World's Best Prison

jonattonyeah

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

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.

Hursty

bosstrabs Fascinating! Both his kids are doing life for murder as well

mono-stereo

bosstrabs I forgot how much I enjoyed this documentary.

Sykes is absolutely fucking mental. No wonder both his kids went down for murder.

Bangkok Hilton has to be in the mix.

Double nawty.

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.

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…

Homegrove

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?

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.

jonattonyeah

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!

vinnyt77

Jules72 There’s a decent book about San Pedro - think it’s called Marching Powder from memory - about an English inmate’s experience of living there…

Smallman1

I have been to La Paz Jules but didn’t do San Pedro.

Cracking city La Paz!

LT42

They stopped the tours in San Pedro years ago when the chief was replaced, unless they started them up again?

Jules72

vinnyt77 yeah read it… not high brow reading but entertaining
