I worked as a correctional officer for 12 years. It was the most unfulfilling job ever! I’m a nurse now at a nursing home and I absolutely adore my sweet residents! Being a nurse was my calling and I’m so glad I went back to school and got my degree! Also it’s my birthday today Joel!
I worked my butt off, so my wife could go to nursing school and she worked her butt off at nursing school and it was the best thing we ever did. Being a nurse I think is one of the best jobs a human can have. Congratulations glad to hear you are very happy now.
My uncle was convicted in 1985 for 1st degree premeditated murder at the ripe old age of 22. He was passed out asleep drunk in his truck at a bar. His friend who was with him that night shot and killed a man in the bar. My uncle received the same sentence as his friend (life with possibility of parole). You are the company you keep was enforced upon me my entire childhood. He spent several years at the Tennessee State Prison (the famous Green Mile prison). Family weekend visitation was spent out on the picnic grounds (weather permitting). There were grills, playground equipment, etc. Its was like a neighborhood cookout every weekend. Several of my childhood years was spent on those grounds for visitation until the prison closed. Always looked forward to those visits. Lots of fond memories. My uncle was in prison another 15 years before being paroled. Visited all the other prisons but none were ever as fun as The Walls. I actually nearly choked to death on candy at the next prison my uncle was sent to. I dont remember the name. He was at Brushy Mountain too (another famous prison) but I dont think it was there. Anyway, my uncle and another couple inmate saved my life while the guards watched. Never understood why they just stood there while everyone else was in a panic.
@@Any-Okra just the one time. Was never in trouble before or after he was paroled. He was locked up for over 20 yrs. When the Walls closed, he was shuffled around to several different prisons until the new prison opened. Prosecutors originally tried to give him the death penalty but my granny mortgaged her farm to pay for the best criminal defense attorney in our city at the time. They were able to settle for life with the possibility of parole after so many years. My uncle was only a free man for a little over 10 yrs before he died from adrenal cancer in his early 50s..
My mom works in a min-medium security prison in southwest Wisconsin. Thankfully, she's not an officer but she does have frequent interactions with inmates as her job is to basically look at their crime, time, conduct, and terms of incarceration to determine what programs they'd be available to take that are supposed to help reform them. She's great at what she does and she genuinely loves her job and cares about the inmates and I so wish more people in that line of work were like my mom.
@@adrienkopish3220It's not a women's prison or Waupan but she has gone there for training in the past. One of her friends is a sergeant and she did her first year at Waupan and that place is crazy, man.

I just wanted to say thank you to the awesome let’s Read family for helping me in my grief and sadness after losing my youngest brother David 6 days ago. The let’s Read is the best RUclips family I could ever be a part of and Joel I’m honored and grateful that I can be apart of this amazing family. So to the let’s Read family you guys are the best and I’m grateful for The let’s Read family. I also wanted to give an update on I’m doing, I’m trying to come to terms with David’s death. I’m trying to stay strong for my children and my family. It’s hard for me right now but I’m trying to be a strong and loving father to my 3 year old son and my 1 year old daughter. Thank you Joel and thank you let’s Read family you guys are awesome.
Oh my, that's heartbreaking, I can't imagine losing a sibling 😢 If you don't mind me asking what happened to your brother? Sending lots of love your way 🖤
Jacob, it never gets "better", but it will get manageable in time... your time. We're here for you though, one member of the Buttersock Cult to another, hang in there
Hey, thanks for the update- I was thinking about your comment earlier (can’t help it, mental health specialist with severe “work brain). As a mental health professional though, right now you need to remember to be kind to yourself ❤ both for your family and for you. Healing can’t be pressured or rushed, and progress isn’t linear so please don’t forget that! I lost my only guardian just six months ago and I’m still working on healing, myself. Both for my kids and the family I’ve built, and my clients, and myself. Hope you have a wonderful life, man, stay strong!!
community and support is so important during hard times. I lost my mother a few years ago and I felt so very alone. lean into family, and be sure to look after yourself and your health. my sincere condolences on your loss.
You have such a calming voice and style that you could be even more explicit in the horrors you describe and one could still listen to blissfully relax. Never change.
Thank you for covering in depth China’s oppression of the Uyghur people. It truly is disgusting and it is important for everyone to know about it. Much respect for tackling such a topic
The US and US allies have done far worse, and those crimes are actually well-documented and not just political propaganda. Chain gangs of the 1930s, Japanese internment, Segregation, McCarthyism, etc.
@@gusvalour it was? I have very little idea about Guantanamo bay since I’m Australian. Sorry, I only have a vague idea of what happens there (even tho it’s common knowledge I won’t pretend to understand everything) but no idea past that.
@@gusvalour China's treatment of the Uyghur people: Government policies have included the arbitrary detention of Uyghurs in state-sponsored internment camps, forced labor, suppression of Uyghur religious practices, political indoctrination, severe ill-treatment, forced sterilization, forced contraception, and forced abortion. Guantanamo prison nor is the U.S. involved in genocide, imprisoning people due to religion, there have been no (at least that have been made public) any forced sterilization or pregnancy terminations. It's laughable that you even attempt at comparing the two.

But to try to equate a select few individuals being held and treated very unfairly to fucking GENOCIDE just for being born, is hardly genuine.
8:27 I'm from Brazil and I remember seeing the pictures from the aftermath of the massacre of Carandiru. So many bodies... I'm glad they closed and demolished that place.
Honestly, I don’t even wanna think about what the cleanup crew, presumably of a hazmat level, wound up witnessing afterward. Their imaginations must’ve been running wild with uncertainty: unsure what actually occurred, were the guilty parties nearby, and if so, could it happen again?
You're an awesome narrator Joel! You've helped so many with their sleep and I hope my stories will have that affect one day. You are someone I would encourage all new and upcoming narrators to look up to. P.s, your live stream yesterday was amazing, fun and hilarious as always!
Regarding the 1st, I'm from the area and quite frankly most people don't feel any sympathy towards the slaughtered gang members. They were absolutely savages, just as violent as cartel members.
Joel when do you upload these to Spotify? I'm in country and signal not good so I go to Spotify and find good signal and download new ones. Can't sleep without your soothing voice. You definitely are doing what you were called to do. Thanks for Helping so many of us. We need our sleepies ☺️
As to the Brazilian prison massacre. I'm on the side of the guards. If you're coming at someone with an hiv infected syringe, you're certainly not "unarmed."
I really wish you would have spoken about parchment prison in Mississippi here. I watched a documentary on it the other day called exposing parchment and there was this one guy on there that goes to prisons all around the world to tell them what they need to work on and he said unit 29 at parchment is the worst prison he has ever seen in his life and the only thing that comes close is a prison in the Congo. It's absolutely horrible the way they're treated there. One guy went into a diabetic coma because they stopped bringing him his insulin and other medications and the other guys on the block were yelling for the guards that never came so one of them sacrificed their mattresses and set it on fire just to get the guards down there.
@@SkyyKeironagreed they do deserve it. Up north people like going to prison. Wish they would make prison as dreadful as possible to make people think twice about committing crime.
Over 2000 inmates, and 16 guards, and a warden to watch them, all those family members that were angry… Didn’t do what they could to keep their family members from acting like absolute monsters and ending up in that prison to begin with. I wonder how many of them knew that the drug deals and the fighting between the gangs was what originally caused the riot. I am with the police and how they handled it. Out of sheer necessity, there was literally no other way it could’ve been handled. And the panic that they must have felt to have seen their own fellow officers drenched in those disgusting fluids absolutely merits the response. Those horrible inmates had been saving and storing up to use biological warfare proves what they were doing was predicated and murderous. The men that surrendered or stopped fighting only did so because they were sorry they got caught not because they were sorry for what they did.
Hi Joel - This is the best clip you’ve uploaded in my opinion - that last item on the Uighers is truly terrifying and made for difficult listening, but it should be a wake-up call to all of us … fair play to you 👍
I preface this with my dad was in and out of prison. Prisoners get the right to eat, sleep, and wake up. You dont have any other rights. Stay outta prison if you dont like it.
This video sheds light on some truly disturbing and concerning situations around the world. It's crucial that we raise awareness about these issues and advocate for positive change. Let's stand up for justice, human rights, and a safer, more compassionate world for all.
Visited San Quentin once, didn’t seem like a fun place, but I got yelled at bc I walked into the gas chamber and apparently even guards aren’t supposed to do that. Only had the chance bc at the time I was dating a girl whose dad was best friends with the warden. Seemed neat being where nearly no one alive had ever been but honestly it did feel crazy cold inside there…..
I mean, who in their right mind just wants to casually visit a prison, in the first place? Like, aside from talking to their loved ones who are in the system, that is.
Just out of curiosity…I have been watching your channel for about a year now….so I m still looking through your older work…but did you ever look into the Donner Party or tell a story from them? I would love to hear one if you have…
@@melissamoonchild9216I'm also a Utahan lol so I'm curious as to why you felt the need to mention that you were from Utah when commenting about the Donner party? The tragedy didn't happen in Utah, Donner Pass isn't in Utah, they didn't start in Utah, none of them were Mormons or anything . . . So I'm not sure why you thought it was relevant to point that out? Sure the group had troubles in Utah. But that was pretty common for the time and basically anyone who traveled through the area. So yeah.
Darkness Prevails, Dr Creepen, Jordan Grupe Horror, Dark Somnium, Creepy Ghost Stories, Spirit Voices, Romnex, Big Daddy Stone… a few more awesome channels!
I don't need Aura. I do amazing with just you when I fall asleep. Takes me less than 10 minutes, compared to two hours without, when I'm not actively listening to your story reading
I worked as a correctional officer, it's a unique job for sure. Takes a lot of mental strength. Some people stay in the job way to long, it's not a career job at all. Do it if you need too, don't stay in it.
I was head nurse at correction facility. Total respect from population. Nobody wants to be in the situation, we made the best of time. it's a different life.
Kinda cool to hear about the Santa Fe prison riot on this. I used to drive past that place all the time when I went down highway 14. My buddies father was a guard during the riot. He punched his way through a reinforced pane of glass on a door when the prisoners started overwhelming the place. Destroyed his arm in the process but got out.
I've been blessed that even though I was an actual "crash test dummy" until I turned 27. SMFH, I never had to go to prison. But I think the Gun Club in West Palm had deputies I swear they could have a wonderful career as pro wrestlers, or UFC fighters. Im 6"2" 270, and the SMALLEST one of the shake down squad could have thrown me around like a kid. BTW I'm 45 now, no warrants, no probation, no fines and I haven't had any problems with the boys in blue in over a decade. People can change. Or in my case, grow up eventually ❤
I regard to the first story the use of biological warfare in the form of attempting transmitting aids made me loose any empathy for the animals who caused the riot
1:16:53 sorry but it's not intravenous, it's intramuscular. It's not introduced into the vein. Just for future reference! 😊By the way, you're one of my top five RUclipsrs! I don't know how you don't have more subscribers than you do!
Fun fact: the guy in the picture isn't an inmate, it is in fact Joel. He drew on his face with a sharpie during his fugue state whilst thinking up the ending line of this video.
I wonder if Joel ever gets offended because everyone wants to listen to him so they can fall asleep when he works so hard to narrate these. I wonder if he thinks does anyone actually listen to the stories or just use me to sleep. Well for me it’s both I fall asleep everyday but I also go back and listen over and over, sometimes 10-20 times so eventually I’ve heard every story more than once. Every story in the playlist “Paranormal” I’ve heard all of the several times they are my favorite.
Some of them were shot 50 times? Either multiple officers were shooting at one prisoner at a time or one officer mag dumped a prisoner and reloaded. Remember folks, 30 rounds are pretty much standard! (Unless these guys had the budget for P90's 👀)

Because it could've been a distraction to overtake the guards.
That's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.
If it wasnt 1st degree it would either be a different type of murder or involuntary manslaughter.
How many times did your uncle get locked up ??

I don't need Aura. I do amazing with just you when I fall asleep. Takes me less than 10 minutes, compared to two hours without, when I'm not actively listening to your story reading
Okay but tryin to infect other human beings with HIV (which was kind of a death sentence at that point in history) is fucked up.
I worked as a correctional officer, it's a unique job for sure. Takes a lot of mental strength. Some people stay in the job way to long, it's not a career job at all. Do it if you need too, don't stay in it.
Wow wow wow is literally all I can say I’m speechless…
The first story is wild. Those guards and military should been set free Brazil is so behind.
Aura came into your life the way you came into ours ❤ keep it up Joel
How very fitting right now with a whole murderer escaped from prison & on the loose here in PA.
I fuckin love this channel! Joel your narration is impeccable and by far my favorite channel ❤️ keep it up please!
Hey Joel! How are you today??
I am also ready to be educated with this hour long video about terrifying real life prisons, yikes 😱
Thank you for going into depth with the crimes against the Uighur.
You are my sleep app. It takes me a couple times to make sure I hear all your stories.
I was head nurse at correction facility. Total respect from population. Nobody wants to be in the situation, we made the best of time. it's a different life.
You’re my aura ❤
I hear Dolce Vita (sweet life) by: Ryan Paris, in the AURA intro. Brings back memories... 🌴😎
Hello there
Not first
@@Komeijientitynope, just saying hello there
👍👍👍@@robertrice1531
Welllll Hellloooooo Thereeee
Kinda cool to hear about the Santa Fe prison riot on this.
I used to drive past that place all the time when I went down highway 14.
My buddies father was a guard during the riot. He punched his way through a reinforced pane of glass on a door when the prisoners started overwhelming the place. Destroyed his arm in the process but got out.
How did they get the bucket full of blood in the first story?
Dude story #1, jailhouse guillotine! That's Savage!!
Love you RUclips Joel!❤🤍💙
The way you say São Paulo,Brasil🤩♥︎it!!😍🇧🇷💙🇺🇲
Meh, who needs Aura, when we have Joel's wonderful voice?
my thoughts exactly
I did a project about the uigurs last year and got and A+!!!!
I've been blessed that even though I was an actual "crash test dummy" until I turned 27. SMFH, I never had to go to prison. But I think the Gun Club in West Palm had deputies I swear they could have a wonderful career as pro wrestlers, or UFC fighters. Im 6"2" 270, and the SMALLEST one of the shake down squad could have thrown me around like a kid.
BTW
I'm 45 now, no warrants, no probation, no fines and I haven't had any problems with the boys in blue in over a decade. People can change. Or in my case, grow up eventually ❤
I regard to the first story the use of biological warfare in the form of attempting transmitting aids made me loose any empathy for the animals who caused the riot
1:16:53 sorry but it's not intravenous, it's intramuscular. It's not introduced into the vein. Just for future reference! 😊By the way, you're one of my top five RUclipsrs! I don't know how you don't have more subscribers than you do!
I believe that all prisons are disturbing. Maybe that's just me.
Im trying not to visit *any* prisons 😅
The Devil’s Butcher Shop gives the complete story of the NM prison riot. You can also do a ghost tour of the buildings.
That last “story” was straight from the State Department lmao
Fun fact: the guy in the picture isn't an inmate, it is in fact Joel. He drew on his face with a sharpie during his fugue state whilst thinking up the ending line of this video.
This intro is so fire
I wonder if Joel ever gets offended because everyone wants to listen to him so they can fall asleep when he works so hard to narrate these. I wonder if he thinks does anyone actually listen to the stories or just use me to sleep. Well for me it’s both I fall asleep everyday but I also go back and listen over and over, sometimes 10-20 times so eventually I’ve heard every story more than once. Every story in the playlist “Paranormal” I’ve heard all of the several times they are my favorite.
I am so so so glad you addressed the uyghur persecution and concentration camps. So, so glad!
Well Damn....where will i go on vacation the ?🤔
😂
One correction depo provera is IM (intramuscular) not IV (intravenous). It goes into either your butt or upper arm.
Some of them were shot 50 times? Either multiple officers were shooting at one prisoner at a time or one officer mag dumped a prisoner and reloaded. Remember folks, 30 rounds are pretty much standard! (Unless these guys had the budget for P90's 👀)
PHILADELPHIA USA😢
The last one is in China?
How am I not surprised...
I guess I'll be visiting other prisons then.
Big Joel Mentor!
These are way better than the FAKE and definitely not scary reddit stories
Nice Heavy Metal intro there 😅
