We often hear complaints that American prisons are too laid back. We allow our prisoners too many entertainment opportunities such as television, concerts, games, and sports.

Modern prisons usually have gymnasiums, outside exercise facilities, libraries, television rooms, chapels, infirmaries and cafeterias. Prisoners usually have opportunities to upgrade their education through university courses or learning a variety of trades.

They may also receive counseling in such areas as budgeting, anger management and spirituality. They may be able to work within the prison in laundries and cafeterias or on contracts the prison makes with outside companies and organizations.

Well we wanted to show you some crazy yard activity from the prisons in the Philippines.

We should warn you that Asian prisons are no joking matter and are some of the most dangerous and violent prisons around. Some may find this footage to be disturbing.
