The dogs found 269 cell phones in one year sounds to me like you need to take a close look at your staff

I love these prison shows. They help me remember a very important lesson; let it go. You don't need to prove a GD thing, just let it go.

I volunteered in prisons for nearly 20 years. These supermax prisons do not make the public safer. With no programs and no human interaction these inmates literally go insane and there. Most inmates eventually get out of prison. People don't realize this that very few people die in prison. I would rather have inmates that have gone to prisons that are run like a small city where they have opportunities to learn skills and take college classes and other programs so that when they do get out they are safer on the street and less likely to be repeat offenders.

Prisons in the US are BIG business.

It's like living your whole life in a dirty gas station men's room.

2 phones and a charger is CRAZY

11:06 "...a special type of wire, with razor sharp edges" So... razor wire?

Drug dogs are amazing, esp the ones who can phones. That's phenomenal

The security at the prison is so great that they have a cell phone problem. It goes without saying who brings them in.

Yall forgot ADX Florence in Colorado

They forgot to put lotsa sharks in the sea around Alcatraz😂

No prisoner would try to clamber through Razor Wire, not a lot of weight is required to press it down, so they would throw a blanket over the Wire and put their weight on it, pressing the Wire down in order to move across it.

These people don't know about the detention room in my high school. That place was IMPOSSIBLE to get out of.

Prisons always have a possible means of escape. It could be from help from a guard, a helicopter, sneaking out the front door in disguise, taking hostages, hiding inside a vehicle/trash truck, etc. The only exception in places that allow no visitors, no outside rec, and 24/7 surveillance on each prisoner at every moment, such as Colorado Super Max or Guantanamo Bay., but those rare types are the only outliers.

That "special" screw that you can't buy a tool for is called a "Temper resistant Torx" and it's available at Harbor Freight. It really grids my gears when people flat out lie like that, make it seem like it's some sort of proprietary technology to make themselves look good.

Being a prisoner must be horrible. But being a guard is a maggot sandwich too.

As hard and resistant the concrete is, it cannot stand up to seawater which will eventually corrupt the cell.

I never looked at the Tower of London in history and detail, until this video. Thanks for sharing. I am a direct descendant of St. Nicholas Ridley who spent a few years there with Latimer before they were both burned at the stake about 1553.

They wouldn’t like it! I can’t imagine anything worse than being incarcerated

The real truth is that when a nation needs that kind of facilities so much, there is a underlying real problem and not the problem of escaping.

18:41 if there are 300 prisons around the world with the exact same design are they also closed? Is there going to be a documentary on the one that lasts the longest?

I just found this channel and I’m really liking it

Haha I wonder how many of those 'cell block builders' were hardened prisoners once themselves?

Love your amazing graphics! The narration is top notch as well…subscribing now! 😊

What are the worst to maximum security prisons has to be H unit at the Oklahoma State penitentiary it is built underground it also houses the death row unit

Not all prisoners are human. Some are monsters in human for.

The inmates had hot showers so they wouldn’t acclimate to easily to the cold bay water.

This is so well done, very interesting to see how prisons evolve!

The old Alcatraz prisoners seem quaint.

This is a tough joint. Stays on lockdown.

my favourite commentator

In regards to the three that escaped Alcatraz, theres evidence that they all survived and lived to old age and had a normal life. So yes, there were 3 successful escapes from a place claiming its inescapable.

I'm surprised they haven't built a super prison underground like from the movie Fortress.

This is where the boards of big pharma are going to live someday.

How do prisoners charge their smuggled phones and also why aren't cellphone jammers fitted inside each wing?

They should refurbish Alcatraz with all the modern technology of today's Prisons. They should house the worst of the worst inmates here.

I watched someone climb through two fences topped with razor wire , they caught him and the floors they dragged him over were covered with blood.

Saw a movie in which vicious criminals weren't incarcerated for years, but rather were instantly aged to old people and then released, having lost decades of their lives.

How about those loose cables for the tv? Possibly hang oneself?

Couldn't help but smiling in the grimmest moments of the video 😈

But the cell phones don't get there by the prisioners they get there by the guards hello 😅😊

How did 200 plus cell phones get in? Ask the guards themselves.

Okay. How did the man get out of the barbed wire?

As a Mechanical Engineer specializing in building mechanical systems...I was hired a few years ago to design plumbing for an expansion to a Federal Maximum Security Prison in my Canadian Province...it took a couple week's of extra work, to adapt to Federal Prison requirements...oh well, I can now list it as an area that I have experience in...a detail the Fed's consider when hiring for future construction/renovation projects - it's not a common 'area of expertise'. It's secured a few new contracts - so it's something that I've never regretted - that extra work I dealt with...

269 cell phones in one year? Prison guards must make a LOT of money.

That's awesome! Great design 🎉

You can buy the safety bolt head Allen wrenches at any auto parts store.

These barbed wires remind me of France I got stuck in the barbed wire a long time ago in Sangat, I tried to catch the train but I couldn't because it was moving so fast and the guards noticed me, I lost the exit hole. lucky to escape the barbed wire with little damage to the arms and legs😫

Prison napalm is more dangerous than a phone or drugs... Sugar and water heated to boiling. It becomes sticky and is so hot, it causes the akin to become so soft, it comes off with it

GOOD, I like this place for the the monsters we call criminals. If they run out of space there they should build DOWN into the earth.

I like those in the Nordic Countries and Switzerland... Tennis courts, nice parks, ping pong, media rooms, beautifully crafted, posh private suite rooms. Like a good 4-Star hotel... maybe even a little better.

Just watched a documentary on the escape and they have proved that the two brothers actually survived the escape and successfully made it out and free!

Thanks,

So the concrete was ultimately to blame for the closing of Alcatraz....great fact!

There should never be a prisoner that feels safe while he or she is in prison. Never!!

What great design for late 1800’s -----

A guy that was in a federal usp (prison) said that the bars in that prison allegedly have smaller solid loose fitting bars (or solid pipes/coduits) inside the outer hollow bar. So if u do manage to cut threw the outter bar with a saw blade, once the saw blade teeth bite into the inner bar, it will just spin back and forth with the blade and it cant be cut unless u somehow u stop it from moving.

However bad your day is going... just he happy to know that you didn't grow up to be a correctional officer. Lmao... obviously wasn't a written test involved for those featured in this video.

I remember all these cos

@2:32 The daily deadly cat 😺 and mouse 🐭 game.

The war on drugs as a big joke.

being able to escape from a prison is no hallmark of insecurity.

Big AL Capone could've escaped that prison....

Those prisons are so cool 😎 I'm robbing a bank 🏦 to get thrown in one. 😶

Is there anyone else here who has been to Alcatraz?

Fiiiiahh docoo, well deserved for way more followers..you definitely will someday sometime, but you will! 🥰

BUT! they can't keep drugs out of it!

prison would kill me with in a month i can not stand long term confinement

The federal prison system has been privatized and is now a profit motive corporation with the introduction of mandatory sentences. I heard that housing these criminals is costing the federal government some 300 billion dollars per year which is more expensive than the Iraq war at 130 billion. So, 300 billion is nearly a billion dollars a day. We can't afford to continually provide free room and board and showers and 3 meals a day plus weight training to repeat offenders of serious crimes. I do not know what these counties and states pay but I'm a sure it is some 30,000 per year per inmate. So, we are paying 30,000 per year to feed and house criminals compared to social security payments which are 12,000 for the retired and disabled. So, these prison corporations are making huge profits at 30,000 per prisoner. We cannot afford 1.5 trillion dollars every 5 years or 3 trillion dollars per decade, all tax based just to keep dangerous repeat anti social law breakers off the street. So, we are going to have to examine this criminal justice system very closely and make hard decisions as a fiscally responsible state with much more forceful means and new laws and dispose of these multiple appeal processes. Prisons which are extra heavy facilities with reinforced doors and guard payrolls and prisoner expenses are extremely expensive compared to good standardized public housing. Good public housing is far far less expensive than prisons and would serve a much greater need. Good public housing is far less expensive. This prison system is far too expensive. LLXIIX77

Henry Laurent the father of John Laurent, of the Hamilton musical was the only American imprisoned in the Tower

It's funny how they left out the part about how the officer's bring in the contraband.

Nice! Build 2 or 3 more in America. People are getting worse by the year!

Artificial intelligence and robotics (no humans) will manage the prisons.

Thank you for taking the time Philadelphia USA 🇺🇲🕊️❤

What if someone has a mental implant like a metal rod or something like that???

It's indeed a struggle being behind those bars.. But at least they don't have to deal with an unopened pistachio

I believe the problem is that investor's know big bucks in pharmacy. So they invest they shouldn't let people invest in pharmacy. Greed is not good.

They really took every jail known for being hard or impossible to escape and Said ok throw it all together. Very interesting watch !

Subbed 👍🏼

How about home for the majority of our, US gov’t representatives; from the bottom right up to the very top!!!

❤ I ADORE ARCHITECTURE 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

melt the end of ypur tooth brush while its soft press it on to the special screws wait 30 seconds and you have a perfect screwdriver for removing them😂

Imagine concealing your cellphone too deeply on accident, and being an influencer whose phone is on vibrate.

I don't have a lot or a lot going on at the moment , BUT, how many human beings behind the wall you think would trade places with me in a blink or a heartbeat ?

Nothing is impenetrable

0.55 The tower of London was not designed as a prison.

That's correct. Warden Shearin.

Disorderlili cleared to proceed on 100 000

Money is what’s going on ! Rehabilitation joke slavery yes

If I was a criminal in America I know who I would be coming after😂

The toughest maximum-security prison is h unit at Oklahoma State penitentiary

I’m colour blind but are the hands on the wall Brown 😳

Where there is a will theres a way no matter how secure the prison is

9:57 they have computer 🖥 in cells

That's really funny when the man said that's where the board of big farm is going to end up I hope so

the way this mf is praising and admiring and calling these absolute animalistic inhumane prisons masterpieces don’t sit right with me

Two cell phones and a charger up a bum. Omgoodness

The best way ✌️

Where is ADX Florence though...
