Prison is Horrible But Not For the Reason You Think

[@stevefox3763]

im 41 now and have never been back but at 18 i got two and a half years in prison and it was the worst experience ive ever gone though. its a frightening place for someone who isnt a real criminal and there are better punishments you can give people, prison should be reserved only for those who are a danger to society or those who do not comply with other punishments. I met so many vulnerable people inside and they get bullied day in day out and nobody stops it, the prison system is broken and only serves to make people into worse humans

_"He had begun to normalise his environment"_ this is exactly why I am convinced that prisons are counter-productive. They normalise violence and agression for individuals who would otherwise not have been violent or aggressive, and got locked up for a minor crime. They are now much more likely to committ a more violent crime after their release, and what is worse, is that they'll do so for a relatively minute gain or reason. This is also why I believe therapy and rehabilitation procedures conducted by trained psychologists is a much better way to deal with crime, as they do in Scandinavian countries

In Sweden breaking out of jail is not a crime. This is because of how the endeavor to gain freedom is viewed as a basic human instinct.

Anyone would act like a child if they don’t have freedom of choice. It is free will and freedom of choice alone that makes us adults at all. It’s literally the only difference.

Unless their problem is drugs than they should be detoxed first and then sent to do service.

You want to get tough join military or go to prison the only difference is prison is far more boring and unhelpful due to idle time.

I went and came out with a pretty normal mind. It only effects people if they have long sentences. If you have a pretty short one of a year then you won't change at all.

@@cassiestephenson509 yeah but you're saying they deserve that type of prison for thinking others deserve that type of prison. Which makes you one of them, so you're saying you also deserve to be in that type of prison. Do you see the paradox?

I'm a prison gaurd. We do our best to prevent alot of the bad that happens. There are a few bad eggs in our employee but they have been swiftly dealt with. And hate to say it. Prisoners are there for a reason, and prison shouldn't be a luxury camp. We dont want people to come back after all.

Summary The purpose of a prison is to change the behavioral problems of a person and to re-educate them so that they would be re-ntegrated into society. Its not only the prison but the justice system, funding system of the government and the government itself that affects prisons overall.... the world is changing so should prisons around the world, not only in America but everywhere else....

[@undrtakr900]

The purpose of the prisons is to make the inmate's experience as inhumane & degrading as possible to break their will/spirit and *increase* recidivism rates, so the Private Prisons can make more money.

Please continue to make videos related to this! These injustices must be spoken about or it will continue unchecked! Thank you for talking about these subjects, I think that all police officers, judges, prosecutors, anyone who has a job related to or capability to send someone to prison, should have to spend a week or so there, like that cop you mentioned in the documentary. That would give them the perspective that they need. It would be nice if you could mention some things that we, as average citizens, can do to bring about prison reform, and end the injustice being committed at regular, non-celebrity prisons. Should we call our government officers, or give to a charity for prison reform? Please let us know in your next video that has to do with prison. That would be really helpful! But thank you for shedding light on those subjects which are difficult to talk about

[@isaacmoody1187]

The Yakima Washington jail is the cesspool it can be derived from the underhanded and evil intentions of the people who run the jail as well as those that work there victimizing the inmates for their own Joy just because they have power over you. Even if it was for marijuana.

the screams from the Isolation ward at nights, at first it was hard sleeping, then it started worrying me that i got used to them.

[@sburton015]

I'm not sure exactly what the state prison is like, but I did do 90 days in the county jail for a DUI in 2012. I do remember that they keep it very cold inside and it may be just the same routine everyday that would drive one crazy, like every 4 hours, they would say "count time, get on your bunks, count time". Also I do remember the constant noise because you stayed in a dorm with at least 100 other people. At least I didn't have any problems with violence. Still, I would much rather live in the place where I'm at in my profile picture which is in a ranch called Santa Maria de los baños in El Marqués near Querétaro, México. There, it seems to be even more relaxing than most places in the United States.

There are horrible people in prison that can never rehabilitate into society, but a lot of them just want to come back to society and live an honest life or to change themselves for the better. But it’s way too difficult for them to do so because it’s so hard to find jobs
