[@dirtyworks13]

Oh Comfortable and happy are two way different things. Unfortunately I got out the last time in 2003, Kicked a hardcore smack habit, totally sober, with the girl I love and still have no idea what happiness is. Inside I literally took my misery out on other people, fighting,been stabbed up, cops cracked my scull,sometimes though I think I was better there.It was the first time I ever, ever, didn't feel guilt.

[@bklyn_princess2986]

I understandthis video so much because i was there to experience all of this and seen everything this video is talking about thank god i was blessed it is over.

[@Stokedhavok]

DESHEEN EVANS I’m happy for you, Friend! ❤️😃

[@junejones9819]

She was pretty. Now life you can see on her face. We'll be safe.

[@whatsreallygoody]

OH YEAH, SCISSOR ! ! ! !

[@ryanfrizzell736]

Great video. Now I know more about Lee Arrendale State Prison.

[@brpitrepeters7983]

And this is what Institutionalized looks like.

[@OukaKisa]

@CrystalSnowfire thanks =3

[@ASTRO_NAUTIKAL]

Such a drastic difference from the hyper violent. aggressive, race divided, men's prisons. One female prisoner described it as an all girl "college campus"; when is the last time you heard a men's prison referred to as a "college campus"?

[@Stokedhavok]

Astro Nautik And it’s just another example of the stark difference between men and women, regardless of what feminazi’s claim. 👍🏻

[@andrewc2768]

@ 3:39 they show her last name as Cooke, but on her ID @ 4:34 you can see it says Cook.

[@OukaKisa]

@mannyb332211 yeah... your arguments have gotten off topic and have turned almost solely into insults... I won't be responding again. But I do want to say that I am not a stud or a butch. I am only a guy physically for now. And I'm not a know-it-all. I just know more about that than you do.

[@OukaKisa]

@OukaKisa*this = last... crazy typo... sorry

[@SuperWildsnorlax]

OMG @3:15 she looks like Tenille the SHIMMER wrestler.

[@mannyb332211]

@OukaKisa Proof? you just blurted out a bunch of countries, what's your source?

[@mannyb332211]

@OukaKisa so what what countries are less violent than the u.s accoring to you?

[@manweller1]

In men’s prision it’s in reverse the punks get a lot of attention. Only difference when the punks get out trust me they never want to go back.

[@esotericagenda]

@plainbob13 I guess...But I wouldn't really say they're living a better life. I would much rather live out here and have a difficult time, struggling to make ends meet, than be incarcerated and have everything given to me.

[@dr3amstat3s]

@Miikaika25 you know, surprisingly i think you could be right. i'm a lesbian, while i believe i was simply born into it, you really could be on to something with the nature vs. nurture idea.

[@cynthiadavid8014]

T looks fine she has adjusted well to prison

[@RandomlyDevin]

@831nortesalz *you're

[@ENr369]

@mannyb332211 canada also

[@OukaKisa]

@mannyb332211 looks like you missed the word "most" =3

[@telj1]

@gojkob99 YES!!!

[@florettagreene2967]

I been in prison

[@o0R3stless0o]

@Miikaika25 some are already gay before they go to prison while others are turned out or curious. Being that a lot of the women are looked up for years, they look for comfort in other women. Sexuality is fluid, you never know who you might end up with : man or woman..

[@kaylaprincess26]

hey it is wat is whatever floats your boat

[@OukaKisa]

@mannyb332211 If you can't understand what I'm saying that is when you ask so you don't look like an idiot when it turns out you misunderstood what was being said. And sorry for not being an English major. Also, no. I am an MTF transexual who hasn't gotten the operation yet.

[@hendersoncnc]

my bad 4:20

[@OukaKisa]

@mannyb332211 so I made a typo... big whoop. And calling somebody a homo who is lesbian (technically) isn't an insult, it's a state of fact.

[@dirtyworks13]

How long you do in there. Was it hard time. I always wondered about the Womens Lock up. We don't form really families as men, just get 5 or 6 people you hang with daily but those are one of the people I ended up fighting with.

[@snowboardhottie0000]

no they dont.

[@OukaKisa]

Prison population is soaring because we have a lot of stupid laws that are vastly enforced (and possibly Americans are more violent than most other cultures) Women prisons seem less violent than male prisons (though it could just be biased reporting)

[@itsMinuteMaid]

@Leonnidik I was in prison for 6 years, and it wasn't no country club. That's male prison though. Of course I don't know what it's like in women's prison, but I do agree with you that it seems that this girl is a little too comfortable. So, perhaps you're on to something with that chain-gang idea.

[@hendersoncnc]

damn @ 4:38

[@OnShoreGuide]

D:

[@aurathedraak7909]

Angry lesbians.

[@Kronikwookie]

1:42 that chick on the left.... are there conjugal visits? :D

[@curtismoff]

[@krazydezzle08]

[@ROTTYLUV4ME]

@Miikaika25 its called "gay for the state", you settle for it.

[@xjemiki2803]

Stay*

[@basedlord]

I used "you're" right. And stay on 9gag buddy.

[@BakersMulletBryan]

Guess you're learning all about prison bitches and 52 Blocks now, eh, Ronnie?

[@Sparkygravity]

@Miikaika25 The idea that people are either gay or straight is a bit of a myth. It's not consistent with historians know of other cultures (Dynastic china, India and Ancient Greece, for example). People tend to have sexual preference towards heterosexuality and it's this preference that was first exploited by puritan ideas that lead western and islamic cultures into idea that people should only be straight... and then later on to the idea that people are one or the other. It's just not true.

[@gungasc]

WTF? this has nothing to do with traction.

[@IUseTechDecks]

@gojkob99 go to jail then, LOL

[@michaelbaldwin5495]

She will be institutionalized and cost taxpayers a million dollars.

[@CrystalSnowfire]

@OukaKisa i disagree with mannyb332211 I htink if you want to and can then you should put your genes in the pool. You go yourself some fightin genes. The kind that stands up for itself. We could use a few more of those in this world. =)

[@mh20767]

[@t.vaimaona7219]

[@thepizzaelf]

[@manweller1]

Amber jimenez did you get turned out?

[@alabamagirl2725]

[@ericrenquist6494]

Its cute when I see this in the women prisons, but just down right disturbing in the mens

[@leeroy4208]

🤔🤡

[@AdelineCowgirl]

What does that even mean? It's cute when girls act masculine but disturbing when men act feminine?

[@Tedgoestojail]

trade schools?!?,How nice...,maybe that state can pay my 12k school bill.no weights,no school, no free time to mingle.Prisons are way to nice.....23hr lockdown,1hr free time alone each day.This bullshit will end.

[@tyjuanzubair7701]

Tee was mrva a dealer she was a trick

[@1zieske1]

Sucks for the Georgians that fund that lifestyle...

[@mannyb332211]

@OukaKisa "Americans more violent than most other cultures" hmm look up the yearly deathtoll due to violance of mexico or any other country south of the u.s and compared that to the u.s

[@bartman1238]

at a woman

[@bradleyii]

@ImRealityyy well blacks in the south that is.

[@tyjuanzubair7701]

The main. Stud was busted for prostution

[@Jistga]

Why do we capture the most dangerous people in the world and feed them a diet that keeps them strong? Fuck cruel punishment being illegal. If we fed these scums one meal a day they'd all lose weight and wouldn't be dangerous at all, or as dangerous. Then at least prison would be feared by everyone, not just the innocent.

[@Miikaika25]

I'm wondering are these women actually gay or is it something that happens as a mechanism in the brain where they simply settle into homosexual relationships for comfort. Someone should study this, it really is a key factor in rather homosexuality is nature or nurture.

[@theholyromanempire4102]

my dad got cocaine

[@subh1]

@Miikaika25 Homosexuality is mostly nurture than nature. Homosexuality is found to occur at an increased frequency among communities where same sex people live together and deprived of opposite sex - e.g. military camps, prisons. Even they can be induced by popular culture - e.g. read about the band Tatoo from Russia and its influence among contemporary young girls. Most of the time homosexuality id induced by desperation, deprivation and/or insecurity. Born-homosexuals are comparatively rare.

[@bradleyii]

@ImRealityyy you mean try to act like a "gangsta".. it just so happens that, that is how most blacks act...

[@tristanmason7405]

I’m sorry ms Homely you are not even cute no matter the facade you wear 💥🤣😆💥

[@boughtbysoros8968]

Gross

[@catherinedelleca3850]

Sorry hun, but you no stud. You looked heaps better before. Have enough confidence in yourself to be you.

[@DGRwill22]

People are not born gay LOL
