The VIPs prisoners enjoy tennis in prison. |
Built in a 400 hectares squeezed 23,000 prisoners who are not killing each other because someone in charge had the inspiration to give them the right of self-government . So the prison Bilimpint in Manila reminds very much a city as there are shops, a hospital , church , and even golf . Nevertheless , although there are those , the prison remains tough , gangs have the upper hand and balances are extremely fragile . It is not a coincidence that every Filipino only heard the name of the prison tremble . By passing a convict its doors, is an "animal " that is owned by a dozen gangs who administering prison. Those in greatest demand are foreign but the VIPs ( there serving their sentences but several mayors and MPs ) , because they have more money so they can pay more money to provide protection in prison . An average monthly amount of protection is around 200 pesos . Those , therefore , " have them " spend most of their day in cafes , on the tennis court or in the lawn . These " conveniences " created money Zalosgios MP , former minister, who was imprisoned on charges of rape of a 11 year old girl. This explains the fact that there is not a prisoner that says a bad word for pedophile politician. Quite the contrary . " Before Zalosgios in prison there was not even running water," she says in the magazine «Paris Match» the leader of the gang BCJ which has " buy" political . The same gang owns and maybe more foreigners, including the Dutchman Emile Leclerc , who has his arm tattooed with the stamp of the owner. What is the fate of those who have no more money to ensure protection? They sleep on dirt in cells with more than seventy prisoners , and do various errands for the gang to repay his right to life !
The margins of escape from this prison is not large , but there is unlikely to escape it. But this is a big risk , because if the guards see someone trying to escape, then without any hesitation treat him like target shooting . The remaining prisoners were informed of the escape attempt from the corpse of what he tried to leave, which is conveniently placed at the entrance of the prison to exemplify . Most prisoners we do everything to ensure the favor of gangs and leave the risks , so they can enjoy their life with luxuries like a game of tennis !
