Philippines Most Overcrowded Prison | Prison Documentary
Toughest Mexican Prison on US Border: youtu.be/lgfMJ4lqZRE
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
South Cotabato Jail. One of the most overcrowded prisons in the world. Murderers, rapists, and drug dealers. The guilty and the innocent. All are behind bars together.
In a jail designed for 600 prisoners, more than 2000 inmates are crammed into cells the size of shoe boxes. The prison is bursting at the seams, and there is no hope of improvement.
Most inmates have not even been convicted yet. Thanks to President Duterte’s war on drugs, the Filipino justice system became totally overwhelmed. Instead of only putting those convicted behind bars, thousands of accused individuals were forced to await a verdict together in inhuman conditions: cramped space, tropical heat, insufficient water, and, worst of all, a jail that is ruled by the inmates. The jail is dominated by hierarchies and power relations.
