The only place more dangerous to live than prison is the world
outside of it. A quick look at the evening news will convince
any viewer that the world is a dangerous place to live. One
violent crime is followed by another, and it becomes apparent
that human nature has some serious flaws in it. Of course, not
everybody feels the need to physically harm another person, but
there are too many people who not only feel the compulsion,
but embrace it willingly. Because the outside world is
dangerous, criminal justice becomes vitally important to a
healthy society. Prisons are designed to house criminals, and
some prisons are designed specifically for the world’s most
dangerous criminals. These are the criminals who pose the
greatest threat to society.
While the hope of any criminal justice system is the
reformation of a criminal’s character, housing the world’s most
dangerous criminals together in a prison seems to make a
prison’s violent atmosphere an inevitability. Added to that are
the cruel conditions often created by some of the prisons’ staffs.
The world’s most violent prisons are places where criminals
fight daily either for their sanity or for their very survival.
Following is a list of the top 10 most violent prisons in the
world.

10. San Quentin Prison
San Quentin Prison
was established in
1852 and is the
oldest prison in the
state of California.
Although the prison
has a gas chamber,
the only executions
performed there are
by lethal injection.
Violence is a continual issue at San Quentin even with a large
staff of guards. A particular incident occurred in February 2006
when some racially motivated attacks resulted in the injuries of
100 inmates. Additionally, two inmates were killed. The prison
is known for its poor conditions, and a 2005 report stated that
“it is our opinion that it is dangerous to house people there.”

9. Bang Kwang Prison
Bang Kwang Prison
is located in
Bangkok, Thailand
and is nicknamed
“the Bangkok
Hilton.” However, it
is far from being a
place that anyone
would want to stay.
The prison is known
for routine torture
of its inmates.
Inmates are crammed into small cells, and death row inmates are
often given as little as two hours notice before they are dragged
off to their execution.

8. Rikers Island Prison
Rikers Island Prison
in New York has a
legacy of prisoner
violence. A man
named John Reyes,
who was a guard at
the prison in 1991,
mentioned being
daily afraid because
of the beatings and
murders he
witnessed there. Because of the prison’s history of violence, it
is now one of the strictest prisons in the world. Several reform
actions at the prison have helped reduce the number of
stabbings a year down from 1,000 to 70.

7. Alcatraz Island Prison
Although Alcatraz
Island Prison,
located on Alctraz
Island off the coast
of San Francisco,
California, has been
shut down for many
years, it housed
some of the most
dangerous criminals
in history. One of its most famous prisoners was Al “Scarface”
Capone. The prison was known for its violent escape attempts,
the most notorious being the escape attempt known as the
“Battle of Alcatraz” in May 1946. Alcatraz was forced to close
its doors on March 21, 1963 because of its poor reputation and
the high cost of maintaining the prison.

6. ADX-Florence Supermax Facility
ADX-Florence in
Colorado is
designed to hold the
worst prisoners,
many in near round-
the-clock solitary
confinement. A
lawsuit was filed in
June 2012 by
several inmates.
The lawsuit charges that the conditions of the prison create an
environment for inmate abuse and torture.

5. La Sante Prison
Paris, France is the
home of La Sante
Prison. The prison
is known as such a
brutal place that
many prisoners
have taken their
own lives over
serving their
sentence there.
1999 saw the
suicides of 124 prisoners. The violence in the prison is so
pervasive that the prisoners are only out of their cells four
hours out of the day. The prison’s system also creates a
hierarchical structure that makes some prisoners more powerful
than others and the conditions worse for the weaker prisoners.

4. Diyarbakir Prison
The conditions at
Diyarbakir Prison in
Diyarbakir, Turkey
have been
notoriously
inhumane. One of
the dark spots of the
prison’s past for
which it has been
known is
incarcerating children for lifelong sentences. The violent nature
of the prison seems to be more from the side of the prison
guards than the prisoners themselves. In 1996, an incident
occurred where guards and police beat prisoners severely. This
incident resulted the death of 10 prisoners and the injuries of
23.

3. La Sabaneta Prison
La Sabaneta Prison
is located in
Venezuela, South
America. The
facilities of the
prison are designed
to house 15,000
prisoners, but
actually houses 25,000. The prison is greatly understaffed, with
approximately 1 guard for every 150 inmates. The prison is
known for its violent incidents. A violent gun battle in 1994
resulted in the death of 108 prisoners. Additionally, 196
prisoners were killed and 624 wounded because of jail violence
in 1995.

2. Tadmor Prison
Tadmor Military
Prison in Palmyra,
Syria is known as
one of the most
oppressive prisons
for a prisoner to
serve time in the
world. Amnesty
International has
stated that “every
aspect of it was
designed to dehumanize its inhabitants.” The most notorious
event in the prison’s history was in June 1980. President Hafez
al-Assad survived an attack on his life by the Muslim
Brotherhood. It was reported that he orders soldiers to execute
every prisoner in sight in retaliation for the attack. Tadmor was
closed down in 2001, but reopened in 2011. It is no less brutal
today.

1. Carandiru Penitentiary
Carandiru
Penitentiary in
Brazil, South
America is arguably
the most violent and
deadly prison in the
world. In 1992, a
violent prison
massacre occurred
when 102 inmates
were shot dead. The
prison is also known for terrible health problems. In the
prison’s health wing, nearly one in five inmates has been
diagnosed with HIV.

Though the world outside is itself a dangerous place, prisons
are undoubtedly some of the most violent places in the world.
Prisons take the most dangerous elements in the world and
isolate them in small places. Though there are many violent
prisons in the world, these ten serve as some of the most
notorious.
