  • “Pepper ball delivery system” is what I’m going to name my paintball gun from now on. - On a serious note, this was cool to watch.
  • Nice gear. Hi from an Aussie CERT operator. In my jurisdiction we don't use chemical agents nearly as much but that is changing as prisoners become steadily more violent.

    I know why they keep going in his cell: he refuses to flush his toliet.

    Great piece. I understand they were simulations for training but it all felt very real. My company makes and sells the Wolfhound-PRO cell phone detector (around 2:30) shown and I can attest to the fact that cell phones have become one of the most dangerous contraband items for the safety of everyone inside and even outside of the prison walls.

    UK prisons need to update their stuff America is so prepared with pepper balls, tasers and stun shields and restraints in the UK our staff only have batons and handcuffs
  • This is a video that I made with Ryan Felton. We went to the jail and had an interesting day following around CERT. Special thanks to Captain Henkel, CERT, and Sheriff Babb.

    3:58 That restraint system is known as the W.R.A.P. Pretty badass restraint system that takes less than 4 minutes to deploy. Usually a jail/prison will have a restraint chair of some sort, but every state has laws regarding how frequently you have to offer the inmate care and ROM (range of motion). In Texas it is every 2 hours. This means that every 2 hours you must take that inmate out of the chair and let them move around a bit. This can be dangerous to staff as well as the inmate. The W.R.A.P. allows the inmate to be placed in a 2-piece harness that does not have to be removed to allow the inmate to move, walk and use the restroom. All of this can be done without letting the inmate out of the restraints. Its actually pretty fucking comfortable and that strap you see in the video connecting the feet to the chest holds your upper body up, so you are sitting on the floor without even trying. To make it even more comfy, the restraint has a flaw. If you roll over on your side, some inmates are small enough that they can bang their head against the floor. To solve this problem, the W.R.A.P. comes with a large black mesh rolling bed that sort of looks like a rolling hammock. You set the inmate inside, secure the handcuffs to the slot near the butt and presto! One comfy and slightly pissed off inmate. Love deploying that thing every once in a while!

    We do not do this all the time. The public gets the wrong idea with these videos. I don't want to take away from this video. After 15 years in corrections I would like to see a video that connects us brothers and sisters in our day to day and how it effects our family. The mind of a CO is always in need of healing.
  • @peterbird3932
    The first rule of a cell extraction is to take out the cameraman. Ten COs respond to a code and 15 go off on Comp afterwards.
  • Very good video Brandon! Tell those officers they're doing a great job! Cheers
  • Remember a while back where an inmate was on some kind of drug and they called the cert team. Nothing they tried worked and they realized it was too dangerous as he threw them like sacks of potatoes. 😮 The inmate broke the food trap right off the door and ended up shattering his ankle in the process. He didn't even notice. Was extremely scary.😮😮😮
  • At 1:40 when you are shooting from inside the cell, how did you accomplish this? I mean it didnt look staged so Im curious.
  • @wayedicand
    Why is the absolute beast of a unit who has to duck going through doorways going in last?
  • @estengel67121
    Hats off the "inmate" for enduring all that for this video.
