I was watching Midnight Express last night, and thought about the worst countries to be locked up in? Middle eastern countries? China or North Korea? El Salvador? On the other hand, I know the Scandinavian prisons are essentially resorts.

Any Central America country. Brazil wouldn’t be too fun, I bet. Russia would be less than ideal

Gonna skip the usual suspects and say something like Eritrea, Djibouti, or Papua New Guinea.

Thailand prisons are brutal according to a documentary I saw on it a while back.

Im not sure what would be worse. A place like N. Korea, or Russia's infamous Black Dolphin. Those places are sanctioned by the government to psychologically and/or physically break you.

However, places like Venezuela have zero state control and the prison is run by lawless gangs. You turn down the wrong hall and you are just dead or beaten within an inch of your life.

Tough call.

Look up some Brazilian and other South American prison videos. The inmates are essentially locked in and running shite while guarded from the outside. Some of the most brutal shite you'll see.

This has never been an issue in my life. I wonder what I'm missing out on.

Any country that has a less than favorable view of the United States.

Not sure what the jails are like but I believe Singapore has a very expansive view on which crimes warrant life in prison / death penalty.

North Korea is probably pretty bad.

Florida juvenile detention is supposedly an absolute gladiator training camp.

Just listened to a book called Cocaine Diaries about an Irish guy who was smuggling coke and got locked up in Venezuela for two years.

Very interesting book, that experience sounded like hell on earth.

Thailand was pretty bad. I recall seeing people buried shoulders deep into the ground, just their head sticking out. Was really hot, dogs pissing on them, chickens pecking them, was really something to see…
