North Carolina ABANDONED prisoners during Hurricane Helene

[@jcbell-dh1bm]

There is an evacuation priority list, Hospitals, retirement homes, private residents with disabable citizens and seniors all come way before any jail or prison is evacuated. Imagine evacuating a prison and leaving seniors to drown in a retirement home.

[@christschool]

I live in Spruce Pine, NC. The entire town was underwater. People in the community were fighting for their own lives. The damage occurred on Friday and by Tuesday, they were evacuated and moved to other facilities in the state. Considering the community devastation, that was a miracle. Unlike Schuyler, I was THERE. Roads were completely gone. I'm not sure what you could expect when people who had done nothing wrong couldn't good food or water yet you expect the prisoners to be treated better. Prisoners were actually treated better than those of us that lost everything and had no where to evacuate. What a load of garbage this video is. Maybe Schuyler should spend a little time up here for perspective. As a progressive, even I find this level of ignorance offensive. How do you plan for a 1000 year storm? Comparing Florida to NC is a joke. Florida doesn't lose roads and bridges even in the worst hurricane. There were no roads, no power, no cell service, no communication services at all you dummies!

[@deucedeuce1572]

That's a tough one. You can't transport them and you can't release them... so what do you do? Leave it in Gods hands? The messed up thing though is that once a prisoner is in the custody of government, government has an Absolute Responsibility to Protect that prisoner. Period. Yet, we end up with prisons where more men are sexually assaulted in them than all women are throughout the entire nation including women's prisons. I'm very surprised that there weren't people (employees) that fought against this kind of treatment. (and whistleblowers as it happened).

I live in this area. I agree that prisoners had the same conditions that everyone did. We had no electricity. No water.

[@patriotblonde5327]

Exactly, I live a few miles from these prisons, I have family who work at both. They have been very worried about inmates. NOBODY here had any warning, never has a hurricane gotten stuck in between these mountains to wreck havoc for hours. There were no evacuation orders for anyone, those living close to water who were not sleeping knew when they looked out and saw the water raging and it was too late. Those that made it were cut off with no way out for days, some for weeks, no water, no power, no communications at all some searching for missing loved ones including prison employees. Roads and bridges blocked with debris or just simply gone. Inmates were evacuated as soon as humanly possible. They had no choice but to wait until there was a road open passable to get them to another facility with water and power and enough employees. I know there is a problem with prisons and treatment of inmates but this situation was something different and if this lady had been here in the middle of hell with the rest of us perhaps she would understand everyone did the best they could under the extreme circumstances! Far a govt helping? Hahahaha! People who lost everything are having trouble getting the measly 750, didn’t see fema until day 21 and all aid , supplies, search and rescue, recovery, clean up etc has came from locals and volunteers from across America.

[@ambersewell8966]

Every human life has equal value. I would never want to humiliate or cause anyone to feel ashamed of their discourse. I strive to enlighten only. There is NO priority for the lives of prisoners. And because ignorance, not hate, is at the root of most bias...I serve to shed a little light on a single mitigating factor that should help you to equal the the playing field for those who have rationalized prisoners to have had an advantage with a "dry" place to sleep. But You are right. They were INDEED fortunate. They were only lucky this time because the facility suffered no destruction. Or just maybe, it could have been they were actually blessed by God or the universe and PURPOSELY protected as we know GOD makes no distinction in the value of a life and knew these prisoners would surely die. See..as a person not incarcerated and as horrible as it was and I am so sorry for those who lost and suffered however through all of it, you STILL had the ability to make choices in your next physical steps for your best chance at survival. Can you imagine being locked in a steel cage filling up with water while someone else ran off with the key? It's the county jails we should be most concerned with. I promise you....if and when the shit really hits the fan again, they already have a death sentence to go with your judgement. Natural instinct and panic aided by the political rhetoric that it's time for Americans to think only about themselves will make it easy for Employees at these facilities to abandon the inmates for sake of themselves and their own families. And then, possibly using your same rationale for determining value, will not take the time or make the effort to let them out so they can at least have a chance to save themselves or their own families. This is our current reality folks. What HAVE we become? Don't be so naive. It's not just a threat it is the condition and I am so glad this woman has reported on it.

I understand they should always have a supply of water and probably MRE’s on hand inside prisons, hospitals and any building with a large amount of people. But, i will say at least the prisoners don’t sound like they were under threat of having the building filled up with mud and water, and the roof crashing down. They were uncomfortable and had to deal with some of the same issues that just about everyone had to deal with in the states effected. But, they had a roof over their heads and a bed to sleep in. I guess I can see with the roads being flooded and damaged they needed to stay in place until it was safe to evacuate them all. Since the storm happened the way it did and it was at night they probably had only a minimum of staff on duty, so the prisoners probably thought they were abandoned but they weren’t in reality. My only suggestion would be for the state and federal authorities to prepare better like I said with the food and water, since you never know what is going to happen in this world today. We can’t really do anything about the electricity and plumbing besides wait I guess in a storm of this magnitude.

My daughter killed her ex boyfriend in a self defense shooting. The investigating officer said it was clearly self defense. She immediately turned herself in. She wasn't put in handcuffs, and rode with the officer to the police station. The police captain, in order to help his ego, said to arrest her. Nobody bothered to look into her ex boyfriend's background, to see that he had already been arrested 2 times for domestic violence, against my daughter. NC has a stand your ground law, but it doesn't seem to apply if you know your assailant. The system is corrupt and poorly run. It's all about collecting the money. Inmates at the local jail, are forced to pay for third world medical care. They serve unhealthy food, so the inmates are forced to buy slightly less unhealthy food at outrageous prices. They won't allow visitors or letters, so inmates are forced to pay to talk to friends, relatives, and even their attorneys. They limit toilet paper usage, so they must improvise. They will sometimes sell overpriced items to inmates, only to seize them later, and say it's contraband. The corruption is out of control, but people who haven't been put through it, or didn't know someone who went through it, don't have a clue.

I’m in NENC, we can look at hurricanes and know, evacuate or ride. This hurricane was similar to the one that hit our coast in 2018. The amount of water dumped prior to an after arrival is what did so much damage! Places well outside creek and river flooding levels - per history - were completely washed away! The water was so high they found ppl in trees. TREES!!! A LOT must be looked into regarding this event!! Ppl will be displaced just like Katrina. Not only that but you have land grabs going on…which HAS to be researched, esp considering the mineral rights! Thankfully, the prisions weren’t washed away, unlike so many!

It doesn't surprise me whatsoever. It's sickening.

[@jeffmercer9655]

How's it sickening the people around them were going through the same stuff they was how do they deserve better

[@stephenreiner1523]

@@jeffmercer9655 Should you have to die as punishment from a natural disaster and how many of them were proven guilty I might add. It's the same as the pharisees telling Ponchos Pilate that Christ was the son of God and was saying blasphemous statements. If they didn't admonish him to the Roman detachment nothing would have been done. Such was not the case was it as Christ was nailed to the cross and in the agonizing minutes before his true death which meant the soul also died. Pilates wife dreamt that he was indeed the son of man and not to do this. Shortly after he gave the order his life was taken by a heart attack. Do you feel that there was a reason for this, absolutely. Father he cried why has thou deserted me and the father had to look away. Is it possible that on judgement day your going to stand in front of the Creator and echo that same sentiment? Rest assured that will be the last thing that comes to mind. Be of good faith and God bless.

[@stephenreiner1523]

@jeffmercer9655 and you presume that they were all guilty? Even if they were do they deserve a death sentence? Just wondering.

[@Gardenwitch-b8f]

20 years later and still repeating the same mistakes smh

[@UnforgettableFireLLC]

Bleeding heart has no clue what we the non criminal types are STILL dealing with. She makes me sick

[@really7497]

I had a feeling they was going to do this!

[@luigigamer5671]

This is sad however you should of thought about what crime you did before losing your life to these storms stop breaking the law

[@ledheadkustomplastic3442]

STAY OUT OF TROUBLE!!!! 🤬 STAY OUT OF JAIL 🤬. STOP PLAYING VICTIMS 🤬👍🇺🇲

[@janblackman6204]

Guess they shouldn’t have committed the crimes

[@paigeu23]

I agree that this is silly. I am all for prison reform but nobody could navigate the main roads for almost a week and many people were not contacted by rescue for 2-3 weeks. This sad situation was another horrible consequence of a horrible event…it is by no means nefarious.

[@chasfwebb]

You should be ashamed of this, go stir up crap somewhere else

[@Ralph-dt5gs]

Most confinement population, could be utilized to help when disaster strikes. Theyd be partially free and it would be a positive outcome. LE can supervise their conduct. The most violent criminals arent considered. Its a worthy cause for the purpose of manpower. Work release would make a difference. Its used to fight wild fires and other natural distasters. Its giving back to society.

[@RobertAllen-e4i]

No human being should be left locked up without supplies,period.

[@lonnieburkes8166]

Is it privately owned?

[@atimberline]

good question

THANK Fema

[@carynmartin6053]

God bless this woman for caring like this!🎉❤

[@anonone8954]

Shouldn't be a criminal.

[@Dyan.S61]

The people that are responsible and do nothing are criminals. These disasters are being created! Sorry if it seems unbelievable, not believing doesn't change facts.

[@MsTygame]

Prisoner don’t need to feel alone they left the free people too.

[@jerrihamilton5307]

Everyone in authority needs to be held accountable. As TRUMP would say they all need to be fired!

[@megacide84]

This environmental disaster is EXACTLY WHY we must collectively scream for the total greening of the prison system. From this point forward. All new and pre-existing prisons must be built or retrofit with environmentally sustainable materials. All water and power must be sourced from renewable resources only. Absolutely no exceptions. Any and all material going to inmates must be 100% recyclable. There will be no wastage. All food will be strictly vegan and wholly organic. Heavily salted and sugered snacks as well as anything high in saturated fats and sodium will be immediately phased out. Lastly, Any and all reading and viewing material going to inmates must exclusively reflect the environmental movement for education and indoctrination. Remember people... There is no planet B.

Try twelve days no power in Mccormick SC. Barely feed in a hot box

[@marycrandles4682]

🙏real news for reporting on this

[@juaniolovato3294]

Thats cold. I seen it personally from Katrina in La.😢

[@albertroberts4053]

Jesus spoke specifically about this with the prisoner.

[@ScarletAdhesive]

What were they supposed to do with them? Risk the lives and well being of law abiding citizens? No, they suffered some but compared to others it's relatively small. Get over it!!!!

[@jerrihamilton5307]

I’ve been wondering what happened to everyone behind bars. Hadn’t heard anything until now about this. Thank you for the coverage. This is unexceptable.

[@AllisonBoone-h8t]

It's sad that it takes conditions like this for someone to take a 2nd look at the prison system in our country. Yet here in NC and the dept of corrections for women is deplorable. Women live in extreme heat with no escape to air conditioning, no access to quality health care or self-care of prisoners. Let me pose this question: what crime constitutes our Corrupt Justice system the power to deem one's life a waste? Prison is supposed to reform yet it recycles the vicious cycle until we as a society stand up and do something about it.

[@alvashoemaker8536]

THIS vid’s SO EXASPERATING!! OBVIOUSLY, YOU’VE NOT dealt with violence… besides that, YOU get “vid time” by this post. I agree with “jcbell-dh 1 be”; NOW…tell me, WHICH group are YOU going to save; which group are you going to save…?! THEN, will YOU provide the necessary vehicles to move them? WHY NOT??! (I’ll NOT look at vids associated with you.. 🙄😐. (It strikes me that you are naive; but, THAT’S your choice…)

[@tabithaletterman3595]

I live in Lake Lure the depiction of the hurricane's path at the beginning of the video is that exact it went straight over Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee. .

[@deborahelliott8460]

As they do this with prisoners, imagine what they did to those who were in the hospitals. My heart broke over this. I lost 2 families and I was NOT allowed to try to find them. So yea, I agree, this was sooooo uncalled for. Even prisoners need care and love.

[@atimberline]

The authorities are not above such crimes. ...such abides to often under the label "law and order"

[@feathers1770]

Get a CLASS ACTION Lawsuit. All the inmates file together in ONE case. File it as a tort. United We Stand or We Fall

[@williamabaker12]

Listening to this guy try to form or voice a coherent thought was brutal.

[@SAMOS-ts5vy]

Incarceration for profit is disgusting.prisoners are just $$ for the state from the fed.gov

[@morganstewart-kp2dy]

Safety and welfare is the he state responsibility! Whether man or women!

[@lindamannix1247]

Don't forget the nursing homes ! Prisons will be last, I'm sure . Likely didn't know what to do with them ?

[@KaileyB616]

This just is not the same situation as what happened to the prisoners in Katrina... all things considered, their living situation was actually better than the rest of the population.

[@Steve-l4n7p]

I don't want to have to pay for it but I see a bunch of lawsuits coming

[@TyreFwatt]

Justice system eh ? Doesn't sound like justice to me . Every day it proves itself to be In the business of injustice .

[@GregBallard-e1p]

If there are no POS guards at a prison there should be no inmates at a prison. You know damn good and well if there is a big enough problem the prison will become a cemetery.

[@cynthiacruz1119]

What was the perfect plan that should have been implemented? When roads are washed out and so many have died, would it have been better to risk the prisoner's deaths? This seems to be a witch hunt.😢

[@kayllewilkins5722]

I was in black mountain when it hit. We didn't leave till the 30th. We had no water or power. I dnt think they have any yet. We was running out of food and meds for us so they sent all of us that was on meds to Walter B Jones to finish out the rehab part bc they was running out of them like I said before. Idk how they made the way for us to get down the mountain bur they did. When I actually got ro see everything I was like omg it was/is really bad. They cldnt get food in to us. That's another reason they sent us. They didnt wanna have to deal with a bunch of dope sick ppl with no food. Bc they ran out of our methadone and subs. That wlda been really bad. So they went on head and done it. But I wld nt recommend the rehab at Walter B Jones to no one nt even my worst enemy. But yes it is really really bad.

[@chickapeas5646]

I went to Walter B Jones about 12 years ago. It is horrible! I had never been in trouble just wanted to get clean, boy, I was in for a shock. They don’t feed you hardly anything. Nothing like Black Mountain, I’m sure! Glad you are on this side of it!
