How you were describing how emotional people are in prison reminded me of something I was taught when I was in training for childcare. HALT, Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired, any one or combination of those is a very reasonable cause for a child, or anyone to act out in any capacity.

And anger usually comes after other emotions, even if you don't recognize them consciously. Like being hurt, being helpless or a combination of the two, like when you're shamed in front of others. It's there to protect you. I suppose in prison, where you can't show weakness, it can go out of hand quickly.

Solitary confinement is abuse and I know this from experience. I was in a psychiatric hospital and when I said I was suicidal I was put in the closest thing to solitary confinement that the staff could legally do for 48 hours. This contributed to my PTSD. Solitary confinement is abuse and evil.

Jess, like so many other viewers, I would watch you during my active addiction, especially when I was withdrawing (I’d play your videos in the background while I slept through my dope sick days). I’d feel inspired by your stories but always thought death was the only way out. Now that I’m completely sober (off maintenance even) and working the steps, watching your videos is like visiting an old friend for lunch and reminiscing about those God awful years. You really held my hand and got me through the darkest times, you don’t even know. Thank you.

My cousin was arrested at 16 for armed robbery and was sentenced as an adult. They wanted to give him 25 years, but thankfully his attorney was able to get it down to 9-10 years. He ended up spending 7 FUCKING YEARS in complete seg, also known as solitary confinement. He was only allowed out for one hour a day, and even then, it was an outdoor cage, no contact with other humans. The visitation rules were extremely strict and had to be planned very far in advance, and you could only go if you were on the approved list. He did not kill anyone, he was not selling or doing drugs, he was defending himself when he got jumped and had also had a minor scuffle with a guard that was continually harassing him. I agree that you have to have consequences for your actions, but I'm sorry, 7 FUCKING YEARS is unequivocally torture. Every time he tried to get out of seg or get parole, he was denied. He wasn't able to hug his son for the first 9 years of the child's life because he only got to have visits through the glass. He also served his time here in Texas, where we have some of the harshest prisons in the entire country. I'm not saying my cousin didn't deserve to serve time for what he did. From day damn one, he ALWAYS stood up and said "I did it, no one forced me, and I'm sorry. And I know I have to pay for my actions." Even at 16, he didn't try to weasel his way out, or deny it was him. He didn't harm anyone and for most of the robberies, the gun was not loaded. A store clerk who testified actually said he was as kind as respectful as a robber could be. Even then, he didn't try to use her statement or the fact that the gun wasn't usually loaded to diminish his responsibility. Studies have proven time and time again how detrimental solitary is. It has its place, but 7 YEARS is cruel and unusual punishment, and some prisons are FINALLY trying to change their rules and not allow solitary confinement with undetermined time frames. I thank you Jess for shining a light on how desperately we need prison reform in the US. And I applaud you for how you've turned your life around. For anyone wondering, my cousin got out on April 29th of 2015. He has held steady jobs from the first month he was released, and even got an associates degree. He now manages a store and works 7 days a week nearly every week, usually 10-12 hour days. He has his own place and is a fantastic father. But I know most people who spend long times in prison don't have the love and support he has with our family, and have an INCREDIBLY hard time reintegrating into society because they've been so thoroughly institutionalized. I pray in my lifetime we can see some big changes within the prison system, and start truly trying to reform people and not just punish them. Anyone who's been incarcerated that's willing to try hard enough deserves a second chance.

I would just be really really scared. Not to mention, along with my severe anxiety & panic disorder, BPD, depression, substance abuse disorder, OCD & PTSD, I would be absolutely terrified that I'd get all my medications taken away.

I did read that giving the imates only healthy food, really makes a big difference in increasing their behaviour and mental stability. Plus, clean water is clean water. Humans need it to survive. If you don't have access to clean drinking water, then I don't know to say, besides look honestly intonwhy that isn't the case. And I mean honestly. Flint Michigan doesn't have clean water because the water supply is run by the local government, who divert funds that should go to fixing the problem, into other things. If they where a private company, you could sue them, for not providing a service that you paid for. Instead, they just take your money via taxes, and still jot solve the problem, year after year. So find out honestly, if a prison doesn't have clean drinking water, and if not, why not, and if it does, what is different to ones that doesn't.

I've never been on prison, and I had this stereotypical thought that to be so harshly treated in prison and have a very rough life in it you needed to be a nasty criminal, like a murderer or rapist. It's actually heartbreaking to know now what people go through in prison, no matter what they did. I mean, sure, you might have committed a crime like stealing or selling drugs and needs to be stopped, but seeing how the conditions in prison are inhumane it makes me wonder how many people can actually come back to society as a "reformed" person, rather than a way more bitter person who wants to do worse. Also, what the hell, you can't kiss your partner during visitation? YOUR PARTNER? LIKE BRO. WHY CAN'T YOU KISS YOUR PARTNER????? And the story you told about the girl who exchanged letters for money, how is that illegal? Do prison systems just hate inmates so much that they can't let them do their own thing that is not hurting anybody? Was it that they just didn't want the girl getting money? Why?

2:48 Anyone that knows the mental manipulation and bullying, particularly with unhappy in life women, knows that that can be a lot worse then a physical fight. Female self harm from bullying by other women, is a serious problem in society. In prison , I'm presuming it gets way worse, because of the increase in angry, unhappy people wanting to take their troubles out on someone. I've had unhappy in life women take out their frustrations about uow unhappy they are in themselves, out by hating me, over a long period of time. It's really not nice. I've gotten into school fights as a kid, with other boys. I would prefer just to get into a fight in school and be done with it, then be drained of my mental health over a long period of time, by a woman or girl taking out her unhappiness on me over a long period of time. Anyone that's had an unhappy in her life female boss can relate to time. At least with a fight, it's way easier to report it to the police or kill them in self defence.

Being able to work at a disadvantage/improvise is an extremely valuable skill. It just goes to show that not hiring a person based on their criminal history really misses a chance for a company to have a really valuable resource, and a missed chance for a person to become a big success. My entitled ass might appear more valuable, but I’m certain that 90% of people who come out of prison would be better employee than I am.

I'm an addict in recovery too so I have a heart and a deep love for people who need rehabilitation and not punishment. Anyways Jess I'd Love any suggestions you have. Oh and PS it's hard to get reform here because it's all run by old white men who like to punish.

Can you explain what housing units are and how do you get to these different units? How are divided up? I always thought there was gp, the hole, mental ward, and then death row. I thought that everyone who was allowed in gp were all as 1 big group together I didn’t know there were different housing units.

Question, if people are prescribed medication the prison gives those people the medication they need (sometimes of course) so does that mean if you have a marijuana medical card and you are prescribed marijuana are you allowed to have that in prison?

As a former CO I would like to add one possible situation an inmate could be sent to seg, a cocky rookie officer thinking their a super cop and thinking they need to prove a point. I did my best to be reasonable and decent with all the inmates in my buildings, they didn't do stupid crap to make my life hard, and I wouldn't be a jerk on minor crap, plus we came to a sort of agreement that they would mostly police themselves so we could keep the brass away from the unit.

OMG they send people to solitairy for 3 months! I was thinking it would be hard to have to go for a few days.

It seems to me that if I ever went into prison, I rather suspect that I might quite like solitary confinement. I tend to enjoy my own company, my safety would be assured, on-suit showers and one might get a rare good nights sleep.

Can you talk more about the pc process. How you prove yourself, what privileges you have, how long you are or can be in there for. Can the prison impose pc on you even if you don’t want to?

In other countries solitary confinement is limited to 24-48 hours. It's a violation of basic human rights.
