She quit her job at the TSA, now she is a prison guard.
jccjccjoanne Quitted?
Kvn Svc she played a TSA agent on the security episode. She quitted TSA at the end of the episode.
i think he's pointing out that you should have used the word quit
Shad0 R3ap3r Gaming I thought Quitted was the past tense of Quit? (Sorry, I am used to British English. Do Americans use Quit for past tense?)
Yeah, we do. America, the land of freedom, and stupidity.
Now this point I strongly agree with. Privatization of public services creates an environment based on profit and not the betterment of society which is the expressed goal of prisons, schools, civil maintenance, etc...
Health insurance.
Honestly, all of America's problems seem to stem from privatisation of businesses.
john stewart your all or nothing comment is stupid and you should feel bad.
Deceptive-Duck as well as our strengths. private enterprise boomed us to be a current economic super power. the problem is that all the larger business are so successful, there is no way to meaningfully compete. even between two massive businesses, there likely is no way for one to much more than marginally effect the other.
in essence big businesses are a species so well adapted to the environment that they have killed off all competition and now are stagnating in diseases that come with overpopulation.
The primary problem with this argument is that there is this notion that public prisons don't also seek profit. They do. Public prisons unions have every incentive lobby the government to keep laws in place that increase incarceration. They survive off of more inmates just like private prisons. reason.com/blog/2015/06/02/are-for-profit-prisons-or-public-unions
I used to work for CCA. The prison had two inmates in cells made for only one inmate. We corrections officers were given two weeks of training and were outnumbered 128 to one. At one point I was surrounded by five inmates and was about to fight but one of the sargents arrived and started radioing out and the inmates dispersed.
There were two officers there that would routinely beat inmates but nothing was ever done about it. I at once kept one of the inmates lunches and made him watch me eat it because he spit on me. You have to give repercussions or else you won't be respected by the inmates and that's a problem.
There were regular shortages of basic necessities like soap and blankets.
Stabbings and fights amongst inmates were an everyday occurrence and attacks on officers were common.
I used to write infractions on inmates often because it was a deterrence. They didn't want to get their sentences lengthened.
I was approached by the Aryan Nation who attempted to recruit me into their gang. Many of the officers were also in the gangs. We were getting paid $10 per hour and there were officers driving brand new Mustang GTs.
Cell phones were illegal. $19 cell phones were worth $300 and $120 smartphones were worth $1,000. People who had killed multiple people with knives and other such weapons had access to lawn mower blades and shovels.
The average officer lived 58 years.
wtf, prisons need major restructuring.
I believe every word..
@Selene Castle low chances man he can be tracked and this is YT we talking about it sees everything
Scotlands worst Prisons pale in comparison to that even barlinnie and shotts
@@_SixtyFLags He specifically tells us that *not* all prisons are like this though. He mentions that many of the problems brought up in the video are problems with private prisons.
Adam should ruin Black Friday.
AgentJonathan he already did
Black Friday ruins itself. Besides, Black Friday is extremely entertaining.
Ferragamo Kuwop really what episode number and season
Rideca74 Not if you work any manner of retail.
Imagine how ethical our system would be if we took money out of important decision making.
Much more ethical? Yes. Much more effective? Only sometimes.
Ethics is subjective. Be part of the solution and either don't get caught or don't break the law.
Unfortunately if money is not the main motivator power will be.
IKR! I wish I knew how to make this happen. Maybe we can find out what hormone in our brain is released when we are charitable out of the goodness of our hearts, and we can make that our currency. However much of it you have produced is how much money you have.
Someone could do that if they find out what it is. They can make a sensor for it that can be implanted in the brain or wherever it needs to be, and then make it into a cryptocurrency.
@@Infantry9 Don't break the law doesn't cut it though. Your country sentenced to death and executed people that were later found to be innocent. Being an upstanding citizen is not enough as long as the state government wants prisons full, the DA has an incentive to convict even innocent people for his career prospects and cops have an incentive by throwing the innocent under the bus to match quotas and brag about successful cases.
Prisoner: Breathes
Officer: THAT'S A INFRACTION!!!
The only thing Adam has ruined is that girls life xD

3:12 That's a legendary catch! Whoo!
Why didn't they mention the increasing slave labour in prisons?
+Lance Chafin u didn't know about that?
Partly because this isn't the whole episode, partly because I don't think that's a real thing anymore....
CreepeRave: They still pay prisoners pennies a day to work all kinds of labor. A guy working 8 hours a day making license plates, furniture, even auto repair, etc, may only be payed around 50 cents a day.
watch "13th" available on Netflix.. I thought this skit was familiar and now remember why.. if you have 90mins watch "13th"
Because it's not technically slave labor quote unquote they pay the inmates like $0.15 an hour
My wife got her master’s degree in criminal justice. Everything she told me about what she was learning was extremely depressing. If I had done that program I would have thrown myself off the Golden Gate Bridge.
Legalized not-slavery.
Jean~Luc Picard read the 13th amendment
Jean~Luc Picard In The Long View (Sci Fi), United Energy and Transport turns Earth into a prison society with Total Welfare. The rebels keep their spirits up with a sarcastic ditty, "There's only latrine in all of U E T!" UET started as privatized prison operators.

Revealing that this show isn't perfect? THAT'S AN INFRACTION.
Lmao nice catch.👌
Talk about bad acting.
That's because those ladies are being punished with no lunch.
they probably couldn't afford it.
In 2006 at
CCA’s Citrus County Jail in Florida, four prisoners filed suit against CCA, alleging that officers had urinated and placed fecal matter in their food and drinks on multiple occasions. CCA admitted that urine had been mixed into juice served to people incarcerated at the jail.
America is the laughing stock of the world.
I'm pretty sure most of the world has their own problems to deal with.
It's mostly just smug idiots who like to jump on the hate America bandwagon.
Lmfao I live in america so it is the laughing stock of the world because we are forcwd to go to school and the goverment breaks there own rules expecially equality and civil rights kids are forces to go to school thats against cival rights and equality
Pretty Ironic
Still the laughing stock in 2019
is there no faith in humanity?
why is it always all money money money.
Because we're animals with instincts to hoard things that we think make our survival easier.
Don't loose faith in humanity, we do amazing things all the time, but also expect the absolute worst. We're pretty terrible as well.
LEO UR because they guy I got my house off insists I pay for it
Dom Hunt 😁 well then tell him to F off.
You absolutely care about money. What are you writing this on? Iphone? Even if you write this on a crappy phone my point still stands. If you REALLY don't care about money, you should sell ALL your stuff and give it away. and left enough to survive. Now you really don't care about money.
This is absolutely disgusting. The business executives who profit from this should be put in prison instead.
This was less funny... and more just... really depressing.
“GRAFFITI! That’s an infraction....a beautiful one........are you Banksy?! 😂😂😂💀
Hahaha
the freest country in the world is locking up so many people that they need private person

In fact I said the freest country in the world
Don't know I'm not white
Please don't shoot me 😭😂😂😂
Lol are you a liberal? Bc only a liberal would bring race like that
WTF!?!? Ok, I know this is just a show and this argument is irrelevant
BUT WHY IS THE PRISON FOOD BETTER THAN MOST SCHOOLS?
Oh no it's not school lunches is the highest quality you will find in prison
Jesus Gallardo actually the Aramark corporation which provides most prisons with their foods is a school food manufacturer as well.
Um, no. It's the same quality food. many corperations will actually provide food for schools and prisons.
Jazz Walker Im talking about the props
jesus I wish I had school cafeteria food in jail
I applaud you for covering this subject! How about doing one on charter schools?
If we had more charter schools we would have less prisons
@@krischette4108 Charter Schools are a conspiracy to defund public schools.
The best way to fix this is to copy Norway
Yes and no. Norway also has the highest rate of deliberate incarceration due to it's conditions that actually costs the tax payers of the country about 10 million kroner a year (2 billion dollars). Norway has a great system but it is not without flaw.
1 USD is 8.63611 NOK(Nordic crown) as of writing.
So 10 million NOK is 115.793 USD.
But don't worry, you're only of by about 1999884207 USD.
If you're gonna use numbers as an arguement, atleast have the right numbers
- Everyone
10 million NOK is 1.15 million USD, not 115 dollars nor 2 billion
Anders Hoffmann In a hex of internet arguing I misplaced million with billion. My mistake, I simply did the times 5 math which is standard of the danish Kroner on average (and fairly on par give or take with the Norwegian Kroner). I apologize for the typo but deliberate recidivism costs them 10 billion kroner (not million) which I did not properly articulate before.
The right-wing mass shooter in Norway has a bedroom, reading room, and exercise room, and he still sued, and won, a human rights complaint because his game console was not the latest version.
I can imagine Matthew Santoro and Miley Chen from beyond science chilling with Adam

Are you serious bro 
Are you serious bro
This is so true, A very good friend of mine was used as a guinea pig, and was framed to help a drug dealer bring meth into the state, my friend has no criminal record, has no infractions with the law, yet the judge automatically said 10yrs incarceration and a 1 million dollar fine. We hired 2 criminal justice attorneys, even in that case the judge still said he'd have to do 1 year incarceration and 1 year probation. Any which way we looked at it, my friend had to go to prison. So this fact on how the CCA profits on prison is true, why isn't cnn or 60 minutes or even world wide news investigators exposing this? Probably because the CCA and the state controls them as well.
I am 100% sure people such as Adam does not fabricate their viral videos on how they tell the truth of red taped information, and how corrupted the U.S. Federal government, it's state government is. So if anything does happen to Adam shall he dissapeare from the face of the world we will all know that his viral videos are 100% accurate and true.
Adam I hope you can come to Guam 1 day and expose how corrupted it's government system is. And how capital is gained by the higher power officials here.
Keep on telling the truth, expose it and let the world know it. 👍👍👍
they forgot the part where they tell us how to FIX all this.
Close private prisons or hand them over to the government.
don't they only do that at the end of the episode?
Amanda Johnson yeah I think it's at the end. Has this episode been aired?
...Why would they have to tell us how to fix this. This is a show about ruining our previously incorrect perceptions about things.
NutritiouslyHigh They do it at the end of each episode, they don't always tell us how to fix it but they do tell us what's being done to fix it or how the situation is getting better.
The Academy-award nominated documentary "13th" directed by Ava DuVernay goes more in depth on the issue of mass incarceration for profit. The critically acclaimed book "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness" by Michelle Alexander also dissects the issue through the historical lens of race.
God Bless CAPITALISM!
He didn't drop out he got snubbed by Clinton
Yes letting Hillary cheat to win is totally a great idea
This is not capitalism - who locks them up? Keeps and enforces quotas? Puts people in prison because some people do things it does not like, like the wrong type of vegetation in one's pocket? Outsources its power of monopoly of force? This is the marriage of State and Private, making it Fascist.

No prison is worried about stopping crime. A prison has the following purposes:
1) Keep people separated from the outside
2) And do it while treating prisoners humanely and keeping inmates safe from each other
If you want to reduce crime, start at the legislation.
That the purposes of private prisons. Federal prisons are also meant to rehabilitate to prevent future crime, through education or therapy.
Silver Lining No, federal prisons have the exact same purpose. It is not the job of prisons to rehabilitate people. It's to keep them from the general populace.
That's why, you know, you can't leave a prison.
Z-Statistic So, if they are meant to just sit in prison, when they get out they'll just get back into crime. Federal prisons offer education and rehabilitation that when the prisoners do get out, they are less likely to commit crime again, and instead find work or further education. Then again, since the budget has been cut, they haven't been able to provide this as well as they did.
Because the government pays the private prison $33k for each prisoner a year, so the private prison wants 110% capacity, and spend as little as possible on food, maintenance and rehabilitation. They want to keep the prisoners as long as possible and they lobby congress for tougher laws to put more people in prison. That's why Marijuana is still federally illegal, because it accounts for over 50% of all drug crimes.
Silver Lining And now that begs the question as to why the government pays per person locked up instead of per person reformed (if reforming individuals as you say is the purpose of a prison).
The answer is pretty obvious: lobbying. But then the obvious conclusion is in fact contrary to the video's assertion: that the ability to make a for-profit prison is not a faulty reason but instead it's the politicians who have made the contract faulty.
Imagine if the deal was simply $1,000,000,000 a year at 0% recidivism and 0$ at 100%. That change in incentive would completely change the structure of prisons. But that's not going to happen because it wouldn't be easy to change your business structure so drastically, and you lobby people for this not to happen.
I mean, if being paid by the client at an insurance company gives perverse outcomes, you change the incentive structure, not completely write off private insurance as a business as immoral.
I was at CCA in Florence AZ 4 times and Ya they started at 18hr 15yrs ago full benefits and it's a little town so that's ballin. went to the hole, even flew con air to Torrence New Mexico to another CCA where they had state guys from Hawaii and Utah as well as their own. Some COs where nice but the atmosphere sucked worse than anywhere else
I was in jail for a year and every time they were about to start my trial they pushed it back 30 days I didn't know what was going on until I got out. My lawyer was actually working with the DA
in this case.. adam didnt ruin anything... pretty sure most people knew prisons weren't working.
You'd be surprised
Blake Davis not really, most people have no idea. I knew there were problems but not exactly what.
Blake Davis lol people really don't get how out of touch most Americans are
Yeah... Because liberals turned them into spas rather than actual prisons. If we used the prisoners to perform sweatshop labor we would both reduce our dependence on third world hellholes and make the prison system pay for itself.
+pwrserge83
So, liberals are the ones who ruined it, and yet liberals are the only ones trying to fix it? Seems legit.
Prisons are to punish people not reduce crime
Dupp prisons are to DETER criminals and REDUCE Crime.
Lil Bilie They deter prisoners by punishing them. You're supposed to NEVER want to go back.
Ralphie Cifaretto yeh that as well
its not a coincidence they changed their names like a year or two after this aired lmao
"Hey! That's COD-traband!" _sinister giggling_
Omg lol
The comments section of these videos prove that not only do people have no brains, they also have no hearts.
Yeah... Because got forbid we look at things rationally and realize that there's a reason the violent crime rate has dropped to multi-decade lows before Obama started sponsoring racist terrorists.
Yeah, the Millenials not being the "super predators" that people expected. So they had to incarcerate more people to make-up for the drop in crime.
Jarin Jove You're mistaking effect for cause. The crime dropped because criminals are in prison. It's not rocket science. The incarceration rates are inversely proportional to the violent crime rate since the 90s. There's a reason why the study Adam cited cherrypicked the years they examined,
you fuking sick right wing shithead..trust you to try and blame Obama for your imaginary "racist terrorist" that lives in your head..God i really hate you racist nutjobs

for a prison, they are eating a lot. Private prisons, or prisons in general, feed just enough for inmates to survive. Save some bucks for the states that way. And on top of that if prisoners or inmates are not fed adequately, they will be forced to buy from their outrageously expensive commissionary or canteen, even more money.
[CITATION NEEDED]
They get fed a 1500 calorie diet. Given that they sit on their asses all day, that's more than adequate.
Not all calories are equal, brah. Feed them a bad diet, they will be more irate.
Joe Dufour Yes. Son... All calories ARE equal. That's why they are called calories.
pwrserge83 Wow.
Talk about what you know and know what you're talking about.
It is painfully obvious you don't have a clue on the subject.
calories are energy. All calories ARE equal. But a diet can obviously still be worse than another diet although both diets have an equal amount of calories.
The value of a society is measured by the way how they deal with their lowest members.

Sometimes they will FIND a reason why you're breaking the law. Because there is so much law. Practicaly EVERYONE can be called a criminal one way or another.
capitalism at it's worst
4estrose Yo... I like capitalism but i just said this is at it's worst.
Joe corrected me that it is corporatism.
Yes compare yourself to China. Or perhaps take a look at Norway who only incarcerates 1/10 of the amount per capita then the US and has a recidivism rate of 20% compared to 75% in the US. This is how good your prison system is working www.nij.gov/topics/corrections/recidivism/Pages/welcome.aspx ...
Wow the Troll got triggered. Come back when you can give any factual statement.
4estrose just look at how Switzerland is doing with it and follow their example
Sergio Milho well, guess who's going out of a helicopter
"cord-traband" lol
I work for a Community Base Correctional facility and can verify most of this is true ESPECIALLY the infractions that extend inmates time. Defeats the entire point of "rehabilitation". (currently looking for a new career)
Im just wondering why there arent anything being done about any of this in light of whats been brought to the attention of the public :-|....
Because the majority still don't know, or do not believe this is true. Others don't care and think people deserve it, ...until it happens to them.
Most simply don't know what they can do about it.
+Iqmal Nazlan, Because of lobbying. There is too much money being made off of private prisons, so companies bribe politicians to keep them around. And guess what? Its legalized bribery and doesn't count as corruption!

Hey I’m writing a paper on this in my 7th grade arguementative Essay. Thanks for the sources mate!
How did it go?
Adam Conover would be the last source I would use. Most of what he says on these shows is BS. What is real is the liberal garbage he attempts to push, which is the REAL premise behind this show
I feel like this prison allows shivs just so they can make the “thats codtraband!” Joke...
I don’t get it, like are u joking or...
Adam is the hero this world needed
What they aren't talking about are the high number of minorities who they want in the prison systems, basically corporations don't give black people jobs until eventually they turn to crime and violence and have no choice but to go to prison. There is also the school to prison pipeline which basically can't wait until black children get old enough to go to prison
i don't need white people telling me there is no racism and its us thats the problem. we minorities see it and know it a fact
GetOutOMahFace You are HIGHLY underestimating human cruelty.
Rust R I am underestimating human cruelty? What does that even mean? I am using logic to try and figure out what is actually wrong. And from what I understand, big corporations are not all in some huge world plot to make black people criminals.
Do you even hear how idiotic that sounds?
Jay Mendoza Are you just rambling incoherently? Did you even read my comment? Please point out where exactly I said racism isn't real. Yeah, you can't. What I am saying is that Nicole's outlook on big corporations make absolutely 0 sense.
Racism is alive and well in society, and I am aware of that. BUT, I do NOT believe there is a widespread racist agenda within big corporations to make black people criminals. That is just absurd to even propose.
Tell me honestly, that if a minority got denied a job from target or some place, the only reason is because the employer WANTS the minority to be a criminal.
I'm afraid these words are falling onto deaf ears.

The link to the sources in the video description is not working.
I want to keep watching this series, but it's just so depressing to know that there is so much needless pain and suffering in the world just because some people are greedy assholes who only care for themselves.
It does suck I hope that the spreading of the awareness of these topics can help the people demand a change and we can put an end to the extra suffering people go through in this world
This video showed a few important points that are worth addressing. 1. Do private prisons keep inmates longer than they should through infractions? 2. We need to repeal any bad legislation that props up private prisons. 3. We need criminal justice reform so we don't send so many nonviolent offenders to prison.
Unfortunately this was crowded out by stupid points like "The private companies get paid money" well duh! Maybe you would volunteer to run a prison for free, but the rest of us need money. Earning money is awesome when you provide a valuable good or service that is in demand.
If they said that private prisons cost tax payers more money, that would be worth investigating why. Their bias against private corporations was so off-putting I could hardly get through the video.
Noel Fallstrom I think they made the tax point because people assume that just because it's a private prison, it doesn't take any money from the average Joe. If the prison is going to be government funded anyway, why not have it government run as well?
Noel Fallstrom Obviously they need money but they choose how to spend it. The way they make money is by spending as little as possible and keeping the rest.
@Noel Fallstrom You straw-manned the point of the video...private correctional companies (like CCA) are incentivized for keeping people in prison for as long as possible, for their profit and their profit alone. In a roundabout way, you actually argued in favor of Adam's points.
Bottom line...when criminal justice/law enforcement becomes a for-profit venture, more and more people get criminalized because someone is making money off of it. Society no longer is a forgiving place because CCA/et.al. are making money by the enforcement of these laws which serve to criminalize more and more of the people in that society.
If CCA/et.al. has lobbyists, no "bad" law will ever be removed, because doing so isn't in CCA/et.al.'s best interest. Keeping bad laws on the books benefits CCA/et.al., and law enforcement serves to protect and serve the interests of CCA/et.al., not the interests of citizens.
They use the "The private companies get paid money" argument because this is an area where the government shouldn't let companies profit off of the prison system. They also already stated it still costs tax payers the same amount of money as government run prisons.

if you stop and think about it a little further, you will realize that since we pay the same amount of money either way, we are still putting the same number of dollars into people's pockets whether they are incompetent private companies or expert public administrators. For profit means they do it for money... just like every public employee (and the majority of non-profit organizations). If the owners are public officials, you don't begrudge their 6 figure salary. If the owners are private citizens, suddenly all the money they take for themselves is evil.
I am not trying to excuse any of the problems or abuses that these private companies are at fault for. I just want to focus on those items as the problems we need to solve. When we focus on fixing the private profits, in the end we will realize that we didn't end up fixing anything for the people suffering. The private prisons would simply sell their facilities to the state and be hired by the government to run them.
All the "clerks" and "parole registrars" and jail-support people are profiting as well. It might be uncomfortable to point it out, but every nightmarish human trip through the "system" enriches all those people along the way. Every one of them.
Anyone else notice the Sim 3 music at the beginning?
The racial undertones in this are pretty interesting.
was thinking the same thing
ah but they make up only 40% of the prison population. That being said your point is generally correct as blacks account for about 10% of the population.
yes, that is what I'm saying, there is a disproportionate amount of black people in prison. That could mean many things. It could be that they are committing more crime, or maybe they are treated unfairly by the justice system, or maybe some combination of the two.
Rick Tata you're right, there aren't any mud sharks in this. Thanks for pointing that out.
lmao.
the purpose of the prison is to punish and correct criminals
David Cope Yes but the problem is this. If your goal is to hold as many prisoners in for as long as possible then any reformed prisoners have no chance of life on the outside.
wow it's like jail shouldn't ruin your life
David Cope so your saying a 60 year old man who got mixed up with the wrong crowd 35 years ago and did some help moving drugs once and has never touched drugs since deserves to be in prison till the day he dies is justice? people do bad things that doesn't mean they never deserve another chance at life
The purpose of prison is the punish accordingly, and rehabilitate to prevent future crime. Private prisons only do the 1st part.
Yes. It's supposed to make them not want to go there again. But it's futile. People still commit crimes even after being in prison for 20 years. So obviously it doesn't work.
3:10 that catch though
I hope this show steams on Hulu
The fact that this show is stuck behind a paywall is appalling.
I mean it's a television show. On TV. I guess buying cable is a paywall, but it gives them the budget to create these well-funded episodes.
Kimosabae Grant It's a T.V. show, every T.V. show has a pay wall in order to watch it on RUclips.
Oh no we have to PAY for stuff? Apalling. We should like, get it for free. You know.
I am black and I will always donate $500,000 a month to private prisons no matter what you say!
Well, it's good to know that stupidity isn't color blind.
NobodyNowhereKnowhow he not black he a trump robot
Obvious lie is obvious
Thanks Adam for giving me a new stock to buy.
I went to Eastern State Pennitariray (I don't know how to spell it) and there was a graph on how many more people were incarcerated over time. the 2000s was probably as tall as 4 fridges stocked up on top of each other. and what country was the country with the most people in jail? the us of a
The human race is a mess :(
No. Just Murica. And a few Third World hellholes.
is mayonaaose a thord world hell hole
don't wanna go to private prison...don't do bad stuff....
Wow, they should give you a Nobel Prize for that outstanding revelation.
Norm604 I mean if you consider smoking weed a bad thing, then yeah
What if you have to? You never know who you'll be dealing with.
Yep, such as if you are in need of money from maybe being in poverty. Drugs and illegal activity is such a tempting way to gain quick loads of cash to help feed your family.
Plenty of rich people do bad stuff. No rich people end up in prison.
insane skills at throwing infractions into peoples hands at 3:12
Yep, this is part of the disaster we have now and need desperately to fix!
