Crazy things that have Happened in Prisons

[@nazc0]

I think the craziest thing to happen in prison was that a known child trafficker with ties to powerful government officials on suicide watch was left alone in a cell where all the cameras malfunctioned and both of the guards happened to fall asleep.

[@noon3d]

The cameras didn't malfunction. the footage became corrupted with power and killed itself. Actually, they said, "The footage was corrupted, and then it deleted itself."

Here in Germany, attempts of escaping prison are not indictable. The escapee is still accountable for things like damaging property, stealing a car, hurting people etc. during his escape, but _not_ for the escape attempt itself. The reasoning behind this is that every human being has a natural drive to be free and that trying to escape imprisonment would only be natural human behaviour that can't be seen as a crime.

[@mattkaustickomments]

That’s unbelievable. So how often do people try to escape? How often are they successful? I get the feeling that if the rules are that loose, and the prisons that soft, they may not want to escape- prisons might be better than their own homes?

@@mattkaustickomments Most of the time you have top destroy Something or Hurt someone to get Out and stay Out of prison, so it is Just Not worth it. People with live sentences are kept in pretty much unescapable prisons, which you couldnt leave without Killing or Hurting guards, so it doesnt make it more likely for Them to try and escape

[@FlashRayLaser]

One of the arguments against the death penalty is how many people have been executed who turned out to be innocent. I would say escape attempts shouldn't be illegal for the same reason.

The 1962 Alcatraz escape attempt has always been one of my ALL-TIME favorite prison escape stories. I really wish Simple History will do one on the 1946 Battle of Alcatraz, which started as a desperate escape attempt that ended up turning into a bloody, 2-day standoff between the escapees and a coalition of guards, FBI, Coast Guard, and U.S. Marines.

A small note about the story of Shiratori. The original reason he was imprisoned was because off a murder he did not commit, the murder of a farmer. All the times he stole while on the run where items needed for survival, he never used violence. A later trial after japan surrendered to the US found him innocent of this murder, but did give him prison time for the other crimes during the escape attempts. He accept his verdict and stopped attempts at escaping after his 2nd trail and became a role model for other prisoners. Source: Kento Bento on yt

People swim from San Francisco to Alcatraz and back all of the time. There are groups dedicated to doing this, with rescue boats close by. There is really no reason to doubt that the Alcatraz escapees were able to swim to the shore, especially with an inflated raft. If they had drowned, their bodies would have washed ashore. Personally, I believe they made it, then left the country.

Wow, what a fascinating story! Yoshie Shiratori's escape from Abashiri prison using miso soup certainly shows how resourceful and determined a person can be when faced with extreme conditions. It's heartbreaking to hear about the harsh treatment prisoners endured in Japanese prisons during that time, but Shiratori's persistence in escaping multiple times truly shows his strong spirit. Thank you for sharing this piece of history with us, it's important to remember these stories and learn from the past.

Before they could search a cell in Ireland prisons, they had to give the inmates a few days notice. I guess that’s why the were able to bring in contraband and not get caught. I don’t know if it’s still procedure or not. I worked in a men’s full custody prison 22+ years and we walked up to the cell, had control booth pop the door open. Ask the inmates to step out. We’d do a clothed body search on them and have them take a seat on the table in dayroom. We’d then go in and search the cell. Anything we removed they were given a receipt and it was logged.

[@Bobbb-f3i]

He is doing an IPP life sentence (kind of like a 3 strike life in USA) that was banned in 2012 for being cruel and unfair but they didn't release the already serving IPPs. A lifer in Britain has to sit a parole hearing where the parole board can give 3 results, immediate release, lowering security (going to a less secure prison working towards an open prison) or stay in and will give a new parole date in 6m -2 yr. IPP prisoners have to do courses and show improved behaviour to get out, which is impossible for a high risk prisoner like Bronson cos he's locked up23 hours a day and not allowed to mix much so can't do the courses. This is part of the reason it was banned. Bronson had a parole a couple month ago which it was decided he's still a threat and had to remain inside and in high security. His son recorded Skype calls with him and they're on streaming site, all4 I think

I work for CDCR. Craziest thing I’ve ever heard has to do with an inmate by the name of Jaime Osuna. He was in a segregation unit where inmates are supposed to be checked on every 30 minutes. He was just given a new cellmate, something Jaime warned staff not to do. He was left unchecked for about an hour and a half, in this time he had decapitated his cellmate, disemboweled him, and decorated the cell with the entrails. He is also known for “gassing” people, which is a term used in prison meaning inmates throw a cup or bowl filled with their bodily fluids at staff. Most people use urine, spit, or feces if they are gassing staff. Jaime uses his blood. He also likes to get overfamiliar with the psychiatric staff, asking for their hand in marriage then will gas them for refusing. His backstory is quite sad and tragic, and it explains how he turned out the way he did. I do not work in the institution that he is housed at, but I work with people who have been there. He is a well-known inmate and a google search of his name will tell you what he did.

I was in Army Aviation for 12 years. After basic training you go to AIT to learn your MOS. Sometimes classes can get backed up and you could spend a week or THREE waiting for a class to open up. Naturally I waited THREE weeks sitting around watching the news (the only TV allowed during the day) or volunteering for anything and everything to stay more bussy rather than more crazy. One of the 3 "unique" experiences I had volunteering was escorting someone to the hospital only this time it was off base. Something new. SWEET. We rolled up to a military prison. ( I gotta say I uncontrollably spent 10 seconds thinking about anything and everything I might have done to be picked for this duty as it was one of a handful of times our 1SG asked (YELLED FROM THE HALL) for me by name since I was always the first to stand up before those looking for volunteers could even finish asking what they needed) I had never seen a prison before in person. DO NOT GO TO PRISON. It's WORSE than you think. There we met up with another 1SG who had the female equivalent as me. (Volunteer for everything to stay busy) We were escorts for a male and female soldier who were awaiting a trial for some don't F with these people they will cut ya or worse and they were on the worse side. AND THE POINT IS HERE AT LAST.. Sorry about that. Both were chained up with their hands locked at their side to a belt and their feet chained together so they could barely take a full step. The hoods (WTF) were a nice touch. Apparently they were biters and spitters and came down having already chambered some spit into the mask. Then they clipped a leash to their belts and handed it to me. (WTFx2) YEP... I walked a human and I kid you not had to say stop, sit, stand, walk and come just like you would order a dog. To the hospital when went. They were in cages in the van. They somewhat bounced around and talked excitedly non stop on they way there. Just like a dog going to the park.

I do feel for Bronson. I had someone very early in my development who helped me face my anger issues, and taught me the mental discipline of Martial Arts not just the arts themselves. Today I believe that violence belongs in the ring (or the octagon, etc.) where it can be channeled more or less safely. I doubt Bronson had anyone like that. 20:57 Why would it "result in blindness"? Unless you mean temporary blindness? Capsaicin in pepper spray is pretty much the same thing, and it does not permanently impair vision, which is exactly why it ought to be hailed as great non-lethal defense, and why governments like the Canadian one ought to legalise carrying it for self-defense. It's ludicrous how in Canada - a small, lightweight woman is somehow expected to defend herself against multiple male attackers with her bare hands, as it's illegal to carry ANYTHING for self-defense other than your own hands. Technically yes, you can carry a knife and even a sword in Canada, but not for the purposes of defending yourself against another human.

Lol he took a librarian hostage for a helicopter, a blowup doll and a cup of tea ☕😂 Yep his is definitely from Britain 🇬🇧

5:33 - No. Salt does not react "violently" with the iron. A **violent** reaction, for example, takes place when combining the separate liquids used to fuel a rocket. Upon contact with each other, they explode. For another example, there's heat plus gunpowder and oxygen; like the rusting iron from the story, it is also oxidation... but rapid, exothermic, _violent_ oxidation. Also, he clearly didn't escape with _a_ bowl of soup.

Imagine a prison riot and out of nowhere some inmates start to pull out crossbows, guns and anime weapons. That's like a Prison free card😂

What software do they use for animation? It reminds me a bit of South Park.

I love how in Europe, prisons treat there prisoners with so much respect. That the scene in Spiderman: Far from home where in a jail the cell door opened up and the inmates closed it themselse is realistic

[@terryhayward7905]

In a lot of UK prisons, inmates actually get TV, a kettle for tea and coffee and keys to their cell doors, but they only open the cell from the outside.

Escape is the one part of prison I've always found fascinating; I watched escape from Alcatraz when I was around seven and then watched it over and over for weeks. I've always thought that if I ever ended out in prison, I would spend every waking hour trying to find a way out.

[@FronteirWolf]

In army cadets we would throw coffee creamer on our hexi cookers to get an impressive burst of flame. They also routinely asked us to hand in the Tabasco sauce we got in our ration packs, just in case we decided to swirt the bottles into someone's eye.

Story 1 Do you have any IDEA how strong (mentally) a person has to be to survive Even more shocking as how "normal" he was after the ordeal my hat is off to him

[@azdaze227]

39:40 I'd like to think this guy never climbed or did parkour or anything, and was just so freaked out by getting shot at he managed to scale a 40 foot wall in a few seconds, then jump across the gap, only to stop and completely freak out about what just happened once he got away

Bronson was disgusted with the prisoner after he farted in front of him , had me in stitches 😂

[@kgrfirdjy]

I remember doing a clinical rotation in a jail while in nursing school & how surprising it was to be 10 yards away from a violent inmate who was pepper sprayed. My eyes started burning within a minute of the inmate's arrival even though I wear glasses. It's a small reminder that crime hurts many.

[@ospjp4]

Is, is this a serious comment???

[@steveellis7195]

Maybe there are some lessons to be learned here from the Japanese Prisoner (first clip). If you are treated roughly for several years (including beatings and torture) and then treated fairly for the next 14 years you become a model prisoner .

[@lucasruckle]

I'm amazed by the amount of things prisoners have access to.

[@ThermonuclearMan]

I worked at a close security prison for years on the ERT team. We responded to a call for a forced cell-extraction because one prisoner had killed his cellmate. During the investigation it was found that the inmate was killed for farting so often that his cellmate became angry about being trapped in an enclosed space with the constant smell of poorly digested prison food. He drown the gaseous oddender in the toilet.

Sodium is necessary for a healthy human, but not good for someone with hypertension.

What a precious movie! I stumbled on it & was going to change it but I was distracted (at work) boy am I glad I didn't change it! They really made you care about each & every character, even the grouchy old woman. 😊 Really good

[@TupDigital]

Using a storm to cover the noises of his escape, ala Andy Dufresne in Shawshank....excellent. Wow This guy was mega-rescourceful. Also, I always kinda assumed the actor Charles Bronson might have taken his name from the real-life wildman

The 2 brothers survived and made it to South America; I learned, watching another program. There's this alleged photo of them together, taken sometime after 2000, and AI facial recognition software confirmed that the men in the picture were, in fact, a match. What a story!! I'm happy for them
