Woow!!! This prison makes my bones feel numb

[ukspizzaman]

5:56 Risk of escape? To where? Surely that would only have been a problem that solved itself.

[richardburns]

No one has ever escaped from this prison . Would make a good Realty Show called, "Escape from Fire Island ". With a big purse up for grabs.

You don't have a thousand maniacs yelling all day and night beating on shit like in us prisons

[eaubert]

When the exterior of the prisoners' housing complex looks nicer than the prison guards' old wooden huts!

[mynameiseve.]

Wait WAAAT...the toilet is bolted to the floor???? Thats crazy...only in russian top security prisons folks!!

[SpazzMaticus]

Gotta say them toilets look better than the ones in America. Privacy and porcelain instead of open and steel 😂

[charlieday]

The food, thats welded to the toilet too.

[robgau]

Wow. Private toilets? We don't have private toilets in America. Not that I've seen. Definitely not in county, and I can't imagine the state pen has it.

I was in prison years ago and the prisons in Ireland are holiday camps compared to other countries that is a rough prison I would hate to be locked up in another country in any case I don't break the law anymore and I haven't since 2010

American prisons are so much worse than that lol. Nothing beats Madagascar though.

[maxwelljuma]

Pheew back to your normal content... the politics thing was a bit too boring...cause there are enough channels already dealing with that!! Welcome back..

[unraveledultimatefate]

There are exceptions to which there are actual real offenders that you don't set them free ever in life time and these are not petty low level violators of a substance use and possession.

[ulrikecanada]

Are they going to take them out to fight the war?

[michaelpatanella]

Wow. Allowed to smoke cigarettes!!? Shit with that privilege, I'd survive perfectly fine haha
