We have so place to put the monsters that running around Robbing Stealing Killing Raping and lord knows what else i think the books can wait a little longer.

Were other prisoners starstruck by being in there with him or did everyone just treat him like everyone else?

@@jaymelee23 all the new people were but everyone would always give him a "Hey hey hey"

Damn

Your saying your still there? That’s cool that some inmates get computer privileges.

what is the chance of a prison escape happening here

I think Pa. spends more on prisons than education.

Yeah there was no reason for this,I just got out of Graterford in 07 and it was in good shape,it was an old penitentiary but it was actually clean and in decent shape,plus they just built a multi million dollar new kitchen in the Old Graterford right before I got there in 07 so that was just wasted too.

Cosby won't be using any gym. He is a PC case. If he were in general population he would be dead the very same day.

you wouldn't want to be in jail or prison, no carpet, no pillow, people yelling and making noise all the time, crap food, some of it is not even identifiable, it not some nice hotel, prison especially is not fun or easy, no matter how "nice" you think the basketball court is, lol you wouldn't want to be in there for a day, it would suck badly, american prisons are not nice, they're hardcore ever watch those prison shows? nothing cool or nice about any of it.

Same here

This prison is also 100x more profitable than your high school. Money talks, bs walks.

@@sacluvsBM He's been transferred to general population I read.

Or so we hope!

Did 13 years it wasn't that bad. And I was in there gang banging.

Yes , your righr . They didnt show that part but he wll be a soft cot , decent food and will be a celebrity there will the guards and inmates .

@Bill Patrick Jones A few years ago as all the allegations arose he was still touring and said he was blind then but if so why didnt he fall or trip . Through if he did start really going blind after playing it then Karma got him .

he will not be in the cell 23 hours per day. That is a very soft place he was sent to. They get chapel every day, exercise, classes, meals out of the cell. wake up, its a lenient situation, he could have been jailed 15 years ago and still be in there today, and he raped 40-60 women. Name me one person on earth would have gotten the kind of reverent treatment he got.

the sentence says no less than 3 years.

@Bill Patrick Jones I, am a rape Survivor. NO financial pay out, will ever lessen the ONE and ONLY pay out that he paid out, as hush money. He also, drugged these women. I, believe every woman that came out many, many year's after their drug and rape testimony. They were not all paid out by him, so they did not do it for financial gain nor is coming out reporting being raped, a way to gain celebrity status? He will have it very nice in prison because he is of celebrity status. He is a senior and they take ALOT of naps. The prison will not let him go without proper medical care because of his past celebrity status. I, do not care about a rapist's age when they are convicted. These women came out to speak about him drugging and raping them, so they could support each other and regain their well-being. The trauma from being raped, never goes away. The trauma with some lessens and with other's they have mental/emotional and physical break downs.

You were up there with Jimmy French and Ear? 215 poker table in the yard and all that? I was up there then got transfered to Graterford to fight a case.Small world

How many prisoners does it hold? Looks small. Not as big as some prisons I’ve seen.

@CoolChannel Name you mean very unlikely

The recidivism rate for people who never break the law is 0%

@@yaramyahyahyasharel5975 There are some prisons that actually rehabilitate their inmates so they don't re-offend when they are released, or at least decrease their chance of re-offending.

I hope it's punishing them, so they can think about all the heinous crimes they committed.

While rehabilitation sounds good, let's not forget that the primary role of prison is PUNISHMENT for hurting, raping, assaulting, murdering another human being. The victims and their families will suffer forever. The victims need therapy, counseling and compassion. They need help to cope with fear, loss, grief, PTSD, etc... Yes, some criminals have had struggles that led them to prison. If inmates are paroled and given a second chance at freedom, there should be an attempt (prior to release) to rehabilitate them with job skills, social skills, and independent living skills. This would benefit the inmate and society, as well. But never forget that prior to release, the inmates are there to be punished! Let's devote our resources to the victims, who need and deserve help too!

Please explain to me exactly how states make money by incarcerating people? What is the motivation for locking up more people?

shananagans5 They're outsourced to private companies who are making all the money. Those private corporations pay bribes known as "lobbying" to keep the gravy train going. We could always go back to the convict leasing systems of the late 1800s so the states are making the money instead. In 1898 73% of Alabama's revenue came from convict leasing.

@@nachobroryan8824 ok, now youre living in the 1800's

shananagans5 + Assuming your question isn't sarcastic, you can start here -: americanradioworks.publicradio.org/features/corrections/

Prisons do not send out invitations. People earn their way. It's about punishment not rehabilitation.

Don't worry he'll be out soon enough to rape someone you love.

Some of the guys I did time with are animals, between the beatings, stabbings and bodies leaving in black bags on a regular basis, you wouldn't some of these cats living next door. I'm glad I only had to be transported to the Prison wing of a hospital only once, and got alive when my sentence came to an end. You find a new course within yourself or you stay the same!

In Europe we still aim for rehabilitation while the US with their long sentences are pushing for eternal punishment, like people live 200 years on average down there. Is that sterile, crapped, lifeless room a hotel for you? Do you think you can get out of that without losing the mind in the process? Prison models should be Scandinavian prisons, which are the proof that whatever one did, he/she can still partake positively in the society with low rate of reoffending. Treat them like rabid dogs, give them junk to eat, keep them caged for half their life then don't get surprised when they are returning back in with new victims.

There is no rehabilitation for murderers. For rapists they can rehabilitate themselves in a Siberian hellhole for 10-30 years. When you build hotels for inmates then OFCOURSE they are going to re-offend when they get out as the life INSIDE is easy peasy.

In my POV there is no rehabilitation for mental illness driven murderers, full stop. The meaning of a prison is to protect the society and to reeducate the inmate, staying locked is the punishment, is not necessary to add on top of this tough conditions unless you keep them locked for life. Think about the soldiers that kill at command sometimes with collateral victims, even when the country they fight for is not threatened, their job is to murder following orders and interests and I see they get along their life as usual, even more they are branded as heroes by the sheep that never saw post-2000 war footage and the brutality involved, they are not showing it on TV. The discussion is too complex than involving only the every day Joe that killed his wife in a rage attack and on a video relating to an American prison the discussion is futile. All i want to say is that the more you stick a bat in the cage pissing the dog, the greater are the possibilities that once you release the dog he will bite you which translates to the prison system failing the citizen.

ouThhiTus In the US we're not pushing for punishment. They're run by corporations so we hope for recidivism so they can continue to make money. That's why we lock up people for weed over and over again.

Prison should be made as horrible as possible so the prisoner would never want to go back. Of course you cannot rehabilitate a murderer or rapist. They should be immediately be executed. Guillotine or firing squad would be a good start.

Aluminum Oxide he committed rape

Is this where he is?

😆

No dimwit the name of the Prison is SCI Phoenix in Pennsylvania

Pineapple Juice why are you calling me? I was just asking a simple question you don't have to get snotty take a chill pill

Pineapple Juice why are you calling me names? I was asking a simple question you don't need to be snotty about it! Take a chill pill dude!

It doesn’t look like the Amazon I was at tf 😂😂

I never understood that either. Meanwhile a predator like Jerry Sandusky is sitting at a minimum security prison with a nice view of the Turnpike here in Somerset, PA.

Honestly in terms of freedom, SCI Phoenix is middle of the road in PA. In terms of cleanliness, it was the cleanest I was at. If it weren't for the COVID lockdown, there would've been a lot to do there

Bill Cosby is not innocent infact he should b torcherd

Estimates have it being as high as 2 or 3%, but it could actually be higher given how pushy prosecutors can be (and the fact that state defense attorneys get paid either way).

Some aren't necessarily innocent, but they have been given insane trumped up charges. Scared to take the case to trial and get 15+ years, they accept the 7 years and head to home sweet home SCI Phoenix.

Phillip Hamilton omg, you should not wish that on somebody else . Those women who accused Cosby of doing something to them. They didn't even have proof, all they had was their mouths. Which isn't fair at all. Cosby I'm so sorry, I hope you the best.

John Brookins is innocent! he has been incarcerated for 28 years now. corruption in Bucks County back in the 1990's put him there! everyone who knows john, knows this! he was targeted and arrested 6 months later while they allowed the true murderer (detectives' girlfriend and informant) to move out of the area! the murderer left the area along with the corrupt police boyfriend who retired after Johns arrest! he has served long enough for someone elses' crime! Please let him free! we will never give up on Johnny! he is an amazing man!

Well, I guess it came around again, cus he's a free man.

Bill Cosby has one of the main oil pipe lines running under his home they been that for years don't let the lies fool you!!!

Pelican Bay.

jason walters it doesn't matter where it went don't do the crime and you won't do that time tool

It does matter where it went you fool.

That's also Cosby's net worth. 400 million.

These prisons are owned by rich 1% research it.

The builders aren't the ones that are corrupt. It's the people who run that place that are corrupt.

da6footbandit just curious why do you believe the prisoners will hate this new facility?

Stacey Balla I basically said it in my last comment greater-ford was one of the last free roam prisons in pennsylvania. Inmates had way more freedom the cell blocks was as long as two city blocks they had boxing matches in the yards bands played in the studio they had basically the prisoners ran the jail. And that set the tone for a more laid back atmosphere. Because u had rules and leadership. With the new prisons instead of being on a long cell block u could walk ur confined to a square block with less cells then the old jail less movement. The inmates who been at greater Ford mostly lifers so there used to what there used to stuck in they ways. If you look up Bernard Hopkins greater Ford boxing match u would see how much the prison was laid back and organized. U would never see a jail integrated like greater Ford was yeah they still had fights and stabbings but its prison.
