Gonna rep SQ here. Tons of murderers and peados. Cream of the crop stuff. Bunch of animals. I’m sure there are some third world dumps that deserve consideration but they’re in the third world so nobody cares. Feel free to list them under “Other”.

Hull deserves a mention for the comedy value of Paul Sykes
Bangkok Hilton has to be in the mix.
Double nawty.
They travelled all the way from Wakefield. An entire 22 minute drive.
This is fucking incredible, Dave. The bit with his father around the 25 minute mark is hilarious.

I’m going with the only supermax facility left in the US - Florence, in Colorado, which houses all current foreign and domestic terrorists in custody. (Also has some other nasty pieces of work including El Chapo)
Can’t argue with ADX Florence. Home to some truly evil motherfucks, as well as Café Del Mar DJ legend, José Padilla, who sadly died in the prison in 2020.

You’ve also got Dwight York, who’s life has taken a turn for the worse since he left Utd and shacked up with Jordan.

Finally, you’ve got perhaps my favourite jail sentence - Terry Nichols, parter in crime to Timothy McVeigh in the Oklahoma bombings. He is serving, without the possibility of parole, 161 consecutive life sentences. Just in case he gets to the end of 161 consecutive life sentences, the judge tacked on an additional 9,300 years to his sentence, just to be on the safe side…
The people who’ve been locked in the ADX for awhile now must have had their brains turn into a mush. Imagine being locked up like that with nothing to do.
What’s that one on a ship with all the top super villains?

jonattonyeah mate, its at least an hour. makes me proud to be from Wakey though! One of our finest. I mean he looks like he has a psychopathic personality disorder like but people can make too much of that.
The Phantom Zone
Bass Rock Prison
going to prison there basically involved being starved to death in a dungeon on a rock in the sea. you don’t come back from that shit.
The prison in that documentary Face/Off was boss. Why nobody has thought to house degenerates in an old oil rig in real life is beyond me.
Angola
The big one in Caracas looked pretty grim on banged up abroad… as did the São Paulo one in the Brazilian film Carandiru.. think Latin American prisons got to be way nastier than elsewhere - you’re lucky to get out alive.. anyone ever visit San Pedro prison in Bolivia where inmates run the place? They have tours - bloody interesting place!
I have been to La Paz Jules but didn’t do San Pedro.
Cracking city La Paz!
They stopped the tours in San Pedro years ago when the chief was replaced, unless they started them up again?
