When you think about prison, I bet most of you imagine endless iron bars, dark hallways, grim food, and an overwhelming sense of despair.

But surprisingly, not all prisons around the world are the same.

While some serve stomach-churning meals, others have a tasty and healthy-looking menu,

and where some prisons crams inmates into every available inch of space, some have private

cells that look more like a hotel. With that, let's explore what some of the worst and best

prisons around the world really look like.

You're listening. You're listening. You're listening. You're be amazed. Around the world, more than a staggering 10.74 million people are currently incarcerated.

That's about the same amount of people that make up the entire population of the Czech Republic.

And with a figure that high, it's hardly surprising to learn that

many prisons are bursting at the seams with convicted criminals. Although there are some that are

With over 617 inmates for every 100,000 people in its population, the country boasts one of

the largest prison population percentages in the world.

It comes from the severe and successful crackdown that the country imposed on gang violence.

Although, looking at their cramped prison conditions, it's not really worth bragging about.

The country has the capacity to house just over 18,000 criminals,

but the shocking system currently holds more than 38,000 inmates. At over double capacity, seriously unsanitary conditions, and unbearable heat claim the lives of many inmates.

Though even El Salvador's prisons pale in comparison to Manila City Jail, famously known as the most crowded jail in the world,
