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.

What is actually sad here is that there is a possibilty that some of these prisoners are innocent and victims of injustice just because they are poor :((
Yes mam your correct,it's true some prisoner in the jail are innocent, here in philippines are same,the other prisoner are innocent,because poor ,it's sad to say the any police here it's to bad
What really is sad they live like that because the Spain and later US use the country to profit from. They didnt use drugs before the US realised the market they can sell the drugs to.
You are correct. Some police man here are not doing there job well. Other police man arrest some innocent people they accuse them that they are drug dealers or murderrer just because they are poor.
The most terrifying thing about this is that these men havent even been given a trial yet, they are just suspects at this point. Who knows how many innocent men are in this jail going through hell?
Even more terrifying is the government publicly killed 4000 suspects (some international government officials claim the number is more like 20,000) without a trial just to send a message to all, and these are the guys who got 'lucky' by just getting prison aka hell and a chance of a trial.
@@beyondthestars4299 The government is killing those "accused" of selling drugs, so those who are, or those who served (drugs) in the past turn themselves in to avoid state murder. The act of turning themselves in has overburdened the judicial system.
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)
Translation for 2:00 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" Correct translation: "Someone informed you that your son had been sick, you can't do anything" 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" Correct translation: "This is the first time I experience this since I was a kid, this kind of life, it really is difficult ma'am" Translation for 17:40 What the guys said: "Pantay pantay man, ako lang kasi eh (inaudible part), pati ang kwan dipende na yan kasi diba, pantay pantay ang treatment pero ang pagkain minsan pagka may kaya-kaya sila ang nagluluto" Translated as: "Everyone is treated equally here, everyone but me that is. I have a special status but all other are under my supervision and are equal." Correct translation: "Everyone is treated equally, it's just that me (inaudible part), including the..it depends right, it's equal treatment but the food though sometimes those with enough money (lifestyle) can cook on their own. Translation for 19:48 What the guy said: "Mahirap talaga sa daming tao dito saka..iba kasi dun sa labas saka iba dito sa loob kasi iba ang mga buhay namin dun sa mga bahay namin iba ang buhay namin dito dahil.." Translated as: "The night was hard long. I didn't sleep at all. I always thought of my family but they're out there all alone." Correct Translation: "It really is difficult due to the number of people here and..it is different outside as to what it is inside (here in prison), we have different kind of lives in our houses compared here." I stopped correcting the translations for the rest of the video cause I guess you already got the point.
I guarantee you've complained ... It's human nature to live in the moment and the chances you think of this everytime you're about to complain is exactly 0.00
Basically a literal community, although a majority of them are heinous criminals, 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.
It's sad to hear kids saying, " When I grow up, I wanted to be a lawyer, attorney, or judge to help the poor from injustice.” But after they got the job, their principles and commitment are just pure words of an innocent kid.
It's not even that they become evil; most of them still try to fight for the innocent, but they realize they can't win. It's the same as with all of us saying our government is always corrupt anyway so why bother doing anything. Like those kids, we also realize nothing is going to change and we're not doing anything about it.
The translation in the end was wrong. He wasnt saying he wanted to illegally escape, he said he wants to be free someday(after serving his sentence). Makalaya - to be free Makatakas - to escape Maka - verb appropriates to "to do" Laya - free Takas - escape
I lost everything in my business I was very desperate but now after watching this I can say I haven't lost anything because I'm still alive Thank GOD.....
Dude you might have lost everything material but believe me there are worst days places you could be and be miserable and alive while feelind dead inside , good luck hope you get back on your feet
I feel you man. This pandemic really made living harder so i have to sell my tricycle and motorcycle just to have something to eat and pay bills. Hope we get back man good luck and Godbless
Lessons i learnt: Gratitude in life✅ Anger Management ✅ No to drugs✅ Family is everything ✅ Edit : OMG! THANKS FOR THE 3.7K LIKES. DIDN'T EXPECT THIS 🤣
In many of these countries being honest and "clean" still ain't enough. Lynch mobs are common and all it takes is a angry girl to make claims and here they come. Some have no choice and basically joining a gang isn't a option. Rub a wealthy or powerful person off will also do you in.
Cuz the life in prison here in philippines are so fvcking cruel!! Based on my experienced, yeah fo real!! We are 100% not death but our lives inside in prison is totally died .. that is because of our government (Dilawan/aquino administrative) the reason why our country is definitely cruel
@@stricklybusiness1254 his family supports him in the end and nephews(not all of them) are never going to replace real son,they are with you just for money and other stuffs.
The worst part is the uncertainty of their conditions. That place is supposed to be a temporary place for them but the reality it became their permanent home, absolutely heartbreaking
@@LivingLyfelikeaMuffin they aren't as bad many believe, we're bad compared to Europe but paradise compared to the rest of the world. Depending on what jail your sent too and what you did, the inmates know.
I always thought my room is too small and uncomfortable but having watched this !!! Brothers and sisters my room has become spacious and very comfortable 🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿 lots of love
Be thankful for what you have. Be thankful for what you can do Be thankful for being with your family Be thankful for you can go everywhere Always be thankful for your health,happiness and freedom. Keep it in mind
39:47 “This unexpected thing happened.” BS, I bet you anything he must’ve sexually assaulted and/or killed his niece, for his family to condemn him like that.
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.
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.
I live 3 blocks away from the provincial jail. Never thought it would be this horrid. I even heard one of my friend's friend is locked up in jail after a buy bust operation. Hope everyone gets justice
@@chaoshi72 i dont know if im just privileged, but im not rich, im living in the philippines and i think there are worse countries out there deserved to be called horrible. Maybe if one is an inmate, that would be a different story.
15 years and no family member visited .. watching every Saturday everyone else's family and crying inside for your doom .. got goose bumps when I heard this Romeo's story .Every new video of behind the bars series made my appreciation stronger for my Freedom and family ❤
he raped his niece who he was looking after. that guy is therefore condemned inside a hellish prison. can u imagine how much everyone hates him and how bad his crime really is. they made it PG and didnt wanna reveal it on youtube. but yea other countries they murder child rapists in jail
I noticed some of the prisoners seemed to have been surprised at how bad the prison is. This documentary should be required viewing in the Philippines.
@@betolinni innocent? Nope, most of them know nothing about what they did wrong. I'm a filipino and I can assure you most of them, the murderers, rapists, and drug dealers they all deserves death or to be behind bars.
you are not wrong. they even get to order snacks and food on a commissary, they get to submit grievance form for whatever they think offended them or their "right" and a lot of them are disrespectful.
@@emiogawa86 People do get raped in US Prison but in movies it’s just over saturated. People mainly fight about food in there and other crazy things. There’s also gangs inside.
The Madagascar one is worse by far. The pinoy place don't seems too bad. Surely its owercrowded and not exactly up to western standards, but apparently all the inmates there have their own bedspace, are feed 3 times a day with something that not a boiled root with a cyanide substance and can stay out of trouble if they choose so.
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.
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.
@@hannibalatthegate3384 I wish there was some way in youtube that will allow them(creators) to put additional audio and subtitle seperately, and allow us(viewers) to toggle those options The dubbed was kinda annoying, for me, being a filipino. Also I think YT already had that kind of feature for audio as well? I remember seeing one in Tom Scott videos.
@@jasonbrody1619 I’m telling being half Filipino but I can fully understand, I have abit of trouble talking Tagalog, but I no for a fact that the translation were off lmaooo🤣🤣
@@jasonbrody1619 RUclips does do this. It's the Closed Captions. Just turn them on. You can also switch them into different langauges. Hope that helps! Oh and this works on any video, not just these.
I have visited this prison for 3 times. I joined the prison ministry of one of the Christian Church there in Koronadal and it broke my heart with the situation s of the prisoners there. That church has help to change the lives of many prisoners of that jail. I hope to visit there again someday.
Yes you can send I still have contact with my friends and the Christian Church in Koronadal South Cotabato... Just tell me if want me to give you there address... Right now I am working here in Hong Kong... Thanks for replying on my comments here and it also encourages me do to the same since I have work...
@@roseeriman1863 Yes What is the Contact Info address of the Prison Ministry of the Christian Church in Koronadal South Cotabato? Thank you for your service in Jesus Christ
46:32 "makalaya" doesn't mean "escape".. the guy didn't say he wants to escape, he said he would like to be set free as soon as possible. PLEASE FIX THE TRANSLATIONS.
Don't bother, this guy (whoever he is) that owns this channel doesn't listen to our opinions he just want to put his political point of view in his "what it is and what it should be view". I've tried like 3 months ago asking for reTranslation but instead he got my post/comment deleted
I'm from General Santos City, South Cotabato, Philippines. I believe this is from Koronadal city which, is 59km/37miles from our city. In my 24 years of my life, I only heard that there is a Provincial Jail in Koronadal City but, I never thought that this is the kind of Jail I've ever witness and, this is the first time I've seen this provincial jail. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE.
@@JoeBuck207 not all of them committed a crime. A lot of them are just suspects but there to be detained and stuff. Nobody actually has a trial. Just imagine how many innocent people are there
@@JoeBuck207 true without any trial assumptions and speculations proves nothing. Not everyone in jail is guilty, surely there are a lot more guilty people outside of jail, specially in the philippines where money reigns over justice
Seeing the prisoner give his money which he only has/have in his pocket breaks my heart. And the fact that I live in Polomolok, South Cotabato too. Hoping everyone gets justice 🙏
Thanks FD for making this documentary in one of our overcrowded prisons in PH. We Filipinos are still grateful despite the unfavorable situation, the faith and hope of the couple prisoner is so high. I feel for them and praying that one day justice will be served so they can reunite with their children.
@33:33 The prisoner said something along the lines of : "Its hard to breath inside, unlike here outside its spacious, in there its overcrowded so its harder to breath" That's all he said, its like the translator is just making up what he's saying...
Most of the statements from the interviewed personalities were omitted to suit whatever the documentary wants you to see. Whoever translated for this documentary failed to capture the griefs and true statements of the people involved in this documentary. 7/10
Years ago I worked with a guy for a while I think he quit. Next thing I heard he was caught with a large amount of narcotics in the Philippines. I googled his name, found the mugshot; the look on his face said ‘I’ve made a huge mistake’. As far as I know he’s still locked up over there.
When I watch these prison videos I am reminded of the importance of keeping good relations with my relatives. In the toughest times, they will be your hope and the ones most willing to stay by your side.
I've been locked up a few times in the U.S.A. but nothing like this. Holy Smoke I'm so glad I was never outside the U.S. doing crimes. Thanks for the video
I m curious to know what happened to the couple inmates. It broke my heart when I saw the man crying for being helpless for their children. Hope they get re-united soon.
Could have very well been pardoned because of the pandemic, as in 2020, 10,000 Filipino inmates were pardoned. However it remains confidential if they got released, so chances that they are behind bars remain very high.
I'm very thankful that my life is not that much worse so whenever I have problems I learn not complain instead I'll try to be calm and reflect then plan on what should I do in order to overcome my own problem.. If I fail then I try to be patient then work out again and not to lose hope..
@@lioneljoseduterte4847 not sure about the numbers, but it's common knowledge that justice process in the Philippines drags way too much if you're poor.. that's why I don't think highly of people who take law or involved in judiciary
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 Yan napapala ng kakapanuod ng mga pelikula at teleseryeng nakakabobo. Iniimagine mo nang totoo yung mga nakikita mo. Bobo
@@khust2993 It's common knowledge or it's what info the TV stations have been feeding us since time immemorial? LOL. The ones that gets dragged too long, most of the time are those of well off families who can afford lawyers and spin doctors. I've been to jail, and inmates have weekly-monthly visits from PAO or Public defenders to help with their cases. Now the main problem is the lack of public attorneys, and pro bono lawyers. Yung sinasabi nyong pag mahirap kawawa? LOL ang sabihin nyo, maraming adik at drug pusher na mahirap. most of the time ang mga nasa loob ay pabalik balik na at minsan hindi na nakikipag tulungan mismo sa abugado, may iba ring ayaw nang lumabas dahil nakagisnan na ang buhay sa loob, may hanapbuhay at mas may kwenta pa sila sa loob, may kilala din akong dating dealer na paglabas nagnakaw agad para makabalik sa loob 1 month lang sa labas tuwang tuwa pa pagbalik. Yung mga mayaman, gugustuhin talaga makalabas kasi may gagawin pa sa labas, at yun nmang mga patapon at latak sa lipunan ayaw na lumabas dahil mas may kwenta sila sa loob. Yan ang totoo Tsk, yang mga pang telenobela nyong opinyon na sa Telebisyon lang nangyayari hahaha, yung mga kawawa si kwan kawawa si kwan kasi mahirap hahahahahaha tatawanan lang kayo ng mga nasa loob. Ganyan din ako dati, may pa feelings feelings pang nalalaman nabago pagpasok ko hahahaha
The translator isn’t really translating what the guys were saying ..he’s making it all up on his own words ..i dont know if anyone catches it ,but i do!
Because of this video I feel I don't want to be away from the people I love. Really freedom is when we're with the people loved by. Not being locked away wishing for one time to spent with family and friends
Jails around the world are SO different... I've always imagined bars and cells, but watching these documentaries, some jails in some countries are like a town under military rule..
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.
@@AbidAhmed786 yes I can tell but I give you credit because you must speak a native language obviously that’s not English and you learned some English on the side... but if you only speak English I feel bad for you son
I wish there were update shows for these videos. It’s so heart breaking to see the life some live, without even being convicted, some innocent, some serving years too long for crimes even if guilty.
Majority of the interviews are inaccurately interpreted and translated in English. Please make sure this is done accurately in order to provide facts to all viewers. I'm a Filipino so whenever they speak in our language I wonder why it says differently. Just an honest feedback.
@@jadejenkins3215 Yes, a bit, here and there the facts said by prisoners or guards can be omitted or relayed in a harsher, stricter manner, so that it would be closer to the media view.
This statement may be ironic, but this is actually very true. Heck, in North Korea everyone is starving except Kim Jong Un and the his cronies despite being communist and technically not having “class systems.”
@@christianjocson5509 I feel like this dude would do a better job of maintaining North Korea than Kim ever will, he'd even kill to protect his land, quite literally.
I was feeling down, complaining about some stuff which I have no control of...But after watching this, I got up so fast, thanked God and appreciate EVERYTHING I have, including freedom.
The translation's difference with what they are actually saying is quite disturbing for me. But anyways, I hope they'll improve this coz it matters a lot.
I agree. They're trying to make an image with the script they're using that this is complete hell. Even if that means compromising what is originally said by the respondent
This place makes some prisons in the US look like a five-star Hilton… The main issue here is the severe understaffing of the facility, which is leading them to have an almost 100% “hands-off” approach to controlling the people. Setting themselves up for one violent incident after the next with little or no control in daily operations. Moral of the story = Don’t get locked up here or locked up anywhere for that matter
Yeah, without social services/social healthcare things like this end up happening. And then there's people who say the poor shouldn't be supported, that is exactly what creates these kind of situations, and if they receive money that money circulates back into society through spending which creates wealth.
Jugding only from what it shown in the fottage it can argued that they are better off with the grand old man and his crew running the place. Modest violence to upkeep the discipline and order, but no apparent big drugs, prison gangs or predator issues.
I always taught myself to think twice or more & never make decisions that you might regret in your whole life. It's sad to see this people that they want to change however they dont have a choice but to deal w/ their hopeless waiting. May god bless.
@@windelblabz7846 Because of pedos?? What sense does that make? Also I wouldn't be taking any pointers from Duterte, when you have people in jails without trails for DECADES....
It's amazing how many sex offenders say stuff like that. Apparently they do this around the world. I used to work in a US prison and some of the excuses I heard to justify sex offenses were enough to make you heave. The jail in the video is a sad situation. Everyone should get a hearing promptly, though trials can take awhile. I do not agree with everything the government of my country does, much less the governments of other countries, however, I think we can all agree that sex offenders/molesters should be locked up where they can't hurt any more people.
It reminds me of the novel "The Trial" by Kafka because how they all are suffering without a verdict and are in confusion about their future and current situation, like the protagonist of the novel. Its saddening to see how real this all is.

Yep, for me especially road rage.
Honestly, their prison culture is the most wholesome I've seen yet in this series. South East Asians truly are a friendly people.
Basically a literal community, although a majority of them are heinous criminals,
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.
@@erbferdinand8905 Really fascinating. But it takes a certain type of people to begin with.
@@Peter_Parker69 Yup money and power going hand in hand.
Still, you wouldn't want to be there, regardless of their smily faces. That should creep you out.
It's sad to hear kids saying, " When I grow up, I wanted to be a lawyer, attorney, or judge to help the poor from injustice.” But after they got the job, their principles and commitment are just pure words of an innocent kid.
Corrupted 😈
That's society, it is simply controlled by money
It's not even that they become evil; most of them still try to fight for the innocent, but they realize they can't win. It's the same as with all of us saying our government is always corrupt anyway so why bother doing anything. Like those kids, we also realize nothing is going to change and we're not doing anything about it.
Wow, innocent words from a kid....🔞

Yupp but some people wouldn't understand until life hit them in a crisis
39:47 “This unexpected thing happened.” BS, I bet you anything he must’ve sexually assaulted and/or killed his niece, for his family to condemn him like that.
100% he definitely sexually assaulted her.
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.
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 Madagascar one is worse by far. The pinoy place don't seems too bad. Surely its owercrowded and not exactly up to western standards, but apparently all the inmates there have their own bedspace, are feed 3 times a day with something that not a boiled root with a cyanide substance and can stay out of trouble if they choose so.

Same. Came here from there
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.
Philippines one the most worst country in the world
Tru, Idon't like the voiceover
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.
So much of the translation where abit off
@@hannibalatthegate3384 I wish there was some way in youtube that will allow them(creators) to put additional audio and subtitle seperately, and allow us(viewers) to toggle those options

@@lioneljoseduterte4847 not sure about the numbers, but it's common knowledge that justice process in the Philippines drags way too much if you're poor.. that's why I don't think highly of people who take law or involved in judiciary
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

Because of this video I feel I don't want to be away from the people I love. Really freedom is when we're with the people loved by. Not being locked away wishing for one time to spent with family and friends
Jails around the world are SO different... I've always imagined bars and cells, but watching these documentaries, some jails in some countries are like a town under military rule..
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.
Yes, because poor areas exist after all.

@Clement Stefanovski lmao
@Clement Stefanovski Cmon mate
@Clement Stefanovski Down bad long distance head ahh
Best documentary. I feel so sad for innocent prisoners.
Majority of the interviews are inaccurately interpreted and translated in English. Please make sure this is done accurately in order to provide facts to all viewers. I'm a Filipino so whenever they speak in our language I wonder why it says differently. Just an honest feedback.
Good to know
Unfortunately that is true for most of the translated interviews in this series, speaking as a person who understands russian.
@@arsentiysauce4444 like how is it different than what they are actually saying? Are they hyping it up for views?
@@jadejenkins3215 Yes, a bit, here and there the facts said by prisoners or guards can be omitted or relayed in a harsher, stricter manner, so that it would be closer to the media view.
And here I thought they'd hire a (competent) translator.
17:41 everyone is equal, but I am more equal than others lmao
Pretty sure that's a line from Animal Farm
This statement may be ironic, but this is actually very true. Heck, in North Korea everyone is starving except Kim Jong Un and the his cronies despite being communist and technically not having “class systems.”
@@christianjocson5509
I feel like this dude would do a better job of maintaining North Korea than Kim ever will, he'd even kill to protect his land, quite literally.
I was feeling down, complaining about some stuff which I have no control of...But after watching this, I got up so fast, thanked God and appreciate EVERYTHING I have, including freedom.
The translation's difference with what they are actually saying is quite disturbing for me. But anyways, I hope they'll improve this coz it matters a lot.
I agree. They're trying to make an image with the script they're using that this is complete hell. Even if that means compromising what is originally said by the respondent
Absolutely especially if they ever use these against them and for people like me who don't know the language it seriously changes everything
By
Can you give us examples please?
Indeed! It kinda bothers me because it might make some misinterpretations
person : *talks about friends*
translator : *talks about vegetables*
😂😂😂😂😂
Ang hirap hindi tumawa pag naiintindihan mo
Translation :
it's so hard not to laugh when u understand what they're saying
lol di mo kasi gets.
@@pau1143 iba ang translation ng tagalog to english. Haha typical media what they are doing is akin to bending truth, technically.
@@dovallegacy6695 $$$
Gracias por compartir este documental me encantó ☺️
Te gusta ver cómo es la vida en la cárcel?
This breaks my heart because so much is caused by poverty. They have no choice. Ugh!!! I'm trying not to cry.
That is terrible God bless turn to Jesus
There is always a choice.
Everything is evolved around poverty
@@redgringrumboldt8983 says someone not in poverty
Why are you crying? They commit a crime. Somehow they deserve it.
My Life is going to get easy after watching this trust me😅
Today i think i m truly thankful to god
Thank you for such wonderful documentary. It breaks my heart yet a lot of learnings and realization. All the love from South Cotabato, Philippines 🇵🇭
😆
No human rights exist in your country
@@zaahidhaasaan6048 and that comes from a.... pakistani or arab, by your name?!🤣🤣🤣
Are you the girl in jail in the documentary?
@@zaahidhaasaan6048 how sure are you that there's no human rights here? Have u been here?
This place makes some prisons in the US look like a five-star Hilton… The main issue here is the severe understaffing of the facility, which is leading them to have an almost 100% “hands-off” approach to controlling the people. Setting themselves up for one violent incident after the next with little or no control in daily operations. Moral of the story = Don’t get locked up here or locked up anywhere for that matter
In my country some people wants to live in USA, Switzerland, Norway prisons because our "life" is worst than Us prison
Yeah, without social services/social healthcare things like this end up happening. And then there's people who say the poor shouldn't be supported, that is exactly what creates these kind of situations, and if they receive money that money circulates back into society through spending which creates wealth.
Tbh the community life in this prison is much more wholesome than others if you ignore the horrible living conditions and everything else.
@@erbferdinand8905 lmfao
Jugding only from what it shown in the fottage it can argued that they are better off with the grand old man and his crew running the place. Modest violence to upkeep the discipline and order, but no apparent big drugs, prison gangs or predator issues.
I always taught myself to think twice or more & never make decisions that you might regret in your whole life. It's sad to see this people that they want to change however they dont have a choice but to deal w/ their hopeless waiting. May god bless.
Imagine being in there when you're actually innocent. I'd go crazy.
My goodness! That's insane. That's why, let's be a better person and we need to choose our friends wisely. :')
I would definitely take my life if I get jailed for being innocent.
@0tr3bl1d3 4nr3g Exactly. Being introvert is better.
*Sleep with one eye open then.*
@@Huang_Yisen I don't think not all introverts having a problem about that. Well... I hope you're safe and well.
This is heartbreaking. I hope to pass the 2021 Philippine Bar Exams and provide pro bono legal services to those in need. ❤️
I hope you make a positive difference.
@@NinjaWarriorDude416 Thank you so much!
Lol
May God help you achieve your aims,but I doubt it heavily because your country is one of the most corruption-filled country.
Best wishes.
No more complaints after seeing this documentry 😢God bless them who is innocent ❤
40:00 umm I wouldn’t say sexually assaulting your niece is an “unexpected thing”. Sorry but I have no sympathy for people like that.
Agreed as a young girl myself it makes me sick to hear this
He's nothing but a monster
And his type always try to escape their punishment by relating it to psychological problems.
Thats why our President duterte hates drugs
@@windelblabz7846 Because of pedos?? What sense does that make?
Also I wouldn't be taking any pointers from Duterte, when you have people in jails without trails for DECADES....
It's amazing how many sex offenders say stuff like that. Apparently they do this around the world. I used to work in a US prison and some of the excuses I heard to justify sex offenses were enough to make you heave.
The jail in the video is a sad situation. Everyone should get a hearing promptly, though trials can take awhile. I do not agree with everything the government of my country does, much less the governments of other countries, however, I think we can all agree that sex offenders/molesters should be locked up where they can't hurt any more people.
Much better than CNN, MSNBC, NBC .
Maybe different but many thanks for the high praise. It’s much appreciated
@@FreeDocumentary please update us on junior
And motuk
Nothing like freedom, I appreciate my life ....thank you God the freedom I have the rest is a blessing.
It reminds me of the novel "The Trial" by Kafka because how they all are suffering without a verdict and are in confusion about their future and current situation, like the protagonist of the novel. Its saddening to see how real this all is.
So true, especially the man who keeps getting a trial date only to have it cancelled because the court is too full/crowded/backed up with cases.
I'm not even a translator but I guess I can translate better than what they did here.
Is about a leasson here, not about the Translation
@@guardyan4you yeah. But the thing is, you'll learn more about the prisoners' feelings, needs, sentiments and even wishes if it was actually translated correctly. Cos what they've said were somehow actually deeper than what the translations were saying.
yes
@@guardyan4you your lesson can be skewed if you don't convey the correct translation.
@@JBrander i see you Point and i understand, but you know what i mean if you think deeper, no need to be accurate 100% word by Word writed and spelled exactly
After watching this video I thank God I have my freedom. Thank you Lord.
you are only free because the lord has decided so. you have no control over your own life. praise him.
The good thing about this documentary today is.. I live in a nice rich country I live comfortable my life is great when I watch your shows it's having people live in this country's you make me feel so lucky and I'm glad cuz I am where I am today.. that's why I tell people don't take life for granted you have a great life enjoy every minute of it cuz a lot of people around the world can only wish they lived like us..
As if your country is heaven without criminals lol. This is not a feel-good documentary to feed your ego.
ska punk OI! alternative living don't worry you will have a ruined life soon
@@ciararespect4296 don't be jealous no I won't since I was born I'm now 50 years old my lights being perfect all the time it's going to continue I am very very lucky hell yeah don't be jealous...😜😜😜😜😜😜
@@skapunkoialternativeliving6522 feeling fortunate is one thing. To gloat and bask in it is another. Don't tempt Karma. These documentaries are to expose and inform, and hopefully garner support for change.
