BBC ALBA - Fo Ghlas/World's Toughest Prisons, Series 1, San Pedro Prison

San Pedro jail where murderers rule. Prìosan San Pedro far a bheil murtairean a’ riaghladh

San Pedro Prison, where murderers rule and where no guard dares enter.
Prìosan San Pedro, far a bheil murtairean a’ riaghladh agus far nach bi na geàird airson a dhol a-steach.

Across four continents, six different prisons, this series "Behind Bars”, takes us beyond the gates, walls, barred windows and cells into an unknown world, a world we know exists, but a world nobody wants to think about. Rules and rigid routine in some, total anarchy in others, making it hell on earth for every inmate. Each episode delves into the world of prisoners: newcomers who spend their first night in jail, mothers who have to raise their children behind bars and felons waiting for a court to decide their fate.

San Pedro Prison - a prison city, where murderers rule, prisoners disappear without a trace and where no guard dares enter.

Thairis air ceithir mòr thìrean agus sia prìosain, tha am prògram seo a’ dol air cùl nan geataichean, nam ballachan, nan uinneagan crannaichte agus nan ceallan gu saoghal air nach eilear eòlach, saoghal a tha ann, ach nach eil duine airson smaoineachadh mu dheidhinn. Tha riaghailtean agus smachd ann an cuid dhiubh, mì-rian ann an cuid eile, a’ dèanamh cùisean duilich dhan h-uile neach a tha beò annta. Tha gach prògram a’ sealltainn rudeigin eadar-dhealaichte mu dheidhinn saoghal nam prìosanach: a’ chiad oidhche sa phrìosan, màthraichean a’ togail an cuid chloinne fo ghlas agus eucoraich a’ feitheamh ri cùirt, a bhios a’ co-dhùnadh dè tha an dàn dhaibh.

Prìosan San Pedro - Prìosan a tha mar bhaile, far a bheil murtairean a’ riaghladh, far am bi prìosanaich a’ dol à sealladh gun ghuth orra, agus far nach bi na geàird airson a dhol a-steach.
