If you think the structural issues are bad then you should investigate the workloads and working conditions for the employees.
the entire country is falling apart not only prisons.
Hefty price tag??? WE GAVE UKRAINE A $100B +
🤔🤔
All that money they making and the place is falling apart
I know our government has the money to fix these prison’s because our government just gave Ukraine 200 million dollars.
Everything is falling apart in America.
Yeah, pretty much
230 milli😂 Just send them to rehab and close all pris9ns offer help
@@kem2271 its all by design, this is what a country looks like as it transitions to a socialist /communist state, have no fear, it gets much worse then what were currently experiencing, there're only in the beginning steps, it gets to it high point once they run out of other people money, once this happens the entire bottom falls out. let me add , it doesn't matter if drump gets back in or not , its not a matter of if the US falls but when. we've come to the point of no return, all because of a single rouge admin.
Isn’t that a mere fraction of our defense budget…
The family court system has been racketeering against the people mainly men for a retirement slush fund for the judges that's as large as the united state defense fund. You can look it up!
Invasion budget, you mean
Because other countries expect us to protect them.
Nah it went to ukraine
How dare you ask a valid question and hurt my Republican feelings 😡😡
😂😂😂
The crisis is the system itself and not just federal prisons, State prisons are 15 times worse
The federal prison I worked at part of the perimeter fence fell down due to lack of maintenance over the years. I’m telling you from experience that the BOP does not fix problems. All they do is put band aides on things.
Hope no one was on the rec yard
@@rihrih2013 No, thank goodness the yard was closed at the time.
Bop is a sham of an organization and should be investigated by the feds
A dude at FCI Hazelton walked right out, and drove a truck to visit his girlfriend, lol, the employees then tried to cover it up because they were so embarrassed, lol
If we made life better for the population and people where aloud to live a descent life making a good wage you wouldn't have to repair prison's. No one would want to go to prison with life being so good on the outside. I mean I know it won't stop all the crime. But I bet it sure would put a good dent in the crime Waves. Let's think about helping people out of poverty instead of building places to store people. Ya I know it's a nice dream!
If you don’t work you get welfare, housing, medical and entitlements tax free. If you work an average job, you’re actually the poverty stricken one. There’s a lot of types of poverty out there.
When losing your freedom doesn’t stop you to commit serious crimes, pretty sure living conditions is not a priority 😒 prison means punishment, we need more harsh prisons, longer sentences for deterrence
@@jimkasprak9070 poverty makes people commit crimes.
The fact is, many people wouldn’t work for $500 a day!
Orange is the New Black glamorized Federal Prisons.
I’m still investigating with other citizen journalists and reporters and lawmakers. To be continued nationwide.
The institutions in facilities ( maintenance) staff come in at 730am off at 4pm during that time because of inmate accountability getting tools from tool room 2x a day and returning then 2x a day and inmate movement they actually only have like 4 hours a day to actually make repairs and many of these repairs are because of inmates tearing things up why because they can
Owners of these prisons should be charged with hate crimes, wrongful imprisonment, and wrongful enslavement
Except they fund the elections of politicians and ...judges, lawmakers. Yah USA
Retired with over 26 years working in 6 different Federal prisons part of the problem is every year the budget for the prison gets lower so prisons have lower how many staff some are so bad that they are staffed at 80% which than makes other staff work Overtime many times unwanted ot then if said prison was given for example 100 million to run for the year and you now have to pay extra OT
We can't afford 2 billion to fix federal prisons... but we can send tens of billions to Ukraine? 🤔
Crazy right? Israel and Ukraine's problems seem to be on a higher priority and Israel is the most questionable since they can take on Hamas without the funding.
They should look Leavenworth Camp… that place is horrible and no one is doing nothing about it
Release doctor afiya Siddiqui
Build a whole new prison on an island that holds every single inmate in the entire USA and then tear down every eyesore prison we have to look at
Those eye sore are county jails and for profit prisons that are popping up everywhere.
Maybe instead of sending aid packages to other countries we should use that money to fix Americas infrastructures
It’s easy. They hire Bop staff that don’t know shat about facilities and maintenance. Most times they hire within and hire people that don’t even know about electrical, hvac and other stuff. They hire who they want and who they like but that hurts the facility because no one knows how to fix anything. Then they have to contract out wasting even more money when they could have done the repairs in house if they just hired people who know what they’re doing
we are spending 81 billion a year on prisons every year! we pay billions to private prisons who dont meet their inmate quotas… this is all screwed
Ashland, Kentucky is a mess…
Atlanta ga Penn a mess its one of the oldest
Boomboxes like hospitality are food for the sqweamish.
Is there any holes in the pentagon besides the one from 9/11? How fast did they patch that up. Cameras seem to always fail when uncle sam owns them.
And I'm sorry you guys are giving that much if not double triple quadruple them out to Ukraine we need to fix what's going wrong in our country I'm sorry I'm not trying to be mean Ukraine deserves to be free and that should never happen to them but we also need to try to fix what's going on in our home
Who is pocketing the money.
Money is put assigned to each federal unit for supplies, food service.
All units have maintence they are suppose maintain all units again wherecis the money going to.
Instead the ukraine so call war now the isreal instead cutting short in other areas of the corrupt government.
Once you've served you're time, your sentence is done
Prisons and prison systems seem to be entirely synonymous with the American people, don't they? They really are quite the fatherly occurrence now and then, aren’t they? What a wonderful world they live in.
They get way more money than State. So where’s the money?…
Classic BOP. The most negligent and criminal government agency. Go check out the federal detention center in Denver. Ceilings and walls have massive holes.
HMP Blundeston , Suffolk , UK , closed by our ( recent ) corrupt UK Government , after spending £10 million ( of our UK taxpayers cash ! ) on refurbishment on a FULLY functional jail ( prison ) , closed it , OMG ! to redevelop the site for ( much needed ! ) houses that could have been built ( simply , yes simply ! ) in a field nearby ( not Green belt ) this makes me feel Awful .. please comment .. DAVE™🛑
They still feed way better than state prisonS
imagine working in a place where the government is locking humans in cages coupled with inhuman standards and you want to complain about working conditions lol. you literally work in hell. Maybe it's time for a more respectable line of work.
Will this solve our prison population tho ?
So I was offered a job there in Brooklyn, guess I shouldn’t take it lol
Take it the money is good
Where is all the confiscated drug money?
But we send 100 billion to ukraine
Here's a quote from my Novel "Build more prisons"
And Ukraine keeps receiving billions of dollars....
They did a great job keeping Effery pstein J.E. "well" in their Care/Custody/Control...... 😂😂😂
Dam shame so where the taxes money going
to Ukraine :(
if they was ukraine they get the money
This is going to get bad, america is literally falling apart and the FED is not being stopped...
123 Federal prisons. Then add on the hundreds of state prisons, then add on the county prisons, then add on the private, for-profit prisons. And they call this the land of the free... 😆😢🤬
Don’t do a crime and you will be (: .. BUM
@@MacDrizzzle It's that kind of bootlicking subservience that has turned our once supposedly "free" country into the police state that it is.
@@MacDrizzzleJust don’t get falsely accused by corrupt cops. You can also get locked up for not paying property taxes for a long enough time. Meaning if you don’t pay extortion money to keep property that you already own, you can get locked in a cage. Neo-conservatism is complete brainrot.
Okay, see? This is total B.S. How in the eff are people buying that 'repairs' are totaling in the hundreds of millions of dollars????? Not sure about anyone else, but I personally have never been inside of a building that costs that much-land, construction and all.
That includes all the kick backs from the politicians to the contractors.
@@myrnawashington9057 exactly! It breaks my heart to see how the world around me truly is and how powerless the good people are to fix it.
I'll trade you a snicker for a soup
Well spotted quoting a Russian writer to gauge a level of civility. Obviously there is a cranny or two in those places that require filling to attain proper standard to resolve any issues. Unfortunately with jail population swelling across USA it becomes a less surmountable challenge.
The pay is atrocious at the fed level for correctional officers.
It is? Sure doesn’t seem like it. The parking lots seem to be full of nice new cars and diesel trucks
Lmaoo no it isnt some dudes make well over 100k
Nah they make good money but they also deal with killers so its not enough
They got the money.
#release dr AFIA SADIQUE
Its good 2 go better than most americans living
We sent 50 billion to Ukraine. Money could have been spent here
Band Aids
How much has the US given ukraine again?

If you don’t want to do the time, and that includes the conditions you are subject to, don’t do the crime. This video depicting the conditions inside federal prisons should serve as a deterrent to anyone mulling engaging in activities that are punishable by time in federal prison.
Privatisation may be the answer for many prisons since it would result in higher standards, more financing, and improved innovation.
Also worse quality guards
@@aaronalegria1239 why would privatisation cause worse guards?
@@michelandresbeck934 Because there is no accountability duffus! You obviously have a complete lack of humanity to not question why a private prison should even exist. It's people like you that has caused me to seriously question our future because fools like you are unfortunately a dime a dozen.
Privatized prisons tend to be much worse overall
All of our prison private. “Federal” prisons are government subsidized companies
