How’s it going all of you most amazing top 10ers?
I’m your host Landon Dowlatsingh and welcome back to another most amazing top 10 video.
You guys seem to really like the prison themed top 10 lists so let me know what top 10 video
you would like to see us do next.
Life in prison can be extremely boring and inmates have a lot of spare time on their
hands.
A lot of inmates like to create items that can get them in trouble so let’s take a
look at the top 10 weirdest items confiscated from prison inmates.
Starting us off in at number 10 with the Towel “blow up doll”.
Apparently, there were some frisky inmates in one prison who thought it would be a good
idea to create their very own blow up doll in prison.
Since blow up dolls are forbidden in jail, they had to get creative.
So, they collected a bunch of towels and they would soak them in water and twist them into
whatever shape they wanted.
They bound the towels together with ripped clothes and they gave it a human shape.
These prisoners shared their doll with everyone so when the prison guards found it, it was
brown, moldy and smelt like a rotting corpse.
Ew, that is so disgusting.
The grossest chess pieces slide into number 9.
It’s no secret that solitary confinement can cause inmates to go temporarily insane.
Well, for this inmate he took things to a whole other level.
While he was in solitary, he made chess pieces with his pooh and then he would play chess
with himself.
He would even eat the pieces as they were jumped.
Now in at number 8 we have a Mouse House.
A lonely inmate used a plastic storage container and decked it out to make it into a cage for
his “pet” mouse.
It had small windows, an exercise wheel and it even had an improvised water holder.
The cage had a sign that read “Mouse House.”
Well, once the guards found this, they released the mouse outside and confiscated the mouse
house.
I bet this poor inmate was very sad that he lost his friend.
Chewing gum gets stuck in at number 7.
You might be surprised but chewing gum gets confiscated a lot in prisons.
Gum is banned in prisons for several reasons but aside from having the potential to make
a mess on the floors, gum is banned because convicts use it to make impressions of the
officer’s keys if they are plan ing to escape.
Gum is also banned because inmates can use it to jam the locks on their cell doors.
Number 6 takes us over to Candy bars.
I know what you must be thinking, why would a delicious candy bar be confiscated from
prisons.
Well as it turns out, prisoners have turned chocolate candy bars into horrific and violent
weapons by melting them down using illegal hot plates.
They would then take the scolding hot chocolate and throw it in the face of a snitch or their
enemy.
A cardboard pistol fires into number 5.
Making fake guns in prison is actually much more common than you might think.
Obviously, they don’t have the potential to cause any real harm but some prisoners
in the past have used their fake guns to escape prison.
So a lot of cardboard and wooden pistols are confiscated every day from prison.
Next in at number 4 is A colouring book.
I know this seems pretty innocent and you’re probably wondering why a prison guard would
confiscate a little colouring book from an inmate but there is actually a very good reason
for this.
A mother of a prison inmate dissolved a drug into a paste and painting it onto a colouring
book and sent it off to her son.
She wanted to make it look like a child coloured it so she scribbled over the pages and put
“To Daddy” on the envelope.
The prison guards received a tip, confiscated the colouring book and tested the pages for
drugs.
The prisoner received additional time and the mother was charged as well.
Crossbow shoots into number 3.
A prison inmate made their very own crossbow with common things that you can find in a
prison.
He made this deadly weapon using toothbrushes, twine and straws.
Whoa, if he is easily able to make a crossbow with these simple things, I think he should
be transferred to a high security max prison.
That’s actually insane, who is this inmate, the real life MacGyver?
Number 2 takes us to a Toilet paper shiv.
I know it’s not uncommon for prison guards to confiscate shivs, but one prisoner got
super creative and created a deadly weapon with soft toilet paper.
I guess he was short on toothbrushes and razors because he spent the time making a papier-Mache
shank out of toilet paper.
Finally in at number 1 is A disgusting pillow case.
An inmate started his very own collection of severed pigeon heads.
He would use bread to lure them to his window and then he would rip their heads off and
stuff their heads into his pillow case.
I bet he was quickly transferred to a mental health facility to get analyzed.
Well there you guys have it…
