Is there gangs, drugs *** rapings in the UK prisons? Murders? Or is it more relaxed and the people dont get into trouble?

Well, Europe in general does not have the kind of Organized Crime that America has. Latin gangs have really upped the ante in American jails. Mexican and Colombian gangs use submarines to smuggle drugs for God sakes. Nearly 4000, yes 4000, people have been murdered in Mexico JUST THIS YEAR. The organized crime in North America is something that is epic in its magnitude. I dont think prisoners are treated any better or any worse it is just that prisoners in the USA are coming from very powerful organizations that are always competing for power--and the power involved is on a massive scale.

I watched a programme a few nights ago in which Louis Theroux filmed at a prison in the USA. The cells were tiny with bars on the front. The prisoners were locked up for 23 hours per day. Compare that with our holiday camp prisons and the truth is very clear.

The USA prison system is much tougher than the UK 1.
UK prisons are more like holiday camps.
Yes UK prisoners get treated much better.

We all come from out of Africa has already been proven false people. By the entire Orient, and Eastern Europe. Evidence included. The person (if you can even call it that?) they found in Africa is a 3 foot primate with ONE DNA marker the same as all of us. Color of skin UNKNOWN. It may have even been covered in hair for all they know. This semi-myth has been perpetuated to push the lie that race is a lie. We don't even all come from the same primates if you believe in evolution!

British people do not advocate rape or tolerate it in prison like their American counterparts, if a man was to rape another man in prison in the UK the prison population would try to get the rapist and the guards would arrest him and have to remove him unlike the yanks who some how find it normal and , guards who tell prisoners that it will happen to them, we are not sick over here.

Yeah, the British prison system is a bit of a joke, probably more comparable to summer camp ;)
