When I was 18, still in highschool, the public defender told me when I needed to be in court. I showed up on that day and was arrested for failure to appear.
She told me the wrong day.
I was in jail 3 and a half months because of this ...error.
You're not the only one I've heard that happening too. Probably did it intentionally.
Yeah our justice system is f*cked sorry you had to go through that man
The USA is just ridiculous
Yh the system in the USA is pretty messed up sorry for what happened
Two of my old buddies showed up at my trailer one night. When my wife asked them why they broke out of prison, they explained "We felt the institution no longer had anything to offer us."
Raising Arizona!
Probably the saddest thing is that you have so many innocent people in jail, and even once you can prove they're innocent, it's a long shot to get them out and takes forever.
I know right. And then they also coerce some innocent people into pleading guilty by trying to cut some sort of deal to be let out quicker. Otherwise even when you’re totally innocent, while awaiting trial your stuck behind bars. A few months later (if you’re lucky) you’ll get your day in court. By then you’ve lost your job, your apartment, your car... it’s sickening
@@SeanTrn - The only way to change it is for Congress to change the laws, and then give people a path to getting a job once they get out too and hopefully have their record sealed. But sadly Congress spends most of its time bickering and mostly just care about themselves.
I live in scotland and I was arrested at 22, I'm five foot four and was seven stone at the time, and was being accused of walking up to a six foot five polish guy and beating him up for no reason. The evidence: I had walked past where the guy was assaulted earlier on in the day and had dropped the keycard to the homeless hostel I was staying in at the time. I was given a fully commital (the scottish term for a 140 day remand) my lawyer kept trying to convince me to plead guilty, bearing in mind that at the petition court in scotland you're facing up to five years but I refused. When the trial date came and when I was led up from the cells in handcuffs, the victim looked at me and his face looked really confused. Three times he asked if he was in the right courtroom and was told he was. When he was asked if he could see the person who attacked him and he looked around the courtroom then said "no" he was asked "what about the defendant in the dock? To which he replied "I said a man attack me, this is little girl you have on trial" I burst out laughing and couldn't stop so I was taken back down to the cells. An hour later I was released with the charges dropped. I know I was laughing but I actually missed my dads funeral and being on remand had caused me to be homeless. I got no compensation or even as much as an apology

The fact that most American prisoners end up back in jail after getting out just shows how bad of a system it is.
Ikr. Aren't prisons made to either punish people, or help rehabilitate prisoners? The fact that they come back proves that the rehabilitation part is totally useless.
Right. I was lucky and never went back after I got out. I did 6 years in prison

What's the point in giving 141,000 years & making her serve 8? Why didn't they just give her 8?
She probably won her appeal
Maybe it's like a cultural thing. She serves 8 but when she dies her soul cant be reborn for the rest of her sentence. I think that they think about it that way.
@@BirbsBeLikeOvO i know the answer know. She was given many thousands of sentences, all run concurrent to the biggest sentence, which was 8 years.. so she didn't get 141,000 years at all, she got 8, just they equated to 141,000.
She *D E D*
That's what said person for got for charge all together. They just add the time up for each crime then combine
3:24 In Mexico, if a prisoner escapes without damaging property nor harming anyone, the time out counts toward the sentence. And the prisoner is not charged with escape. I learned this when I was in jail in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico.
Um what for. did you rob a store?
@@BirbsBeLikeOvO I was in jail in Mexico for possession of gun, which I was going to sell.
I didn't "rob" anything. Where did you get that?
Idk it seemed like a minor punishment so I was like store. Like forgetting to check something out or a kid put something is the cart last minute and it was an accident. If it was jewelry you might still be in jail. So I was like store. Were you on a hunting trip or something?
Same thing in Germany. I think its because wanting freedom is not a crime and they basically failed their job.

If I was a lawmaker in the US I would make this a law: to the persecution Police and Judges ! If you put away a person who is latter find innocent of the crime , the people Who is responsible for said person to lose his/her freedom will have to do an equal amount of time ! They would have to be very careful not to sentence an innocent person or else.....

Fact is we have a prison for profit system here. That's why we have such a large incarceration percentage. It pays to keep people locked up.
Not really. But it's not politically correct to talk about who does most crimes and who gets locked up.
no really its is true that prison profit off of inmates not to metion they get counted as part off that town so the town gets money also a small town where i am from has a huge prison there and im not sure how much they get just cause there town is double the size cause of the prison but census money and other ways for that rich littel town to profit and yes in most jails /prison do profit off of inmates prison is big bussniss not all but most
@@jonathanmclean269 yeah, I worked with a guy who was in jail but on work release and he had to pay a flat rate daily for the privilege of working
After all was said and done I think he ended up making something like a dollar 13 an hour
Where I'm from in Ohio the county jail also serves as an ICE detention center and they get paid $250 per day for each immigrant that they house there, and $75 a day for regular inmates. It's messed up and needs to change.
It's painful and interesting at the same time to hear the way people suffer to unethical inhumane treatment
I am with you. Can you imagine going to jail for opening a hair salon, and worse, getting a body cavity search, mug shot, fingerprinted, and police record that will cost time and money to get it expunged?
why is this true

You can make 50 insane facts about the Mazza prison in Syria alone.
Or how about making a video about the Abu Ghuraib prison during the the Saddam Hussein era & post Saddam era.
I see a lot of great videos you make about prisons, especially the ones in the US. This makes sense since US imprisons the most people and it's very relevant. However, if you are looking at crazy prison facts globally and throughout the history, you should definitely mention the Gulag system of the USSR. By far, it was one of the most brutal and inhumane prisons systems of the world - I read three books of Archipelago Gugal which covered all the insane facts happening in the prison and here are some facts I learned:
-At times, prisoners could be sent to a camp that wasn't even built. They would unload the train in the middle of cold Siberian forest and inmates would have built the camps for themselves.
-In one of the coldest regions of the world, prisoners could be build dams, railroads or just chop wood for more than 12 hours a day without gloves, coats, sometimes shoes. Needless to say, people who did this kind of labor, which was majority of the sentenced, died very fast and never got out of the camps.
-No trials were ever conducted to most of the prisoners. Most of them were engineers, doctors, intellectuals, and just random people who would get imprisoned in the middle of the night. Some estimate that close to 20% of St. Petersburgh has been sentenced to labor camps.
-Some solitary confinement could have water up to the stomach and the person was supposed to spend 2 weeks in there.
All of this was done to build the infrastructure of the USSR...the infrastructure that proved to be completely unused...like the currently underused trans-siberian railroad, the "Belomor" canal that doesn't see any ships coming through it and so on. Definetely something that people don't mention as often.
As someone who lives in Oklahoma, yes they will absolutely find any reason to put you in jail and rack up more charges. My specific county is avoided by most because of how often traffic stops for 1mph over speeding can turn into a sentence.
As a person who has never been in jail, I can agree to these facts.

One thing: in The Netherlands, the crime rate isn’t necessarily low, it is just that prisons closed because judges are very more likely to sentence a person to community service. Trust me, I live in the Netherlands, and a growing number of people would like the prisons to be reopened.
Fact 51 don't be a prisoner.
I love your channel keep up the great stuff
Thank you for opening this list with such mindful and important facts.
I miss the fact that it is legal in Germany to break out of Prison. Because of the Fundermental Law. The Prisoner wants to get his Freedom so its legal to break out of Prison 😂 but every other crime you commit while you're breaking out will be counted. Sorry if my English is Not the Best, its 2 am for me 😅
Edit: I found this, Google is explaining better than i Do 😂
In some countries such as Mexico,Germany and Austria Prison escape is not punishable by law . In Mexico, Germany, Austria the law recognizes that it is basic human nature to escape and hence the act of escaping itself is not a crime, although you may be punished for any other crime that you commit during your escape.
So a guy could just keep escaping and not get in trouble lol
Well, yes and no. That just means that you can’t have any time added to your sentence just for escaping in and of itself, but you still have to serve the remainder of the original sentence if you are caught again.
And, any and all other crimes you might commit during the escape still count. Fighting prison officers on your way out, for example, is still assault against officer, which can and will be added to your sentence.
Very interesting! Thank you for the posting of this information. Even as a kid, I recall thinking punishment for escaping was a bit inappropriate. As mentioned, escape would cross all our minds as an option to ponder while starting out a sentence. Additionally, the institution should receive reprimand as well. Their lack of complete security facilitates the escape to begin with. Overall, an unfair punishment levied upon any rational member of society!
Thanks for the insight!
5 min. in and my heart is breaking! and theres more...
So close to 8 mil! Great video idea!
Congrats on 8 mill subs.
Prison mike doing some time at "the clink"
I retired from the local school district in Coachella California in 2019 October 15th. When going to a conference one time I spoke with the high school principal who was driving us. He just gotten back from some leadership program where he learned that tests given to students in third and fourth grade set the bar for future prison populations. The percentage of students that cannot read by 3rd and 4th grade is the same percentage of the population that they will plan and build prisons for.

Ok but the funniest thing to me about Moondine Joe is that the wardens gave him the tools to break out, as the prison was still under construction being built by the prisoners when he escapes. He just piled up the mined rock high enough for them to not be able to see him and off he went. You can still see the hole in if you go to the Freo Prison.

We have WAY too many people in prison for a "free" country! 😟 We need MAJOR reforms! I recommend legalizing and taxing all drugs, people own their own bodies, and should be able to ingest whatever they want in the privacy of their own homes. Also, non-violent property crimes such as theft or vandalism should be dealt with through community service, work, and education programs where offenders can work to reimburse the victims of said crimes. This would reduce recidivism and lower insurance premiums for all of us, because the thief or vandal would be responsible for making the victim whole rather than insurance companies! Incarceration should be limited to criminals who pose a realistic threat to other people...
I agree
The same people wanting longer harsher sentences are the same ones that cant stay indoors for a month to quarentine
I found this video very entertaining and them images... Refreshing.

Gotta make sure that im not a polar bear if I ever go to prison in canada
I do remember in 2012 when I was doing 3 months in the county jail for a DUI and a couple of trespass charges when I was homeless. Haven't ever been to the state prison, I guess none of my charges were severe enough to qualitfy for time in prison. At least for Florida, your sentence would have to be a year and a day or more to qualify for state prison.

Here's another little known fact; the Harrison County Jail in Harrison County (Biloxi, Gulfport area) Mississippi was abandoned by the guards during Hurricane Katrina leaving the inmates to fend for themselves with no electricity or food and they weren't checked in on for at least 48 while the water rose around them, rising even in their cells while they were locked away in them and couldn't get out, even to the common area.
