3.Maracaibo National Prison, Venezuela

This place is ran by gangs of different groups. In 2013, over 69 prisoners were killed alone. There is high rate of crime as guards have little or no control.

4.La Sante Prison , Paris

La Santé prison in Paris was built in 1867 and has housed some of the world’s most notorious inmates, Conditions were so bad that some inmates drank drain cleaner or rat poison to kill themselves so they no longer had to deal with the misery.
