hard gangs hard time and SHIVs actually
we’re not really covering any of those
today so let’s go with pirates Puritans
and slavery welcome to watchmojo.com
Stallman we’re counting down the five
most surprising things that you probably
didn’t know about prisons I don’t really
feel bad for the things I’ve done I mean
since most of the information we found
during our research on the topic is
centered around the American prison
system most of these facts are as well
number 5 prison sentences are as
American as apple pie before the 19th
century in the West punishment was
torture humiliation or death prisons
existed but they were primarily just
places to keep criminals before the
punishment happened it was American
Quakers and Puritans who came up with
the idea of the penitentiary the idea
was to leave convicts alone to quietly
think about their crimes and become
penitent it was meant to be a humane
alternative to corporal punishment but
the years spent alone drove many of the
criminals mad
these Penitentiary’s developed into the
modern prison system and later became
the inspiration for solitary confinement
it is perpetual misery
it’s ennui its monotony its repetition
number 4 America has the second-highest
prison rate given that last back that
might not be surprising that America is
the country with the largest prison
population it has more than 2 million
prisoners and about 5 million people in
other areas of the justice system like
on parole or in juvenile detention but
the tiny Archipelago nation of
Seychelles has the highest prison rate
almost 800 prisoners per 100,000
citizens America’s rate is only 698 per
100,000 but Seychelles isn’t some kind
of mad police state the abnormally high
level of incarceration there is due in
large part to a UN prison that houses
Somali pirates
number three those hilarious dancing
prisoners might be hilariously abused
in
former inmates of this Filipino
penitentiary have accused the prison of
beating those who didn’t participate and
Amnesty International has concerns about
the country’s prisons sanitation and
overcrowding
officials insist the dance program is an
effective rehabilitation tool but others
disagree call it exploitative
however the Philippines is not the only
place that exploits inmates in American
prisons people can be forced to work for
as little as twenty three cents an hour
this is because of a clause that was
left in the Thirteenth Amendment to keep
slavery in prisons legal by convicting
recently emancipated slaves of minor
crimes this clause was used to keep some
plantations open for decades after the
Civil War and we got papers proving he’s
great onew you belong to me handy one
number two
Scandinavian prisons work better piss on
me while American prisons focus on
punishment
Scandinavian prisons focus more on
rehabilitation one of the principles in
the region correctional services
regarding normality which means that you
should serve on just normal conditions
as possible
Norwegian prisons are designed to mimic
villages to remind prisoners that they
are still a part of society surprised to
see metal silverware and high-security
and facility it’s very well-equipped
kitchen they have access to many of the
same rights and privileges as regular
citizens and they have a max sentence of
21 years the person’s try to help
convicts develop life and work skills
because even the worst offenders will
one day live around regular citizens I’m
having a hard time believing that I’m in
a prison it may sound strange to an
American audience but there are at least
some indications that the system works
Norwegian recidivism is around 40
percent whereas American recidivism is
closer to 70 percent god Bless America
number one lots of Americans in jail are
innocent the precogs can see a murder
four days out until we develop some kind
of criminal Precog technology that sees
into the past we’ll never know for sure
how many convicts are actually innocent
however experts estimate that between
two point three and five percent of
American prisoners are innocent that’s
up to 110,000 people who were in prison
without committing the crime they were
convicted of as last week tonight
reported recently it’s probable that
many of them use fear the overworked
public defenders study New Orleans a few
years back found that the city had some
part-time defenders who could only spend
an average of seven
minutes per case these public defenders
often encourage defendants to take plea
bargains which leads to the terrible
reality that 90 to 95 percent of
convicts never actually have a trial the
justice system work swiftly the future
knowledge abolished all lawyers uh this
is heavy so what do you think the best
kind of prison is pick up while it’s
cold ladies for more rehabilitated top
tens and no chance of parole top fives
