Why Prisons Ban These Everyday Items 

I can't imagine too many prisoners being comfortable enough to sleep wearing an eye mask or ear plugs. That's how you get killed in your sleep.

Prisoner: breathes Guard: that's illegal

Making Dungeons and Dragons stuff out of what you can get in prison is some serious dedication to playing I can respect.

Prisons: Bans some books People: Why? 2b2t: Let me explain it

I'm convinced one of the writers have actually been to prison.

Prisoner: *has gum* Guard: so you chose death

When they invent machines that can read minds, thoughts will become contraband.

This is what school's think we are going to do with gum

Essentially, a number of “everyday items” are banned because they can be dangerous in the hands of prisoners.

Imagine being a guard and finding an inmate with an anime body pillow in their cell.

Bro, imagine chilling with the bois playing a world of darkness werewolf game and then a guard walks in and ruins it

I work at a prison, and one thing i found while doing a shakedown was some homemade Magic the Gathering cards. Turns out there was a a guys that had memorized the art and states for quite a few of the cards from this game and had made cards from snack cake boxes for him and his buddies. So many of us that work as C.O. play Magic, myself included and we were all very impressed with how these homemade cards looked. The inmates got to keep the cards as the shift captain that day also played MTG.

I worked with someone who’s been arrested many times. He said the worst thing he saw (multiple times) was when prisoners would keep waste (fermented) in a bag and would put them half way under a doorway, as the guards would pass they’d jump on the bag, covering a HUGE area. Even I can’t think of something more despicable.

I am convinced that the first time travel machine will not be made in a lab, but instead in a prison because prisoners seem to know how to invent anything

I have played The Escapist and I know exactly why

Nobody: Infographics Show: *Making quarantine better with great content*

But wait a minute, yes, let's assume that the inmate makes the impression of the key, but how is he going to make the actual key? Is he going to melt metal and mold it into a key?

The book 48 laws of power is essentially a book about learning how to manipulate others. I can't imagine how that could be bad in prison

6:04 it’s could be something as simple as hoarding toilet paper. Not in 2020 you don’t

If you get in trouble for eating gum in jail as well then school is just a second jail

Prison: nothing metal or pointy is allowed Handcuffs have left the chat

maximum security prisons in Norway: TV, PC, games, movies, DVD, PS5, physiological therapy, smartphone and keys to your own cell

3:20 "book banning" **2B2T flashbacks**

When I was in prison I was able to get a street size joint, and The Departed AND american hustle came out on DVD that week and the rec coordinator guard rented them. Got high AF and watched two great R rated movies.

Infographics show: what’s so bad about gum? Me, a singaporean; what’s gum

The key thing is definitely a concern. Fun fact in Norway the prisoners are given their own key for their cells (though to be clear this is in lower security ones where you have to earn your way there).

metal and other objects arent allowed in prison wow i never would have known

Prisoner- Reads a hard back book- Guards- So u have chosen death-

Fun fact from a experienced fighter : never wear necklaces in a dangerous place cause if someone fights you, they can strangle you or hold your necklace swinging you around or something similar to that

It’s 1am on a school night, shall I give up or keep pullin an all nighter

The Shawshank Redemption is the greatest movie of all time.

I forgot about golf pencils-they’re the worst to write with 😂

The “partner” is called a feefee and it’s actually made with the cardboard rolls from the toilet paper or paper towels. And yes they’re common 🤣

when i was locked up they gave us these pencils made from rubber that you could bend in half and they wouldnt snap cuz they didnt want shanks beings used

Adults: chewing gum isn’t an everyday object! Middle Schoolers: no, no, yes it is

"Imagine being a prisoner"

"Eerily quiet"? That's a joke. In my cell I had a little alien friend that I made. Upside down Styrofoam cup with two sporks on the sides and one on the top. I used a pencil to give him a face. Named him Blork. I would randomly talk to him. There was a roach living in the pipe of my sink (never actually let him come in though). Named him Pablo. Because of COVID I was held in ISO (isolation). Even seg got more privileges than we had. Not fun at all. SO GLAD to be out. It felt like six months but was just over two weeks.

Playing Dungeons& Dragons in an actual dungeon is irony at it's finest. 🍸🦉

How to be a creative person: 1. Do a very bad thing 2. Go to prison 3. Try to escape 4. Get captured again 5. Get released and you’ll be creative

The "Suzy Love Sock" made the list ! * For those who don't know: Take a rubber/latex glove (which are plentiful in prisons) & insert it into a pair of double upped socks (one inside the other); leave enough of it's wrist to go past the ends of the sock opening; roll the sock inside out just enough so the glove is pulled open to create a tight orifice, and the glove's wrist band secures the resulting tube . Lubricate the inviting opening with either butter, lotion or spit. Attach photo of desired companion to it's 'body', and now you have a 'love sock'. NOTE: If socks aren't available / or insufficient in capacity, a hand towel can be used instead of sock. Fold and roll accordingly. Depending on their quality, they can be traded for commissary at a higher value than the homemade sleep masks. ProTip: presoak the sock/towel in hot water. It will increase Suzy's authenticity. 👌🤜🤛

0:43 Singaporeans: gum is a problem? Totally normal.

prisoner in texas: brings book police officers: *its illegal to read here*

How to make inmates to stop getting contraband permanently: If one inmate have one contraband, every inmate in the whole prison have to listen to 30 mins of baby song such as Baby Shark, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, ABC, Johnny Johnny, etc.

Also, for glasses, you're usually only allowed one pair of prescription glasses and they often can't be tinted.

School suspends kid over poptart that looks like a gun. *What is this jAil because guns are also illegal in jail.*

Welp, boys I'm going to solitary, for what? D&D

"D&D? NERDS!" "First of we are in prison and you are a narc"

Army basic training had the rule of no games, one of our guys made a chess board out of cardboard pieces

as someone who spend time in a psychiatric facility, most of the banned items in prisons were also banned in the psychiatric ward (with a few inclusions like hand sanitizer and pencils/pens(

Me: *listens to this in the background while playing video games* The animators: Am I a joke to you?

Me: the holy book Prison: "bans the holy book" Me: You dare to ban the holy book

Also I should mention this in some states hand sanitizer is not allowed in prisons because it can be made in to drinking alcohol

"book banning" so theprisoners cant even join the world like why would guards do it

Great video and I’m really enjoying the cut down on ads in the videos

Yay thanks for giving a story :)

6:20 "Looks like mine is bigger." That's what he said.....

How to get banned from prison: Turn into a pack of bubblegum

The smiley pillow at the end cracked me up.

Thanks man. I always wished for this video.

1:33 That person looks exactly like me.

6:21 Guard must be compensating for something

"prisoners are making board games like chess etc." me: If he says someone actually made Dungeons and Dragons, I'm gonna- infographics show: "a prisoner said they made Dungeons and Dragons with other inmates" me: I never thought I would want to be imprisoned...

Hmm idk about using a spiral from a notebook for lockpicking. For the most part, those are too weak to even hold tension on a padlock, let alone a cell lock

(Prisoner succeeds to open door with the string) (police officer comes checking the cells and reaches his) 'Officer you forgot to lock the door!'

I did 5 years in Ohio prisons and infographics you're like the only show that actually has the prisons pretty f****** accurate

The second to last story was hilarious!

Never thought I’d hear you say “it’s quite on the cell block”

4:03 imma need to know why

The Dungeons and Dragons prisoner would be me. I love that game!

You can make make melted plastic using a plastic brush/toothbrush and a lighter then replicate a key

"Can I have a pillow?" "Of course here you go." "I love you pillow." "Nope give it back"

I still wonder why do people dislike these type of videos because like if your subscribed than why are you still watching their videos. I love you infographic show keep it up👍👍👍

Infographic show : anything metal and pointy is not allowed Me having a pointy Nose*

These videos do so well in terms of analytics. 45 minutes after upload with 1.3k likes and literally 3 dislikes. That’s amazing.

Fifi's, warm bread wrapped in saran wrap a hole in center. Just put some melted butter in hole and enjoy yourself^^ Also plastic straws, you can bend and melt 5 or 6 of them to make a shaft then melt another 10 of them around that. Sharpen it up and you have a shank.

Why did i totally geek out when I heard Dungeons and Dragons? Any other DMs out there? :)

Before watching this video, I came up with two probable reasons 'everyday' items are banned in prison: 1: Someone got killed. 2: Someone got high.

4:03-4:17 I'm guessing I'm the only one who doesn't know what it means

I have solace knowing that if I ever get locked up, I could at least make a living as a Dungeon Master.

texas: let banned books prison :why texas:because we dont want them to think

Looked at the thumbnail and thought this was about people who were banned from prison 😬

*Give prisoner literally anything* Prisoner: *S h a n k*

You can easily start a fire/flame with chewing gum wrappers as well. This makes Wrigle'ys a proper common contraband currency.

D&D&D: Dungeons and Dragons and Detention

Ive been looking 1 year for a solid D&D party... Guess i gotta commit a few crimes

They get really creative and make elaborate items for family/friends and/or to sell/barter with other inmates for the same reason. ~20-25 years ago my eldest brother bought one of these plastic crosses on necklaces for all of the kids in our family, me included, from a guy in there who made them by melting down old game pieces and other bits of plastic. Idk how he melted them but from what I remember understanding was he would melt the plastic and roll it into strips by hand, overlay 2 pieces to form the shape, smooth it out to get rid of the seams, flatten the ends on a hard surface, and slightly twisted the shaft. I always thought it vIery neat and creative.

Somehow I am always lured back to this channel.

Me In Wales: I wanna go to jail to watch movies and be fed more stuff

6:17 That’s what she said.

8:25 now days the mobs and arians would be in there aswell, its 2020 :D

@5:25 Hardcovers also work as rudimentary body armor.

Glue: *Exists* Prisoner trump: *What is this kind of sorcery*

Wow, Toilet Paper Shank, Now u can use it to fight Covid-19! How genius!

0:29 I like Wriggley’s gum but I prefer Big Red. It’s kinda hard to find that stuff nowadays but you just can’t beat that classic cinnamon flavour

Am feeling not feeling bad any more after being quarantined . Thanks to Infrographics show. 😅

I ALSO GOT INTO TROUBLE WHILE CHEWING GUM WHEN I WAS IN MY SCHOOL 😂😂😂

Whaaaat?! Dungeons and Dragons is awesome!! BE NERDS PROUDLY, GUYS!!

My mom worked in a prison and retired. She has seen it all. I've heard some crazy stories. Once she brought home a toothbrush the inmates get and it was smaller than my pinky finger and they still try to make shanks out of them.

Nice video 👌 Best information

1:33 *VERBOTEN*
