    "Hello, this is the lockpicking lawyer, and today I am visiting a supermax prison. The guards are all very nice and challenged me to find a way out of it. Unbeknown to them, they already provided me with all the tools I need. As you can see, their steel handcuffs are in and of themselves very easy to pick, so to give myself a challenge, I picked them with this single shard of grass, one of the guards had under his boot. Now I have this long steel cable, which I can bend to make shims etc. However, I don't feel like picking the doors the usual way, as it is monday and I had a wild weekend with Miss lockpicking lawyer, so instead I will use this one design flaw from their camera system and the electric conductivity from the steel cable, in order to trip their system and open every electric door in the vicinity at the same time. Now all that is left is to pick this one last door, while the guards handle the prison riot, which just happened to be a Masterlock, so this one shard of grass should be enough. ... nothing on one ... click out of two ... three is binding ... the core seems to be moving, so I think pin four and five are probably zero cuts, back to one ... click out of one, and it is open. I must say, I expected a bit more out of a Supermax prison, although I assume that most normal lock pickers will have a bit of a problem with the camera system. Anyway, this has been the lockpicking lawyer, and I will see you next time."

    For some mentally ill criminals with no chance of rehabilitation, taking away their ability to communicate an escape plan with others is a necessary step to protect the populace. Even if it drives them more insane, if the alternative in any way increases their physical ability to escape, we shouldn't risk it, at least not for some of the worst of the worst who murdered dozens of people.

One thing I’ve learned living here is that if a prisoner goes on a hunger strike they put them on a feeding tube, so you are basically there until nature takes its course. You also have a great view of the Rockies at the prison, and the second you walk in you will never see those mountains again.

Apparently it was a completely open prison, the German POWs could go into the local town or even hiking trips because the POW camp was literally in the middle of nowhere, several hundred miles from the nearest coastline. Then you’d have the width of the Atlantic to cross. Even if they wanted to escape it would have been practically impossible travelling such vast distances.

    ​@@kekerosberg1654It's not just that. In Europe, unless you are part of a crime organisation or plan to move to another continent, being on the run for the rest of your life is worse than serving your sentence. You can't get an ID card or passport for obvious reasons. This means you can't open a bank account, and using your old one would be foolish. Then renting a place to live is next to impossible because very few landlords accept cash, and in many European countries, landlords have to either register you with the state register or at least make sure you register yourself. You can't register a car, and when you drive one, you have no valid driver's licence. Oh, and you want phone or internet service? ID and/or bank account, please! Want to earn some money on the side legally? ID, SSN, and tax ID, please. Trying to circumvent that by having your spouse sign the paperwork? Guess where the police will be looking for you first. Oh, and one more thing for Norway: Want to buy some food? Good luck finding a place where they accept cash. Now, if you have the choice between that hassle for the next half-century and that American prison, sure, the hassle is worth it ten times over.

    I bet all that psychological torture makes these extremists much more reasonable, and knowing that the government does awful stuff like this doesn't at all inspire others to extreme points of view. On the bright side at least the people being tortured into ever deepening insanity all have multiple life sentences and will never be released, meaning this is just a human rights abuse instead of a public safety issue. Except a bunch of people have been moved from ADX Florence to less secure facilities, and a bunch have been released, or put into witness protection, or released and deported to other countries, so in some cases the government is putting people through 24 hour psychological abuse for decades on end, then releasing them. There's no way this could possibly go wrong. Every part of this video (including what I thought it was actually going to be about) makes me sad.

They justify this by pointing at the high occupancy in other prisons, but it’s just one more reason this is sickening.

They learn how to care for the animals, how to make products and sell them. How to cook and repair stuff and they also still get to learn what they would learn at school. They have all their own roomes and their stuff. They aren't forced to do anything. They have a few people working their that are their familys. They are not looked up! Those kids there get to have a loving family and learn all kids of skills. They are allowed to go to the market. At the end they learn how to live in society because that is often what they didn't learn at home. When their "sentence" is done, they get help finding a place to leave and a job. They also have people they can ask for help at any moment. When I saw that documentation, none of the kids that were there did something stupid. They all got a foot in life and developed to me great people.
