I’ve seen a quantity of crazy prison videos on the internet and I just read a comment under one of them saying « you never see those things inside women’s cells » and it clicked to me that I don’t remember seeing a single video from inside a female prison.
Why is that? Is it because they are « cleaner »? Are they completely different?
I specify that I ask if it’s because they’re cleaner because the video I usually see are not the educational kind, just shit human behavior / beings
Edit: I’m talking about videos filmed and posted by the prisoners on social medias

There are many videos from women’s prisons and even shows on A&E etc.
Use Google
Cleaner, no. There is far less testosterone going around though. Women’s prisons tend to have less violent criminals and less lifers, which leads to a more forgiving environment.
then it would expose the guards
There are significantly fewer female prisons, and of the female prisons there are many are much lower security level because women are significantly less likely to commit violent offences. and in my country, children also live there until they start school so its a question of ethics

They’re available, they’re just not as “exciting”. The conditions are usually better and there’s much less inmate to inmate violence
I’ve definitely seen prison documentaries about women prisons back in like 2010-2014 on TV
There are no tattoos or gang affiliation to lean on for justification of their detention. The public seeing the conditions of women’s facilities would further expose the inhumanity of this agenda.
My observation of how men treat antisocial behavior vs women*
Men tend to ignore undesirable behavior for a long time then lash out with extreme reactions, often hurting someone who barely had any warning that a reaction was coming.
Women tend to respond with the same shaming and bullying tactics regardless of frequency or severity of their target’s behavior.
As a result: I hypothesize videos of women dealing with their enemies doesn’t make as good of a viral sensation.
*(disclaimer this is my experience, if you want to throw a fit and say it isn’t true you’re just pissing in the wind because I’m not saying this is objective truth, just my 57 years of experience + my wife’s 53 years of observations as an atypical)
Really? I feel like I’ve seen women’s prison stuff. But I never really thought about it.
This is obviously not r/nostupidanswers. Why do people sexualize women at every opportunity?

Watching a woman get shanked illicit sympathy in the viewer, while watching a man get shanked is entertainment. Like it or not, people are sexist.
The ultimate goal of the prison propaganda system is to dehumanize prisoners and maintain the prison system.
Women aren’t as insane as men try to make them to be. Men are way more mentally fragile than women.
I’m not sure about the US, but in the UK, there are far fewer women in prison than men, so percentages help. Saying that, though, the women can be FAR more violent than the men. Things like sugar water in a boiling kettle thrown over each other and things, so if it’s out there, it’s taken down a lot faster than a punch up or even a riot.
Because they use all the videos from women’s prisons to make Orange Is The New Black.
Why are there like 20 times more male prisoners than female prisoners?
I’m going to play devils advocate here and say the reason we don’t is because it would be harder to hide any sexual abuse of prisoners than it would from a male population.
Some of these comments are fucking vile. And if you’re interested in these videos for entertainment, fuck off and go actually learn about the criminal justice system and prison industrial complex
They don’t want people to see that amount of prisoners that got pregnant due to rape by COs. Or for people to see how lady prisoners deal with their periods in such a place.
I’m going to have to guess that it has something to do with the all male staff…
Central Utah near Manti-Lasal national Forest. Near a little college town. Whatever fuck it I’ll be more specific here. Ephraim Utah. Place is booming thanks to the local community college having a long standing good reputation. Prices in the valley are out of control but up the canyon from Ephraim you can find lots that are considered recreational but the city will let you build a permanent residence and they have recently ran power all the way up to the national Forest land
Women’s prisons have a different culture due to a number of reasons (e.g. women are less likely to commit violent crimes), so they are less likely to get featured in media that wants the shocking “crazy” conditions.
If you are genuinely interested, the podcast “Ear Hustle” often goes into the California Institute for Women and explores life in there. There was a recent episode on the 25 women who were relocated from death row into gen pop due to a change in policy.
I have seen a few women in prison movies
IDK, back in the 90s the video rental store had plenty of movies from the perspective of inside of a woman’s prison.
Here you go! Inside Kingston’s P4W: https://www.talkingwallsphoto.com/correctional/abandoned-kingston-ontario-prison-for-women-p4w/
i remember in middle school we went to a penitentiary I believe it was to talk to two inmates about the dangers of drunk driving. after everything was said and done, one of my classmates asked if we could go to a womens prison. the teacher said something along the lines of ‘women don’t get along well, and due to state funding essentials for menstration are not there, and is generally less sanitary and unsafe for children’. i also specifically remember that the teacher mentioned the rate of women there due to violent psychotic episodes/offenses compared to the rest of the state and country.
its a vast contrast to the rest of the comments, and I really don’t go looking into things like this so I don’t know if any improvements have been made for the prisons there. could be that the teacher was misinformed or already had a preconcieved idea of it all, but she was a woman saying that shit so idk really.
I literally just saw a women’s prison video on r/tooktoomuch
There are more men’s prisons, so you are far more likely to see media about men’s prisons in general.
There used to be a couple of tv shows ( I think one was called locked up) on one of the cable news channels. They were basically documentaries about life in various us prisons. They did feature at least one woman’s prison
Theres videos of women in female prisons, ivr even seen them promoting their only fans from prisons. You just gotta pay more attention, that or mt algorithm is all fucked up. But yes there are far less videos of women
Cleaner, nope, much worse. the smell is another level.
> I don’t remember seeing a single video from inside a female prison
A show called “60 Days In” frequently shows the womens pods in county jails.
Theres less testosterone but they still have their drama and crazy.
I definitely saw them on Lockup on MSNBC.
I happened to watch a documentary from Trevor McDonald just the other day on this exact topic, it’s a really fascinating watch from a very genuine and graceful interviewer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbUTHDxhmME
I was in prison and there was a women’s prison next door. Guess who did all the washing for the male AND female prisoners? That’s right, the women did.
This was in the 90’s too…I felt like there was something wrong about it.

This is literally at the top of /r/tooktoomuch today.
from what my shawties told me they be some hating ass snitches if they see some you got that they want lol
From what I heard, it’s not cleaner but they may have more to hide as someone said in terms of pregnacy or the treatment of female inmates
Because they’re boring. It’s a lot of internal politics. Women don’t fight like men do or create violent conflicts. They don’t use the gang system. They are more likely to form small bands of familiar units that are peaceful with individual fighting happening on a case by case basis- not becoming collective. Most of the struggle in women’s prison is manipulation
Women are more risk averse than men, so posting themselves online is not worth getting in trouble with a phone
Antisocial men are generally considered more attractive than Prosocial men, so there’s not-insignificant odds of receiving praise and material gain from fangirls
Many womm find prison better than being free. They have friends. They don’t have clean up after, or feed people. If they work, it’s not from sun up, to sun down. Seriously, it’s true. This isn’t about horrible prison life. It’s about horrible domestic life.
I assume you mean in the US. Anyone more familiar than me want to comment on availability of phones or the ability to make outgoing calls in men’s vs women’s prisons? I haven’t seen many comments about that
Have you seen a women’s bathroom compared to a men’s?
The government doesn’t want it getting out that there are couches, TV’s, swimming pools …
I lived by a lady prison. The road I would take to Target and Costco drove right by. They would probably be very boring videos cause to me it just looks like they’re always gardening.
I used to work for a vendor who serviced equipment at prisons (among many other types of business locations). Occasionally I visited both men’s and women’s prisons in our area.
Those women will make you blush. They will straight out yell “stick it through the fence and I’ll suck it”.
