A common "American" agenda is to:
- Implement something to make an established system, terrible.
- Propose privatization as a solution to that problem.
- Push privatization through.
Basically what's happening with USPS right now.

@@mfrommi6593 Nobel Prize winning economist Milton Friedman has proven that a free market system is best, it’s government and the politicians who are bad
A great commentary on this is the old onion video “should the government stop dumping money in a giant hole?”
I used to work in a lockdown therapy facility for young folks, which was owned by the GEO Group (a for-profit prison company). It was very much run like a prison. Instead of infractions, we had "incident reports." I once wrote up a girl for accidentally hurting herself, which was considered an "incident," and she was so freaked out about the idea since she'd been IR-free. IRs impacted kids' ability to visit home, get new clothes, phone their parents, etc. I promised her it was fine because I was following policy and it wasn't her fault, and I even wrote her a note to show other staff that she wasn't in trouble. But she did in fact come back and tell me later that she'd gotten heat for having an IR. :( Very ****ed up place.
People who become suicidal in prison are brought to a crisis team. After the crisis team “talks it out” with the inmate. The COs come in handcuff him and place him into a solitary cell where he wears a straight jacket and nothing else, he’s in there butt naked, with a large window so everyone walking by can see him. In prison, you learn to keep everything to yourself. Sure there might be people who actually want to help, but in the end there is no way to help someone in there. Everyone believes that every inmate is a terrible uneducated person that’ll only do the same thing again and again, but they don’t know the actual person. They just want to see someone who made a mistake suffer forever.
" Lockdown therapy facility? " Excuse me?
@@rathernot6587 Itr's just a name so they can hide what they do. We need to stop being such fearful and lazy thinking people.

Ahhhh that's an infraction.
got an infraction? heres an infraction
Here's an infraction for not having enough infractions. That's 3 infractions. Looks like you're going into solitary.

You know what prison is about? It’s about revenge and money. It has nothing to do with justice.
Even worse? The stigma of being a prisoner, no matter the charge, absolutely tanks people’s job prospects. And while in prison, the former prisoner got to know people, some of which were a lot worse, and or had contacts with people on the outside. Combine those two, and you have someone who has no choice but to turn to crime to survive, and now knows how to do it.
Because it reflect society morals honestly, I don't see the "government' as the issue honestly it reflect society itself. Many people often look for revenge, example rape cases I heard men and woman tell criminals "I hope you drop the soap". We allow this to happen, the shortages of first responder? Simple the amount of times we hear F the police or some stupid thing It silly we sit here pointing out the obvious while remaining oblivious to the issue. People don't want to change at all. If we wanted a better system we should vote better people in it not that hard but no people don't want to admit their wrongs. NYC for example "rents to high" "crimes to high" "First responders are over worked" etc all these issues yet for the past 20 years we had the same group of people in office. Stop holding groups accountable too nothing wrong with that but it allows certain induvial to stay in power try to vote based on if the person not the party
That's only for America. In other countries prisons as justice isn't so much about punishment for revenge but about rehabilitation and reintroduction into society with new skills and knowledge that you learned.
Only in the USA you have that stupid revenge porn shit, at least in the other developed countries i know of... More developed countries to be correct.
Making prison about revenge is the most idiotic thing you can do and if anything shows that you are a highly underdeveloped country.
@@toaster_gmbh none of them rehabilitate, atleast I can say for Italy, Germany, Portugal, and USA.
@@USA_UNITED1776 actually not really according to the simple fact that most people that go to prison don't go there again, more than in america for example.
@@toaster_gmbh Kiwi here
sadly its not just America that only likes punishment over rehabilitation
I got a felony when I was 18. 18. Barely an adult. No one will let me buy a house, or get a new job if I wanted one. The only reason I have a job is because my aunt owns a business. I’m 23 and have been completely sober for 4 years, have a kiddo now, and I’m still judged for my non violent felony from 4-5 years ago after all the work I’ve done for myself.
Best of luck to you and your family
You need to look into expungement. You can do it yourself or pay an attorney. Start with the court your charge came from. Ask if it's eligible for expungement.
I had a non-violent felony when I was 17. All I got was 2 years probation, but it placed my life on hold for 15 years. Got my conviction expunged at 33, went to Community College, and here I am now at 43 with a triplex full of renters and a job in truck driving that pays $80,000 a year.
My friend was once in prison. Best hotel he's ever been to.
*laughs in scandinavian

Which is weird because those prisons result in stupidly low recidivism rates. They actually prevent crime which is the function of a prison in an ideal world. Also your country has one of the lowest crime rates in the world due to taking a rehabilitative attitude to crime and not a retributive one.
Still it's not fun to be locked up, how big the "cage" might be.
In before people claim It's not an effective deterrent.
rapu And yet they work better than the horrible cells in the US. Crime rates overall are lower, and recidivism is a lot lower.
I just wonder how much longer this show will last before it gets shutdown by all the pissed of corporations.
J Kilroy some corporations are much bigger then youtubr and can pressure them or offer them huge sums of money, u really think google is an angel?
+DomSchu - *"I just wonder how much longer this show will last before it gets shutdown by all the pissed of corporations.*"
Coporations don't fear the people; generally speaking, you don't fear what you own. As President Elect Trump said so eloquently, "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters". In a country this tired and apathetic I shouldn't think a prison corruption story is likely to move people to action.
3:23 - 3:47 They are handing out invisible food!
No, that's african traditional food
Invisible food saves money.
Hello link lol
😂😂😂
Good eye
“Oh my god, someone’s profiting on this?!”
Have you been in America before?
did anyone else notice how perfect that catch was? 3:15
Rogelio Hernandez Perfect right in between her fingers. She can probably catch a ninja star.😂😂😂
I feel bad because it's about a serious subject but as soon as I saw that I had to re-watch it multiple times in slow motion and completely lost track of what they were talking about. Then I came looking for this comment, was not disappointed.
Yes, that was awesome!
Rogelio Hernandez yes it was perfect
While the catch was well-timed, it was the throw that was actually notable.
And the sad thing is that people that go to prison even if it was for something small and non-violent they will have trouble getting jobs, homes and other things that you need to live.
Which makes no sense to me.
Even if it was non-violent it was still a crime
Yeah,as long as they arent my friends,family or people I like
They deserve a lifetime sentence
Its just the system telling us to have excons to have no jobs and then relapse so prisons(not just private prisons) can get that sweet sweet money!
Oh and the courts makes money too. Oh and the media that broadcast criminals crimes.
Stop committing crimes then...?

I actually received training that was good and was TDCJ certified correctional officer training. I found myself working at a private prison that had my wage at 9 dollars an hour. No breaks. Twelve hour shifts.
They actually have cut corners everywhere. The company running it was god awful. In fact it was poorly designed that inmates are more easily able to get in trouble so we’d have to write them up on offense reports more often.
It would take me a pen and paper to explain it thoroughly but let me put it like this. They weren’t in cells, they were in full on dorms. Like fifty bunks in a room with a Dayroom and restroom. The luxury makes them spoiled brats.
It’s also incredibly dangerous if you didn’t realize to walk into a dorm with fifty convicts without restraints.
Private prisons are awful.
So in effect the guards at private prisons are almost prisoners themselves?
WTF?
Jonathan Sotelo wait TDCJ, does that happen to stand for Texas Dep. of Criminal Justice in this instance?
Norway has a luxurious prisons and the lowest crime rates so I don't get the connection but yeah 50 prisoners in a room with one officer won't end up good
zeke ross there’s a unit near where i live that has the highest officer turnover because of how bad the residents(term ACC/ADC uses for innmates) are.
Wish they'd mentioned how private prisons also cut costs to dangerous degrees, to the point that easily-treatable ailments are left untreated, leading to people dying from *gangrene*
Adam Ruins Prison??? OH NO, but I loved prison, now you're here to ruin it!!
We love the security prisons bring us
More like the security it brings rich white guys.
+Mark Burgess you're an idiot
Me or the rich white guy?
Mark Burgess I'm pretty sure he means you, because of the +Mark Burgess...
I think prisons should rehibilitate prisoners so they stop and do something good with their life which makes them not do it again, lowering crime rates
sadly the US prison system is about punishment, harmless drug "crimes" and money, not rehabilitation.
How sad it is to see a RUclips comment with better morality than a government's legal system
Yeah, but so many people in the US just want to see them "punished". Rehabilitation is a better measure. Treat your prisoners like humans, give them education and a way out of crime afterwards and crime drops. Holy shit. I'd have never thought as such.
You also have a society that really doesn't want to even give you a chance after you get out so you can't really move on after prison without help. Or else you have to do things that send you back to prison.
Bradley Hinton like the prisons in norway?
I once heard the tale of a poor man, who stole stores and waited for the cops to come get him so he could pass the winter without freezing to death.

"Whatever you think the purpose of prison is it isn't doing it" So prison DOESN'T put people in unflattering orange clothes.
This is more relevant than ever.
solitary confinement is some 60's insane asylum shit...
Bored Nerd , I didn't find solitary confinement all that bad. The sections for solitary are called special housing units. Spent 3 months there.

holly starbuck I was placed in the S.H.U. for testing positive for marijuana. Serving a 10 year sentence for Armed Robbery (a bank). Courtest of New York State.
I can't imagine anything more maddening than being locked in a tiny room for years without human contact. I'd rather be executed.
Kingxander123 It's about an 8x10 area. Well ventilated and peaceful, cold in the winter. Meals 3 times a day and access to Novels and other literature. Not really the torture people think it is but no paradise either. Takes a strong mind to endure the time.
This version of Adam Ruins Everything is far weaker than most of his others. He failed to mention the very important point that most of the profit comes from modern slavery. The prison has access to very cheap or free labour. That is why private prisons put pressure on the judicial system to keep sending them more and more prisoners and they don't care if they are even guilty.
klnm59 it’s legal though according to the 13th admendment
He does mention that in the actual episode.
Aren’t the work programs only in government run state prisons? Though one of the main beefs inmates have with the private facilities is the lack of work programs, education, and other opportunities for betterment. Most inmates would rather have a job then be in their cell all day. Anything that gets them out of a cell is a privilege that needs to be earned by good behaviour. At least in a work program for a few hours a day you can get some sense of a normal life, and opportunities to acquire/move contraband.
Alex3745 I think it’s messed up that they got to that point where they believe slave labour is good thing. Shows how degrading prisons are if you ask me.
Watch the whole video and you would know that he does
I watched this full episode when I was younger and I started sobbing. Still remember it, good job Adam.
I watched a buncha these and I have to say: America sounds delightfully dystopianish!

Please do a segment on how GMO's have not been proven to be bad by any scientific study.
Diego Sanchez you're doing me laugh
oh i misread your comment, i thought you were saying that gmo's have been found to be bad. sorry.
no really, there is no food crisis, it's a myth. the real crisis is food mismanagement. McDonald in the US alone wastes enough food every day to feed most of Africa.
Gotin Fuklio that would require a corporation somewhere to make cheap, low cost gmo. with food industry being one of most shady, I don't really see happening.
There's no food crisis... in developed nations. In underdeveloped nations there is still a drastic need for increased food production to combat deficiency diseases.

It's called delay
It depend. It's the lobbying and bad contract between the state and the prison that is the problem not the privatisation itself. Both private and public service can be badly manage.
It's almost as if the internet is full of trolls and/or bots that automatically dislike a video because it or it's channel doesn't suit their ideals.

Can you point me to a single aspect of American society that isn't broken? Seriously your country is run by companies...
The Bill of Rights, and the Constitution
Jorge Daniel Hamilton
Why are there so many people looking to point to one or two flawed aspects of America and pretend that the entire country is broken?
Every country on this Earth has its share of problems--Chinese people routinely run over victims of car accidents because it's more expensive to do the right thing than it is to outright murder them, North Korea is horrid place under the tyrannical rule of a borderline psychopathic despot, and don't even get me started on the problems within third world countries like the actual rape culture in some middle-eastern countries or the caste system of India.
American society is not broken, human beings are just imperfect. Some of us are greedy, some of us don't care about the well-being of others, and some of us are downright evil. These are not qualities that are unique to American society.
I apologize for the tangent, but it's aggravating to see this type of comment anytime something stupid happens in America.
***** Same could be said to the First Pass to Post system in general...
Didn´t the constitution include the 3/5:s thing? That's a bit messed up. Also you don't really follow the constitution or bill of rights. Like at all.
Can we all stop for a moment and acknowledge the woman guard actress in the series? Seriously she plays so well.

John Oliver's show should never be mistaken for being thoughtful and informed
Vincent Bokan It's exactly that, and it's funny.
Don't mind Vincent, he's just your bog standard conservative angry that facts contradict his opinions.
John Oliver is one of the most biased ways to get your information.
Or maybe everything isn't black and white? You don't have to be a republican to think John Oliver is an asshole.
Not that shocking tbh. I'm pretty sure privately owned insane asylums operated the same way back then; the more people kept in the facility, the more federal money it received.

The editing in this video 👌
well i believe it is a tv program, so i guess you can expect hollywood to edit right.
you do realize not all tv shows are based in hollywood
Lordious ayyy :p
Backwards i know, but he said himself holywood multiple times in multiple shows. In some after show spots he even says "this is adam live from the adam ruins everything set la" i believe. I am not certain but that is why i said hollywood.
nick willemsen you're correct because it says it on the tv show and it's based near LA
Adam can ruin all he wants. No one's going to do anything about it.
Less "no one's going to do anything" and more "the people with the influence to actually do anything don't want to because they're in on it." There are a whole bunch of people who want to see these things fixed but we don't have the power of influence to make the changes, and most of us have already come to the realization that those who can aren't listening to us.
Voting doesn't work, that system is broken. Protesting doesn't work, no one listens to protestors. Writing to our elected officials doesn't work because they're profiting from the broken systems and don't want to give up that paycheck. Becoming politicians doesn't work because the entry bar is set way too high for most people, again, because the crooked politicians gamed the system so that they continue to profit from broken systems. The only recourse left is to make online videos and comments to show we all agree and collectively gripe about our inability to do anything about it.
Dargonhuman
If I were president, I'd constantly do polls.
Majority rules, not rich men rule.
What if I'm rich and pay a lot of people to agree with me? How do you know the people or system counting the votes is not corrupted/hacked?
Better to gripe then be silenced for the truth
No don't just make videos. Make money. Make millions and billions and then try and change the system from within with your money. Try harder or die trying. This is what I realised sometime ago as well, and since then I have vowed to make money like crazy. $$$$ talks.
I agree with most points, but if some dude killed 15 people, I think solitary confinement is all right
It means PERMANENT brain damage and will make you insane. Also guards just put whoever they want in there.
It doesn't punnish peoples, it's destroy them, they're basically creating deadly machines that have no morals going around and do whatever they wants, not to mention it's used against enemy's soldiers (you have to kill to survive in wars bruh), they get locked up and return to their family not being the person they was before
@@kharkovluzhin8333Extreme example but if you kill 15 people maybe you are already screwed up?
@@isaacsibrian2503 well if i get forced to do that then no
@@isaacsibrian2503 Guess what, there's treatment possibilities even for the worst criminals and even if you couldn't, do you *really* want to make it worse?
it doesn't care if its a non violent low level money scheme it will hit you for decades. It doesn't care about the defendants family. It only sees dollar signs. Its super messed up. I have lot of trauma because of them
that prison food looks much better than the food at my school.
It’s not! Believe me, I’ve would taken a school lunch over the prison food. Why do you think so many people that go to prison came back out thin and fit the food is disgusting and to kill time, we just workout or beat each other senseless
It is better
Red Mary no
LOL
Kermit Donatello in canada we come out fat.
Another fun thing about our prison system is that in addition to failing as a "correctional" facility (acting more like a storage facility) it's also America's largest mental health system. A lot of people end up in and out of jail because of a mental disability or disorder that they aren't receiving proper help for.
I love the acting from the prison guard and the prisoner doing Adam’s job for totally different reasons but I just know that both are great.
This is the best segment they ever did
"Adam you got me into this your gonna get me out!""sure in the mean time...DONT DROP THE SOAP"
wouldn't mind that happening actually. shameful for tv ratings ;(
looooool rape is hilarious!!!
It's not actually possible to commit rape without a penis so, can't happen :) Just some nice gentle fisting :)
littletyke76 it very much is possible to rape without a penis, any foreign object penetration is considered rape, not just penile
Not so much that, as it's commonly understood to happen, and is considered "part of the punishment."
Oh, you were schmokin' weed, were ya? Have fun in the pen. Remember, don't drop the soap.
I hate CollegeHumor but I love Adam Ruins Everything
The opposite for me
He saved CollegeHumor!
Uhhh... naa.... he's just showing that CH is going downhill
Judge: why do you really want to go to prison
Poor guy: free food, free shelter, people shifting and playing there pianos for free entertainment
Love the obvious concentration of private prisons at 2:45. We're just not gonna' talk about how they're almost all south of the Mason-Dixon?
Private prisons are built by being contracted by state or local governments. Those states like building them more.
@@Ubercentraltf2 Yes, water's wet, sky's blue, and Southern states imprison lots of people in prisons they build. I guess like "like building them" so much they just can't stop? LOL Or do you think people in the South have a particular penchant for criminality?
@@WormholeGarden helps explain why so many prisoners are black (~40% of the us prison population)
racist white southerners. i dont need to explain them
Ohhhh.....so that's why you guys have so many inmates....
It is not the only reason.
I mean it kinda is..
Also the drug issues which could be solved if we legalized them all.
TheDesertLad no, THAT IS NOT THE SOLUTION, do you really want to legalize cocaine, heroin, we already have a problem with legal opioids, do you really want to make the problem even bigger
luis Rodriguez
We have a problem with legal opioids because they are patented and the drug companies pay doctors to get people hooked on them.
4:04 how Adam acts at a strip club.
Adam should ruin elderly homes they treat our prisoner's better than our elderly
I doubt they treat criminals better then elderly people
@@malikmack3589 Eeeeeh, about that...
Well they treat our rich prisoners better than our poor elderly but that's
about it
How about not sending your parents there and taking care of them in their weakness as they took care of you when you were weak and helpless...
Is it me or does the girl in the beginning at 0:17 look like Black Cindy from OITNB? As a matter of fact, I'm getting OITNB vivbs from this video!
Could it be that every American System evem there lenght mesering system is fucked up
DeCube almost as fucked up as your grammar
OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH
oooooooooooooooooooooh
DeCube English please?
There is a difference between grammar and spelling.
3:45 in the background
what?
NotVeryAmusing they are pretending to give food
Fake Food...lol
Dominykas Ciunys oh lol, thanks
.vex[E] LOL
Anyone else in prison and showing this to the guards to try to get out?
3:40 Look in the background, they’re serving up air 💀💀💀💀
Shit, College Humor makes me lose faith in hummanity
Toxic Badget900 shit u right
Actually it gives me faith because only western civilization lets you critique it without revolutions or book burning, just try that in china overandover
Dude humanity has shit to it, there will always be bad people but if you lose faith in everyone you forget about the good that exists too. There are firefighters who risk thier lives just to save little children's cats, cops who give turkies to the lesser income households, people who donate organs and even bone marrow to complete stranger to give them another day at life, and charities who work has stop children from dying in thrid world countries.
The world has issues but if you let one thing judge the entire world you miss out on the chance to see the good it can do too. We focus on the bad to fix it but remember we focus on it to make it into a good too, and we wouldn't of focus on it if did not come from someone caring about how it affects people.
Why did you bother to have faith in the first place?
Graum tru
4:16 lmao the black girl looks so pissed
Red Shell thats kinda racist
Acidspl4sh What if he/she said it was a white girl I bet you wouldn't say that was racist
The shocking thing is how many people ignore this, the information has been available sense the mid 1980s.
They neglect to mention that these for-profit prisons also give inmates a starvation diet so that they have to buy extra food from the commisary at super-inflated prices ($4 for a pack of ramen that costs 20c in the grocery). They also make a huge amount on phone calls, soap and other items. You will need to beg your family on the outside for money just to live like a human being. Everything is calculated to wring as much money out of you as possible.
This is clearly wrong. We should just stop going to prison!
Kilobytes crimes rates drop to 0%
Prosecutor gives you plea bargain, plead guilty and you get 2 years. Go to court and you face 20 years. BTW prosectors are friends with the judge.
How is a country this f@#$ed up.
Oblithian Blame the citizens who allowed this to happen. Election after election, people pick the same type of candidates and expect things to change. Two big issues are people vote uninformed and most don't vote at all.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Capitalism
Well compared to most countries (including undeveloped/developing), it's pretty darned ok.
Campaign financing. America loves capitalism so much that even the government is for sale. And if you can't afford the buy in, no one's got your back. Should probably fix that.
That is literally the music from the Sims 3 at the beginning.
0usaki omg it is
I LOVE SIMS 3
They've been using a lot of Sims 3 music, I've heard, in the series.
Where?
TV shows love using Sims 3 music, maybe it's creative commons?
3:40 what are they doing in the background, eating air for lunch? Lmao
the world needs more "Adam Ruins Everything" episode
Are there people who still aren't aware of this? I thought this was common knowledge.
There are a shitload of people who still don't believe this [even if it has cited sources], and all the other stuff this show|series has debunked.
Most people know there are private prisons, but don't blame them if they don't know the private prison is making money. Who is supposed to tell them? I guess that's where Adam ruins everything comes in. "Exposing" the things you didn't know could be exposed.
2:20 Missed the chance to make a big smoke joke
LynxFly ikr lol
We say we have freedom here? Then why do we imprison more of our citizens than any other developed nation?? WE HAVE TO STOP THIS
When I learn more from Adam ruins everything then school
