Origin of Everything is a show about the undertold histories and cultural dialogues that make up our collective story. From the food we eat, to the trivia and fun facts we can’t seem to get out of our heads, to the social issues we can’t stop debating, everything around us has a history. Origin of Everything is here to explore it all. We like to think that no topic is too small or too challenging to get started.

WHENEVER THIS GOVERNMENT FAILS......IT IS THE DUTY OF THE PEOPLE TO ABOLISH IT AND START A NEW ONE. Everyone agrees. We are so far gone that THEY will try military action against a peaceful abolishment. They'll use false flags. No matter what, they won't want to give up the system that is hell bent on making it a two class system. I will put away my disgust for Donald Trump to join hands with his supporters. They've been inside my house. It's true. They left a door open that ALWAYS stays closed just to show me they could reach me. Of course they can reach me. But they can't kill us all.

A big factor in the increase in prisons, prisoners and private prisons was a 1992 report entitled "The Case For More Incarceration" that used bogus or manipulated data and now discredited theories, made the arguments that imprisoning more people reduces crime and that there should be less parole and harsher sentencing as well as more offenses being subject to prison sentences. The report greatly influenced policies such as mandatory max sentencing and "3 strikes" rules and also influenced the notorious 1994 "Crime Bill" That report was authored by a shady, insidious and notorious figure in US law enforcement with several stints as A.G., the ignoble Bill Barr. Yes, THAT guy.

I work in a mental health facility in a VERY red state. I also work most often in the ICU of our hospital, what I call the high risk ward. These are patients with more serious mental disorders such as schizophrenia, rapid cycling bipolar disorder, and Frontal lobe TBI (traumatic brain injuries). Another common issue are people who took spice, which was first meant to be a pot substitute, but has morphed into a drug that can permanently damage the users brain. Being in the field, what I see most often is people leave the hospital because they have reached their baseline. Basically, they aren't going to get any better than they already are. They are not able to function in the world with the disorder they have, but have no other option but to be released. They are usually caught doing something that got them brought to the hospital last time, but this time, they are going to prison. We live in a society that doesn't seem to see a difference between the actions of a mentally ill person, and a person trying to cause trouble. These people, most very good people who are also very sick, spend their lives bouncing between mental hospitals and prisons. We have no other places for them. They are a part of our society we seem to seen as valueless.

@gmanon1181 3 года назад

I got my lesson about the system by getting a traffic ticket that I didn't even deserved to bigin with. We trust the system so much, that we fail to question it even in the event when it turns against us, unless if it's too obvious. Most people declare themselves guilty and pay the fine. Or hire a lawyer to represent them in court. I would probably had done so. But, I didn't, and the experience was eye opening. Later, I even record that the person who hitted my car wasn't even the same I saw in court. By the way, it wasn't even a real accident, but a car crash in a parking lot where my car was the one most affected at the right front. I saw depressing stories of people not able to pay fines and being sent to jail. Hopefully things had changed since then.

Wonderful! This was fascinating! Please do a separate one on mental health care. I remember when all of the state facilities were closed (1980s?). I volunteered in a ‘halfway’ [they could never survive without special care] house for severely impaired people. They were given a chance at a family like setting. I also helped out at an ‘equine therapy’ facility [horses are a wonderful way of soothing frightened people].

@Chernobylii 5 лет назад

I think it would be amazing to talk about the shift of mental health care from institutions to community-based supports, highlighting the intent of the Community Mental Health Act of 1963 (props to JFK) and its actualization over the past 56 years. The issue being that there has been a decrease in funding and prioritization for community based programs and a great number of people who need our community's support are either imprisoned as a result of their mental illness or don't have the supports available to be successful. For example, we have a regional center in our community that struggles to find enough facilities to discharge its patients after they are rehabilitated and ready to discharge.

State mental institutions in Texas at least share funds with the state prison system. We got the same food, soap, laundry detergent, clothes. We also had commissary and canteen, and most of the LVN's and staff watching each ward were former correctional officers. Patients who had been to both said it is very much "prison without the guards".

@@jessicah3450 when they were released in the 80s, many people couldn’t cope with outside society (they’d never been taught how) and ended up in the prison system. I guess it’s similar to Texas but I think worse, as the former patients were mixed into the prison population. The private prisons were well poised to make a lot of money with the expanded population.

The war on drugs, in my opinion, was just an exemption of Jim Crow and it was our own government that flooded LA with crack to fund their contra wars. They knew minorities would be hardest affected. It all comes down to greed and maintaining control. The private prisons might be a small percentage of overall prisons but they make billions in profit so they spend millions to lobby. They planned all this when they wrote the clause in the 13th amendment “except as punishment for a crime” unfortunately most people don’t know or don’t care unless they’ve personally been affected in some way

Such a good overview - so glad I discovered your videos! As a reflection on this talk and my professional experience; I believe we need to revise the system. We need a system for helping those with mental illness and addiction problems (since many are one and the same). A system for those who commit non violent crimes to be removed from society and be shepherded/reformed to a healthier and productive way to participate in society before being released - with long term guidance as they re-enter society. Then a separate system for violent criminals and those who have committed serious crimes - that in order to protect society they need to be separated . I would hope that the government and private sector can work together to bring about change.

@tomwessling7065 4 года назад

I would be interested to read others thoughts about real solutions to end overuse of incarceration, how we can learn from past mistakes, and what methods currently are showing promising benefits. Too many people turn to drugs and alcohol to self medicate their mental health problems and personal problems. We know this but as health professionals we don’t have adequate resources especially in the low income communities so we must send them back to the environment that makes them sick. We need to stop expecting some nebulous other people or government to solve problems of society - the solutions need to evolve from you and me.

There are 2-3 things that are fundamentally true in the reasons why there are so many people in prison. 1. Education. The way we have been teaching in the last two generations are intrinsically undermining our country and that is by design by the ruling class. We haven’t been teaching by phonics in our language. No language arts classes that teach what a noun, verb or adjective is. How to construct sentences. Writing essays leads to critical thinking. 2. Cursive writing. If you can’t read cursive, you won’t be able to read the original constitution, bill of rights or the amendments. Penmanship is also critical. Next we’ll be back to signing documents with an X. 3. Materialism. Entitlements. Another word for slavery.

If you look up state prisons and in particularly alabama, the wardens get to keep all the extra budgetary money that's not spent on prisoners. They have no incentive to rehabilitate, but only to incarcerate.

This young lady covered why prioritizing prisons is unfair. If a corporation is running the prison, then no one fairs to have good living conditions adequate health care, or fair well in a court system

Countless individuals for whatever reason had and still incorrectly think that jail & prison are the same thing. They aren't the same thing at all. They're two different places with different purposes.

Fun fact the state of Oklahoma has the highest incarceration rate per person in the world. One in every fourty are African American and one in every 140 are white. Historically we have been the state with the highest female incarceration.

As soon as the politicians, FBI, and CIA quit bringing drugs into the country, then there will be fewer drug addicts, drug dealers, and non-violent drug offenders. These prisoners numbers will go down significantly.

The whole point of the 13 amendment exception about involuntary servitude for convicted criminals was undoubtedly put there to allow southern states to have a free labor source.

Look into Turnkey Corrections. It will blow your mind. I watched police and employees get wasted and break so many laws it shocked me. They do this every year as a "event" they literally get wasted and laugh at incarnation.

My Only Thing With Private Prisons Is That If They Are Less That 85% filled The State Have To Pay The Difference and So That Means That Ppl Will Be Or Are Being Sent To Jail For Longer Terms Than They Are Supposed To Or That Ppl Are Receiving False Sentences For The Numbers and That's Not Justice That's Just Greedy and Evil..SMH
