50 Things Nobody Tells You About Being in Prison

I was in and out of prison from the age of 15 till 21. Until my daughter was born. I swore id never go back after having my first child. And now im 44 and never have been back. Its amazing how having a daughter or a son can make you grow up real quick

The fact that we get free documentaries on YouTube by Infographics Show is truly a gift 👍

Rest in Peace George Stinney. No child should have had to endure that. He was in the electric chair for 8 minutes before he actually passed and was later found to be innocent. Horrible terrible story

People talk about 'rehabilitation' and giving prisoners a skill they can use on the outside, but the fact is, most people would never dream of giving a convicted felon a job. I remember a story of a guy who spent 25 years inside, and was a model prisoner; earned two Masters degrees (computer programming and design) inside, and couldnt find a job outside other than shoveling sh** on a farm. Its no wonder that some of these guys creep back to old habits. Cant be a productive member of society if that society wont allow them to.

I was 45 years old no record Pulled over by crooked hernando county sheriffs beaten and jailed. I took a plea cause I couldn’t miss work. It can happen to anyone. Trust me

I did a 15 year bid in the FL doc, and I can say ur list of do's and don't, and the myth about gang recruitment was dead on. The reason I respect ur team is because u do ur research, even admitting when ur basing ur knowledge around other online content. And ur skeptical mind. Keep educating the people.

In the UK there have been cases where convictions have been overturned after decades, compensation has been awarded and the ex prisoner has been subsequently billed for food and lodgings for the duration of their incarceration as a way for the state to claw back the compensation money. Its absolute madness.

I've been to prison 4 times between ages 19 and 24 always drug and alcohol related. Then I would get out, be on probation, fail a urine test and be right back in. It is definitely a revolving door and the rehabilitation services just weren't there unless you were wealthy. I had to figure out my addiction problem on my on to break the cycle but I'm now 41, sober and proud father and full time employee. If more resources were available then many would be able to accomplish with help what I had to do on my own.

I think more prisons should grow their own foods. I also think they need to teach the men & women life skills, if they don’t already have a trade or profession, so when they get out of jail they can get a good job. Teach the people how to be prominent citizens of their country also.

I served 5 years in federal prison and can tell you it was a wild ride for sure. So much you have to learn and take in. Not a place to be for anyone. Was interesting and informative to watch. Great video

That statement is SOOO true! ... "The rich make mistakes, the poor go to prison! 💯😢

It’s what you make out of it. There are times I want to give up, but the memories of being in Prison reel me back to reality. Life is horrible right now, but being able to go outside whenever I want and do whatever I want beats waking up every morning at 3 am to get ready for chow and watching my surroundings every single step I take. I learned a lot there, and it helped me become a better man ultimately. Like I said before, it's what you make out of it. Just because you're a felon doesn't mean you can't get a great job. Keep your head up and stay concentrated.

How can someone dislike this he was so dedicated to making this video he committed tax fraud and was sentenced to 15 years of prison just to verify the facts and secrets

Larry’s gonna have a field day with this one

As a Correctional Officer I respect the research you have done on this subject. Not many people understand what it's like to live. Or work in a Correctional setting.

Before I knew I had PTSD and bipolar, I was working part time while attending two universities full time. I had a medicine-induced psychosis accompanied with amnesia after being pulled over for a stop sign 🛑 violation. I black out and become non-compliant. I never punched pushed or touched either of the two officers. Although they pepper sprayed my right eye so close that it’s permanently bruised. I had both of the cops on my back while walking down the street. I come to and realize omgosh what is happening and I have a panic attack. I eventually try to pass out but can’t. When I wake up, I’m being arrested and I’m clueless about what just happened. Even though a doctor proved it was due to medicine, one of the universities I was attending kicked me out. They charged me with a felony assault on a police officer. Although a doctor determined it was medicine induced psychosis, I had to take a plea instead of fight for the truth because it was too much of a risk if I lost. I have no previous record. I’m a law-abiding veteran and man of God. The system is rigged.

Hard time for drug abuse is one of the most absurd aspects of modern society. We punish people for addiction

This guy never fails to give u entertainment and education at the same time.

George Stinney's story crushes my soul. That poor kid. How.

I was really surprised how accurate all of this is. Great job researching and spreading legit information.
