  • Behind Bars Season 2 Episode 7: La Mesa - A Mexican prison just over the US border. | Prison Documentary
    Behind Bars - Episode - Urso Branco, Brazil: • Behind Bars: Urso Bran...
    The inmates? Drug traffickers, rapists, cartel killers. They have tough times ahead. They hardly get to leave their cells. They sleep, eat, pee, all in a very confined space. Two square meters each - for up to eight inmates.
    La Mesa is ruled with an iron fist - and for good reason. Its story is infamous. Cartel bosses used to rule this place which was full of drugs, prostitution and violence. Another bleak chapter followed - times of riots and fatalities. Nowadays, La Mesa is carefully controlled. Inmates are separated and locked away.
    Like cartel killer Francisco Javier Villa Padilla, sentenced for murdering police officers. After killing his victims, he hung their bodies from a bridge. He has been in La Mesa for seven years. Every day, he trains in his tiny cell. He knows that when he gets out, killers will be after him.
    The American Taylor Elliott Howard was sentenced for car theft and possession of a weapon. He shares a cell with six fellow countrymen. Americans in a Mexican prison? Treated like scum. Every day, Taylor hopes to somehow survive the next nine years. And rustle up some money. In La Mesa, inmates have to pay for everything - even toilet paper.
    In charge of the place? Director Cesar Daniel Acevedo. La Mesa is the sixth Mexican prison he has tried to sort out. Every day he does everything to ensure that the inmates don’t gain control of La Mesa again.

      Oh my yes I watched that one. I've never seen people treated so bad. I know they are in prison but it was so very sad. No reason for them to be treated so bad. And that guy only needed 192.00 to get out and he didn't have the money. I would have paid that for him.

    Hard to explain, but I always thought a prison in the middle of nowhere would be the worst punishment, but a prison in the middle of a busy city block has got to be even worse. You would be able to hear the city and the people every day and night. The constant sound of freedom and regular life is always so close, and a constant reminder of the life you're missing.

Many Mexican s would also want to learn English, they can make money off tourists legally if they can speak English. There are also many words in English and Spanish that are the same. I learned with one guy in a restaurant in Mexico. I picked up a plate and pointed at it he said "plato" I then said "plate" we continued doing this with everything in the restaurant. I would definitely being doing this with every little thing in that cell. Also in Spanish there are words that are the same or very similar to English.

    8:03 The translator sucks... The inmate said that the food was "too greasy, tasteless and very little" and the dude went with "the food is bad, unhygienic and freaking hot" looool... and seconds before the guy says "I couldn't even sit on the toilet as you could catch an infection or stuff like that" translator goes with "I had a foot infection in the past" wtf

    It seems like they have access to books. The first thing I would do as an English speaker is to request some Spanish learning books and get a grasp on the language. You've got 9 years. You should be able to get a handle on conversational spanish.

      Jose Jimenez Chinese prison AKA the slave labor camp, people go there end up dying not by the millions or tens of millions but rather hundreds of millions. During the cultural revolutionary movement from the 60's to the 70's, over 200 millions political prisoners were sent to labor camp for simply accused of being adaptive towards capitalism over communism, over 100 millions died in the prison for doing excessive labors. I think when it comes to inhumanity, there is no continent of country had it worse than Asia, especially China. Remember, North Korea is a junior to China, they learned their political terrorism from the Chinese communist government. They killed hundreds of million people and people still don't know it because they are still in power today. These prisoners at least get to live at the end of the day.
