That prison is very suspicious. When I was a firefighter for Atlanta I ran a suicide call there. The guards was moving slow to let us in and once we reached the room cpr was already in progress but from experience I could tell he was deceased. The guard had a smirk on his face and it was just all wrong. Smh young dude to.
Damn smh that's crazy
That’s crazy I believe you bro
100% believe this
That is disheartening
In short, the staff were in cahoots with the prisoners 😡
And this is why our justice system is the laughing stock of the world.
Diversity ruined America
One of the reasons.
Yeah, it's a damn joke.
Our prisons are in line with how your entire country is run. That's why all you fools run here. If it's sooo bad, stop coming here.
Justice system 😂😂. Your Guilty until proven Innocent.
There's corruption in every prison
Yep
Clearly these people don’t watch tik tok.
If 60 days in has taught us anything, it's this for sure!
There’s corruption in everything. As long as there’s people involved, it will always be that way. The pastor at my parents church got caught stealing money out of women’s purses and from the offerings. He’s supposed to be working for God and Jesus and the man was corrupt. When he got caught shoplifting the church broke up and all of the older people went with him. Even with proof that he was stealing some of the older people just wouldn’t believe it. Everything will be taken advantage of by corrupt and greedy people.
Amerikkka was founded on corruption
Any place where cameras are not allowed in is suspicious.
it's funny how they act like they jus found out about these problems 🤣
...it's now a gentrification eye sore...
Right!!
I know right 👍
Exactly lol I remember seeing inmates escaping when I was a kid lol they are late to the party
@@antonioturner8388 Exactly and I'm 44
I don’t care about the drug screening or letting the cats in 😂 but the cameras do matter. I don’t care about the cell phones. What they need to look at is the conditions the inmates are dealing with and the food. Keeping people safe.
In regards to the cats, the complaint is more about them leaving the doors open. They coming and going as they please.
As long as it was "on the black side of town", nobody cares what happened in there .. now that the area is gentrified, it's a "threat"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯
Cmon somebody 🗣️
Then on top of that one of Atlanta's worse housing projects sits directly right behind it called 4 seasons....
forest cove?
This is criminal. But, WARDENS and the higher ups are NEVER HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
Never they dam near untouchable
This is the first time I’ve seen Jon since he got himself elected. Sounds like he doing his job.
No surprise here. In the State of Georgia at every level - federal, state, and local - people are being hired for government jobs
not because of their qualifications, but because of who they know in govt who can get them in
and because the supervisors working there are hiring preferentially.
This has been going on since forever.
That's pretty much most of these types of jobs they hire based on who they know not who's qualified
exactly you wonder why the youngins are lost....let then try to get a real job for 30 days and they will be treated like 3rd class citizens, thats white black and mexican kids.
You just described the process white folks had for decades to get jobs over black's.
This is nothing new.
@@vante2129 the best way to destroy a company.
This is so true
I would imagine some of those "helpful" staff need to be prosecuted for the crimes they committed not just fired or moved to a different facility. Bet they was making some serious bank being so helpful!
Tell it to the United Nations. No one cares
@@INTERSTATE20GA unfortunately, You are 100% RIGHT!!! No One Cares!!!! It’s an illness that’s already spread across the Country if not the World. Stay Safe.
The facility is over 100 years old. The BOP tried transferring the entire staff to other prisons and bringing in new staff.
Maybe it should be closed?
Rikers IsLand makes this place look like a childish country club joke Lmfao 😂
Doesn’t matter how old a facility, with the right staff and leadership it can run forever.
@@AJ420Psn no jail nor prison in the world can compare to Rikers Island. Lots of white people living in the city of NY, but, the walk around acting like angels because they know one mistake and they’ll be sent to Rikers where the most unusual savages lurk around seeking someone to gorge themselves with pleasure.
Riker's IsLand = 7th worst Prison in the Entire WoRLD.
Free SnooP Brim ⭐
@@AJ420Psn facts
I never heard of any of this until the last ghetto was torn down over there. Before that, I guess they hoped that prisoners would get out and kill the project people that surrounded that place. I'm getting tired of this. People complaining about stuff that aint as bad but when it really was bad they didn't nothing. All this propaganda is ridiculous
Them cats that rode past in that red drop had me hollering pause it when they drive up look at dudes facial expression 🤣😅🤣 classic
meee too Lmaooo i was like ayeee
@@Lanternorder lol
Just move all those prisoners to another state.
Tear that place down and build affordable housing for people in Atlanta.
Problem solved.
That's a big lie. Gentrification?? Build housing for rich White Jewish people.
Just put in gallows in the prison’s place and set an example every week. Problem solved.
I’ve heard for years that the prisoners there leave and come as they please
It’s openly known. I knew ppl years ago that were leaving and the guards knew
I heard that also!
Well, There You have it! Some The countries Biggest Crime figures are locked up there. Someone is bound to be corrupt.
They can only leave at the camp. The ones in the pen ain’t getting out for nothing
Just like a criminal when They fear there "way of life" ending....they'll do anything to shut a whistle blower up....humans fear truth so they could never be Gods....
Soulution:stop locking the wrong people up.Go to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave and start there!
They're too stupid to figure that out
first comment that makes sense
If the higher ups are not reading reports, what the hell are they doing? What job are they performing?
Ballin out with our tax dollars
CLUB FED! My cousin came home 2x a month when he was locked up there, I thought it was some kind of work release program.
Nah bro it’s a very dangerous place no club fed homie
This is the USP no club fed here..that’s the camp…
@@reekwillz1691 So this isn't a federal penitentiary?
@@E.P.7131 yes it is
Thank y’all for education me ✌🏿❤️🙏🏿family
Andy Griffin says" Okay Bob I will leave some supper in your cell , two bottles of coke, a pack of smokes, and the keys to let yourself out in the morning" Bob says, "Okay Andy I will see you in a couple of weeks after I commit my next crime." See you later!
He said these issues aren’t brought to my level. Then what is the 💵 only huh?!! Imagine that. And the govt acting like they care. They want that man prison for slaves
Staff shortage, low pay and long hours. What do you expect??
I NEED A MANDATORY MEETING WITH ALL STAFF MEMBERS. WE ARE ALL HERE? OK LET'S START THIS MEETING. ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE I START?....NO?...OK, THIS MEETING IS CALLED TO INFORM EVERYBODY THAT I CALLED TO THIS MEETING IS NOW FIRED. 🤣🤣🤣 THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. 🤣🤣🤣

How does this Bitcoin stuff work, I am interested and willing to invest heavily as I have heard too many testimonies
Who's this professional trader and how can I get In Touch with her? Can I start with 2000$?
you can make a quick contact with her. She's always active on Whats App>>> Messenger
I don't miss corrections. I know I made the right decision by leaving.
Lol 😂 me too. I'm good. I'm sure I looked soft or weak by leaving but I realized it wasn't for me.
They used to leave the gates open there as well🤣🤣,I thought it was a halfway house
Lol @ leaving prison doors open hoping stray cats would come in. So ridiculous it sounds like a comedy sketch.
You know these are the very ‘last days’ when even the cats enjoy going to prison.
I remember on New Years day of 2000 I found a bullet on the yard. The projects are literally right behind the jail. And the staff were a-holes.
I’m currently in Atlanta and trust me tell this day.🤦🏾♂️
@Wencer Calzado I’m out. I left there in 2001 and got transferred to Florida
Yep, four seasons right around the corner
Hoping stray cats would come in and take care of the rat problem, I didn’t think they were serious 💀
The Senator needs to quit grandstanding. The state prisons are the same.
What thf is going on here? How the hell does this happen? How stupid are these people? We the public are expecting for these prisons to be running in tip top shape this whole time and this kind of bull crap is been going on for 9 year! Smfh
Being born and raised in Atlanta. I always knew the city were a joke.
Same. I saw the writing on the wall when I left for college.
Jon Ossoff wasn’t playing any games with these folks
Scary af, because my kids go to school real close to this place.
Start at the top period and start firing, period
The American way is to start at the bottom, fire 2 guards, and stop!
Yep! Cause the ones on top know about the corruption they just chose not to do anything about it
Wooow you move the workers to another facility bringing in new employees really why not fire them when all their gonna do is the same stuff at other locations it's such a shame how's business keep no good employees around since COVID I've seen it all Federal government knows all jails and prison has corruption they fail to do anything it's happening in every state America is really going down down more poverty and homeless problems on top of everything smh
What’s your point ma?…You said nothing.Prison is modern day slavery(nothing rehabilitating about it)not sure why you’re making a “pro-prison” statement
-AND bTW-
the Corruption bEGINS IN THE COURTHOUSE!!!Prisons/jails are just the bi products of an already Crooked system…..💯💯💯💯
No one wants to work in the prison system for the money they pay officers. The risk is too great. So they keep the corrupt staff because they know that they will have a hard time replacing them.
Send Victor Hill over there. He’lol run a hierarchy probably but we’ll feel safer. He’s perfect for the type of people there. Real criminals. Not everyday people in a little trouble. Hey the man’s past is sketchy but he was just in charge of the wrong place I guess🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
*”these slave institutions should be ashamed of themselves” 👀 - MELL DUNEY 616*
🙄
How about we send all the criminals to YOUR house then, if you love prisoners so much?
These Southern states have so many serious problems.
Most of the states don't generate enough money to support their whole state. Now that the USA population has shifted from north into Southern states especially atlanta, Georgia and its metropolitan areas. I believe the money is showing up in this area federally. So now people who have those funds and housing (owning their homes or purchasing) are reaching people high up in politics to take notice of what's happening in that neighborhood where is prison is. And keep in mind I'm sure some of the pisoners have gotten blamed for crimes happening in that area also. I'm sure people would have NEVER bought hoes over in that area if they would have known 🙄😒 they could be ribbed, rapped, murdered, come up missing, ect. Because this is "normal" for that area. ALWAYS check the police report for an area before buying your property or moving in there. By law...a realtor CAN NOT TELL YOU A LOCATION IS BAD NOR GOOD. lol this area is about to become 😂🤣a MULTI MILLION DOLLAR 💵 AREA.
This is every penitentiary. Modern day slavery
As if we don't have enough problems here. They already let criminals out too early or without punishment. But leaving the doors to the prison open...please!
You know these are the very ‘last days’ when Even the cats enjoy going to prison.
That cutlass at 3:03 is something nice
Expose em all!
It’s About time!
The way that inmates get treated in jails is cruel. Stop discriminating against convicted felons.
That prison is crazy as hell lol inmates always breakout
Prisoner making daily vlogs?! 🤣🤨And ppl wonder why the crime "suddenly" is worse in Atlanta. They probably go out at night commit some petty crimes and come back before sun-up like they have curfew at their dorm room. Geez!
Is this really a surprise??
Chocolate city, chocolate prison, chocolate corruption.
White warden..
White investors in corrupt private prisons
The fact that they won't fire anyone even at a federal prison is sad. That's the problem with the country has as whole. They can't fire anyone unless the staff member is literally going on a rampage. SMH
They won’t fire anyone because they are already understaffed. The “leaders” don’t want to step in and up to help so their motto is a corrupt body is better than no body at all.
Why is it rats in the prison that's inhumane
Prisoners are bad people they are in there for a reason. Let em suffer
Call. BLM. And. Rev. Al.
Why wouldn't they just adopt shelter cats and let them live there WITH THE DOORS CLOSED.
This place should be shut down, have all leaders and staff fired and banned from working in any prison, and transfer the prisoners transferred to a real prison.
All the things that need repair in Atlanta, the Senator stars with the prisons.
I was in there back in 2002 and a rat use to come to my door because my celly was feeding it food lol
I was there in 2005 and the rats 🐀 were a major problem and the roaches 🪳 were a major problem it’s 17 yrs later and it’s just now a problem I know 17 yrs later the rodents have multiplied
Maybe you should have spoke up then !!!
@@ericc.1570 He was one of the rats. He wasn't allowed to.
@@ericc.1570 and be targeted. You sound like fool.
Just a thought, maybe if you weren't there in the first place, perhaps 🤔..
The staff is probably sick of not having any funds and or manpower.
The cats wouldn't eat the prison food when i was there
I bet there's no riots there etc there chilling smoking bud and drinking doing there time lol
Move Leadership. ASAP
They talking about the federal prison all and I do mean all Georgia prisons need to be under investigation staff bring in more drugs and phone then anything,,the money for everything is high in prison 800.00 to 1500.00 for a phone, you do the math..
this is every prison....
Damn!!! The USP has turned to trash.
Dam he said they were coming and going as they please
Here in Atlanta!
Like yo surprised 😂😂😂
Did they mean the four legged cats,or the two legged ones from the ghetto behind the prison ?😮
Naaaah,really,do you think,.....wel l
about all prison are corrupt.....
This is like an episode of Oz.
1:02 in name ONLY had me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🎯🎯🎯
You're Kidding! This can't be TRUE! SMFH! 👽
All right Osoff.
I know someone was their and he talked about the same thing. Tear it down and rebuild you’ll got the money.
We’re gonna have a prison crisis soon.
Not surprised at all 🙄
There's only one source that is allowing Cell phones to be in the possession of Prison inmates . Any Local County State or Federal place of Confinement that Permitts that type of contraband in their Jails or Prisons is condoning the behavior of those who are Responsible for bringing in Cell phones and drugs , and this Crime that is being Committed can or will Lead to Weapons (guns)
Being smuggled in , to help facilitate a Mass Escape from a Jail or Prison .
Hasn't anyone noticed that all these experts in broadcasts always are squinting like they gotta fart? To much light people. Geez calm down with that.
I was in this prison and was physically assaulted by staff
The leaders of the BOP should be given their walking papers immediately.
Shocker.
Why does the "prison" look like the queens palace?
Paid In Full.
I was there for 5 yrs and it was the best place I've did time at
What years? And by "best", what do you mean?
@@E.P.7131 2005 /2010 what I mean by best is the time Flys it's something to do everyday
@@jamariwashington9596 Glad you're home. Never go back there.
That's sad..An MBA requires less time depending on the Major..just saying..
Why didn't they just get cats and bring them in to live?
Lmao they might as well close them all 😮💨🤣🤣🤣 trust me
I used to live on hill st not far from this prison. Prisoners regularly walked around OUTSIDE the gates of the prison. Roadblocks were a regular occurrence looking for prisoners who had just walked off. I constantly had to alert people coming to my house about roadblocks near or around my street.I would often here helicopters flying low over my house & have seen black ops officers dressed in all black faces covered belly crawling through my backyard looking for an “escaped “prisoner. The funny thing is out of all the times I witnessed these searches less than a handful made it on tv into an alert letting people know. It was VERY CLEAR that they didn’t want people to know
The report made me say to myself "This is Uvalde on steroids."
They should not have phones in prison under any circumstances
Looked like a green-screen when they “went live”..😂😂😂…JUST ME?
Can ANYONE else get a good mental vision of what this “staff” probaly looks like?????😏🇺🇸
Like you
No say it ain't so!
ATL been fucced up
Pretty sure 👨🏿
pose a bigger threat
Is this the facility the inmates had a BBQ at on the steps ? Cuz that’s what it’s giving
Picture says "corruption" and she's talking about safety???? Two totally different things.
This is a joke. Shouldnt even have gotten this bad.
Let my ppl go!!!
Shut that place down!
