    • I think, here too in our country our Bilibid prison is so formerly dangerous too because it was discovered that there is a shabu laboratory there. The drug Lords are given special treatment and all the prison guards and even the warden are under his payroll.

      It is said that in there, every day a guy commits suicide by falling from a building. ANd these are those who are under the influence of the drugs.

      But then with the new President of our country, all those personnel there were replaced by the Special Armed Forces and those drug dens and labs were eradicated.

      I really hope that the drug laboratory there is really gone as the news have it.

    • Well! It's safe to say that these are 10 locations did not make my list of "Places I'd Like to Visit". :)

    • I do think that every country has its dangerous prison. Since the new president in my country is so eager to terminate people who are involved in illegal drugs. It is a chaos action but what can we do about it. That's the reason why it is most likely that the local prisons will not be crowded in my country. The reason, the drug lords, and its allies will not be able to have a judicial process.
