“Some inmates aren’t designed to be rehabilitated” Ain’t that the truth
@lisahinton9682
@lisahinton9682 Месяц назад
@JustDatBoi So true, indeed. And there seem to be more and more of that type these days. (And, by the way, you can edit your comment by tapping the three dots in the upper right corner of your comment, so you can add your closing quotation marks.) I like how Warden Mills says that some of them just have a black heart, "..and there wasn't nothin' you could do." So true.

My Husband was Prison Nurse, came from being a Combat medic, EMT, Paramedic, Tech in Hospitals, Etc. He had the respect of inmates, Staff, and the Docs. Not an easy task. He knew his stuff and everyone knew damned well he did. He said the following, 85 per cent are right where they need to be, 10 per cent should be in a Nuthouse, and the other 5 percent shouldn't be there. Other prison workers say his numbers are accurate.

"Warden David Millis had been named as the state warden of the year. Warden Millis’ commitment to professional development, innovation, and fostering a positive work environment has undoubtedly contributed to the success at Craven Correctional Institution,” said Secretary Todd Ishee. “His leadership style, marked by transparency, empathy, and a focus on continuous improvement, has elevated standards and inspired those around him.”

I love that Warden Mills mentioned that he couldn't have done the job all those years without the love and support of his wife. Warden Mills seems very humble, but is clearly a bad-ass in the field in which he worked. Mark, I'd love a part two with this man, telling us more of the stories from those days. I'd also love to hear, even briefly, from his wife in that part two, about what it was like being married to him for all those years. (Imagine the conversation at the dinner table the night that he walked out onto the floor and shot an inmate!) This was a fantastic interview. I'd love more interviews of people who worked/are working in jobs that most of us will never encounter. (I loved the interview of the rock band tour bus driver, for example.)

I when he was talking about that, It made me think about my life. I rescued dogs and all my years, I only had 1, that I called a “hollow dog” It was a odd looking husky, came in all scraped up. Another rescue begged me to take it. They thought it had jumped or been thrown out of a moving car or truck. It was not and would not bond with people or other dogs. It didn’t enjoy petting, would never acknowledge my existence, just looked past me. I kept it at my job (at a vet clinic) 2 nights trying to work with it, bathed it, gave rabies shot, collar & tag. You can usually bound with any dogs while giving it a good bath. Not this one. Doc asked me to get it out because it was trying to wreck his pens. A lightbulb went off in my head that it was a possible “escaper” and that is why they get scratched up”. I didn’t like that thought. That night, I took him to a very secure pen that I had in my barn. The next day, I come home and he had torn up the pen, and clawed through a barn door. Two days go by and I get a call at work about “ we found a dog, can you tell me who owns this rabies tag #” I happened to be a relative 10 miles away. I told him it was this dog I was asked to rescue and he said it killed 6 of his sheep, so he shot it. It all came together for me then. This WAS a hollow dog with a taste for killing. THE OWNER probably tried to keep it locked up, but it was an escape artist. THANKFULLY he was just going to tell the insurance company it was a stray dog and not hold me liable. SOME PEOPLE are like this, they cannot be rehabilitated. Sad but true😓

@@nicholaskoenig3106 life has been very busy in my house and after watch this one, I showed it to wife. I am a musician I have worked in the business from the age of 12, she has a career job but is an empathic insightful creative minded lady. We are caregivers for her Nana who was hospitalized during the pandemic. Nana had a son in his 60s who lived with her all his life but died in 21 after they both got corona with pneumonia and we came to live in with her after she defied doctors by surviving and during these last 2 years we have been through a lot of and seen a lot of people go through soaring highs and deep low points. I had been an hourly maintenance worker so I elected to work out of the house to better care for Nana and last week her Doctor ordered hospice. For any of you convicts that may read this well guys she held it down for me for 6 years and when I got home all my shirts were on the same hangers and my guitars were tuned ok? So there is nothing in this world I won't do for her because she is real and soon, she will be going through the ultimate grief for her the memory of her Nana. Well I have a little home studio and she has never been in the business but I found she can sing like an angel. Actually has perfect pitch so after watching this vid we were about to do song Sunday night when she told me that she has had a dream all her life to do interviews just like the style you have done your series here in. She even said the black and white had been part of the format she imagined. So, we are going to watch them together and I plan to produce them as she will write the question and conduct the interviews. Just wanted to share that because you may not have liked every thing you heard in this interview but you did hear it from the horses mouth as they say and that makes it real. We think it is important and excellent work we are inspired by.

Fascinating man! What a life he has lived. I've been obsessed with true crime since I was a kid, so this is right up my alley. He seems like he was a fair warden. We often hear horror stories about evil, power-drunk, tyrannical wardens, but I believe he probably helped countless inmates in how he treated them. I used to work in a jail and was known as the "mother hen" deputy because of my treating inmates like human beings and not trash. I held them accountable and was firm but never talked down to them like my colleagues and superiors often did. Thanks for this, Mark.

What a very interesting man. I would love to meet him and his wife. I think I could spend all day just listening to the stories. I love the admiration for his wife. I also believe that a child raised in a church going home and loving parents that teach God,patience, respect and how to be a good human. I was raised in a home where my father was a baptist preacher. We moved a lot but I always knew I was loved. I truly believe it molded me into the person I am today. Mark, keep up the great work. Your work is interesting and captivating…nice job and thank you.

I've known three guards and all three seem to lose their humanity after working in the prison system. In conversations with them they tended to get jaded to the point that every inmate belonged there and they were all the same. For a man to spend that many years in a prison and still have ability to know that they are some good in people, is remarkable.
@teejay3272
@teejay3272 Месяц назад
It's absolutely the way that it works. Inside and outside are ENTIRELY different environments. If you don't turn off the outside emotions when you're inside you're a target. And I don't think they were wrong in thinking every person inside belonged there. Or that they were all the same. There's very little choice. Let your guard down and a criminal WILL take advantage. I've done work in prisons and will never, ever walk inside one again. Being an officer is a job that's usually taken by young guys just looking for some money. Usually not a lot of opportunities around where prisons are located. And then they get in and don't leave. And it messes them up. It's a bad, bad world that most don't even think about. No thanks.

In Florida an inmate like that Victor dude would be in a strip cell with no clothes, no bedding and no property for months. Thats why we have the cuff ports close to the floor on DR. All razors have to be returned intact after shaving. You spend 8 months in a cell with nothing not a scrap of paper or clothing you'll never attack an officer again

And he didn’t mind distributing a little kindness if you wanted to mess with him. Or anything that belong to him, which included me my dad, my mom all of us. Love the way this guy thinks.

Regardless of what you think of the Prison system, Warden Mills is an honest hard working Warden. He would of been akin to Tom Hanks in Green Mile. He's been a great asset to The Great State of Tennessee. If you ever get a chance to goto Brushy Mountain Prison here in Tennessee,,GO! It's now a museum, has a Great Restraunt, a Ghost hunt and if you like 4 wheeling, Wind Rock trails run right to the Old Prison. Beautiful country out that way. So much history with Warden David Mills. Great interview Mark! 🇺🇸
