Insane Things Prison Guards Witnessed That Made Them Quit Their Jobs

When I did 3 months in the county jail in 1999 for graffiti, some idiot 18-year-old attempted to escape with only 2 weeks left on his sentence. He got stuck on barbwire and had to get rescued by the fire department. Then had 3 years added to his sentence in a state prison. What a maroon!

I'm a doctor at a city hospital that cares for county jail patients. One time, we had a guy who had used a plastic spoon to self enucleate both his eyes. I'm not often shocked, but that one really did it for me.

If youre so desperate to get drugs that you perform an enema on a new inmate, it’s time to admit that you have a problem.

As a Correctional Officer, from getting in fist fights, suicides, severally mentally ill, blood, and etc. What freaked me out the most and still to this day give me chills are the ghost in the jail 😭 so much I seen and dealt with but the ghost raised my anxiety through the roof

this was in oompavilles playlist

I’m curious how one guard ended up in an elevator with that many murderers… I have a LOT of questions

One of the CRAZIEST people I've ever known was a prison guard, he should have been on the inside of the bars.

When I joined the Army my friend went in with me. We were both going to be MPs. At the last minute he switched to prison guard. I was shocked. But he loved it and became a California Correctional Officer. He did make more money than I did. But I wouldn't want his job.

An electric hot plate in a prison cell.....what could POSSIBLY go wrong?

Almost worked for a prison when I was younger. Seconds after turning in my application. I witnessed 2 inmates moping the floor near me. And both had arms bigger than my head. That was first & only time I asked for my application back & tore that thing up. I said h*ll no! 🤣

Prison officers deserve more respect. Every day they have to deal with the lowest of the low, and maintain a professional attitude. It can't be easy.

I’m confused. It doesn’t seem like any of these people quit because of what happened.

Fun fact on county jail. At least in America. Most people in there aren't even guilty they just can't afford bail while they await their hearing for their charges. Just to correct you on people being "guilty of lesser charges" remark

I would watch a whole video about prison guards that have had encounters with ghosts or other strange creatures

I made some mistakes in my younger years and went to jail for a year. It was full of grown man-children , it was REALLY bizarre. I’m a recovered drug addict and this was bizarre/sad. Sundays were sandwiches at dinner-never fail…an inmate FLIPPED over not having much jelly on his PB&J, smashed his tray off a holding cell window and broke it, then incited a riot 😯 This guy was actually from my area and recently passed in an accident. He was literally insane imo.

I'll watch this tomorrow morning I don't wanna have nightmares😂

Prison guard: I've seen some things Josef Mengle: I do say I am a poet myself

This video must have taken a long time to make.. making all the different inmates and whatnot. I just wanted to thank the whole team at the infographics. You're all doing awesome!

In 1989 I was working at Statesville in Illinois, and we had new guard, and it was his very first day in the cell house he was sent to get a prisoner and let him know he had a visitor this is when we saw him coming back to the office white as a sheet and shaking like a leaf and he was just mumbling he just kept saying they threw another prisoner at him off the number 4 gallery it seems that the guy died of natual causes and the other inmate in his cell grabbed him up and heaved him over we never saw that new guard again

I have work 5 plus years in Department of Corrections in Colorado and some of the incidents I have witnessed make some of these stories look like children's stories!!!
