I'm a doctor at a city hospital that cares for county jail patients. One time, we had a guy who had used a plastic spoon to self enucleate both his eyes. I'm not often shocked, but that one really did it for me.
As a Correctional Officer, from getting in fist fights, suicides, severally mentally ill, blood, and etc. What freaked me out the most and still to this day give me chills are the ghost in the jail 😭 so much I seen and dealt with but the ghost raised my anxiety through the roof
Dude I’d love to hear some stories, if you feel like sharing. I’ve heard lots of inmates and cops talk about seeing weird paranormal stuff in prisons. Makes sense, with all the bad energy, pain and death and misery going on in prisons. And I’m from the east coast, lots of very old prisons over here. I couldn’t imagine being locked up with an angry spirit and having nowhere to run.
When I did 3 months in the county jail in 1999 for graffiti, some idiot 18-year-old attempted to escape with only 2 weeks left on his sentence. He got stuck on barbwire and had to get rescued by the fire department. Then had 3 years added to his sentence in a state prison. What a maroon!
@@gracequach6769 For sure. I found a job, a beautiful gf, and started college 3 months after I was released and never went back. Graduated from U Albany in 2004. Unfortunately, things have gone downhill since 2012 as I was diagnosed with MS, had a failed back surgery, and was in a major auto accident that wasn't my fault. It's been painful to say the least. 😬 I still wonder about the kid who failed to escape. It's not we were at Rikers Island and his life was in danger. What was he thinking? I wouldn't be surprised if he never got out of prison after failing to escape 7 times in a row with just days left on his sentence. Lol
When you are responsible for a work detail you have to stay with them to maintain a running count and ensure the job tasks get completed, so nothing really unusual there. We don't have working elevators on my unit so I don't ride with them but I do have to drive the trustees around on a regular basis, it is daily routine that we are outnumbered and in close quarters with inmates this is not the ideal but it is the only way that prison works as large teams of inmate workers do everything from maintaining the unit to growing their own food because I can promise you tax payers would not want to pay for all of that, the state would have to hire over a thousand people to do the work that inmates do on my unit alone.
Fun fact on county jail. At least in America. Most people in there aren't even guilty they just can't afford bail while they await their hearing for their charges. Just to correct you on people being "guilty of lesser charges" remark
Less of a fun fact and more of a really depressing one but yeah. America says you are innocent until proven guilty, and then treat you like a prisoner before you even see a judge
That’s not terribly accurate. Bail bondsmen are there to pay bail when you can’t afford it, and 95% of the time, you talk to one during the booking process wherever you’re arrested. Most people in county have either tried to skip out on their bail (or have done it in the past, so bondsmen won’t touch them), violated the terms of their parole from larger prisons, are waiting on a bed to open up in another facility, or are serving out their sentences that might only last a year or 2. The rest are people denied bail for whatever reason, or in winter months, are homeless people looking for a warm place to sleep. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, but there aren’t a lot of suspected offenders that bail bondsmen won’t cover, especially if it’s their first offense or was a nonviolent crime.
@@heathermillsphantomlimb9314 bail bondsmen pay 90% of the amount, you still have to come up with 10%. And a lot of people getting arrested don’t have $500 or however much available at a moments notice lol
@@heathermillsphantomlimb9314 Another snafu is some bail bondsman will not give that 10% depending on if the “system” wants to keep you in jail. One simple call from the Corrections Facility and you’re outta luck. There’s so much corruption within Corrections Facilities and within the courts. I continue to type, it’s all about money and who you know.
I made some mistakes in my younger years and went to jail for a year. It was full of grown man-children , it was REALLY bizarre. I’m a recovered drug addict and this was bizarre/sad. Sundays were sandwiches at dinner-never fail…an inmate FLIPPED over not having much jelly on his PB&J, smashed his tray off a holding cell window and broke it, then incited a riot 😯 This guy was actually from my area and recently passed in an accident. He was literally insane imo.
My best friend was really bad off on dope. He used to tell me how hard it was to kick in jail and he wouldn't wish it on his worst enemy. Well he ended up going to jail in the worst of his addiction..he was wrecking hella cars nodding off and such but he's been out for about a year and he's all fat and happy 🤣🤣🤣 I do hope you are living your best life as well♥️those who are in recovery are the strongest people imo....and I have nothing but the utmost respect for those who are trying and those who have come out on the other side.
This video must have taken a long time to make.. making all the different inmates and whatnot. I just wanted to thank the whole team at the infographics. You're all doing awesome!
Almost worked for a prison when I was younger. Seconds after turning in my application. I witnessed 2 inmates moping the floor near me. And both had arms bigger than my head. That was first & only time I asked for my application back & tore that thing up. I said h*ll no! 🤣
If that is all it took to scare you off you made a good call, I work around inmates in a butcher shop where we issue them knives! Nothing like knowing that respect is the only thing keeping you alive every day you go to work.
At the county jail where I was housed . We had a guard that weighed 450 pounds. Whene there was a fight they'd call Him. He would give a big splash on the offenders and it was over. He was usually a nice guard too
My aunt won't talk much about her time working at a woman's jail outside of a few stories nowhere near this crazy, but she admits to being emotionally burned out by the women inside the jail. From what little she tells me, I guess I don't blame her for not wanting to talk about her old job.
It's funny to hear that about Fred West. My uncle was a guard where Jeffrey Dahmer was for awhile and he said it'd be easy to forget who he was too. He said Dahmer was really smart and he told jokes too and liked to play cards. I guess monsters aren't monsters 24hrs a day.
I was expecting legit horror stories (of which there are many) this is just routine stuff for us, we get similar situations on a regular basis. This kind of stuff may be shocking to someone who has never been in a prison before but for people with decades of time on the inside we have all seen much much worse.
The fat rolls guy is what had me shaking my head. Cigarettes are nothing compared to some of the things we’ve found. I worked at a regional jail for a good while, and we had a real big lady get booked in for assault w/ a deadly weapon. It was a newer female officer doing her Pat search, and she neglected to check under her fat rolls. Turned out that the lady had a .25 caliber semi auto pistol and 2 extra full mags tucked into the rolls on her side. We only noticed it when she was walking to her pod and it fell out onto the floor as she bent over to pick something up. After that, we had to attend a whole inservice about checking peoples’ folds, and they taped signs in the pat search rooms as a reminder. Fun times.
The things that struck me in this video are the terrible lapses in security. I ran AdSeg on 2nd shift (in OH we called it AC) for 16 months and had maybe 2 incidents where someone got injured. Read your post orders and follow them, you'll go home every night.
I have work 5 plus years in Department of Corrections in Colorado and some of the incidents I have witnessed make some of these stories look like children's stories!!!
Yeah in Texas this list of horror stories are routine stuff for us. We have an entire section of the prison just for the truly insane/dangerous just so we can contain the chaos.
@@lukethibodaux790 In New South Wales we have a ward for "Acute mental health". Ive been told its the only place in world that Correctional Officers are legally allowed to forcibly medicate inmates.

Had a prison guard witness a ghost ON the tier after 11 pm. Obviously nobody was supposed to be out at that time and everyone locked im their cells. Blew a whistle, chased the guy towards the end of the tier and back up came. Everyone looked high and low, did an emergency count etc. The guard was a solid dude and he was adamant he saw a person running on the tier. So did the other inmates. Case went away real quick.
Smh being a prison guard is very scary, you gotta be on point as a guard because anything can go wrong being around thousands of murderers, A cop must be easier.
If you ever find your self in jail just mind your own business and observe. --Do not try to pick fights -- Mind your own business -- Mind your own business -- Criminal or not you are not with the cops never let a gaurd get you to tell on fellow inmates. You have to live with those inmates the care dont care about you.
In 1989 I was working at Statesville in Illinois, and we had new guard, and it was his very first day in the cell house he was sent to get a prisoner and let him know he had a visitor this is when we saw him coming back to the office white as a sheet and shaking like a leaf and he was just mumbling he just kept saying they threw another prisoner at him off the number 4 gallery it seems that the guy died of natual causes and the other inmate in his cell grabbed him up and heaved him over we never saw that new guard again
I unfortunately lost a friend co while we were at the academy for gun training. He was sad and only showed us once how he felt, i walk in his house to him hanging. That moment drove me from CO that and the law can bd very ignorant. Rest in peace blythe.
And as for haunted prisons where I was housed was in a shut down phyc ward and I experienced haunted activities like being woken up by someone scratching my bare feet and no one was around or awake it was creepy
The most tragic story is people who are put in jail for non violent offenses and are murdered. Essentially getting the death penalty for writing bad checks.
Fort Dix had a borderline riot when my dad was in there because the Latinos/other health conscious inmates demanded beans and rice be an option. Prison officials saw how cost effective it could prove to be granted the motion.
My dad worked as an automotive teacher teaching how to do work on cars after several years he became a guidance counselor and even temporary head of the facility this place was a maximum security prison for youth inmates from 10-21 yrs of age all out of new York city and retired in the early 2000's due to his health cuz it wasn't safe for him to be there anymore cuz if an inmate flipped out and attacked him he'd have a hard time defending himself but it is what it is for sure
There's lots of stories about the now closed HMP Shepton Mallet including a dispute between day and night shifts over things being moved in an office. Eventually the prison governor got tired of the argument and spent the night there only to witness a poltergeist.
Wait... I'm sorry, what's "HMP" an acronym for here? I wanna look this up! I also see "Shepton Mallet"... Is that a person's name or the name of the place, or something else??
It makes sense. They say Poltergeists are created from people’s emotions and bad energy, fear, sadness, pain. Prisons certainly have a whole lot of each of those concentrated in a single place. And when some of them are in operation for 100+ years, there is bound to be poltergeists, residual energy, and some restless or angry spirits. It’s sad, while many of them may deserve what they got, many are also innocent victims of a very flawed justice system. If I was in their place, I would haunt that MF too.
@@KHEENGS I agree! What I disagree with is how it's done. When it comes to punishment vs rehabilitation, we see significantly better results with rehabilitation. We see FAR lower recidivism rates. As well as not making it difficult to impossible to find good steady employment, and in the United States felons lose their right to vote (which is a system practically designed to imprison groups of people for political reasons).
@@valeriejames4675 if they’d just decriminalize drugs (while still pursuing the large scale dealers), then take the money they save from incarcerating and prosecuting users and simple possessors to put into rehab facilities and wellness centers, you’d see the overcrowded jails and prisons empty out exponentially. After that, the Justice system could stop wasting time and money going after drug users and prosecute real criminals, and have more money in their budgets for rehabilitation programs.
With this neglected to say is in most fights they won't break it up until somebody has already hit the floor. They don't get paid enough or trained well enough to break up a fight between a large amount of people
That is what chemical agents are for, if they don't break it up you don't have to dive into the dog pile just break out the Mk9 or 37mm and blast them, when they are fighting to breath they won't be fighting each other.
And that is not even the tip of the iceberg of what we have to put up with in real life. Whoever made their list of horror stories has never been to a maximum security because that kind of stuff is routine.
Why were cemetery bars made of iron? Because iron blocks evil things from getting out. What are prison bars made of? Thats right refined iron! So when a prisoner dies if the are truly, unrepentantly evil they cannot leave to their well deserved fate. Note, there are worse things tham the afterlife on this plane you dont wanna find.
I have been sent to prison for 24 hours when i was 8 because i had parents who hated me and i was quiet it was actually like a really good prison i had to do jobs but it felt like i was a grown up when i was 8 because i was doing jobs for food and also fun i actually gained relief in that prison
I’m surprised that one story I heard about wasn’t talked about on this. It was featured on an episode of Paranormal Witness. An inmate who was released on a furlough so he could attend a family member’s funeral seemed to have been disturbed by an entity. So much he followed him back to prison when he returned. Rain would happen indoors around him. Creepy
Same here, dude. I had a worse opinion of my fellow officers than the population. Den of snakes who would rather throw good officers away than expose the corruption and fix the problems.
@@Jc3intelligent Soon enough, their day of reckoning will come. No organization of any sort has been able to stand once such a degree of corruption has manifested itself. If great world power empires have fallen in such a condition, so will that profiteering prison system. I am thankful I will not be in one of those places when it gets to its worst point.
As part of my job as a contractor I make visits to many prisons in the UK. I normally cover medium to very high security prisons, category A and B as they're often classified. One day while visiting a new prison I was following the signs from the main road to the prison car park, when all of a sudden to my horror, there was a swarm of prisoners in their dark green and light green overalls, incoming, heading towards my car. I slammed the brakes on and shifted the gear into reverse, thinking there was a prison break. After a few moments I realised these prisoners were not in a rush, but calmly walked past my car. So I parked up, and immediately called the department I was there to see, asking them if I was in the right place, as there were prisoners walking through the car park and out of the prison compound. They reassured me, and explained that I was in a Category-D prison (an open prison), and the prisoners were making their own way to work in the main town. That was the first time I had heard of, let alone, work in a Category-D prison. Later that day, some of these prisoners even came to the department I was working in and asked if we wanted a cup of tea - the regular staff accepted their offer, I declined.
your next challenge: in prison for week (max security ofc) give us your ideas about food, hygiene and maybe ongoing problems inside ( i udont mean join in gang but like situations of how inmates can educste themselfs etc
Oh that is a shockingly long list, writing that is like a doctoral thesis. Only problem is the state will not make a budget for it so it is never going to happen, right now we cannot even get light bulbs and plumbing parts to keep the toilets working what makes anyone think that they would cough up a nickle to do anything extra?

@@chloewright1 That's so cool! The fun thing is that if you speak Swedish you can have somewhat of a conversation with Norwegians and danes. Okay, danish is kinda difficult to understand but it's possible. So you go girlie!
The infografics show is my sleep therapy..
Used to be a Corrections officer at a max sec in Michigan. I spent 10 years of my life there. Only quit because I was doing 20 hours 5 days a week.
I bet it's a rewarding, but hard job.
@@chloewright1 It has it's days like any other job. I've seen too many things to not call it rewarding though.
What know Nd of guard was you? Decent or strictly rules
@@nicholastaylor2574 Decent enough to know that if a riot popped off, I could easily walk out of there with little to no interference. Respect is earned not given. If you go in there with that mindset, you'll go far.
I cracked up laughing about the Easter Bunny inmate 😂😂😂
The easter bunny had me DEAD. What a way to celebrate... lol
I just commented the same thing 🤣 I had tears from laughing
LOL, I've been sitting here clicking the like button watching it turn from 999 to 1000. It's amusing to me.
Hmmm…totally pictured something different when he was talking about mules throwing things over the fence, lol! 😂
Quite interesting video overall. Thanks! ❤️
🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Had a prison guard witness a ghost ON the tier after 11 pm. Obviously nobody was supposed to be out at that time and everyone locked im their cells. Blew a whistle, chased the guy towards the end of the tier and back up came. Everyone looked high and low, did an emergency count etc. The guard was a solid dude and he was adamant he saw a person running on the tier. So did the other inmates. Case went away real quick.
The one about the Sears Robot is hilarious.
Smh being a prison guard is very scary, you gotta be on point as a guard because anything can go wrong being around thousands of murderers, A cop must be easier.
No matter who someone is or where they live you can almost guarantee they’ll be looking forward to lunch for one reason or another
If you ever find your self in jail just mind your own business and observe.
--Do not try to pick fights
-- Mind your own business
-- Mind your own business
-- Criminal or not you are not with the cops never let a gaurd get you to tell on fellow inmates.
You have to live with those inmates the care dont care about you.
Now this is the stuff I miss you guys making
In 1989 I was working at Statesville in Illinois, and we had new guard, and it was his very first day in the cell house he was sent to get a prisoner and let him know he had a visitor this is when we saw him coming back to the office white as a sheet and shaking like a leaf and he was just mumbling he just kept saying they threw another prisoner at him off the number 4 gallery it seems that the guy died of natual causes and the other inmate in his cell grabbed him up and heaved him over we never saw that new guard again
Guard: Back in your cell, inmate!
Escanor: Who decided that?
As a prison guard; I am not surprised by any of these.
Ghosts in prison. If I could tell MY stories from here in Texas...
Please do.
man you go and tell a group of guys that live in prison you get a pork chops today and then say never mind you get bologna what the f*** you expect 😂👍
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but only if it goes in the right hole!"
I want that on my T-SHIRT
Same
12:53 I know exactly which scene you’re talking about and I have to say.. nice one🤣💀
this was in oompavilles playlist
I unfortunately lost a friend co while we were at the academy for gun training. He was sad and only showed us once how he felt, i walk in his house to him hanging. That moment drove me from CO that and the law can bd very ignorant. Rest in peace blythe.
I worked on a psych ward and a 600lb patient hid a phone in his fast rolls and stalked staff on Facebook and recorded us and patients.
LOL
I'm one of the 100 likes yay!
Good video 😎
An inmate pleasing himself
And as for haunted prisons where I was housed was in a shut down phyc ward and I experienced haunted activities like being woken up by someone scratching my bare feet and no one was around or awake it was creepy
I RESPECT ppl with jobs like this. I could never do it. It’s like being inside a horror film
The most tragic story is people who are put in jail for non violent offenses and are murdered.
Essentially getting the death penalty for writing bad checks.
I like how vague these are but great narrative makes ya listen 😅🤣😂
As a Prison Guard C.O myself I do say these things happen and alott more
Fort Dix had a borderline riot when my dad was in there because the Latinos/other health conscious inmates demanded beans and rice be an option. Prison officials saw how cost effective it could prove to be granted the motion.
never mess with latinos and their beans
@@sadebiru they're a lovely honorable people of faith and live healthy. God bless them.
@@sadebiru Theys got to have them beans.
Did it help with bowel motion
My dad worked as an automotive teacher teaching how to do work on cars after several years he became a guidance counselor and even temporary head of the facility this place was a maximum security prison for youth inmates from 10-21 yrs of age all out of new York city and retired in the early 2000's due to his health cuz it wasn't safe for him to be there anymore cuz if an inmate flipped out and attacked him he'd have a hard time defending himself but it is what it is for sure

I love your channel keep up the great stuff!!!!!
11:15 Prison Guards : *I'm NOT PAID ENOUGH for This !!!*
Prison guard: I've seen some things
Josef Mengle: *I do say I am a poet myself*
There's lots of stories about the now closed HMP Shepton Mallet including a dispute between day and night shifts over things being moved in an office. Eventually the prison governor got tired of the argument and spent the night there only to witness a poltergeist.
Wait... I'm sorry, what's "HMP" an acronym for here? I wanna look this up! I also see "Shepton Mallet"... Is that a person's name or the name of the place, or something else??
@@trishlong7702 HMP is Her Majesty’s Prison in the UK, and Shepton Mallet is the name of the now closed establishment
@@M4n0verbo4rd thank you! I ended up figuring it out that night, but I appreciate the response nonetheless. :)
It makes sense. They say Poltergeists are created from people’s emotions and bad energy, fear, sadness, pain. Prisons certainly have a whole lot of each of those concentrated in a single place. And when some of them are in operation for 100+ years, there is bound to be poltergeists, residual energy, and some restless or angry spirits. It’s sad, while many of them may deserve what they got, many are also innocent victims of a very flawed justice system. If I was in their place, I would haunt that MF too.
I like your animated versions of your content. What's your secret?
NOBODY goes to prison for driving without a license. It is a misdemeanor traffic infraction
You should do a video on what the guards do to the prisoners I bet she turns out equally as appalling
In the prison I was at the guards were the monsters
What are you talking about? “Insane things,” almost every last thing on this list seems completely normal and common to me
The birthday surprise was surpisingly wholesome
I seen 2 guards get into a fight with each other in the Indiana State Prison before. 😆
Best part of this video is knowing that Cooper is Southside!!
That Easter Bunny story came from Jay Williams. LETS LIVE LIFE!
Criminal justice system: *lock people in cages and treat them like animals*
The inmates: *act like animals*
Everyone: *shocked Pikachu face*
Maybe some of them shouldn’t act like animals before being judged to be incarcerated like one.
Not much of a shock there…
@@linusbroadbent2763 or maybe we should be helping people to get better and be better.
Because they are, ya know, people!
@@valeriejames4675 nah! Do the crime do the time
@@KHEENGS I agree!
What I disagree with is how it's done.
When it comes to punishment vs rehabilitation, we see significantly better results with rehabilitation. We see FAR lower recidivism rates. As well as not making it difficult to impossible to find good steady employment, and in the United States felons lose their right to vote (which is a system practically designed to imprison groups of people for political reasons).
@@valeriejames4675 if they’d just decriminalize drugs (while still pursuing the large scale dealers), then take the money they save from incarcerating and prosecuting users and simple possessors to put into rehab facilities and wellness centers, you’d see the overcrowded jails and prisons empty out exponentially. After that, the Justice system could stop wasting time and money going after drug users and prosecute real criminals, and have more money in their budgets for rehabilitation programs.
The first one was in the movie blood in blood out
The Jamie osuna scene would have made me need therapy
With this neglected to say is in most fights they won't break it up until somebody has already hit the floor. They don't get paid enough or trained well enough to break up a fight between a large amount of people
That is what chemical agents are for, if they don't break it up you don't have to dive into the dog pile just break out the Mk9 or 37mm and blast them, when they are fighting to breath they won't be fighting each other.
@@lukethibodaux790 that is true but of the 51 states there are only 10 states that allow their prison guards to use chemical agents
We are called Corrections Officers, we correct behavior and manage inmate/offender safety. We only called guards by the news when things go bad.
When a riot happens in a library, I'm pretty sure that's John Wick
This is so funny and so serious at the same time 😃😂
As a prior guard at the state for 7 years, you see a lot of messed up things. I'd say this video touches on a few good ones
The Easter bunny inmate 😂😂😂😂😂
I love the smiles lol.
Correction officers don’t make enough money for what they have to deal with.
And that is not even the tip of the iceberg of what we have to put up with in real life. Whoever made their list of horror stories has never been to a maximum security because that kind of stuff is routine.
Why were cemetery bars made of iron? Because iron blocks evil things from getting out. What are prison bars made of? Thats right refined iron! So when a prisoner dies if the are truly, unrepentantly evil they cannot leave to their well deserved fate. Note, there are worse things tham the afterlife on this plane you dont wanna find.
Copper is South Side. Copper was banned for possible gang affiliation.. that was funny.
I have been sent to prison for 24 hours when i was 8 because i had parents who hated me and i was quiet it was actually like a really good prison i had to do jobs but it felt like i was a grown up when i was 8 because i was doing jobs for food and also fun i actually gained relief in that prison
I’m surprised that one story I heard about wasn’t talked about on this. It was featured on an episode of Paranormal Witness. An inmate who was released on a furlough so he could attend a family member’s funeral seemed to have been disturbed by an entity. So much he followed him back to prison when he returned. Rain would happen indoors around him. Creepy
the birthday cake got me.... lol
We need to stop criminalizing poverty and mental illness
Lol my facility is haunted too. And the buttons go off all the time in the middle of the night. Unless u see shadows at the camera, ignore it! Lol
"COOPER IS SOUTHSIDE!"😂😂😂
First! These guys are dedicated. Love your vids!
It was the prison administration that drove me to quit. A bunch of worthless people in charge. Incredibly corrupt, too.
Same here, dude. I had a worse opinion of my fellow officers than the population. Den of snakes who would rather throw good officers away than expose the corruption and fix the problems.
@@Jc3intelligent Soon enough, their day of reckoning will come. No organization of any sort has been able to stand once such a degree of corruption has manifested itself. If great world power empires have fallen in such a condition, so will that profiteering prison system. I am thankful I will not be in one of those places when it gets to its worst point.
As part of my job as a contractor I make visits to many prisons in the UK. I normally cover medium to very high security prisons, category A and B as they're often classified. One day while visiting a new prison I was following the signs from the main road to the prison car park, when all of a sudden to my horror, there was a swarm of prisoners in their dark green and light green overalls, incoming, heading towards my car. I slammed the brakes on and shifted the gear into reverse, thinking there was a prison break. After a few moments I realised these prisoners were not in a rush, but calmly walked past my car. So I parked up, and immediately called the department I was there to see, asking them if I was in the right place, as there were prisoners walking through the car park and out of the prison compound.
They reassured me, and explained that I was in a Category-D prison (an open prison), and the prisoners were making their own way to work in the main town. That was the first time I had heard of, let alone, work in a Category-D prison. Later that day, some of these prisoners even came to the department I was working in and asked if we wanted a cup of tea - the regular staff accepted their offer, I declined.
There is no difference in the UK between jail and prison we only have jails
We do t have maximum security or different level security ones either jail is just jail
I was there when a food-fight turned into a riot at my high school. It was over PB&J sandwiches, for the curious.
your next challenge: in prison for week (max security ofc) give us your ideas about food, hygiene and maybe ongoing problems inside ( i udont mean join in gang but like situations of how inmates can educste themselfs etc
Oh that is a shockingly long list, writing that is like a doctoral thesis. Only problem is the state will not make a budget for it so it is never going to happen, right now we cannot even get light bulbs and plumbing parts to keep the toilets working what makes anyone think that they would cough up a nickle to do anything extra?
Eating popcorn, watching this 😂😂
