Guards offer preferential treatment to those with money and influence in La Sabaneta, which is dominated by corruption. All else must sleep in a hammock in the corridors, except for a few select individuals who are allowed to sleep in their cells on a bed.

+==== Mendoza Prison, Argentina ====
+Five prisoners can be crammed into a cell that is just four square meters. Prisoners are required to use plastic bags and bottles as washrooms because the facility lacks a proper sanitation system.

+==== Rikers Island Prison, USA ====
+Rikers Island Prison is known for its high levels of brutality, corruption, and mistreatment of prisoners, especially those who are mentally ill. Following the beating death of 18-year-old Christoper Robinson in 2008, it was revealed that the inmates responsible were members of "The Scheme," a secret organization run by the prison's guards to make those inmates commit acts of violence against other inmates in order to preserve order.

+==== United States Penitentiary, Administrative Maximum Facility (ADX), USA ====
+This maximum-security jail in the United States is also known as ADX Florence, Florence ADMAX, Supermax, or the Alcatraz of the Rockies. This prison, which opened in 1994, is home to some of the world's most dangerous criminals, including Ted Kaczynski (the Unabomber), Ramzi Yousef, and others (responsible for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing). Inmates at this prison spend 23 hours a day in their 7-by-12-foot concrete cells in solitary confinement.

+==== Camp 22, North Korea ====
+The Hoeryong Concentration Camp, also known as Camp 22, has been in operation since 1965, but its existence was kept hidden for decades before satellite imagery of the facility became public. Prisoners are malnourished, beaten, and forced to work 10-12 hours a day, seven days a week in fields and mines. [([[https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/33611477.pdf|Anti-Slavery]])]
+==== Gitarama Prison, Rwanda ====
+Gitarama, the world's most overcrowded jail, houses over 7,000 inmates in a building designed to accommodate just 500. Owing to the extreme overcrowding, these men and women are forced to stand barefoot on dirty ground for long periods of time, causing their feet to rot. Many require amputations, but most inmates are unable to obtain the care they require, resulting in half a dozen deaths each day.
