9. Diyarbakır Prison, Turkey

Have you ever seen Midnight Express, a 70s movie about American caught in Turkey trying to smuggle drugs out of the country, and sent to prison? It was that Diyarbakır Prison served as an inspiration for the movie. The Turkish government sends Kurdish prisoners to Diyarbakır, and the security measures are incredible.  Former prisoners said that the guard’s favorite torture method was falaka, beating victim’s feet soles with wooden bats.
