Meet The Murderers Jailed In Venezuela's Luxury Prison

Party Prison: The villains and murderers banged up in a South American Benidorm

Latin American jails are usually dark places. But San Antonio Prison in Venezuela could be mistaken for a holiday resort, with its swimming pool, food stalls and overnight accommodation for guests.
"This is a surreal paradise. They are safer here than anywhere else in the city", says psychologist Karina Hum. It's so good that many don't want to leave. But behind the dance parties and families having fun in the sunshine, the world of drugs, guns and violence is still evident. The man in charge is El Conejo, a powerful and famous jailed gangster. "The government here does not control anything at all", says Carlos Nieto Palma, who runs a non-government organisation that monitors the prisons. Recognising the authority of criminals solves a big problem in the prison system, but it also means turning a blind eye to what criminals do best. "We are promoting a penitentiary revolution", says Prisons Minister Iris Varela.

[@wishiwassleeping2829]

@conacal rubdur I'm an American and gotta say, we definitely own a part of this. The US government has been waging an economic war against Venezuela for a long time and it has had crippling affects on their ability to effectively govern. The times they have tried to take back control of the prison system the US starts screaming about human rights violations. Our foreign policy is driven by the military industrial complex and has many unforseen consequences.

[@wishiwassleeping2829]

@conacal rubdur the US government would like to see a regime change in Venezuela. By creating unfavorable economic situations the US government was hoping the people of Venezuela would get rid of the government on their own. The military industrial complex means that when war becomes profitable people always want to go to war. Defense contractors get rich when we go to war, so they are eager for conflict with Venezuela.

Criminal life is actually a fulfilling life as long as you don't f*ck up. Selling drugs you'll get more money then you ever imagined. Getting 60k a year working hard ? Selling drugs you can get that in a month or two. You don't need to be someone special to make good money like everyday life. You do good, you'll move up. Unlike the work force where you'll most likely be screwed over year after year waiting for what you deserve as your boss buys a new house and cars. People hate the criminal world, but they reward you when you are good at it.

I'd love to see some statistics on this prison. Like what's the recidivism rate, and how does the expenses compare to other more traditional prisons in the country. This definitely doesn't seem like something I'd like to see here in the US but our prison system needs a complete and total reshaping. Here in the United States if you go to prison for any length of time it follows you for the rest of your life. Giving up your freedom temporarily is supposed to pay your debt to society. But if you're a felon here in America your debt is never fully paid. Once you have a prison record your job opportunities are extremely limited. You can lose your right to vote. To lease or rent an apartment you have to pass a criminal background check so it's hard to find housing. Since you can't find work normally you'd qualify for temporary housing assistance from the government but your status as a felon means you no longer qualify for housing assistance or food assistance. If you want to further your education your felon status blocks you from getting a subsidized student loan, and some colleges will not admit you anyway. And even when you're released from prison, most of the time there's a lengthy probation period which comes with a lot of fines and fee you must pay every month. And your assigned probation officer can send you back to prison for any little infraction like getting a speeding ticket, or hanging out with someone who has a prison record. All of this makes it almost impossible to reenter society and become a productive law abiding citizen no matter how hard you try. That's why most prisoners here end up back in prison. You can get caught with a small amount of marijuana at 17 and that one mistake can ruin the rest of your life. That's why we have the largest prison population in the developed world. And most of them are African American males like me. Thank God I grew up in a two parent household in a wealthy suburban neighborhood so I'm one of the lucky ones. It's really hard to get white Americans to care about prisoners and get them involved in criminal justice reform because their relationship with law enforcement and our legal system is a whole lot different than the relationship African Americans have with law enforcement. I think that's starting to change some but it's hard to quantify at this point. Maybe it's conditioning or brain chemistry but it seems like empathy is a lot harder to come by when empathy is needed between people of a different race.

In the scnadinavian countries they have a similar program with not quite as much freedom and have over 90% of their prisoners, even murderers, never return to prison whereas in the US over 80% do... and that includes non-violent offenders. this video is an example of rehabilitation where in the US we essentially force people to join a gang or get raped by sending them to prison, and we also have the highest incarceration rate in the free world, only closely behind north korea if that doesn't set your freedom alerts off then idk what will... the US legal system strips away the most basic and Constitutional rights of our citizens.

I work in Law Enforcement in the USA, and to think that some Officer risked himself to arrest these people and for them to be living better now than they were on the street makes me sick. This footage is a serious black eye for prisions World wide.

[@linapahulu3584]

This would have been better if they minus the booze, regulate the sleep overs and have classes to educate them for qualification when they get out and a proper schedule timetable for their allowances. Its a good idea to try and turn these criminals away from crime by changing their mindset to minimise abuse but I don't think the system was well planned and approved appropriately. I see a lot of benefits for they way this prison is run but there is a lot that needs to be tidied up. Risk your life to save a life rather than to make life worse and threatened in the future?

[@winstonking3966]

ya you have a point,and i do agree with you.but at the same time every counrry has there own problems to deal with and their deal with it in that manner.

[@JAVIMIR1989]

That "officer" more than likely have made the same or more crimes that the prisoners so i dont feel sorry for him i feel that both should be in jail for decades not enjoin life in jail (personal experience of me and every venezuelan)

Right on! A congressman here in the States about a decade ago tried to get a dept. of peace. That was quickly shot down by the dept. of defense. I wonder if that is a fun job? Ministry of supreme happiness, I guess it depends on how many people are unhappy.

But raped everyday is REALITY either. Maybe someone likes that

[@esk8spirit362]

that is how it should be and if you say otherwise you just lack empathy and common sense, that's it. Prison is to keep you away from the bad stuff you were doing and show you empathy and the better side you can be on. What do todays prisons do? They torture you and make you worse... I don't think that should be the point of prisons...

[@esk8spirit362]

DynamicSphinxxx FIrst thing we as people need to realize is that we are mentally and physically fucked up brain damaged enslaved idiots that are way worse than animals. The most basic thinking and acting is wrong. When we realize that, then maybe we might relize what prisons are for and they should be for. I mean, in my opinion there should be no prisons, no matter who you are and what you do I don't think there should be any official rights or laws that approve of bad stuff. I kill someone, I am a murderer, the system gives me death penalty. But the system is looked at as justice, right doing and people don't understand there is no difference. Actually there is, the murderer usually is on drugs, mentally ill, badly risen in a poor and non empathic enviroment etc... While the system is very sober, taking months and years to do you harm and make you suffer, I see that as way more evil than a crazy guy on drugs killing someone. EVERYTHING IS WRONG. Tell me when do people act according to what they think it's right? 99 percent of all the conversations and dialoques are about immediate reaction of your predefined brain to certain aspects. most people are egoistic and if anything touches their ego, they react accordingly. If they would feel you have more arguments, they would react accordingly etc... And this reacting accordingly means acting exactly like animals, doing without thinking, reacting without thinking. Just like animals but at least you can predict an animal and they are not deceiving, lying and cunning while people are fucking evil bastards willing to suck the life out of their parents for just a little gain, happy new year by the way...

[@esk8spirit362]

***** Very nice argument. How often do they let you use the computer?

[@esk8spirit362]

***** dude, you should get of the pcp or amphetamins you are taking and maybe smoke a joint or something. WHat the hell are you talking about? If jails were full of psychopathic murderers and rapists then maybe but jails especially in your cool America are 90 percent full of small drug addicts, drug dealers, drunk drivers etc. It's business. Fuck this disgusting system and fuck dumb shitheads like you. WHo are you to suggest how to manipulate with peoples lifes? You are gonna say they did this and they did that and I am gonna ask you again, who are you to say it is right to harass, imprison or otherwise manipulate with a human being? Get brains asshole

[@esk8spirit362]

[@esk8spirit362]

And no I am not islamic or any kind of specific religion.

This jail is luxurious, That's why Vanezuela is top in crimes

[@oceantraveller11]

Before you criticize the manner in which this jail is run, reflect on the number of Americans that die in our jail systems through guard abuse neglect and by fellow prisoners. Prison or incarceration means loss of liberty; people are locked up in a facility for a certain duration of time. That is their punishment. The punishment should not include abuses from guards or fellow inmates. You may not agree with Venezuela's prisons but in contrast to American prisons they make a hell of a lot more sense. Allowing conjugal visits reduces sexual abuse by fellow inmates. Treating people like normal individuals, allowing them visits, to cook and even the use of a pool and music reduces stress and makes it easier for guards. I don't agree with having open bars, serving liquor but all in all their system is far less expensive to run than ours and far more humane. If our prison systems were more civilized than those coming out of prison might not be the hardened criminals our systems produce.

[@linapahulu3584]

I Agree. People are forgetting that prisoners should come out with a positive mind set and have actual positive goals rather than come out seeking vengeance or traumatized by the experience inside. Prison should really be a rehabilitation facility rather then a dungeon. No matter what the crime is.

[@winstonking3966]

ya only the poor get penalized or should i say all those who can't afford an excellent counsel,it is a simple example as how the poor make the rich richer,because the prison industry is a huge business.if you are a felon,it is almost impossible to get a job,so there for how are you going to support your family.this system really in need of a change.powerful people never show powerless people how to take away the power away from them.simple the rich get there riches off the back of the poor.

[@Kimmyy171]

Im glad you pointed this out, i agree very much so

[@LIBERALGUNSMOKER]

they had to do this guys. gangs had guns and grenades in the prison before. real life talk research it on youtube. bringing kids in the prison family does keep the violence down. at least they did something, they are trying. what is America doing???

[@EPaige-vq5yx]

Swallowing taxpayer dollars making private prisons that jail weed smokers and let murderers run rampant....cause murderers don't line pockets like stoners do!

[@bluediamondminer]

Those U.S jails are downright evil.....I'm not defending the criminals but when you treat the criminals like animals you become a criminal yourself.

[@winstonking3966]

America prison breed more prisoners and it is big business.This jail really rehab because these prisoners live like when there are free or better,so when their come out in the world it would not be difficult for them to ajust to the society or their community..
