Never been to prison as a customer, but I was a corporate chef & consultant for years & visited several prison kitchens in the US. The kitchens and food quality varied from facility to facility as if you were visiting a different country with each prison! The food here is far better than many US prisons I visited, incomparable even... Stay out of prison folks, eat fresh & stay fresh-
Everyone here needs to open a history book and learn about how Singapore was, and how it got to how it is now. The entire world needs to learn from it.
This is horrendous. They don't even get a proper bed and a mattress. They get 2 blankets, and that's it. Forced to sleep on the cold, hard floor. 40 months in prison, stuck in a tiny isolation cell for getting high is INSANE! Also those food portions are tiny. I would need about twice that.
That's why you don't do crime in the first place, that's the consequences of their actions, also its a Maximum security prison so it might be different to other ones

@aidanwarren4980 just because you see it as unjust does not matter. If you know it's the law and you do it then you accept the consequences. If you drink and drive and then go to jail and lose your license that's your fault
Having your own cell is a luxury usually not seen in most prisons.
What I'd fear more than anything else if I was arrested is being alone in a cell for weeks or months. There's nothing worse than complete isolation.
So is a psychotic and smelly cellmate that wants to give it to you or worse.@@noorrougelewis6704
@@noorrougelewis6704 then you gotta work on self-improvement there, pushups, squatting, or whatever thing you do at there
@@noorrougelewis6704 you still have yard time where you can socialize. I think seriously having a cell to your own makes it more bearable. That's different from solitary where you dont even get to have yard time.
0:00 I seriously thought it was a split mirror image for a second.
They’re eating better food than most schools in America
My man at the end there more concerned about how dry his soap is than getting out 😂😂
Simply cut and paste from the original producer CNA Insider without crediting them?
7:38 Rusdi Ngawi woilah cik
The fact it’s not “comfy” enough for these guys cracks me up. If you didn’t want to go to jail- don’t break the law!
There's a reason why it's so safe and clean in Singapore! A city only gets taken over by criminals with the consent of its government. Singapore, unlike most of the West, did not give that consent.
This is cool to see
They have better food than my old HS' cafeteria
Trueee I mean, compared to my office food as well
But you have choice to eat something else..
@@pyrimad8 I did. But most don't have that choice. The majority of students are using the free lunch program because they are in financial need. For some its their only meal. A sad reality in the US
Ok drop the soap brand pls 😂 bro is doing product review prison version
the prisoners seem so chill for being in a literal metal box
honestly norway and singapore have the same prison vibe honestly
must be pretty good there
And yet so many white people complaining
Lol no
Well done
The guys look so healthy, clean and handsome
They probably made them clean and shave and look presentable before any outside cameras were allowed in
Does that turn you on?
@@arguedscarab7985Watching the video, that dude was a fitness trainer, obviously he still works out while in there.
TV is required 😂😂
Just like Amos Yee who is enjoying the life in America for being himself. ❤
Amos yee expriencing liberal and free prison labour
I just like how you took a video from cna insider and call it yours
did this channel just download and upload CNA Insider's video as their own?
Singapore is a beautiful country. I highly recommend visiting there.
Do u recommend going to prison as well?
@ Nice name
Compared to South America jails, this is paradise.
The two prisoners laughing in the beginning of the video were laughing like they were in a tv show not prison.
2:27 rip that guys apple on the ground
This looks like the setting for a "Genius escapes prison" movie
That toothbrush is long enough to be an effective shank
you would know.
It’s like school food different food every day😂😂😂😂😂😂 2:01
Worst part of prison must be the prison part…
1 person very honest...their team said keep food perfectly to keep warm 😂
A budget hotel room in Singapore is literally the same size as these prison cells. The only difference is that you get a comfortable bed and a western toilet 😂
And you can get out whenever 😅
Smiling and happy, no one with their heads in their cellphones -- just living in the moment.
All fun and games up until yall get the whip lashing lol
Such strict conditions for just drug consumption?
Yes coz acc to Singaporean philosophy, murder etc. affects one person. Drugs on the other hand affects an entire community. It causes the deaths of all the souls of the people who consume it(addicts basically). There's an interview of the Singaporean leader who implemented this. I forget his name tho
I do appreciate that the kitchen caters to 6 to 8 different diets.
After watching the Toughest Prisons In The World series, the Singaporean max prison is like 5-star hotel compared to them.
They eat better than I do, and I’m a free man! 🤨
Really minimalist lifestyle
When you are in prison but you’re just a chill guy
Compared to the Soviet Gulag and the British colony in 19th century Australia, this prison is like a paradise.
Compared to American prisons today this looks like paradise.
😊 TOP SERVICE,
Singapores prisoners have better food than school meals in America 💀
Parents should be making their kids lunches.
@@RezaQinsome parent don’t care/can’t afford 🤷🏻♀️
There is Leonardo on the prison door 😂
This is good to watch it reminds me of a hospital
LJ lah where for mee goreng one.
First guy looks so happy ☺️ Must be in there for chewing gum
My guy just wanted to know what it felt like to chew 5 gum
😂
correction , chewing gum is legal in Singapore , is a common misconception that is illegal , it is illegal if u sell gum in Singapore , consumption of gum is legal
Chewing gum has been legal since the 2000s
@@kaydenchia2121and even so, if a store decides to import and sell gum to their customers and get caught, they’ll likely get off with a warning or a $500 fine if anything. no one’s putting them behind bars 😂
Funny how the UK system doesnt work but you can have a tv, games console and even phones now
And that's why it's safer to walk home at night in Singapore than in London
Clean and tidy. Food Pack properly. Nice clean cell. Definately very comfort jail compare to other country like columbia, peru,philipines, vietnam.
They have chairs elsewhere
@@willmorris5628okay?
Singapore : I'll let yoj choose 8 of prisoner meal.
