Well the actuall problem here is that America is a 100% capitalist country where only money rules. if it's good for business it will continue like this and not stopp, ever. These horrible prisons in the USA treat humans like animals and are profiting from it. In Europe we have mixed systems with socialist and capitalist traits, and you can definitely tell the difference when looking at the prisons as well as social wellfare systems in these countries. But the USA will never have a system like that cause they are just too afraid of communism.

I don't dispute some of the shadier aspects of this report, but are we meant to sympathize with criminals? They could see their children every day and help pay household bills if they hadn't chosen to break the law. Being in prison should be uncomfortable and a deterrent from returning. I'm sure the families of the people they murdered, or the people they raped, kidnapped or stole from really hope to see their attackers living well in prison.

@Gavin I can only speak from my experience, and that is of someone who grew up in a very poor single parent situation living in terrible parts of town. I had many, many opportunities to take the easy route and profit from illegal activities, but I chose to work hard at school, seek post secondary education, which I paid for myself, and now hold a lucrative career. I had to struggle for everything I've ever achieved and because of my experience I have little sympathy for those who choose crime. I don't think I'm unique at all and I feel everyone can do what I did if they work hard, and due to that I firmly believe we should be very hard on criminals. In saying that, I also don't believe my opinion is the end all be all, and I believe neither is yours, but it is important to have voices from both sides of the coin to temper one another.

@EP the situation you described is incredibly rare in the advent of private prisons, and I’m not saying “take no personal responsibility” but the way we treat prisoners is excessively cruel and does nothing to make them better people who are capable of escaping poverty
Gavin20 日 前
@Gavin Isn't it convenient that so many supposed root causes to sociological issues discount personal responsibility. I guess everyone that made a great life for themselves who originally came from broken homes or grew up in poverty must be superhuman if it's so incredibly hard to do! I wonder why they didn't end up breaking the law if it's not their choice to go down a life of crime. The answer is much more complex than any sweeping statement, but let's not become complacent and give those choosing to actively degrade society a free pass because they don't have a choice, they absolutely do and being in prison is the repercussions of said choice.

It's your lack of legal education to not know the answer to this.. It's also your personal prejudice... In fact, your personal prejudice is one of the main causes prisoners are forced to undue slavery.. Your support for Roe v. Wade to be specific. And see..look at your instant response. Before you even listen to any points, you are already biased and refuse to listen to learn how to correct anything wrong. Amendment XIV Section 4. Before emancipation is slavery ipso facto. A claim on the loss or emancipation of a slave is a continued condition of undue slavery ipso facto. A Constitutional prohibition on defining "person" based on biological characteristics as that was the doctrine of the Superior Race and it was a Resolution of Civil War to have the equal rights of emancipation to the rights of "people". Section 1981 equal rights including white people as "white citizens" have rights that non-emancipated "white people" do not. A preservation of the doctrine of the superior race as "white citizens" not "white people". Rights of "people", as in emancipation to the rights of people, may be suspended in due conviction of a crime. A prisoner has the right of speech, the press, religion, but does not have the right to peaceably assemble..As if it wasn't common sense enough that someone held against their will cannot peaceably assemble.. it's the only right enumerated as rights of "people" in the First Amendment. Rights without enumeration under "people" are universal human rights. Slavery without due conviction is under the commerce clause. The "accused" is the real property of another state..as in..they are really property of a different estate than the state, namely their own and no one else's. And there's no state that would ever question not taxing the real property of another state. Do the math. Common sense.

"Crime shouldn't pay" is such a dumb argument against minimum wage for prisoners. Crime "paying" would imply that by committing the crime you gained something EXTRA. The prisoners would not be making any more money than any minimum wage employee outside of prison, and so would be gaining nothing extra, thus "crime doesn't pay" still applies.

There is way too much if it in the US of putting people in Jail for BS/petty reasons to give the state/private jails paying the state slave labour to raise $$. Pretty clear the system is broken when the US has the biggest incarcerated population per capita in the world. For this, either pay the works min wage or eliminate the costs for things like calls with family, hygeine products and such. Especially messed that people in prison that try to work so they appeal if wrongly convicted can't raise the $$ to do so or if they are only in Jail for unpaid debt/bills they could raise the $$ to pay it off. Any $$ prison systems make off things like calls should go directly to rehab programs to reduce repeat offenders, not tasers. Frick.

"You cant build a family in prison," - literally the point of prison is that you are removed from society and your family due to criminal actions that you have taken or damage/pain you have caused others. Lets not forget the victims of crime, here, who are often left entirely out of the equation and walk alway feeling victimized again by the system, particularly in Canada. Imprisonment is not supposed to be a positive, fulfilling, experience where law abiding taxpayers pay for your meals and care, while you spend the whole day doing nothing. Labour should be mandatory. But also, prisoners should work for minimal earnings in areas that benefit society such as building public infrastructures, while gaining the knowledge that allows them to work in related fields once they get out and systems should be set in place to facilitate that for them instead of making them ineligible to earn honest pay. Thats a nobrainer. But again, prison should not be daycare. In canada, it is and that is a real shame. Prison systems should focus on rehabilitating perpetrators of non-violent crimes and keeping society safe from perpetrators of violent crimes indefinitely.

Slavery re-invented, it's so widespread, they just say they committed a crime when they didn't commit a crime or commited a crime like being poor and not being able to pay a fine, etc. The court is controlled by the police that need and depend on cheap labor. Human trafficking is going on to replenish the cheap labor when needed, but how? In what ways can you think rounding people for a crime to do cheap in prison labor? Do pharmaceutical companies do drug trials in prison? How do police cover up their re-invention of slavery? Is the civil war being undone?

Not paying prisoners the correct wage for work and then selling them things at great markups is a pretty shitty thing to do. If you pay them correctly you can tax them more, and then give them voting rights because some day they will get out and have a vested interest in what that world well be. Plus their work could be unfair competition for actual companies. Private companies should not be involved.

As much as I want to feel bad, I cant. If you go to prison, thats on you, if they're upset about their position, they have no one to blame but themselves. Had multiple uncles who worked in prison and didn't bitch about it when they got out, they got real jobs and had real money. Again if you've ended up in prison its your fault, dont care if its drugs or whatever, and to anyone who wants to argue their mostly non violent drug users, idk if you knew but drugs impact more than the user. My one uncle was robbing houses for drug money. While my other one committed involuntary manslaughter via crashing while on cocaine, both consitered non violent, but still impacted others in ways that can't be forgiven, they should've been punished and were. I remember having to clean the house or do certain things on punishment as a kid. I see no difference in that and being forced to work as a criminal, you're in prison, you're not a free man, serve your punishment and then get back to work.

None of this makes any sense. Not to mention most of the inmates should not even be in prison, the only reason they are is to make money for other people............this upsets me so much

Ideally, manufacturing operations that could carry on without dangerous tools or products could be established in jails, hire inmates at minimum wages while allowing them to learn new skills. On the other hand, part of their salaries would go towards their own upkeeping (small rent, food, clothing). As a motivational tool, prisoners could receive low-level promotions, such as team leader, supervisor, etc. and receive a corresponding pay raise, just like a job on the outside. If well calculated, the prisoners being helped with managing their income, follow a budget, etc., would be able to maintain themselves, help reduce prison costs and leatrn something about what real life is like. That is if the government really wants to reabilitate people and not just punish them.
Idk that sounds pretty illegal. Cutting off all personal contact with their families

As a college rodeo athlete I am here to tell you that many of my friends have payed to play what is known as bull poker in actual rodeos😂
Can't do the time, don't do the crime.
@Gavin >racist >sociology > doesn't look at crime rates >probably fell for the change in meaning of redlining myths from Obama. thealternativehypothesis.org/index.php/2016/04/15/is-the-criminal-justice-system-racist/
@black bear I’m not a sociology major, independent research from trustworthy sources have shown again and again that we have the highest incarceration rate, the highest rate of recidivism, the justice system is deeply racist due to systemic over policing of black and Hispanic communities, over half of our prisoners are nonviolent drug offenders, you’re licking the boot so hard you’re about to swallow it whole
@Gavin >worst in the world www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias/2012/01/120104_mexico_carcel_altamira_tsb large numbers of probations. prison for serious crime, You already wrong in just 2 sentences. What did they teach you in sociology because nice waste of tuition. You didn't got into Criminal Justice?
maybe just dont do slavery LMAO
@black bear I don’t use Twitter, years of sociology research has proven that the American prison system is the worst in the world and increases the rate of crime, conservatives are so incredibly dumb
Since when work will pay ?
We are all slaves it's all a matter of degrees and prison labor is blatant slavery. Keep in mind most of our prisoners don't deserve prison.
It's your lack of legal education to not know the answer to this.. It's also your personal prejudice... In fact, your personal prejudice is one of the main causes prisoners are forced to undue slavery.. Your support for Roe v. Wade to be specific. And see..look at your instant response. Before you even listen to any points, you are already biased and refuse to listen to learn how to correct anything wrong. Amendment XIV Section 4. Before emancipation is slavery ipso facto. A claim on the loss or emancipation of a slave is a continued condition of undue slavery ipso facto. A Constitutional prohibition on defining "person" based on biological characteristics as that was the doctrine of the Superior Race and it was a Resolution of Civil War to have the equal rights of emancipation to the rights of "people". Section 1981 equal rights including white people as "white citizens" have rights that non-emancipated "white people" do not. A preservation of the doctrine of the superior race as "white citizens" not "white people". Rights of "people", as in emancipation to the rights of people, may be suspended in due conviction of a crime. A prisoner has the right of speech, the press, religion, but does not have the right to peaceably assemble..As if it wasn't common sense enough that someone held against their will cannot peaceably assemble.. it's the only right enumerated as rights of "people" in the First Amendment. Rights without enumeration under "people" are universal human rights. Slavery without due conviction is under the commerce clause. The "accused" is the real property of another state..as in..they are really property of a different estate than the state, namely their own and no one else's. And there's no state that would ever question not taxing the real property of another state. Do the math. Common sense.
Oh, fyi..For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction except when? How do you know if a "fetus" is alive? A heart beat? Idk..are you on a remote control and everyone of your reactions is caused by an action? In psychology that is called paranoid schizophrenia.

at least they are making more than college athletes
I wish John Oliver could run for president, I'm not saying that he would win or anything I am just saying that it would be a whole new level of entertainment. I think he knows he wouldn't win and he would just try and have the most outrageous ads for the different candidates. I would absolutely love to see them make one just to make fun of our elections.
"Crime shouldn't pay" is such a dumb argument against minimum wage for prisoners. Crime "paying" would imply that by committing the crime you gained something EXTRA. The prisoners would not be making any more money than any minimum wage employee outside of prison, and so would be gaining nothing extra, thus "crime doesn't pay" still applies.
After watching a lot of these videos I am now of the opinion that America fucking sucks

@black bear Care to show where you found these statistics or have you just made them up on the spot?
>now look at Europe and the rape coverups, terrorism, gang wars, murder rates surpassing US.
its better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt
My “friend” just suggested prison slaves should be a thing. Bad people deserve to be slaves he says. What the fuck is wrong with this man?
@18:15 No the villain in Shawshank wanted to keep Andy in prison because Andy knew about his corruption.
"Crime doesn't pay" okay...but slavery is a crime
It still blows my mind that people are so horrified and embarrassed to talk about something that happens to half the population of the world _every month,_ and sometimes for 1-2 _weeks_ a month. I don't understand how talking about pads or tampons is any different than talking about toilet paper.
How about not committing the crime in the first place
@Gavin . If they commit crimes they need cells.
@Kevin Riddell if we had better mental health treatment for addiction then we would be able to prevent them, these people need doctors, not cells
@Gavin. Unfortunately addicts either commit crimes to pay for the drugs or commit crimes while addicted
@Kevin Riddell have you studied the science of addiction, and doing drugs shouldn’t be a crime, addiction is a disease, not a crime
@Gavin Being poor is no excuse for doing drugs
WEEE I'M BATMAN!! HOW GREAT IS FIGHTING CRIME?!? IT'S GREAT!! I LOVE IT!!! XD
Those straps around the bulls near their hind legs are worth noting, but weren't mentioned here. They cause the bulls pain, and are intended to make the bulls aggressive. There is a metaphor in this somewhere.
the "Land of the Free" sucks shit! Fucking stone age mentallity.
Don’t call it dodgebull either, call it Royal Fling
every time i think america can't suck any more...
There is way too much if it in the US of putting people in Jail for BS/petty reasons to give the state/private jails paying the state slave labour to raise $$. Pretty clear the system is broken when the US has the biggest incarcerated population per capita in the world. For this, either pay the works min wage or eliminate the costs for things like calls with family, hygeine products and such. Especially messed that people in prison that try to work so they appeal if wrongly convicted can't raise the $$ to do so or if they are only in Jail for unpaid debt/bills they could raise the $$ to pay it off. Any $$ prison systems make off things like calls should go directly to rehab programs to reduce repeat offenders, not tasers. Frick.
Contraband is brought in by staff 99% of the time.
GOD....YOU ARE CRAZY PEOPLE !!! i am sorry, but "the purge" does not sound crazy on the US.
"You cant build a family in prison," - literally the point of prison is that you are removed from society and your family due to criminal actions that you have taken or damage/pain you have caused others. Lets not forget the victims of crime, here, who are often left entirely out of the equation and walk alway feeling victimized again by the system, particularly in Canada. Imprisonment is not supposed to be a positive, fulfilling, experience where law abiding taxpayers pay for your meals and care, while you spend the whole day doing nothing. Labour should be mandatory. But also, prisoners should work for minimal earnings in areas that benefit society such as building public infrastructures, while gaining the knowledge that allows them to work in related fields once they get out and systems should be set in place to facilitate that for them instead of making them ineligible to earn honest pay. Thats a nobrainer. But again, prison should not be daycare. In canada, it is and that is a real shame. Prison systems should focus on rehabilitating perpetrators of non-violent crimes and keeping society safe from perpetrators of violent crimes indefinitely.
Slavery re-invented, it's so widespread, they just say they committed a crime when they didn't commit a crime or commited a crime like being poor and not being able to pay a fine, etc. The court is controlled by the police that need and depend on cheap labor. Human trafficking is going on to replenish the cheap labor when needed, but how? In what ways can you think rounding people for a crime to do cheap in prison labor? Do pharmaceutical companies do drug trials in prison? How do police cover up their re-invention of slavery? Is the civil war being undone?
I thought Les Miserables took place in the 19th century...
I feel like I say this every single day: The fuck merica?
its better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt
The fact that there are people enriching themselves of off people ,paying money to see their loved ones sickens me to the core. I really don't know how these absolute assholes of a human being can sleep at night.
Prisoners are lucky they are getting paid at all let alone getting paid more f that they are criminals so f them
@edwin justo people like you are the reason societies fail. Not everyone incarcerated is a violent monster. I would rather live among people who can't pay their fines, than with someone who is quick to resort to slavery, like you.
@The Viewer i agree we should give them the tools to succeed and properly re entry society but getting paid even minimum wage is not one of those tools we should teach them trait jobs that they can do outside like fixing cars or even cooking but again no they are lucky they are getting paid at all they are still criminals so f the idea of them getting paid more
They are people. They are paying for their crimes by being in prison, and for most of them they'll eventually be let out of prison. Shouldn't we give them the tools to do better than what they did before?
Simple answers to complex problems. That is the plight of society. If we’re going to do something, we need to do it correct, not just quickly. There are human lives at stake. Sons and daughters are being dehumanized for the profit of corporations.
I'd be more interested in the median wage, because outliers can skew it way higher. (I'm sure it could also skew it lower, but I really doubt that it would be an issue because so many inmates are paid nothing.)
That Batman bit fucking killed me and I have next to zero idea why 😂
The FOX guys sure have a condescending pompous tone.
Hmmm so prison, punishing the families of prisoners when they didn't commit the crime.
Not paying prisoners the correct wage for work and then selling them things at great markups is a pretty shitty thing to do. If you pay them correctly you can tax them more, and then give them voting rights because some day they will get out and have a vested interest in what that world well be. Plus their work could be unfair competition for actual companies. Private companies should not be involved.
Strange that all those convicts being 'rodeo clowns' were black and and everyone else including the announcers and I'm guessing the majority of the the audience were white. So America... Racism much? 🤦
As much as I want to feel bad, I cant. If you go to prison, thats on you, if they're upset about their position, they have no one to blame but themselves. Had multiple uncles who worked in prison and didn't bitch about it when they got out, they got real jobs and had real money. Again if you've ended up in prison its your fault, dont care if its drugs or whatever, and to anyone who wants to argue their mostly non violent drug users, idk if you knew but drugs impact more than the user. My one uncle was robbing houses for drug money. While my other one committed involuntary manslaughter via crashing while on cocaine, both consitered non violent, but still impacted others in ways that can't be forgiven, they should've been punished and were. I remember having to clean the house or do certain things on punishment as a kid. I see no difference in that and being forced to work as a criminal, you're in prison, you're not a free man, serve your punishment and then get back to work.
So doing one stupid thing out of desperation should screw someone over for their entire life? So are you fine with everyone that made edgy bigoted comments as an older teen being branded as a bigot until they die?
California is starting to let them after the fires
America is such a shitshow... Gosh I'm glad I don't live there :'D
USA USA USA!
your country is lost
We cannot leave Biden and the new senators/congressman alone about this
5:24 why does batman sound Scottish?
A grown ass man, in a high position in one of the worlds most powerful countries is more awkward and squemish about femine hygene products than 13 year old me(i am a guy btw). Jesus fucking christ grow up
money, money, money. It aint funny. These are fuckd up corps.
DONT COMMIT A CRIME! unless you live in Norway. they have instruments and big cells
Humans are human. Criminal. Politicians. Family. Police. Treat them equal. hypocrisy is at the core of America. Inmates do need a pay raise.
Who's here for the Cosby clip?
I beg that when the 2021 Batman movie comes out, a John Oliver dubbed version is also released
Prisoners are fire fighters in USA? Can be USA more unbelievable?
Keeping people in prison beacuse they are so valuable as free workforce is the principle of gulags isn't it? Stalin would be proud of you, America!
I think the inmates should make fare wages to pay for the amount it cost for their imprisonment, that way it does not cost the tax payers and it will also not pay the people in charge of prisons, or the prisons should take the profit made from people sending money to inmates from companies like Jpay to pay for the inmates - or why is there not a non-profit organization helping people send money to inmates that does not cost them $20 for every $50 they send? None of this makes any sense. Not to mention most of the inmates should not even be in prison, the only reason they are is to make money for other people............this upsets me so much
crime doesn’t pay unless you’re a politician
What about giving prisoners a diva cup? It’s re usable and May be cheaper overall than pads or tampons
That'd be a possible good solution to those that want one, but since sanitation is often so bad in there I'd be worried that they couldn't be properly cleaned and would cause infections.
Slave camps. The work camps in mcmurray Are Slightly nicer! The pays better!
I bet executives of those companies ger wet, watching documentaries about german concentration camps. "Making soap an shoes out of dead bodies? Oh yeah!"
Good News: California Inmate Firefighters now get their records expunged upon release and can now be hired as Professional Firefighters
"Its common sense, it's very simple they're slaves!" - that guy probably
Is Batman from Leeds?
I dont think there is a single country on earth better at stealing money from their citizens than the US. The people in charge of the private companies making money off human suffering and the politicians being paid off to allow it should be guillotined
6:58 Red bull gives you wiiiiiiiings!
I think they should get more and especially firefighter should be able to get a job in the field. Man get a job, Mum that doesn'''1 have $6
yup, you need to buy your own toothpaste, deodorant, soap, shampoo, stamps. all kinds of other everyday products. I never had anyone sending me money so I mostly would go without or luckily im a likeable person that had others helping me at least get by. and all this was just waiting for court which I wasn't sentenced to any prison time, was released after court so in other word all that time was for nothing and to top it off the time spent didnt even go towards my fines
California now lets non violent firefighter Inmates have a chance to become real firefighters. A step in the right direction.
Slavery is also a huge part of the chocolate industry: Children are being kidnapped, enslaved, beaten, starved and killed if they try to escape cocoa farms in Ghana 🇬🇭 & Ivory Coast 🇨🇮 boycott & spread the word #blm
In Islam even if you capture an enemy, you must provide them with good food, water, clothing and a safe place. What America is doing to the prisoners and their families is bad. They’ll be severely punished for that in the hear after. This is complete b.s.
do you guys still believe Cosby did it?
of course he did
Holy shit!!! Gladiator slaves!! Invite your buddy’s to enjoy a special entertainment with a possible fun gambling option!!! Not even the bull should be forced to be there!!!!! Ladies best “let it flow, everywhere!!!” Let’s see how fast things change once everything is all “yacky” All I’ve learned is they have too many possibilities making money on screwing you over with a smile. Also everyone should go into crime early on in life to invest in your “prison future” so best go really big!! I’m impressed by everyone staying this calm and taking this heinous disgusting abuse. Start over usa this can not be “the system”
stories like this really make me lose my will to live. they need to be told, but god damn. when i was an edgy 15 year old i thought i hated the world, but only now do i really know what that means.
john should commit to getting rapists, killers and other bums in prison minimum wage
Why?
The next batman NEEDS to have that accent
Why is David Tennant suddenly Batman?
Oh, Bill Cosby, how you violated us all.
Celebrities are so disconnected from reality.
And yet Republicans keep electing them president.
Ideally, manufacturing operations that could carry on without dangerous tools or products could be established in jails, hire inmates at minimum wages while allowing them to learn new skills. On the other hand, part of their salaries would go towards their own upkeeping (small rent, food, clothing). As a motivational tool, prisoners could receive low-level promotions, such as team leader, supervisor, etc. and receive a corresponding pay raise, just like a job on the outside. If well calculated, the prisoners being helped with managing their income, follow a budget, etc., would be able to maintain themselves, help reduce prison costs and leatrn something about what real life is like. That is if the government really wants to reabilitate people and not just punish them.
