hey guys what's up it's Charlie here and today we're going to be looking at the
10 most dangerous prisons in the world prisons are not a fun place to be they
can be very dangerous and as an inmate there's no guarantees you'll make it out
unscathed well these prisons are the worst of the
worst and they're the most dangerous prisons in some of the most dangerous
countries - and the loss prison involves things you could never imagine in your
wildest dreams, or nightmares so stay tuned but first why not press the
subscribe button and bell button - coming in at number 10 we have bangkwang
this prison is located in Thailand but it's actually known as the prison with
the most foreign inmates inside this is because a lot of people who have
smuggled illegal goods into Thailand are sent here it's maximum security and only
holds the toughest of the tough so the prison is bad but if they have a
unique schedule for any new inmates that make their lives awful for the first 4
months of an inmate sentence they wear shackles around their ankles now of
course that is bad but it's even worse if you're on death row if you're waiting
to have your life taken by a prison guard then you have to wear iron shackle
to weld it to your legs as the prison is so bad this is the case for 10% of all
prisoners at bangkwang this is because the one requirement of bang clang is you
need to be in there for at least 25 years those who are in the prison are
given one bowl of rice and one bowl of vegetables a day a cafeteria also exists
in the prison forum it's to buy extra food but pretty much no one has any
money thanks to all the sealing and the food in the cafeteria would make your
school's cafeteria look like a five-star restaurant the prison is very
overcrowded and holds 35 times more people than it was built for many
prisoners have diseases thanks to the unclean and dangerous conditions and
worst of all there is no functioning sewer system next up is the tak island
one country with a reputation for danger in prisons is Russia in fact they have
some of the worst prisons in the world left over from the Soviet era the
interesting thing about this person is the mystery behind it not many people
who aren't prisoners have been there as it's totally isolated it's located on an
island in the middle of a lake named White Lake which is in a snowy
environment in the middle of nowhere making escape impossible it's maximum
security and is known as the very worst prison in all of Russia
so the inmates are totally isolated from the outside world but also from each
other while inside the jail they're kept for over 20 hours a day in solitary
confinement like the islands located on happens to
be one of the top 10 largest lakes in Europe but that's for another video
voice prisoners are not allowed any visitors but the best inmates are only
allow two visits a year there aren't many facilities including
basic such as running water and decent food and there's also no heating which
isn't usually in prisons but it's far worse here because the average
temperature is 10 degrees Fahrenheit but in the winter it can fall to as low as
minus 40 degrees which is well below freezing scientists say this could
reduce a person's lifespan dramatically antimony person is - in fact passed away
thanks to freezing inside this Russian prison if you already thought that
Russia was one tough country this prison surely proves it
next up is Rikers Island this prison is likely a little closer to home for most
of you guys watching this Prison Island is located in New York USA the reason I
call it to prison Island and not just a prison is because Rikers Island is
actually an island with ten prisons built onto it the prisons combined hold
over 12,000 inmates all on one very dangerous Island they say crime in New
York City has been cleaned up but it seems they just moved all the crime to
this one island there are many cases of assault and even people taking each
other's lives and this goes for the prison guards as well as the prison
inmates there's even fighting events that
sometimes take place that put prisoners head-to-head this was allowed by two
prison guards and when people found out the guards found themselves in prison
thanks to their crime the guards were often criticized for
using excessive force and there's been many cover-ups and complaints that were
destroyed but the guards are the only thing to fear on this island in the
prison's of many gangs and if you're not in the gang you're screwed so no one is
safe yet it's probably best to skip this place on your next trip to the Big Apple
next up is get Arama we all know Rwanda is a country with a bad history there
was a terrible war that took over the country torn apart and took millions of
lives the war has since ended but the violence
has kept alive and get Haram is Central Prison
it's a small prison built for a few with little funding or resources however it
holds thousands of inmates who equipped in the worst conditions imaginable most
prisons pass away the due to starvation or diseases which run through the entire
prison some inmates have been known to take the lives of other roommates and
then eat them to stay alive it sounds like something from a horror movie but
that unimaginable stuff comes to life at this prison
what's odd about the prison is there's no cells as the prisoners sleep under
beds on the floors or in the hallways it was originally built for 500 inmates but
now holds 4,000 making the prison insanely overcrowded that's five
times more than how many it should hold which shows why this person is so
brittle with problems some say this is the worst prison in Africa as it's got
such tough conditions I know the prisons we've looked at on this list have been
bad but at least people weren't eating each other inside them next up is La
Sante France is a country known for many things
amazing food great tourist destinations and the city of love well hidden inside
Paris the city of love is something not very lovely at all I'm ver noticed to
the tourists hidden in the heart of Paris is La Sante prison the prison
opened in 1867 and is known as one of Europe's worst prisons French prisons
have a reputation for being very excessive when it comes to force and
this person is no exception it's said to be the worst in France and has been for
a while during world war two had held war prisoners who were very badly
treated as well as regular prisoners not only as this prison nasty on the inside
it's nearly impossible to break out of it's nicknamed the impenetrable fortress
by service it's so hard to escape from after two gangsters named Jack Reese
misharin and Front's war Bessy escaped a while back the prison went into full
lockdown mode and built actuals and wiring everywhere the prison is a very
large complex but it's still very crowded and only has basic facilities in
recent years many protests have occurred outside the prison to shut it down
however the government are proposing increasing the prison's funding so it
doesn't look like that's happening anytime soon next up we have tad more
when it comes to dangerous countries Syria is definitely up there right now
it's being controlled by is a lot and is literally a battle zone however this
prison which is located in the harsh Syrian desert is not somewhere anyone
would want to go both political prisoners and regular prisoners descent
here for long periods of time they live in tort first conditions figuratively
and literally the place was so bad it closed down in 2001 however it had to be
reopened in 2011 as there were too many prisoners at other prisons inside the
guards can do whatever they want including severely mistreating the
inmates there's also a lot of maltreatment amongst inmates this is
because there's nothing for the inmates to do there as there are no books TV or
radio pois'd American prisons at least have a gym or recreational area but this
prison doesn't even have that Tadmor makes Alcatraz look like a five-star
resort due to how awful the conditions here are it's being called insane and
wild by people who have visited there and if those reviews are anything to go
by I suggest you avoid this prison at all
seeing as you can no longer fly into Syria that just got a little easier next
up is blue Danny this prison is located in Georgia which of course was the
Soviet state during the time of the USSR a few years back there was a massive
scandal of this person after security footage was leaked of inmates being
severely abused by guards in the worst ways imaginable the footage gained
worldwide exposure which led to guards being arrested and the prison being
given more resources however inmates today say the problems still occur in
this prison it's very cramped and holds far more prisoners than it was built for
the prison is also known as the most secure prison in the entire country of
Georgia it has four huge barbed-wire fences and watch posts everywhere which
are always manned by armed guards some inmates say that guards who use
excessive force still work in the prison even if it has got a little better it
seems no matter how much funding or resources this person gets it's always
going to be one of the most brutal like rush so George is also known as a tough
country and this is definitely reflected in their prisons next up we have Cotonou
Benin is a small country in West Africa and there's only a few prisons there
however this is the biggest and worst prison in the entire country it was
built for 400 people however it holds 2,400 men and women in the prison many
prisoners suffocate while sleeping thanks to there being so many people
because of this prison is usually sleep in shifts making living conditions
pretty darn bad over 90 percent of prisoners are just awaiting trial but it
takes years thanks to their old judicial system the conditions are terrible for
the inmates as the country has very little money as does the prison most
prisoners passed thanks to diseases which could be easily preventable with
medicine however as the country doesn't have enough money or resources this
means medicine is scarce and the fact that men and women go into the same
person here is not a good thing next up is la sabaneta Venezuela is often
thought of as the dangerous place the streets have really been cleaned up
recently however it's where the criminals are that's super dangerous the
most dangerous prison housing the most dangerous prison inmates in Venezuela is
the savanna to prison it was described by the former president of Venezuela as
a portal to Hell it's on the staffed and underfunded and is pretty much run by
gangs those who aren't in a gang are unprotected and no trouble is around
every corner it's also very overcrowded and unless you're a gang top dog you
likely won't get a Cell riots are very regular and during them many inmates and
guards lives are taken last year alone almost 600 lives were taken in the
prison and in 2013 some prisoners managed to seal a lot of God's rifles
and then turn on the guard after they took 16 lives in one week they stole 20
mm rounds of ammo rifles and built underground tunnels to escape from boys
to court and put back in prison but the tunnels still exist and they used to
sneak things into the prison one thing's for sure this person is very unsafe for
the cards just as much as for the prisoners next up is Diavik air this
place is one of the few maximum-security prisons in Turkey it opened in 1980 and
has been known ever since as the worst prison in the country
regular inmates are kept along with political prisoners it's very
overcrowded and there's so much brutality here blood is on the walls
the guards were often so brutal they'll end up causing inmates to pass away and
many inmates actually set themselves on fire to escape from the evil guards but
there's something that makes this prison unique which is not on any other prison
on this list that is that children are sent to this
prison over 400 boys and girls aged 13 to 17 are inside this terrible prison
along with the adults so if you're a teenage troublemaker it's probably best
to avoid Turkey they say all kids go through a phase of being bad but I hope
this is not the case in Turkey or the number of kids behind bars they might
increase from 400 but honestly this is really wrong and many petitions have
unsuccessfully tried to stop it the prison is still in operation today and
young kids are still locked up there check out the poll on the top right
