Lockup Raw: The Castle Where Killers, Monsters & the “No-Hope” Inmates Are Locked Away Forever

Welcome to Kentucky State Penitentiary, the infamous “Castle on the Cumberland”, a maximum-security fortress built like a medieval torture chamber — because for many inmates, it is one.
Behind its granite walls live murderers, kidnappers, dismemberers, prison predators, death-row killers, and the men the system calls “too dangerous for anywhere else.”

This episode reveals the darkest, most brutal secrets KSP tries to keep buried:

⚠️ Inmates who st*b, sl*sh, m*tilate and even dismember their victims
⚠️ Alex Bennett, who murdered his cellmate, then cut him into pieces to “make a point”
⚠️ Victor Hyatt, the most violent man in Kentucky, who openly says he’ll kill a staff member
⚠️ Fleece Johnson, legendary for ripping sinks off walls and almost killing an officer
⚠️ Segregation units where 200 men live 23 hours a day in isolation, many losing their minds
⚠️ Inmates throwing f*ces, ur*ne, and homemade darts dipped in excrement
⚠️ The electric chair, where 163 men were executed — including 7 in a single night
⚠️ A death-row prisoner who says “If you want to kill me, do it. I’m ready.”
⚠️ Escape attempts, hidden weapons, sawed bars, booby-trapped cells
⚠️ “Dungeon cells” where the sun hasn’t touched the walls in decades
⚠️ New arrivals shaved bald to break their identity
⚠️ Convicts vs. Inmates — a violent culture war inside the prison walls
⚠️ A man who butchered someone at 27, and another who says he’s become “100% prison”

Inside KSP, respect is everything. Weakness is fatal.
Fear is a constant soundtrack — keys rattling, screams echoing, men plotting through vents.

This isn’t just a prison.
It’s a place where hope dies, violence rules, and the Castle decides who survives.
