World's Worst Prisons

by Karen Farrington, Ian Fitzgerald

Overview

In some of the world’s harshest prisons, from Alcatraz to Pollsmoor, an unending battle rages between convicts and warders. Inside the prison walls, gangs rule, guards devise sadistic punishments, and newcomers suffer abuse at the hands of experienced tormentors. From overcrowding in Nairobi to drug smuggling in Sao Paolo to the harsh labor camps of North Korea, The World’s Worst Prisons reveals what life behind bars is really like.
