    In nursing school I once met a female who was C.O. she told me horrific stories while working with female convicts, she said every day while driving to work she pulled over to vomit, she lasted 4 years before quitting to becoming entering a registered nursing program. She told me women can be just as violent as men.

    I was a CO for 3 years in a state prison. I was diagnosed with PTSD after I left - my life has never been the same. I quit 10 years ago. MAD respect for anyone who chooses to be a CO. They are underpaid.
  • I was locked up for 13 years of my adult life. I’ve seen some crazy shit. Thank you father God for delivering me from my old life and making me a productive member of society. I was a drug offender. Distribution and possession. Prison is a whole another world. Politics are different rules are different. Respect is everything.
  • Some of us do recover. Some of us do become productive members of society. Some of us don’t want to go back.

    My brother worked in a federal prison for more then 20 years. I did experience the way it changed him. He was always so closed off emotionally. Every now and then he would tell me a story. But he would never go into detail. One time I went to look for him at work. I lived far from home and when I visited I wanted to see him so I went to his job He was happy to see me but he asked me to never visit him again because the inmates see everything. It’s an insane job and I wish the system gave mandatory therapy to all employees. Rest in peace I lost my brother to cancer three years ago now.

    I stand with Mark L. Mark does some of the most important work in this world today. His videos will be used as teaching tools for years to come. He single-handedly has already made a huge exposure of the broken western world. I hope he makes as much money as he can as he obviously does good work with it. This channel’s importance is huge.
  • @still_becoming
    It's crazy to me that some people get triggered to see Mark earn a living on HIS channel for the work HE DOES

    Man the inner workings of prison is mind blowing. I'm currently studying the basics of human psychology (not formally though). But I gotta say, trying to comprehend the psyche of a hardened inmate is just so immensely complex bro.😵‍💫 I always hear stories from inmates but now listening to the experiences of this CO is crazy. His POV has given me a new challenge and outlook now. Fascinating stuff!

    As a federal female inmate for 3 years of my life - I would love to see interview of a correctional officer of a female prison. Male correctional officers frequently flirt and even get inmate’s pregnant. I can name 3 married couples that met as a female inmate and male correctional officer - very common
  • @CurlyByNaturee
    As horrific as these experiences are, he did a great job telling these stories. Him describing the smell of a crime scene is wild. You know he has so many more stories to tell.
  • @jaijudo6209
    I don’t even wanna watch this anymore after the first censored part 😭
  • Joe, why would you stick with such a horrible job for so long? It's literally Hell.
  • @wheatonmommy
    In this rare instance, I'm thankful for the censorship. This edited version is about all I can handle. Why anyone would want more detail than this is a mystery and very concerning.
  • The fact that u give a voice to the unheard is priceless,don't stop👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
  • @ladyboomer1765
    Lived in the high desert a long time, heard many stories about that prison in Victorville.
  • @Prometheus669
    It's actually kind of more scary that it's censored because it leaves your imagination to fill the gaps and that was a dark experience for me
  • @GalispyYT
