Prison should be humane. But it ain’t supposed to be Club Med.

A convicted drug dealer complaing about drugs in prison seems a little hypocritical.

He’s going to be in prison until 2040??!! Wow.
The biggest message I get without having seen the documentary is “Follow the Law and Stay Out Of Prison!” You don’t want to end up like this.

School kids and Juvie Halls need to show this as a
‘Scared Straight’ type of warning. “Don’t be that Thug!”
It’s not like in the Rap videos.

I dunno man that video looked like a prison in a third world country.

Worse than Rikers.

I don’t even expect prisons to be humane. I’m realistic.

But that’s a few notches below.

Drugs could be sealed off from prisons just as easy as a border wall could be built if people really wanted to.

Payoffs likely abound.

Well, it ain’t like they’re there for a vacation.
If there are problems at the prison, organize the convicts and clean it up or fix it.
Is there mold? Buy a few gallons of bleach and organize a cleaning party. Etc.

Don’t like the accommodations? You should have stayed at home.

“A convicted drug dealer complaing about drugs in prison seems a little hypocritical.”

Hypocritical like havingsomeone who drinks beer all day who then posts about illegal drugs?

The man is doing his time and is probably upset that Prism is worse than the outside and it’s almost impossible to perform when everyone’s all drugged out while being assaulted and raped.

There is no reason for prisons to be dilapidated shitholes. They said the top a ton of free labor. I don’t think inmates would mind working hard to improve their own conditions by doing things such as painting, making minor repairs, gardening, and landscaping. The only reason we find ourselves in the situation is that they will only do prison maintenance through vendor contracts which makes a lot of already rich people richer.

Official stance of the Correctional Facility:

“KILL THE MESSENGER!!”

the existence of drugs in prison is indicative of the helplessness of the WOD

Meant "it’s almost impossible to reform" not "perform".

Starts off the video by desecrating the Bible——cutting it up to hide a cell phone. It’s a freaking prison——what did you expect?

There’s a lot to be said for being ‘law-abiding’ Don’t pull the kinds of stunts that land your a#@ in slam!

It ain’t rocket science, man.

AOC is right now taking on a new cause: What she calls Decarceration (I guess she feels clever to have made up a word) instead of incarceration. Open the prisons, let them all out, people don't belong in cages she says. I'm not kidding.

Then this comes out, how convenient. Democrat plan: felons can vote, all felons let out and dropped off in front of a polling place on Election day.

The prison guards are corrupt as the inmates.

Best idea yet.

Prison is not like you see on TV shows- it’s much much worse.

And guards ... generally not the best humans

We should expect the prison guards to do their job.
