THE MOST DANGEROUS PRISONS by STATE in MY OPINION 

THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT AS ALWAYS #loveandloyalty #lockdown23and1

I would choose to do my time in a prison with the highest murder rate, over a prison with the highest sexual assault rate any day.

LMAO I thought my shit froze the first few seconds

Don't forget People don't always go to prison by choices sometimes you can be wrong place wrong time and even can be innocent and end up behind bars

At lee county in South Carolina They left inmates dead in there cell. With roomates alive. Bro. For 6 fucking days

worst place you are locked up ... is where you are locked up

I was a Guard in Arkansas and as I was strip searching an inmate I heard a cell phone ringing. The dude looks at me with them Oh Shit crazy eyes...I called the supervisor and he called for a medial transport unit to take the inmate to the hospital. They fed him MiraLax by the damn pound for about 36 hours until he shit it out. I'm sure he never did that again...

Josh is great he's always in a good mood, it puts me in a good mood.😊

You can barley tell that’s a green screen lol. It really looks like he’s in the middle of a cell block doing a live stream😂

"Let me henceforth with this story" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 this my favorite channel on YT hands down 🤣🤣

My little brother was held for a few months on Death row inside Holman prison/ high security prison. He was almost killed at a low level work release in Loxley Alabama, y'all have probably heard of inmates escaping from Loxley Alabama work release facility. My brother fought for his life for 22 hours straight while holding another inmate hostage but the inmate was already inside of this 2-3 man holding tank. At the time, Another prisoner was trying to catch a transfer bc he had a 30+ year sentence. And had put in for a transfer over 2 years prior to my brother being attacked... this inmate waiting for a transfer found out my brother was getting money, they were all fucking jealous, so this dude figured he'd try n stab my brother or take his life to get transferred immediately. My brother watched all this unfold before his eyes but by this time the crooked cops were paid off and they basically took this inmate out to where they were keeping my brother & was trying to provoke my brother to cuff up n they needed to talk to him about something. My brother barricaded himself in the holding tank and fought for his life for 22 hours straight... he was So scared that he wasn't going to survive that when the cops n inmates walked off to gather their minds on how to get to my brother, my brother took a magic marker and wrote notes to his family down the side of his legs that if anything happened to him and he was killed he wrote officers names along with the inmates name that was trying to kill him. Basically, my brother was telling his family that he loved us and wanted us to know he was fighting for his life... thanking God daily for his fast thinking and quick actions because he definitely would not be home now if he didn't do what he did. He saved his own life by busting a fire extinguisher and spraying the inmate & those crooked ass police officers. That's what caused the emergency alarm to sound bc my brother broke the emergency Glass and sounded it making the other police come see what was up. That night they shipped out my brother to Holman prison where he was housed on death row in a cell by himself n he told me that cell was haunted in the worse possible way. He said that something was pulling on his legs and his body while he was in bed. But he spent remaining of his sentence housed in Holman prison on death row strictly for his own safety.

The door thing is a PTSD thing. I have the same issue after repeated sexual assaults from childhood to early adulthood, living in a 3rd world country, and a few dangerous cities across America. I don’t even like people being behind me. Even now, I’ve got my house like Fort Knox: deadbolts, bars by windows, doors, etc, an alarm system, dogs, cameras from surrounding neighborhors, a very active neighborhood watch (neighbors called the cops when I was showing renters a tour- I don’t rent anymore- but I was actually proud as hell and called my neighbors to say thanks because I appreciated that, they had my back), and I still sleep with a knife or two (working on getting my handgun). I’ve got health issues and know damn well how to turn my various equipment into weapons. I may be paranoid but life’s taught me not to be slacking. If something happens to me it won’t be from something I could’ve prevented.

Hey, can you make a video that's like the opposite of this one? Like the easiest, sweetest states to serve time in (DOC/DPS time, not county jail)... I've served time in the Women's prison system in NC (6 different times, all under one year) over the last 15 years- I am a big fan of your show, and think you're doing a really good thing by educating people on what's really going on in these penitentiaries/ institutions. Keep the videos coming - please and thank you 😘

I was locked up in Alabama for about 4.5 months waiting for extradition to Florida and it has a thick tension...you can feel ot in the air

Thanks for having me on your channel brodi, I'm at 20k subs now and although I do grind on my own for my subs, you helped me take off. 💯

I done time here in Louisiana, all over the state and I knew for sure we would be on the list.

I know this is an old video but I jus wanted you to know that your channel helped me mentally prepare. If only I could put into words just how much it helped me. Thank you my dude! Don’t ever let anyone tell u your work isn’t important!

Great idea to rank the most dangerous states to do time. Can you make a list of the most dangerous joints in each state? Love your content. Keep up the great work

Dude out of all these prison things popping up on RU-vid, I totally respect yours the most. Big time

I’ve never been to prison but I’ve seen more than my fair share of county jails. I’m from South Louisiana. I just did a little 60 day bid in NY outside of Syracuse. The jail up here was like a Four Seasons or a Hilton compared to back home in Louisiana. I know dudes back home that wouldn’t give a fuggggg about getting arrested if the jails down there were like up here in NY. Up here they give you white T’s, socks, underwear, one man cell, as much toilet paper as you need, guards actually control the jail, each pod had a basketball court you can use any time you please, you can use a tablet 2 hrs per day, if there’s a fight the guards actually respond and lock down the whole jail, much less dangerous. Microwave in every pod. You get NONE of that in Louisiana. And in LA if they throw you in the wrong dorm where you don’t know anyone, you might get JUMPED and beat every day and guards will never respond unless you die. Ask me how I know. Hell on earth.

I’ve got a lot of friend that have done time in every prison in SC. Not to mention half of the people I went to school with. The prison system is a revolving door. I’ve heard so many crazy stories. I’m so glad that I dodged that experience 🙏🏽

East coast vs West coast = Would you rather willingly hoop a phone or forcefully hoop a bone?

I love when Josh says “treacherous”.

Aye man, I can say your channel helped me out a lot considering me doing my first and only bid. Keep up with the good work!!!!

I got arrested in Atlanta once for a misdemeanor charge with marijuana and just spent a night in jail then bailed out. just stayed in a cell for 6 hours then moved to another one for a few hours. I was 18 at the time, and I’m 5’8” and average build so I couldn’t tell if the guys were trying to scare me, but I was alone for about an hour, fell asleep, and woke up to a guy who wasn’t cooperating, officers told him to get on the ground because he was squirming all over the place while they took off his cuffs and he said “oh I’ll get on the ground” and face dived into the ground. Next guy that came in was this middle aged white guy that called himself rob banks. A few more middle aged guys came in over the next couple hours, and they were all nice as hell telling me what to expect and telling stories. Next cell i was in was all people my age, one crazy rich white kid, one cool as hell black guy, and a couple Latinos. Was an interesting experience to say the least, but that was all the taste I needed to know I don’t want to be in there for more than a night lol. A night was easy but I’d go insane spending years in there.

If death was a shot caller in Cali he would have the homies hopping ps4s lmao.

That prison in Alabama is called W.C. Holman Correctional Facility. Someone who's done hard time there needs to come on the show!

My ex mother in law was a CO at Lee Correctional in SC. We were shocked when sweet granny told us she took the job. It didn't take long for her to turn into the terminator. Did i mention it's a men's prison? There have been multiple riots and fires there, COs held hostage. Scary place. It's not even the worst in SC.

I appreciate your content my guy. I have done 7 years myself in Minnesota and everytime I listen to you, which I just got put up on you, it makes me much more grateful for my life today.

Death when you hit them with the salute I damn near died laughing “HUH”😂😂😂😂😂

Talkin bout not being the same after comin outta Alabama prison... my dad been out 10yrs and still getting a lil too excited about sum things.

“No I’m not out here doing crime….. pertaining to my name”😂😂😂

My uncle did 8 years in Holman. He said the very first night he saw someone get stabbed to death

Puerto Rico is part of the American penal system too, it’s different down there in prison

Hello Death, I have really enjoyed your videos. I am from New Orleans, and believe it or not I am a 70 year old woman. Never been to prison,But I enjoy hearing about things.

What blows my mind is how many dudes I saw go home and come back. That shit is crazy

save your cheeks, needs to be a t-shirt

South Carolina Prisons are no joke! For real!

We fail as a nation when we neglect and condone treacherous situations like these listed.

I'm surprised New York didn't make that list, but, I'm sure there are reasons. Like so many other youngsters, when I was between 18 and 21, I didn't think I would be afraid to go to Prison at all if it came down to it. It is, of course a lot easier to not fear, what you aren't actually facing, but, after my 1st Son was born, I was terrified of even getting 90 days in Jail. I grew up hanging out with all the wrong people, so, it didn't seem like it would be much, if any, different whether I was around them inside or outside and I did many things that could have resulted in a Prison "Bid", as you call it. After my Son was born, I took a G.E.D. test and started a Community College and started heading the direction of becoming a good provider for my family. When I started taking Law Classes, with the goal of becoming a Defense Attorney, my eyes were opened wide to the realities of the type of insane people who get locked up in many cases. I didn't see a Prison, but, I did view and write reports on hundreds of Felony Trials and I was shocked. I was never afraid to fight, even pick up a bat or something to equal the odds when needed, but, the inmates at a level 4 Prison are like the Major Leaguers of violence, it's a completely different thing to defend yourself in freedom vs Prison, your options are significantly limited in Prison and these guys are ALL up for a fight. I don't know how Jackson Prison in Michigan ranks nationally, but, I have heard and seen enough now to know that I have absolutely zero desire to see first handedly. I've seen dudes who get consecutive life sentences with no chances for Parole not even flinch when getting sentenced. I have seen dudes who look like they have no soul, being led out of the Court Room towards their new Prison home. I can't imagine how anyone wouldn't have fear when they're facing years in a box with Criminal killers who have absolutely nothing to lose by catching one more life sentence.

I'm from SC, only been in lockup one time for simple possession years ago, but I've got old friends that have told me stories about SC prisons and I tell ya what...I damn sure don't wanna go to any of em, no joke

Hell, California san Quentin actually had the band Metallica come perform for then back in like '04

I know it's been a long time since this video was posted, but I am a resident of the number 3 state. Knowing people inside as inmates and as staff members was crazy. It was so bad that the staff that was there quit that night. One of the inmates that was killed was arrested for shooting my older cousin. Karma came back quickly. Inmates are still being killed and prison life will never change. Never thought SC was up in the ranks but that's what it is.

I knew you were going to say Alabama. I did time in Kilby, Holman, and Fountain. It changed me into the man I am today. I'll never commit another crime because of what I experienced in any of the 3 places I named.

I'm not gonna lie when this started I thought my phone froze, but when I looked closer I saw he was reading something

I did 2.5 years in Louisiana DOC. I was 19 when I started my sentence, or "jose" as we call it. What I can tell you about my experience is that slavery is not only still legal here, it's an active money machine for the state and private investors. There isn't much gang activity, more so just cliques of dudes from the hardest projects in New Orleans or Shreveport or baton Rouge. Gangs aren't so much the problem, it's more about race. I'm white, from New Orleans, never really saw much racism until I went to prison. I thought as long as I showed everyone respect, they would show it back. Wrong. Black guys would assume whites were soft or push overs, and would constantly disrespect the entire Caucasian race. I've never been in so many fights in my life. Food is an issue. You will starve if you don't have money to get canteen or commissary. Louisiana is a poor state run by money hungry crooks that profit off slave labor. Your best bet is to try to get out of the parish jail to a state prison where the food is better and bigger portions. Also, unless you're in a bigger facility, don't expect any educational programs or yard time. You're lucky if you go outside at all. I once didn't see the sun for 7 months. We mostly have open dorms as opposed to cell blocks. We still got cells but those are not usually for general population. In DOC, there's no air conditioning. It's fucking hot. Really hot. All those ppl who say they need it to be like 68 degrees with a fan blowing directly on them are in for a rude awakening. You gon learn to sleep sweating or you're gonna be exhausted at work call the next morning. It sucks but you get used to it. Everybody else in human history before electricity did it, you can too you fuckin pansies. There isn't much in terms of weights. But again, if you go to a bigger facility, they got a few weight piles that only go up to 95 lbs. You can get kinda jacked with enough time. I went home 20 lbs heavier. Pure muscle. I was always skinny, but after gaining weight in prison, and continuing to lift after I got out, I now got a little size. I'm up to 180 and ripped. In prison you CANT look frail or like you can't defend yourself. Got some ink on the inside too. It honestly helped me blend in. It's more violent in the smaller jails than the bigger prisons in my opinion. It's mostly black people who get involved in incidents. It is what it is. I didn't make it this way.

I like the way you show respect to people who are watching your channel! Shows you’ve done time. Respect is always #1! Give respect, get or demand respect!

Bruh you got the gift for this shit. I live in Baltimore and there are times I’m up at night with anxiety. Well I tune into your channel and your mild but humorous but serious nature makes me laugh and think and appreciate I’m not locked up no more and it calms me down. Good shit mane❤

I was a level 3 SC prison nurse... It was ROUGH. Saw things I can NEVER unsee!

Been locked up in New Orleans, and it is CRAZY!!

How the hell do inmates go on strike? "We're not serving anymore time until our demands are met"

I sat on a greyhound next to a dude fresh out a dime in arizona, he had no idea everyone had a cell phone

i wonder how many of these are privatized prisons for profit. A comparison between state owned vs. private owned prisons would be interesting see

Cook County Jail in Chicago in the 90s was harder and more dangerous than most Illinois prisons besides maybe Stateville.

My brother did 5 years in prison and he ended up in a place where he had to cut sugar cane in a swamp. He had quite a few thing to say about it.

As I mentioned on another one of your Videos I was in a Jit camp in South Carolina. That shit was treacherous 4sure my guy. Enjoyed this Video as usual!👊🏼✊🏼

Doing time in Colombia, Mexico, Brazil.... a whole other level. In would be cool to get some more international stories.

My great grandfather was the warden of prison that’s now split into fountain and Holman prison. When he was the warden it was one big state pin. It is a huge farm and the prisoners were used to farm the land. They say it was hard work but they ate good back then. Now they are trying to build a private prison here in Atmore Al. I hunt with a warden that just retired from the prison and they aren’t that bad they aren’t riddled with PTSD lol. I never heard of a strike that the guard ls went on. Recently the prisoners used cell phones to shed light on how bad they were being treated. They FaceTimed the news it was a big deal.

22:14 That look Death gave after saying “I dunno why you wanna know my shoe size” 😂😂

i knew we was going to be on this list . i wasn’t thinking #3 but i knew South Carolina would be on here

Still...all of our prisons are resorts compared to Thailand prisons or the black dolphin in Russia lol

Hey Josh! I did a short stay in OCJ in Pontiac MI and let me tell you it was the most nasty fucked up situation, people died and nobody cares about any inmate all are treated like animals I could write a book on my experience and what I've seen

I have been a long time subscriber though first time I have commented ... I would just like to say hello from Redcliffe, Queensland Australia first off and secondly I would just like to say a huge thank you to you Death aka Josh, you have been a great help to help me explain to my 17 year old son how to stay out of jail (prison)!! HUGE THANK YOU TO YOU AGAIN!!

Death, thanks for the breakdown. Guess the list didnt make me feel better or worse its just that Prison.. wherever it is, it is what it is... its prison. Got a bud doing time in Florida Okaloosa CI. I pray for that dudes safety every day . Thanks man as always for keeping it real .

Death you should get a former alcatraz inmate on the channel. That convo would be priceless.

I am honestly happy you lit that cigarette. I am a smoker. Need to quit, but I have been so afraid of losing my life to this virus because of it. You made it, God forbid I get it, but now I know I can too!

Dudes hat game is always on point!

Been off cigs for about 45 days now, you're killing me Death lol

The Rabid squirrel 🐿 that one got me 😂😂😂 had me rolling!!!

Bro, I love the channel. You have some fire content and I can relate to a lot of it. I've done 2 prison bids and have been to 4 different camps. I think it would be cool to see some content on underrated prisons. Prisons that are dangerous that you don't hear much about. I live in Georgia and this is a major incarceration state. Hundreds of prisons here and some serious shit behind a lot of them.

The streets of Louisiana is the same as well. They have gangs just like everybody else it's just not that wide spread. Its every man looking out for their own family.

Got leavenworth RCF for the background 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 looks like Lima Pod

Full length swords in Alabama! Damn that’s crazy!

“I’m saying I got you dog and then I’m out”. 😂

My ass so high the first 12 seconds got me tripping 😂😂😂 I thought my phone was messing up. You didn't move a muscle lmao

I live in Alabama. My uncle and 1st cousin spent several years in Holman. I remember being on the phone with my uncle in the early 2000’s when he called. I was scared just hearing what was going on in the background. I have a classmate I graduated with in Holman for murder now. Ventress and Draper is bad too. Bibb Correctional is about 20 miles from me in my county. Back in the summer they had a murder every week there.My uncle and cousin are both dead but I could probably put you in touch with somebody that’s recently been released from if not Holman one of the other prisons.

Hey man I did 2 years in Alabama I was 21 to 23 I spent 3 months in St Clair it's a max camp it was wild as hell. I made it out safe and sound but my head was a mess for a while. Never went back. 1 and done for me

My dad served about 20 years. 6 of those at brown creek in North Carolina. He said it was called gladiator school. 3 levels. The most secure level was closed because guards would quit due to violence.

Georgia has to be on the list....... especially for anyone who isn't black

I've been here since he made this channel and always been saying repetitively is "I'm here to help educate the uneducated" and that is some wisdom to want to share that with an inexperienced person.

Feguson unit TDC interview OG Percy. You sure to get 500k plus

I respect your hustle bruh. You did your time and now you’re trying to do something better. 🥃🥃🥃

You win the prize for still statue bro lol, thought my connection dropped 🤣

I had a feeling Alabama would be number one. Born and raised here. Thank God I never went to prison

If you ever do time in a jail kids make sure don't forget to sign up for the swimming pool 🏊‍♀️ that's what they told me my fist time in the pen lmao

My late husband was at Rikers Island and served time there, it was in the late 70s and early 80s lot of bad things that happened at the place, I still have my letters from him, I was always afraid for his safety

I knew my home state of Alabama would be number one. I was locked up there so many times!

Would love to see you interview Wes Watson.

Arizona department of corrections! I got 10 years in the ADOC!!!!! Level 3 and up I can’t go any lower to many STG points!!! shout out to mi RAZA!

Like that interview with the guy from Far Rockaway Queens New York, everything he said was official, great interview, keep on doing your thing, believe me, we all support you.

from NC here.. used to live out in hampton VA and denbigh and bad news

I grew up in New Orleans born and raised and ran the streets here it has never been bloods and crips gangs here it's all neighborhoods and when you go to jail or prison you can talk to or be around whoever you want

Living attire can be very dangerous. I once knew a man who was strangled by his own shirt and tie.

Georgia state prisons are pretty rough. I did my time quiet so I didn’t have many problems , but there’s a lot of stabbings

I really enjoy your videos. Very educational and helpful to those that might be going to prison.

When I first got locked up, I was in a processing unit, and when I was ready to transfer out they had a bunch of us in a room w our bags, guard was calling out names and the unit they were going to. It was crazy, none of the guys knew where they were going to spend the next several years until that moment. You could overhear chatter about certain units guys were hoping to avoid.. One guy in particular, guard called his name, then said the unit, it looked as if he found out he was dying. Life rushed from his face. Fear and pain took it's place.. I'll never forget it. I've always assumed he had been well versed in the TX prison system and knew what he was about to be thrown into. I faintly remember the name of the unit, if I hear it again I'll try n remember to post it.

"When I think of Louisiana I think of lil Wayne. And Ugh" lmfao

I'm a father of twin boys (19yo) that are about to be sent to PRISON. My heart is completely broken.....How and what is the best way to support my boys...FLORIDA

Thanks for the video/list. All deserving prisons for the list. Here's my list for Indiana. There are 4 notoriously dangerous prisons I know of here. Pendleton [Adult (behind the wall)], Indiana State prison [North prison (Michigan City)], Wabash Valley (mid-high security sections), Miami County.

I have, fortunately, never been to prison but I often wonder if it is something that a lot of people (including myself) would benefit from the experience. I think people might change their everyday behavior if there was a real possibility they might get stabbed or sexually assaulted as a consequence.
