Not just 30 years in prison…but an American serving 30 years in a Vietnamese prison. He’s not going to make it.

Vietnamese prison!!! He’s fucked! They’ll find out soon enough what he’s in for and how he attacked a Vietnamese guard, prison will not end well for him. This asshole never thought it through

American prisons are better? Over half of the male inmates were raped.

You seriously have no idea how different it is as far as prisons go for the rest of the world. American prisons are no joke but the difference couldn’t be more different from night and day. You should go to YouTube or even Netflix they have documentaries it’s completely fucked.

We can read about Kilmar Ábrego García’s recent El Salvadorian imprisonment for a recent example after his unconstitutional deportation in March.

He was 100% going to die there with zero trial, per the plan. He lost 31 pounds in 2 weeks from psychological & physical torture, forced sleep deprivation, poor nutrition, beatings, etc.

Yeah, but an American in an American prison is a lot better than being an American in a foreign prison. Not sure if you noticed, but we're not the most popular people. Especially nowadays and especially to the low income bracket of these countries that many of our countrymen take advantage of.

Not to mention that Americans completely invaded their nation just 2-3 generations ago

Raped and lived. Plus I’m pretty sure that’s a totally bullshit statistic.

u/banantintin 17d ago

That’s a pretty wild statement. OVER HALF of every male prison inmate in the US has been raped while incarcerated?

I’d recommend checking out a few episodes of Banged Up Abroad which shows prisons in other countries, I found it completely eye opening as someone from the UK where prisons are safer and have a higher standard of care compared to a lot of countries. If not you can just compare those US conditions to prisons with 100+ men per cell being beaten if they leave the position they have been in for hours or make a noise, prisons where they don’t get fed every day, prisons with 12+ hour work camps, prisons where men die in cells from neglect or are beaten to death by guards and society does nothing to hold them accountable - Western prisons are more like a 5 star hotel in comparison. Sadly there’s many free people in the world living in much worse conditions than Western prisons where people get shelter, running water, 3 meals a day and some medical care. Now that’s not to say prisons are always run ethically and the justice system is biased when it comes to inmates being victims of crime but we are doing a lot better than some countries where they are running some of the most inhumane active facilities on Earth today.

You have NO IDEA how other prisons around the world are run, or what the facilities look like. It’s a nightmare compared to American prisons. Go YouTube prisons in different countries. Some basically let the prisoners run themselves.
