Louis Theroux, Behind Bars (1)

[SavedHealed]

10:33 is a classic look ,who is this guy anyways i never heard of him ever,cool video

[WSLAOK3]

louis theroux for fucking president!!!!! 

[BadWithNames123]

here in germany many of those people would also be in a locked psychiatric ward.. those people ware simply sick in their head.. putting them in a jail like this will not help them.

you see in america you lock people away.. here we try to find out what made the acted the way they did and if it is possible to somehow bring them back into normal life..

i don't know where it was but i ve seen a great documentary about a norwegian or somewhere scandinavian prison very interesting. might be louis

[TheRaysteve]

thanks alot for uploading these. very much appreciated friend

[crackcocaineisgood]

i love how the leader of the whites says, if they find out who's in charge ther gna slam me down....oops think u blew ur cover buddy

[MegaEmGem]

Lol i love how polite Louis is. He'll go up to a convicted murderer and say "How do you do?" and calk them 'Gentlemen'. I think that's one of the ways he gets them to open up so much, by showing them lots of respect.

[xBlackEditionx]

look at the scar the Sergeant has below his right ear. someone tried to give him a buck fifty. (150 stitches from ear to mouth)

[CabronDioz]

i love how Louis says 'Noodles' XDD

[CabronDioz]

i wanna drink some forties with playboy nolan, cruisin through some city on the west coast

[AndyMcNabStab]

8:50 blatantly the guy at the back with the moustache is in charge

[angelarichards1]

coffee and ramen noodles the staple of an inmate.

[MegaEmGem]

They say 50 years to life like it's nothing, i'd be devastated but they all seem very relaxed and surprisingly happy.

[GoldenCenturion]

Poor Anthony....50 to life, and I don't even think he did it.

[MaartenvWijk]

"Protect your major organs" exept your brain...

[MichaelScarn23]

man i wouldn't last 10 seconds in the bing!

[pulpfictionost]

louis theroux asks questions in a way, that if i asked them, they would punch me in the face

[SkyF0X9]

@pulpfictionost

It's probably because of his awkwardness that people don't find him threatening.

[littlemissmello]

as a complete nut for art history i can't help to notice the architecture of the prison building - isn't it stunning?

[maddboy3]

anyone know the song at 7:17? :)

[3ISAMAGICNUMBR]

I love how they say its the "white area" but in the background there is just some random Mexican dude standing there.

[3ISAMAGICNUMBR]

If every guard was like him, you wouldn't have an violence against guards in the prison.

[sarabower1]

@3ISAMAGICNUMBR not true it would be worse

[CaptainP00face]

Feces?

He said feces?

Poopoo.

LMAO

[CaptainP00face]

I love Louis so much, he sometimes acts really naive but is actually really smart.

I can't help feeling as if I was in the zoo looking at caged animals, just look at Louis face; the way he looks around is hilarious.

[femmefatale1990]

some of the men in the "white area" look Hispanic

[rickygervais1776]

@femmefatale1990 Hispanics can be white

[femmefatale1990]

@rickygervais1776 I know. I guess it's because I always expect the white guys to have some neo-nazis, etc in their group. Those idiots would be unlikely to give a damn if the person is of white ancestry.

[hyenapeptic]

Its disgusting how you people are pleased this criminals are getting treated like humans, these people are getting better treatment than homeless people for fuck sake, what is wrong with this world?

[CivilNL]

@hyenapeptic That means homeless people should get better treatment, these people are humans, the hell is wrong with you?

[hyenapeptic]

@CivilNL Homeless people should get MILES better treatment, and they gave up their human rights when they decided to ruin other peoples lives?!

[CivilNL]

@hyenapeptic Nobody ever gives up their human rights. The american prison system is a joke. Watch the Miami mega-jail documentary and tell me that's how things are supposed to be.

[NickLove333]

That's the coolest guard ive ever seen

[Comment276]

These people don't give 2 shits that their in prison. They are actually enjoying it, this is disgusting.

They should ALL be sentenced for life because they don't even regret doing the things they did. If you treat these people like animals, they WILL become animals and prison is just encouraging it.

[cyberboy222]

rum and noodles HE KNOWS

[TheStrappingNerd]

dumb animals

[godial]

Feces !!! Lol say shit man !!!

[Squashylemon]

anyone else pause the video at the 00.00 second mark and notice the pale guy who looks like he might be dead.... what was happening there....

[Violetmornings]

@Squashylemon its the channel ident for BBC2. Hes hiding in a 2 shaped hole from the guy in the background :)

[SmartAssLIVE]

some of those white guys look very mexican...

[Schism2o12]

11:10

I ain't gettin' on no plane foo'!

[peaceNlove561]

ew a badman's exposed dinky!

[Ultimate007Trini]

LOL, THE GUARD SAID POO POO @4:49

[blindcrackhead374]

poo poo 

[susupoosa]

@blindcrackhead374 yes i enjoy eating nigger po poo

[daaustin2]

you can tell that most of these guys have some mental handicap. They just look off. It is a statistic (please dont make me quote) that a large number of prisoners are diagnosed with autism, aspergers, adhd, etc. This is a problem with the education system. If they help people deal with it earlier, there would be less prisoners (atleast in theory)

[jurvinsilvania]

0:46 "he said feces?" that's poopoo" "oooh that" LOL

[DelDelincuentes]

lol 2:13 "Look how far it goes" he kind of liked, he even smiled :P

[crayzigurl]

11:02 lol

[somesortanaughty]

Seems kinda stupid to pass a sentence of 500 yrs....sounds childish. Until u die would sound much more adult.

[BurhanAbazi93]

ehehehhe collman

[Madoca3]

500 years and 11 life sentences DAYYUMM!!!

[RalphMuskinyaar]

if you guys are watching this

please dont end up in there, not worth it 

[jazz4]

A lot of people think Louis Theroux is a simple guy, but he's such a master at documentary filmmaking. He plays dumb for the audiences point of view and strips the people down to their basic thoughts and outlooks. He really does get down to it and asks the essentials whilst being real laid back. All of his documentaries are like mini masterpieces. His subject matters are fucking interesting.

[myopium]

@jazz4 So true.

[globogs]

@jazz4

word

[kye222]

@jazz4 yes! he really pokes people to try and provide some sound reasoning for what they believe and what not.

very laid back. i thought many times people would flip out on him because he presses all their buttons.

[jafro8]

2:25 "I'm a dangerous threat to the security of the institution." I thought that was so smart of that guy to give the official reason

[ShanesAutos]

did the camera man get an armoured vest?

[PascallaTanna]

5:26, chewing gum like a boss

[renaultlover1]

We British are far nicer to our prisoners than you yanks.

[TheWhiterose1603]

@renaultlover1 That is why our jails are full of immigrants who cant be sent home due to them missing their play station. Let the UK have jails like this and bring back the death sentence for child killers and rapist. I think the US have it right. In the UK we are to soft with our lot due to EU rights. You do the crime you lose your rights lock them up for 23hrs a day in a small cell.

[djmaxxl]

10:23 Ewwww......

[biady1]

white power

[TheAmericanDream25]

Maybe I'm crazy and stupid, but I DO feel terribly sorry for all of these guys. Something has caused them to do these things; something in their past, something in their childhood, something in their life has gone terribly wrong, and they ended up making some awful choises. But I feel sorry for them. I have 3 penpals on death row, and I wish I could visit them, and make sure that they don't die alone. Nobody deserves to die alone, and nobody deserves to be locked up without getting any help.

[r8ymond]

where the fk is the asian area

[DoctorRainbow8321]

@ColoradoKing26 It's prison, of course they're caged up. Or maybe you think they should be given better conditions even though they're in there for a reason. I'm sure you think about yourself or your parents when you see the criminals.

[chincheek1]

look how far it goes..thats nothing ive seen guys go like 8, 9 cells lol

[jtking2504]

I love Louis

[jijweethetookniet]

The inmates appreciate communication like this

[jijweethetookniet]

Louis is awesome :)

[useonceanddestroy73]

and that guard is great - honestly i think he isn't someone the convicts hate as he treats them as if they are human - not something all guards do :)

[MiniKirk]

@useonceanddestroy73 He's the sort of person who SHOULD be a prison guard, because he seemed to respect the sanctity of man's basic human rights. Of course, that too could have been a show for the cameras; just like the prisoners, the guard could have been putting on a show for Louis and his crew.

[sarabower1]

@useonceanddestroy73 doesn't matter a screw is a screw and he for the system

[useonceanddestroy73]

this is too funny - geek vs convicts! Just the way he speaks and the things he says...obviously rather ignorant of the whole situation :)

[jijweethetookniet]

@useonceanddestroy73

You obviously know nothing about Louis Theroux

Its a way to interview, its not ignorant, your being ignorant here

[TheWackadooFuckhead]

@jijweethetookniet A bit hypocritical yourself, no?

[illeshazy]

Thats the life many people are living to this day..

[ColoradoKing26]

Look how they caged up. No wonder it be riots.

[bazatc01]

Also 8:33 it's Fred ward from the 9os film Tremors...

[bazatc01]

7:50 It's Osama bin laden So thats where he was hiding before he was killed..

[Condeycon]

Nudity? On Youtube? Oh lawdy, the world is ending.

[philyB08]

@Condeycon Yeah a naked man, god forbid they show a naked lady, then it's a no no

[Condeycon]

@philyB08 Now you're just talking crazy. The female form is an icky terrible thing that should always be concealed under at least a minimum of 5 layers. 7 If she has any shame.

[philyB08]

@Condeycon Exactly young childrens eyes and mine will burn at the sight of even a bit of side boob, but full frontal male nudity, well have a gander kids!

[Asianspice0]

does anyone know the song at 10:08? so chill and mellow

[41gagavision]

I love louis accent so HOT! and he is a great at making documents. and my gawd behind bars I would be shitting my pants even being in front of that jail.

[BAYAREA4150]

fukn CO laughing i bet he likes piss and sht thrown at him

[shristi1987]

OMG...He is walking aorund the prison and in the scariest place and so totally cool

[justin6969ist]

All the prisoners seem to be really nice to Louise :)

[HeseQ]

Espers Yeahhhh  Great Music !!

[MrOCAHM]

playboy is a funny bastard . he would make a great stand up comedian if he wasnt rotting in jail

[SMoKeScReeeeN]

'so did u kill ur best friend?', 'no man, someone set me up', bullshit, i would be really pissed if i was him and that happened.

[downjones72]

that guard is high on coke, lol

[franciscodudeful]

Im watchin this while eating.

[sumerates]

the very imported lesson we must learn from this video is " dont get caught"

[MrLegoMan88]

lol, "thank you very much, oh I can't shake your hand!" .. awesome

[Jonzer1983]

08:35 when louis is talking to the inmates, they say that they are the white gang bla bla, white hispanic or just white? because some of them do look hispanic to me. Didnt really understand what they ment by that. If anybody knows school me on this.

[ramtinking]

7:20... please tell me the name of the song someone... or any song with a similar beat... THANK U

[hevox]

@ramtinking Cypress Hill - Tequila Sunrise

[phoebea8]

I don't know whether to think it amusing or saddening, but these prisoners are generally more polite than the members of the Westboro Baptist Church that Louis interacted with.

[SlapShotBW23]

@phoebea8 I watched that one is school today and that church is sick!

[hyenapeptic]

@phoebea8 its called sociopathy

[matiaspaik]

the withe guys talk like a mexicans....funny

[Jonzer1983]

@MrMsgtime I was just about to comment on that, is it easy to score roids or is the food that good?

Man im struggling in the gym for peet sake damn these genetics. :/

[MrMsgtime]

@Jonzer1983 lol well no, the food is pretty horrible.. you get like a bolgna sandwhich and a fruit for snack .. then one tray of mush at their meal time . They way i look at it is that prison is so corrupt.. they have no problem getting drugs and any other form of contraband into the prison so why wouldnt they have a problem getting roids or supplements. so i would say that there a bunch of prisoners that get on roids when they get locked up. you need to be as big as you can in there haha

[Jonzer1983]

@MrMsgtime I was led to belive that training and right food gets you the result, and it does slow but it works. Even if your roided up dont you have to eat well? I feel bamboozled haha.

[MrMsgtime]

@Jonzer1983 ofc it does... the right foods and working out is how you get there. but steroids will give you the edge that other people dont have, more testosteron= more muscle, always. but like i said.. if they can smuggle in roids.. whos to say they arent also gettin supplements and even food.

[Jonzer1983]

@MrMsgtime I agree with what you are saying, anything goes and if they can smuggle in drugs sky is the limit.

[MrMsgtime]

@MrMsgtime ofc it does... training and the right foods is how you get there. but steroids will always give you that edge that others dont have... more testosterone= more muscle, always.

[emjaiz]

You could tell at 9:58 Louis was a bit emotional talking to that 19 year old kid.

[Nicodeme001]

LOL the black guy..." prison is cool, it's like a playground..." Yeah right being locked up for 20 hours a day in a little cell must be awesome haha

[robinho1979]

The black guy looks guilty as charged..he looks sneaky with his cool grin.

[spindle12]

@robinho1979

Ofcourse he's guilty: he said what his crimes were...

[blackbot4000]

The white guys look like Latinos

[MrKeSo33]

What ?! Penis on youtube?!

[mickman2113]

Louis goes where Chuck Norris won't...

[SHAREE209]

If I was in charge of prisons I wouldn't make it a playground.... No offense to anyone but can't we just Holocaust these s.o.b's drain em for labor and then end them they have nothing better to do. there not being punished hard enough :)

[tedwilli9]

Louis is one handsome man.

[kiwianaDJ]

-faeces ?

-poo-poo !

LOL

[perbrink3]

AWFUL

I am from Denmark and funnily enough we dont have half the rapes and murders per capita you do in the states. Treating people like animals in prison helps nobody. And shame on your country for giving people the death sentence....

[theposhnosh1]

@perbrink3 I agree about the death sentence. Regardless of what these men do, no one should have the right to take a person's life away.

[emjaiz]

@theposhnosh1 Skull fucking dead babies?

[theposhnosh1]

@emjaiz english please 

[drphil26]

Louis Theroux is the manliest and most integral journalist out there. What a boss.

[ftragedie]

intelligent answering: feces? poopoo, ah XD

[MrCrazyh81]

so if ur a crim feel free 2 come 2 our country Sydney fucken Australia as u will be treated like a king with our laws but its harder 2 get a gun unlike USA

[unfunable]

@MrCrazyh81 you'e a fucking dipshit. Why would they be 'free' to come to our country you idiot. I bet you're one of those 16 yo retards. go play in traffic.

[MrCrazyh81]

prisons are like paradise 4 these semi human parasites at least USA has death sentences Sydney fucken Australia has no death sentences we dont even have harsh jail sentences we have grate laws that are good 4 crims 2 get away with there crimes id rather live in USA 4 the fact that some places have death sentences and if u shot a crim in ur home its ok in Sydney Fucken Australia u go 2 jail

[malkooth]

@MrCrazyh81 But you do have Chopper.

[ftwuh]

haha i love the relationship between playboy and the gaurd

[everythiiiiing]

What's so confusing about being close to other races? What a bunch of fools.

[Fuursie]

Credz to the inmates to. They show their faces, and are happy to talk to Louis. Would we do the same? Dont think so.

[eddiegfan22]

Where's Big Al, Miklo, Bonafide and all the rest?

[TheOnlyone1147]

id be scared going here

[jonow995]

louis must me related to chuck norris

[juliemulie345]

The prison officers are actually nice. This is unusual in these prison documentaries.

[bjpaint1]

Unfortunate Losers :(

[charpel]

At 8-9 minutes, the leader of the white group seems to place a lot of significance In his paper bag. Anyone know why that is?

[HomieGeeSkittle]

@charpel its his lunch :\

[sunburningstare]

LOL THE LEADER OF THE SKINHEADS AINT WHITE

AHAHHAHA

[ploycarat]

[REALCITYbred]

[bay751]

finally..... a programme for the priviledged of society to watch the ones that were failed or exploited by society from the comfort of their own living room!

[kitgumtownrepublic]

Murder!! how did it come about LOL!!!!

[Bodybuildinq]

The whites look like Latins. Weird.

[wilfuck]

HAHA ! Most guys from the white "gang" look like latinos, what a fail !

[schwaulen]

playboy is a cool guy :D

[Radz117]

All those topless 'white' dudes have definitely got some Latino/Black in 'em.

[matteoprez]

8:24 "White Power"... Yeah sure, in a filthy shithole preaching some sort of idiotic supremacy... Jeeez, what a fucking loser. Well, he got what he wanted after all, get fucked iup his ass for the rest of his life.

p.s. I feel sorry for the guy at 9:19, can't help it.

[sh4p3shifter]

@matteoprez well, whites do have a lot of power you bitch ass nigga

[matteoprez]

@sh4p3shifter Hey white trash what's up? Thankfully, although white, I don't fuck my cousins like you do. Well I am pretty sure anyway.

[jeaniehopkirk2]

[01984lockyer]

[spida777]

Is that Gattuso at 7:20 ?

[Joelzepic]

10:59 = Skrillex.

[jackinla8]

more than half of the inmates are criminals from south of the border!

[jackinla8]

California's prison guards are the highest paid in the world, often making 6-figures!

[daneshjoo2011]

Love Lois therouxs prison docus

[TheCelticmaori]

fucking scum!!, they sound like a bunch of twats, execute them all!

[xMorgstaRx]

11.02 BLACK GEEZER IS HAPPPPS!

[Oronare]

You can see in that young guys eyes (Who got 50-life) that he is scared. The thing about watching these type of Documentaries, especially Louis, you can see in their eyes that they don't want to be there.....and not just so they can get back out and kill or thieve again, but you can see in their eyes that this isn't the life they want to live. You empathise and sympathise, but if you're the one they are attacking on the street.....you wonder where that seemingly normal person went. ;(

[Balian49]

Some of them look pretty stupid, but others seem to be pretty intelligent.

[Nightmonkey17]

Lol fucking cream of society, some real winners in that prison. Not.
