- To many, Bali’s Kerobokan jail is a place of creepy fascination, a repository of misery in an island playground. But what’s it really like in there?
For the first time a TV crew has obtained virtually unrestricted access to all corners of Kerobokan’s men’s prison. The Foreign Correspondent team spend a week roaming the jail, filming and interviewing prisoners and guards to capture life inside.
"Yeah, this is my little piece of paradise" - Bali Nine member Matthew Norman.

Man, this prison is a rehabilitation camp. Really fascinated by the way people with bad pasts are changing for a better future. Hope humanity grows.
For the foreigner it does 😋
Yeah, a rehabilitation camp... but you can never get fully rehabilitated, that's why you need to spend your whole life there.
Our prisons should be the same way. Sadly in the US they’re being built by corporations for profit, and in order to make money they need inmates and they need them to stay… when you have that kind of a system the inmate doesn’t stand a chance from the moment they enter the court room… judges are being dragged into longer sentences and sentences for those who would never see the inside of a prison before… we’re letting down inmates and only creating better criminals thereby putting the public at risk of coming into contact with them.
@@Tanokopsthe Indonesians also being treated the same way in there
His father is amazing. I literally have no one in my family who would ever do that for me. No one would move to the country I'm imprisoned in just to frequently see me. His father truly loves him.
Lenny Online me too
My mother and father heard an untrue rumor about me, I've never been in trouble in my life, always been a respected leader wherever I am, own many businesses, very successful man, and a nice and caring person toward even strangers. But my parents after hearing this untrue rumor, and after me telling them the absurdity of the claim, declared me dead and never spoke to me every again when I was 40 years old. So I am assuming, if I actually ever did anything, they wouldn't come see me, when they threw me away over an untrue rumor. YES, this man has a wonderful and loving father. He is Blessed, not all can say that as you have stressed. Blessings to you Omar.

He said the prisoners as "warga binaan" which in english it's actually translated as "person in care" rather than "prisoner"
It may looks like a subtle gesture but as we can see compared to almost every prison in this world, the result is spot on.
ya bukan subtle gesture sih mas, sejak jaman menteri kehakiman sahardjo tahun 1962 semua istilah istilah terkait dgn penjara diperhalus semua. termasuk juga itu. jadinya itu bukan gestur tapi kewajiban dia utk menyebut orang orang di video ini sebagai warga binaan alih-alih napi.
This is what prison should be. These men are actually being rehabilitated and trying to better themselves. Of course not everyone will take advantage of this but for the most part they seem like they're trying their best and making the best out of a bad situation. There's no point being violent and miserable especially when you're all in it together.
If Bali prisoner feels uncomfortable with their situation right now in Bali prison, I think guard have to show them a documentary video about Madagascar prison, their mindset will be changed and suddenly they feel like living in a resort in Bali prison.
Their eyes will tear blood from what they will see lol
Ya of course
Lol
They will gonna consider it a vacation 😂😂😂 and gonna live for long time here😂
or they should show the prisoners the film of that prison in deep russia called the black dolphin ....with prisoners that locked up 23 hours per day in their cells and 1 hour per day walking in a small cage - no more - and they are knowing that they will never be free again. This bali prison has more dignity and responsebilities and things to do for the prisoners there. What I do not understand ist why people risk prison in other countries by drug dealing etc - if they would have been caught in countries like saudi arabia ....they would not have faced prison - they would have faces the sword.....
IDK but seeing this episode I feel very calm and peaceful.. All the prisoners have very positive and humble attitude.. I have seen people with freedom more depressed, stressed out.. with health and mental problems, there are neighbors fighting with each other, there are angers, jealousy, hatred,..etc.. I have seen suffering far worse outside jail than in this jail.!!!..In this prison prisoners are more closer to God, community, brotherhood, skills,.. songs, sports, some sort of very soothing vibrant...I am glad humanity still exist in some prison...!!
Yesss i really love their positivity
Ikr this feels like a resort
Ofc people are gonna be more positive in front of a camera.
That's what you call the unconditional love from his dad! He left Australia just to be close to his son!! God bless you brother!
Nah man he possessed heroine to export and then supply and ruin lives and torture families of those affected and for this reason alone he deserves life in prison
"I am always hungry" 20:05 the QnA session broke my heart.
You could see Matthew put up a brave smile as he actually speaks the truth and everyone laughs.
This prison is actually not that bad, trust me you don't want to be in African or South American prisons

@@lexxusify yess
I was in Singapore prison back in 2003 and it was really hell..once I got caught playing scrabble during master check and I spent 7 days tied by wrist and ankles to the walls of 2x2 cell in the blistering heat since the cell blocks were made out of metal and the sun would hit on it all afternoon..sometime the temperature would get so hot that when the warden opened the door you would see smoke coming out of the cell..we slept on the floor and we were sometime up to 32 inmates in 20 m2 cell..
@Green Fire jeepers you must be one tough character to have survived.
@@riverrazors7915 for playing scrabble ????
Matthew dad moved to Bali just for his son. Wow the fatherly love is incredible. And Chen has passion for aviation but he is stuck in the prison. That is sad. But at least he can see the open sky and keep dreaming.
this prison looks like a University campus. Too nice for a prison, still great to see how kind, openhearted and humane these Indonesians are. Really great!
I think prisons in Germany or Switzerland are nice. Not this

This is 'infamous prison'??? I was a refugee from the Soviet Union, this is luxury hotel compared to our refugee camp where I spent one and half years. We had one shower and about 10 toilette for 300 people (men and women together), shared one room with 11 other people. These people have a very lucky life!
When you see people in this situation its brings home the reality of how precious your life is, its time I stop taking my own freedom for granted and wasting my time, its time to do something.
@911 Calls still no pussy tho...
It may be overcrowded, but it is still a hundred times better and more humane than many other prisons.
At 28:50, the governor of the prison used such as sweet words "warga binaan" for Matthew, which means "citizen to be educated". He did not use the word "tawanan" which literally translates to prisoner.

This prison seems like a paradise compared to American prisons
@Jason Adams yep
Many state prisons in USA are very bad, and some Fed prisons are bad, but usually better than state prisons from what has been reported from prisoners themselves. There are many killings and serious injuries and isolation in US prisons. Some prisoners are completely isolated for years and decades. The jails in various local areas can be very bad as well.
Yes, this prison seems humane.
The way most prisoners are treated is so cruel that it is a stain on civilisation.
Redemption and reform should be the aim of prison, not brutalisation and gangs.
*ITS PARADISE BECAUSE THE INMATES ARE THERE FOR NOTHING*
Which makes them non typical criminals.
They're normal people who got imprisoned for stuff like a personal small amount steroids. Like WTF
The prison in Iceland is like a vacation you can't escape lol it's a total joke, i've been there for a few months couple of years ago, i loved my stay, came out refreshed and alot healthier than when i first arrived there - so i could party even harder and for 1 or 2 extra days ^^
Russian writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky had said "The degree of civilisation in a society is revealed by entering its prisons", Indonesia seems more civilized then some of the first world nations.
...Until you realize that people are wasting away for their entire lives because they used a teeny amount of a mind altering substance to escape their pain
I guess you missed the part where they shot 2 men to death by firing squad for a non violent drug offense. That destroys your entire argument.

This is a heavenly prison compared to other countries .seems like inmates friendly and calm. Clean environment
My girlfriend is Brazilian, and she told me that this looks like heaven in comparison with some prisons in Brazil. It isn't controlled by drug lords and I can see some respect between inmates and guards, it doesn't look too overcrowded and there are no signs of gang related murders. I mean... this is looks way, way better than some prisons in Africa and South America
because we put humanity above the criminal

This is sad but heart warming at the same time. I’m glad they are being so productive in prison . Also, good to see Indonesian governments has provided humane conditions and a beautiful garden for its criminals .
Got locked up once. That single cell no matter what anyone say can F w/mind. Your mind goes in another world and think about the craziest things. Once I got out. I studied my ass off, got my GED and when that certification came. I applied for community college. My life didnt start til I was 23. Tough life is what makes you a stronger person. Good luck to all that's willing to change and hope you give your second chance a better beggining.
Bro that whole message is dumb as shit
Their culture makes the difference. Also, not being treated like caged animals, they don’t act like caged animals. How fascinating.
most of them in this prison got high level of humanity,, so many life lesson from this video you got our respect dear brothers
The U.S. could learn a thing or 10 from this prison system. It's not perfect by any means but they seem to be treated like humans, shown respect and dignity, kept active and given opportunities to improve themselves.
All of the inmates look so damn friendly lol.
Inmates don’t deserve to be treated humanely
The USA is a privatized system. They get money for each head and recidivism means the cash keeps coming back.

the thing is when your only prison sentence is in this kind of prison im guessing its still hell for you. in the end youre not with your family and not free to do what ever you want
I saw a lot of sadness and regret in Matthew’s and Chen’s eyes. Facing life in prison is tough.
Tough? Eat good food for free, has comfy bad and some books inside.. And you still think that's tough?
@@-------------------13 compared to the horrendous prison conditions in Madagascar for example. I’d say this prison in Bali is a lot more sanitary and “comfortable”
However They tried to smuggle WEED out of Bali. Not cocaine, meth, heroin, opioids.
I understand every country has their own rules and laws. They did break the law.
However LIFE in prison for WEED is a very harsh penalty.
FREEDOM is priceless.
@@MStarr-dp8fc But they don't know how to appreciate their freedom by using and smuggling drugs in Asia.
They know the law is so strict and they break it.
You don't know how much trouble they get into when they're high. There are so many cases in Indonesia because of drugs.
@@-------------------13 Now you’re onto another topic.
First you went from the topic of them eating good for free, has comfy books inside….
I’m talking about the Bali 9 and their case. They were caught. guilty for attempting to smuggle WEED. Understand now?
I know for a fact that people who are high on OTHER drugs besides MARIJUANA
Get into lots of trouble. And commit terrible crime.
I know weed is illegal especially in Indonesia. However please tell me what crimes people commit while high on weed??
Again….I am NOT excusing what they did.
In every foreign jail documentary I see comments about Madagascar. That jail had given us all PTSD
The scariest jail I ever watched.
@@alvinaditya3684 more of disgusting cell than scary.
I was just telling a couple of friends about the worst prison in the world being in Antananarivo, and they were shocked beyond.
Madagascar? Really?
I have to watch it next I guess.
"Alright time to roll over and spoon the next sweatiest,smelly person near you in 95 degree heat"
That would be the ultimate torture to me, I believe I would just take gunshots while climbing the fence instead of that.
I think, what maybe some CZcams users must understand...if you like a documentary, it doesn't mean you agree with the people, situation or what happens in the documentary or what they are reporting of, it is just to show, you like the quality of the documentation and like the work of the makers/producers and journalists...
and other times we'll downvote out of political beliefs.

That's right, this video suddenly appears in my recommendation
I feel sorry for the guys.
Don't do drugs in Bali. I lived there a few years and learnt many things.
Ask yourself, is a joint really worth one year of your life? Not to mention other drugs.
If you can't leave a few days or weeks without drugs, then Bali is not your place to visit.
I wouldn't want to be locked up anywhere, but this is one of the best prison situations I've ever seen.
Yea, never seen people so friendly to each other in prison like this before :O
It looks like summer camp in paradise
Have you seen the UK they are like 3 star hotels
yeah prison in scandinavian although very comfortable, the people are very anti social
I love it that they’re allowed to be with their families once every month. That’s nice
Look at the venezuela prison, where they can mutilate another inmate without the security realise, and then eat them raw, that's both crazy and sad
Although they might only be letting us see what they want us to see, this prison looks like a paradise compared to others I’ve seen here on CZcams
After watching the Madagascar prison documentary , this looks like burj khalifa
More like prison heaven
Hahahah, do you kno prisons for corruptor in Indonesia like hotel five star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😂
Ahhh God bless Mathew's Father... Heart breaking seeing him putting a brave face and hiding the pain... Unconditional love.. That not everybody has.. :(((
So true. He is a loving father. I wish I had one of those
That's an awesome father that moved that far away to live with his son! That's something like my father would do for me! Amazing family and great support that he has! He is his father's world and you can see it in Dad's eyes when he sees his son every time he goes to visit! That's an awesome American Dad that Bali 9 member has. I would do the same if that happened to a parent or family member of mine, though! No doubt! I would be close to them where I lived!
I've noticed something: in places like the EU and Indonesia where they treat the prisoners like actual human beings and give them the appropriate respect, they are MUCH better behaved, don't harbor much (or any) grudge towards "the system", and in general appear to actually become rehabilitated towards the end of their sentence. This is independent of prison conditions since clearly Kerobokan prison is no 5* hotel compared to EU prisons, yet all the inmates seem to have mutual respect for each other and the guards and rules in general.
The US could really stand to learn something from all this.
That is the difference between a rehabilitation philosophy and a recidivist punishment mentality.
yes but they also are not an aggressive race of people and have a different mindset to westerners in general. Do this in western prisons and they would more than likely take advantage of the situation because this is western aggressive culture and in most cases cannot be trusted
Trump want to reform us prison but i dont think it gonna happen anytime soon bcs hes not in office now
Indonesians are truly beautifully natured people.
I just want to give Mathew a hug😩 I mean he gets life sentence since he's 19 and stay there. He's already turned into a new leaf.
18*
He can rot he didn’t care before he got caught

The most freeiest prettiest prison ive seen on CZcams
I cant believe we all watching this together now.. 😂😂 same day
That's a very interesting approach Indonesia is taking. I've rarely seen so much sadness but love at the same time in one video. What a difference to US prisons. Matt should be credited with his efforts of teaching others and run the production facility.
why does it look like that is the most chilled out laid back prison on earth
This place looks like paradise to me.. Not even us prisoners get treated so good.. Compared to Madagascar this place is a cake walk.. The damn guards are even unharmed. Wow
He's a got good dad, moving countries to be near his son.
Just watched world's toughest prisons, Madagascar and I must say you guys have no idea, how good you have it, no idea...
Yeah😅
If this jail is bad, guess you haven’t seen jails in Madagascar, Phillipine, Thailand, and the tent city.
Tent city isn't that bad. Made it look way worse then the reality. Jail isn't suppose to be comfortable. Tent city you get three meals and a cot. Clean running water. Proper toilets not just a whole in the floor. They still get the store showers ability to work out, study etc.

This prison should be an example for others...prisoners get to go to the gym, spend time in the sun and learn to work with their hands. They're not free but they're not caged animals either. This is how you do rehabilitation. Well done Bali!
I think you need to read the book "Hotel K"... This is not a nice place to be...
This is Indonesian prison, not just Bali
Interesting to see how the prisoners respects that guard because he is a kind person
Wow, hats off to his father for moving to be closer to his son.
It's crazy prisoners of different cultures, ethnicity and religions get along very well in prison, but normal people outside of prison kill each other because of ethnicity, religion or culture. This world is a mess.
Finally, a prison with a no guns sign.
Totally blown away by the insight this vid has given me about the humanity n compassion shown in the Bali prison ... thx guyz 😎
Matthew makes me sad...you can see in his eyes that he is very remorseful ..as for his father moving to Bali just to be able to see his son, brought tears to my eyes..a fathers love very unbreakable, regardless of what he has done.
exactly what I wished to comment.Now I don't have to.:)

Not exactly the nicest but it's not bad either
You think prison isn't bad??, you don't know the story about fellow prisoners being tortured by other prisoners.
That poor guy committed a crime to raise money to fly because it made him feel free.
That’s some bastard irony.
The worst irony is the heroin addict who has lost everything and withdrawing, feeling like death walking then offered an chance o have more heroin than he has ever seen, He takes the risk and is caught. He cleans himself up over the next decade and see how nice life can be as he never experienced life without heroin as an adult before, The after he appreciated his life, he is rewarded with the ironic bullet. When he committed the crime, death would have been a reprieve but when he was standing there anticipating the coming bullet, i am sure he smiles at the irony, just before shedding a tear and then his grey matter
The part with the children visiting broke my heart.They are the ones truly suffering. 😞
Compared to Madagascar this is a five star resort!!!
After seeing so many documentaries. The best prison documented.
Wow don’t treat criminals like animals but people who made mistakes. And they actually act like humans. Amazing concept.
So what is so "infamous" about this prison? It looks like a holiday resort.

A journalist named Kathryn Bonella who visited Kerobokan frequently, wrote a book about it.
She spoke with guards, both female & male prisoners and saw the corruption within the prison which she writes in her book “Hotel Kerobokan”. Its an interesting read and the prison is nothing like they have portrayed here
Been there, done that. I was the first American to get a death sentence in Indonesia and spent just shy of 12 years on death row there on a first time drug conviction. What a crap-hole situation to be in. Frank Amado is the name in case you want to Google to verify my statement.

So many things missed in translation here, life sentence here means the amount of their age. (Indonesian weird laws)
So if they got convicted when they are 18 years old means they will be in prison for 18 years.
The difference is they can't get their jail time reduced.
I still don't know where this sentence "they will die in prison" came from. They won't die of old age there. By the time they got released they will be 36 years old.
Roy K Ald oh really? I learnt something new today. Didnt know that.. tks

@@cerealkiller1052 Nope, that's not how it works mate... I am actually Indonesian law practitioner, let me tell you in detail.
Indonesian law doesn't allow sentence more than 20 years so life sentence can mean eighteen years to twenty years because KUHP twelve article one already said this.
The only maximum special case is 25 years and thats obsolete laws came from revolutionary era ( urgh I worded this one kinda wrong its not actually revolutionary era but the era under Sukarno and Suharto).
