Punta Coco: The Panamanian Alcatraz. Prisoners sent here given death sentence.

Many Panamanian prisons have been criticised for their inhumane conditions, but Punta Cana has taken it to new levels: Disclaimer: violent and graphic imagery. Punta Coco has been criticised by many an an inhumane place to house prisoners, from their unnecessary use of solitary confinement, to overcrowding and complete disregard for basic dignity for inmates. The prison itself is located off the coast of Panama, much in the way Alcatraz is. There is now proof of the everyday

Desperate cry for help from fellow inmate, as 72 year old war veteran left to starve to death.

In the video above are the stark images of Johnny Ray Gilbert, 72 year old war veteran from North Carolina, USA. The voice in the video is that of a fellow inmate from the UK pleading for help from the Panamanian Human Rights Authorities and the American Embassy who, as yet have failed to take any action against these atrocities. Clearly in the video Johnny is malnourished, his feet and lower legs are swollen and he is unresponsive. This was filmed mere minutes after he had b

We only have half an hour sex session my dear, did you bring in the Viagra!

Below is a video taken from the rear of Building 6 overlooking Building 8, the conjugal entrance. This is where custodial would escort call-girls to ply their trade. Whilst waiting, the custodial would play poker for the hour with other inmates in Building 6 to kill time until the humping had finished. Then the custodial, the inmates, and the prostitutes would go their separate ways. The mattresses were then re-used an hour later by other couples. The mattresses took a massiv

Prostitutes Human Rights Violated By Corrupt Police

Prostitution in Panama is legal and regulated. Prostitutes are required to register and carry identification cards. However, the majority of prostitutes are not registered. 2,650 sex workers were registered with the government, but there was no accurate information regarding the total number of persons practising prostitution in the country. Some estimate put the number of unregistered prostitutes at 4,000. The main area of prostitution in Panama City is El Cangrejo. Street

Visitors coming to visit inmates in La Joya prison Panamá

Many visitors of all ages who came to see loved ones at La Joya facility on a bi-weekly basis were subjected to extremely invasive searches, ranging from a pat-down to a total strip-search, including a full inspection of both passages. This was a totally degrading experience for all, especially for Indian women, some of who were pregnant. During most visits, Indians were racially profiled and segregated from the rest of the crowd for extra screening. This type of racially mot

To hell with health & safety, let all the international inmates die!

Fire & Safety With this many people in a confined space, you would think that the Panamanian Fire Marshal would order a Fire drill and for people to be familiar with their meeting points in case of an emergency ever happened, as with any public building, it is the law that covers health and safety issues in public areas. As you can see from all my other exhibits, Panama flaunts every law to the maximum, and is not held accountable to any international body at all until now

International Prisoners forced to construct make-shift beds using discarded timber and rice sacks!

Shown below: Beds precariously perched on top of cells below, overlooking the gymnasium area. In the evenings, this area was turned into a sleeping area to accommodate 100 inmates. These were the less fortunate ones who did not have enough money to buy a bed—cell bunks cost $300 - $1,000. The picture above was taken from Ambassador Arthur Porter’s living quarters, located in the attic space of Building 6. This area holds more than 300 plus people; it has no lights or toilets.

Every wheelbarrow has the building block number on it. What if your son, or father were to die in La Joya then be given this degrading send off! Shame on you Panama. Panama is given millions of dollars in aide specifically for prisons, yet Panama will not buy a wheelchair, or gurney. #Panamá #Torture #PanamáGovernment #RedCross #LaJoyaprisonPanamá #PresidentVarela #Corruption

Panama Will Use "Mobile Cells" (Shipping Containers) To Ease Prison Overcrowding.

He said they would also be
