If you ever land in a South American jail, get ready for your new avatar as a drug dealer. Yes, that’s what will happen. You have to be ready to sell drugs inside the jail as nothing comes for free. You even have to pay for your cell and bed. Moreover, jail riots are common so prisoners are typically left to resolve issues among themselves using knives and clubs.

Syria

The infamous Tadmor Prison can make you wish for accommodation in hell than spend a day there. Inmates are butchered by guards, starved by prison administrators and their bodies are chopped to death and thrown across the court yards. You can’t imagine how mass killings are conducted so mercilessly in a jail but at Tadmore Prison, its been done many times over.

Thailand

An otherwise warm and welcoming nation for travelers, Thailand’s jails are not so friendly. For instance, the Bangkwang prison can be a frightening experience. During the first few months, inmates are chained in leg irons. Those who are sick are shackled to the beds and never get access to any medicines or treatment. You may find yourself hobnobbing with hordes of drug addicts and murderers sharing the same cell. Don’t even begin to imagine what the conditions are like in Thai jails.

The US

America has a law for almost anything and everything you can think of, so don’t even think about getting into any trouble over there. Known for holding the largest number of prisoners, American jails treat them with regular beating up sessions. The use of stun gun for electrocution around the genitals is quite common in American jails. Prisoners are tightly strapped into chairs leading to suffocation and blocking supply of blood to the brain. Also, you may find jail inmates worse than the police there.
