Bolivia is the second poorest country in South America. The prison in San Pedro, La Paz, Bolivia is home to approximately 2-3,000 people. Inside the prison, there are no police or jail guards to control peace and order. The inmates are on their own. Inmates establish their own hierarchy. The top inmates who control inside the prison identify themselves as Delgados. They act like the chief of all inmates. Everybody is under their rules. Due to poverty, the wives and children of convicts even live together with them inside the prison compound. Family members who were left outside with no means of living had to live together with the inmates in prison. That somehow saves them from paying rent outside. Drugs inside the prison are everywhere. There are riots and violence going on inside. Some inmates disappear without a trace. No one even cared. Even the police had no idea what's going on inside. It's dangerous and one of the toughest prisons in the world.
