How about putting body cams on Corrections staff? Cause it’s hard to believe either side

This stuff is real. The officers pit people against each other and attempt to keep things unbalanced as a way of preventing the inmates from forming large groups that could work together.

I worked as correctional officer in NC for ten years. I spent the majority of my time on road squad, which I don't think they even have anymore.

The use of the word alleged???wtf is up with that?

"Every 11 hours a officer is assaulted" LMAO! How does that even compare to about 1 or 2 prisoners being beaten every hour in your system? They're not lying about how easy it is to get drugs in there! Instead of driving down the street to hook up, you just walk a few cells down, you're all set! They're right about one thing, prisoners do run the place! But it's usually one or two with money and lots of pull! Guards will treat them like a respected human being, call them "Sir" and do whatever they ask. Guards will not EVER put their hands on them the wrong way! They know if they did they could die for it! The older white woman, she at least is telling some harsh truths! She was the most real part of this whole video! The Warden and the Director of Corrections are just "Politicians" !!!!!!! If you'll notice they say a lot of words to say very little if anything! True Politicians and Snake Oil peddlers! The Colonel Sanders looking retired guard, he tries to make him self sound good. But I'd bet the bank this same guy has stomped and laid boot to many men in his career! Don't fall for his "Poor me" crap! The big young guy (Guard), he sounds like he's just a big over grown kid! Not saying he's a dummy or anything. But he is too naive for this job! The job will either turn him hateful and mean or break him! This whole video was "Scripted"! It was BS!!!!! These so called prisoners either memorized their lines or read a teleprompter! There is soooooooooooooooo much they aren't saying!!!!!! I know some of you are thinking WTF? Why does he say all this? I am the "Oliver Twist" of my time! I was abused from age 3 and ran away at age 10. Got picked up and put into the "System". I never got out of that "System" till I was age 30. I'm 58 today and live a good life. But I have been to 14 foster homes, 5 Detention homes, 3 Boys Schools, 2 group homes. As an adult 5 city jails 6 prisons. I know the "System" literally like the back of my hand inside and out! I know the train loads of money made from jails and prisons the Tax payers fork over! I know the "Politics" involved like the Warden. He's a powerful political entity in his area! He could be a Governor in no time in his Political career! I know about human nature, the mentality of both prisoners and guards as well as the politicians running the place from their end. I know about a thousand different scams involved in prisons and the things we tax payers have to pay for! I'm a man who's been to some very dark and bloody places where there's only one rule - Survive! Our entire Judicial system is working just fine! It is designed to escalate several problems from drugs to human nature and make a profit from it! To keep people "Coming Back" in the name of "Profit"! That's what the "System" is designed to do, make "Profit", and it does this by the train loads just like "Wars" which is designed to make "Profit"! You think "What Profits? We don't see them!" You'd be right! "We" aren't the ones that designed the "System" or run it! The "Government" does and that's who sees all these profits! So from the "Governments" point of view, the "System" works great and banks train loads of money!!!!!!!!! It's from "Our" point of view that the "System" seems to be broken! But "No!" It does exactly what it's designed to do! "Crime" does PAY! It's just that "We" are the Currency in that equation! The Government profits VERY WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish more people brought to light all the corruption in the NC prison system. Anyone wants to know just ask

I just got out of Raleigh NCCIW. I witnessed an atrocious assault on a VERY YOUNG female inmate there and I would like to speak to someone about what happened.

The Anamosa State Penitentiary is Iowa's largest male prison. About 20 years ago, Warden William Sperfslage converted it into a Hell Hole riddled with non-stop crimes committed by his staff members. From raping inmates and giving birth to their babies, to beating the disabled and killing others by repeat usage of TASER guns, inmates become victims the moment they enter this fortress of darkness. Each year numerous prison officers are caught smuggling drugs, liquor, cell phones, weapons, and many other forms of contraband into this prison. To prevent the public from learning of the crimes being committed by state employees whose salary is paid with their taxes, the prison officials are allowed to resign and face no criminal prosecution. Injustice is widespread in the Iowa Department of Corrections. William Sperfslage should be serving a life sentence in the torture chamber he created. Roger Dunyan and Vernon Isaac were the two most vicious guards.

A gaurd assaulted every 11 hrs, resulting in 500 some cases? Dude must be worse at math than even I am!

I did 36 months in NC doc, started at Polk Ci, went to Morrison green clothes, Foothills CI, Hyde, CP(for medical only) Dan River work farm, then to Brown Creek CI. Majority of the time you would have to watch your back around the CO's, witnessed many CO's being active gang members. Fighting inmates in mop closet's just cuz they didn't like them or were jealous of their status on the compound. Majority of the contraband comes in from CO's, Some small things would come in from visitation or inmate workers. But the Cell Phones, Suboxones, packs of Cigarettes, Weed, K2, etc comes from the guards. Hell, inmates in HCON(2 years plus segregation) who were mostly high-ranking gang members were getting cellphones, explain that when no other GP inmate is allowed or goes in HCON...EVER. It's a problem all the way up the chain of command guards, Sgt's, LT's, Majors, Captains, STG Investigators are corrupt. It's wild on the close custody & even Medium compounds. I've been out since 2011 & haven't been back since, only spent a few nights in county. That life is for the suckers & birds💪

So sad. And of course the abusers will deny any responsibility. Humans smh

I was in New Hanover county jail and went 6 days without a shower on lockdown. It’s actually happened to me twice. Are there not laws against that?

Soooo Correctional Officers go through hardships in life and its an excuse to beat on inmates. However, members of society go through hard ships & mess up in life god forbid someone else decide their fate and are in prison for life. Find productive things for them to do the prison system is one of the most if not the most lucrative "businesses" and I said businesses in the world. They profit off of of peoples misfortunes. It's sick we are the solution to our problem.

And this is why there is a CO shortage bcuz of the bs tht happens wit other COs

Piedmont in Salisbury is a Fuckin Beast

Do a feature on Rivers corrections in wonton. The injustice happening there is it’s own pandemic.

Even the criminals want adequate and honest detention officers.

In North Carolina you can't build prisons near large metro areas because the salary is not competitive with industry in these areas.

US prisons are private for profit corporations. The CO's who deliberately perpetrate the abuse will eventually reap the benefit, because everything has a return, its just a matter of time.

Damn that’s sad, he said the prison systems has become the defacto mental health hospital. The fact he recognizes that is even sad

This stuff go on I was in for 7. Years

People don't realize those lifers in there, that's their home. Naturally, the CO's must obey. What do the inmates that are serving life, have to lose? Nothing. That's why so many prisons are so corrupt. It's sad.

Need to address the bully officers!

I drove by a billboard today proudly advertising $48,000 a year for C.O's. most prisons here in Florida are for profit, no air conditioning, pissed off prisoners because they must work for free a under miserable conditions. I mean who wants to go to prison every day for 48k?

Just imagine how the inmates were treated from the 60's down to the 1900's....these inmates today have it great compared to those back then. David Mitchell better know as (robocop) back in the day at 3925 Caldwell unit!

this whole video is from a maximum Security prison in North Carolina that you respect would be about the same as the West Coast but it is nowhere near as bad when it comes to Pio’s

I worked at Alexander Maximum Security in Taylorsville NC for a year as a traveling nurse. We were given a week of training that includes personal danger awareness. While passing meds to an Inmate thru a window I noticed the nails on his pinky finger, both left and right, were approx 1 1/2 to two inches long..filed to a sharp point. He could remove an eyeball in less than 15 seconds if he wanted to. Another had long dreads, waist length. To me, that would pose a risk of strangulation of another inmate if desired. When I asked security officer about my observations, he said that by law, prison officials can not require an inmate to cut his hair, trim their nails, bathe, etc... Oh well. Another thing that made me curious was why they would paint the segregation unit red. Everything..doors, walls, bars on enclosures and doorways. Red is considered to be the most stress inducing color. Those moved to segregation are ones exhibiting violent and aggressive behaviors. Go figure. It was an unsettling place to work.

Oh enough resources to write about criminals but not about child sexual abuse not being investigated nor prosecuted

This everywhere each state don't want inmates to be treated far. If u don't want no trouble the guards make sure u have trouble. An that's a place were fear is ruler. So they work wit inmates to make it real.

That happens in every prison in the world. 100% The screws are human too, and are open to break the law for a price.

Inmates been running prisons she said they come out more angry and broken

He likes having a grown up job and being recognized as law enforcement?? In truth he's a babysitter at an adult day care

Need cameras everywhere, zero blind spots, and higher pay and shorter amount of years for full retirement, it will be expensive, it is a dangerous and high stress job, harsher punishment for corrupt guards.

NC is the pinnacle of PS OFFICIAL!!

My son was in berty correctional and the warden had the officers to beat my son then I got him moved to butner now the officer have the gangs upset and after him with their allegations I'm a mother that doesn't want to loose her son how can I get him help

I’m from Maryland and had always heard about crooked CO in NC

I am an NC CO and leaving real soon. Been planning my exit strategy for years. Cashing out and going Galt.

The guards made them eat hot sauce? 😂 Is this for real?

I'd be in so much pain maaaannnn. Smoking isn't going to help with that

What goes around comes around!!!

I've been their at Central 1987 with a 10 year sentence.

In jersey i was only in county jail and saw the officers having sex with the inmates also give em drugs and actually are way worst then the prisoners so i feel they become guards so they can continue their dirty ass life. I have no backround i was in there for something of a traffick ticket that when i had court i was a missing person for a yr prior and there was proof but didnt matter and i live a pretty clean life mostly i dont like trouble so i stay outa trouble but the guards are disgisting and because the other women give em a show when you dont and refuse to do what they want they do punish you for it its nasty all married and have kids and having affairs with the women who get caught being prostitutes there. Just saying anyone who is with a correctional officer in a relationship telling ya to run because i can almost promise they are worst then any prisoner they watch

I remember when Nc has cash camps. 40 dollar max every week. Loanshark get your money up mail it home send it back 😂😂😂

Guess they were definitely not very serious about the one guy think they said was a civilian instructor who sexually assaulted a female inmate. He only received a 3 year sentence for sexually assaulting a woman who is at a selective disadvantage being locked in a cage while at the mercy of the most outrageously vile inhumane and cruel sexual predators imaginable. Someone who has full control and ready access to woman whose rights and freedoms have been already stripped away. Just abominable behavior displayed by people trusted with your care.

You don't care how many people wrongfully incarcerated and beat to death neglecting treatment if they get any at all , both sides of OUR SYSTEM SHOULD BE CLEANED UP , GOOD LUCK ON THAT

It happens in far east too. They must have copied from them

Dat is crazy sometimes they will provide that type of wepon they will actually do that to they will provide an inmate with a wepon

I’m sick to my stomach! It’s beyond sad & to think you employ or trust ones to be professional and know they’re not legit is disheartening!! Addicts? No one wants to be one! When these men may have been one .. then have staff to abuse them & allow them to be abused.. which is worse? Seriously, you don’t the answers? Are you serious? You don’t deserve your job!

First thing if an officer has a sexual relationship or is in any way introducing contraband to unit. That officer needs be made example and prosecute it to full amount of the law. This we’ll show all the inmates and staff new or old not to do that or you are going to jail yourself. I’ve seen officer work 20 years then decide have sex with inmates and nothing happened besides officer was about to walk away and resign and, that’s not right. Too many officers are dirty and face not punishment for what they did. Officer bring in cellphones and drugs then get resign like nothing happened because the state or the warden is too worried about making their facility look bad. You make yourself look better by saying hey, this a zero tolerance and and everyone whe decides to not follow the rules will be prosecuted.

American prison industry is a disgusting slap in face for the Country in general.

Robinson county jail need to be looked at there's one officer I know of that tells females inmates if they do sexual activities he will not take them to jail my friend was one he asked

Humans 🙄

More staff means more money, that's the key

These things are still happening and much more my son is being beat by 2 or more officer very often just because they can and other inmates also

Corrupt officals

Jessup Maryland prison is very crooked too also the prison In Hagerstown Maryland

Steven Howard Mitchell

Funny how people that are in prison for being "dirty" to the upmost degree to society are now blaming and crying victim. F*ck that.. Stay out of prison then

Damn lil river... you aint put it out thr did ya...

The Fourth circuit court has to require mandatory bodycams for all CO in that circuits district which includes North Carolina .

4 years ago video....being a veteran CO in this state, I have a lot of thought after watching this video. and i confirmed that the main reason why they can step up and freely to speak out in this video is because they are no longer working in Central Prison anymore. One thing this video never mention is nobody likes to take this unnecessary risks to deal with "offenders" with the following reasons: 1. COVID happened. we all knew what happen. and prison has no exception. 2. After all those ex-cons being released on the street fueled with hatred against law enforcement because they simply were being arrested from their own stupidity (it is stupid when they knew all those crimes they did were breaking the law and think they can get away with the law.). 3. KZfaq audiences here who were being blind-eye by KZfaq storytellers here. Truth is not what they pursuit here, nope, they want dramatic! 4. Thanks to all those administrative staff who spoiled all those offenders around the state and granting too much unnecessary privilege because they are scared of retaliation from offenders, in another word, they are scared of being assaulted no matter working in prison or on the street. Therefore, according from my observation, the wave of staff shortage was repeatedly already damaging the system and all the officers who showed up in this video resigned from this unfair judgment from those ignorance i mentioned above.

Hope the guy who was in a wheelchair , and at the end of the documentary got compensated.

This lady expert says the prision has made a lot of people broken. I thought breaking hard headed strong willed people was the main job of a prision. They wouldn't be in prison if they weren't so head strong and obsessed with breaking the law. These arn't soft core criminals looking to better themselves in a social economic system that penalize them from birth. These are violent individuals whose life choices are built around bullying and victimizing people for the sake of victimizing them. These are the kind of people who need breaking

HR authority 🚨

1:39 Chief Deputy Secretary YOU'RE A GOD DAMN LIAR!! LIAR!! LIAR!!

Do your best to not go to prison

If you want to see the scum of the earth, come to prison at shift change. -Paul Havey

🦄🙏

I escaped from Weehawken Prison, using a gun carved out of soap.

Just dont go too prison. End of Story.

It’s not called the “dirty south” for nothing...🤷🏽‍♀️😂😂

You are not staffed enough and there is no budget to bring more in. Its a shame!!!

After seeing the Madagascar jail documentary this really isn't too bad, injustice anywhere isn't good buuuuut🤷‍♂️

That’s where my dad is at I think he deserves that tho

Their me too movement

They need to lock prisoners up in solitary confinement. I know there are a lot of people that are against solitary confinement but I'm all for it for certain prisoners that have been convicted of horrific crimes like pedophillia, rape and certain murders. Those kind of people deserve to suffer horrifically. The idea of rehabilitation is ridiculous. Prisons should be about punishment. If I was a prison warden I would make sure I went around to these prisoners cells and remind them about all of the great things they're missing out on by sitting in there. I would tease them that they would get out in a month so they could get their hopes built up only to come crashing down when the day came and I told him that I was just kidding and he would never get out of solitary confinement. To look at that person and see the devastation on their face would give me so much joy I wouldn't be able to keep from laughing in their face. I would look forward to going to work just so I could see them suffer like they deserve.

My brother locked up there FREE TRILLZ

They aren’t too bright in North Carolina are they?

Been there and seen this stuff✌️Ex con..

Tom Cruise has some good books for that lady buy and study infatestamaly. *sp… what I mean to say is double book entry book keeping. Regards.
