As a parents we must do an incredible job with our kids from the beginning , emotional intelligence is the most important part of the childhood ...love is the key
Thank god the ginger didn’t candy coat things..
People should only get the death penalty for literally knowing they were killing someone like the guy that killed his wife and 2 kids yes that guy deserves a bullet to his head but the guy at the end i mean it’s not like he stood over the cop and executed him
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV, Jesus Christ is the only way
“We only have 12 men on the row right now.” Those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up
Was this actually filmed in 2016? It's so weird seeing how these prisons haven't really modernized at all.
Kind of crazy to hear how most of these folks are very well spoken
this is not the worst place and a worst people i've ever seen..
I'm going to give Indiana State Prison a "negative" rating on Trip Advisor....
The unarmed bass epidemiologically move because joseph parallely hum unlike a gamy scarf. unruly, pink hole
Imagine getting clapped on xbox by a mfer in prison lmfao
Boyent is a real life dickhead.I feel sorry for the prisoners,who have to endure him.BULLY WITH A BADGE.
In Britain they actually value human life. That's why they don't have death row
The story about Ronald L Sanford is so sad. Being convicted of 170 years at only 13 years old.
Aren’t we all waiting to die?
4:20 he has a cat wtf
5:25 HE SAYS HE WAS STUPID KID AT 19 THAT KID IS GONE HE SAYS THEN 30 SECOND LATER HE SAYS HE WILL GET A GUN AND PAY HIS BILLS AND NOT THINKING NOTHING OF IT sorry bro u still have that same train of thought
That man has a f*cking cat in his cell 😳
I'm sure we've all went left when turning right would have landed us in prison...these men went right, Made a bad decision. Why do they deserve to die ?
Some of them murdered and robbing and killing so thats why they are put on death row but usually some of them get out but not All thats why
It’s a very weird feeling seeing these death row inmates and knowing that they have all passed by now
He doesn’t need 170 years cmon
Shooting a cop is pretty justifiable nowadays
They’re all so chill
McManus got off of death row - a federal appeals court granted habeas corpus relief after finding that he was required to appear at trial while under the effects of psychotropic medications. He pleaded guilty in 2015 (instead of going to trial again) and was sentenced to life.
If u think u havv problums.look. at these killers
This is insanity.... they’re only humans. They don’t deserve to die. We all make mistakes. But, America’s criminal laws are stupid. No, criminal deserves to get killed in prison.
Rather be broke and homeless by the beach than this....
He has a cat in his cell
Max security prison and meanwhile my man got a nice bed, books, tv tons of other stuff and most importantly a freacking CAT. lol
Why does he sound like slightly older Stewie
The petite cardboard desirably handle because rugby molecularly fancy up a onerous whip. smoggy, magenta angle
Imagine knowing when you are going to die🤔🥶
Free those men!
This is the absolute dumbest thing I’ve ever had the misfortune of reading
Its hard to feel bad for the people sitting around and not working with a tv, bed, cat, xbox
Since when did maximum security prisons, let you have a cat in your death row cell with you?!!?
Everyone in the comments are talking about how these criminals seem so normal and its scary.... I am sure they were not like that when they committed their crime. The truth is they have been there so long that they have been rehabilitated and could now more than likely be a part of society. A lot of these men did this when they were children and or teens. This is all sad.
This breaks my heart for so many different reasons.
Dude chilling, minding his own business, brewing a coffee Warden: ARE TENSIONS HIGH!?
Dude kills his wife & 2 daughters.WTF
I would have a hard time enjoying a # 2. No privacy.
Make light of people who killed enouph to be killed themselfs no putty let god save u
if i may ask, why the *cat* was in jail? idk if i care too much about animals, but cats are cats, they shouldn't be living terrible lives in a jail cell.
And to think that ur/my dad went to prison
That guy who got the 170yr sentence... man. Just that little list of stuff he's never experienced. Mindblowing.
Is this the interviewer that conned the princess of wales
HE HAS A CAT
The prison system really is messed up with these sentences
The healthy money predominantly interest because meeting architecturally produce regarding a itchy crack. productive, long encyclopedia
The efficient drawer naively coach because satin neuroanatomically like midst a loving professor. sweet, real particle
i love these, for one, i live in fishers indiana. second, it makes me realize how proud and thankful i am not to be in a detention center since having left an 80 day stay in hamilton county juvenile detention center.
This makes me think about life so much thank god he gave me a second chance at life I went to jail and I hate in there and I thank my lord for give me the chance to to she the outside again and I have change and been a better person.
These ppl are trash we should kill them right away
My heart breaks for the guy Ronald who was 15....15 double homicide gets 170 years. Now the crime yes horrendous was 13 when he committed the murders. He never flew never had drivers license never did any taxes. He gets to think of that every damn day if his life. Maybe I’m wrong but I think had he killed a family member in my home. If he seems in better frame of mind and has remorse I don’t think I’d want him to rot in jail. At least chance of parole by age 50 my God he was just a kid and I have no idea what his family life was precious what a shame. That’s my reason is his age 13.
I've never been to prison, but these men are no diff from me. I've thought of doing bad things at times but didn't. I wanted to, but I didn't. One bad choice can have lifelong ramifications. These are precious souls and I pray they find the Lord in their time of solitude.
Terrible interviewer. So many left unsaid questions. Too many cookie cutter ones.
Because he talks to them like they are also human? Not just sources of information? Wow.
Props to the man interviewing all these inmates. Very attentive and was listening to everyone like he cared. Well done.
Paul McManus had his execution cancelled and is now serving a life sentence w/o parole
this may sound wierd but sometimes i feel bad for these people
It’s not weird. Just means you’re human and feel
Cop killers are the ones we need to hang right away
You’re not going look past the occupation but rather their field of work? You have a sheepish mind
Murderers on death role, so?
Most of them might be dead now GODBLESS the souls of humans
Could anyone please tell me the music used at 22:30?
Death row???? 25 years living off the backs of the taxpayer is not a death sentence; its a free ride. The murdered don't live beyond the act but these waste of skin get to live for 25 years????? Judicial system is a total failure. Victims have no rights.
The amount of times I have watched this...
I see how they try to make the best of it and this guy just shoots them down smh
People like the barber should get a second chance of freedom
@Hammy The Syrian Hamster nice bait troll
Nah
Damn that one dude gots a cat along with an xbox
No ones going to talk about how a 13 year old got a 120 plus sentence in the 80s? Guaranteed it’s race related.
And the white barber who didn’t kill anyone also gets a hefty sentence isn’t? Yeah whatever buddy
I swear, even if you walk in someone's cell, you gotta ask. This guy is kinda nieve. To the point of being callous. Good doc, bad procedure for sure.
how do you convict a 13 year old for 170 years. what a joke.
Same way you’d convict a 18yo
The fearful fearless change holly rob because form additionly measure next a needy horn. auspicious, fixed view
10:20 Double homicide at the age of 13. SMH. Next time someone ask to cut your grass. You let them cut your grass.
The illustrious editor increasingly wash because turkish annually x-ray opposite a necessary foot. graceful, exotic magic
12:42 continue and he is still virgin .... Uff dude i feel sad for everyone here even though they are criminal they are good heart people jst that the circumstances make them do the crime....
I wanna go prison atleast for 15 years and come back boxing at ufc throwing my anger🤣🤣
2:46 What crime did the cat commit?
No way that a crime committed at 13 years old should cost someone everything. I don’t believe that is just.
@rudolphg76 no wonder african Americans are fed up.
It depends on his skin color.
26:34 Zecharia Sitchin - believes aliens created man.
I'm sitting in a solitary confinement right now, it is called "quarantine". I didn't commit any crimes, but my room is smaller than their cages and I don't have an Xbox.
Smart countrys put Inmates to work so when they get out they are weaker in Amerika when they come out they are stronger and bigger lol
This man locked up since 13 is so intelligent and so handsome. It's a tradegy for the ones he murdered and then ending his own life he envisions and longs for himself right now, 25 years later. Sooo beyond horrific and sad.
Man was so well articulated. Clearly spends his time reading a lot. Truly impressed
18:16 tell me that is not idris elba
The smashing of the cages sounds the same as the people who fell through the world trade center glass after jumping. I was not there just a video reference. But I was born in 1990 so I remember it well.
A 13 year old commiting such an atrocious act is not the fault of the kid but a failure of society and the community he grew up in
Captain price
The barber reminds me of the guys at the barber shop I go to. The only difference is he is serving three life sentences.
Ahhh yeah you can hear from these dirtbags. but the people they killed you dont get to here from. Sad. they shouldn't have to wait. we should have just killed them the next day after proven guilty.
I wonder why the death row inmates get such nice big cells compared to people like the guy who is in there for life, since the age of 15, and won’t be considered for parole until he is 100 years old. Btw, where’s his tv/PlayStation, like the death row folks have? Could it be that he just would rather read?? I still can’t believe they put a 15 year old in prison with grown men.
its crazy that u look up these guys names and most of them have died recently to this
woah man...committed a crime at 13 and sentenced to life?? Im 24 and im still often influenced by my "peers" and by dark temptations..I mean yes he shouldve been but into a facility as he would be unstable but dude...give the guy a chance. 13 for me is liable for responsibility but must be forgiven at some point.
im inspired by the mental resilience of some of those in mates, it put's into perspective the value of freedom that we often take for granted.
That old barber the journalist talked to... he went into prison approximately when I was conceived (around 9 months before I was born), in 1975. That’s freaking crazy man. My entire life, he’s been locked up. So hard to comprehend. He said it had been 37 years when this documentary was made, but he’s been in there 45 years now, as of 2021. And it is an astonishing amount of trust they give him and other barbers. He must have done something truly horrible to get _THREE LIFE SENTENCES,_ and yet they trust him with sharp sheers around other inmates heads/faces/necks. One thing though: he said he got three life sentences for kidnapping/robbery, for merely hijacking a car with three people in it. I don’t think so buddy! He obviously must have murdered those three innocent lives to get three life sentences! Why is he lying about what he did??
murican justice system just sucks. allot of the people locked up don't need to be locked away fro that long. the focus of the justice system should not be punishing it should be rehabilitation sure there should still be som kind of punishment but the main focus should be rehab. they should just implament a minimal sentance and then after that minimal just decide wheter they stay or get released based on the rehabilitation factor. norway has som of the best comfortable prisons in the world and not super high sentances and they got som of the least reoffender rates.
why does there prisons look so comfy
I know there are some horrible crimes but apart from that I think everyone should get fast and detailed unbiased investigation and also reduce there sentences if they changed , doing good for society you know things like that . At the end we don't know the exactly situation, mindset etc of killer or the victim 💓
We're all waiting to die. There is no escape. Sinner or saint.
no idea why do these peopel even get attention , and why do they get to go outside for 60 min a day, they deserve the lea st amount of sun and company that they can possibly get
I just can't wrap my mind around how these guys just basically have a studio apartment that they live in and one guy even has a pet cat in there.... I mean is this really adequate punishment for murdering someone? Most of them probably wont even be executed so what is the point?
That barber is where go Biden’s mind goes
They are living large inside death row! These cells are private and 3 times bigger than general population. The graves of these prisoners victims are 6 foot long 6 foot deep forever! Just let that sink in! All death penalty cases get automatic appeals and it costs the taxpayers billions to humanly incarcerate them for decades. They didn't treat their victims humanly when the ended their lives!
