Mate, we are a country so overrun with convicts we took over and colonised the place. The only thing we have seemed to of done is successfully relabeled "alcoholism" to "Australian culture"
Australia was not a humanitarian prison by any means. people were made slaves over minor infractions and sent into a inhospitable hellhole where many many people died. Just cause it used to be a sort of prison doesn't give Australia any kind of credibility.

Here's my liberal magic: See this money? This is your money, right? I took it out of your pocket, right? Now look.... Loooook... Look closer! Closer! CLOSER! BAM! GONE!
worked in corrections (not a guard) for 7 years, and only did publicly owned prisons, and i can tell you they have loads of rehabilitation programs, and adequate staffing, i would often have talks with the Prison manager (boss of a whole Gaol) and he would often quote "we are correctional facilities, not Prisons, we're a lot different than america", 100p can confirm this video is totes accurate.
yeah, the government gaols are actually overstaffed becuase they hire anyone with 2 digit IQ... Ive seen ALOT of shit and lack of staff only applies to certain areas and public holidays which bring on penalty rates... as for the rehab and programs, i beg to differ... theyve killed off tafe, and most education... there are massive queues for rehab and offender programs whereby people are denied their parole becuase they cant get into those programs whilst in custody which was th epoint of being put there in the first place... then there is the failure of healthcare with the hiring of uneducated ignorant staff who deliberately fudge docuements and allowing inmates to go without treatment... I could go on... Gaol is gaol.. but the system is broken and wont be repaired... the idea for all this opening of more private prisons, is to shut down long bay gaol despite its heritage listing and sell off the $15b property to development... then flog all th einmates off to the new huge prison down south west currentluy being developed... if you tihnk im kidding, jsut watch and wait... it'll happen and its been the talk of long bay for the last 6 yrs now... Its already underway... the public arent being told though...
Yes my partner after a year in a correctional facility, became a qualified boiler maker, got clean and healthy, got jail muscles, even made some decent art! and it actually went along way to rehabilitate him, but I think thats what is happening, a lot of crack users end up there and the jails are wearing the burden of addictions and undiagnosed mental health issues
Private prisons. The definition of a bad idea. More criminals = more money. It's about as insane as allowing big business to 'donate' to political parties.
@74KU when private prisons are only in existence to bolster the revenue of scumbag politians whose only existence in government is who can lie to the public the most and be elected to fool thr public thr best most of the time in Australian politics, which funny enough Democrat dogs were in the last electorate ballot (written Nazi mutts and pedophilia supporters, surprised it didn't get mentioned in 7 news as a mysterious voter cunt 😂😂😂) most prison systems even public and Juvie prison systems are just cheap slave labour (as Jordie said: repeat offenders) a successful prison turnout (criminal into someone that is productive to society is a slight loss on revenue of a life-long moneybag where human life in prison systems is numbers and stats). It's quite sad because the Juvie near Airds does the same thing, known a repeat offender (who was a gun runner) before Southdown Road, Airds got knocked down admitted Juvie is a modern day slave labour camp
Australia is too self deprivating to play with the real concept of liberalism too scared of enjoying themselves flagulance and appathy is more our cup of tea homogonised mediocre generica and a militant out look on life
@@LoupiOlorel the Labour Party is supposed to be like a sort of classical left wing party (think unions, workers rights, that kind of thing). The greens are basically the far left party that no one pays attention to. And the liberals are similar to the Conservatives. Probably not a very good run down, but that's a good way to oversimplify it in one small comment.
Lol.. or maybe when he says “liberal party” he really means the government of Australia.. the registered company that owns the liberal and the Labour Party… oh and the greens..
Australia actually has more people incarcerated by private prisons (as a percentage of the prison population) than america ironically, (18.5% versus 8%) BUT there is a loophole in the 13th amendment that means prisoners can be used for slave labour as a form of punishment, so there is definitely as much and more incentive to put people in prison in America.
The more prisoners behind bars the more the state pays them. The prison corporations then skimp out on spending this money on the prisoners so they can squeeze out more profit.
Australia likes to copy everything Americans do. America does not give free healthcare, so we don't give free healthcare. America restricts welfare to the poor, so we restrict welfare to the poor. America chooses to start some crazy war, so we join the crazy war. It is our nations great regret we never had slavery as well.
ooo mate glad u mentioned nursing homes. would love 2 see a video exploring that more. love that my nana too can be a commodity for multinational corps. in nz, and seemingly around the world, aged residential care needs to be radically changed. multinat ceos and all those profiting off of sick care to the detriment of their patients need to be pushed into the sea.
Agree but nothing's gonna change it's just gonna get incrementally worse and worse,wrath is the only immoveable object too stand against the unstoppable force of private corporations and shadow governments
Australia? maybe you should spend some time in North Korea and re-evaluate how you see the country. Technically society is a "prison" but it's a prison that keeps us from being tribes men freezing and burning to death and dying to every virus
Southside Gamer uhh, I think he was referring to the fact that we are a country that was literally formed by colonies of prisoners that were sent in to live in it, making the country pretty much one giant prison.
U take on very deep subjects and make them ape along to a wider viewing audience as a 14 year old watching your videos gives me a laugh and also helps me understand out politics and government thanks mate

@@uuncoolguy6 yeah, but maybe it's good. This generation understands far more about politics than my did and I'm almost 23... when they turn 18-21 they will have a better understanding and can make better decisions
Holy shit. Only ever seen your KFC advert until today and now seeing all of the other stuff you make on your channel amazes me. You are incredibly talented both as a speaker and a comedian. Keep doing what you're doing and I'll be coming back for more and supporting you however I can. Much love from Norway my man.
This reminds me of when I was locked up at Parklea for over a year (run privately by MTC Broadspectrum), some weeks we'd be locked in for upwards of 6 days in a cell with no sunlight, they wouldn't order enough dinners for all the prisoners and almost daily some people would eat cereal for dinner. And then they wonder why every time they opened their doors they were getting stabbed or bashed. Have a few pieces of paperwork stating we'd be locked down for days to train staff due to the amounts of assaults
Brilliant mate! Also super funny how Scandinavia actually seem to focus on rehabilitation and have had incredible results on prison education and boosting the workforce. But then again if there's money to be made, fuck the disenfranchised./s As a leading nation, how are we still so backwards
As a Finn, I can only agree with above comment. The Nordic prisons are considered the best in the world with the lowest number of recidivism. My father spent 6 months in a Finnish prison and as kids we didn't even know. He was allowed to work (non-violent crime) and to spend time with us. It's insane that we in Australia have this system.
I don’t understand why people fall for this “tough on crime” rhetoric. When a politician in the United States says it, all it means is that they care more about convictions than justice, and that they are willing to torture prisoners.
Keep criticising the government and you'll find out what prison is really like for up to 15 years. Australia is becoming a police state and it's fucking terrifying. More exposé on Serco, people need to know about all the facets they have a hand in.
Serco is a SHIT company that treats their workers like ABSOLUTE FUCKING GARBAGE. A family member of mine worked for them for 7 months and says it’s the WORST job out of 5 that he’s had that he’s ever had in his life.
Also, throw me the fuck in jail! See how well it goes when there are so many people in jail that they end up killing the few guards that they have, breaking out of the prison and committing more crimes.
Surprisingly, this channel is very educational as this is the first time I’m ever learning that we have private prisons in Australia, I thought they were just an American thing
We had one private prison in Ontario, Canada, One. It was converted to a public prison because it cost more to operate and provided worse service. If that doesn't show that private prisons are terrible I don't know what will.
I've done time in a serco run prison, they sold it in 2012 to the government for immigration detention tho it was too out dated and by the time it was feesable to upgrade it, the government changed and it all went to shit but point of the story is it was literally not up to the standard of Manus island.
Yeah but their position has changed. They experimented with it, clearly hasn't worked, so Labor is in favour of putting those prisons back in public hands when the contracts expire. If the Liberals are re elected not only will they renew the contracts they're looking to privatise up to 5 more prisons and are putting the new one in Grafton straight into private hands
mshara1 I agree that current policy around contracts should be transparent to the public, and accountability needs to be increased, but there's currently massive overcrowding in our prisons, and it will continue to grow (12000 in prisons rn, 18000 expected by 2020). Building a new prison to cater for this (the Clarence corrections centre in Grafton is set to be Australia's biggest prison when complete in 2020) is not a bad thing just because it is privatised, considering how slow state infrastructure projects are to complete.
And public prisons aren't the perfect solution either, just this year at Silverwater an inmate died in custody. Where were the '1 per 15' prison guards?
Absolutely love your videos. Glad I finally found you haha you are very intelligent and creative and deserve more recognition and publicity. You are what Australia needs!! You and Josh wade would make a wicked collaboration ;)
Is there a petition we can sign or something? Maybe we should hassle Four Corners into doing an investigation. It worked with greyhound racing and live exports...for a bit.
Are you serious..... Lmao😂🤣🙃🤯 wrath,revolution,anger,creation through destruction is THE ONLY way.....diplomacy doesn't exist it is the blindfold that keeps you eating their shit
An old friend of mine went to prison for stabbing someone. When he came out he said it was just boring in there, there’s nothing to do. He now smokes ice but has a job. I think the boredom scared him straight. He doesn’t want to be that bored ever again.
Hey! My husband was a CO for 5 years in an American prison. If you ever want to talk more about this I can probably connect you. Thanks for making a video on this.
i live about a kilometre away from that infamous parklea prison. we have a joke around here that whenever a helicopter is around, we say something along the lines of "oh, looks like someone's escaped parklea again" because of how easy it is to get out of there
in WA the worst prisons have been government controlled and this is with liberal and labor in power. bandyup (womens) and hakea (mens medium [worse than maximum because max inmates have "earned their stripes", are in there for longer, and medium is filled with younger blokes with massive egos trying to make a name for themselves.) of course it varies state to state but from what i've heard the 2 worst prisons in australia are Long Bay in sydney (mens maximum [i'm pretty sure. my mate has been there. done time all over the country...] and Bandyup (edit: Perth's womens prison). OVER 70% OF THE INMATES IN BANDYUP HAVE HEPATITIS C THAT IS EASILY SOME AMERICAN PRISON LEVEL OF FUCKED UP...
I was on the fence about privatising prisons but this has changed my mind, i guess the most convincing argument is that private prisons main goal would be to have as many prisoners and to keep them coming back.
Thanks for referring to the disabled guy as "disabled" and not using some obnoxious term like "differently abled". We don't tend to get any say in how we're represented (hence, the disabled community's saying, "Nothing about us without us.") and the way people talk about us MATTERS. The term "disabled" is not an insult or a dirty word, because being disabled is not shameful. For anyone wanting to know, the two terms preferred & used by the VAST majority of us are "disabled person" and "person with disabilities". Some prefer to put the identity first, while others prefer the person-first version.
Chronically Fabulous where does the push for other terms for disabilities come from? Would appreciate a link to any resources on that, if you have time.
For fellow Brits, this looks pretty much like G4S eh? To varying degrees this is most sectors of the economy, a conspiracy of interests that has slowly concentrated.
They used to be in Australia. I dated a female prison guard that worked for them, red head too. Goes without saying really, but I'm unbelievably effin stupid.
What a reliable source. Literally you gave no sources and just said what you heard a few criminals claim, of which you don't even have any evidence of them saying.
6:10 that part about drugs and weapons are defently true, my brother went to prision here yeah of course Australia in vic, for 4 months, in that time there he was smoking weed and rock, and tobacco yet all of the above is banned and yeah tobacco is. he called me up saying i need to transfer some money for that weed he got to another prisioner lol
I've worked at Parklea on the new yard they're constructing in max security, for 3 hours, all I heard was screaming coming from the housing being used close by, and not to mention I live within 100 meters of the prison also, it's a bit fucked
What're the chances of doing a video on private prisons in Queensland especially ones in the Brisbane/Ipswich area? Would love to see a follow up video on this topic. Keep up the great work.
I should ask my uncle about GEO. He's worked for them for ages. My father worked in the public system, and the and uncle who works in the private system. I'll ask them both about it. I'm sure it could be a fun chat
I have a concept of turning almost the entire Simpson Desert into a giant prison. All cells will be solitary, containing nothing more than a simple bed, toilet, and water dispenser.
That last part, when you started shouting, I could feel tingling in my body and imagining a people uprising at night, becoming a united army, but a religious army, and escaping that prison. Imagine that... A converted people from prison becoming a religious army, doing better for society than the general populous have done.
Ok really weird that I picked this up but why did the soundtrack to a little game called Yesterday start playing around 3:50 and 4:00, who ever added it thanks that game was weird but great.
I'm sorry, but the point of prisons - at least in Victoria - seems to be retribution, not rehabilitation. Pharmacist colleagues of mine have done shifts at prisons. The conditions there are little better than Guantanamo. The atmosphere is depressing to be around. Guards are few and far between - although you wouldn't know that unless you went behind the gates. The people there are addicted on heroin, on oxycodone, on ice, have histories of trauma and psychiatric disorders, and are unpredictably violent or aggressive. The methadone doses they are on would be lethal for the opioid naive. The doctors that do work there are often fresh faced registrars on their first year in psychiatry. They just want to get their cases done and get out - there's no handover or treatment plans. If there are treatment plans they aren't followed. The nurses are at best apathetic and at worst outright hostile. And who can blame them? The people nurses deal with are people that have in all likelihood hurt them in the past. The "system" seems to be one in which people with say, a short prison sentence for a misdemeanour comes out a hardened criminal. Just about the only thing that is well kept are the medication administration records - and that is only because there are legislative penalties all up and down the chain for mismanagement and "lost" doses. The prospect for rehabilitation seems to me to be a sick joke. There is no redemption to be found behind those walls.
You really would have thought one thing Australia would have gotten right were prisons...
Mate, we are a country so overrun with convicts we took over and colonised the place.

Jordan is Australia's best!! Thanks for being incredible and always speaking up for the abused and neglected!
Is there a petition we can sign or something? Maybe we should hassle Four Corners into doing an investigation. It worked with greyhound racing and live exports...for a bit.
Are you serious..... Lmao😂🤣🙃🤯 wrath,revolution,anger,creation through destruction is THE ONLY way.....diplomacy doesn't exist it is the blindfold that keeps you eating their shit
Besides the maze of beurocracy that keeps us inneffectual
6:56 I didn't know Jordan was a rapper... He's got quite the flow
love the immerstion mate... i mean recording in a prison cell is next level!
An old friend of mine went to prison for stabbing someone. When he came out he said it was just boring in there, there’s nothing to do. He now smokes ice but has a job. I think the boredom scared him straight. He doesn’t want to be that bored ever again.
NipahMotherfuckers he’s a painter
Hey! My husband was a CO for 5 years in an American prison. If you ever want to talk more about this I can probably connect you. Thanks for making a video on this.
i live about a kilometre away from that infamous parklea prison. we have a joke around here that whenever a helicopter is around, we say something along the lines of "oh, looks like someone's escaped parklea again" because of how easy it is to get out of there
What's the music that plays from about 5:35 and onward?
in WA the worst prisons have been government controlled and this is with liberal and labor in power. bandyup (womens) and hakea (mens medium [worse than maximum because max inmates have "earned their stripes", are in there for longer, and medium is filled with younger blokes with massive egos trying to make a name for themselves.) of course it varies state to state but from what i've heard the 2 worst prisons in australia are Long Bay in sydney (mens maximum [i'm pretty sure. my mate has been there. done time all over the country...] and Bandyup (edit: Perth's womens prison). OVER 70% OF THE INMATES IN BANDYUP HAVE HEPATITIS C THAT IS EASILY SOME AMERICAN PRISON LEVEL OF FUCKED UP...
what did he say about prisons in wa?
Stuart is pretty bad
Super passionate about this topic and great to see getting airtime!
I was on the fence about privatising prisons but this has changed my mind, i guess the most convincing argument is that private prisons main goal would be to have as many prisoners and to keep them coming back.
Thoughts on Risdon, in Tasmania? The rates of imprisonment appear to be going down.
Wow. That ending. Literally the exact rant I've had recently.
2:30 ha that's Parklea Correctional Centre
Good shit Jordie, I love the rants set to hardcore beats!
Thanks for referring to the disabled guy as "disabled" and not using some obnoxious term like "differently abled". We don't tend to get any say in how we're represented (hence, the disabled community's saying, "Nothing about us without us.") and the way people talk about us MATTERS. The term "disabled" is not an insult or a dirty word, because being disabled is not shameful.
For anyone wanting to know, the two terms preferred & used by the VAST majority of us are "disabled person" and "person with disabilities". Some prefer to put the identity first, while others prefer the person-first version.
You're differently abled if you think I'm reading all that.
Thanks for the explination :)
Maybe he should have referred to him as "chronically fabulous"
Testosterone Onions I don't expect people with a disinclination towards reading to read anything.
Chronically Fabulous where does the push for other terms for disabilities come from? Would appreciate a link to any resources on that, if you have time.
This guy has talent. Love the characters he comes up with.
Excellent video and delivered with such conviction that I was somewhat scared for a moment
Dude. I love these vidoes when you go straight for the jugular
Spot on, can confirm most of this. Well done for bringing it to light guy.
I forgot about angryjordies, I miss him.
For fellow Brits, this looks pretty much like G4S eh?
To varying degrees this is most sectors of the economy, a conspiracy of interests that has slowly concentrated.
They used to be in Australia. I dated a female prison guard that worked for them, red head too. Goes without saying really, but I'm unbelievably effin stupid.
@@HighwayRamos G4S still run jail's in Victoria
What a reliable source. Literally you gave no sources and just said what you heard a few criminals claim, of which you don't even have any evidence of them saying.
What’s the synth pad sound effect at 1:04 from? I’ve heard it a lot in Jord’s videos
give this man a oscar
6:10 that part about drugs and weapons are defently true, my brother went to prision here yeah of course Australia in vic, for 4 months, in that time there he was smoking weed and rock, and tobacco yet all of the above is banned and yeah tobacco is. he called me up saying i need to transfer some money for that weed he got to another prisioner lol
I've worked at Parklea on the new yard they're constructing in max security, for 3 hours, all I heard was screaming coming from the housing being used close by, and not to mention I live within 100 meters of the prison also, it's a bit fucked
you do great work when you’re filled with righteous fury 👏👏👏👏
What're the chances of doing a video on private prisons in Queensland especially ones in the Brisbane/Ipswich area? Would love to see a follow up video on this topic. Keep up the great work.
I should ask my uncle about GEO. He's worked for them for ages. My father worked in the public system, and the and uncle who works in the private system. I'll ask them both about it. I'm sure it could be a fun chat
Yep. Didnt know how bad it was till I saw Michael Moore's documentary : Where To Invade Next. Prisons are not about rehabilitation.
I have a concept of turning almost the entire Simpson Desert into a giant prison. All cells will be solitary, containing nothing more than a simple bed, toilet, and water dispenser.
*Mic drop
5:58 it it wouldn’t be a friendlyjordies episode without either Bruz or Koala Killer
That last part, when you started shouting, I could feel tingling in my body and imagining a people uprising at night, becoming a united army, but a religious army, and escaping that prison. Imagine that... A converted people from prison becoming a religious army, doing better for society than the general populous have done.
Lmfao the dog part is gold. I bet your neighbors didn’t even flinch
I love you so much, I grew up around people like your characters, they all considered me their straight stuck up friend 🤣
3:10 best joke you have ever done.
Ok at the end I nearly crapped myself.
How *do* you get into a private prison anyway? Do you pay a bit extra/get a scholarship just like school and uni?
What’s the name of the really intense music Jordies uses towards the end of his videos?
hotline miami soundtrack it's off a game
Even in public prisons the guards just wait for fights to finish then step in
I am stoked that you have chosen to make a vid about this, but we are all being screwed by the 'privatisation' beast.
God the epic rants are the best part of your channel! Come back to Adelaide!
Ok really weird that I picked this up but why did the soundtrack to a little game called Yesterday start playing around 3:50 and 4:00, who ever added it thanks that game was weird but great.
Anyone know what that music is at the end of the video?
Gold, terrifying gold!
Jesus Jordies. You went ham on this. Your finest work yet. Bravo sir.
IVE BEEN TO ADELAIDE REMAND CENTRE AND PORT AUGUSTA AND THEY WERE BOTH FULL OF GUARDS
Dude you are comedy gold! I'm from Canada and can't understand half the references and political jokes but its still gold my friend!
Can someone please tell me the name of the song in the background at 20 seconds?
Been in the prison system in public prisons. Sadly most of these things and the lack of rehabilitation is also true in there.
110k per prisoner a year. I mean most Australians don't spend that much on themselves and their family per year.
"Ya putrid dog karnt" = " I have also read Nietzsche, but Schopenhauer really gets me."
Legitimately terrifying.
Please do a video on Gerry Harvey and the GST on international sales.
I'm sorry, but the point of prisons - at least in Victoria - seems to be retribution, not rehabilitation.
Pharmacist colleagues of mine have done shifts at prisons. The conditions there are little better than Guantanamo. The atmosphere is depressing to be around. Guards are few and far between - although you wouldn't know that unless you went behind the gates. The people there are addicted on heroin, on oxycodone, on ice, have histories of trauma and psychiatric disorders, and are unpredictably violent or aggressive. The methadone doses they are on would be lethal for the opioid naive. The doctors that do work there are often fresh faced registrars on their first year in psychiatry. They just want to get their cases done and get out - there's no handover or treatment plans. If there are treatment plans they aren't followed.
The nurses are at best apathetic and at worst outright hostile. And who can blame them? The people nurses deal with are people that have in all likelihood hurt them in the past.
The "system" seems to be one in which people with say, a short prison sentence for a misdemeanour comes out a hardened criminal. Just about the only thing that is well kept are the medication administration records - and that is only because there are legislative penalties all up and down the chain for mismanagement and "lost" doses.
The prospect for rehabilitation seems to me to be a sick joke. There is no redemption to be found behind those walls.
Yeah well, i was jst leaving qld in a merc. With not plates and i had jst ground the serieal numbers off..long story, met some really top people.
Just like a really big sizzlers.... 😂😂😂😂😂
What's the song at 2:15 called?
