Crime journalist Paul Connolly spends a week immersed inside one of the world’s most dangerous prisons- Danli Jail, Honduras, where the 700 inmates are in charge, controlled by a convicted murderer and his armed henchmen. During his stay he meets extraordinary characters – from Henry the body-building car thief and riot leader to Ventura the knife-wielding killer, who cooks for the prison – and he discovers how a jail functions when normal rules are turned on their head.
