Racial segregation in San Quentin prison - Louis Theroux - Behind Bars - BBC

It's so segregated even the interviewer is only allowed to chill with his own race😂

The reporter understood the gravity of that 19 yr. olds situation more than that 19 yr. old.

Man that 19 year old kid absolutely chalked his life. You can feel the interview guy felt the gravity of the kids situation more than the kid did

Buddy in the back is 100% in charge

The most Mexican looking white dudes I've ever seen

"Are you the white gang?" "sí"

An inspiring group of ambitious young guys.

Freedom is the most precious thing in one's life.Don't throw it away,we are gifted just one life.

I love how louis can talk to anyone, seemingly without issue. It's a gift

The 19yr old has them "help me" eyes

The shot-caller is standing in the back towering over them not saying a word.

The reason why Theroux is so successful interviewing people who otherwise would never gave an interview to a reporter is because he approaches them in a respectful way and treats them equally, unlike other reporters, who are rather haughty and self-opinionated.

i wish my school was that friendly

"Is there somebody in charge?" Only two guys speaking and sitting in the center of the shot. Entire group looks at one guy. "No there's nobody in charge" lmao

I would like to see a follow up about some of the stories of some of the inmates!!

A lesson - if you are relaxed, treat people with dignity, and show a genuine interest in their lives, you can befriend anyone. It's a social skill few have. A very difficult thing to do - most people would go into the same conversation very anxious and displaying defensive body language, which would in turn make the prisoners anxious/defensive. My father was actually a bit like Louis. He could talk to anyone, and make anyone like him. Because he genuinely didn't think a lawyer or a doctor was any better than a prisoner or an ex con. He saw everyone the same. Some people have more luck than others. Some people make more mistakes than others. But we're all the same, and there are very few evil people in the world. And if you treat everyone equally, people respond to that. And it works both ways - high status, wealthy people don't want to be treated differently either. Bill Gates and Elon Musk would much prefer you talk to them like a normal person, than treat them with reverence

actually they did say who was in charge. didn't they say "no, juan is in charge"

“50% of us are here because of Meth, well at least the white guys” 😂 that was pretty funny.

This video was one of those random videos YouTube serves me; and I never heard of this interviewer. Excellent content; no agenda.

Imagine if they still made documentaries this good
