NEW YORK PRISON MAXIMUM SECURITY 90's

[@ambermoon1401]

I've been here since your swole video in the very beginning, I had just met my husband when I started watching you, when I think about how much has happened and how my life has changed since I first subscribed, man it just blows my mind! I'll never stop watching!

[@flrichardson398]

I am amazed on how inmates survive in prison! This cell block was huge!! Thank you for bringing this content to your show ❤

[@georgescott4505]

You gotta play mind games with yourself. My thing was to pretend that things that were weren't, and things that weren't were.

[@brentfarvors192]

Back then, they were treated better, the guards made a half way living wage, and probation was just a pay stub...Now, they make it almost impossible NOT TO violate...

[@annezimdahl]

I live in upstate NY and I never knew in NY prisons or jails would allow cameras in, I know they don't allow cameras in now. Thank you for sharing this with us Josh ❤

[@Landocuzz]

I wish I could show the world the jails prison in the south. Like the movie "Life"

[@annezimdahl]

@@Landocuzz I'm sure Josh could show them for you

[@kristiskinner8542]

​​@@Landocuzzoh bs & those prisons arent shit compared to many around the world. They're nothing like "Life" jfc smh

[@drizzyhendrix4240]

I used to live by Attica

[@annezimdahl]

@@drizzyhendrix4240 oh wow that's not far from me

[@toomuchdrip8286]

I remember being in here man smh shit was definitely a crazy experience I don't regret because I learned a lot of lessons 💯

[@cherylhiggins3431]

My son just got released this past Monday out of Roederer located near LaGrange Ky. Tomorrow will mark his first full week out. He went before the parole board a year ago and was denied. They released him on his 2nd review. Good feeling having him home!!! Love your channel. Been watching your videos for a couple months now

[@CellarDoorx06]

Hope he's doing well from a fellow Kentuckian.

[@AlexNHitDogs]

Oh hell yeah these janks are my favorite kind of videos you do. Commenting on old prison footage from back in the day. You should deff do a lot more of these. Highly enjoyable 👍🏼

[@michaelheberger3075]

I was in a max in NY. The wall jacks are TV audio and radio. And food in the SHU is the same from the mess unless you get in trouble there. Then they serve you "the loaf". Never had it but heard it was gross. It's supposedly everything on the menu that day all mixed up and baked into a loaf.

[@Solicity850]

Yup

[@RichGANG-l9b]

that shi mustve been freezing cold

[@georgescott4505]

I've seen pictures of prison as far back from the 1970s and I can tell you they still look exactly the same today. Every time I watch this channel I get mild prison flashbacks as I feel like I'm back in, sitting in a cell shooting the shit with this guy, except he's doing all the talking.

[@wethriveIn425]

He didn’t make parole till 2020…..

[@CellarDoorx06]

Damn....

[@That1E_K1129]

My brother did 6 flat in sing sing. That place is treacherous bro. God rest his soul.

[@alexgonzalez8954]

He died in there ?

[@erickiyoshiphillips2323]

Imagine being locked up with 600 other inmates that shit is crazy. Man. I still have some of the habits from jail to this day even though I only spent 6 months in. Jail and prison sticks with you and mentally it messes with you even years after.

[@The147350]

600 inmates much better than 3,600. I've been out 14 yrs and most definitely still have certain habits from doing time. It was a time and a memory that will never go away. Stay Out!

[@cashbyrd781]

I never seen a shakedown that good either anybody who's been to the chain gang know they have your whole cell messed up fr i was thinking the same thing bro😂

[@SoloGetHykt]

Definitely a Relief hearing them doors pop. Specially when you do 8 months in solitude and get back to GP… and 18:25, was that a crushed velvet bed comforter? 😂

[@BigSmOkE.in.321]

Real talk..That comforter was fire😂😂

[@prepper-sq9yj]

I remember they hit my button for rec in the SHU (I said yea ) put me outside in a dog cage in the middle of winter in PA in my T shirt and boxers ,I was green, NEVER TOOK REC AGAIN LOL

[@jamesg1425]

Haven't missed a video in years! About 3 years ago, my friend at work was like bro you ever heard of this channel lockup? I was like 23 and 1? He said yeah! I said I've watched every video, lol. Good stuff. Love the content

[@MyTwoCents2]

Whaa no intro 🤔 "Wellllcome back to another espisode of Lockdown23&1".. there i said it for ya😂

[@slatersworld]

The plug in the wall is radio jacks to listen to music, or whatever they offer

[@relllemonz219]

I grew up down the street from this prison. This prison is only 30 mins from The Bronx

[@Duffman8489]

I did 8 1/2 years in NY. Wasnt ever in Sing Sing. Honestly some medium security prisons are worse than the maximum. Also sometimes the COs you have to watch more than fellow convicts.

[@Presidentdiesel]

I never seen a search that generous

[@DownSouthSlots504]

You sure do know how to brighten someones day. I really needed to watch this video. I am having problems with the car and bills. Life is really getting to me right now and I really needed the entertainment.

[@urger77]

Good things are coming

[@darvon906]

How do you know

[@urger77]

[@osc563]

Stay strong!!! I was having car problems an behind on bills too. Things are better now, they will get better for u too.

[@AmateurHour1111]

Shake down guy was touching those clothes so gently lol 🧤🧣🩳🩲👕

[@sleeper3602]

Watched this part 25 times no cap! you have to understand the humor and voice, in order to think this is the most hilarious thing in the world !!! “ jail sucks it limiting my abilities to grow a read and natural learning abilities”😅 hahahaha

[@beccaroo1990]

I did some digging & James Walls got there on 7/21/72 & was released on 6/26/83. He's now 84(if he's still alive,not sure if he is but it has his birthday as 4/30/39).

[@jiggamortice3870]

Thanks for the info. Have a nice day!

[@shawnwhitman5482]

I remember when I was locked up I hated shakedowns when they would just throw stuff everywhere. Guys would get pissed off at the COs and cause everyone to get locked down.

[@Cyndi_Bertsch]

Shakedown was hilarious. Only for the camaras. Usually looks like a burglar has been looking for the family fortune. Ripped apart. 😅😅

[@joelhawkins4841]

Never seen that either he was being all delicate when he was searching that bunk

[@Smugglebudz]

I’m New York you could still get packages from home up until a few years ago. Can still smoke as well

[@isaboteur2562]

U can still smoke in NY prisons?

[@Smugglebudz]

@@isaboteur2562 yessir pack of Marbs or Newport’s in the pen is cheaper than on the streets

[@jt1940jt]

the scariest looking prison in NY from the outside is Auburn. look it up they started a prison program that a lot of joints used called "the auburn way". which meant no talking at all and you only come out of your cell for chow. plus when in cell you couldn't move .

[@geminimac613]

They got the “for tv” shake down

[@matti8894]

These old prison documentaries are great. I really notice how soft and well spoken these old school dudes were. Compared to nowadays it’s a night and day difference.

[@H8rProof]

Yeah, both convicts and COs conducted themselves with a higher level of respect once upon a time. That shit is long gone on both sides now.

[@loganf9701]

its like... somehow tranquil

[@jasonmccord9778]

Things were so much better during this time. No non-binary bull crap. Transgenderism was frowned upon. Heck even being gay was taboo. I don't what happened in 20 years but this country is on a definitive collision course with disaster and I don't think there's any way coming back from it.

[@joesickler5888]

Y’all trippin it’s just people. Nothing changed.

[@H8rProof]

@joesickler5888 as someone who served time in the 90s 00s and 10s I assure you it changed a shit ton.

[@LindsayZ424]

[@kingbagz7749]

The funny thing is there is a little park down by the main gate the over looks the yard that park was the hang out spot use to get crazy there and it’s right by a max prison which always messed wit my head…..

[@KrazyK-ck2bp]

Yo Josh can you interview Unique Mecca Audio, you both are funny as hell and i would love to see it happen he got stories and i know you wanna hear about them. 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💎💎💎 stay blessed and keep the good content coming !

That fruit will later be some fine wine 😂😂

[@djnevous3us]

I remember I use to deliver auto parts to a garage next to that place and never realized it was sing sing.

[@tztezza]

Because you’re the real OG for this ish..others come and go while you maintain

[@anthonyrafferty8594]

Hey Death I was wondering if you have seen the paramount plus show mayor of Kingstown. I would love for you to review some scenes from it. It is a jermey Renner show.

[@derricksuter]

In my opinion this is the best prison channel on KZbin 💪🏻✌🏻

[@isaboteur2562]

3:33 Similar setup to Max in Rhode Island. The windows across from the cells..if u were on bottom u could only see the sky

[@HandsOfHatred]

The guy that had the fruit in the cell, and that cord that was coming out of the wall? That cord was hooked to a radio. A lot of jails, and prisons in New York had a plug-in in the wall so inmates could listen to whatever music they decided to put on that day. And every day it would be a different genre of music. So those were headphones that were plugged into a headphone jack.

[@MatthewCrustlife]

I spent a couple years in seg in Indiana state prison, I remember getting bruises on my forearms from standing there talking to buddy’s on the range

[@kenmauge8032]

Glad I finished my bid in the late 90s.never gone back.

[@predatorassassin1957]

Very similar to Jackson state diagnostics and classification prison in Georgia.

[@lifeinprisonWV]

Another Banger Video Josh - Keep em coming

[@codycardin]

I saw Prison Sing Sing and thought, "Why's he putting up rap videos?", then it connected, "You dummy"

[@warreng412]

I had a Female Pit Bull in the late 90's that I named (Sing Sing.)

[@MatthewCrustlife]

Oh yeah exactly like a and c cellhouses at the city, man those were the days

[@stunna_CODM]

Dude said stole every diabetics fruit 😂 that was funny

[@BxCortez2050]

Sing sing ..is where the term " up the river " for going to prison came from ..it's up north from nyc with Hudson river along side of jail

[@brandon_leeroy135]

I used to pass this place fairly often on the train. As I’m sure many people from NYC have.

[@Allnimalz]

What happens to people who disassociate? Like, they could stare at the wall and be gone in their head for hours.

[@DetectiveTrupo203]

I believe everyone incarcerated does this to some extent, even if they're not aware of it. Especially people who have been in for a long time or in solitary confinement, you can see them retreat inside their minds and allow themselves to be lost in thought, even if they're walking laps or just sitting on their bunk. It's one of the things that freaks new inmates out the most, when they're used to constant stimulus of watching a screen or being distracted, and suddenly they are alone with their thoughts in a way that is rare in this era.

[@chrism4008]

​@@DetectiveTrupo203I definitely learned how to disassociate while doing time. I taught myself how to never be bored while doing time in county. Its a skill im still grateful for to this day. I also learned a lot about innovation

[@Allnimalz]

@@DetectiveTrupo203 I'm talking about people who disassociate already, are on paper to have dissociative episodes and end up locked up. Have a friend who may be heading that way soon and I'm worried about him.

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

You should make a short why they took knight Stix out the prison

[@LUDWIG215.]

That's exactly what the cellblocks in Huntington Pennsylvania state prison looks like

I haven't been watching for 7 years but at least 5. I used to watch omw to work on the bus before i bought my car.

[@tristarperfecta1061]

I was in the round room in Philly for a few days in the 90s. I was young as hell and scared as hell cause that place was the most aggressive jail I've ever been in

[@mi.terpology]

Sing sing was notorious

[@harryknutts8428]

i first went to county jail in 1993 for 17 days through the 90s i did alot of county stints most being around 30 days and 1 at 210 days, i didnt land in prison until 2004 , while that may seem like a long time ago its not , but i was around alot of old school guys and they all said prison changed alot starting in the 90s because of the closing of mental instituitons and the tuff on drugs laws , so the population became less hard core violent inmates and more crazy people and average joes with drug posseion crimes,

[@MadeinDade47]

2004 is not a long time ago? That’s 20 years ago lol glad you home!

[@harryknutts8428]

its never far away in my thoughts, jail didnt really change me much but prison puts a stain on you that u cant get off , sometimes i miss prison , sounds crazy but to know exactly what your status is in a 1000 man joint is a realness most people cant imagine , in prison you will be exposed as a fraud or your greatness as a man will be revealed@@MadeinDade47

[@MikeyBickle]

I remember those springs on the racks. They took em all out of ohio a few years ago, but used to make all kind of stuff out of the springs and the hooks that hold the springs, from screwdrivers 🪛 to little pokers , even just something to use for a wall hanger.

[@Theenucleus]

It's not an actual glass mirror. When I was in prison it was like a piece of plastic or metal with a reflective surface lol anchored to the wall.
