The MS 13 are one of the most dangerous gangs In the world and they are obliterated right now thanks to the law force.

But innocent people who was returning home and they was gunned down in the front of his home. Business owners was blackmailed and suffered extortion. People was really scared and the MS 13 was the owners of the country. Now, beyond the % rates, you can see that a lot changed. The very same People who closed their businesses/stores before 5:00 pm (because they were afraid of the MS 13 members) now they can return safely to their homes. With a lot of cops patrolling the streets. To a citizen who lives in a 1st world country, this look like a crazy thing.

You are right about European prisons. I have a Asian family that are intermixed with other Asian nations. The difference with third world nations is they don’t stand for people who make bad choices. When I travel to Asian nations there is NO screwing around. If you go to a bar don’t ring the bell you then buy a round for all in the bar and in the end if you don’t pay the bill one goes there for theft. My wife grew up under the Marcos dictatorship it’s a mindset that the privileged of the world can not understand. With my Asian family and friends there they have no remorse for the people who are in the prisons there it was their choice. The biggest problem with drugs there is black tar heroin smuggled in by foreign tourists. It destroys their people that have hard lives as it is. This is the truth. I enjoy your show you point out many things please keep making good choices.

I am kinda saddened that you didn't bother to do any research here because you typically do. Those countries do not have lower recidivism they just count recidivism differently. According to the US DOJ, you are counted if you are even arrested, not charged or convicted, simply arrested 3 years after you leave prison. Other countries only track for 1-2 years and you generally have to be convicted of another crime. If you count US recidivism in the way those other countries do the rates are roughly equal. Also, those cushy prisons you see in most cases that's not where the worst offenders go. That's where you go if you commit check fraud, not if you commit more serious or violent crimes. For example Aachen prison in Germany, where you go for violet or sexual crimes, is not much different to a US maximum security prison. They have the razor wire, strict control of prisoners, fights in the showers or cells, the hole, etc. Oh, but it gets better, in Germany there's something called "preventative detention" which means you can actually still be kept in prison even after you've served your time (which I'd bet artificially lowers the recidivism, if you're kept in prison for 5-6 years after you've served your sentence then you're obviously going to not commit any further crimes after the 1-2 years that they track you after your sentence is complete).

Great list Larry, much respect from Australia, if you're interested in doing another one of these videos on the world's worst prisons, I would recommend adding Tadmur (which was blown up by ISIS in 2015 I think) where tortures and massacres by guards were routine or Sayndaya (also known as Syria's slaughter house and is still in operation today) where political prisoners are only allowed one square foot to live in, they are kept in complete darkness, tortures and killings by guards are a daily routine and it is strictly prohibited for inmates to speak to each other or to guards as well as many other horrible conditions. I think Saydnaya would have been a strong contender for number 1 on that list, or a very close second behind Camp 22. Peace

My heart broke hearing a family who was being extorted and even though the family was finally able to collect the money ~ the gang burned their 3 year old son in front of them. They got what they wanted but somehow got pleasure to having this family watch this torture on their son. And it’s gangs like this that ES president said enough and have taken drastic measures that can be seen as inhumane but very well deserved imo.
Love you Larry I love watching your videos at 4:30am
Hey Larry, what has life been like since getting out? Do you ever miss the adrenaline and excitement or do you feel happier living the straight and narrow? I've watched a lot of your vids but I don't recall you ever discussing life now compared to life then and whether you miss anything from your old life before prison?

In terms of the Thai prison. You don’t get put in prison for eating a sandwich. You don’t get put in prison for reading books. You don’t get put in prison for hanging out with 5 friends. Common sense.

Hey Larry, love the channel. The inmate at Fire island in Russia (#8) is not in his cell with a sound bar TV etc. That is the cell where profilers and psychologists meet with inmates. (I'm no expert, I just found the vid on YT) keep up the great vids!
Wow. You really opened my eyes about this. It’s absolutely appalling. Even though they are criminals they do not deserve to be treated like this. There needs to be prison reform on a global scale!

I'm about halfway through the list at the point of commenting (just before the 14 minute mark). 2 things I'll mention: don't eat dinner if you're listening to this (I am and... that's a mistake), and when I got to the Kenya prison that mentions "gallows" I'm reminded of the Iron Maiden song "Hallowed Be Thy Name" off of their '81 "Number of The Beast" album; that's how dark this shit gets. Seriously, half of these prisons I'm mentally visualizing "are these prisons out of a horror movie? Possibly a life imitating art take on some Iron Maiden albums?" It just seems so unbelievable you have to call bullshit! Not in this case!
Nice meeting you Larry!

Hi Larry, Thanks for the Video. There is a Video from Simple history called "15 Improvised Weapons Inmates Built in Prison", and i would love to hear your opinion about those weapons, have you seen some of those, and how dangerous they would be in prison.
Thank you posting this video. I wish it weren't so but people need to know the truth and do something about it.

Hey Larry thanks for your videos. I'm about to go to a State Prison here in Florida for 2.5 years for DUI's. Not sure what to expect. Never had a felony before or anything. I'm an engineer with a very bad drinking problem. Was wondering if you know how serious they view DUI (non-manslaughter or major bodily injury) inside prison. Thanks keep the videos coming.

You'll be all right as long as you didn't touch kids. And since you're obviously not a snitch, you'll be OK. Hopefully you have people to put money on your books for extras in the prison store. Keep your head down but chin up. 2.5 is quick work. Just don't do anything stupid and don't join a gang.

I head a few interviews from Yeonmi Park where she describes North Korea. It's a prison, and the camps inside the country are basically just the torture ward inside the prison, which is basically a torture center itself.
Great video. I believe in law & order and incarceration for those sentenced. That being said I also believe those incarcerated should be safe, clean & have access to good nutritional food and medical care. If you have a life sentence without parole? A death sentence is essential.

Just exactly how much safety, cleanliness, good food and medical care? Prison should be hell to a certain degree. Not to say I agree with the extremely harsh treatment we saw in the video, but if you're going to promise criminals, rapists, and murderers that they're pretty much going to have a safe, comfortable life where they get good food and medical care all on tax payer dime, where is the disincentive to commit crimes? What would be so bad about going to prison then? Imagine you finally get justice for the death of a relative committed by a murderer, only to be told that your tax dollars are going to give the killer a good, safe, clean life as a reward for killing your family.
