  • This is a mega priso. Im sure they get along in there considering there is less than 500 inmates lol. But still. I say Quentin is worse because there is all kinds of inmates in there, its not supermax, but its pretty notorious. You find all types of criminals, skin heads, latin gang members, black gang members. Asians.

  • this is the most maximum security jail. this is where terrorists and top gang leaders go. this has nothing on san quentin, attica, rikers island, pelican bay.

  • @TheShootTruth10

    Dont ever mention Rikers when you talk about prisons. Rikers is not a prison. Its like a holding for petty criminals who cant afford bail, and can only be held for a year.

  • @MarcianoMarcel didnt know that. thanks.

  • some of the terrorists we caught end up here now.

  • Tommy Silverstein is a famous inmate. Transfer from Levenworth "NHC" (no human contact) cell after his transfer from USP Marion (then THE highest security prison on the planet and the only level 6).

  • @ChristopherSaindon

    What? USP marion is a medium level security prison...

  • @pijef That's correct. It is now a Medium security prison, but retained it's USP title. I said "then" the highest security. It was the prison that started the supermax era. Look up "Waiting for Time USP Marion" on youtube; this was done back in the days when it was still a level 6. It was the most feared designation you could receive as a federal inmate. The 23-hour lockdown began after October 22, 1983 after two guards were killed within 24 hours. Ive never seen that much razor wire either :-(

  • @ChristopherSaindon

    Oh, sorry for my incompetence. I did not realize that, lol.

  • @pijef Easy. I take myself way too seriously I'm sorry. I didn't say you were incompetent :-) Didn't mean to come off like that my friend. I really enjoy everything I have taught myself about the local, state, and federal prison systems -- just enthusiastic. It's funny too because as a reporter in MS back in the late 90s (in my 20s) I thought I was a pretty tough guy for my size. Then I had an interview with a guy in Parchman Prison..he could have smashed me like a Mosquito. VERY scary places..

  • @ChristopherSaindon Ah, nice. I also enjoy learning about ADX ans USP penitenteries. Definitely the LAST place on earth I would want to be. I'm just interested in federal bureau of prisons for some reason, maybe from watching scared straight, lol. When it comes to more "3rd" world like countries it gets darker and scarier. With ADX supermax facilities you have way less human contact, obviously avoiding injury from serious terrorist and rape. Horrible.

  • @ChristopherSaindon so this place is no longer the biggest of the big houses? this is where bin ladens boys are at.

  • @TheShootTruth10 Where did I say it wasn't? It's the highest security federal prison in the system without exception. My comments earlier were about the Control Unit in USP Marion; it's medium security now despite retaining the USP heading. In the 80s and early 90s it was THE only level 6 facility in the country, and the first "Supermax" in the United States. So again, what was your question?

  • @ChristopherSaindon ok you were talking about the other building. my bad.

  • @TheShootTruth10 No prob :-)

    

  • no, the prison you see is the FCI. There are 4 prisons on this complex. low camp, fci, usp and adx.

  • This is the Supermax but it isn't. Driving down this road you can see a portion of the prison however this is not the Supermax part. The whole complex is a series of different security levels. The actual supermax prisont cannot be seen from the road. You can get a good shot of it from the nearby Summo golf course. ( kinda cool to see when you're golfing.).............. I live about 39 minutes away

  • McVeigh was a Sniper , and would kill his targets at 5 miles away,, one shot .........

  • Timothy McVeigh was not executed in Florence, Colorado Supermax.....he was executed in Terre Haute, Indiana federal prison.

  • What was shown was not the supermax, it was the medium security prison. Theres 4 prisons on that site. The supermax cannot be seen from the road. The absense of gun towers should have given you a clue.

  • Wow. Just looking and reading about this place is enough to thoroughly drive me crazy..... :S

  • Sick fucks live there.

  • timothy mcviegh did not die there he was ther but was transfered to the prison in terre haute, id where he died

  • some cartel members from colombia/ mexico(farc included), larry hoover, omar portee,terry nichols,barry mills , jihadists, and many others. From what i remember they have less then 500 inmates.

  • vinny gorgeous basciano 'former acting boss of the bonanno crime family has just been sent there. prosecutors wanted a death sentence but his lawyer argued that doing life in that hell hole is suffient punishment. i read there's other mobsters from new york serving time there, like gregory scarpa jr and mob informant and formar luchese family underboss anthony gas pipe casso

  • I know the daughter of the federal judge that was murdered by woodys dad...

  • alcatraz of the rockies they called it.

  • jesse jacksons brother was at the usp and the Freeman from montana.. a Gov.or two. woody's dad was at the ADX, killing a judge over weed. lol crazy. And usually all the leaders of any gang are there,,crips bloods, skinheads or a.b. cowards. Mafia. The unibomer lived just over the hill. seen his cabin going down the interstate one day..wierd. they took his whole house..wtf.?? hahaha

  • I was in the USP next door. we dropped off a inmate there. It was at least 8 guards w machine guns and one video taping the whole thing. He had on a hanibal lector mask. musta been one bad dude. they didnt even get near him, just directed him down a hall. crazy. I would rather have been in the ADX. The USP had the cowboys gang of guards, they created and loved racism..to keep us divided and hating each other. stabbings everyday. never knew if that day was my last. I was in the hole for 2yrs.

  • One of the most clearest supermax prisons. The prisoners can walk only 1 hour at the hall, the rest 23 hours he sits in his noise illuminating chamber which I believe 2x3 meters or such.

  • tim mcveigh didnt die there.

  • This isn't just any prison. It's an illuminati elite torture chamber.

    The Great Screaming Hell.

  • I used to live there. Still visit mi mom every once and a while. it hasn't changed

  • Thats not Super Max, thats a florece federal prison. You cant see super max from the highway. But it is behind that one sort of down in a dip.

  • Hahaha the Prison you show is actually the Medium security prison also known as an FCI (Federal Correctional Institution) The Supermax is way in the back were no one can see it! Also known as United States Penitentiary Administrative Maximum (ADX) Oh and Mcviegh did not die there, the federal Death Row is in Terre Haute Indiana!

  • Everyone needs to learn that 9/11 was the American regime nuking its own largest city, and it created the China Syndrome which then poisoned thousands of responders and millions of NY residents.

    Google "9/11 Cancers"

  • my moms boyfriend works there also

    other prisoners that are there

    Ramzi Yousef: Known for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and Operation Bojinka, senior al-Qaeda member

    Mutulu Shakur:serving 60 years for a bank robbery in which a policeman and two guards were killed. Stepfather of late rapper Tupac Shakur

    Mohammed A. Salameh: the 1993 World Trade Center bombing

    Robert Hanssen: former senior FBI agent serving life for espionage

    and many many many more 

  • i wish they let a tv crew in there i would love to see the inside. not as an inmate though lol

  • Wave to Joseph Edward Duncan!!!

  • Raul Leon (mexican mafia leader), Barry mills and tyler bigam (aryan brotherhood leaders) and many other big names.

  • @Choppa302 ,

    When did Raul Leon go there ? ,,,, I just saw a vid of him in pelican bay, might have been an older vid though,,, hes got to be the whitest mexican ever

  • @FIRECRACKER392 jus go on google and type in florence supermax inmates and it will give u a whole list of names

  • my friend Tommy Silverstein is there, he has spent 27 years in isolation.

  • Thank you for this video.

  • Actually, Tim McVeigh died in Terre Haute, Indiana. But he DID live there at one time...

  • @Fenlonphotography your correct in both of your statements. as a colorado resident i will add that he spent most of his time locked up at the colorado federal penitentiary in littleton. i went to high school a mile away and we were definitely freaked out.

  • i dont agree with prisons like ADX we here in Australia have Goulburn Supermax which is the same as ADX an many people want it closed. Yes the people in such prisons are bad but to be subjected to 23 hours of total sound proof isolation is in human. Many people in our Supermax have begged people on the outside to let them in at least a maximum security prison.the world of concrete an soundproof doors and walls is not right for any human.

  • @vsboy25 its inhuman to rape and muder and do other shit to humans when they do they shud be locked up 24/7 throw away the key u said they were bad but thts not how i think they are scum they are animals they shud be locked like animals tht they are.

  • @trinitystarr11

    I believe that as ALL people make mistakes in life most acts like that are because of factors like drugs an alcohol as God has made humans respectful people but external factors alter that.

    I think they should be released and should be made to teach young offenders how to make correct decisions.

    Such places like these prisons are wrong an need to be closed as they go against the fabric of humanity.

  • Im sorry but no matter how bad these prisons are the people that are there deserve it. If they were tortured I would feel no empathy what these people did was horrific and that is why they are in ADX florence. They murdered people and took lives they deserve to have their's end in such a horrific place.

  • barry mills the boss...

  • Your video was showing the fci the beige colored prison. That is not where the unabomber is. He is in the adx the prison to the east of the fci, and the usp is to the north of the adx and the camp is to the south of the fci. Adx has towers the prison you were showing has zero. The adx is red brick does it sound like I know what I'am talking about

  • not that these people probably do deserve it but tshit looks like a concentration camp. Should be closed. Rather kill people than put them in horrific places like this - more cost efficient to.

  • McViegh was put down by lethal injection At Terra Houte ID

  • Not just the unibomber...Some of the guys who created these gangs running around, are right in there.

  • I thought McVeigh was executed in Indiana?

  • Terry Nichols is there. Richard Reid is there. Thomas Silverstein is there (longest prisoner in US history to be locked in solitary confinement, since 1983)

  • timothy mcveigh was executed at the federal prison in terre haute, indiana. not in colorado

  • its pretty bad but there are worse places you could be. they get food & water which is more than some people on the streets get. plus they are safe

  • i wanna know what it would be like for a white inmate to go to prison for the first time , i wanna know if people start problems with u when u get there since ur not gang affiliated, i wanna know if u ever saw someone die and what emotions u felt when seeing open wounds and blood gushing out

  • tell me about prison

  • like the comment yea me too tell ya bout that place too!

  • I really wish people would figure out what the hell they were talking about before they broadcast worldwide!!! That prison isn't ADX, it is the FCI. Florence is a complex. There are 4 different prisons there from the minimum camp to the supermax (ADX). They don't execute in Florence, it is done in Indiana.

  • @TheresaS211 ..exactly Theresa..i was at the USP and the FCI for 11 yrs.and then in terra haute when Mcviegh was executed

  • Google "Many Small Fission Nukes at the WTC"

  • This guy has no idea what he is talking about the prison he is showing you is fci florence not adx. I know I was there

  • @jpuswsl ...when? what years.I was at the FCI from 1999 to 2007.. norwood bravo & mesa bravo

  • Sarah Palin is in there.

  • This is where they send the worst of the worst prisoners. Everything is concrete from the beds to the sink to pretty much everything. There is little to no human contact and if you want to make a prisoner's life a living hell, cut them off from human contact as much as possible.

  • omar abdel-rahman wadih el-hage matthew hale robert hanssen larry hoover theodore kaczynski john walker lindh juan matta-ballesteros zacarias moussaoui terry nichols richard colvin reid eric robert rudolph dwight york ramzi yousef
  • all the highest ranking members of the mexican mafia the black guerilla family and the aryan brotherhood are housed here!!!!

  • sammy the bull gravano

  • not to mention tyler the hulk bingham, barry the baron mills, thomas silverstein

  • Hey cool! My brother lives there.

    Thanks for the video man!

  • Wait, your brother lives in Florence or in the prison? ;)

  • I'm pretty sure he lives in the big building at the 16 second mark.

    The people who read our letters don't want us to know anything about the place so they censor the letters by blacking out stuff.

    I live in Texas, do you live close to Florence? If you do could you drive by again and say "Hey Jerry" for me? It would mean a lot!

  • I used to live close to Florence, but now I live in Japan. I would have been glad to do that for you if I was still there. Sorry to hear about your brother.

  • All new houses...bet that alot of poor and homeless folks would like to live there......free meals, nice new home and fully serviced....no bills. Its a shame that you've got to do something really bad in return.

  • Yeah, no kidding! I've thought that for years. Not to mention, we tax payers provide all of this!

  • Now you pay taxes that go to people who already have everything and just get a kick out of stealing you blind and think you are to stupid to do anything about it. Did you think about that one? Now who would you rather give your money to if you had to give it away anyway?

  • That is a great question! I guess I would give my money to a charity that I was a part of or my family or someone I personally knew who needed help. What about you?

  • Healthcare is terrible organised. The chance for everybody to go to college and the quality of education can use some money. The infra-structure..roads and bridges need maintenance. The Policeforce can use some money to fight organised gangs and clean up the mess in backwards neighbourhoods. Man there are so many causes where money is well spent. But for some sick and stupid reason it practically all goes to the militairy and pockets of corrupt people.

  • These days the people who have no worries about money are only worried about getting more. They do not care about some poor kids future or how poor people must pay their medical bills. They live a happy life and avoid the poor neighbourhoods. Thewy do not want to be confronted with such visuals and problems in their lives. The live the american dream and it should not have terrible pictures in that dream. The rich have stopped carring about the less fortunate in the USA.

  • The only thing that matters is how to secure their investments, to protect themselves from the poor and be a good hypocrite when asked questions about the overall health of the country. Ofcourse there are initiatives to help the less fortunate but these are mostly organised by the poor themselves and rely on donations. The government also tries to do something but in a minimal way...because they have to. Lets hope that Obama will make a change and not seek and support fights with other nations.

  • You make great points here, I too believe the mindset of America is not focused where it should be, this has been a problem for many years and it seems to get worse as the condition of the entire world degenerates. It is a problem that, unfortunately, will probably not be solved until it is too late.

    I have always thought that the key is proactive thinking. For example, increase spending for education and in time, this will decrease crime, thus reducing spending for prisons.

  • That is just one area, one tiny way to change the thinking of America. The problem is, we have the mentality of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" instead of a mentality of preventative maintenance. Ahhh... I can go on all day about this!

  • Actually the facility you see from the street there is the FCI (medium) the ADX where all the high profile guys are is further back off the road, you can't really see it too well. You can see all four of the prisons there if you look on google maps.

  • Hmm.. I'll check it out.

  • Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso is there and Sammy "The Bull" Gravano also. Gravano is dying from a disease I can't remember the name now, but Casso is strong minded and trying to get the govt to honor the deal they made with him as seven years time served. If you want to learn about anthony I recommend the book "Gaspipe" confessions of a mafia boss by Philip Carlo.

  • Nice, thanks for the recommendation!

  • The government purposely made Florence a supermax and is housing the best criminals in history. The government may one day use these prisoners to there advantage. It houses islamic leaders, the Enron Ceo, the leader of the Neo Nazi, the leader of of the Latin Kings, and the list goes on. The government intentionally built this prison in the state with the highest altitude. The prisoners here are a fucking all-star team of criminals. Why is the government doing this?

  • Now that's a scary thought! Kinda reminds me of that movie "Demolition Man" from the early 90s.

  • Barack Hussein Obama ought to be living at Supermax because he is raping and pillaging the United States to feed his massive ego and socialist government.

  • arayan brotherhood is there :D

  • Comment removed

  • 9/11 "Masterminds" George Bush Sr. and Robert Gates

  • I'm not even going there (I don't necessarily disagree!)

  • eric rudolph is there, 96 olympic bomber, mutula shakur stepdad to tupac, and barry mills one leader of the aryan brotherhood is there as well

  • Damn, seems like the list is never ending! Thanks for the info!

  • Also Richard Reed - the shoe bomber is there. He was trying to explode an airplane over the Atlantic.

  • I remember that guy! I didn't realize he was there too.

  • you'd be surprised how many famous assholes live in there, wiki it, robert hanssen is in there too along with the 1993 wtc bomber.

  • "famous assholes" nicely put!!!!

  • i think hes da most famous one there

  • next time can we get a view from the inside, it'll be real easy for you to get in just commit a heinous crime and BAM your in.

  • Haha, very funny! :) actually, I wonder how hard it would really be. I think it would take a repeat of heinous crimes over and over to earn yourself a concrete bedroom at ADX!

  • it's a federal prison.most inmates are organised crime bosses, prison gang leaders and terrorists. also those who have committed multiple prison homicides in the fed system end up here too.

  • being one of the highest security prisons (or THE highest) I know the crime must be pretty intense to get sent here.

  • oh yeah no doubt. gnarly crimes!!

  • youre wrong there Tomothy Mcveigh did not die at florence he was executed somewhere else.adx florence does not have a deathchamber, he lived in florence for about a year before being moved

  • I realized this after I posted it. I'll make a comment on the video. Thanks for catching the mistake.

  • np great video by the way. adx florence is nasty

  • yeah, the more i read about it the nastier it seems.

  • As an adolescent interested in law, I've done some research of this prison. This prison is literally "Hell on Earth", in that matter.

    Prisoners here are incarcerated 23-23 1/2 hours a day, and are only allowed to go out about 45 minutes a day for exercising only. They cannot come in contact with other prisoners.

    Robert Hanssen is also held here, who committed 15 counts of Espionage. I'm sure the majority of you heard of him before.

  • Wow! I hope it is hell. Might inspire people to not end up there! Have you found anything on how much it costs to hold one prisoner for a year?

  • Jeff Fort is here.Leader of the Black P Stones Nation

  • I just looked this guy up. Did you see that since his arrival at ADX in '95, he has had no human contact! That's crazy!!

  • Wayne Perry is here...famous hit man from DC during crack wars...see his wiki page

  • That is crazy! Good one!

  • The prison that you are seeing in this video is not the ADX Supermax but rather the medium security Federal Correctional Institution. The ADX Supermax is way in the back and cannot be seen from the road. Take it from me I use to work there.

  • Do you have any interesting stories that you can share?

  • Also, Mcveigh did not die in the ADXMAX. Rather, he was transferred to the Federal BOP Death Row in Terrahaute, Indiana, in 1999. He died by lethal injection there in 2001

  • I realized that after I made the video. I'll make a note, thanks for reminding me!

  • Timothy Mcveigh was held at the ADX and l the choppers picked him up the day of His execution at Terra Haute indiana also the shoe bomber Terry Nichols etc etc etc I seen Crazy cray sh** there just at the fci

  • Sounds like it! Wow!

  • Two Poly Islanders at the usp Killed their cellmate cut his stomache open with soup can lids and strung his intestines around the cell in a ritual type thing cop walked by doing count and they threw a half eaten piece of liver at the cell door window Those prisons all of them are the toughest ones in the whole Bureau of prisons The feds Hide alot of what goes on in there trust me I got the t shirt

  • WTF!!! Damn! That is unreal! Yeah, I can see why they would hide that kind of stuff! If that was on the evening news, all cheating husbands/wives would surely hide all the soup cans from their significant others! lol

    Thanks for sharing!

  • Yeah ya Know His dad was at the USP see its a Federal prison Complex there is the ADX the FCI The USP and The camp I forgot about woodys dad being there There was a story that went threw our yard at the fci I will re post again to tell it

  • I was just reading about this prison, I almost laughed when I saw that Woody Harrelson's dad was in there at one point, very, very bizarre.

  • Yeah, crazy! What I wonder is what possessed his dad to kill a judge!?

  • His dad was a contract hitman, that's why.

  • Well, that would be a perfect reason! Thanks for letting me know!

  • I was at the fci right next door for 3 years also in the adx is Matt hale david Lane was there before he died and richard scuturri lane and scutturi were white supremists from the order a group in washington who killed talk show host alan berg

    also Sammy the Bull

  • While there, did you hear any stories about what went on next door? Anything cool?

  • Actually, I think his father used to do that, but he ended up getting the nickname. This guy, "gaspipe," was involved in that whole "Mafia Cops" case a few years back. Gaspipe had two NYPD detectives, Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa, on his payroll. These two cops acted as hitmen.

  • Wow! The power of money is amazing. Guess there will always be corruption in our law enforcement agencies.

  • Also, Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso, former Luchese crime family boss, is there.

  • Any information on how he got that nickname? "Gaspipe"

    Probly beat people with a piece of pipe....

  • Sammy "the bull" Gravano is ther as well

  • The more I research, the more "famous" people I found out are being held there!

  • One of the Arella-Felix brothers is there ( he is from the tijuana cartel).

  • There were quite a few brothers who ran that cartel and it was Francisco Javier Arellano Félix who is being held here.

  • Thanks. Wikipedia has a list of notable inmates that are in ADX.

  • That they do sir, that they do ;)

  • Fuck I live in Colorado and I never knew the unabomer and Zacarias Moussaoui were incarcerated here. Hope they dont break out!

  • No kidding, right!!?? I've thought about that too!

  • Yeah I'm 150 miles from Florence. Wikipedia says ADX is considered the most secure prison in the U.S. so I don't think anyone is escaping.

  • Very true, but so was Alcatraz. Would you mind setting up a tent on that island and sleeping for a couple nights!..lol Imagine that! Should be on fear factor!

  • wow...just started reading about this. crazy.

  • It is, and it turns out there are a lot of prisons in Colorado in general, but more so in the Florence/Canon City area.

    Seems like it would be hard sleeping at night knowing the nation's worst bad-guys are "living" nearby!

  • It's actually not that hard to sleep at all!!!

  • Timothy McVeigh did time there but died in Terre Haute, Indiana.

  • Yeah, I found that out after I already posted the vid. One source I looked at said he was executed, but never said where. Anyway, thanks for correcting me!
