Human rights activists have their hands full with violation of rights of inmates who live in, to say the least, inhumane conditions. It is a very sensitive topic since one side believes that they get what they deserve while the other believes that everyone should have their rights, regardless of what they did. Insider Monkey experts compiled a list of 15 countries with the worst jails and prisons in the world and they definitely made extra efforts to dig out some very disgusting details. "Getting what they deserve" becomes even more questionable once you read that some people ended up in one of this horrible prisons by mistake, for disagreeing with a dominant political system or for practicing spiritual meditation. Many of them do not make it alive, but those who do make sure to try and expose the brutality of the worst prisons and jails in the world. 


Safe prisons do not really exist, but those with better security and proper infrastructure are definitely safer than overcrowded prison which will be described on this list. The problem actually arises with the very purpose of prisons and jails which is to rehabilitate persons who have gone astray. Of course, a lot depends on the crime he/she committed, but for those who had minor offenses on their record, the goal is to send them back to the society as productive members rather than culprits.Unfortunately, many prisons around the world are overcrowded which results in very poor living conditions and increased violence among the inmates as well as between the guards and inmates. Besides that torture, corruption and staying for a prolonged amount of time in a solitary is often a common trait of worst prisons in the world. As much as we think that that we can grasp the horrors of life inside of the prison, we are probably wrong and we realize this after reading this horrific list of countries with worst jails and prisons in the world.
