dangers, dehumanization, and in alot of times abusive better options
