An inmate in my country made a smart escape. He take a soap and shaped it to a small gun using a rock and he painted using Black Shoe Kiwi (you know the thing they put on shoes to make it more shinny) and he went to the main gate. He told the guard he was just looking around until he grabbed the guard from back and pointed the soap shaped gun at the guard's stomach. The guard saw it and think it was a real gun. He force the guard to open the gate and got away easily .

@vanhattfield8292 2 года назад

I worked in several prisons in the US in the 90's and by far the most used and effective weapon I seen used was a "lock in a sock" followed closedly by the handle of a mop bucket (the part used to force the excess water from the wet mop).

@commanderbeepo8066 2 года назад

@buyerenogurlfwendo2106 Год назад

Putting a lock in the sock is actually pretty amateur. You’re suppose to tie the sock around the u loop. If the lock is actually in the sock then you’re more likely to damage the threads

@rosskennedy1960 12 дней назад

Actually, if you tie the sock in the "U" loop, the lock will open and come untied. Most "lock in sock" used a doubled sock and was very effective

@rosskennedy1960 12 дней назад

@buyerenogurlfwendo2106 not actually true. Tying lock to sock could cause lock to open and you lose your lock. Most convicts used a doubled sock with lock inside

I also like the fact that Simple Histories is very informative, and it has a lot of interesting facts about history. But I think it would be even more interesting if it had more jokes, and if it was more sarcastic. Like, for example, it could say "Hey, did you know that in ancient times, people used to think that the world was flat? Ha ha, silly humans!" Stuff like that.

Shivs usually come in 2 varieties: defense or wounding which are usually slashing types or killing which are stabbing types. Though they can be used interchangeably because beggars cant be choosers. Use what you can get your hands on for whatever you need it for

They lit up the tip, and fired the improvised crossbow. My grandfather managed to get out unscaved, but his comrade had gotten doused, and was lit ablaze.

Zip guns aren't just a prison weapon. My grandfather used zip guns in the 50s he used a slam shotgun version were you can either slam it against a wall or push it really hard with your hands so it goes off. And they also used a pen gun variant of the zip gun so it could be easily hidden in his pockets. My dad told me about this after my grandfather had passed away because i was just barely getting into lowriders and oldies and stuff like that and he was into that type of stuff in highschool aswell

In the Philippines, the inmates of New Bilibid prison has handmade knives to high caliber weapons. Each prison inspection/raid always yield pistols to automatic weapons. Honestly i'm amazed that prison riots aren't that common with this kind of arsenals. Though i would like to point out that most of the drug lord or high profile criminals are kept here. So there was a lot of bribery and corruption. Heck some of the inmates cell had air-conditioning, dance pole for when they brought in hookers, bar, and other amenities you wouldn't usually find in a third world prison.

When i was in middle school i learned how to make a mini crossbow out of 8 pencils, 9 rubber bands, and a broken bic pen. It used the pen ink cartridges and tip as bolts and could fire up to 10 feet for effective range. I never got caught with it but it was pretty easy for it to break whenever the rubberband made the pencils slip off the grip.

The prison that I worked in for 3 years is where I saw the most disgusting side of humanity and the most amazing people who if they used their evil powers for good they would have gone far in life. We found home made taser!from a cell phone and a iPod. Blow guns and shanks. There is always crazy stuff that they come up with.

When i was in prison we had literally no personal belongings except books (not even metal glasses, we had to be issued new plastic ones and they did not care if you were blind). The main weapon used at the time i was there (they guards would ban or reform things so its probably something else now) were generic athsma pumps that were squashed, folded and sharpened on rough concrete to a tip.

@silkroad1201 Год назад

So what you're saying is, prisoners are smart enough to make lethal weapons from nothing, but too dumb to grow up and be a decent member of society so they can have somewhat of a life

@reconscout2238 Год назад

There is such thing as society and the goverment itself is corrupt

@ThatGuy-nc6wg 2 года назад

You forgot one of the most common weapons inmates in prison use. The Lock and Sock. A standard issue stretched prison sock tied to a standard canteen combination lock. Can be very deadly if struck in just the right spot. (Generally the face and head area). It's basically a short rope with a 1/4 Lb. Steel ball at the end.

@trout717oboeplayer9 2 года назад

One other weapon that I heard of was a plastic bag filled with water and the inmate would drop the bag with water from a high place in the prison and the force of the water filled bag hitting the ground or some unfortunate person's head was roughly equivalent to dropping 2-3 bowling balls.

I made a working set of darts in jail, using a thick paperclip straightened, snapped to size, sharpened on concrete, slipped into a plastic tube from a q tip , which gave it a thicker grip, then used paper and tape to make the flights - they worked really well.

@GeorgeCowsert 2 года назад

This right here presents a simple question: if prison isn't enough to keep people from engineering deadly weapons, why should we trust the law to keep deadly weapons out of the hands of people outside of prison? If anything the crude nature of improvised weapons are more cruel than professionally manufactured ones, as improvised weapons have a high risk of getting their victim infected with something.

i work in a prison and ive seen shanks made of everything and anything you can ever imagine, even plastic out of the back of a small fan. they put them in there small kettle and slowly melt the plastic over time and form it into a blade, sharpen it, and then they will even mould handles. they like materials like this because it can go through the metal detector. there innovative thats for sure

I could see a cool video game in the style of Manhunt. An lone inmate has to sneak around a huge prison island that was been overturned, fighting off any enemy inmates with these make shift weapons. Parts for the weapons would have to be found around the island.
