Exploring the "Area 51" of Supermax Prisons — Police Left Everyone to Die (Abandoned With Power)
Video Overview & Insights
in southern Illinois sits the former Tamms Correctional Center, one of the most controversial prisons in American history. Opened in 1998 as a supermax facility, Tamms was designed to hold some of the state's most dangerous inmates under extreme security and isolation.

In this video, we explore the history of Tamms, how it operated, the conditions inside the prison, and the controversy surrounding its use of long-term solitary confinement. We'll also look at why the facility was ultimately closed in 2013 and what remains of this once-feared institution today.
From its remote location to its reputation as one of Illinois' most secure prisons, Tamms earned a place in correctional history that continues to spark debate.

You didn't want to show us the carpeted and padded rooms? Clearly I can't speak for all, but I think that people might be interested in seeing what those rooms look like.

So jails cost the state you know $50-$60,000 a year per inmate maybe 75 now with inflation and then when you go to prison a lot of them that are privately ran they get 50 to 70 grand from the federal government per inmate to house them there that’s why there’s no rehabilitation. It’s a business like anything else so they want to keep the beds full in Arizona. There was a law called prop 200 so people that were habitual you know criminals or you know they were just escalating and crime. They would actually get released and not charge or convicted on a lot of crimes because the state honestly knew that they would be back in the next time they’re gonna commit a crime that’s gonna put them in prison because like I mentioned earlier when you’re in jail, the state has to flip the bill per inmate, but when you go to prison, they get the money from the government so I had friends on my how the fuck are you out of jail bro like what the fuck and prop 200 bro and then they obviously were given enough rope to hang themselves and eventually they were handed in prison lol

Sitting since 2014 with the electric still on full blast and they have the audacity to increase my electric bill are we fr 😭
@leahhhxoxoThe room with the theater type of stairs with the big glass window was likely for viewing the executions
@TriplEightMainfestoStraight up feels like Blackgate Supermax prison
@DUNZODaDONThe abductor of my two children deserves to be here for eternity
@Christian-d4g1qIt looks cool but scary. They should honestly open it up again though because a lot of DANGEROUS people are out here.
@JJ_obsessed_w_XavierIf people thought this place was inhumane, then build prisons underground or better yet build them on other planets.
@kathydoebling2271Dude, love your content but you really need to figure something out about your high-pitch feedback sound that keeps happening in your videos and example happens where its real bad is at this time (10:23) my eeeeears!
@MultiNightwatchWho's paying for the electricity used in there? Wasting energy!
@m15hill100Sounds like to save cost puplicl hanging is cheaper than me paying taxes to allow there unending exspeasrs.
@DavidSchwab-f1qAt 17:30 that is indeed a janitor closest
@kellyfoster8903I'm worried about that X-ray machine has it still got nuclear in it? Iridium-192 or Cobalt-60?
@diggit67Crazy how many abandoned places still have electricity
@AZInc_MarkMarleynice :] well... not nice but, nice video :]
@OlectralabHey Josh, found you again! So glad. This is a great video. I am not so sure scrappers did that work in there. I think the state disabled anything that could potentially lock you into an area. As well, those mag locks are expensive.
@ansidropU had no signal because the jammers are still running of the electric. So they block your signal.
u only explore the best bro, love the content,
I do explores in the uk
The multiple set of stairs you are looking at a via window might be killing cell.
@jasonbrace3229@ExploringWithJosh when you go into abandoned buildings what safety measures do you use to make sure you don't get stuck inside a building like a door does not get shut behind you by accident and you get locked inside. Assuming you do have safety measures that you don't get stuck inside anywhere with no way to get out.
@asmrfootballer8113United States spends more money on prisoners in prison than they do an education for children or medical for veterans and senior citizens that have worked all their lives and paid taxes.
@JB-63CADDYIt would be cool to get a blueprint of the place.
@SmartyPants-fd7juSo apparently this video has a high pitched sound my teen could hear. I hear nothing 😂🤷🏻♀️. Cool find
@KimberlyMayo-u8hSo cool 😎
@AlexLunammoYes they are given a mattress if you can call it that. They are 4” thick maybe 5” on a good day. 2 sheets and a blanket that does nothing really and was very itchy against the skin.
People need to think about coming crimes before ending up in a place like this, because if you’re so dangerous you should just be executed.
The little auditorium with the raised flooring and glass window was the viewing area for executions mostly lethal injection during that time as electric chairs was banned in most places
@Corrivalmedal11This looks like some Universal Studios type shit! So cool, but also soooo creeepy!
@BearBear0888Yea that is a janitors closet that is called a mop sink.
@just_dongAmen ❤
@juslove313Very thin mattress
@timothysilvernail5549Go to one in real life you wont think its cool 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@timothysilvernail5549You go in there and be locked up 23 hours a day see how you like it on top of that have guards beat you're ass for no reason at all the
Guards most of them not all are scumbags
Power running but towns that are lived in with data centers sucking all the water and electric are pretty soon going to have blackouts but not data centers and most likely places like this and they said its because of El nino. All BullSnot to me.😢
@SmartyPants-fd7juThe, "mats", as they are called are what you sleep on. Green, thin, plastic like, not comfortable. No pillow. No comfort. It's crazy they let this just waste away.
@zenabuchanan9338i bet they didnt take the beryllium out of that old xray machine.
@coedshowersJanitor room for the porters 17:31 . Inmates cleaned the pods and miscellaneous chores. It was a sought out "job" given the fact your out the cell most of the day.
@ChicagolyfeI was in B pod.
@ChicagolyfeThey decommissioned all locks so no one can lock themselves in
@ronniejames-d1tIf the government stopped funding the place why is the power.on?
@godson_saThere were no one left to die in there though 😐 but it creeps me out lol
@MissFaLLenW0lfIllinois? Super max? MICHAEL MEYERS!!!!😂😅
@paulking6572So all those money from tax payer are wasted in here
