inked g0d yeah that’s not the type of attitude that leads to you becoming a successful prisoner in jail. It is the type of attitude that leads to being a widely respected millionaire journalist with enough empathy to get closed and hardened people to open up and be honest. So I guess you have to play to your strengths.
He didn't make the unwritten rules, he just observes them. The conversation between the two could be understood differently if Louis Theroux was an inmate. I'm sure then he would certainly modify his opinions on how to live in prison. As for being brought up right or not, I doubt if that is the cause of America's mass incarceration. I'm speaking as someone in a small European country where we have prisons etc. but we do not have, and are not ruled by a world domination, violent culture that sets the norms throughout society including in prisons.
this for me is one of the most memorable interview of louis work for me, never breaks eye contact and the mans answers where genuine 1:29 onwards his words about being in jail for 10 years and how that affected his mentality the part about respect was very relatable as well.
the scene where he last talks to louis before going into a new cell - you can hear people yell NEWBIE and he gives the camera one last look before they slam the door. crazy
Most males have an incredibly hard time maintaining DIRECT eye contact and body posture. It's a sign of aggression even in human males (exact opposite of females oddly). It's only people who are weak minded trying to prove they're tough or legitimate bad asses that do this. Look into his dead shark eyes and guess which he is........
Its close conversation its normal to have eyes contact like but on the outside walking on doing the same eyes contact to everyone you will look weak for the strongest
This guy actually seems very intelligent and articulate. He expressed himself well and when he talks you listen. He may have different morals and beliefs on how he should behave compared to most of us but I can see why he acts the way he does.
"very" intelligent? That's quite a low bar. He flat out says he will beat anyone who disrespects him, which is a valid thing to do in prison, but not outside, but he fails to see that cause he's so used to the thug life.
Good of you to look for positives but I feel like he's a total piece of shit and uses any intelligence he has to justify his abhorrent behaviour even though he knows its wrong.
I like how this guy isn't nervously laughing or anything about talking to the reporter. Most prisoners act tough on camera but this guy couldn't give a shit about Louis. He's genuinely a tough bastard who knows his harsh reality starts again once he leaves the TV crew. I hope he made it out and makes something of his life.
Hill_D0gs Hairy_pusss American crime sentences are very harsh. In UK you can kill somebody and be out in 1 year with the right lawyer. Our country is a fucking joke.
Hill_D0gs Hairy_pusss Happened in my town. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7928920.stm He got out after 1 year under the 50% remission rule for good behavior.
Ivan Drago Yes he got two years for manslaughter. It didn't have anything to do with a good lawyer, the court was lenient for the reasons named in the article e.g. his age, his intent, he stayed with the body and plead guilty straight away. I might have tacked on a few more years, but it's hardly a case murderers walking amongst us is it?
One of the most depressing Louis clips for me this. The way at the end after louis says you shouldn't assault people, he just replies 'That was the way I was brought up, that was the way I thought it went'. Almost recognizing the faults in his own upbringing having the negative effects on him now.
By saying that he did the assault because that's how he was brought up, he's recognizing that his actions are wrong and blaming it on his upbringing. If you're aware your actions are wrong then you gotta stop doing those actions - you can't just continue being a dick and blame it on your upbringing.
@@simonyip5978 yes he is being sarcastic, but he's also being honest about how if he feels disrespected, he needs to dominate to get it back. I suppose if he doesn't, he feels like he lost something, like he is less of a man. I still think with a lot of time and determination, you could reach him, and then he could feel like he has a decision in the way he acts. Lois isn't reaching him, he's just conversing.
It seems to me in different circumstances he'd be very different, the way he talks and thinks he seems like a man who could be reasoned with and even a guy if you knew who could be pretty stand up if he had the chance, he's obviously not a dummy. This was 10 years ago, maybe he's out and free, but realistically probably not, I just find it sad TBH, it's just wasted lives.
Louis is an out and out Liberal. Can't understand his thought processes. The inmate is a product of his surrounding as most of us are. Never been in prison but grew up on the most deprived council estate in Europe. I'm nearly 44 and almost everyone I grew up with is in prison for life or Dead made me pesemistic.
We could all be his shoes. It all boils down to education, circumstance and plain luck. This guy isn't some dumbass,like you usually see in these videos. I just saw him talk circles around Louis. I see wasted potential.Unfortunate.
" I just saw him talk circles around Louis. I see wasted potential." What potential? If it is due to what you just wrote down - we couldn't ever have been in his shoes unless we were born the very same way, in the same circumstances. There were tons of crime bosses who were smart and eloquent, what does it matter that he's not your regular footsoldier?
No I couldn't, because I chose to make something out of my life. Education is right there available, use it. Don't make him into a victim when all he is a victim of is himself.
A lot of criminals are smart, eloquent and also brutal. Look at the worst crimes in history such as genocide, ethnic cleansing and war crimes. Often committed by elected government who never see the inside of a prison cell.
He's not confused about anything. He is fully aware that he has been "institutionalized". In prison fear and respect are the same thing. If he doesn't respond in this way he will be victimized by others. Sad but true. And then these guys bring this conditioning to the streets when they are released... You beat and cage a dog for years and it will bite strangers, even if you give it a good home after the abuse. Not saying this guy is a victim, he probably did something to deserve to be incarcerated but the American prison system turns a petty crook into a seasoned criminal. It's a terrible system.
In his life and reality, the behavior isn't crazy at all though. After 10 years of having to live that life in a prison, and being raised that way, it's perfectly sane behavior. In Louis' world this behavior is crazy. In his world it would be crazy not to behave like this.
A lot of the prisoners in this documentary aren't the sharpest tools in the shed. But this guy is self aware and analyses his own situation and knows why he acts the way he does. And yet he still does it. What can you do with a person like that?
@@careenfarrell9544 very true. Real shame the trauma of that twelve years (and what may or may not have happened before it) will probably never be undone - the guy could probably have been just about anything if he was given a good shot at the outset
"so which one is more important, for me to be seen like a monster in your eyes, or for me to feel like I have no respect in mine" .. I'm not saying that it's the right thing to do.... but I understand.
No this is what happens when people let their kid listen to rap music. In fact listening to rap music should carry 25 to life sentence because you know thug life
YG BH that [Contend Deleted] post is a genius troll of the original post. Next step is to say “this is what happens when you let your kids be black.” Let’s be honest that’s what’s just below the surface here.
Tough to tell if that's he meant, if you watch the full documentary you can see that he has a good sense of dialog and uses sarcasm to get his points across with Louis as to why he acts this way in Prison. There's another scene were this inmate is being written up for this fight by a co, and Louis asks him how badly did you beat him up? This dude responds "just enough so he stops and doesn't do it again"
Plenty people grow up in the wrong home but deciding to commit violent crimes is exactly that, a decision, and it's one that most people don't make. It's a mistake to let your sympathy circumvent the fact that the guy is there for a good reason. It's an insult to the victims to do this, and it's also an insult to anyone to presume their life is driven by factors purely out of their control.
@@shrimpanzee001 Countries with rehabilitative judicial systems have far lower rates of crimes than countries with punitive systems. It's completely ignorant to pretend the state of society has no effect on crime. Compare the US to every single other 1st world country to see what happens when you adopt a punitive system.
I do not like how they interviewed him there right in front of other prisoners, how is he going to be honest and upfront? With other prisoners looking on that will judge him and call him out for what he said to the camera crew.
I’ve spent 14 months in a French house of arrest a dozen years back, it wasn’t fun at all, but when I see those interviewed in the US, I feel like I was in fact in a gentlemen’s club...
That was really well said at the end. He explained what subjectivity there is to life on the tougher side of town. "if someone disrespect you , you assault them right?" No that's baaaad... Oh see I didn't know that.
I mean, most mental diseases are characterized by the emotional responses they elicit. He is simply eluding to that point. Bipolar disorder for example is characterized by the dramatic changes in mood, energy and behaviour, where a person can go from a period of extreme elevated moods, to extreme sadness.
sp4de69 Mental illnesses are defined by criteria that are dreamed up by the drug companies behind closed doors to sell their product. Not saying mental illnesses are not a thing because they are. Just saying that people misunderstand illnesses (including doctors) due to this web of diagnosis being spun out of control by big pharma.
That dude might be a rough gangster from the streets with no empathy, but he sure as hell isn't stupid. He knew exactly where Louis was going with his questions.
he is a scary dude and intelligent, a sociopath? louis does same fantastic work, but in this scene he adopts a pious approach, by trying to apply societal morals to an environment where those morals are absent or modified to the situation.
He's asking the guy to explain, and place his reasoning against the reasoning of the outside world. Man to man. As an equal. I don't know why everyone here thinks Louis is making fun of the inmate, or just really stupid.
It's easy to say, "you wouldn't do this, you shouldn't do that." When you're on the outside. If this was some cheesy jail drama show, the man would make a statement that 'if you're in my shoes, you'd do the same.' But the man is too intelligent to state those obvious lines. It's enough that he thinks them. I think I could read it in his eyes.
In emergencies, you can't live life by a perfect code. You have to break them to survive or get out of the emergency. Prison itself is an emergency situation. If you don't beat for being disrespected, then you will be beaten.
The inmate is totally right, when he says he deserves sympathy and understanding too. I think if so-called "troublemakers" were displayed such sentiments from much earlier on, they probably wouldn't have ended up banged up in prison for consecutive sentences. And even if not, throwing them in jail, in most cases, will not solve anything.
Yeh it does solve something. Keeping them away from normal law abiding citizens who have a different mentality that you can't just go around assaulting people every time you get pissed off 🤷♂️
@@GodAboveAll777 from what he says here is first incarceration was a 10 year sentence, and it made him into who he is here. That's not solving a problem, that's creating a problem.
The inmate is telling louix like: its easy for you to come and tell i would not do this or so, thats easy when You are outside of prision but not living this man reallity
Louis should have said: " You seem like an intelligent guy. If you're idea of respecting yourself gets you years in prison and solitary confinement. Maybe you should rethink that approach."

Yeh it does solve something. Keeping them away from normal law abiding citizens who have a different mentality that you can't just go around assaulting people every time you get pissed off 🤷♂️
@@GodAboveAll777 i agree they can't just assault people. But what do you do with them besides prison?
@@GodAboveAll777 from what he says here is first incarceration was a 10 year sentence, and it made him into who he is here. That's not solving a problem, that's creating a problem.
This dudes story touched me
I feel you hro..
This dude is super chill .... he just don't take any bullshit
“ I went nut-ty too” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He has those dead trout eyes
"So basically I'm a big dumb sack of shit but I deserve respect"
That Man raises some good points.
I gotta agree with him on the neighbour scenario! The weeds are growing through my back fence
smart prisoner the way he speaks
I went " NUTTY" too
1:55 Will Smith definitely agrees
Real shit
"I went nuh-tee too" 🤣
“I went nutty too” 😂
If you attack them you give their disrespect legitimacy. Best thing to do is laugh in the face and make them feel small.
When Latino James St Patrick was in prison
I feel this guy has just thrown common sense in the face of post modern thought lol
I understand him entirely.... 😔
This guy dont want to be there..u can see his intelligent n frustrated..l can see his remorseful..very sad
Smart fella.
No choice but to act that way if you want to survive prison.
The inmate is telling louix like: its easy for you to come and tell i would not do this or so, thats easy when You are outside of prision but not living this man reallity
If i were in Jail in the US, i would definitely go crazy
Set him free
He’s eye contact is sooooooo like mad didn’t even look away lol he’s serious boy
i feel 100% wat he said
Trying to explain empathy to a psychopath is the very definition of pointless.
Louis should have said:
" You seem like an intelligent guy. If you're idea of respecting yourself gets you years in prison and solitary confinement. Maybe you should rethink that approach."
I love Louis documentaries 💪🏻 he don’t give a shit how dumb his questions are and the shit they could get him in 😆😆 top man
Good clip. This lad has a aura about him, cold eyed ,serious mush.
The eyes never lie Chico
