I know, right? This genuine little guy popped up on my home page two weeks ago doing well-curated videos on oddities and things, and I got hooked too. An infinite jest thus far.
I have always found prison art so amazing and creative. That furniture was beautiful. Hopefully that lead some to a useful life outside. Keep Safe❤Keep Well ❤
Who’d think prisoners could be so talented? It’s such a sad waste. Thank you for bringing us such good videos Jacob 😊 I love watching these videos, not only can they be educational but they’re so fun too! Well done and keep up the good work Jacob xXx
5:55 as someone who used to work at one of those prisons in Huntsville, it does not surprise me that camera was used up to 1991. Texas budget for TDCJ is low, the uniforms suck, the equipment is cheap, guns are vietnam era. It's ridiculous.
I’ve been to the prison museum before in Huntsville. It is very interesting to see all those things, but when I ran into old sparky, there was something that just would not let me stand to close it (even being behind the barricade). I normally don’t really get intimidated but something just kept me at a distance from that thing.
Wow I'm so sorry. I hear about exonerations all the time following the ACLU on social media. I think about how many innocents are in jail because cops and detectives just want a good closed case ratio.
I can't even begin to imagine the pain you, your son, and your family went through. There's so much corruption within the police - it's the same here in the UK. Love to you all from England ❤️
So sorry this happened to your son. I can't imagine the mental pain and anguish you and your family went through during that difficult time. God bless you and your family.
Love to see your take on the Alcatraz east crime museum in Tennessee. Went there recently, it was great! They have prison history, as well as the history of forensics!
We just moved from Huntsville there's actually 7 prisons I worked at Ellis, Walls and Ferguson units we loved going all the time take a walk across from the Sam Houston State University and youll see the duck pond on Sam Houston ave is the Sam Houston Museum he's buried by the Mance Park school on 10th and don't forget to go stand at the Statue of Sam be safe be good and keep traveling bro
Years ago, a friend of mine, who was a prison Barber, witnessed a murder by stabbing, in the Barber Shop. The inmate used a handmade knife to commit the murder. Needless to say, my friend walked out and never returned to the prison.
I used to visit a friend of mine who went to prison for five years for driving drunk because he hit a state trooper car after leaving a birthday party in 1982.
What do you mean underplayed, the museum is partially meant to show how bad prison is. For example you can go inside the replica cell and feel how uncomfortable the beds are.
@@jacksonhester163 I think they might be talking about things like human rights abuses that still occur in jails very commonly to this day. Inmates still get beat by COs, they also face retribution by COs in the form of contrived "shots" which can extend prison stays, and they also get murdered in jail plenty when it's the CO's jobs to keep an eye out and make sure everyone's safe.
You ask if you would let your baby sleep in a Bassinet carved buy a murder .how do we know our everyday Items we buy we’re not put together or made by murderers rapists ...
From what I know, these “arts n crafts” made by inmates that are low level prisoners. Levels 3 n up (murders n Etc.) Don’t have the privilege to do things like that 💁🏻♀️💁🏻♀️💁🏻♀️ don’t be so quick to assume.
Omg your on my side of town! I love that museum too! Make sure too check out the Sam Houston memorial museum as well! I worked in Ellis as a Correctional Officer for about a year. My husband still works as a Correctional Officer at Eastham and has been one for the past 10 years now.
It makes sense that prison craftsmanship is good - I mean, what else are they gonna do? They have a lot of time to work on it. Plus I imagine there's a lot of really crappy prison artwork that just gets tossed.
HuntsVegas! The Walls Unit aka death chamber is located 2 blocks from Sam Houston State University. Walked over for one execution, quite interesting to watch news folk/protests outside.
Please go to Mansfield reformatory in Mansfield Ohio when you get a chance! It’s a very interesting place to see! That’s also where they filmed Shawshank redemption.
My mother used to volunteer at a federal prison for women, with sewing and knitting to help the prisoners with life skills and home living skills. I asked her, "Why are you doing this? You don't have to volunteer at a prison." She told me that was the Christian thing to do. Sadly, she had to stop volunteering there because the warden started giving volunteers in the community coming in to volunteer a difficult time such as canceling volunteer sessions and more.
Unique thing is I used to do EMS out of S.C.I.G. Or State correction institute at graterford! I used to do emergency transportation It was a interesting time . Love ❤️ your video’s!
Spent 3 weeks in Huntsville, and 3 months in the boot camp program as a kid. No issues. Spent 2 weeks in Dallas county jail, before going to boot camp. Never been so terrified in my life. Over 20 angry men in an 8 man tank. It's not prison where you have to be scared. it is county jail. I had to make deals and put money on a guys books to keep things out of my butt and a safe area to sleep. Pay your tickets in Dallas. I'm 50 now. Boot camp did not scare me straight, but Lew Sterrett sure as hell did!!
The model of “leather restraints” in the display case are still used in many areas, one of which is on lethal injection gurneys. The Humane Restraint company, in Wisconsin if I recall, made/makes these. Where I work I had to repair some of these after years of service. They are very solid, yet relatively soft; humane… Good episode!
Prison art goes back a long way. There's an episode of the British show 'Time Team' where they investigate Normal Cross, a Napoleonic POW camp, and see some of the items the prisoners made out of bone. They're gorgeous.
Very interesting museum. I loved the beautiful furniture the prisoners made. Yes. Id love to have it in my home however the electric chair is the one furnishing I do not want. Loved the Karla Faye Tucker stamp. Would love to get one. She did not deserve to die. She was reformed for sure.
Epic Destination 💪 County and Regional Jails are bad enough , that will hopefully be the extent of my 🔒 up days. That Bonnie N Clyde gun was gorgeous man.
Yes I have been to prison in Missouri, Fulton, st Joseph, bowlingreen, Farmington, moberly, Jefferson city, it was not fun but I did have some decent friends and had good and bad memories..
i have to admit i am addicted to your videos
I know, right? This genuine little guy popped up on my home page two weeks ago doing well-curated videos on oddities and things, and I got hooked too. An infinite jest thus far.
every morning now i wake up and recite the words "heyy... you.... alll...carpetbaggerherecomingtoyouLIIIIVE"
".....let us know if prison was fun." 😲🤪
stop insulting the criminals
It was
It was rock n roll
Prison museums are so interesting.
Yap I live in Texas
Had no idea they even existed

Last time I checked they are humans but ok
@@devan1715 I didn’t say they were not humans. Some people in prison can be really nice.
@@devan1715 What's your point? She said it's a waste of talent, not that they weren't human bUt OkAy
@@FrenkTheJoy well how bout this engineer go to prisons for all their employees mhmm...
@Devan ?

I detest capital punishment. Its very frightening to see. Maybe that's what kept you away.
I went two days ago and I didn't get close to it. Just 361 people getting killed in that chair 😲
Obviously the big attractions that draw a huge crowd are cool, but these quiet less inhabited attractions are always my favorite 😊
Carpetbagger, Thanks for something New on a Monday Morning..
When he goes in a museum , you know that its amazing before start play on the video 📲
I am saddened by this video because my son was wrongly imprisoned there for 15 yrs and finally exonerated in 2001.
I'm so sorry ...and sorry doesn't even begin to describe how that feels...
I’m sorry about that
Wow I'm so sorry. I hear about exonerations all the time following the ACLU on social media. I think about how many innocents are in jail because cops and detectives just want a good closed case ratio.

I remember a cartoon that had Ol Sparky as A chair for the Mother In-law.
Was it made by Tex Avery? Sounds like his kind of joke. His future cartoons were filled with “mother in laws suck!” humor
Good morning Jacob, these are the things we want to see.Simply brilliant.And also the tone of your voice between some sentences, priceless.👍🇺🇸
Love to see your take on the Alcatraz east crime museum in Tennessee. Went there recently, it was great! They have prison history, as well as the history of forensics!
He has a video on that. He is the reason I went there 3 years ago.
Imagine playing Prisonopoly as a prisoner and going to Jail in the game
Loving all these Texas videos! Giving us some great trip ideas🤔 keep ‘em coming! 🎃💀❤️
The prison rodeo section reminds me of the film Stir Crazy,
We just moved from Huntsville there's actually 7 prisons I worked at Ellis, Walls and Ferguson units we loved going all the time take a walk across from the Sam Houston State University and youll see the duck pond on Sam Houston ave is the Sam Houston Museum he's buried by the Mance Park school on 10th and don't forget to go stand at the Statue of Sam be safe be good and keep traveling bro
Great video. Very interesting stuff. Thank you for showing it; love your style.
Theres a channel called 42 years in straight , this man is a walking Texas prison museum, its a fascinating channel
"And your buddy gets to watch you take poops". lol! Love it!
I been to prison in ga and I seen and learned things I thought you would only see in the movies
Like what? I'm genuinely curious
Excellent!! Simply great!!! Thanks Jacob. Necessity is the mother of invention, imagine when it reaches levels of survival. No limit.
Thanks carpet bagger!!.. From Sheffield UK! 😎🤗 love ya vids!
Years ago, a friend of mine, who was a prison Barber, witnessed a murder by stabbing, in the Barber Shop. The inmate used a handmade knife to commit the murder. Needless to say, my friend walked out and never returned to the prison.
No wonder the barbers are now other inmates!
Thank You Jacob. I will visit this place in the future. I worked in a state prison here in Delaware for 26.5 years.
I used to visit a friend of mine who went to prison for five years for driving drunk because he hit a state trooper car after leaving a birthday party in 1982.
Kinda messed up how they underplayed prison tho. Makes it seem more like timeout than hell.
What do you mean underplayed, the museum is partially meant to show how bad prison is. For example you can go inside the replica cell and feel how uncomfortable the beds are.

Since your wondering around Texas, you should come to Sulphur Springs and visit the Dairy Museum and our Glass bathrooms.
Fascinating stuff. That constant pulsating electric noise is a little unsettling though.
Torn handcuffs,who did this,the frinkin incredible Hulk lol

Takes me back to my days at Sam Houston State University. Good times visiting the museum.
I live in texas you should post a schedule of where your gonna be. It would be dope to meet you
I work in Huntsville and I’ve never actually been, lol. So neat to see Jacob in my town!
Omg your on my side of town! I love that museum too! Make sure too check out the Sam Houston memorial museum as well! I worked in Ellis as a Correctional Officer for about a year. My husband still works as a Correctional Officer at Eastham and has been one for the past 10 years now.
You + are = you're. To* ("too" means "as well as" or "an excess of").
@@englishatheart hi cc

Stunning crafted items. Very sad really. Thanks Jacob
I love when he says specifically,and even more specifically then that!
FUN FACT:
Jacob turned 21 in prison, doin’ life without parole. No one could steer him right.
But momma tried
wait who is jacob again?
I litterally was in Huntsville yesterday and asked my mom to go here and she said no. I almost met you
Love your content love the variety of videos love getting to visit thru your videos thanks for sharing with us.
Wow, totally interesting again, thanks for letting me watch! 🌟🌟🌟
HuntsVegas!
The Walls Unit aka death chamber is located 2 blocks from Sam Houston State University. Walked over for one execution, quite interesting to watch news folk/protests outside.
Very interesting video, thank you Jacob
Dose Prisonopaly include a get out of jail free card?
Please go to Mansfield reformatory in Mansfield Ohio when you get a chance! It’s a very interesting place to see! That’s also where they filmed Shawshank redemption.
I've been to this museum before. Nice.
Lots of cool history and weapons
The question about the bassinet was a loaded one. The answers could go in so many different directions
Wow six prisons that’s a lot for one city.
Thanks you my friend have a goodnight
I’ve not been to prison, but did a few months in county. That cell gave me major flashbacks. Those are the exact hotspots we had.
And they say Disneyland is the happiest place on earth
Jacob you are the best always entertaining love from Toronto Canada!!

Thanks, a very great and informative video.
Fascinating video!
Kentucky has their license plates made by prisoners as well.
Especially considering that more than a few were innocent.
What a great video Jacob,really enjoyed the chair 🪑 over 300 that’s so creepy to see that.Thans again Jacob for sharing
I say you got to watch the after prison show it`s a great RUclips channel !
I think the "telescope" was a nozzle for a hose.
My son got 50 in Texas at 19. He has 19 years down in May.
Killed someone?
Yes
I’ve been to that museum. Very interesting to say the least
Interesting but ivory is not elephant teeth it is the tusks
My favorite type of videos
Unique thing is I used to do EMS out of S.C.I.G. Or State correction institute at graterford! I used to do emergency transportation It was a interesting time . Love ❤️ your video’s!
Open a place call, Shakes N Snakes. Something for the kids.
I went to college at Sam Houston State there in Huntsville. Was hoping you might show some of the town. Good video.
Jacob, Huntsville Texas is my hometown 👍👍👍
Make sure you go here next: The Cockroach Hall of Fame in Plano Tx and the West of the Pecos Museum in Pecos Tx.
Sadly, it's closed.
@@chuckoneill2023 no it isn't. I just looked it up.
@@grimfan2109 According to the website of Plano Magazine, it closed when the owner retired. The article is from last month.

good ol lew sterrett. nastiest place on earth
Love your channel, subscribed!
Have you been to Wheels of Time Museum in Dunlap IL? Cool Museum featuring old cars and relics of the past
Hey Jacob have you checked out the Dragon arms military museum in Colorado Springs?
The model of “leather restraints” in the display case are still used in many areas, one of which is on lethal injection gurneys.
The Humane Restraint company, in Wisconsin if I recall, made/makes these.
Where I work I had to repair some of these after years of service. They are very solid, yet relatively soft; humane…
Good episode!
I've been locked up for drinking on probation did 2 months 1 week then rehab. And yes Jacob jail sucks ass .I learned my lesson
I’ve been here before and it was fascinating
Love your videos
8:54 - Looks like someone got inspired after reading about Ned Kelly.
Come to HEB for some bbq if you're still in huntsville!
I like the animated rat in the beginning 😂🤣😂😆
well that was as weird as I expected.
Prison art goes back a long way. There's an episode of the British show 'Time Team' where they investigate Normal Cross, a Napoleonic POW camp, and see some of the items the prisoners made out of bone. They're gorgeous.
Yaaaay im here early for a change! Love these videos 🤩
Wow! Hey Jacob you should come back to Idaho and tour the Old Idaho Penitentiary in Boise. Bet you'd find it fascinating.
Great video!
I'm from Texas and that museum is disturbing. I think I'll pass on this one.
I agree it has a dark vibe to it.
We don’t mess around in Texas!
Very interesting museum. I loved the beautiful furniture the prisoners made. Yes. Id love to have it in my home however the electric chair is the one furnishing I do not want. Loved the Karla Faye Tucker stamp. Would love to get one. She did not deserve to die. She was reformed for sure.
I've been here before. I bought a prison-made wallet, I used it for 5 years. Still have it, it was really well made
YIKES !!! And I live in Texas too.
Hi Jacob. I get if you dont want to but im trying to get into vlogging and would love to see the setup you use.
This is so cool and awesome
Epic Destination 💪 County and Regional Jails are bad enough , that will hopefully be the extent of my 🔒 up days. That Bonnie N Clyde gun was gorgeous man.
We have over 100 prisons/jails in Texas
Yes I have been to prison in Missouri, Fulton, st Joseph, bowlingreen, Farmington, moberly, Jefferson city, it was not fun but I did have some decent friends and had good and bad memories..
Prison was sometimes fun when you were playing d&d or working out other than that no it sucks
I painted the bonnie and clyde ,with coffee, in the video top right corner when he showed the art.
