I did enjoy this video... It was almost captivating.

In regards to staff/inmate ratio, at the state prison that I used to work at, we had an imate population of roughly 1,500. At our lowest, my shift (Alpha Card night shift) had 12 people. If you take into account mandatory posts, this left 1 officer per yard (our facility had an upper and lower yard), which meant 1 officer had to watch over approx. 700 inmates. I left in early 2020 (roughly a month before C19 hit the system, dodged a proverbial bullet there) to preserve my mental health. I've heard it's gotten better since they got rid of the corrupt top brass and brought in a respectable Warden. I really hope it has, for the sake of my friends still there.

Hey Simon, why no mention of Lura Gancha of Peru?

In the early 19th century, prison reformers in Pennsylvania replaced the then-current barbaric environment with an explicitly 'penitentiary' model. Prisoners were kept in solitary confinement to enable them to reflect and repent of their crimes. It was discovered that this was even more damaging to their mental and emotional health than the cruel treatment it replaced.

Never imagined Simon liking camping or using a knife with skinning hook for its intended purposes.

What, no Turkish prisons? Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue...

The worst part of Rikers Island is it's record in dealing with mental illness. They have a terrible record of lumping the mentally ill in with everyone else which as you can imagine doesn't work out well.

Is there a list of all the channels Simon is on? Love the guy i just wanna know where to find him? xD
