A criminology prof once told me all of this is due to the US states severely cutting funds to prisons in the 1980s, which lead to so little staff, so little food, and so few programs for prisoners that the prisoners (a) had much less to occupy them (fewer ed programs, hobby programs, etc), (b) had much less oversight by guards and social workers, and (c) had less food (making prisoners need to hustle for enough food). So as a result the gangs took over the prisons and made it what it is today. Penny wise, pound foolish.
Prison reform should be a high priority for all people, since so many people would be helped by it (everyone would benefit, really). Many Americans, unfortunately, have little empathy for prisoners, and feel that punishment (rather than development and growth) is the purpose of prison. I wish we had the will as a society to make the changes you are passionate about.
Sean Walsh My experience of prison is along the lines of a recent article that I read by an ex prison governor (posted somewhere on twitter) 90% are candidates for rehabilitation but the other 10% are right where they're supposed to be.
Hi sean I made a comment on another channel about the loss of human rights for prisoners on solitary confinement/ no window. etc I only had bad Sh**t from Americans who as you remarked have a very different view on Human rights. I understand they don't represent everyone but the only comments which came thick and fast was that they had zero interest in the Universal Declaration of human Rights and prisoners. I confirm everything you wrote. So much for democracy
As a youthful offender my nephew went to Florida's gladiator program he had been convicted on drug charges. It was a small amount, personal stash. The experience helped him turn into a full blown psychopath. It destroyed him.
Don Lalo: Good decision: Akin to a stock trading teacher, his success is mentoring, not battling the big boys. You can teach the realities of life: If you apply dignity, decorum, and etiquette, trained from the heartland of the royal vicinity and hours with my nose glued to a spiritual book, *does not guarantee the attack dogs in regular society will respect you.* Just like the Verizon CWA 1109's call center union in Brooklyn, they take advantage and employ their discriminatory psychological and verbal "shot calls" in the call center in order to drag down their own brother's reputation. This is a form of a gangland situation: destroying lives and families livelihoods. This is how I perceive this organization, just as destructive as an adversary. Teach the youth that they must do something. Stand up -- or bend over!
There are some prisons going back a couple decades or more where being neutral and living wasn’t much of an option, unless someone proves to be a real badass.
@Jordan Woodhouse you best have some proof backing up what you are talking about or you will find yourself with some people wanting to deal with your ass. Just saying.
I can imagine prison is extra hard for rational thoughtful people such as shaun, since everything from racial segregation to how guards treat inmates is so barbaric and irrational, must have been a shock to the system
Alex B It is. I only got out a year ago and sadly most of the people on my wing would've struggled to hit 70 on an IQ test. I felt very much out of place. Most were just racist and very ignorant scumbags.
Iamyouonlydifferent I have a friend that was in prison in Arizona and has done our UK prisons and he reckons they're not that different. He reckons that much of what we hear is myth and legend. It's all subjective. He was the tattooist for all the gangs there. I've never seen prison tats as good as what he can do. Maybe because of that he had an easier time if it. Who knows.
Iamyouonlydifferent you're implying that our prisons aren't full of druggies, terrorists and murderers. Our way of life is different but our prisons are still riddled with scumbags. Though our prisons are worse, Imams (not prisoners, completely free and can leave whenever they wish) commonly lookup new inmates so that they can relay any information to prisoners such as "Islamophobia" or not being Muslim. If you're in our prisons there's only four ways to survive, convert to Islam and become a bitch, become the lowest bitch and be the beating bag/scapegoat, be widely popular among the prisoners (online comedians etc) or fight and spend the entire time in solidarity confinement. Sources: I know 1 ex prison guard and 3 ex inmates. Before anyone mentions it, no I'm not hating on Islam but our prisons may as well be Middle Eastern since Islam *is* what makes our prisons dangerous.
Definitely gotta listen to more about your story just found your page and listened to the Michael Thompson videos starting others now I will end up going through your entire page I listen while at work makes my day much more interesting
Go in by chance and circumstance ...leave by choices ..if you're lucky . I know people that have been in and out most of their lives and they don't know why . Great story Shaun you're a natural
I was at Santa Rita at the same time and my partner Stan gave me a little schooling on a similar deal. I got a new cellie that was in for having sex with a 17 year old girl. So I told him to roll up, he ran the story to me. He was 24, she was 17 and it was consentual. Remember the classes they used to make those guys take? We were all straight up criminal's,vin for robbery and attempted murder, we took pleasure in running chomo's and rapists off but this dude truly loved this girl, she couldn't visit but they were together. So we gave him a pass. I had a 70 number, Stan a 52. I owed Colorado 16 so did my flat five for car theft and paroled up there to finish my time. Been out for 23 years now. Arizona taught me a lot, when I drove up to Colorado I was ready to step up and cruise through that. Your stories are interesting.
I was taken to lock up. Hours later became best buds with the nicest, biggest, fittest, strongest, toughest, trangender woman there. Not intentionally, perhaps instinctively. We just became fast friends. We still write! I'm strong as an ox and almost as smart, but...never again. Hell no.
I am glad I live in Norway. I got 3 months... fucking vacation man! Hot food, cinema every night, TV on the cell, private shower on the cell and we were just playing poker all day. I kinda miss prison
Nah I was defending a friend of mine that got beaten up. I knocked him out and stumped my cigarette on him.. I did not know I was gonna get "Torture" on my record for doing that. otherwise I would just knock him out. lol
This was a particularly good one Shaun. Thanks for putting yourself out there. It takes a whole different kind of balls. May you never get caught up again. Oh...and...No Wild Man No Care! Full respect
Hi Shaun. I am really enjoying your videos. Tons of great information. I appreciate your ability to allow anyone to be able to envision your stories. -John
Shaun, thank you for your vlogs. They are so provocative. I literally hold my breath in some of your stories. I am so glad you made it out of the prison system. Sheriff Joe Arpaio was famous for his treatment to prisoners. Did you live in tent city?
Jesus, I have to subscribe now. That story was crazy. Just got done watching the movie Shot Caller and thought about looking up what RUclips had on the subject. Came across your channel. You tell really good stories.
My cellmate just so happened to be the shot caller who tells the shot callers which shots to call. He gave me free gold doubloons and Godiva chocolates. The guards even messed up during roll call and accidentally had a 70-inch Plasma screen smart-TV installed in my cell, lol. All it cost was my butt and my mental Health
Hey Shaun! Joey from Tucson here! I always wondered how you managed to escape being extorted into some kind of drug entanglement whilst being incarcerated. That New Times article was some sensationalized shit. I remember it being dropped into my lap and some people who never knew you but now fancied themselves your competition telling me I had to run for my money. It never worked. I’m glad I’m out of the life and have been helping felons get into the allied working force, getting their fingerprint clearance cards and rights restored. I often wish you could get cleared and come and at least visit the United States. These videos are great. Please keep writing and talking to the youth. You’ll be hearing from me soon. Cheees from Tucson!
Hi Shaun , I am hooked on listening to your prison time. Scary as hell, which leads me to my question. Have you ever ran into a prisoner who you were convinced was innocent of the crime he was accused of committing? Listening to your stories I actually had a nightmare about being falsely accused but found guilty.. LOL. Damn I feel great when I wake up realizing all I have to do is go to work and be cool. Be cool man,.. Oh yeah I will say our country being the U.S.'s attitude towards non violent criminals by putting them in with animals should be condemned by the world as a human right violation.. Damn, man you are lucky you come out alive or you did not become a violent animal like them.
Dude, this cholo def wasn't in prison. i know it for a fact, he riding all the way to the bank though with his bullshit... I see a gangster, i know gangsters, i know they real when they real. this fool playin'. just the only problem is, you ain' gona play long if shit gonna hit the fan, u know what i mean though. :D this shit ain't a joke out there in the streets. u fake rep, u get fucked up, bad...
Man I did a 10 piece and I seen a lot of $hit in the joint, and never do I want to experience that again! I saw so terrible things happen and was only glad that I wasn't the victim!!🤔😬🙏GOD BLESS YOU ALL and STAY SAFE!! SEEK CHRIST!!🙏
this vid was especially peng. been watching you for quite a few months now, i'm actually astonished you're only at 43k subs, your stories are absolute gold.
Great story! Everyone's experience is different. We were treated like Kings by the Guards and Gangs. We had good relationships w everyone. Zero nonsense was tolerated so if someone had a problem it was over immediately.
That's how you could tell that's not real AB. THERE IS NO WAY THEY WOULD TELL HIM THAT IF ANYTHING THAT WOULD TELL HIM MAKE SURE HE DOESN'T COME BACK BREATHING
It would be difficult to have to try and reason with a prison full of socio and psychopaths. I would rather work 9 - 5 and keep me nose clean (if you know what I mean).
Socio and Psychopaths never try to show their true colours, they act to get on people’s good sides and use them. The guys Atwood is describing are overtly confrontational.
A shot caller doesn't ask, he TELLS you. You do it, drop the shank or whatever you bashed his face in with. Something goes wrong you keep your mouth shut. The alternative is worse than execution. They want to patch you in, you get patched in. Obey the rules. Period.
Yeah, whew,..... I never filled out a phone list or visitors list. No visits, i told my family, just send letters. Helped me do my time too. Kept my head inside and not outside.
Looking back Shaun, given all that you know now, what would have been the best line to say to the two shot-callers to try getting out of the situation - not bring in drugs for them through your girlfriend? How would you handle it now? Thanks, I enjoy your channel btw
Gang Life is NOT FOR EVERYONE!. It takes a certain mentality. The ability to read body language. An also the ability to read between the lines of a conversation. Some are naturals. Others have to learn. If you have these qualities then my suggestion is use it to move up in normal society. Feed yourself or your family. Its a Gift. Not something to abuse. I had to learn the hard way. An do many years instead of being the Man for a company or whatever I wanted. Instead of being part of a Prison Gang. Im older now. An in retrospect I realize I fucked my own off. I still in good standing. But know all those years slid by. With nothing to show for it. Don't waste your time....
I spent 2 years in prison in Arizona at Saguaro Prison. I was moved there due to prison overcrowding in Hawaii. I got a five year sentence. I spent one year in jail in Honolulu until I was sentenced. Then they moved me to Halawa. (Pronounced Ha lava).I spent two years in Halawa. It's mostly Pacific Islanders. No Aryan Brotherhood. No black gangs. Very few white, very few blacks. Mostly Hawaiians and Samoans and other Pacific Islanders. I grew up on the Mainland of the United States. I heard a lot of stories about what prison would be like. Prison is a bit different in Hawaii. Even in Arizona I was locked up with Hawaiians.
What would have happened if you told your girlfriend to get drugs into the prison and the guards overheard? Your videos and talks are really interesting so thanks for sharing your stories.
Unless he was wrongly accused of course... happens all the time. Happened to someone I know... got 5 years, not sure how he survived because the one thing you can't be in prison is a rapist or chomo... you can be a rat before that. One guy got a lock in a sock and split a guys head open, because his wife was 16, even though in their state it was legal... didn't matter... people don't care.
@@dernvader6876 I was in a road rage at 42 yrs old stoped the guy he talked shit so I hit him once... cops came I have a past with violent crime all with grown men but since I was young. I always am well respected at 6'4 280 tattoos neck to feet and have had to put in work on real proven molesters and I attorney up and my charge going in was child cruelty great bodily injury possible death. Hit him once he was 17 and half with a beard. No one would believe me I fought off rape and didn't sleep till court hurt some young guys who were told to handle me. One for life. I went to court got my discovery showed the shot caller then beat hiss ass and bailed out. Got a simple battery. The rules are fucked up and people like the violence. It starts with the guards and trickles down. I saw a guy who got a duo with his kid in car get child endangerment and blew a .09 rolled by all his own car till he died. Something everyone may be guilty of after a dinner out. There use to be court when I was young and we weeded out your friends case. That's not our enemy. The dad who preys on his daughter. Him he is scum and gets handled. Everyone now watches to much you tube and havent been there so shouldn't give there opinion. Sorry about your friend I know how it feels to have all that hate and energy ruin you mentally and physically
I myself am a shot caller, and in fact, am the biggest, most important shot caller of all time. If I tell u to put in work and u dare say no, I will....nay...MUST tickle your belly for no more than 3 minutes. I am tuff and fair.
Shaun Attwood I actually enjoy the way you speak. Odd doesn’t in any way imply anything negative. I apologize if it came across that way. Love your content. Keep it coming. 👍
M Cee He used to end almost every sentence with a high note like Aussies are stereotypically known to do. Watch his first podcast with True Geordie you'll notice.
I don't have any real knowledge about these sorts of things.. But had run into your channel... I appriciate understanding about how other things work, better in these cases from someone else. Anyways about in the middle of your story all I could think is, thank you Jesus that you ended up ok Because you know, that may have not been your story to tell if things had worked out badly. Some Judao/ practicing Christian lady. ☺
What if you have an injury or illness and someone calls you a bitch or you're ordered to put in work? Say you have a malignant brain tumor or a kidney disorder and the doc says you will die if struck in the head or kidneys. Do you just have to take that risk?
I could see your channel growing much larger. Your story of going to prison while withdrawing on Benzos is crazy, must have been hell. I withdrew from clonopin once and it felt like the gates of HELL. for a year.
Thanks Shaun, I've read your trilogy of prison books and they're brilliant! You sound like you are of the same temperament (I'm not as bright as you though) as me btw, which has its own advantages. You're a fantastic author and have a magnetic personality judging by your videos. Keep up the great work. Peace.
Miguelon De Leon Yea hes mentioning way too many names.. even if it didn't affect him in any way, could've said these guys beat up so and so or killed so and so..
Prison seems like a great way to turn criminals into hardened gang members...
It's so fucked up.
Go to prison for a hate crime, come out an aryan brother... How the fuck is that supposed to help anyone?

That's why they do this to our youth they get paid for everyone in prison. Such a shame this world

Moral of the story: Stay out of jail.

Nah, true moral: America fix your prison system.
It's too late for that.
100%
And don’t spread your butt checks in the shower. Just thought I’d add that.
That "Shot Caller" film is so heartbreaking... selling your soul for some peace of mind while serving your time. That's tough.
I have listened to a couple of your books while I was working night shifts. Glad to see you're free now
I like watching these, it really makes me appreciate my freedom. My problems seem a lot smaller after immersing myself in these stories.
There goes my dream of becoming a gangster. Guess I'll still continue being an elementary teacher.

Man I think the point is that isn't cool man do out really wanna go to prison to see these cool guys.
Jamie Reynolds my god your slower than my sentence
Like your videos Shaun. Your a stand up guy. Hope all is well. Cheers from Canada.
There's a channel called Fresh Out. This guy talks about his time in federal prison.
I spent 2 years in prison in Arizona at Saguaro Prison. I was moved there due to prison overcrowding in Hawaii. I got a five year sentence. I spent one year in jail in Honolulu until I was sentenced. Then they moved me to Halawa. (Pronounced Ha lava).I spent two years in Halawa. It's mostly Pacific Islanders. No Aryan Brotherhood. No black gangs. Very few white, very few blacks. Mostly Hawaiians and Samoans and other Pacific Islanders. I grew up on the Mainland of the United States. I heard a lot of stories about what prison would be like. Prison is a bit different in Hawaii. Even in Arizona I was locked up with Hawaiians.
What would have happened if you told your girlfriend to get drugs into the prison and the guards overheard? Your videos and talks are really interesting so thanks for sharing your stories.
I would tell him that I’m collecting unemployment and don’t want to jeopardize my benefits.
Funny how both Shaun's stories ended up with something highly unusual happens so Shaun is off the hook . How does that work ?
People who make small mistakes like first time caught with drugs or some other shit like that, should be separated from murderers and rapists.
Someone should write a book “Navigating Jail & Prison” with chapters dividing each “Correctional System.”
Its crazy to how much depth you go into you.must of been shitting yourself at times 😂 fair play mate pure respect
Hey Shaun I just watched shot caller and it’s awesome
Thanks for sharing your stories
Need to go for a drink would love to have a beer n chat
Adam Aston a subscriber meet up would be mint the life experience shaun and wildman have is pretty amazing
Alex B be class wouldn’t it
Adam Aston absolutely mate
Would spend hours on end listening to the stories
Alex B be class wouldn’t it
The movie shot caller is the best prison movie ive ever seen. Better than American Me, colors any of the great classics
Have you ever accidentally broken a prison gang rule
I always raised my hand on smaller missions to not get picked on larger fatal missions.
Do you ever wake up at night imagining your back in that prison ?
What a feeling it would be to look around and realize you're outside in a regular home
For the last 3 nights 😞 i wanna kno what that means ughhh..
I have
I've been out 15 years
Every God damn night
To our youth, Listen to what this man is saying
1:36 when someone rolls up where do they go? they are cell mates, he can't leave can he?
u tell the officiers u arent safe in the pod and they put u in another pod or protective custody.
They throw you out on the street.
And this is why you trust no one.
As far as I'm concerned, them killing the chomo did American taxpayers a favor we wont have to pay to house a chomo
Daniel weirdo vato nope but you’ll defo be paying for his funeral
@@descartesthe4ourth605 unfortunately the taxes i pay will for his funeral would be worth it lol
Unless he was wrongly accused of course... happens all the time. Happened to someone I know... got 5 years, not sure how he survived because the one thing you can't be in prison is a rapist or chomo... you can be a rat before that. One guy got a lock in a sock and split a guys head open, because his wife was 16, even though in their state it was legal... didn't matter... people don't care.
@@dernvader6876 I was in a road rage at 42 yrs old stoped the guy he talked shit so I hit him once... cops came I have a past with violent crime all with grown men but since I was young. I always am well respected at 6'4 280 tattoos neck to feet and have had to put in work on real proven molesters and I attorney up and my charge going in was child cruelty great bodily injury possible death. Hit him once he was 17 and half with a beard. No one would believe me I fought off rape and didn't sleep till court hurt some young guys who were told to handle me. One for life. I went to court got my discovery showed the shot caller then beat hiss ass and bailed out. Got a simple battery. The rules are fucked up and people like the violence. It starts with the guards and trickles down. I saw a guy who got a duo with his kid in car get child endangerment and blew a .09 rolled by all his own car till he died. Something everyone may be guilty of after a dinner out. There use to be court when I was young and we weeded out your friends case. That's not our enemy. The dad who preys on his daughter. Him he is scum and gets handled. Everyone now watches to much you tube and havent been there so shouldn't give there opinion. Sorry about your friend I know how it feels to have all that hate and energy ruin you mentally and physically
When you learn a new word so you try use it in every sentence.
I myself am a shot caller, and in fact, am the biggest, most important shot caller of all time. If I tell u to put in work and u dare say no, I will....nay...MUST tickle your belly for no more than 3 minutes. I am tuff and fair.
Thanks for great videos! Keep up the good work! =)
Hey Shaun I really enjoy the insight you show about prisons.
The way he ends his sentences with a deflection is a bit odd. His story’s are fascinating none the less.
Shaun Attwood I actually enjoy the way you speak. Odd doesn’t in any way imply anything negative. I apologize if it came across that way. Love your content. Keep it coming. 👍
Donald R. DeCicco wtf are u talkn about. Crap
Shaun Attwood UPSPEAK??
Ash Osborne widnes
M Cee He used to end almost every sentence with a high note like Aussies are stereotypically known to do. Watch his first podcast with True Geordie you'll notice.
Good video, I was down a wrong path when I had the option to become a prospect. People like you helped me think different
2019 I been in prison.Texas is different.The guards are the shoot callers killing inmates.
I've heard that
Facts all prisons bro
My question is what if you're not in a gang, a shotcaller asks you to do work, and you refuse?
Oh my life, learned more about you in this broadcast. How scary 😯 I only just followed you a few days ago.
You should collaborate with AfterPrisonShow! I understand the space between you but I reckon a Skype podcast type thing would be brilliant!
Shaun Attwood oh.... thank you :) 👍
Lockdown 24and1
Big herc r the best prison channels on here
I don't have any real knowledge about these sorts of things.. But had run into your channel... I appriciate understanding about how other things work, better in these cases from someone else. Anyways about in the middle of your story all I could think is, thank you Jesus that you ended up ok
Because you know, that may have not been your story to tell if things had worked out badly. Some Judao/ practicing Christian lady. ☺
There's no more rolling up, in LA County anyway! You're only leaving one way...
Yo Sean, know prison was rough, but you sure lived before you went, and you're out while you're still virile. Good man, cheers from Dallas. Salute
I couldn't put my finger on it, but I've figured it out. You look like Joe Satriani.
What if you have an injury or illness and someone calls you a bitch or you're ordered to put in work? Say you have a malignant brain tumor or a kidney disorder and the doc says you will die if struck in the head or kidneys. Do you just have to take that risk?
I feel they ended the segregated prison system to generate conflict within.
No wonder he beat the case. There wouldn't have been a shred of forensic evidence, and the witnesses would never be believed in court.
I see that bottle of Remy Martin right there!
If you don’t do as the shot caller says, you and your family will be done for.
I could see your channel growing much larger.
Your story of going to prison while withdrawing on Benzos is crazy, must have been hell. I withdrew from clonopin once and it felt like the gates of HELL. for a year.
Loving all the stories and knowledge, keep it coming!
I was I jail with shaun... I turned him out for a six pack of soups
Thanks Shaun, I've read your trilogy of prison books and they're brilliant! You sound like you are of the same temperament (I'm not as bright as you though) as me btw, which has its own advantages. You're a fantastic author and have a magnetic personality judging by your videos.
Keep up the great work. Peace.
You must be on witness protection...
... revealing way too many details on those people can get people hurt!!
Take care mate.
Miguelon De Leon
Yea hes mentioning way too many names.. even if it didn't affect him in any way, could've said these guys beat up so and so or killed so and so..
Omgggggg! Shawn I would think all these stories will keep people from everrr wanting to get into trouble!
🤣🤣
guy on the thumbnail looks like the dragonslayer from GoT :P
Kingslayer
he ran out of the cell and Gravedigger made him go back XD
Gotta watch out for the *BOOTY BANDITS* and the *WIG SPLITTERS*
Love that stinky booty 😎
