How Prisons Prepare for Extreme Weather

[@LarryLawtonJewelThief]

People asked about what happens with extreme weather when you are in prison. I hope you learn from this. Please don't forget my podcast, "The Real Deal w/Larry Lawton" new shows every Monday and Friday. On all major podcast platforms.

Katrina was definately a nightmare for prisoners Larry. Did you ever get the chance to participate in any aide effort? I did and I saw firsthand with the help of the news how poor the relief efforts were manage once in Louisiana. Yes, I would rather be in Angola or Toulaine hospital than in Nola during that storm. I have always known my ACES protocol and wandered in flooded areas-including in Katrina's remnants when they reached my home in Georgia. Still I have never pushed my luck.

[@KingOfThe850]

My uncle was in bay county correctional facility when cat 5 Hurricane Michael came through here in October 2018, after the storm everything was so messed up, (idk about majority) but I know they transferred him to blackwater correctional facility 2 hours away. If I'm not mistaken Bay C.F was actually shut down for a while

when you talked about Schuylkill, Pennsylvania when you were put on shovel duty your face was priceless when you said holy shit I live in PA it gets bad 🤣🤣

[@MrMan-sy4ev]

Interesting fact: Schuylkill is a Dutch word for “hidden river”. When the Dutch first explored the land they discovered the Schuylkill river and decided they would settle near it. They left to bring back the rest of their party, but we’re unable to find the river again. Thus they named it the “Schuylkill” (hidden) River. I grew up there.

Cinder block, concrete, and brick ain't worth crap during a major earthquake. And there tornadoes that are strong enough enough to strip the pavement off roads, pick up and toss large vehicles like trains, and semi trucks like toys, and rip buildings out of the ground by the foundation. There's also other types of disasters that can turn a prison into death trap. Such as floods, volcanoes, extreme cold, wild fires and more.

Hi larry. I'm the big fan Just got out of jail. Having a little trouble reintegrating

[@novak7893]

I know you've touched on this stuff before, but I know a guy who is doing life in prison for murder of an adult and rape of a minor. He has a physical defect with his jaw and has had multiple surgeries throughout his life. Due to the violence he is likely to face in prison, would he be separated from the other inmates or is he pretty much screwed? The guy is David Renz. I'd like to hear your thoughts on what his experience would be like and the sentencing.

[@robbob5102]

I remember that case he was on ankle monitor when it happened. Killed a woman and raped a 10yr old. He's gonna have a tough time for the rest of his life in there.👺

[@hazelangus]

You forgot to mention that he was also convicted for possession of more than 11k images of CP and over 1k videos of CP.. it was while he was out on bond for these charges that he cut off his GPS tracker and committed the murder and assault. The murder was of a mother trying to stop him r-wording her 10 year old daughter. Just so people are aware of what is being referred to. Larry's always said that inmates pretty much give a person a pass if it's a 19 year old having consensual sex with a 17 year old. That's not the case here.

[@krisaaron5771]

Larry is spot-on about having prisoners fight during a natural disaster! When the California wildfires were destroying thousands of acres, prison administrators asked non-violent inmates if they'd be willing to work on the fire lines cutting back flammable dry vegetation and building "brakes" to keep fires from spreading over the ground in exchange for time off their sentences and financial reimbursement. EVERYONE wanted to help -- it was a great alternative to the monotony of a typical day spent locked up and paid for extras at the canteen!

[@nignamedmutt7270]

Natural disaster sure, but he mentions(and it sounds like he was just spitballing, so I wouldn't expect this to be a hill he'd die on in some debate or anything) "I'd let them fight for their freedom"(referencing Ukraine being a warzone) This sounds like a great way to have the world pressing your country for some TERRIBLE war crimes, assuming the idea even works out enough for your nation to be taken seriously afterwards lol Edit: It's very possible I misheard and he only meant "Non-Violent offenders", even if he did it sounds like a fucking disaster just being added to another.

''Free'' people are losing rights at 110 mph now, at least Trump was driving us a nice 40mph towards tyranny. Nobody is safe.

[@AngelNearDestruction]

@@tnctbone right and wrong is arbitrary to begin with. Then consider that the majority of prisoners have mental illness, which makes people scared of them. Then consider that most people assume that the police don't arrest people unless there is a good reason. Then consider how people view criminals. Suddenly how they treat people seems pretty humane compared to what the general population sees as moral. In fact I would argue abuse is far easier to deal with than prison itself. The problem is if we dish out punishments to fit the crime rather than utilize prison society has to deal with its dirty problems publicly instead of behind closed doors.

[@krisaaron5771]

When the government participates in the mistreatment and actual torture of prisoners it makes the authority figures (guards, warden) no better than the worst criminals.

Was in FTC Oklahoma in May of 1999 when that F5 tornado went through. Closed the prison down. Had us under the bunks. It was so black outside. Missed us by a bunch. Just got the out skirts. Saw the destruction path on Con Air going to Pennsylvania three days later. Incredible sight. Total destruction. Makes you immediately pray for everyone who had to experience that. Got an average of a million inches of snow at FCI Ft DIx in NJ. Got caught stealing a bunch and had to go about 3000 hours of extra duty than get that shot( Incident report). Lot of shoveling snow brother. They could me the Polish Plow. Seen a lot of people bust the ass. Me too. Great topic. You bring back so many memories. Larrys really good at telling the stories and keep it real about what happens in prison. Those deer had to be big. I bet you miss shoveling the snow. Or think about how you use to do it as a work out. You ever seen anyone jump from buildings in to the snow? Or make snow ice cream? Always interesting and fun to watch. Great video

We were told "if you're gonna die, do it in your cell" they locked us down and we all felt that compound rumble. 2 hours later, lightning struck the "old Orient" prison behind us. It burnt to the ground. They kept us all locked down for 3 days because the smoke was supposedly a "smoke screen for escape"....just another reason to keep us locked down and prison staff not having to do much.

[@Bimmer_MD]

My experiences are so similar. Thats cool you mention the deer. I spent my life in and out of LA County Jail, which has very little as far as views go. 1 exception for LA County is if you're in the towers and get to "outdoor" rec in the cages its a nice view in the mornings. 1 time I got busted up in the Redwoods in Mendocino county and out my cell windows I see would huge 4 or 5 point bucks and even a bear here & there. Back to LA County stories, I was in SuperMax out in Castaic and forest fires popped off. They shutdown all civilians based services and sent them home, we missed our store day because of it, but it was kind of cool because the window next to my rack had a view out to the yard. The fires had to have been right outside the yard walls because all off a sudden we just seen a fire fighting plane dump his load so close, O swear it looked like he only cleared the wall by maybe 20ft. It was kind of a cool day, you know something different. When I went to court the next week it was just black and charred everywhere outside the facility

[@NJSC_Railfan]

You bringing up Ukraine and having prisoners fight for their country reminded me to ask you this: have you ever read about the penal battalions of World War II? There are some interesting story of prisoners fighting for both sides of the world. Germany in particular has some upsetting stories about their penal battalions, especially at the end of the war. One battalion (Dirlewenger Brigade) was composed of truly evil criminals (commanded by an actual child rapist) who were known to be terrifying for civilians, the other battalions were political prisoners who were used for suicide missions at the end of the war. Some interesting but upsetting stuff that I think you'd find interesting.

Larry, As someone who fixes phones in prison I can tell you the reason they go down is bad battery backup systems and guards who don’t know how to flip the switch on that or they don’t want to. Every time a big storm happens I’ve got to call at least one facility and walk the captain or shift supervisor or IT or whoever through the process and if they can’t do it I gotta drive my ass down there and since I’m hours away from every facility some phones may not get turned on until the next day. Edit : if multiple facilities are down and there’s only one of me I have to pick and choose and fix whoever’s the most severally impacted first. If the entire facility in one place is down VS losing a single housing unit at the other Im going to go with the biggest problem first.

Hey Larry, 24 and change in Texas. I guess extreme weather depends on where you are. Eastham is about 150 miles north of Galveston and the coast. Outside Trustees, both those who lived inside the fence and those who lived outside worked year-round, rain or shine. About half the population worked in the fields, yes, hoe squads, {google it if you don't know}, and rain meant they wouldn't work so they always prayed for rain, especially during the summer. Unless the power went out, the unit ran pretty much normally. Hurricanes just meant heavy rain and some wind. There was a river about a mile from the unit and I have seen it flood to within a hundred years or so of the fence. Extreme weather to the inmates was the summer heat. Depending on where you lived, if the temp outside was over 100, it could be 115 inside. There was no forced air ventilation, there were exhaust fans on the roof that were supposed to pull fresh air from outside and then out the roof. You could buy a little small fan which helped a little, but not very much. Eastham wouldn't meet Federal standards for ventilation. I'll tell you about the paint fire we had at another time.

All of the prison staff areas would be just the right temperature but all of the cell blocks and stuff would be either too hot or too cold. They would even bribe the prisoners if they wanted favourable temperatures.
