The True Story of Killing Pablo
Not to be confused with the upcoming film, this documentary is truly fascinating.
A Jail in Colombia -
A look inside the La Modelo prison in Bogota. Colombia. Called a "model" prison by Colombia officials the prison in reality is controlled more by the prisoners than the guards. With 5000 prisoners for 2400 spots, and not more than 150 security guards assigned to the prison. The prison is awash in violence, and drugs. Last year, 162 prisoners were killed there. The prison is controlled by three criminal groups: members of the guerrilla movement, paramilitary forces, and cocaine traffickers. They have broken the prison up into three different territories and each group has it's own security forces, defending it's own territory.
This was incredible and actually caused the prison to be closed by President Uribe.
Jail Documetaries - There seems to be one or more of these on every night and I never get tired of watching them.
Hour long documentaries of different prisons in the US.
