  • Behind Bars - Episode 5: Sofia Central Prison, Bulgaria | Prison Documentary
    Behind Bars - Episode - Tent City Jail, Phoenix, Arizona, US: • Behind Bars: The World...
    With a crumbling foundation more than fit for demolition, the conditions in Sofia Central prison is inhospitable for anyone, including criminals. However, with multiple prisoner cells, bunks stacked 3 stories high and horrid isolation cells, prisoners live idly behind bars for 23 hours a day.
    The series accompanies guards on their daily routines: those who struggle to maintain law and order and those who abuse their powers mercilessly. But above all, each episode allows the viewer to see the world from the prisoner’s point of view: the newcomer spending his first terrifying night locked up. Felons who live for the day when their fate will be decided: will it be life behind bars? A worse fate? Foreigners, far away from home, languishing away under the most horrendous conditions. And mothers who have to raise their children in the shadow of prison bars.

    Hi from Bulgaria. Jock Palfreeman was released in 2019. I think he worked for inmate rights, he learned Bulgarian perfectly and as I believe he studied law during the time he served. Regarding the verdict i am not sure what he says is true, because there's a video tape of the incident and it's obvious that he stabbed the guy approaching from his back. The victim was a law student and son of prominent Bulgarian prosecutor. Palfreeman has similar stories in his past - stabbing a guy in Australia - case went without consequences due to lack of evidence. I personally don't know what to think about him - i am admired that he learned Bulgarian and he was helpful for the society working for human rights.
    Regarding the prison - many years ago i was renting an apartment in one of the 4 high blocks near the prison - i could see the backyard from my terrace. I know that if one has money he's doing easy time - they usually have cellphones, they have TV, hotpot for cooking & other comfortable devices; relatives bring food and they're fine. They do have electricity but they have no heat and during the winter can be very cold.
    Years ago i knew someone who was in the prison and he was quite often online on Facebook, even posting photos.
    So if one has money and connections then he's okay.
    What they say about guards is true - they really beat the arrestees and inmates. I mean Bulgarian policemen can be really tough. You never know. In the past beating was much more. There were cases in the past when police beat to death an inmate. I don't think is as bad anymore. In general public trust and evaluation of the police is quite low. However things are slowly improving.

    when you watch one of these shows and you're from one of these countries, you start to realize how the reporters skew the whole rhetoric so as not to interfere with the message they're trying to send across, the guard used the inmate's first name and told him to go back inside, they didn't translate it like that

    Every prison in this series is a cake walk compared to Madagascar. I've never seen anyone treated like that in my life. Beds? What's that? Sheets and pillows? Where? Water to bathe with? No where in sight. It really is the absolute worse in the world hands down. And everyone of them is WAITING FOR A TRIAL DATE, often times years at a time!!

During the day they all beg, but they live luxury life. They are rich and live much better life than do local people. Begging is their historical job.

    You've got to love these American 'Documentaries' where they repeat the same inane factual tid bits 4-5 times but ultimately have very little substance.

    that dude with the vest and the semishortlong black hair who grabs a thing and is shown in the same clip over and over again between sequences had better be the biggest criminal mastermind i've ever seen by the time they show him

    People that say its inhumane threatment clearly doesnt understant the world they live in. Prisons are supposed to make you regret every decision which lead you in there not to make your life better. How would you feel if your family murderer lives a happy hotel like lifestyle while you suffer from the loss instead of rotting in the cell and being actually punished for his crimes instead of being rewarded for them.

    The uk should do some foreign exchange prisoner programmes -it would help the uk’s soft prison system 😊

      If our prisons were like this I bet crime would drop very quickly

    In fayette county, Ohio was one the second oldest jail in the state, they just tore it down on July of 2021 after building a new one, it looked a lot nicer then this 100 year old prison even though the jail was over 140 years old

    I’m so late to the viewing! I watched a few prison episodes and due to the “Madagascar “ comments I ended up looking that episode up and watching it. All I can say is “DAMN Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!!”
