Top 10 Most Violent Prisons in the World

5. La Sante Prison

Paris, France is the home of La Sante Prison. The prison is known as such a brutal place that many prisoners have taken their own lives over serving their sentence there. The prisoners swallow rat poison, forks and even drain cleaners to put an end to their lives. More than 100 prisoners each year are reported to have committed suicide. Prisoners are said to cram clothes into the crack of their cells to prevent rats to enter.  The inmates are locked in for 23 hours a day and with temperatures reaching well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, many of them are driven mad by the heat and commit suicide.
