9 Most Difficult Prison Regimes in the World

I like how they just jump into the video No petty talk or anything. Just what we came to watch.

I love how they just get to the countdown and don't ramble on for 10 minutes

The narrator has a great voice and that makes the descriptions of the prisons even more terrifying

I was doing 60 days of work crew in the San Juan Islands for possession of marijuana and tested positive for pot on a random drug test. I was taken into custody and put in the Friday Harbor jail which only has 3 cells with 2 bunks each, 10' x12', a steel toilet w/tiny sink, no windows, solid door with an openable slot for food trays, no clock/tv and florescent lighting that is on 24 hours a day. They are considered holding cells and 72 hours is the max stay, you are supposed to be allowed 1 hour outside the cell every 24 hours and a shower after 48 hours. Long story short I was held there 23 days, never let out once, only contact I had was 3x a day the slot opened and a small tv dinner slid in and 30 or so min. later it would open and they would take it back. The only way I could keep track of time or days was by the type of tv dinner I got. On the 23rd day the head Sheriff let me out to wash his car. He said "I hope I can trust you to not run away, you'll be unsupervised" and he walked me outside, got the materials needed and went back inside. As I was washing the car I noticed a deputy behind some bushes trying to hide and watch me and another one inside a coffee shop across the street also watching. I found it humorous because we're on an island and the only way off is by ferry and I had a great job to go back to, a nice 10 acre farm with my 2 horses and 2 llama waiting for me. After finishing I rang the buzzer to get back in and was immediately handcuffed, driven to the airport, put in a Cessna and flown to Coupeville to serve my last 2 weeks. I was released at 5am and let out in shorts and t-shirt into driving rain and 40°. It was 42 miles to the ferry terminal to get home and if I did make it I didnt have money to take the ferry anyway. As I was walking I saw a lady on her porch having a coffee and thought how weird...lol. Watching her as I walked by she called my name? It was a lady I had known on the island a couple years before. That was the best coffee and shower I ever had... She drove me to the ferry terminal, paid my fare, gave me a kiss and drove away. I'll never forget her. I should have sued the Hell out of them but waged a personal war with those responsible that resulted in the Sheriff getting fired along with 2 deputies and another demoted. To some I was a local celebrity and others loathed me. Being locked up with no human contact, no concept of day or night or time is inhumane and pure Hell. It was only 3 weeks but I could see some people losing it in that time. Never been in trouble since and no longer live on the island. In the end it came down to choices I made. I got in trouble, did something stupid and if I hadn't done either of those I would have never been in the position to go through any of it. Think about that before being stupid....

It says a lot when we're pleasantly surprised the countdown starts immediately instead of the constant plugs and intros with sponsorship and begging for likes and subs for the first half of the content. That's getting to be extremely rare nowadays. I'm grateful for it, thanks man.

These are just the ones we here about. The really bad ones are not publicized .

In that Russian prison, the prisonners aren't only blindfolded when they are moved, but the guards also take different routes and detours everytime a prisonner is moved to prevent the prisonners from remembering the prisons lay-out.The prisonners also aren't allowed to talk to eachother, the only time they are allowed to speak is when prisonguards ask them something.And even than they have to answer with only "Yes, sir" or "No, sir"....Other prisons around the world might be much more dangerous (stabbings, murdering, beatings by other prisonners,...) and unhygienic, but that Russian prison is menthal torture.Imagine not being allowed to speak, standing up on your feet 16 hours a day.No TV in the cell, no reading any books or any other way to escape into your mind.Just constantly reminded why you are there and the menthal hell you are undergoing.Time there moves excrusionating slow...and even when you would manage to escape...you are hundreds of miles away from civilisation in freezing Siberian conditions.Temperatures around there average between -20 to -40°C.Hardly survivable in just a prison outfit trying to run hundreds of miles through the Siberian forests before reaching any town or city.Prisonners also aren't allowed to look at the guards, they have to look at the floor so they can't see the guards faces or bodyly features.That prison regime is absolutely brutal !!! That's hell on earth !!!

They just get straight into it! No introduction, or advertising. I'm gonna like this channel.

I hope to never end up in any of these places accidentally or on purpose

The sad part of all this is that not everybody that ends up in one of these prisons is guilty! If they are not guilty when they went in they will become guilty of something from being tortured by everyone around them!

I was in rikers for 90 days 18 years ago. Rikers was very corrupt and the guards ran it all. It wasnt as bad as people say though. All sentenced inmates have 1 year or less . No one is doing anything to jeopardize going home in such a short time.

The concrete furniture in a cell being a “safety” feature is kinda a joke. Concrete is hard, if an inmate wants to harm themself they will

I would definitely choose a year at sea. I have never even seen the inside of a jail, let alone a prison. The idea of being incarcerated horrifies me. I thoroughly enjoy this channel. You supply us with tons of information.

Just found this channel today and I'm already binge watching it. I love how it's straight to the point. Great content.

Love the format of this video. Straight in and to the point. Very refreshing.

This type of editing is always the best. I don't want to see some uneccssary intro or awkward greetings. Excellent job is done right here.

Meanwhile, the inmates at the prison my mom works at get upset when they're not okayed for work release because they assaulted another inmate just that morning.

Recently read a story of a man whom was finally freed after serving what was to be a life sentence for selling $20 weed bag to an undercover cop. A LIFE SENTENCE!!!

I had a cousin who lived just miles from the Florence prison. They said that there at many many signs telling you to not pick up hitch hikers, sirens go off every Monday to test them in case there is a jail break, and most of the time you won’t know until the next day that a prisoner is missing because they don’t tell you.

Can you imagine shackles welded to your hands and feet with a sensory depravation helmet on full time? That makes all the other setups seem like a piece of cake.
