Worlds Toughest Prisons DVD

The World’s Toughest Prisons takes you inside some of the most lawless, chaotic and horrifying penal institutions ever seen…Prison is never going to be a nice place – that’s the whole idea. But although it’s a punishment, in most civilized nations prisoners’ safety is never in doubt. Yet in some parts of the world the health of prisoners is far from a guarantee – in some countries the prison system is a dehumanizing and corrupt hell-hole, only the most physically and mentally strong inmates have any hope of survival. The law of the jungle operates within the walls... of the prison – where those who carry most money or most physical threat dominate. Guns, drugs and knives are commonplace and even the guards are banned from entering certain areas. Some Venezuelan jails are run by gangs who control entire sections of the prison and go to war over common areas, whilst in Thailand inmates must sleep 60 to a room, side by side in rows on filthy mattresses on the floor of a hall where the lights are never turned off. The World’s Toughest Prisons goes inside these prisons to tell the horrific, and true, story of life inside. [show more]
