Yeah, at least in California spear/javelin type weapons made of rolled up paper and a makeshift "paper mache" type material are common in SHU/Level IV. Sometimes with tips made of other materials like melted plastic or metal. You can make a slingshot out of fabric/elastic from socks or undies and they can be "shot" like a ghetto bow and arrow through the holes in exercise cages and solitary cells.

Unfortunate that some of these guys could have been successful business owners instead... Theres enough brainspeed, memory, charisma , courage for a better lifestyle.
@@james6846 This has nothing to do with strong male role models. This is the result of an entire system which fails them. Watch documentaries from Northern England where the gang and youth issues are far worse and you'll see how the kids who got sucked in feel. It's purely a lack of support in all aspects. Education,. housing, food, family. It all comes together to form a lack of basic structure and needs.
@@d1vin1ty It all starts from the home. Boys need a strong foundation that's based on morals and values that are instilled from their fathers or strong male figures. Where do you think support comes from? It's the parents. Blaming the system is just an excuse for not putting in any effort. There have been plenty of examples of successful men that have overcome bad environments.
@@james6846 You have absolutely no idea what you're on about. Your ideology isn't a one size fits all. You've somehow found the second mount stupid in the dunning Kruger effect. You just make a bunch of vague statements to try to justify a spurr of the moment deduction. Socialization isn't something that just comes from "strong male figures" that's a ridiculous simplification. Even then that is a small part of the system that has failed these people. I'd suggest putting effort into evidence based learning instead of taking every shower thought you have as fact.
Sending minors to Rikers Island is ridiculous. Going through that place won't "rehab" anyone, let alone be necessary for a 16yr old robbery suspect. Our criminal justice system is so insanely heavy-handed and biased.

I got to say for someone that dont want part of something you sure talking alot on it all I'm saying is there will be those that dont rate or respect that because it dont matter weather you talk names talking situations automatically gives names because only so many names was at that place at that time
The part about making a stabbing weapon out of 15 pieces of paper... the level of ingenuity in prison is insane.

You're right and respectfully, making something out of nothing in the real world is a virtue 🙏🏻💪🏻🇺🇲

nice😊
Your a good man brother much appreciated 🙏🏼
Prison is definitely a scary place... if someone sees any weakness in you it’s over

This is why boys need strong male role models in their lives to steer them in the right directions

It’s so sad thinking about how many Einsteins are born and die in poverty.
Dude is built like Walter Fisk. Dont mess with him.
1:08:13 i think you could have a great future in voice acting. Your voice sounds perfect for movies, games etc.
And also, much respects for not making excuses like that last fool, that played before you, did l.
And the guy after is the opposite 😂 his nasally congested sounding voice is unlistenable.
Nice

Sounds like a great reason to not be a criminal waste.
@@TingTingalingy you're the reason America has the highest prison rate in the world. how embarrassing

2nd guy. How victimhood is my badge
My thought exactly
Shabangs were mandatory for me on my bid
You see the potential of man once they rally together. This gang is like an organization. So why not use that same knowledge for something good??
Isn't that nice that you can make friends in such a bad place.
He couldn't do a burpee now if his life depends on it
