Behind Bars 2: The World’s Toughest Prisons - Armavir Prison, Armenia | Free Documentary

Behind Bars Season 2 Episode 6: Armavir Prison, Armenia | Prison Documentary
Behind Bars - Bogota, Colombia: • Behind Bars 2: The Wor...
Once, inmates in Armenian prisons fell into the hands of the "Thieves in Law"- a criminal brotherhood rejecting state authority and living by its own code. They control the prison and control drug trade and smuggling. Nobody knows their leaders, but their power is immense. Armavir prison is the first attempt at limiting their influence by locking them into dedicated cell blocks to protect the other prisoners.
Georg Avangyan is afraid. He's in trouble with the "Thieves in Law". Smuggled goods were found in his cell several times. This time, it was a kitchen knife. He's not afraid of the prison management, but of the brotherhood's power. The "Thieves in Law" expect more cell searches and send a signal to Georg's co-inmates: they are to teach the repeat offender a lesson.
Panicking, Georg had himself voluntarily locked in a single cell. He may be imagining it all, though. His cell block was considered safe from the brotherhood.
Arsen Artstruni prefers to avoid the criminal subculture. He has been in prison for over 20 years. He ordered a double murder as a terrorist in the 1990s and was sentenced to death for it. He didn't see the sun during the first 8 years. While his punishment was converted to life in prison, he has no idea if he will ever be released. He hasn't lost his will to live, though. Arsen is the first Armenian prisoner with a university degree in psychology.

I've seen the documentary about the Madagascar prison. Reality is that guy definitely did not eat only manioc for 38 years because if he did he'd be dead within a year. It does not contain your minimum daily proteins so your muscles will deteriorate, including your heart. Like they said, many people in that prison died from starvation, the guy that was in there for 38 years most likely found a way to get food.

[@DS-hy6ld]

I agree with you. I think the Armenian people, by and large, have reasons to be proud of the way they handle the unfortunate business of having to imprison people. It's been said that a society can be judged by the way they treat their prisoners -- and, by _this_ metric, Armenia's is a fine society, as far as I can tell! And, as a Christian myself, I believe that this admirable treatment is largely the product of Armenia's status as the world's oldest Christian community -- and I'd like to see how it compares and contrasts with Azerbaijan, and how _they_ treat their prisoners!!

[@JAKOB1977]

Definately one of the better prisons.. I would choose that one in Armenia instead of those in South & North America or Africa like Madasgascar... those prisons there are simply inhumane and just make these criminals even more dangerous for all parties.. though I would obviously chose my own countries prisons system.. look up danish maximum security prison and see the pictures - and get an idea of why- To an extent you can measure a society on how the threat their worst offenders, IMO Denmark gone to far the other way... but Denmark also decade after decade rank nr1 on the worlds least c000rrupt country on the mentioned Transperacy International so a very regulated society with high integrity, though also one of the oldest country and the flag of Denmark is the oldest flag on the planet. But it stretches back to the origin of the vikings that originated from Denmark.. England was also part of Denmark until England became sovereign in 1066.. back then England was called Danelaw... also why many English citys are danish named and some of them ends on "by" = city in danish... like Derby.. the US city "New York", also comes from danish... it comes from York in England, that was handed that name by Denmark and the danish viking back when it part was part of Denmark.. as in "Yorvik".. but the heritage can be read on Yorks viking museum.

As a professional in Mental Health and specially Addiction (I am in recovery as well so it's intimate knowledge) I am so impressed that they have a methadone program! This is important because being in Prison is already bad enough, when you add the addiction part it becomes quite literally Hell. This should be a standard practice, but the stigma remains in the US. Addiction can make you commit crimes that you would never ever do sober, and my heart goes out to both inmates and victims.

In Armenia the police also do not carry any guns. Everybody is just pretty chill and crime is now lower than it has ever been. Even the prisoners stick together to protect their own heritage which is the only real reason no Armenian is really afraid of being attacked or robbed or killed by another Armenian.

I went through the methadone clinic and it only works if you want to stop and can't do it cold turkey. I wanted to stop and needed help and the clinic was what got me back to being drug free. I still think about it daily, but another thing about the clinic is the sessions they make you take. And if it wasn't for the sessions I really don't think I would have been able to handle how to stay clean. So now 4 year's down this long ruff road I've stayed clean and enjoy life much more. Glad to see they give them methadone so they're not detoxing. That's the first time I've heard of any prison offering methadone.

Well it's not corrupt anymore, we had a revolution recently and things are ok so far. We're just humaine people and as nation we are like one big family. We don't want anyone to suffer in jails. And most of this people are not violent criminals like gangsters in USA. And this thieves in law make the life of violent criminals(like child molesters) very unpleasant.

@@donnar9864 Noah and Donna, I couldn't agree with you more! Homeless and elderly people whom have never committed a crime in their lives and have worked and paid tax would very much appreciate secure, heated and ventilated accommodation in which food is provided, along with laundry and with the electricity and water bills paid! Most of those cells were in effect studio apartments, with kitchens, toilets and showers, and living and sleeping quarters. Many honest, decent citizens don't have that! Even the drug addicts get free drugs every day, those funds should be diverted and the convicts should not be given such luxuries.

Homelessness is extremely rare in Armenia. Probably only about .1% could be homeless. But this doesn’t mean that they’re not very poor. Many family struggle to keep food on the table because of the years of corruption in government. Armenians are so resilient.
