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”.

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)

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

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.

    BlainSA What’s that one on a ship with all the top super villains?

    Lol!

    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.

    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?

      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…

        bosstrabs I forgot how much I enjoyed this documentary.

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

        Millsy
        Its fucking immense, exudes POWER

        Also perfect for keeping warm cans of Stones Bitter it would seem.

        Love the way Dennis pulls a pint of bitter from under the counter, after saying:

        When you ant had a drink you’re an educated man, OK? When you’ve had a drink you’re a fucking maniac

        One of the best docs I’ve seen that.

        He’s absolutely crackers and would have definitely beaten me to a pulp.

        Millsy a desk like that would absolutely set the cat amongst the biz tranz pigeons

        Big time.

        Would guarantee at least £8m worth of revenue every year, that is some serious ROI.

        You’d look like a piece of brocolli

        That Paul Sykes documentary is fantastic - haven’t seen it for years but going to hit play on it again this evening.

        Has anyone on here ever been banged up?

          I did some bird when I was 16. Was arrested for taking a piss against a fence when I was pissed up one night.

          I took it like a man, didn’t rat on my friends and was released the following morning
