4. China
Up next on our list of countries with the worst jails and prisons in the world we have China, that is well known for having a very large population, and we can just imagine how overcrowded prison and jails in China are. Unfortunately, this is often not the biggest issue of China’s prisons and jails. For those of you who are not familiar with criminal activities in China, you can be arrested even for practicing Falun Gong, a type of spiritual meditation. Mr. Jintao Liu was kept and tortured in various labor camps and detention centers. He had pins pushed into his nails, was electroshocked, raped, sleep deprived and spent one year in the isolation cell. He explained how prisoners are constantly humiliated, beaten and forced to eat off the floor. His story is only one story of those who survived the hell of being imprisoned in some of the worst prisons in the world that are located in China.
