- insanekoz, on 11/05/2009, -5/+737Finally a story that gives me hope.
- cride11, on 11/06/2009, -18/+623What? Not every person that is in jail is a degenerate ***** who deserves no second chance and no hope for a "normal" life once their sentence is served? Wow what a concept.
-Oh and yes that was sarcasm on my part. - enantiodromia, on 11/06/2009, -17/+599So you're telling me, that if you treat people with kindness and respect, they just might do the right thing later on, when you need them the most? And we don't have to beat compliance into their brains?
NICE TRY LIBERAL MEDIA, I AIN'T FALLING FOR IT! - Nesh, on 11/06/2009, -0/+548My dad has been a prison guard for 25 years now. A few months back, he was working in one of the non-air conditioned dorms, and he passed out from heat exhaustion. It was the inmates that called in the medical emergency. When backup and the med staff got there, the inmates had my dad's head propped up and were putting cool towels on his head and neck. When he came back to work a couple weeks later, more inmates asked him how he was doing than his fellow guards.
- burrdugg, on 11/06/2009, -2/+538Being a good guy pays off.
- monkzero, on 11/06/2009, -2/+428Dang that first hit to help the guard was a good shot. Great story.
- JackGrinnan, on 11/06/2009, -1/+271That's awesome.
- sabach, on 11/06/2009, -2/+249It was not terribly unusual for an inmate to help with breaking up a fight on the pod floor, the respectful ones do it out of respect for a CO who treats them fairly and consistently. And they like peace and quiet in their home as much as anyone else. But my experience was in a prison, I can't speak to what might happen in the County lockup.
- basickly, on 11/06/2009, -5/+187They touched my heart. :'(
- whytey, on 11/06/2009, -7/+187That's a good way to get an early release for sure!
- scottpigeon, on 11/06/2009, -0/+139So inmates will help, but dozens of free men at a school homecoming dance won't.
- askantik, on 11/06/2009, -4/+143Now imagine how it could be if we actually tried to rehabilitate prisoners... Notice how they aren't all monsters like some people believe, and with a little work we could significantly lower our re-offender rate.
Wait, I mean, goddamnit, PUT EM IN THE CELL!! LET EM ROT!!! - Navicerts, on 11/06/2009, -12/+136That was sarcasm? So every person really is a degenerate *****?
- TabControl, on 11/06/2009, -0/+100I'm sure they had respect for the CO, otherwise they would have never interfered.
Think about it, if the guy was doing a gang hit on the CO, do you think the other inmates would risk getting killed over this? - Navicerts, on 11/06/2009, -1/+97"not terribly unusual for an inmate"
Hell, I would just call it human behavior. - mysticalone, on 11/06/2009, -2/+86There is honor amongst most thieves, metaphorically speaking. Kids on the other hand will sell you out soon as you tell them "Don't tell anyone!"
- nj10ii, on 11/06/2009, -3/+86On OZ they would simply have surrounded him and cheered and encourage more brutality. Then they would have retired to their cells for an afternoon of butt secks.
- BigLou, on 11/06/2009, -4/+78That's not the only thing they'll touch. My advice, don't drop the soap.
- Paranor01, on 11/06/2009, -6/+78/s for those who need to see it
- commenter01, on 11/06/2009, -6/+78stop projecting
- zoomaKabu, on 11/06/2009, -0/+69This was not in a prison. It was in a detention center where people are held awaiting trial.

Chicken ***** losers = No balls - ShutItDown, on 11/06/2009, -0/+63That guy is huge too. Did you see his neck?? Good thing more came to help.
- maurovz, on 11/06/2009, -0/+62Seriously doubt anyone will mess with them
- pjmc377, on 11/06/2009, -16/+77In the fracas, did I see one of them press Deputy Moon's key into a bar of soap ?
- txballer, on 11/06/2009, -0/+60In all fairness this was a jail not a prison.
- DulcetTone, on 11/06/2009, -1/+60BOOM! HEAD SHOT!
- cride11, on 11/06/2009, -1/+52It is a jail not a prison. They, most likely, spend a good portion of their day outside of their cells in a general area.
- rypic7, on 11/06/2009, -0/+50i believe it was sarcasm in the sense that he was feigning disbelief. i got it. even though i believe "/s" is the term.
- thejenigma, on 11/06/2009, -3/+50They're all innocent. Just like Andy Dufresne.
- farles, on 11/06/2009, -12/+57Anybody else wondering why none of these inmates were in their cells? I'm just saying, if this wasn't minimum security then maybe you should lock the doors.
- concactus, on 11/06/2009, -0/+44show us on the doll
- sideshowoddity, on 11/06/2009, -1/+45Why is it so hard to believe that people in a county jail would be "human" enough to not want to stand by and watch a murder take place? The "knee-jerk" reaction of these men was to defend another human being. That would seem pretty normal under any other circumstance, but for some reason people seem to assume that anyone in jail is a sociopath.
- frequentFlyer, on 11/06/2009, -0/+42I have the feeling he's done that before.
- batkins, on 11/06/2009, -0/+42He must be a nice guy for those guys to vouch for him and come to his rescue like that.
- enantiodromia, on 11/06/2009, -0/+41i wasn't wondering that. you think people are in their cells 23 hours a day?
- publiclurker, on 11/06/2009, -11/+51I'd say there is something wrong with a self important idiot who thinks he's entitled to drive drunk. The rest of us have families out there and don't really like the idea of people like you putting their lives in risk for your own personal satisfaction. It's only dumb luck that you are not in there for murder.
- inactive, on 11/06/2009, -0/+40This is an unusually heart-warming clip.
- TheFuzzyOne, on 11/06/2009, -0/+36Seriously, a 30 second ad for 90 seconds of video?
- fantasticjon, on 11/06/2009, -0/+33Ironically, in many situations "normal" people on the outside stand by and do nothing when people are being attacked. Kudos prisoners.
- geodebug, on 11/06/2009, -6/+39Way to ***** all over @insanekoz happy moment @shaelen. I bet your a hit at children's birthday parties.
- Tollboi, on 11/06/2009, -2/+34FALCON PUNCH!!!
- lobrien006, on 11/06/2009, -5/+36Boss...... I'm dog tired!
- Jeepinator, on 11/06/2009, -1/+32No. Digg generally has no sympathy for people in jail for real charges, or those who violate other people's rights.
- robertisaar, on 11/06/2009, -5/+35inmates are human? WTF?
- holygram, on 11/06/2009, -6/+36You degenerate *****.
- shaelen, on 11/06/2009, -39/+67It *gives* you hope? Are you saying that you find it hard to believe that people in prisons or jails or detention centers are actual people like you and me? That they might have possibly been put there under circumstances that would have put you there as well, had you been in the wrong place at the right time? Vice versa.. etc?
Everyone is so ready to hate convicts because it is so much easier than hating themselves, you see.
Projection is the key. - iDiggYa, on 11/06/2009, -2/+29YOU LIE!
- tradeplumbing, on 11/06/2009, -1/+27Fantastic hook from the first guy! Junkie had no chance :P
