The Atlanta Prison Riot | FULL EPISODE | The FBI Files 

That's exactly why media should not be at active crime scenes. They can't keep their mouths shut.

Obessed with this show!! 🙏🏻 I just saw that James Kallstrom passed away last month 😢 Thank you for an amazing show Jim, Rest in Peace ❤️

And I assume that reporter wasn’t reprimanded because media is never held accountable for their actions

So, those people rioted to stay in american prison rather than be returned home to Cuba. I believe it's all you need to know about Cuba and its regime.

Very well detailed re-enactments. It’s like you’re there. I like documentaries like these because they give you a fair insight of what happened as if you’re going back in time. It’s a great video and channel. 👍🏻👍🏻

RU-vid: *"Hey! It's midnight. Wanna see another round of prison documentaries on your feed?"* Me: *"HELL YEAH!!!"* My Insomnia: *I'm outta here!"*

To the agents commited to maintaining order in a chaotic nation and sacrificing time with family and loved ones. Much respect !!

Great episode of The FBI Files. Keep them coming because they are more interesting than any show today on TV. Love them all! ♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍👍👍👍

I truly despise the news media. They were almost a bigger liability than necessary. Thank goodness in the end cooler heads prevailed, and none of the hostages lost their lives.

just found out Jim Kallstrom passed away. Rest in peace and congrats on an excellent career. My thoughts and prayers are with your family ❤️🙏

The media should have known better. Ten years earlier, reporters infamously broadcast live tactical information during the 1972 Olympics hostage massacre that gave the advantage to the attackers and contributed to even more loss of life.

Watching all the way from South Africa...the real Prison Break...love The FBI Files...keep it up guys...

this proofs very well why the media should be barred from being anywhere near a crisis

Sadly Jim "Nu Yawk awfice" Kallstrom died on July 3, 2021. 78 years old. Rest in peace, Jim! Thanks for being a legend! We'll always remember you. Greetings from Germany.

Aww sorry to hear Jim passed away and my thoughts are with his family x

The federal law enforcement agencies handled this dire and fragile situation in a very very professional manner. What is really worrying was the reporter saying " it seems like they are going to take over the penitentiary ". Reporter should not be allowed to get updates on hostages situation. It's fragile and delicate to deal with aggressive behaviour and ruthless killers. Good job, professionally handled and reviewed. Thanks to the best members of the agencies. 👍👍🙏🙏👏👏

I was in the Federal Bureau of Prisons when this was happening - I was trying to peacefully and quietly serve out a 138 month sentence; which I eventually did. Those Cubans never had it so good - when they were told they were being sent home, they snitched on and turned over Tommy Silvestein to the authorities.

saw the other mini preview , keep up great work

My favorite part is when the main negotiator peaked that corner and saw all those trained professionals with deadly assault rifles strung around their necks. He'd known shit is about to get deadly and there's no foolin'. Amazing effort by this team and everyone involved. Incredible end for everyone

The actors look like they enjoyed doing this re-enactment!

Nice to see one of these incidents that doesn't end in tragedy. It's kinda refreshing in a way.

News media/journalist always seem to do worse things and endanger lives in these extreme situations

This is very interesting to watch and more entertaining than a movie

Great one!!

Its badass seeing the riot recreated. Gives you a small glimpse at the fury of caged men...imagine real life. Witnesses of the PNM riot say it was hell on Earth.

Man these shows are so good

Thanks for the upload 🇨🇺🙂

I've lived north of atlanta my whole life and never once heard about this, good find

Good video got me thru a long work day

This would make a great movie. One of if not the best episodes Of the FBI files I've seen

Good afternoon to all yes my favourite day Saturday because full story now is 4pm here in Saudi..once again many thanks to fbi &you tube. Especially no commercial

This is coupled w two of my favorite things to watch, FBI Files and prison docs!

I love fbi files we all do only one comment i read that our favorite narrator died ☹️😓i dint know am from Kenya

Great Video indeed Watching from Sierra Leone West Africa

Awesome reenactments. I’m addicted now

Jim Kallstrom gone to the "Nu Yawk " office in the sky

Am just glad that it came to a peaceful resolve. Kudos to the FBI!

Sometimes journalits turn the situation from bad to worse

These recreations are better than Hollywood BS and the actors are as good or better than Hollywood actors

Happy new month to everyone God bless you all🙏🙏🙏

I like to watch your show so much!

22:09 - 22:19 God bless the FBI Sausage Rescue Team

Wow thank you for the FBI for good work 🙏🙏🙏🙏

You mean treating the prisoners with respect has some benefits?

Boss Episode!!

this is a certified hood classic

I really felt for those in the hospital 😪😪

I've been watching with captions because of renovation noise in my building. When Coulson was talking about the FBI hostage rescue team it came up as the 'FBI sausage rescue team'. Threw me off for a minute. 😆😂🤣 Now if it was a sausage roll rescue team, Ladbaby would be the first to enlist. 🤣

Prison is a scary place. I’m glad that I’m a law abiding citizen.

This show is addictive From Tx🥰

The look the guy had when he went around the corner & saw the armed men was priceless!! “Oh they’ll only come in with clubs, oh sh#t!!”😂

Good one!! 👍😊👍

You don't get medals from doing time. Prison is hard. It's harder if you have a small family outside waiting for you because at the end of the day your family is doing the time with you. I'm speaking from the heart.. Thank God its all behind me.. Now..

WOW! Sounded like a movie script! Great Job LEO's!

Yay! Something to listen to while i play my video game.

I love how this one tiny old guy is used again and again as one of the Cuban rioters.

Interesting. I told myself I had to watch this tonight

lesson learned, don't provide tvs to prisons

I could tell this was gonna be hot from before it started🏴‍☠️

I saw this when it happened.. I was just a kid. I remember it well

Silverstein off his face was priceless haha

i love watching this kind of videos thank you God that this tensed was solved even it takes more days thank you to all staffed who did there best and RIP to James a condolences to his family😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏

Greetings to the New Yark affice...from Nairobi

Kenyan representative in the house 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

I have watched almost all episodes. I am so much addicted... Please bring new ones. Whats the name of the narrator?? This guy is a genius. South-Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Good morning to everyone hope your doing ok

Good evening ! Looking from Sweden 🇸🇪

It must have been a very terrifying experience for all the prison workers 🤦🏽‍♂️

a thrilling and a success story!! salute to those who are involved in this peaceful event, no bloodshed

Being waiting all day for this

I was just wondering how did these hostages survived 12 days trapped in one cell? Did the Cubans who held them hostage gave them water and food, give them access to the bathroom. It will be interesting to hear their side of the story.

I have watched this day one .. and it was cool 😎 👌 😌 😏

Sorry to hear of MR. KALLSTROMS passing. My prayers go out to the family. I thought I had seen all these programs. But not this one. Incredible! Thanks Job well done.

That Bureau of Prisons employee was absolutely correct: if the men they cowardly abandoned in the hospital had been FBI they would have launched a rescue.

I am 70 ears old my grandma got me involved with the FBI Files when i was 14 years old that that was back in the 60's Still watch today

RIP Mr James Keith kallstrom @ jim kallstrom 🙏... Former FBI head of New York office ..

Best episode I ever seen let’s go another one ☝️

Bank Robber Charles Mulligan is now a Delta Force Doctor lol

38:42 their even wearing safety goggles, for some reason this cracked me up.

That's a crazy place. I work with a company that had a GSA contract to repair office equipment. We when in that place to repair some equipment. They were yelling and screaming. This was at the front entrance. I was so glad to leave that day. The one time in my life that I hope nothing would happen while we were in there. This was in 1985. I never went back to that insane place. Never.

Watching from Uganda 🇺🇬 kampala

I herd bout these stories from My OG that died 2014 cuba 🇨🇺 aka Pedro 💯💯💪🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Oh man, it would have been great to be an extra for the prison scenes. I like banging on walls, screaming and throwing stuff in a fire, too!

I remember this as a kid. My dad worked on the Northside of Atlanta and you had to go right by the prison. I remember looking at the front of the building and you could see through the front windows day light from a large smoking hole.

This looks like something out of a movie fr dawg

12 dayss sheesh... On a serious note I hope those prison guards got paid overtime, and time and a/half

They decided not to save the medical staff?

I would be to scared to join in the riot with them. At the end of the day the inmates will not win. The punishment will be very bad for them. But I guess some people really be bout that life lol.

Watching from India kerala

Do more prison riot

I remember this as a kid i lived in a local housing project literally 3 minutes aways I didn't understand the gravity of the situation Englewood manor was a ruff place but it had its good time

Hi I'm Jim kallstrom now head of FBI in sky's

Larry Lawton brought me here!

Do one about The Santa Fe New Mexico prison riot Feb. 2nd 1980 33 died over 100 injured the 2nd worst riot in U.S. history

So Many Errors, I got there a year or so after the riot took place and talked to a lot of those still there - 7:30, at that time of day regular prisoners were free to roam inside their dorms and cell blocks, no 'release' was necessary. 7:50, The Rear Corridor was a junction point which stayed locked unless there was a scheduled move or staff member requiring passage, prisoners were not getting in the Main Corridor or the "main cellblock", there was no "locked just in time". 8:30, outer wall is 3 feet wide, not 3 yards. 9:08, towers 1 and 11 can't see inside the facility. 9:20, officers AND regular staff were being held. 10:20, staff depicted in wrong uniforms throughout. 12:45, any FBI spotters would have been in the towers directly on the wall, not "outside the wall". 13:20, regular guards had no "secure frequency". 15:55, I talked with a guard personally that said Silverstein purposefully protected him, even against Cuban demands, brutal killer yes, but not an "absolute animal". The guard Silverstein did kill picked on him constantly, a huge error for any guard, never make anything personal being the smart rule. 16:35, I never heard anything about Silverstein's 2nd goal being to kill people. 19:20, it's not that FBI couldn't get over the wall undetected, the issue was that the only hospital doorway was 100% in view of the rioters, that would have triggered them. 48:20, not so sure "not harmed in any way" is anywhere accurate. Many staff were physically and mentally brutalized, many left the BOP, and many guards were 'walking wounded', they stayed in the towers and not gen pop. Just my 2 cents, so very glad no more lives were lost. Unending thanks to any and all of those that took part in the efforts toward eventual release.
