Tried to get at him, but he was in another cell. He got life for it. I was 19 at the time. Seen several stabbings and brawls in federal prison. All of it seems unreal. Hard to imagine even though you know it can happen at any time. Watched that Top 10 too. I know some crazier, bad ass dudes and couple of women too. You never want your ass cut up like that.

      PTSD is brutal. It’s like taking anxiety disorder and depression, blending them together and then cranking the volume to 10. ..and there’s a lesser known type of PTSD called “Complex PTSD”. It stems from repeated trauma rather than isolated traumatic events.
      With CPTSD, in addition to the depression and anxiety, your brain is in fight or flight mode 24/7, so to cope it will “disassociate” and take you out of reality.

      @@LarryLawtonJewelThief I know I'm late to the party on this one, but you mentioned towards the end of the video that you worry about what you're capable of and I thought it was important to respond.
      Your knowledge (of how you would react) is from relevant experience, not your personality. People who have been in traumatic life-or-death situations have direct experience of what they would do in intensely frightening situations. For you, that was prison and the criminal world. For others, they have the same reactions from serving in the armed forces, or high risk parts of the emergency services.
      I know that you have PTSD so, as an ED/ER doc and a veteran myself, I thought it important to reassure you that knowing what you are capable of does not make you a monster, it makes you a human being who has lived through traumatic experiences.

    I remember this one story from a mouth I trust not to bs.
    There was guy who decided to check out and to do so, he wanted it to be as dramatic as possible; he slit his wrist open with a shiv.
    Thing is, apparently a few seconds after he did this, he grew cold feet.
    So he began to bang on his cell door, screaming that he was bleeding, he needed help.
    Nobody came... and apparently it wasn't like the guards wouldn't be able to hear him.
    He kept banging on that door and screaming, but with each scream his voice grew weaker and weaker.
    Last thing my friend said he heard was sobbing.
    Then he was wheeled away in the morning.
    Lesson? If you're thinking about checking out, think real fricking hard before you do so... and seek help... because no matter how lonely you think you are, there will be people who miss you.

    2: Have you reconciled with the people you've attacked in prison? How was the relationship afterwards?

    2: The hollow coconut-like "POK" sound of an old ladies skull hitting the concrete pavement as she fainted and her legs suddently gave in. she cracked her skull and there was so much blood. she didn't regain conciousness before the ambulance arrived... But I was told she survived after surgery...
    3: Was jumped by 5 guys while walking home late at night. Next thing I remember was standing on the road with 4 stabwounds and a black and blue face... they were all gone...

      @@JokerInk-CustomBuilds Yea be glad that you didn't have a gun with you. It would most likely have escalated their violence because they'd actually feel you'd be a threat. So either you'd be dead, or you'd end up shooting one of them. Either way, more emotional trauma and drama.
      Even if you feel you had all the right to mow them all down right then and there, in court there'd probably be some paperwork nutjob saying "you used excessive violence in defending your own life. You're going to jail". Even though it's nigh impossible for most people to control their anger in such a moment.
      That's also the reason why they banned guns in most countries. No human is capable of bearing the consequences of a decision they made while holding a gun in their hands. It only takes a split second to pull that trigger and have years of consequences instead of some injuries and some emotional trauma because you couldn't win a 1 vs 5 fist and knife fight you didn't ask for. It can feel scary and unjust to not be able to defend yourself, but when you think about the consequences....you kinda have to be glad that you weren't too much of a threat to them and they let you go after they had their fill.
      Anyway, good to hear you made it out alive.

    Thanks for sharing your stories Larry. I'm in Canada and our prison system here is a whole different ball game. I know you're looking for some prison reform, but we've gone too far the other way. I'm curious on your take, I believe the prison system and justice system are overwhelmed and underprepared for the widespread closing of asylums. I truly believe there are people that need to be under constant supervised psychiatric care. Your shirt, "No bad people, Bad decisions" can't be applied to everyone. Some folks don't know the difference. My 2 cents, but I think if they re-opened psychiatric facilities (asylums) there would be a better prison system and less of a homeless problem like you see in big cities all over the place.

    When I first heard your story about the guy raped and cut here to there, I had a physical reaction. I still get uncomfortable and shaky when hearing again or thinking about it. I am truly sorry not only for the victim, but for the rest of you who heard (witnessed ) it. I understand how such a crisis sticks with you long after it is over. It is PTSD, only not acquired serving in the military. I also understand losing control, and not knowing what action I would take if it occurred. And yeah, it is unsettling as hell. Take it easy.

    All of this is gut wrenching. I often listen to true crime videos and some of the things you said are worse than most of the crimes I heard there (there were few exceptions however) As far as the guy who got his anus cut I can't imagine what he went through (nor do i really want to) As far as the guards doing this to guy's leg this should not go on even in a prison. As far as this ordering person to cough. i really don't see coughing really making a difference in finding out if he is "suitcaseing" something. Before I seen channels like this one I thought that strip search meant you would have to get naked and be patted down and that's it. When I heard of what it actually entails I thought about it as almost a form of rape. the thought that someone would break someone's leg because this person was not coughing loud enough and then after being constantly yield at about it got agitated screams abuse to me. I did expect something like that and it was not surprising for me because by now I know enough society and how it really operates at least more than i did when i was younger. but something like that should never be normalized. people keep telling me that this kind of thing is reality. and i keep telling them that laws of physics are reality as far as things like human society reality is what we make it. and noee of the things you talked about in this video should be ever considered normal. Not even in prison.
