Title: Rikers Island


1
Wherever would be the almost all Chaotic Prisons
Worldwide?
  • Rikers is a huge elaborate of TEN optimum
    security jails and also an average of 15,000
    inmates. With a really huge population, it is not
    astonishing which one of the most chaotic prison
    acts happen there. Rikers guards happen to be
    arrested numerous times over the years of
    allowing the inmates operate the prison.
    Stabbings and shootings have taken place
    repeatedly from weapons that have been smuggled
    in from the outside. In 2008 an 18 year old
    inmate was shot with a smuggled gun. Two Rikers
    officers were charged with being the masterminds
    behind this crime. Mental heath care at Rikers is
    notoriously bad. Often mentally ill inmates will
    turn to suicide instead of treatment. And get
    more detail about Riker Island phone number and
    Rikers Island directions.
  • Located at the Chao Phraya River, 7 miles north
    of Bangkok in the Nonthaburi Province of
    Thailand, this prison is known as the "Bangkok
    Hilton", although not for its hotel-like quality.
    Overcrowding and understaffing is standard at
    this violent prison.

  • The population is made up of many foreigners who
    find themselves in trouble abroad and under harsh
    Thai law. This violent prison is known for its
    lack of medical care and use of metal shackles
    that are welded onto its inmate's legs all the
    way to the execution table where lethal injection
    is the method of choice. Opened in 1867, whose
    name literally (and ironically) translates to
    "health", this violent prison was noted for its
    poor conditions and public executions by
    guillotine until 1972.

  • Former head surgeon of the prison, Veronique
    Vasseur, published a book in 2000 that exposed
    all of the prison's horrendous conditions. La
    Sante reportedly operates by a "survival of the
    fittest" code, with stronger inmates abusing the
    weak by enslaving and raping them daily. Skin
    illness is one of the largest problems at La
    Santa due to the two shower a week policy.
    Inmates are only allowed out of their cells for a
    few hours a day, and then have to return to their
    cell that has only a peephole to look out of.
    Suicide happens on a large scale, with 122 people
    committing this act in 2002 alone.

  • This is truly one of the most violent prisons in
    the world due to extreme overcrowding, disease
    and rampant violence. Located in the impoverished
    country of Venezuela, this prison endured a gun
    battle in 1994 that resulted in 108 deaths, and
    led to La Sabaneta's comparison to the Wild West.
    With 1 guard per 150 inmates and no
    extra-curricular activities, it is no wonder the
    violence is out of control. The prisoners with
    more money and power rule the prison, with weaker
    prisoners sometimes being forced to sleep in
    hammocks due to a lack of space. Weapons and
    riots are not the only mass killers in this
    prison, disease outbreaks contribute to numerous
    deaths per year. Due to poor sanitation and
    insects, cholera outbreaks come in waves through
    La Sabaneta like the Plague, killing hundreds at
    a time.
