A South American prison has been abandoned by guards and is now run by criminals who dish out their own justice.<\/p>\n
San Pedro Prison is the biggest in Bolivia\u2019s main city, La Paz and holds approximately 3,000 dangerous inmates.<\/p>\n
In some cases, the criminal's families also live inside the prison, as it is rumoured their partners and children are safer inside than on the streets.<\/p>\n

Those inside the prison are largely left to their own devices and have developed their own \u2018council\u2019 who make the rules \u2013 including dishing out their own punishments.<\/p>\n
In 2013 it was reported that a 12-year-old girl fell pregnant to a group of men inside the prison.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rapists and child molesters are allegedly treated with a brutal zero-tolerance policy \u2013 with stabbing being the most common punishment.<\/p>\n
According to author Rusty Young, when a sex offender arrives in the prison, a lynch mob forms and carries him through the corridor.<\/p>\n
The offender can be electrocuted, stabbed or beaten to death.<\/p>\n
However, the jail also has a terrifying swimming pool which has been used in several executions where inmates band together to drowning offenders.<\/p>\n

Young bribed his way into the jail and lived there for four months before publishing his book \u2018Marching Powder\u2019 which followed the story of inmate Thomas McFadden \u2013 a small-time English drug smuggler.<\/p>\n
It also lifted the lid on the drug trafficking that runs rampant inside San Pedro.<\/p>\n
McFadden ended up making a living by giving backpackers tours of the prison, however, these were eventually banned when it emerged tourists were also buying cocaine at the 'prison factory'.<\/p>\n

He explained that inmates buy or rent their cells \u2013 with each one given a rating from zero to 5.5 stars.<\/p>\n
If an inmate can\u2019t afford to buy a room they risk death as temperatures in the city drop dangerously low due to its location.<\/p>\n
Despite looking like any other jail from the outside, the inside is drastically different with barbershops, restaurants, classrooms, churches, and several small businesses inside.<\/p>\n

There are no guards or metal bars on the cell windows and inmates have to pay for their own cells by working inside the jail.<\/p>\n
Available jobs include carpentry, laundry services and even shoe-shining.<\/p>\n
There are rumours sex workers also enter the prison, bribing the guards to slip in.<\/p>\n
