Prison Soldiers Behind Bars | Prison Documentary Footage

Inside this maximum-security juvenile prison there's a special cell unit specifically for teen inmates who hope to transition into the military once they're released from prison. With less than 50 spots open in the "Future Soldiers Program", competition to be accepted is tough. The unit is known as a cellblock with many more privileges than other general population cellblocks, including wearing military fatigues instead of prison jumpsuits, and overall, a unit with little to no behavioral issues. In this behind-the-scenes raw footage, military officers who run the cellblock conduct cell inspections to make sure the teens are complying with the rules and commands of the unit. Cells must be spotless and beds perfectly made. Afterward, each teen is also inspected for uniform cleanliness and hygiene standards.

I was very impressed by the sheer difference in what the officers look for during inspection, between a military prison to a maximum security prison.

[@krab9479]

I think that this is a civilian juvenile prison, this program is just meant for kids who are given the chance to transition into the military after completing the program (i'd guess that if they successfully complete the program as well, they have their offenses scrubbed from their records and are connected with a military recruiter)

I was in the navy for 7 years where I only knew of one person who spent a extended amount of time at the brig ( jail). At least, he was the only one who admitted to it. He got three months for stealing four cartons of cigarettes from the shipboard stores. He said everyday was longer than the day before. I was shocked at how small the brig was at Treasure Island San Francisco. The entire building was about 60x 100ft. I knew several others who got a day or two on the shipboard brigs but I never even knew what it looked like inside.

There was only 3 people total in the brig where I went. It was only one dorm one a 8 cell solitary confinement wing. It felt like basic training 2.0 in that all we did was clean and fold clothes repetitively. Have not changed much since getting released from the Navy but thankfully have never done any time in civilian jail. 👍

I was assigned prisoner escort duties "chaser" during my active duty. These inspections happen for a reason. The guards can instantly pick out anything out of place after seeing it enough times. I can still glance at a uniform and instantly see unfastened buttons or folds out of place. The difference in THIS place is the incentive to do well. Most don't have a "light at the end of the tunnel" and remain in despair.

I would watch them at the beginning as they were received. The problem with that was, that they knew it was a day or two. Lost some good soldiers to “off-duty” mistakes. Thankfully I never had a soldier that ended up in a confinement barracks. In Sandhofen, GE…the European confinement installation was located. I was stationed on that post in the 97th signal battalion NATO. Saw a guy in the chow hall one day escorted by two guards, with long hair and speaking perfect German. Word got around that he had raped a civilian in the mid-70’s and was just released from a German prison. He had to be outprocessed from the Army and that is why he was eating chow with us.

I appreciate what they're doing for these kids, but just by looking at them, I can tell not many will succeed in the military. This is probably the only discipline they've ever experienced in their entire lives. By the time I went to bootcamp (USMC; 2003), I already had a very good foundation. My father was born in 1940, and he didn't put up with bullshit from kids. Don't get me wrong, he wasn't like a drill instructor or anything, but both him and my mother taught us how to take accountability for ourselves. A person learns the most important things in their life before the age of 5. These kids are way behind the curve. Showing up to formation with a toothbrush in your mouth is quite telling if you ask me. Those kids had plenty of opportunity to fix themselves but chose not to.

My experience in the Army was that if a soldier wanted to succeed, they would be given the tools to succeed. This included motivation and discipline that they may have lacked due to their background. I was a high school dropout pothead coming from foster care, with a criminal record - but because I wanted to succeed, the Army gave me the ability to do so. I say that if these children want to succeed in the military and are given the chance - they just might succeed. We need to root for young people to succeed, not use them to prop ourselves up by pushing them down.

I thought it was leavenworth

[@TheNichq]

All of this seems like an absolute waste of tax payer resources. Either release these people or put them in an actual jail.

[@coltbelote2344]

Why they gotta go to jail why not just go infantry basic/osut is 6 months now it will get you straight lmao it’s just like this even worse 😂😂

[@Tokio_Tsu]

They where probably already there fucked up and sent there, OSUT ain’t that bad

[@Itsreallyhim3]

These camp are no help to these kids , once they hit the streets they are bound to re-offend

[@oppressormk2op547]

Read the description

[@mikeharvey2748]

Is this Levonworth?

[@CalamariProductions]

@mikeharvey2748 - No, this is Pendleton Juvenile in Indiana. Appreciate you watching.

[@ToshiroHitsugaya328]

Other than a reduced prison sentence, I don't see why you should adhere to the army regs. Does that change your discharge from dishonorable to honorable? You're essentially a felon at that point.

[@jasonnelson5745]

It’s a juvenile prison for inmates who want to join the military. No detainee here is or was in the military

[@GodsLittleITGirl]

Was that prison or AIT?

[@gr8tosk8]

My ex husband should have been in prison! Senior Trial Council determined the evidence was to old to prosecute him. Just 8 months earlier I was in a cast. The year before in a neck brace. And he married the mistress! He was retired in 2019 as an 06. Also had me erased from his military record! So after 25 years. I had nothing and diagnosed with AML. 3 years later and a person who believed me finally went page by page and found me. Medical insurance back. That in of itself is a Federal crime.

The fact that at the end of the day, they're not soldiers. In addition, they couldn't even enlist if they wanted to. So it's all for nothing. Just an occasion to reminisce about when they're fully grown and get to go to an adult prison. Just another occasion for self hatred and humiliation.

[@XaeroDegreaz]

Second inspector's hat is below standard.

[@Telco12]

Why is the short guy bracing

[@VLADIMIR007ISH]

Where is the Colonel Winter ??

[@TheJimprez]

Funny. Those kinds of people are exactly who we DON'T accept in our military. You need at least a high school diploma to accepted in the Canadian Armed Forces. I was in from the mid 80s to the early 90s and about 1/3 of my infantry section were college graduates or just taking 3 years off before they went back to University.

[@hammerslamper4125]

Looks like a bunch of young kids in there

[@JohnDoe-jb5ko]

Doesn't seem as bad as regular state or federal prison.

[@robertjones7177]

They were soldiers arrested for war crime?

[@G1ennbeckismyher0]

Some of them maybe. If you are on active duty and you break the law you go here instead of normal prison.

[@davidmoore5004]

@Dacholo that's what I thought because they look too young to be committing any kind of crime inside the military anyway
