I spent 11 nights in a Louisiana “detention center” recently thanks to a sheriffs deputy who didn’t uphold his oath. I’m fighting all charges. Wish me luck!!!
Prison Logic: So my dog bit my neighbor. I then locked it in a small cage and did nothing but abuse it and feed it just enough garbage not to die it for 10 years. Decided to let it out and for some reason it didn't turn into a good boy. Nothing can be done, give me more money.
Not in the US. Nothing is hard to believe there PS- for a lot of countries for-profit healthcare sound like such a terrible idea that it is hard to believe it exists
As a foreigner it is absurd that they were ever allowed in the first place. If you wouldn't outsource your police force then why do that with prisons? Wouldn't a country that once fought the Brits have some realisation that not everyone who ends up in prison deserves to be there? Or that it is insane to outsource government functions like the Fire department, Police or Prisons?
Outside of a bunch of Free Market nuts passing this legislation in secret I really cannot fathom how it could have happened. Core government functions will always be a not-for-profit activity performed by the government.
I was taught that we should be grateful for it because it was a very, very tough choice that made poor old Lincoln feel bad and that it's simply asking for too much to demand for more. Cuz bargaining with slaveowners is just what a Freedom Liberty Justice Democracy does, apparently.
@@guy-sl3kr what was that comic where you have civil rights protestors on one side and the KKK on the other with a "centrist" in the middle asking "can't we compromise?"
I would add housing to that. Edit: not necessarily talking about builders (although them too if they make big profit margins for no reason), its more about landlords.
As I always say in every prison video: We need to divorce ourselves from the idea that "justice=punishment." People do need to be punished for crimes, and punishment is a part of rehabilitation, but that's where punishment should end. We shouldn't be punishing people because it makes us feel better, the goal of the justice system should be the betterment of society, not giving you an endorphin rush because Johnny got 175 years for bank robbery and that makes you feel good. The fact is the overwhelming majority of prisoners in the US will get released one day. Even most murderers don't die in prison. What kind of person do you want them to be when that day comes and moves in down the street from you? A lot of people from America trash Norway's prisons and say "well if the punishment is getting to go live in a hotel, why wouldn't everyone just commit all the crimes?!" as if it's some kind of joke. Norway's prisons do treat their inmates like humans, and they do give them productive jobs, and they do let them socialize in a healthy way, and guess what? Norway has one of the lowest recidivism rates in the world, at only 20%. If being HARD ON CRIME and PUNISHMENT worked, you would expect that number to be a lot higher. In the United States, where we have REAL PRISONs and REAL PUNISHMENT, roughly 66% of prisoners end up back in prison within 3 years of release. How is that good for society? We are failing. But no one cares because they just want to know that criminals are getting punished and that makes them feel good.
say that to any child who had been molested or someone whos family was killed fuck prisoners they need to be punished they broke the law, why should they be given a slap on the wrist.
@@cartoonhippie6610 I'll bet if we interrogated it, you would agree that at least some people who commit crimes/injustices should be punished - you just might disagree about which crimes deserve punishment.
You should do a video on the Troubled Teen Industry. I was sent to a "treatment center" in 2011 for the whole year for truancy! I was new to the state, no busses, so I couldn't get a ride which got me in trouble and they threatened to send my mom to prison. Turns out it was an ed consultant who gets paid to send kids to these programs. The state paid 120k for my stay. I can imagine they got a fat check. Also underfunded, no classes which messed me up as an AP student and constant physical/sexual abuse including roofing which could never be investigated because we had no evidence and weren't allowed to turn in any evidence. It was nightmare. I was clinically treated for years after for PTSD.

What's more a lot invest in and directly profit from it any they may not even realize it. Palantir for just one example is a very popular tech stock who make a lot of their income from "prison management support" software used by the private prison industry.
I have firsthand experience with the "justice" / prison systems' corruption. Hell, I wrote a damn book [Rebel Hell] about going to prison and how broken and racist it all is.
What's more, the people impacted have no recourse for their sentence rendered- beyond maybe leaving a one star review- because felony offenders cannot vote. Can we imagine why having the highest prison populations in the world might be impacting our policies?
People's insistence on punishment based incarceration is a curse to society, it enables further crimes both in and out of prison, the countries with the lowest recidivism rates tend to have rehabilitation focused incarceration, the more you treat them like people the lower the reoffence rate becomes
Why are "people" allowed into the discussion? A panel on prison reforms comprised of persons having a background in law and social work should be making such decisions, shouldn't they? You wouldn't expect public opinion to overrule an Engineer's opinion when it comes to constructing a dam or a bridge. I had a paper on Criminology and Penology last semester and as fucked as my country is boy am I glad we don't leave these decisions to the people.
@@grid462 Business is one thing but have you talked to the average Joe? Rehabilitation doesn't even come close to a concern, it's "justice", meaning getting even or made an example of no matter the cost.

This is why it should be left to experts in law, ethics, and social sciences to determine how the system operates.

When one of my oldest friends was in prion for a year in Florida, my other friend and I tried to visit him several times. Without failure, every time we attempted to see him they said we couldn't because they were "moving him to another room." We were teenagers at the time, so we didn't think to contest it, but that's what they did to keep us from seeing and talking with him.
I have an ex-partner that worked for CCA before the name change, in a very red state. He’s one of the most calm, non-expressive people I’ve ever met; he’s told me stories and cried.

I remember realizing a lot of stuff I always knew about the justice system but couldn’t prove was sitting before me.

New Mexico had a couple of for profit prisons, and then decided that's a terrible idea and the state took them over. Our state pushes hard on for profit prisons to not be terrible.

The nitpickiest of nitpicks: Coke is not "brown sugar water". Water has a pH of roughly 7, coke has a pH of 2.5, therefore "brown sugar water" is far too generous a term. It's definitely acid.
Back in the early 2000s, I worked as a therapist at a for profit juvenile detention facility in Florida. A private company provided all of the behavioral health services. All youth were on Medicaid unless they were undocumented. We had to make sure that every kid got a behavioral health service every single day so we could bill Medicaid. This meant kids had to attend group 7 days a week. That meant therapists had to come up with group work for them to do on the weekends. If a kid was going to miss group, for example, for a medical or court appointment, you were instructed to find the kid before he left, pull him aside, and ask "are you ok?" He would say "yeah". Then you billed that as "supportive counseling". "Clinical" supervision consisted of the "clinical" supervisor reviewing whether you filled out all the Medicaid paperwork. You had to go out of your way to actually have the therapeutic approach to a case discussed. Totally messed up broken system. I would never work in it again.
Thank you. For being one million times correct. As someone who's been involved in the community corrections field, for nearly 7 years. Especially since the for-profit prison industry, and their relentless pursuit of profits? Has become catastrophically decaying and destructive, to the American criminal justice system. At levels that most people, seemingly choose to ignore.
I've known numerous people who worked as guards in CCA prisons and from what I can tell they encourage corruption down to the grunt level. Guards are given so much paperwork every time an incident happens that they will do anything to avoid the hassle of reporting something unless they absolutely have to.

We need a movie length episode discussing the relationship between voter suppression, racism, the criminalization of victimless crimes, use of felony status to deny voting rights and other civil rights, the perverse incentive structure of these policies and how they lead to more and more conservative politicians being elected, etc etc
Agree that the neoslavery episode was really good but at the end of the day it's just leftist masturbation. The right absolutely does not care about fraud, hypocrisy, corruption, etc. It changes zero minds to expose it. Centrists and moderates continue to not care and do nothing and conservatives continue to do a fascism every single day
That whole " kids for cash" scandal was in my town. I know people who went there. I went to highschool with the corrupt judges granddaughter. They're family was so wealthy and got away with everything... Until it came out what the judges were doing.
They still almost got away with it even after being caught and publicly exposed because that's how bad the corruption is. And as was mentioned the corporations got a slap on the wrist so essentially they just punished the people who got caught and let everything continue functioning as it was
@@kylezo even though they got caught they still fucked people's lives up. Some kids got thrown into that camp and just kept fucking up and if they never went there they may have not went down that path. Those people are fucking evil. I couldn't imagine selling children for my own profit. What kind of monster could live with themselves?
One interesting fact about the kids for cash scandal. Is that the rich backers of the judge knew they were caught. They took a plea deal and were released when covid became a real issue (and good behavior you know the drill). But the judge actually went to trial because he was convinced he was innocent and now has to sit for more then 25 years
I have a direct connection to that PA "kids for cash" case. Those two judges were very high profile but there was a whole network of these shitbags doing the same thing. I went to high school in Exeter, PA and I knew a kid who was interviewed for Michale Moore's documentary that never came out but it was for exactly this. He had a minor offense; it was something like fighting and was sent to a JV center for I think it was a year. His parents tried to appeal the case but when they failed some lawyers in the state started realizing how insane it was. Again this was a very long time ago so don't quote me but wow yeah that was a weird time to be in high school.
Sorry to hear that. That POS judge put my older sister in juvie back in the '90s. Some shithole I can't remember the name of. It pretty much ruined her life. Exeter though huh? Small world! Pittston and Duryea were my old haunts.

Then your unable to get a job when you're out and the only way to make money is crime... it's a cycle they do on purpose
I'm from Stroudsburg and I've only heard anecdotal accounts from people about this, but apparently it was a very real systemic issue that never really received the national attention it absolutely deserved.
Prison Justice is absolutely hands down one of the most important pursuits of our lifetime. Almost every single societal issue comes down to the way we conceptualize “criminalization” and how we have socially accepted a punitive, exploitative, and vilifying approach to solving issues
Our prison industrial complex is a breeding ground for fascists to test just how far they can push the limit is of what genocidal themes we’ll accept as a society
If you think about it, The Purge could never happen in real life because the private prison lobby would definitely do its best to keep it from becoming real.
Idk, in real life there’s no way that a purge would actually prevent crime on any other day of the year, since that’s not how humans work. So I think the prison system would do just fine if the purge were real, maybe they would even do better because of all the crime that would result from the societal setbacks of having a purge in the first place. So I disagree, I think the Purge would fit quite nicely into the dystopian hellscape we are moving toward. Lol
Worked for “Core Civic” when it was “CCA.” The company was a horror show. Training that wasn’t even high enough quality to be considered sub-par. Equipment held together by rust and rubber bands. We tried to unionize once. Teamsters reps came down. Admin found out and planted spies to see who came to the meeting. Gathered every shift in a meeting and threatened us just vaguely enough to keep it legal. Fed inmates shit food. Few years after I left I found out a bunch of admin types were busted for raping inmates and covering it up. Knowing that Core Civic is CCA’s attempt to Bar Rescue itself made Cody’s jokes even more hilarious. Also, CCA’s corporate headquarters was in Tennessee. So, if that tells you anything about why it may have been so F’d up.

Again, like I've been saying- John Oliver IS American. He's an American citizen and he covers American issues. Just because he has an accent, you can't call him British.

He just has an accent and that's the only thing that makes him British. They're both covering the same material. This is like if some white American became famous for Martial Arts and we called them "American Jackie Chan" but Jackie Chan is just as American as the other guy so that makes no sense.
this is one of the issues I harp on the most tbh. helping heal this country should start at the areas of most damage, especially the wound that's been festering since the beginning: slavery. A lot of people might not be aware because of the misinformation wrt informing citizens of these types of things, but we are still a slave nation. Slavery is still allowed in the actual constitution, given the person is a felon..........hence a system incentivized to criminalize the powerless in order to literally enslave them for life. There's many solutions we should try, but the first thing I would do is require prison laborers be paid the minimum wage. The industry would collapse in a matter of years when you take away this one loophole. Overnight they go from making money off of slavery to losing money
Businesses exploiting cheap prison slave labour is the core of the problem; prisons should be nationalised, and prisoners should be encouraged to find work, but they should also be paid the same wages that any other worker would. There should probably also be a 'prisoner tax' applied to their wages to help fund the upkeep of prisons, but that should be applied after the prisoners have already been paid fair wages by their employers

To date the US govt has provided no evidence linking Bin Laden to 911, no one has faced trial, no investigations into the farcical reports that say fire collapsed 3 intact skyscrapers, or the countless reports amd evidence of demolition charges.

On the day VHS recorders captured a laser target drifting across the face of the South Tower moments before and after the second plane hit.

But sure, "foreign terrorists" Anyway, who needs evidence before genociding millions of innocent people for their perceived beliefs anyway.

I spent almost a decade in prison and I started in a private prison. I can say that capitalism reeks in every problem within the prison system . I was on three different yards (aka prisons) and the main differences between public and private are as follows (the private was CCA). Privates have air conditioning , cable (usually), quality gym access , board games, and even Playstations. Movie channels and music stations are also on the TV. however what they lack in is: Any care of the inmate , health care , programs for rehabilitation , jobs that pay, space , often months of being locked inside and maybe outside rec time for an hour a week. All the good things mentioned are often taken away. Locked in cell all the time , some people associated with gangs are on constant lock down for up to a year. You can be STGd which is gang locked down for months because your celly is a gang member. contraband is rampant as staff brings it in for extra money. These facilities often take on the youngest and most rambunctious gang members and can't lock them all down so stabbings are common. Inmates rob other inmates and rapes happen as the staff turns a blind e eye. State prisons are used somewhat to house older inmates and problem inmates are often shipped to privates. State prisons do a better job of keeping gangs more spread out where privates just want all their beds to be filled.
However they all lack in any kind of real rehabilitation . State yards pu ish you for not having a job even when their aren't enough to go around. They can work you for 40+ hours a week for $10 a month using inmate labor to run the yard. Inmates do the laundry, handle all receiving packages , make the clothes, cook the food, do all the cleaning, even make the mattresses, etc. We are punished if we don't do this, all to save the state money so they can fill more beds with inmates , which trickles down to more people flowing in from county jails which means more convictions which means more arrests . it's a whole complex .
Thank you for bringing more attention to this issue. I went to school for criminal justice and even graduated a law enforcement academy but once I saw how the system actually worked in real life I couldn't be a part of it. I wanted to help protect my community, not exploit it.
The only metric that should measure success is recidivism. If people come back into the system that should be seen as a failure of the service to prepare them to rejoin society and support them in that effort. But alas...
For the life of me I can't put my finger, on why people wouldn't stick around late at a hearing held on 12/23/1987. It's not like there is a major holiday around that time of year or anything. That people may want to travel for, in order to spend time with loved ones. As we all know love is an artificial construct, used to sell chocolates, flowers, and such.
On a side note I can't help wonder if certain "other" countries having smaller prison populations. Are a result of under reporting their numbers, or genocide in those countries.
@@argontreper8524 I dunno man, the imprisonment rate in the US is what, 0.6 - 0.7%? That's sort of insane. For comparison the UK is below 0.1%. Even with 4 times the population of the US, China could have less total prisoners than the US while still imprisoning people at a significantly higher rate than the UK.
Trying to reform people in an environment(prison) entirely unlike the environment in which you "hope" to return them to is insane. Just as insane as making incarnation a for profit business model. I believe I have as perfect of a solution as possible for prison reform. After, and only after fixing the broken legal system. With laws that actually make reasonable sense of course. Example-Person come from a poor background, with little opportunity for change their situation either socially or economically. Person discovers the profitability of illegal drug trades. To provide for their self and potentially loved ones. They commit to becoming a small businessowner, in the supply and logistics aspect of supply and demand market capitalism. They make a lot of money over time, as demand is high for mind/mood altering substances. Substances used to cope with labor demands, mental illness, depression, anxiety, and a sense of hopeless in general felt by broke & poor people. Sadly the "over time" period varies greatly for these small businessowners, as their business is illegal to practice. Due to some people not being able to function properly. After long-term use on some products sold in this manner. Some people even die because of poor quality control on these products. As we all know, the Capitalist are most concerned with ensuring products are as safe as possible for consumers. Also the need to make contact with customer base, makes anonymity virtually impossible for all but high end suppliers. High end suppliers like the C.I.A. in some cases. So the take away from this very broad example would be. Lock up capitalist entrepreneurs, taking advantage of what few opportunities they have. People who, had they been born into wealth, would be "legitimate" business owners hoarding personal wealth. Safely providing for their self and loved one. End of Example. Step 1 If as a society, we deem it necessary to steal people's lives from them. By locking them away from where they come from. Preventing them from being able to provide in a meaningful way for any dependents they may have. We as a society owe it to those dependents. To provide full support in the hardship placed on them. By our need to reform their caregiver, so we don't perpetuate the poverty. Their caregiver was trying to pull them out of. Also by taking care of the families of people deemed in need of reform. We empower citizens in need of reform(CNR's for short) to focus on rehabilitation of behavior deemed incompatible for society. This first step is critical and if I need to explain why, the point will likely be lost on you. However feel free inquiry, as I love discussing just about everything. Even when it is often a waste of my time. Lucky for me though, I am what is considered impoverished. So time is my mainstample commodity. Step 2 We as a society have to decide how much we are willing to pay. For the purpose of reforming CNR. We could build modern isolated enclosed communities. For the purpose of providing a safe environment. Where personal health, mental and physical, can be examined and improved. Where educational learning and skill training are free. To allow betterment of ones self. Side note -CNR could largely be avoided by implementing these opportunities to society as a whole. Without the need for isolated and enclosed communities. Now if you feel that the cost of the full dependent support system is to expensive. Which when compared to the alternative, it isn't. Happy to elaborate if needed, only if asked. We can move to the next step in my next step in the my "as close to perfect, as possible" solution for incarceration. Step 3 Forcing people to work jobs in order to lessen cost is wrong. As is pimping people out as cheap labor. So the only expectation on CNR should be self improvement. So now I move on to people that society sees fit to cast as life long inmates(LLI 's for short). They still would go closed off isolated community. Just not a modern day styled community. An Amish style of living would serve these individuals well. Also the initial cost of these communities would be much cheaper. Predominantly self-sustaining after initial setup. There are details to hammer out on this style of community. Yet again, if asked. I would love to discuss in more depth, this ideal I have. Society as a whole would have to build a new justice system, to implement this model for Corrections of incarcerated individuals. Determine what crimes and the severity of those crimes would determine your prisoners status as a CNR or a LLI. If one would be able to move from LLI status to CNR. If a LLI had the right to choose the death penalty, rather than positioned to learn self reliance & encourage to be a cooperative with their peers. I'm interested in feedback on this ideal, to reform the American penal system.
@@karl0ssus1 I understand what you mean. However my point is more so that in America. We manufacture & collect our "criminals" in prisons. Like they were in fact a collectible. The U.S. does have the death penalty, but aren't killing inmates. As fast as they are manufactured. In other countries, if instead of mass genocide, if those people were incarcerated instead and accurately accounted for. How would the their number stack up against the U.S. number. That being said, if I was given life in prison. I'd ask for the death penalty.
@@argontreper8524 As someone from the rest of the world, it is not a result of under reported numbers. Our numbers are accurate for the most part, with the exception of extreme examples like North Korea. What causes the US to have way more people in prison than the rest of the world is a genuine systematic issue in your country. 1. Cops are poorly trained, but given a lot of (in my opinion too much) power. 2. Increased efforts to arrest people for small time crimes - e.g. war on drugs. 3. Private prisons. Just these 3 issues have massive ramifications on prison population that a lot of other countries don't have. And that is not even an in depth response. To be honest, and as hard as it may be to hear for someone from the states, even many third world countries are better in this regard than the US.
Before my state legalized recreational cannabis, i was sent to (non private) state prison for 5 years. i spent one month there, before being shipped off to a private halfway house, which was not a halfway house at all. We were in a locked facility, the only difference was instead of correctional officers, we were supervised by “counselors” making 10 bucks an hour (the state minimum wage at the time). It technically was supposed to be a short-term “evaluation center” to assess which halfway house each inmate was best suited to? *allegedly*. i was there until a court date for early release came, which thankfully i was granted.
I had to recharge my faith in humanity when it got to the part where kids are send to prison because of dysfunctional but still fairly normal adolescent behavior like shoplifting. And yes, I actually do believe society should correct those kids. A stern talking, a 101 course in ethics perhaps and if that doesn't work more severe measures like, I don't know, a couple of days/weeks of age-appropriate and preferably educational community service. You know, something that might actually correct the behavior instead of making things far, far worse by traumatizing those kids and derailing their lives.
I remember when I found out the US has a for-profit healthcare system as was just so utterly shocked and in disbelief how that was allowed. Then when I was much older I found out how they have a for-profit prison system and still to this day I’m quite honestly just baffled how that came about.
The frustrating thing is that when you try to explain it a conservative they just squawk, "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time!" They literally don't think any punishment is too severe and expect prisoners to be held indefinitely until they die, ideally. Of course, they imagine the average prisoner is a multiple murderer or likes to SA babies on a Tuesday night. They don't want to talk about the young adults who go in for small crimes, get harsh sentences, lose all hope of recovering from it, and learn how to be better criminals from the other inmates. Rinse; repeat.
You're right, Cody, this episode _is_ raking in the bucks! I've watched it five times already, subscribed twice, and joined your Patreon (or at least _a_ Patreon, I hope it was yours). Just think of the ad revenue rolling in!
I'm not sure if its technically a prison or a holding center, but the prison in downtown St Louis had a riot last year. I thought it was funny because they weren't even trying to escape. They were rioting because the jail wasn't heated, there were no blankets, and prisoners who had covid were just being left to die in their cells with no medical treatment. They later rioted again because they weren't being given court dates. Apperently many were sent to the "workhouse". A medium security prison famous for human rights abuses.
Your videos are delivered with the surrealism fitting of a Meow Wolf installation but with the kind of real information that only a world of flames and malevolence could produce. I have liked you and your cohort's work in all forms and locations and only hope to see more
I love you all. Thank you for these videos, even though they are heartbreaking at times. I've let the last three pile up, they can be hard to get through.
For your next video: In the last year that I have worked in healthcare in a SNF, you know, where your beloved family members go for months while recovering from a stroke, amputation, severe wounds, etc, every time I have frustratedly asked "why aren't we doing X to help them???!?," the answer is always either "because the facility will get dinged by medicare and lose money" or "because insurance won't pay for it." Medical facilities are more scared of getting dinged for an unnecessary ER visit for one of their residents than potentially saving his life (he died btw). My one guy isn't getting tested for sepsis "because lactic acid tests are expensive." I sure hope it's not sepsis. Yesterday, I got told that my one guys meds were switched from oxy to Norco because insurance wont pay for straight oxy. Because oxy plus tylenol makes more sense. I've sent now TWO people home THIS MONTH with severe unstageable necrotic pressure ulcers infected with pseudomonas because they refused some of their cares sometimes so insurance dropped them. This is just the last year, don't get me started on 2020 when the public health dept decided to throw away HUNDREDS of covid vaccine doses because the cost of managing extra clinics to get more people vaccinated was too troublesome than letting the extra doses go into the trash at the end of the night.
my father quit the Republican party because of Regan. He had always been a Republican until then. When I asked him about it he told me it was because of the John Birchers. My father is a very kind, loving man.
My dad carried sooo much water for George W. Bush, Trump made him a vote blue no matter who. This country is sick, when *real* conservatives now vote for Democrats.
@@AsherBunnyman Yep! The Democrats are, for the most part, a right-of-center political party, who would be considered relatively conservative in most any other nation that actually has organized left-wing parties. Yet we still have to hear far-right Republicans call them "commie" "socialist" "extremist" "leftist" "radical" blah blah blah blah blah... it's absolutely infuriating! I _wish_ Dems were 1/1,000th as radical as the GOP say they are.
Every time Dr. Mr. Cody mentioned Tom Beasley I couldn't help but picture in my little brain Tom Bosley and then I'd be like "how could Mr. Cunningham be so evil?" But the important part is that there was an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time.

Anyone who lives in the South knows that the average person here not only doesn't care about prison reform, but they generally regard prisoners as trash deserving the worst punishment possible. The biggest barrier to Justice Reform in the South is the utter lack of empathy from the average person. If you try talking to them about the financial corruption of private prison, their first response is almost always, "Oh, you think the government can do better?! Lol!" And if you try talking about the inhumane conditions, they'll say, "Oh well, they committed a crime! They deserve it!" And if you try proposing any kind of sane reforms, then "You just want to free the criminals! You care more about criminals than victims!" I've talked to dozens upon dozens of people about this and the objections are almost always the same. I don't think we're ever going to get people around here to care about this unless these people suddenly learn empathy. And judging by the overwhelming amount of racism, sexism, xenophobia and homophobia here, the chance that these folks' opinions flip in my lifetime is virtually zero.
If the guards are also complaining about the food, that's messed up. Usually, the guards feast like kings while the prisoners get the maggot ridden food.
Our country is primed for one-party fascism. It's already been fascist for ages, but this wild, horrible prison industrial complex is set up in a way that means no one will really do anything about it. Just like defence, it's painted as a national and public need. Our police is militarised, our private profit driven prisons, poverty rampant, a new terrifying opiate terrorising our streets (even in the meth now), and the politicians who write the laws, on both sides of the aisle, getting paid to keep this status quo. Long has the US held the guise of democracy while actually being an ethno-oligarchy based on Calvinist capitalism and old timey imperialism. When they make trans healthcare illegal for all adults and jail us for even getting trans healthcare before the ban (mark my words), I'm excited to find out what prison life will be like during Christo-fascist totalitarianist era of the former US now DeSanlin Imperium. I'm going to get some prison tats! I already have a guy. On the other aspect of core civic starting to branch out into integration and parole systems, I work at a place that has half-way house type housing and reintegration programs. It's a large nonprofit in Portland that also provides transitional and permanent housing of many types, substance use recovery programs, mental health programs, comprehensive heath clinics. Even for the serious sex offender, violent crime (including murder) buildings who still are serious creeps and need a tight leash, I find it unconscionable to make that system for profit. I find the entire private and prison complex horrid, but I have no doubt that it will just be dangerous as hell. If they want these people to either reoffend or violate their parole or probation, then they'll hire as few people with no experience with the population. They'll give them as much rope as possible to hang themselves, but at the serious possibility of violent offences that will be mostly perpetrated on poverty stricken neighbourhoods (where most of these are), and at risk people like the houseless and children and domestic abuse victims. Especially with how these companies will no doubt have no mental healthcare which for many who are released need from the CPTSD these companies inflict, and without this care, easily reoffend. This will not be the support these people need to not go back to prison. This is a disaster that will just grow... and prime us for the fantastic DeSantis-Palin One party system within the great DeSanlin Imperium that will make daydreams and puppies and kittens illegal with years long prison sentiences for saying "hello kitty" to the sweet meowing kitten of your daydreams while you're stamping imperium custom license plates during your 20 year sentence for religious sedition and lacking sufficient knowledge of the king James bible- yeah, the one made by the guy that wrote that unhinged book on witchcraft. I know a guy that can do pretty sweet bic tats. I'll be trans girl with "tran 4eva" on my knuckles constantly whittling Faberge eggs out of soap. I'll hook you up.

I was in a CCA joint in the late 2000's and there was usually one or two CO's to 100+ convicts per pod. The food was definitely not 2000 calories per day, they regularly locked down the entire facility for days or weeks at a time. They offered no classes, no counseling, training etc for rehabilitation.
Gah. That's pretty much just creating ideal conditions for every single worst outcome possible. I hope you found a way through m8 and have gotten off the roundabout but if you haven't, well they definitely did their best to prevent you finding the exit.

Quit my job a few months ago for many reasons, but a big one was because we sold products to private prisons for ultra low prices so they could sell them to prisoners for a shitload of profits. Now I work for a weed company. Good trade tbh.

Really glad you mention juvenile detention, especially in Pennsylvania. I work with the Youth Arts Self Empowerment Project (YASP) in Philadelphia. We are part of a state wide campaign to end youth incarceration #Carenotcontrol. Hope y’all would consider supporting and letting people know that we need to stop putting kids in cages
I got in a wreck, fell asleep and hit a phone poll head on. Passed a field sobriety test and was taken to jail instead of the hospital. Spent $750 to get out with no court date or charges. When i finally got to the hospital found out i had 2 severe concussions. This was in good ole Tx.
1:31 I nearly did a spit take when I saw that our absolute number was a quarter above China's despite, China having 4 times the population and, well, being effectively an autocracy. I'm sure some of that gap is explained by the Chinese government being dishonest, but not the entire gap.
idk China is proud of how many people are in prison. It's like a badge of honor to punish people who don't do what the government says, and that threat works well when the government needs the people to do something like stay locked in their apartments for 2 months of quarantine.
What's really fun is when the same company makes a city's food for both their correctional facilities and their inpatient mental health facilities. Always fun when you're already prepared for jail food because you had it last week after a suicide attempt, not that I would know anything about that of course.
you should do an episode on the 'troubled teen industry' it's an adjacent problem but it's not technically part of the criminal justice system, parents can choose to send kids there for any reason and these places frequently lie about what it's like there and explicitly tell parents "not to listen" to their teens complaining about the conditions because they're "lying"
First: love the videos. Second: real question for the team. What do you think about Cracked trying to come back? Keep up the work, I never miss an episode.
Too bad we cant explore these wonders with guest appearances from professor Scott Bug.

Thank you for newsing inside me again this week cody. My brain is swimming in news and evil prison food slop. Anyway I believe we should only rely on sheriff run prisons! Those are way better! Anyone reading this should definitely not watch the episode on sheriffs and realize that they ruin the public prison system. (Because they totally don't pocket the money from starving prisoners)
you would think the idea of a for profit prison would be oxymoronic... it's like having a for profit organ harvesting service... after a certain point where demand for bodies is not being met, there will always be people willing to blur the lines to make the quota and get some nice kick-backs at the same time.
I spent 11 nights in a Louisiana “detention center” recently thanks to a sheriffs deputy who didn’t uphold his oath. I’m fighting all charges. Wish me luck!!!

Prison Logic: So my dog bit my neighbor. I then locked it in a small cage and did nothing but abuse it and feed it just enough garbage not to die it for 10 years. Decided to let it out and for some reason it didn't turn into a good boy. Nothing can be done, give me more money.

For-profit prisons seems like such an obviously terrible idea that it is hard to believe that they are still allowed to exist
lobbying. they still exist because of lobbying.
Not in the US. Nothing is hard to believe there
PS- for a lot of countries for-profit healthcare sound like such a terrible idea that it is hard to believe it exists
for-profit economic systems seem like such an obviously terrible idea that it is hard to believe that capitalism is still allowed to exist 🤪
As a foreigner it is absurd that they were ever allowed in the first place. If you wouldn't outsource your police force then why do that with prisons? Wouldn't a country that once fought the Brits have some realisation that not everyone who ends up in prison deserves to be there? Or that it is insane to outsource government functions like the Fire department, Police or Prisons?
Outside of a bunch of Free Market nuts passing this legislation in secret I really cannot fathom how it could have happened. Core government functions will always be a not-for-profit activity performed by the government.
The "amendment that ended slavery" should not have exceptions. Still bothers me that it was taught that way when I was in school.
I was taught that we should be grateful for it because it was a very, very tough choice that made poor old Lincoln feel bad and that it's simply asking for too much to demand for more. Cuz bargaining with slaveowners is just what a Freedom Liberty Justice Democracy does, apparently.
@@guy-sl3kr what was that comic where you have civil rights protestors on one side and the KKK on the other with a "centrist" in the middle asking "can't we compromise?"

Two things that should never be for profit: incarceration and healthcare. Who would be so immoral to do both?

As I always say in every prison video: We need to divorce ourselves from the idea that "justice=punishment." People do need to be punished for crimes, and punishment is a part of rehabilitation, but that's where punishment should end. We shouldn't be punishing people because it makes us feel better, the goal of the justice system should be the betterment of society, not giving you an endorphin rush because Johnny got 175 years for bank robbery and that makes you feel good.
The fact is the overwhelming majority of prisoners in the US will get released one day. Even most murderers don't die in prison. What kind of person do you want them to be when that day comes and moves in down the street from you?
A lot of people from America trash Norway's prisons and say "well if the punishment is getting to go live in a hotel, why wouldn't everyone just commit all the crimes?!" as if it's some kind of joke. Norway's prisons do treat their inmates like humans, and they do give them productive jobs, and they do let them socialize in a healthy way, and guess what? Norway has one of the lowest recidivism rates in the world, at only 20%. If being HARD ON CRIME and PUNISHMENT worked, you would expect that number to be a lot higher. In the United States, where we have REAL PRISONs and REAL PUNISHMENT, roughly 66% of prisoners end up back in prison within 3 years of release. How is that good for society? We are failing. But no one cares because they just want to know that criminals are getting punished and that makes them feel good.
say that to any child who had been molested or someone whos family was killed fuck prisoners they need to be punished they broke the law, why should they be given a slap on the wrist.

I was new to the state, no busses, so I couldn't get a ride which got me in trouble and they threatened to send my mom to prison.

Also underfunded, no classes which messed me up as an AP student and constant physical/sexual abuse including roofing which could never be investigated because we had no evidence and weren't allowed to turn in any evidence.

Dr Nehum Goldmann, 1957, founder of the World Jewish Congress and President of the World Zionist Organization
_"I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or my grandchildren's time when the US is a service and information economy, when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries, when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues. When the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgably question those in authority, when clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide almost without noticing back into superstition and darkness."_
_"The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content and the enormously influential media. The thirty second soundbite, now down to ten seconds or less, lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudo science and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance."_
Carl Sagan 1995
Representative Democracy hasn't worked in over 50 years because politicians will always come from the monied classes and be beholden to their Corporate Donors, only way we avoid this apocalypse is to stage a Velvet Revolution to install a Scaled Direct Democracy. Citizen Initiated Referendums with thresholds and a Social Contract using Blockchain technology means communities can vote their own policies without parties or politicians. Banning Beef, Oil, and Fishing Subsidies would stall climate change and habitat degradation overnight. Thorium Energy renders their global oil monopoly obsolete. Police can be actively policed by an independent public authority with the power to prosecute bad actors in our own courts.
Or we can bend over and accept our Orwellian future
What's more a lot invest in and directly profit from it any they may not even realize it. Palantir for just one example is a very popular tech stock who make a lot of their income from "prison management support" software used by the private prison industry.
Willfully being seems a little harsh, but ignorantly blissfully unaware if not complicit is a bit wordy....
I have firsthand experience with the "justice" / prison systems' corruption. Hell, I wrote a damn book [Rebel Hell] about going to prison and how broken and racist it all is.
What's more, the people impacted have no recourse for their sentence rendered- beyond maybe leaving a one star review- because felony offenders cannot vote. Can we imagine why having the highest prison populations in the world might be impacting our policies?
People's insistence on punishment based incarceration is a curse to society, it enables further crimes both in and out of prison, the countries with the lowest recidivism rates tend to have rehabilitation focused incarceration, the more you treat them like people the lower the reoffence rate becomes
Why are "people" allowed into the discussion? A panel on prison reforms comprised of persons having a background in law and social work should be making such decisions, shouldn't they? You wouldn't expect public opinion to overrule an Engineer's opinion when it comes to constructing a dam or a bridge. I had a paper on Criminology and Penology last semester and as fucked as my country is boy am I glad we don't leave these decisions to the people.
But that would be very bad for business and that is the main thing. Merica! &Pals..
@@grid462 Business is one thing but have you talked to the average Joe? Rehabilitation doesn't even come close to a concern, it's "justice", meaning getting even or made an example of no matter the cost. As long as that base instinct is allowed to be placated by policy there is no hope for reform. This is why it should be left to experts in law, ethics, and social sciences to determine how the system operates.
As a member of the DOC, I agree 1000000000000000000000000% (state prison, wouldnt catch me dead working in a for profit prison) Luckily I'm not alone. Prison reform feels attainable.

When one of my oldest friends was in prion for a year in Florida, my other friend and I tried to visit him several times. Without failure, every time we attempted to see him they said we couldn't because they were "moving him to another room." We were teenagers at the time, so we didn't think to contest it, but that's what they did to keep us from seeing and talking with him.
I have an ex-partner that worked for CCA before the name change, in a very red state.
He’s one of the most calm, non-expressive people I’ve ever met; he’s told me stories and cried.
The first time he did was several years to us dating and him crying genuinely shook me.
I remember realizing a lot of stuff I always knew about the justice system but couldn’t prove was sitting before me.
I mean, I thought this would happen *if* (I didn't know in the USA you literally have them, I'm greek) prisons are corporations, but I gaslit myself that I was making up conspiracy theories and that worst case scenario they just give shitty food. Yeah, this video was worse than my worst imaginations that I was REALLY trying to convince myself that I'm making up conspiracies.
Yes - absolutely no free society should EVER have a for-profit prison. Even on its face, it's obvious it's anathema to a free society
The more I learn the truth the more I realize the United States is not a free society
good thing we're living in the land of the free 😇 /sarc
It costs a lot of money to be free, though. You're fucked if you're poor.
New Mexico had a couple of for profit prisons, and then decided that's a terrible idea and the state took them over. Our state pushes hard on for profit prisons to not be terrible.
Only 2% are for profit. It should be none but this notion is over told

interesting.
Back in the early 2000s, I worked as a therapist at a for profit juvenile detention facility in Florida. A private company provided all of the behavioral health services. All youth were on Medicaid unless they were undocumented. We had to make sure that every kid got a behavioral health service every single day so we could bill Medicaid. This meant kids had to attend group 7 days a week. That meant therapists had to come up with group work for them to do on the weekends. If a kid was going to miss group, for example, for a medical or court appointment, you were instructed to find the kid before he left, pull him aside, and ask "are you ok?" He would say "yeah". Then you billed that as "supportive counseling". "Clinical" supervision consisted of the "clinical" supervisor reviewing whether you filled out all the Medicaid paperwork. You had to go out of your way to actually have the therapeutic approach to a case discussed. Totally messed up broken system. I would never work in it again.

I've known numerous people who worked as guards in CCA prisons and from what I can tell they encourage corruption down to the grunt level. Guards are given so much paperwork every time an incident happens that they will do anything to avoid the hassle of reporting something unless they absolutely have to.

Once again, a Topic covered already by 'Second Thought.
We need a movie length episode discussing the relationship between voter suppression, racism, the criminalization of victimless crimes, use of felony status to deny voting rights and other civil rights, the perverse incentive structure of these policies and how they lead to more and more conservative politicians being elected, etc etc
Knowing better had a good video on just that.. neo-slavery
Agree that the neoslavery episode was really good but at the end of the day it's just leftist masturbation. The right absolutely does not care about fraud, hypocrisy, corruption, etc. It changes zero minds to expose it. Centrists and moderates continue to not care and do nothing and conservatives continue to do a fascism every single day
That whole " kids for cash" scandal was in my town. I know people who went there. I went to highschool with the corrupt judges granddaughter. They're family was so wealthy and got away with everything... Until it came out what the judges were doing.
They still almost got away with it even after being caught and publicly exposed because that's how bad the corruption is. And as was mentioned the corporations got a slap on the wrist so essentially they just punished the people who got caught and let everything continue functioning as it was
@@kylezo even though they got caught they still fucked people's lives up. Some kids got thrown into that camp and just kept fucking up and if they never went there they may have not went down that path. Those people are fucking evil.

One interesting fact about the kids for cash scandal. Is that the rich backers of the judge knew they were caught. They took a plea deal and were released when covid became a real issue (and good behavior you know the drill). But the judge actually went to trial because he was convinced he was innocent and now has to sit for more then 25 years
@@MrJimheeren with a lot of very happy prison mates
I have a direct connection to that PA "kids for cash" case. Those two judges were very high profile but there was a whole network of these shitbags doing the same thing. I went to high school in Exeter, PA and I knew a kid who was interviewed for Michale Moore's documentary that never came out but it was for exactly this. He had a minor offense; it was something like fighting and was sent to a JV center for I think it was a year. His parents tried to appeal the case but when they failed some lawyers in the state started realizing how insane it was. Again this was a very long time ago so don't quote me but wow yeah that was a weird time to be in high school.
Sorry to hear that.

I'm from Stroudsburg and I've only heard anecdotal accounts from people about this, but apparently it was a very real systemic issue that never really received the national attention it absolutely deserved.
And fascists wonder why no-one likes them and why some actively want to excise them from society by any means necessary.
They are a plague on us all.
To anyone who says "they're just criminals":
If these companies can't be trusted with the worst of us, they can't be trusted with the best of us.
One more issue that not enough people talk about is the stigma of prisoners and felons which helps feed into people's apathy for these issues
Prison Justice is absolutely hands down one of the most important pursuits of our lifetime. Almost every single societal issue comes down to the way we conceptualize “criminalization” and how we have socially accepted a punitive, exploitative, and vilifying approach to solving issues
Our prison industrial complex is a breeding ground for fascists to test just how far they can push the limit is of what genocidal themes we’ll accept as a society
If you think about it, The Purge could never happen in real life because the private prison lobby would definitely do its best to keep it from becoming real.
Idk, in real life there’s no way that a purge would actually prevent crime on any other day of the year, since that’s not how humans work. So I think the prison system would do just fine if the purge were real, maybe they would even do better because of all the crime that would result from the societal setbacks of having a purge in the first place.
So I disagree, I think the Purge would fit quite nicely into the dystopian hellscape we are moving toward. Lol
Some things should never be a business.

This is like if some white American became famous for Martial Arts and we called them "American Jackie Chan" but Jackie Chan is just as American as the other guy so that makes no sense.
this is one of the issues I harp on the most tbh. helping heal this country should start at the areas of most damage, especially the wound that's been festering since the beginning: slavery. A lot of people might not be aware because of the misinformation wrt informing citizens of these types of things, but we are still a slave nation. Slavery is still allowed in the actual constitution, given the person is a felon..........hence a system incentivized to criminalize the powerless in order to literally enslave them for life. There's many solutions we should try, but the first thing I would do is require prison laborers be paid the minimum wage. The industry would collapse in a matter of years when you take away this one loophole. Overnight they go from making money off of slavery to losing money
Businesses exploiting cheap prison slave labour is the core of the problem; prisons should be nationalised, and prisoners should be encouraged to find work, but they should also be paid the same wages that any other worker would. There should probably also be a 'prisoner tax' applied to their wages to help fund the upkeep of prisons, but that should be applied after the prisoners have already been paid fair wages by their employers

Just coincidence the Bin Laden family was doing brunch at the Bush family Mansion that morning, and were on one of only 2 flights allowed during the no fly period. Not to mention Guiliani's Civil Emergency Center which he had built for $100 million dollars, and designed to withstand a direct nuclear blast, and complete with it's own *Air Traffic Control* Center.
Then there's Pentagon Comptroller Rabbi Dov Zakheim who lost the $4 Trillion dollars, and whose company CPS rolled out remote hijack tech in the AA Fleet in June 2001. It was also Dov Zakheim that Edward Snowden worked for at Booz Allen Hamilton. Kushner's father Charles was on the Port Authority Board that gave Lucky Larry his $100,000 purchase on the twin towers, which had an asbestos removal bill estimated at around $1.2 billion dollars. He sure did well didn't he, maybe he got the Odigo warning hours before like Lucky Larry.
To date the US govt has provided no evidence linking Bin Laden to 911, no one has faced trial, no investigations into the farcical reports that say fire collapsed 3 intact skyscrapers, or the countless reports amd evidence of demolition charges. And you'll never guess who was in charge of the renovations done to the elevator shafts in the months leading up to that day, where workers complained about copious amounts of dust coming from air vents into offices. Or the Israeli "Arts groups" _Gelatin_ and _B Thing_ who infiltrated countless FBI and Security installations across the country, and later photographed with hundreds of boxes of electrical fuses inside the Towers, and who removed a window to erect a platform, which a helicopter then flew towards on the exact same trajectories as the first and second planes.
On the day VHS recorders captured a laser target drifting across the face of the South Tower moments before and after the second plane hit. A white Command and Control plane was also captured flying high above moments before and after the impacts.
Oh, and the man in charge of security at the WTC? Marvin Bush.
Bush was using 911 to blackmail Iraq as early as 2000, as per CIA whistle-blower Susan Landauer, whose videos are on YT, and who almost got ten years under the Patriot act when she revealed this information. There has also never been any empirical evidence provided for the invasions of Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Egypt, or Ethiopia, all countries bordering either Iran or Palestine. All these countries had also turned down major oil pipeline projects, and the Bin Laden family Construction firm handles the Pipelines being built through isis occupied Syria, whose Stolen Hieghts Trump ceded to israel on israel's 70th anniversary, and also where israel treated Isis soldiers from the Syrian Conflict. Bill Mayer even went over and shook their hands.
The Stolen Heights, are also home to Genie Oil, a reference to Solomon's Temple on the board sits Bill Richardson, Texas Senator, and Epstein associate, who gave Elon Musk Billions in Tax subsidies. Also Dick Cheney, Sec Def under Bush, Larry Summers, US Treasurer under Clinton, Rupert Murdoch, owner of Fox etc, Jakob RothschiId, Micheal Steinhardt, and James Woolsey, ex Director of the CIA.
_“For decades, Michael Steinhardt displayed a rapacious appetite for plundered artifacts without concern for the legality of his actions, the legitimacy of the pieces he bought and sold, or the grievous cultural damage he wrought across the globe,” said District Attorney Vance. “His pursuit of ‘new’ additions to showcase and sell knew no geographic or moral boundaries, as reflected in the sprawling underworld of antiquities traffickers, *crime bosses, money launderers* and tomb raiders he relied upon to expand his collection." _
Not to mention the mossad hijack expert accidentally named as a hijacker, based on the seat number given by a hostess during one of the impossible phone calls, probably intentionally.

I spent almost a decade in prison and I started in a private prison. I can say that capitalism reeks in every problem within the prison system .
I was on three different yards (aka prisons) and the main differences between public and private are as follows (the private was CCA).
Privates have air conditioning , cable (usually), quality gym access , board games, and even Playstations. Movie channels and music stations are also on the TV.
however what they lack in is: Any care of the inmate , health care , programs for rehabilitation , jobs that pay, space , often months of being locked inside and maybe outside rec time for an hour a week. All the good things mentioned are often taken away. Locked in cell all the time , some people associated with gangs are on constant lock down for up to a year. You can be STGd which is gang locked down for months because your celly is a gang member. contraband is rampant as staff brings it in for extra money. These facilities often take on the youngest and most rambunctious gang members and can't lock them all down so stabbings are common. Inmates rob other inmates and rapes happen as the staff turns a blind e eye.
State prisons are used somewhat to house older inmates and problem inmates are often shipped to privates. State prisons do a better job of keeping gangs more spread out where privates just want all their beds to be filled.
However they all lack in any kind of real rehabilitation . State yards pu ish you for not having a job even when their aren't enough to go around. They can work you for 40+ hours a week for $10 a month using inmate labor to run the yard. Inmates do the laundry, handle all receiving packages , make the clothes, cook the food, do all the cleaning, even make the mattresses, etc.
We are punished if we don't do this, all to save the state money so they can fill more beds with inmates , which trickles down to more people flowing in from county jails which means more convictions which means more arrests . it's a whole complex .
Thank you for bringing more attention to this issue. I went to school for criminal justice and even graduated a law enforcement academy but once I saw how the system actually worked in real life I couldn't be a part of it. I wanted to help protect my community, not exploit it.
At this point, "land of the free" can only be said sarcastically, or immediately followed by "tee hee tee hee".
I like " *terms and conditions apply" or use finger quotes.
The only metric that should measure success is recidivism. If people come back into the system that should be seen as a failure of the service to prepare them to rejoin society and support them in that effort. But alas...
For the life of me I can't put my finger, on why people wouldn't stick around late at a hearing held on 12/23/1987. It's not like there is a major holiday around that time of year or anything. That people may want to travel for, in order to spend time with loved ones. As we all know love is an artificial construct, used to sell chocolates, flowers, and such.
On a side note I can't help wonder if certain "other" countries having smaller prison populations. Are a result of under reporting their numbers, or genocide in those countries.
@@argontreper8524 I dunno man, the imprisonment rate in the US is what, 0.6 - 0.7%? That's sort of insane. For comparison the UK is below 0.1%. Even with 4 times the population of the US, China could have less total prisoners than the US while still imprisoning people at a significantly higher rate than the UK.
Trying to reform people in an environment(prison) entirely unlike the environment in which you "hope" to return them to is insane. Just as insane as making incarnation a for profit business model. I believe I have as perfect of a solution as possible for prison reform. After, and only after fixing the broken legal system. With laws that actually make reasonable sense of course. Example-Person come from a poor background, with little opportunity for change their situation either socially or economically. Person discovers the profitability of illegal drug trades. To provide for their self and potentially loved ones. They commit to becoming a small businessowner, in the supply and logistics aspect of supply and demand market capitalism. They make a lot of money over time, as demand is high for mind/mood altering substances. Substances used to cope with labor demands, mental illness, depression, anxiety, and a sense of hopeless in general felt by broke & poor people. Sadly the "over time" period varies greatly for these small businessowners, as their business is illegal to practice. Due to some people not being able to function properly. After long-term use on some products sold in this manner. Some people even die because of poor quality control on these products. As we all know, the Capitalist are most concerned with ensuring products are as safe as possible for consumers. Also the need to make contact with customer base, makes anonymity virtually impossible for all but high end suppliers. High end suppliers like the C.I.A. in some cases. So the take away from this very broad example would be. Lock up capitalist entrepreneurs, taking advantage of what few opportunities they have. People who, had they been born into wealth, would be "legitimate" business owners hoarding personal wealth. Safely providing for their self and loved one.
End of Example.
Step 1
If as a society, we deem it necessary to steal people's lives from them. By locking them away from where they come from. Preventing them from being able to provide in a meaningful way for any dependents they may have. We as a society owe it to those dependents. To provide full support in the hardship placed on them. By our need to reform their caregiver, so we don't perpetuate the poverty. Their caregiver was trying to pull them out of. Also by taking care of the families of people deemed in need of reform. We empower citizens in need of reform(CNR's for short) to focus on rehabilitation of behavior deemed incompatible for society. This first step is critical and if I need to explain why, the point will likely be lost on you. However feel free inquiry, as I love discussing just about everything. Even when it is often a waste of my time. Lucky for me though, I am what is considered impoverished. So time is my mainstample commodity.
Step 2
We as a society have to decide how much we are willing to pay. For the purpose of reforming CNR. We could build modern isolated enclosed communities. For the purpose of providing a safe environment. Where personal health, mental and physical, can be examined and improved. Where educational learning and skill training are free. To allow betterment of ones self.
Side note -CNR could largely be avoided by implementing these opportunities to society as a whole. Without the need for isolated and enclosed communities.
Now if you feel that the cost of the full dependent support system is to expensive. Which when compared to the alternative, it isn't. Happy to elaborate if needed, only if asked. We can move to the next step in my next step in the my "as close to perfect, as possible" solution for incarceration.
Step 3
Forcing people to work jobs in order to lessen cost is wrong. As is pimping people out as cheap labor. So the only expectation on CNR should be self improvement.
So now I move on to people that society sees fit to cast as life long inmates(LLI 's for short). They still would go closed off isolated community. Just not a modern day styled community. An Amish style of living would serve these individuals well. Also the initial cost of these communities would be much cheaper. Predominantly self-sustaining after initial setup. There are details to hammer out on this style of community. Yet again, if asked. I would love to discuss in more depth, this ideal I have.
Society as a whole would have to build a new justice system, to implement this model for Corrections of incarcerated individuals. Determine what crimes and the severity of those crimes would determine your prisoners status as a CNR or a LLI. If one would be able to move from LLI status to CNR. If a LLI had the right to choose the death penalty, rather than positioned to learn self reliance & encourage to be a cooperative with their peers.
I'm interested in feedback on this ideal, to reform the American penal system.
@@karl0ssus1 I understand what you mean. However my point is more so that in America. We manufacture & collect our "criminals" in prisons. Like they were in fact a collectible. The U.S. does have the death penalty, but aren't killing inmates. As fast as they are manufactured. In other countries, if instead of mass genocide, if those people were incarcerated instead and accurately accounted for. How would the their number stack up against the U.S. number. That being said, if I was given life in prison. I'd ask for the death penalty.
@@argontreper8524 As someone from the rest of the world, it is not a result of under reported numbers. Our numbers are accurate for the most part, with the exception of extreme examples like North Korea.
What causes the US to have way more people in prison than the rest of the world is a genuine systematic issue in your country. 1. Cops are poorly trained, but given a lot of (in my opinion too much) power. 2. Increased efforts to arrest people for small time crimes - e.g. war on drugs. 3. Private prisons. Just these 3 issues have massive ramifications on prison population that a lot of other countries don't have. And that is not even an in depth response. To be honest, and as hard as it may be to hear for someone from the states, even many third world countries are better in this regard than the US.
Prison for profit should be considered a crime against humanity
So much time and effort goes into your videos. Much respect
Before my state legalized recreational cannabis, i was sent to (non private) state prison for 5 years. i spent one month there, before being shipped off to a private halfway house, which was not a halfway house at all. We were in a locked facility, the only difference was instead of correctional officers, we were supervised by “counselors” making 10 bucks an hour (the state minimum wage at the time). It technically was supposed to be a short-term “evaluation center” to assess which halfway house each inmate was best suited to? *allegedly*. i was there until a court date for early release came, which thankfully i was granted.
Glad to see your episodes are back to their usual length after only putting out a RUclips Short last week smh 🤦♂️
I watched the whole 30 seconds off it!! I hope he never utters that name again.
I had to recharge my faith in humanity when it got to the part where kids are send to prison because of dysfunctional but still fairly normal adolescent behavior like shoplifting. And yes, I actually do believe society should correct those kids. A stern talking, a 101 course in ethics perhaps and if that doesn't work more severe measures like, I don't know, a couple of days/weeks of age-appropriate and preferably educational community service. You know, something that might actually correct the behavior instead of making things far, far worse by traumatizing those kids and derailing their lives.
I remember when I found out the US has a for-profit healthcare system as was just so utterly shocked and in disbelief how that was allowed. Then when I was much older I found out how they have a for-profit prison system and still to this day I’m quite honestly just baffled how that came about.

The frustrating thing is that when you try to explain it a conservative they just squawk, "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time!" They literally don't think any punishment is too severe and expect prisoners to be held indefinitely until they die, ideally. Of course, they imagine the average prisoner is a multiple murderer or likes to SA babies on a Tuesday night. They don't want to talk about the young adults who go in for small crimes, get harsh sentences, lose all hope of recovering from it, and learn how to be better criminals from the other inmates. Rinse; repeat.
Did not know that CoreCivic was real at the beginning. Well done.
Yeah, that will probably change soon. They like to change up the name to keep the public confused.

Having lived in a private prison in Missouri, I can assure you that, they are the fucking worst.
I hope things are going better for you and that you never have to experience that again.
I'm not sure if its technically a prison or a holding center, but the prison in downtown St Louis had a riot last year. I thought it was funny because they weren't even trying to escape. They were rioting because the jail wasn't heated, there were no blankets, and prisoners who had covid were just being left to die in their cells with no medical treatment. They later rioted again because they weren't being given court dates. Apperently many were sent to the "workhouse". A medium security prison famous for human rights abuses.

For your next video:
In the last year that I have worked in healthcare in a SNF, you know, where your beloved family members go for months while recovering from a stroke, amputation, severe wounds, etc, every time I have frustratedly asked "why aren't we doing X to help them???!?," the answer is always either "because the facility will get dinged by medicare and lose money" or "because insurance won't pay for it." Medical facilities are more scared of getting dinged for an unnecessary ER visit for one of their residents than potentially saving his life (he died btw). My one guy isn't getting tested for sepsis "because lactic acid tests are expensive." I sure hope it's not sepsis. Yesterday, I got told that my one guys meds were switched from oxy to Norco because insurance wont pay for straight oxy. Because oxy plus tylenol makes more sense. I've sent now TWO people home THIS MONTH with severe unstageable necrotic pressure ulcers infected with pseudomonas because they refused some of their cares sometimes so insurance dropped them. This is just the last year, don't get me started on 2020 when the public health dept decided to throw away HUNDREDS of covid vaccine doses because the cost of managing extra clinics to get more people vaccinated was too troublesome than letting the extra doses go into the trash at the end of the night.

The Democrats are, for the most part, a right-of-center political party, who would be considered relatively conservative in most any other nation that actually has organized left-wing parties.

I can't stand a single second of that man so I had to pass on that one but I'll take your word.
Anyone who lives in the South knows that the average person here not only doesn't care about prison reform, but they generally regard prisoners as trash deserving the worst punishment possible. The biggest barrier to Justice Reform in the South is the utter lack of empathy from the average person. If you try talking to them about the financial corruption of private prison, their first response is almost always, "Oh, you think the government can do better?! Lol!" And if you try talking about the inhumane conditions, they'll say, "Oh well, they committed a crime! They deserve it!" And if you try proposing any kind of sane reforms, then "You just want to free the criminals! You care more about criminals than victims!" I've talked to dozens upon dozens of people about this and the objections are almost always the same. I don't think we're ever going to get people around here to care about this unless these people suddenly learn empathy. And judging by the overwhelming amount of racism, sexism, xenophobia and homophobia here, the chance that these folks' opinions flip in my lifetime is virtually zero.
If the guards are also complaining about the food, that's messed up. Usually, the guards feast like kings while the prisoners get the maggot ridden food.
Our country is primed for one-party fascism. It's already been fascist for ages, but this wild, horrible prison industrial complex is set up in a way that means no one will really do anything about it. Just like defence, it's painted as a national and public need. Our police is militarised, our private profit driven prisons, poverty rampant, a new terrifying opiate terrorising our streets (even in the meth now), and the politicians who write the laws, on both sides of the aisle, getting paid to keep this status quo. Long has the US held the guise of democracy while actually being an ethno-oligarchy based on Calvinist capitalism and old timey imperialism. When they make trans healthcare illegal for all adults and jail us for even getting trans healthcare before the ban (mark my words), I'm excited to find out what prison life will be like during Christo-fascist totalitarianist era of the former US now DeSanlin Imperium. I'm going to get some prison tats! I already have a guy.
On the other aspect of core civic starting to branch out into integration and parole systems, I work at a place that has half-way house type housing and reintegration programs. It's a large nonprofit in Portland that also provides transitional and permanent housing of many types, substance use recovery programs, mental health programs, comprehensive heath clinics. Even for the serious sex offender, violent crime (including murder) buildings who still are serious creeps and need a tight leash, I find it unconscionable to make that system for profit. I find the entire private and prison complex horrid, but I have no doubt that it will just be dangerous as hell. If they want these people to either reoffend or violate their parole or probation, then they'll hire as few people with no experience with the population. They'll give them as much rope as possible to hang themselves, but at the serious possibility of violent offences that will be mostly perpetrated on poverty stricken neighbourhoods (where most of these are), and at risk people like the houseless and children and domestic abuse victims. Especially with how these companies will no doubt have no mental healthcare which for many who are released need from the CPTSD these companies inflict, and without this care, easily reoffend. This will not be the support these people need to not go back to prison. This is a disaster that will just grow...
and prime us for the fantastic DeSantis-Palin One party system within the great DeSanlin Imperium that will make daydreams and puppies and kittens illegal with years long prison sentiences for saying "hello kitty" to the sweet meowing kitten of your daydreams while you're stamping imperium custom license plates during your 20 year sentence for religious sedition and lacking sufficient knowledge of the king James bible- yeah, the one made by the guy that wrote that unhinged book on witchcraft. I know a guy that can do pretty sweet bic tats. I'll be trans girl with "tran 4eva" on my knuckles constantly whittling Faberge eggs out of soap. I'll hook you up.

I was in a CCA joint in the late 2000's and there was usually one or two CO's to 100+ convicts per pod. The food was definitely not 2000 calories per day, they regularly locked down the entire facility for days or weeks at a time. They offered no classes, no counseling, training etc for rehabilitation.
As a CO, that makes me sick. I hope you are doing well!
@@hollenfeuer1 An actual 3rd Reich fanboy CO. Big surprise. If you didn't exist the world would improve.

Quit my job a few months ago for many reasons, but a big one was because we sold products to private prisons for ultra low prices so they could sell them to prisoners for a shitload of profits. Now I work for a weed company. Good trade tbh.

Really glad you mention juvenile detention, especially in Pennsylvania. I work with the Youth Arts Self Empowerment Project (YASP) in Philadelphia. We are part of a state wide campaign to end youth incarceration #Carenotcontrol. Hope y’all would consider supporting and letting people know that we need to stop putting kids in cages
I got in a wreck, fell asleep and hit a phone poll head on. Passed a field sobriety test and was taken to jail instead of the hospital. Spent $750 to get out with no court date or charges. When i finally got to the hospital found out i had 2 severe concussions. This was in good ole Tx.
1:31 I nearly did a spit take when I saw that our absolute number was a quarter above China's despite, China having 4 times the population and, well, being effectively an autocracy. I'm sure some of that gap is explained by the Chinese government being dishonest, but not the entire gap.
AMERICA FIRST!!
idk China is proud of how many people are in prison. It's like a badge of honor to punish people who don't do what the government says, and that threat works well when the government needs the people to do something like stay locked in their apartments for 2 months of quarantine.
Thank you Mr. Cody for making me google what soaking is, despite you telling me not to.
What's really fun is when the same company makes a city's food for both their correctional facilities and their inpatient mental health facilities. Always fun when you're already prepared for jail food because you had it last week after a suicide attempt, not that I would know anything about that of course.
you should do an episode on the 'troubled teen industry' it's an adjacent problem but it's not technically part of the criminal justice system, parents can choose to send kids there for any reason and these places frequently lie about what it's like there and explicitly tell parents "not to listen" to their teens complaining about the conditions because they're "lying"
First: love the videos. Second: real question for the team. What do you think about Cracked trying to come back? Keep up the work, I never miss an episode.
Thank you, Cody and crew.
Too bad we cant explore these wonders with guest appearances from professor Scott Bug. He's very knowledgeable in sciency things and all things high tech and really the only one qualified to explain the complex workings of our vast political/economic superstructure of gleaming perfection.

Thank you for newsing inside me again this week cody. My brain is swimming in news and evil prison food slop.
Anyway I believe we should only rely on sheriff run prisons! Those are way better! Anyone reading this should definitely not watch the episode on sheriffs and realize that they ruin the public prison system. (Because they totally don't pocket the money from starving prisoners)
you would think the idea of a for profit prison would be oxymoronic... it's like having a for profit organ harvesting service... after a certain point where demand for bodies is not being met, there will always be people willing to blur the lines to make the quota and get some nice kick-backs at the same time.
