What Happens To Prisoners During A Disaster?

Being a prisoner locked behind bars, you miss out on the rest of the world, but what about when natural disaster strikes? Are prisoners left for dead, or does the government have a plan to transport the criminals to a safe place? Well this has happened a number of times in history, with hurricanes and floods, and in today's amazing video we're going to show you what happens to prisoners during a natural disaster.

"What happens to prisoners during a disaster." Prison Break: *allow me to introduce myself.*

[@jamesdorpinghaus3294]

I'm fairly conservative politically. But with my sense of morality I believe there should be some serious reforms to our prison system in the U.S. people are people. No matter the horrendous crimes they may or may not have committed. I think privatization of prisons is a disaster. And at that, even private prisons should be federally required to have a/c in the very least. And definitely better contingency plans should shtf. We all (in the U.S.) have 3 inalienable rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I think that putting someone's life at risk due to lack of a/c violates that.

As embarrassing as it is to say I was in a county jail on the coast North Carolina during a hurricane evacuation once. The packed us up and took us to a jail about an hour inland. I was there for 15 days sleeping on a mat on the floor. It wasn't pleasant. That jail was much worse than the one I came from. I've since turned my life around since then.

[@dreamcatcher3286]

I am from new orleans and my buddy was in opp *during Katrina... people died and were murdered in there and their bodys left around the others. I know one of the guys they said had died from unrelated cardiac arrest. Yah right... my friend is truly traumatized. I was even wrongfully arrested about 6 months after Katrina in Orleans parish and they could make a crazy movie just from what I experienced in there.... I was let out with an "oops sorry about that" almost a week later!

[@reallyriley123]

I would love for something crazy like that to happen near me cause this is exactly how the guards would act EASILY. Like at least let them out of their cell and up out of water or something

[@blake7587]

Um no. You can’t let them out of their cells or they’ll simply overpower the guards and escape into society. Then you have hundreds of murderers, pedophiles, child rapists, and all kinds of psychopaths running loose through society. However they could have let the non-violent offenders out and the prisoners with not much time left to serve.

[@wendyc1902]

Katrina prisoners were shipped up to our brand new prison that hadn't opened yet. I heard there was a ton of damage that had to be repaired before they could officially open up.

[@Bdear1]

I was just wondering about this, after my state had an earthquake, as well as w/ the virus. I've never been in trouble, so I'm ignorant. I do know No matter their crimes, they are friends, children, parents, & people. They need to serve their time safely, especially since so many have been proven innocent. Others turn their lives around, or are in jail for something like 1 kid, accused of stealing a backpack, he served 3 yrs before he died. No matter who they are, It's not safe for anyone to be in those conditions. I know putting them in even tighter wouldn't help things fights, but temp during the flood, why couldnt they add 1 more per cell upstairs till flooding is done. Fear for days wasnt needed. Guards could've let them know that they weren't left & forgotten. I would think being treated like an animal would reinforce how they feel , & give them less chances.

[@ualuuanie]

And we have USA screaming human rights to other nations. Have they looked at their prison system recently?

[@Sassybflylady]

This was a great topic!

[@noelhutchins7366]

slightly grey walls will still conduct heat, so, even without AC, a prison could still be painted high-gloss enamel white deflecting heat from sunlight: also, underground air is colder than the air trapped under a roof; if channeled, escaping warm-air would draw cool-air up; any underground corridors in the prison would cool the airflow from basement to ceiling if given a series of grills to pass through.

[@alien1299]

My point is , prisoners are the waste of society and should not be helped. And the millions of dollars which went to help the waste could have actually been used in the overall fight against global warming.

I think the treatment of prisoners is inhumane with the air conditioning thing especially.

If you're wondering how jail is during the outbreak, its literally just social distancing, more lockdowns, and masks, and more strict rules regarding being close to another person, I know first hand because I was in a Regional Youth Detention Center (or RYDC) because I (accidentally) went along in a convo about a school shooting against our regional High School (DO NOT DOOO!!!!!)

No matter what crimes have been committed its the officers and wardens job to ensure safety and evacuation a delayed response or an attitude of let's just wait and see just how bad it gets knowing an evacuation needs to be done is absolutely not acceptable in any way shape or form excusable and before that argument of well there is no where to put them because of over crowding oh well if u can't do ur job then find a job that doesn't require that kind of decision making

[@arthurmorgan3972]

I wonder why? Lol "Here let me steal 10-20 years of your life when your crime has no victims." That's also another reason felons aren't allowed to have guns. Most of them got way more time then they deserved and have a bone to pick with the government so they'd be on the front lines during a revolution. They give people years in prison when they should just be giving them weeks or maybe even months when their crimes have no victims.
