    This is a re-release due to some editing adjustments we were required to make.
    Ronnile Dumagit doesn't yet know what to expect. He's new. First time in jail. The learning curve is fast. There's no other way to survive unless you're quick to realize who's really in charge. There's one name: El Presidente. He and his henchmen rule the world inside this hellhole. This hellhole where the struggle for space, for air, for food, is constant. Until, if ever, you are able to walk out of there on your own two feet.
    South Cotabato Prison is one of the worst in the world. And followers of this series know - unimaginable and inhumane conditions reign. Guilty and innocent all squished in together. Rapists, murders and petty thieves incarcerated into the most appalling living facilities (if you can even call it that) together. Thanks to that rather evil person aka the president of the Philippines outside with his war on drugs, the justice system is completely overwhelmed. What does that mean? Thousands of accused individuals - many innocent or for minor offences - are forced to wait months, years, for their trials in the tropical heat and the conditions you'll see in this documentary. It's not an easy watch.

      I took my family to live in my wife's village in NE Thailand. The three oldest were bored living in a village of 300 with a 90% illiteracy rate . After 3 years the three oldest returned to the US. 6 months later, they thanked me for opening the eyes and hearts. Their mother was poor, but we taught them to live and respect the poor. Now, my oldest got his degree and has worked for NGOs and the US State Department in poor countries. I told him " once you hear the Whos (Dr Seuss reference), you will always hear the Whos. My oldest refuses to be identified as mixed race. He just says that he has a "Ethnically Ambiguous Appearance)

    What the guy said: "May nagbalita sayo na yung anak mo nagkasakit, wala ka manlang ma ano.."
    Translated as: "I can't do anything but wait, I miss my family so much"

    Translation for 2:25
    What the guy said: "Yan lang iniisip ko sana makaalis ako dito kasi sobrang hirap"
    Translated as: "All I can think about is getting out of here, ESCAPING"
    Correct translation: "The only thing I can think of is getting out of here, it's very hard (being in prison)"
    Translation for 16:58
    What the guy said: "Saka mula ng pagkabata ko ngayon ko lang 'to naranasan, yung ganitong buhay, ang hirap talaga mam"
    Translated as: "It's unbelievably hot, I can't breathe, I feel claustrophobic, I don't know how I make it"

      While they are inside,treating each other with respect keeps your social life with the inmates nuetral and even beneficial.
      And also the fact that el presidente an inmate runs the whole jail and keeps all the prisoners in check more than the guards really shows what respect can get you here.

      I was literally thinking the same thing. That deflection is a clear sign he didn't want to fully admit what he did. Even the whole "Good relationship" with said niece threw me off. Any relative should have a good relationship with their family, so I'm pretty sure there was something dark with him and that girl.

    • @kittykittykitkat
      @kittykittykitkat 4 месяца назад +3

      Totally deflecting. Says he only remembers a few things. It was his wife's niece actually. He claimed she kept approaching him so they became "close", and so "what shouldn't have happened did happen". The entire family told him he's on his own after what he's done. No better guess than SA, really.

    The documentation is very good. Very informative actually and very raw.
    My suggestion is only that, when they interview someone in their local language, it's best to have Written Subtitles on screen instead of translating it on voiceover.
    Because, there is some essence in what the interviewed person is saying that only the locals can understand and cannot be translated by the voiceover artist. This way, it makes us feel the emotion behind the person speaking. As a Filipino, I can feel there's more to what they're saying than what is being heard during the interview dubbing.
    Overall, this is a very good eye opener to all our fellow countrymen here on what's life like on the inside.

  • @kevinpatricklim9944
    @kevinpatricklim9944 3 года назад +326

    The documentary is very insightful. However, I think there might be something lost in translation at around 46:30. “Gusto kong lumaya” is not “I want to escape”. This can be construed as something bad. What he is saying is that he wants to be free, but not necessarily escape from the prison. The word “makatas” is closer to “escape” in english, which is also a willful breaking of the law.

      lol I've been to jail for drug charges, possesion and selling and no it doesn't reach 10-15 years, that's a bit far fetched. Most of the time, it's just 1 year and that's sometimes because of the lack of Public attorneys and/or the inability and the unwillingness of the suspect and his family to cooperate (follow ups of documents, police reports e.g)
      I've been there, and each and every prisoner would always say they are innocent, lol it's a running joke in prison, that each and every one would always claim they are innocent and the inmates would just laugh it off
      Also, false accusations and lengthy trials are not unique to the Philippines, even the US has had their fair share of long trials, which are out in the open and well documented even by the media. You think the world is a utopia where the philippines is the only dump, when in fact almost every part the world is crooked, even the US and europe.
      I tell you this, if you are poor and have no money, it will only take an innocent and falsely accused man a year before they get sentenced in court. But if you are rich and powerful, even if you are guilty, and everybody knows you are guilty, even if the dead could speak and say that you were guilty, now THAT will take 10-15 years before they sentence you not guilty. see Vizconde Massacre/Hubert Webb et. al vs people of the PH
      The accused were sons of Rich and powerful people.
      Tagalugin ko ha? Kung mahirap ka, 1 taon lang sisintensyahan kana. Kung mayaman ka yan ang naabot ng 10-15 years kasi may pang abugado ka. BOBO

      @OfftheWallTales 3 года назад +9

      What these videos have shown me, and what honestly makes sense (in a sad, sad way) is the poorest countries have the worst prison systems. They can be overcrowded to where they're locked inside with 30 men, or they can be literal cities where you're just locked inside. But those places seem to not have enough money to really put a dent into the substance abuse issues so they make their sentences insane, hoping to scare people out. Too bad it doesn't help when someone's addicted with no way to get help.
      And then there's extremely rich countries that have the funds to make prisons into essentially rehabilitative hotels. They do the best of any system.
      And right in between you have the mess of American jails, where we try to help before jail but then don't help once you're in.
