Laurie gancho jail is one of South
America’s toughest prisons conditions
are appalling dude largely to
overcrowding built for 3600 in now
houses nearly 10,000 inmates in Peru
officially we assumed the criminals had
a second chance and they have to be
rehabilitated but unfortunately the
reality is not normally like that
because we don’t have enough phones we
don’t have enough money on budget we’ve
mass overcrowding luregon chose 21
overcrowded cell blocks can explode into
open civil war in 1986 in one day alone
124 prisoners died the authorities only
have 100 guards to please 10,000 violent
inmates it has led to an extraordinary
deal the Peruvian prison service has
handed power to the inmates this is very
difficult for 100 people to control
10,000 emails so they have normally do
to ask for the support of criminals who
are leaders in the prison and normally
these people helps a lot to get calmed
the prison guards patrol the walls and
control the entrances to the blocks but
it’s the prisoners who run the jail day
to day there is a ruling council of
inmate leaders called the delegates they
are elected by the inmates but often
they are the most powerful criminals in
the jail these people that have tons of
20 years 15 years that have been very
well known criminals and I now what they
only one is the quote of power you know
so they help the authorities to have
come the new criminals they’re a major
tourism
gracias a disciplinary el de tito a a
todos ustedes o delegado estamos contra
del canal I pass for the last three
years they have kept a fragile peace but
the prison remains on a knife edge
