Ranking number 1 on our list, Carandiru Penitentiary in Brazil is the most violent prisons in the world.

5. Tadmor Military Prison
Located in Palmyra, Syria desert, the prison is infamously called as “the kingdom of death and madness”. Prisoners were often dragged to death, killed with axes and cut into pieces.
