This place is run by a gang.

My advice to you is do what they say.

They've got their own code of conduct that we have no control over.

[Rowe] My name's Raphael Rowe.

I'm traveling the globe to discover what life is really like…

-[barking] -…inside the world's toughest prisons.

Can you give me a tour? I wanna know how things work here.

There are no guards supervising these prisoners.

Gang leaders, they must obey me.

[man] If you follow these rules, you will get incentives.

If not, you will get disciplinary action.

What's the worst disciplinary action?

Uh…

You must be very careful what you say.

[woman] Our main focus is rehabilitation.

-This is the cell block? -[man] Yeah.

[Rowe] It is unsettling. It's too comfortable.

-You're in for murder? -Yeah.

[woman] I think we have to treat them as human beings.

I don't think it will get any better

if we just lock people up and throw away the key.

[Rowe] "We've got to survive," they say.

Here in prison, we are brothers.

It's a war. It's a war against mankind.

[Rowe] "We've got no choice," they say.

We grew up in this thing.

I don't want my children to be victims of these people.

[Rowe] Is it the only way?

That is the way it is.
