  • 13:10 Tom Waits - Walk Away ... Great Track :)

  • I didn't know Chris Rene was in prison. Wasn't he just on the X Factor?

  • suppose he done bad stuff but why not give them ps3 with internet and cod mw3 if he survin life ... would be boring as fk otherwise

  • @mattyy101 why not? Because prison isn't supposed to be fun, duh.

  • the cypress hill soundtrack that seems to play throughout the documentary is nice

  • Louis looks shady as fuck walking out of there..

  • Just strolls out.

    Like some metaphor for life, something so vital can be so simple and easy for one guy and the next guy can be totally fucked.

    Yet they can stand there as equals and talk like nothings happening.

  • girls and freedom... that's what life is all about dude...

  • didnt hear anything from the latino gangs that practically run san quentin...i guess the nortenos and surenos [spelling?] prefer it that way

  • no matter what some of these guys mighty have done they deserve a second chance in life how can u sentence some1 up to 20 to life or 521years to life that's insane when a cop or an law enforcement commits a crime they try to cover it up and never go to prison America should stop this crap nor 1 should be above the law don't look at an inmate and just think they all a waist don't be surprised that yr furniture numberplate yr clothes art paintings are made by prisoners

  • @ZANDIJOHNSON let me rob you and take your money and stuff and then you can give me a second chance, K?

  • @ZANDIJOHNSON Really dephends on the person you put in prison, someone can change some just wanna kill more once you put them free

  • Great place for a nuclear detonation. The guards are just as bad as the inmates. Liquidate all of those low-animals and make the world a better place.

  • "I'm on my 401k" as a law-abiding citizen this pisses me off b/c I know it's true.

  • @femmefatale1990 It should make you sad.

  • "the one part I still hadn't seen was the release of prisoners..." how about death row?

  • @femmefatale1990 One does not simply visit death row.

  • "In prison there is no freedom and no women.... other than that its not so bad".

    I wouldn't call that really a life. sad ... give em at least women for fuck's sake...

  • stay strong playboy

  • Playboy is a fucking man. Try turn your back on the norteños and still be alive. They pick up homeless, mangled up 9 year olds and turn them into their livelyhood. Trained machines to shock, rob, maim and burn fucking everybody. And then they have to take the rap for them bosses. As the final tap on the shoulder. Pretty much like todays soceiety works in general. This guy defended his life against the worst type of predators banking controlled funding can create. Respect.

  • you can tell the guy at 12:37 has done some bad shit to get 500+ years but he doesnt act like hes done it which makes him look real plus what he says is that he grew up with nothing, nothing but a gun and a mind to shoot and rob people to make his money. sad really

  • Louis Theroux is hot, i want a husband just like him

  • @29Essan hello. my names jack and im just like louis theroux!!!

  • @jakboyk9f

    Louis is one of a kind

  • @29Essan

    Couldn't get a read on your gender from your page but Louis is gay and something tells me that he's not the "husband" in his relationships.

  • @lesterclaypool1

    lol im a woman. i think hes good for marriage because he can talk about things if there ever was a issue between him and his wife. Theroux might not be the man who storms out of the house, like most men do these days. this doesn't make him gay, society dosent allow men to express their feelings.

  • lois could be straight but homo curious.he is 25 yr old in this.

    In(2008) he is married with 2 kids. in england alot of private school guys like louis,their accent is gentler/more femme than most yanks.

  • @pickasomangoes

    I'm not basing my statement on his accent, I'm basing it on things that I know from when I was living in the UK. Marriages of convenience happen in entertainment. We'll let Graham Norton and Stephen Fry be on our televisions but in knowing that they're gay some preoccupy way too much time worrying about that irrelevant fact.

    Sometimes it's better for ones' career to live "straight" especially when your gonzo journalism already makes some uncomfortable .

  • SIN! Sin is the problem, Louis.

  • silva seems like a decent guy and quite the intellectual. it's a shame he made the wrong decisions in life.

  • @s3norshake yeah I thought the same

  • I find it strange that someone gets 521 years without murdering anyone. I tink Da Silva got the wrong lawyer.

    greetz from Amsterdam

  • @MrTommyXL that's true. But we in the Netherlands (woon ook in amsterdam) are used to the fact that our sentences are quiet soft in comparing to the states I guess. Someone who kills a person very cruel will get in our country sometimes 12 years, that's beyond crazy.

  • @MrTommyXL he tortured the people whose homes he broke into. as he said earlier on in the documentary, most of those people would've wished they'd died. i dunno, i kinda think that would warrant at least a life sentence. and then you don't know how many victims there were, could've been 10, could've been 100, i agree compared to others it might be an odd sentencing, but as an isolated case even though he seems relatively articulate and almost charming, he must be a cruel man to do those things

  • @MrTommyXL

    Combined crimes in the USA carry an insane sentence, sometimes.

    For instance, assault with injury might only carry an 8 year sentence but combine it with a home invasion and it's jacked up to 50.

    In New York State in the 70's first degree murder was defined only as murder of an officer of murder while committing another crime. That may have changed over the years but it gives you some idea of how particular the laws can be.

  • i love to do home invasions

  • lol cypress hill once more !

  • Thanks for sharing...luv Louis. Yeah...I'm also peed off at the scum bag paedo. It seems he hasn't taken responsibility for his actions- it's easy to blame a 'demon' or the devil for his actions- abusing innocent children. If he was that true to God, I would've expected to see him displaying different behaviours. Urgh. He disturbed me.

  • and the song at the end...thank you

  • does anybody know the name of the song starting at 5:04 something im almost sure its cypres hill but the name song....

  • @kiranrambocus87 hits from the bong

  • @dankchops Thank you

  • 70 %re-offending rate just shows American prisons don't work.

  • @jonnyperry92 yeah from about a mile away!

  • he also didnt get to go to death row...

  • 09:12 521 years to serve........!!?

  • @cfei12 ... +11 life sentences ^_^

  • I really enjoy Louis Theroux documentaries, he seems to ask the questions that I want to know

  • Fascinating documentary. Strangly the most shocking part for me was the pedo who who blamed his actions on the devil... beyond creepy

  • @padstar999 yeah he was creepy u can tell the pedo to the murderers i think

  • @padstar999 your right its creepy substituting personal responsibility and transfering to a 'supernatural' force.What hes saying is when the decision was made that sexual gratification trumped concern for his victims it wasnt HIS decision ,it was made elsewhere by a remote entity or something.Good for him hes got 'faith'...it doesnt excuse his actions,what a weakling.

  • @padstar999

    yeah.. that guy's a piece of shit.

  • Awesome documentary!

    Did anyone else noticed that "Debra " looks and behaves a lot like Shane Dawson?

  • Louis usually takes part in whichever documentary he does, in Las Vegas he gambled 3,000, in Africa he went on a hunt, in LA he had plastic surgery. I was thinking he might get gang raped in prison, then nothing.

  • 5:15 song??

  • @area51er6 cyperss hill .-mota

  • louis rules!

  • "if you put your mind to it - I'm on my 401K no worries re food shelter etc......" - he has the right attitude. I know a couple lifers and that must be how they get through. If you don't torture yourself it does not bother you - cudos to David Silver for having a realistic attitude. I would go nuts immediately (not net, no park, no booze from a store etc etc...) They deserve credit for dealing so well, as I know often these crimes are simply impulses not controlled rather then a 24/7 lifestyle

  • Lets send the internet trolls to this prison and lets see how they react. 

  • its all about substitution for love. As Playboy said, he first got into the gang life because of a feeling of love, security, a bond; when we dont have real love in this life we look for a substitute for it. Its all about the quest for finding out about love, this life. No matter to what extent.

  • Studies have shown humans will over-ride their own ethics when they are "following orders" or laying the blame doing a horrendous act to someone in authority. (Look at our wars for example, or Nazi Germany...) Many people were just 'following". It seems so many of these people are in gangs and such, and know what they do is wrong, but are 'following orders' so they get caught. Interesting to note, the monkeys in said study had more moral strength than humans posed with a choice to hurt for gain.

  • @20LookInside12

    "said study"

    If it''s the "said study" that I'm thinking of it's too often quoted for the fact that it wasn't a proper scientific "study". No control group, no understanding, intent, or experiences of the subjects noted. Basically, the "study" could have been populated with abuse survivors who only know how to comply to garner attention from others. I would look into the fallacy of "said study", if I were you, before you go around extolling it's shaky "findings".

  • Wait, he said he was a Northerner-isn't that a Spanish Gang? I don't know that much about it. I don't think any gang will keep you up in drugs. Playboy seems to

    have some common sense for a young guy.but that CO knows him better than anybody and said he'll be back.I have a good friend that bounces in and out of Cal.Prison and one thats in and out of Ohio Facilities.I wonder if Rob,Debbies man will become someone else's punk or get another.

  • I have an idea for a volunteer prison plan. Bring a camera and a notepad. We ask the inmate to state any message to the woman and kids at home. We write down the addresses at the notepad and send the tapes to them. Here is the catch tough. We select the inmates and warn prior to our visit to jail to tape them. It will give them enough time to express their messages to the family. We also would do that twice a year only until the release. It will motivate him to change. I hope.

  • I dig this guy at 00:10. I swear he´s the kind of guy I´d help out with a job and have a normal life as well as the gay guys.

  • @franciscodudeful Well, You're talking bout Playboy right? I really respect your open mindedness and he does

    seem smart and has a charming personality.But,By the way he's talking he don't want to change.he's still taking about "Makin Money" and I don't think he means working.As far as the gays go, i couldn't get a read on Rob,but Debra that was leaving is almost 40,did half her life inside and I don't see a desire for change in her.The last guy,they should drop in a vat boiling oil.

  • @scumgod13 Even tough I live in a really violent society I really try not to be violent towards others. I just want the best for everybody even the turture sadist mr Silva. I believe there is a glimmer of light at least.

  • @theguyyouwannabe99 lmao same here, now go get your F***in shine box!

  • @bondservant4Him Oh man, Best scene in the Movie...Well, one of them.That movie's kinda like Reservoir Dogs, it's on big series of best scenes. A deer got it's "Paw" caught in their grill.

  • @scumgod13 lol eating a four course meal at 3 in the morning

  • @scumgod13

    Are you talking about Goodfellas?

  • @sonykroket Yea, I am. One my fave Mob movies.

  • @scumgod13

    A hoof got caught in the grill, not a paw

    LOL they had the same argument in the movie

  • @sonykroket Yea, I remember he was going uh, it's ummm paw got caught in the grill and someone else was like it's a deer hoof. Here they are with a table full of food arguing about a deer hoof when there's no deer only a man tied and beat up in the trunk.lol. I love that shit!

  • @scumgod13

    It is one of the best gangster/mafiamovies of all time.

    Together with Casino and Scarface

  • @sonykroket mean streets and raging bull are better

  • Officer Alejos looks like Casey Anthony's dad.

  • Playboy Nolan looks like a white nigger!

  • @jesuswashere0000 why so much hate?

  • @Jonzer1983 Because wiggers are the bottom feeders of society, lower than black because at least they have a choice.

  • @jesuswashere0000 I understand what you are saying. But to me that word describes regardless of race somebody who doesnt contributes anything to society, if he happens to be like playboy nolan wig or some random black guy = nig. I wouldnt call somebody who does good in his life and society for that word though.

    I am rambling on, i hope you know what i mean.

  • u cut some out.....wtf

  • HAHAH THE FAGGOT 

  • a world without women... god knows all guys have girl problems from time to time. but fuck living without girls. that would be so gay.

  • if they can, any man could without turning gay. women these days aren't worth shit anyway. thats why the world is so fucked up is because of a woman. If dumb ass Eve wouldn't have bitten that fruit, we'd be good.

  • beautiful sf day @ the end

  • 4:22

  • what's the name of the cypress hill song that comes at 05:15?

  • @kopavogsbui is the spanish version of "i want to get high"

  • @aztekzoulz thanks

  • Why is it that there hasn't been a person who has pacifically gone out to murder those who Murder innocent, Rape woman and children. In my country if you even as much lay a hand on someone just say robbing your house you would be the one to go to jail but to kill those who give misery to innocent people i would consider that person a hero but he would still have to go to jail, MY COUNTRY'S SHIT. 

  • @jimmy88ere killing in any context is morally and ethically wrong

  • @peevag14 Yes it is but killing for no reason keeping the ones who have done wrong alive in a cell just doesn't fit the crime, if anyone was to kill, rape, abuse anyone in my family i'd want to do very nasty things to them and i think you would do the same we're animals at the end of the day and if killing is wrong all together then all of nature itself must be stopped.

  • @jimmy88ere Are you civilized? If you want to behave like an animal there are tribes over in Africa for that. Looser...

  • @boi187 Why am i a loser? So someone killed or raped a member of your family how would you feel? knowing there in a cell ALIVE.

  • @jimmy88ere Prison is a miserable existence. I would rather see them rot in a cell than get the easy way out (death penalty).

  • @boi187: That doesn't apply to everyone. Some people would rather be in prison because they've adapted/consider it their home and some people would rather die by the death penalty than be in prison.

  • these guards make the miami mega jail guards seem outrageously retarded and un educated

  • Kill them all and let god sort them out...including this bleeding heart, moronic, limey asshole. Full life in prison like that cocksucker means - at current rates - over 4 million dollars to keep him in there. Cost of a bullet? A dime. What's the point in being tough on crime if you're not tough on prisoners. The Russians had it right in dealing with this scum. Mass executions and/or the gulag!

  • @LeCutter i agree with u in Australia ppl like them are really blessed we have no death sentences we have no harsh jail terms u have 2 kill ur kids and wife 2 get a life sentence in a respect 3 ppl have 2 die 4 1man 2 go 2 jail with 3 life sentences y do 3 ppl have 2 die other then that id rather sentence them 2 death y should kids have 2 die at the hands of these semi humans parasites like

  • Respond to this video... this is what happens in Australia ppl they go 2 jail serv a sentence get a bf after clicking up with a gang as well as friends then they come out in every day life 10 times worse and commit an even worse crime i say get rid of the scum rather then try an change em u cant change ppl its up 2 them 2 wanna change but they dont so fuk em bring bak death sentences Australia

  • Comment removed

  • the guy at the end looks like a fatter and older version of mac miller

  • @applemaccer haha lol, really? I can't see similarities lol

  • Wonderful documentary. Ive been to San Quinton as an inmate - but I was just passing through... Knock on wood. Respect.

  • When Cypress KICKS in its almost poetry!

  • wtf is with the guards eyes @4:30-4:50?

  • @meowandmeow I was just wondering the same thing - What the fuck is he on... CRAZY!

  • very disregarding title if you ask me but an excellent video nonetheless as usual great job Louis

  • Louis shouldve took over while he was in there , he's a thirtysixth dan okinawan karate champion u know!

  • Anyone know the song at the very end?

  • @rizlaks8 Tom Waits 'Walk Away'

  • All I know is that Louis Theroux is one brave and talented individual.

  • what does the guy say at 13:06?

  • @elinska88 "gotta obey the law now!" i think

  • ppl dont talk about it , but the gang culture mostly comes from poverty stricken youth who have nothing who come together to share for wat social issues are having things missing from their lives. its just drugs and guns and culture make them act out this bad . everythings statistics. america is fucked and it KNOWS it is.

  • If i did not feel bad about it, then I am a cold hearted person

  • @NIFootie2010 i bet he killed a bunch more

  • I like Theroux's documentaries, but not this one. Did not like what it was focused on. When I think of San Quentin, I think of gang violence immediately. It's pretty much the main thing about the place. I know Louis touched on it in the early parts of the documentary, but not enough. Shame really. Perhaps it was just too much of a dangerous issue to investigate in this place.

  • @azianchickle I think he thought it would be too obvious. He has a new doc on miami prisons and touches on that. I think its a great he decided just to talk to the prisoners and how the feel about life rather than going down the normal well trodden route talking about the gang violence

  • yo quiero fumar mota

    cypress hill

  • the song is called "yo quiero fumar mota" de cypress hill

  • 5:10 what's the song?

  • @Shlothify i want to get high ,  cyprus hill

  • herd mentalities, like animals

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome Tom Waits song at the end. They should make Tom Waits music mandatory in prisons. It's therapeutic for hard-livin' men.

  • There isn't really much point in living for that guy

  • Man, in prison you;d learn to be SO pro at masturbating.

  • Great Doc, I guess Louis was on a Cypress Hill kick too!

  • is that tom waits at the end?

  • ''you got to understand. Just because I'm on this side of the gate and I'm not gang active right. Don't mean I'm any less of a man than them out there. I can still fight like them. I can still make money like them. I can still attack. I can still program just like them''

    And there lies the problem, the twisted belief that acting like them is what being a man means. To be a human male isn't the same as being a male ape. We are suppose to be civil, law abiding, rational thinking species. /sigh

  • @erzan according to whom?

  • @NegativeNick Are you asking me who believes humans are suppose to be civil, law abiding and rational thinking species? is this actually a serious question? lol.

  • @erzan Yes. My point is that none of that is guaranteed. It's all normative ideals.

  • @NegativeNick I am fully aware of what normative ideals means. But I think its a bit of a stretch to deny we are not more rational thinking than apes. Just because a tiny minority choose not to engage in civil society, stray from the norm and so on. Besides I did say 'we are suppose to' (which was a normative descriptive statement) :P

  • @erzan Well said!

  • @erzan I understand, but in a way I believe the only laws that we as humans should be following are the laws of nature. Yeah, the human brain is advanced, but we are still animals. As a species we've completely lost touch with nature and the earth and that has a lot to do with why the world is so fucked up and getting worse...Whose standards are we living by? Who decided that humans need to act and live a certain way? Animals are free but humans will never be, whether we're in jail or not.

  • Brillianty documented!

  • i feel sorry for these people, perhaps they should trade these guys with the westborough baptists?

  • @Vermin298 Some of them sure, and those scumbags from Westoboro were the worst of the worst, but a lot of the guys in this are just sociopathic pieces of shit. The pedos, that dead-eyed home invasion psycho etc. They just deserve a bullet.

  • @LondonPride25 obviously not all of them but most of them clearly arent being helped by being locked away.

  • @LondonPride25 no one deserves to die before there natural time.

  • @MadDog291000 You're right, that was emotion talking. I didn't really mean it.

  • @Vermin298 You feel bad for all of the proud pedophiles who use satan as an excuse? You feel bad for the men who feel justified to steal from others because their life wasn't AS easy? You feel bad for the murderers? Westboro might be assholes but they aren't nearly as bad.

  • @DoctorRainbow8321 most of them are clearly mentally challenged and prison cant rehabilitate them, most of the westboro people are incapable of realising theyre wrong and wont ever bother to apologise for what theyve done. so yes. i feel sorry for what looks like a handful of murderers and thieves (i dont care what happens to paedophiles, they can be castrated and put in a box for all i care) that are mentally still in their teens.

  • @Vermin298 Westboro ARE mentally ill, moreso than these people are. Some of them aren't even mentally ill. We use that excuse because we don't understand them. They're just freaks that enjoy killing, they'll never be fixed. I'm sure you wouldn't feel sorry if it were your family getting murdered or your family getting stolen from. Learn to feel for the victims instead of the criminals.

  • @DoctorRainbow8321 i never said i wasnt sorry for the victim and do you really think ive never been the victim of a crime? having all your worldy possessions sure does suck but is that really enough reason to put the person that stole from you in the same group as murderers and rapists? im not here saying they should be set free im just saying that maybe not all the people in prison really belong there and THAT is sickening.

  • Wait, Playboy said he was in the Northern Structure, which is a Hispanic gang.

  • cyprus hill all the way

  • What a great program. I like this guy... Will watch more of his stuff. :)

  • Debra...? or Mickey Avalon?

  • @cass3588 i eard you was dating her on the county jail

  • @normansmother1 Agreed. This is like paradise for a guy who kills/molests/tortures people. They deserve so much worse.

  • Comment removed

  • fascinating documentary, Louis Theroux is a fantastic host and presenter, he adds a very reasonable human touch along with journalistic objectivity. great upload.

  • Deborah seems really decent, I wonder what happened to her... did Louis do a follow up show or anything?

  • Why can't oh... 4% or so of journalists be as awesome as Louis Theroux? That would seriously give us enough quality news to wipe out the diseases like Pox... errr... Fox... "news" (that political media machine and year round conservative fundraiser). Even just a few dozen full time reporters as great as him would give us a few for covering natural disaster relief, a few for political mumbo jumbo, a few for international war type things, etc. &even a few for what is interesting and timeless :)

  • San Quentin? easy street - he should have filmed in HMP Ashwell if he wanted tough.

  • there's something about playboy nolan ;)

  • @whickystix haha :)

  • He makes great documentaries.

  • What was the song at the end?

  • @izzyepp its tom waits - walk away
