A Charlotte Observer investigation found that a hidden world of drugs, sex and gang violence thrives inside North Carolina prisons - and that officers who are paid to prevent such corruption are instead fueling it.
Haha. If you beleive a guard or cop more so over a person without that type of job your the kind of people they love nice and niave heops them get away with it way more. As for the cameras it alteady took mad long for the law for regular cops to have that no way are they gonna with prison guards. If they do im surprised in my state they alo got caught raping all the women on prison and knocking them up and i had a friend unfortunately who ended up in prison and she told me onle some of what theyd do. She was on there from being one of those crazy computer hacker types shes smart but obviously not that smart ending in prison but seems those guards needed prison more than the prisoners. And this guy saying he just became a correctional officer will get to see the buddies he made be the same way 10 times worst then even the murders in prison
This stuff is real. The officers pit people against each other and attempt to keep things unbalanced as a way of preventing the inmates from forming large groups that could work together.
you probably dont care but does anyone know a way to get back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot the password. I love any help you can give me!
@Avery Pedro Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Did u ever witness abusive or criminal behavior from ur co-workers? And if so, what steps, as a tax paid public servant, did u take to enforce the law upon the perpetrators?
I’ll put money on the answer to that question being yes, and none of them do anything about it, the most dangerous gang in our prison system are the employees
If this guy worked on road squad he would rarely be around other co-workers, except maybe in the morning briefing or before they left for work on the highways & when he returned from working on the road.. That would probably be the best position to work as a CO..
"Every 11 hours a officer is assaulted" LMAO! How does that even compare to about 1 or 2 prisoners being beaten every hour in your system? They're not lying about how easy it is to get drugs in there! Instead of driving down the street to hook up, you just walk a few cells down, you're all set! They're right about one thing, prisoners do run the place! But it's usually one or two with money and lots of pull! Guards will treat them like a respected human being, call them "Sir" and do whatever they ask. Guards will not EVER put their hands on them the wrong way! They know if they did they could die for it! The older white woman, she at least is telling some harsh truths! She was the most real part of this whole video! The Warden and the Director of Corrections are just "Politicians" !!!!!!! If you'll notice they say a lot of words to say very little if anything! True Politicians and Snake Oil peddlers! The Colonel Sanders looking retired guard, he tries to make him self sound good. But I'd bet the bank this same guy has stomped and laid boot to many men in his career! Don't fall for his "Poor me" crap! The big young guy (Guard), he sounds like he's just a big over grown kid! Not saying he's a dummy or anything. But he is too naive for this job! The job will either turn him hateful and mean or break him! This whole video was "Scripted"! It was BS!!!!! These so called prisoners either memorized their lines or read a teleprompter! There is soooooooooooooooo much they aren't saying!!!!!! I know some of you are thinking WTF? Why does he say all this? I am the "Oliver Twist" of my time! I was abused from age 3 and ran away at age 10. Got picked up and put into the "System". I never got out of that "System" till I was age 30. I'm 58 today and live a good life. But I have been to 14 foster homes, 5 Detention homes, 3 Boys Schools, 2 group homes. As an adult 5 city jails 6 prisons. I know the "System" literally like the back of my hand inside and out! I know the train loads of money made from jails and prisons the Tax payers fork over! I know the "Politics" involved like the Warden. He's a powerful political entity in his area! He could be a Governor in no time in his Political career! I know about human nature, the mentality of both prisoners and guards as well as the politicians running the place from their end. I know about a thousand different scams involved in prisons and the things we tax payers have to pay for! I'm a man who's been to some very dark and bloody places where there's only one rule - Survive! Our entire Judicial system is working just fine! It is designed to escalate several problems from drugs to human nature and make a profit from it! To keep people "Coming Back" in the name of "Profit"! That's what the "System" is designed to do, make "Profit", and it does this by the train loads just like "Wars" which is designed to make "Profit"! You think "What Profits? We don't see them!" You'd be right! "We" aren't the ones that designed the "System" or run it! The "Government" does and that's who sees all these profits! So from the "Governments" point of view, the "System" works great and banks train loads of money!!!!!!!!! It's from "Our" point of view that the "System" seems to be broken! But "No!" It does exactly what it's designed to do! "Crime" does PAY! It's just that "We" are the Currency in that equation! The Government profits VERY WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Anamosa State Penitentiary is Iowa's largest male prison. About 20 years ago, Warden William Sperfslage converted it into a Hell Hole riddled with non-stop crimes committed by his staff members. From raping inmates and giving birth to their babies, to beating the disabled and killing others by repeat usage of TASER guns, inmates become victims the moment they enter this fortress of darkness. Each year numerous prison officers are caught smuggling drugs, liquor, cell phones, weapons, and many other forms of contraband into this prison. To prevent the public from learning of the crimes being committed by state employees whose salary is paid with their taxes, the prison officials are allowed to resign and face no criminal prosecution. Injustice is widespread in the Iowa Department of Corrections. William Sperfslage should be serving a life sentence in the torture chamber he created. Roger Dunyan and Vernon Isaac were the two most vicious guards.
You said a male prison then u said raping inmates and giving birth to there babies so the males got raped by female guards and y'all didn't stick together to get a couple guards after a few guards get killed the sbi state beaurea of investigation would come in to do a investigation it's internal affairs they look for cases to lock up police and corrupt government officials
I just got out of Raleigh NCCIW. I witnessed an atrocious assault on a VERY YOUNG female inmate there and I would like to speak to someone about what happened.
I did 36 months in NC doc, started at Polk Ci, went to Morrison green clothes, Foothills CI, Hyde, CP(for medical only) Dan River work farm, then to Brown Creek CI. Majority of the time you would have to watch your back around the CO's, witnessed many CO's being active gang members. Fighting inmates in mop closet's just cuz they didn't like them or were jealous of their status on the compound. Majority of the contraband comes in from CO's, Some small things would come in from visitation or inmate workers. But the Cell Phones, Suboxones, packs of Cigarettes, Weed, K2, etc comes from the guards. Hell, inmates in HCON(2 years plus segregation) who were mostly high-ranking gang members were getting cellphones, explain that when no other GP inmate is allowed or goes in HCON...EVER. It's a problem all the way up the chain of command guards, Sgt's, LT's, Majors, Captains, STG Investigators are corrupt. It's wild on the close custody & even Medium compounds. I've been out since 2011 & haven't been back since, only spent a few nights in county. That life is for the suckers & birds💪
I started in 99, left Polk.for Intake, then went to Morrison. I can't remember which yard..aggrey, then bost?? Then went to the Sarge program on the old female yard. Can't remember the name. That drug rehab program was a little more chill,but that shit was wide open in 99-00. I did my last couple months at Sandhills(minimum,green clothes, camp)...got so normality before hitting the streets again. I'm not even from N.C., I'm from New Orleans..we don't even have gangs down here, we get down, just no organizations, A whole culture shock! A heavy lesson to learn at 18-20 years old.
Never saw greens (min custody) till I hit Sandhills...an old TB hospital, that actually had incinerators for bodies in the game room. It was min. custody,but still wild. I got lucky to be a young addict,and classified as such. We saw ambulances and helicopters landing on the big yard.
36 months in NCDOC and you are cocky enough to comment on what u "saw" here? Please, don't make me laugh. You left the system because you were scared from them! Gangster or not, they are all the same to me even now. It is just Bunch of stupidity gathering in the same place. Tell you the truth, i see this everyday and the only emotion i have to them is just LOL without pity. You had the keen mind to find out those Gangster in CO suit, why didn't you step up and speak out the truth but wait until here to disclose? You got mouth to speak out man! Besides, SOP already mentioned NC prison system will terminate those gangster CO immediately once being found. Being silencer like yourself in this case is no such difference of the term called "Banality of Evil" from WW2.
In 2022 there were 9 apparent “suicides” which is abnormally high per the article, but most of these inmates requested protection because they were afraid of other inmates. They never had suicidal tendencies and they ended up hanging themselves. Why would someone ask for protection because they fear of losing their life just to kill themselves. My uncle lost his life in Bertie correctional institution but he was not suicidal. He asked for protection at midnight and when he was last checked was at 4 am? The warden Bruce Hodges stated they do rounds every 40 min but failed to “ check” up on him and then found him dead. They have changed their stories 3 times already and he got irritated that we were asking questions. Please keep spreading the work about these NC prisons. God will bring justice.
Soooo Correctional Officers go through hardships in life and its an excuse to beat on inmates. However, members of society go through hard ships & mess up in life god forbid someone else decide their fate and are in prison for life. Find productive things for them to do the prison system is one of the most if not the most lucrative "businesses" and I said businesses in the world. They profit off of of peoples misfortunes. It's sick we are the solution to our problem.
The prisoners that have made one mistake are in cages, afraid, not being on rehabilitation studies, they don’t deserve to be locked down like animals! C Love
US prisons are private for profit corporations. The CO's who deliberately perpetrate the abuse will eventually reap the benefit, because everything has a return, its just a matter of time.
Except for Central prison, which is far too close to downtown Raleigh and right next to the governor Morehead school for the blind. I attended governor Morehead school and graduated from there back in 2019, if the wind was blowing in the right direction you could hear inmates on the yard.
@@M_bags6463 yes I know that. It is still unnerving to think of how close you are to some people who have done such bad things that they have forfeited their right to live in free society ever again or in some cases forfeited the right to live at all, especially when you are blind. They actually wanted to move our school out of Raleigh to Wilson, which has no resources for blind people, but they wanted to keep the prison there.
People don't realize those lifers in there, that's their home. Naturally, the CO's must obey. What do the inmates that are serving life, have to lose? Nothing. That's why so many prisons are so corrupt. It's sad.
Funny how people that are in prison for being "dirty" to the upmost degree to society are now blaming and crying victim. F*ck that.. Stay out of prison then
This everywhere each state don't want inmates to be treated far. If u don't want no trouble the guards make sure u have trouble. An that's a place were fear is ruler. So they work wit inmates to make it real.
My son was in berty correctional and the warden had the officers to beat my son then I got him moved to butner now the officer have the gangs upset and after him with their allegations I'm a mother that doesn't want to loose her son how can I get him help
Need cameras everywhere, zero blind spots, and higher pay and shorter amount of years for full retirement, it will be expensive, it is a dangerous and high stress job, harsher punishment for corrupt guards.
this whole video is from a maximum Security prison in North Carolina that you respect would be about the same as the West Coast but it is nowhere near as bad when it comes to Pio’s
You don't care how many people wrongfully incarcerated and beat to death neglecting treatment if they get any at all , both sides of OUR SYSTEM SHOULD BE CLEANED UP , GOOD LUCK ON THAT
First thing if an officer has a sexual relationship or is in any way introducing contraband to unit. That officer needs be made example and prosecute it to full amount of the law. This we’ll show all the inmates and staff new or old not to do that or you are going to jail yourself. I’ve seen officer work 20 years then decide have sex with inmates and nothing happened besides officer was about to walk away and resign and, that’s not right. Too many officers are dirty and face not punishment for what they did. Officer bring in cellphones and drugs then get resign like nothing happened because the state or the warden is too worried about making their facility look bad. You make yourself look better by saying hey, this a zero tolerance and and everyone whe decides to not follow the rules will be prosecuted.
In jersey i was only in county jail and saw the officers having sex with the inmates also give em drugs and actually are way worst then the prisoners so i feel they become guards so they can continue their dirty ass life. I have no backround i was in there for something of a traffick ticket that when i had court i was a missing person for a yr prior and there was proof but didnt matter and i live a pretty clean life mostly i dont like trouble so i stay outa trouble but the guards are disgisting and because the other women give em a show when you dont and refuse to do what they want they do punish you for it its nasty all married and have kids and having affairs with the women who get caught being prostitutes there. Just saying anyone who is with a correctional officer in a relationship telling ya to run because i can almost promise they are worst then any prisoner they watch
Robinson county jail need to be looked at there's one officer I know of that tells females inmates if they do sexual activities he will not take them to jail my friend was one he asked
Guess they were definitely not very serious about the one guy think they said was a civilian instructor who sexually assaulted a female inmate. He only received a 3 year sentence for sexually assaulting a woman who is at a selective disadvantage being locked in a cage while at the mercy of the most outrageously vile inhumane and cruel sexual predators imaginable. Someone who has full control and ready access to woman whose rights and freedoms have been already stripped away. Just abominable behavior displayed by people trusted with your care.
I drove by a billboard today proudly advertising $48,000 a year for C.O's. most prisons here in Florida are for profit, no air conditioning, pissed off prisoners because they must work for free a under miserable conditions. I mean who wants to go to prison every day for 48k?
I’m sick to my stomach! It’s beyond sad & to think you employ or trust ones to be professional and know they’re not legit is disheartening!! Addicts? No one wants to be one! When these men may have been one .. then have staff to abuse them & allow them to be abused.. which is worse? Seriously, you don’t the answers? Are you serious? You don’t deserve your job!
Just imagine how the inmates were treated from the 60's down to the 1900's....these inmates today have it great compared to those back then. David Mitchell better know as (robocop) back in the day at 3925 Caldwell unit!
This lady expert says the prision has made a lot of people broken. I thought breaking hard headed strong willed people was the main job of a prision. They wouldn't be in prison if they weren't so head strong and obsessed with breaking the law. These arn't soft core criminals looking to better themselves in a social economic system that penalize them from birth. These are violent individuals whose life choices are built around bullying and victimizing people for the sake of victimizing them. These are the kind of people who need breaking
You don’t know shit. A man pulled a baseball bat out on me and I took it and hit him twice until he was down. I took the bat and left. He called the police and they let me go as my gf was in bed. I went to sleep and woke up to walk out my front door to more cops. He went to press charges at the court house first thing. I bonded right out and hired a paid lawyer who’s now a superior court judge. I lost the case. They say I shouldn’t of swung twice. And they even charged me with theft of his bat because I didn’t leave it beside him but that was dropped as I gave it to my lawyer. Id do the same if presented with the same threat. I trusted the system until I was found guilty of assault with a deadly weapon that wasn’t even mine. My gun was in my car. If I wanted to use a weapon to assault I would’ve just killed the man and dead men don’t speak. Don’t talk about a system you’ve never been apart of. It’s crooked as hell. I’ve seen rapist walk and weed dealers with football number sentences. Sell weed. But you take a child’s innocence you deserve everything and more. Again another example of a bullshit system we call American justice. Something has to change.
@@chandlerwomble5752 I know that's right, I don't know what he's talking about. I've had the same job for 25 years and just because I sold weed on the side don't mean I'm some low life it just means my friends wanted to smoke weed and I just happened to be the person to be able to get it for them.. I think it's truly amazing how these people think people who sell weed and stuff are hardcore criminals even though now the states have all just about legalized it but North Carolina is still one of those old school states that likes to stick their hands in your pocket make you pay taxes on stuff like weed after they seize all your damn property and then put you in crooked courts to take everything else you got before sending you to prison. Born and raised here 42 years now and can honestly say this is one of the most crooked States when it comes to drugs no doubt.
4 years ago video....being a veteran CO in this state, I have a lot of thought after watching this video. and i confirmed that the main reason why they can step up and freely to speak out in this video is because they are no longer working in Central Prison anymore. One thing this video never mention is nobody likes to take this unnecessary risks to deal with "offenders" with the following reasons: 1. COVID happened. we all knew what happen. and prison has no exception. 2. After all those ex-cons being released on the street fueled with hatred against law enforcement because they simply were being arrested from their own stupidity (it is stupid when they knew all those crimes they did were breaking the law and think they can get away with the law.). 3. RU-vid audiences here who were being blind-eye by RU-vid storytellers here. Truth is not what they pursuit here, nope, they want dramatic! 4. Thanks to all those administrative staff who spoiled all those offenders around the state and granting too much unnecessary privilege because they are scared of retaliation from offenders, in another word, they are scared of being assaulted no matter working in prison or on the street. Therefore, according from my observation, the wave of staff shortage was repeatedly already damaging the system and all the officers who showed up in this video resigned from this unfair judgment from those ignorance i mentioned above.
They need to lock prisoners up in solitary confinement. I know there are a lot of people that are against solitary confinement but I'm all for it for certain prisoners that have been convicted of horrific crimes like pedophillia, rape and certain murders. Those kind of people deserve to suffer horrifically. The idea of rehabilitation is ridiculous. Prisons should be about punishment. If I was a prison warden I would make sure I went around to these prisoners cells and remind them about all of the great things they're missing out on by sitting in there. I would tease them that they would get out in a month so they could get their hopes built up only to come crashing down when the day came and I told him that I was just kidding and he would never get out of solitary confinement. To look at that person and see the devastation on their face would give me so much joy I wouldn't be able to keep from laughing in their face. I would look forward to going to work just so I could see them suffer like they deserve.
