I am in shock. The man Riki in the beginning of this program saved my life. I was 17 at the time. I lied about my age because I was told that the juvenile section was crazy. Hectic.muderous. youngsters comming off heavy drugs with raging hormones. I was there for 3 months. 1995.Suncity. Oh Jesus you got no clue about that nightmare place. I never got any visits. Rikki robbed me and then helped me. He has his own code. A giant amongst men. I say no more. But Ill never forget. And ive never been back.amen
It's true when they say never judge a book by its cover he does not look like the kind that would protect someone, I'm glad you never went back to that place ❤
Thank you, Lerato, for your comment. Over the years, I've thought about him often. I very seriously doubt that he gave me a second thought when I walked out the door of that hell hole and into my life. And yet it had such a profound effect on me. I also pause to reflect that the only reason I met him is because I had chosen the wrong path. I must also add this in conclusion. What happened to me was in itself inevitable. I unfortunately had no good role model in life. My father, being a very complicated man, didn't teach me the cold truths and values of life. I had to learn them the hard way. Luckily for me, it did not make me bitter and resentful. Ricky would be one of a few good men who came into my life and made a huge difference. I believe they were sent by the Almighty and is the main reason for my conviction of belief in the divine. When I look back now, almost an old man myself, I see the hand of God working his ways in my life. When I am finally one day in God's presence, I will first ask him for forgiveness for doubting him, and then I will thank him. Afterwards, I will glorify his name. Amen.
Nico lotter you such a gem and i love ur perception of everything god blessss u how are things now im the prisom is nico lotter still working there appreiciate this video well done
That smile is a facade. Those are the 28's. They're the ones who rape and enslave the new prisoners who are non-gang members. He's probably killed more.
The only thing most of this man needed was love and guidance. I wish them all best. And I want to say to them I love them all regardless of the crimes they've committed. And God loves you
I love where the social worker lady says " The State spends too much money on the custody of the prisoner and not on the rehabilitation of the prisioner " ..🤞🏾
Been there. An experience I'll treasure forever. I know it sounds strange. I grew up an only child. No structure, discipline. Have you ever heard 2000 women sing at once? I found God there fast.
lol, you dont know anything about the choices they have. how come that 90% of the crime in cape town comes from the poor area and not from the city area? this time you can not blame on their black colour. THE DIFFERENCE IS SOME EXTREME POVERTY WILL MAKE YOU HAVE TO COMMIT CRIMES. How can i know without knowing you IRL that im 100% sure you are not grown up in extreme poverty? its because you do not understand it and neither have tried to understand them. theese are our brothers and you and me could be the ones in their place thats something you have to understand.
Now finally a good question. When you are in hell. You can't die. South Africa is like living in hell. Life is tough. When you are poor your world is tiny. You continue suffering in your tiny existence. If you lucky you die.
I love the black lady the one stole car parts shes an inspiration too me and shes so strong an i love how open minded she is admitting she herself xan be troublesome
with all the learning / skills that inmates are offered how does it going to help them while still having a criminal record who would hire them cos one thing for sure most companies dont tolerate when it comes to criminal record
If the person is trained in vocational or technical skills they can start their own business to provide those services.NICRO can also assist in this regard. Another issue is that most employers do not find out whether their employees or prospective employees have criminal records.If one does not disclose , they don’t know and don’t follow up. If you are found out however, you will lose your job and will be fined/detained for a period.
That gay guy said he murdered someone so easily no remorse nothing . I died when that guy cried whilst he was dragged into a cell Oh wait sun city prisoners have a TV? Wow
The place where they rehabilitate prisoners that have been sentences is porous. They denied them regular exercises, keeping them indoors for more than 20 hours in a day is not ideal.
you had the time before u commit the crime to be a human been now take it as a man and start working on yourself not to do what u have done atherwise u wouldnt be there complaining
Yinni, Criminals complaining, seriously. maybe Don't catch on k@k in the first place. So prisoners should get all the wonderful extra murals we struggle to get our schools to do, for free. It's the "I committed just murder" for me man, so our tax money should pay for him to sleep comfortably, I'm sorry, but I honestly have no compassion for adults who make horrible Choices.
True. There are many innocent people who would love to learn aĺl skiĺls offered free in prisons, whereas expensive for the innocents outside. Rehab in a sick, divided and poor society as SA is required by all

I don't know if prison is solution it works to others and to others it corrupt them worse and some people they are framed they did do anything I blame all this to apartheid government and corruption of leading partie ANC!
Yes we aware rhey commit crimes and im not sayin what they did is right but at least give them councelling anger management and may have courses an companys that ca sponsor them or take them on a contracr ro booth their self esteems and they clever
One personer say they asked for young boy to do what? Please 🙏 find work for them to do That is why they start gangs to rebel against prison law .let them fix government buildings
Yip, 1997 3 years into the "new south africa" and the wheels are already falling off, I was working there back then, Mandela's days as president, they took away the military structure and made the ranking system as grades 1, 2 or 3, like school children or like fruit, and if it was bad back then what do you think its like now 2023 with SA a failed state and way below junk status????????? I still know people that work there from back then, they said to me there are no words to describe the complete and utter mess it is now, 1997 was a picnic to what it is now.

I went thru a similar situation, saved by the squirrel master or I would likely be wearing a permanent adult diaper today. Mash'Allah
Thank you Kevin for the well filmed and informative video.
Finally some one shines a light on SA prisons
Oh no, no no. Search for Ross Kemps documentary.....deary me. Tut tut.😏
9:21 that "no exercise" was like a choir. Everyone was in harmony
😂 you got that right
😂😂😂
Nico lotter you such a gem and i love ur perception of everything god blessss u how are things now im the prisom is nico lotter still working there appreiciate this video well done
an informative documentary, thank you Kevin Harris
And she said "I committed a crime murder just murder" with so much happiness in d face😶
Shocking 😳

ASTHONICHING REMARK " I COMMITTED MURDER YEAH ONLY MURDER " no big deal for him/her. What a waste of life God forbid.
Killing people is like, killing flies..in this generation. Shocking Indeed,I wonder how does one sleep'after taking someones life.
My reaction exactly, the "just murder" part got me
The extreme reality of a bad situation and no solution to resolve this issue.
Stumbled across this, thanks to loadshedding!
Crime in SA is out of control, the prison system is worsening the situation.
this was in 1997 3 years after the first elections. ANC was dumped in a pit and their lack of competence made it worst.
Sorry for the members who didn't do anything
I recommend the video to go viral PEACE
The only thing most of this man needed was love and guidance. I wish them all best. And I want to say to them I love them all regardless of the crimes they've committed. And God loves you

How long were u there?

Amen brother, Jesus is King
I know some are wrongly accused of crime but please people try by all means to stay out of crime since it doesn't pay.
And so since 1997 things have just down spiraled...
"Kentucky " i knw i going to hell for laughing but Eishh!LoL
Yaa this life teached me a lot in life
you had a choice before you end up there they didnt invite you to be there so take the punch

guys I'm standing at a balcony right #Freedom for those who do good
Bro the difference between the male and female prisons is crazy
I hope those who claim to hold a high moral ground in society can see y these people come back mentally unstable and then committing crimes again.
Wat does th pres do about ths

Nothing
Nothing Has Changed - Maybe Worst..

Really what happened to people whose there for nothing??
You put yourself there,suck it up Skelm

1 of the youngsters in Worcester prison looks just like my late brother in law
Yhoo so many men in prison. Really sad maarn
I'm sitting here. Think I'll be there in the next few months. Life is something else
Just an idea, throwing it out there, don't commit crime 🤷♂️.
It's a crime to be black
@@wandagordon1319 Really? Under ANC black rule for 27 years and still complaing..... eish, get a life.....
Imagine if you had no money for food or shelter .. nbd, just roam about n starve right ?
Ooo that sounds easy!
you had the time before u commit the crime to be a human been now take it as a man and start working on yourself not to do what u have done atherwise u wouldnt be there complaining
R5 had a value back then
They should be learning trades growing veggies . Should of given Gayton the ministry with his knowlege and his experience

Before meth and heroine hit the prison system
This is madness. A hell hole.
My cousin is there
Your cousin Probably taking it in the biscuit!!
They should have all thought about these conditions before they committed crimes
That bad so many people looking for jobs why there's a Short of Police
i think a person must have thought about prison life before committing a crime
Highly unlikely
Ahh mara ukentucky naye
