I just can’t imagine that a Peruvian prison would be a place where I’d like to stay. I don’t think I’d even be a little tempted to mess with their stuff.

I’ve watched some shows about prisons in Central and South America. No way possible would I even jaywalk or litter in one of those countries.
In many of the prisons the guards rarely enter the prison grounds. The interior is run by the gangs. Everything from food to water to safety is controlled by the gangs.
There are no cells like American prisons, just buildings inside a wall. The gangs will control a building or a section of a building. They keep lookout against raiders from other gangs.
Food and water are handed out every other day. The gang leaders will task members to go to the front gate to pick up food rations. Water is retrieved from a rusty pipe that is liable to go dry at any time. Water is usually short.
Murders and rapes are a common occurrence, hence the need to be gang affiliated. Gang affiliation also means a share of food rations.
Homosexuals and foreigners are not allowed in the gangs and must scrounge for themselves. Sometimes foreigners can buy some protection with cash. Sometimes not.
They make the worst American prisons look like a day at the beach.
I don’t know. We could ask Joran van der Sloot...................
