UK documentary series, World’s Toughest Prisons, which was pulled from Nine’s schedule while its 60 Minutes crew was behind bars in Beirut, begins tonight.
The first episode features a jail in Honduras while subsequent episodes feature Mexico, The Philippines and Poland.
No word if Lebanon will feature.
Normally you have to be a war criminal, gangland executioner, rapist or psychopath to secure a room in one of the world’s toughest prisons. Paul Connolly is none of the above but he heads to Honduras to spend a week living inside Danli Prison.
9:30pm tonight on Nine.

I find it remarkable that Britain and the US can produce a series like this with the prisoners in full view but whenever anything like this is produced in Australia – whether on the news or as a doco – the prisoners are either filmed from behind or their faces are fuzzed and pixelated. Just shows you how little media freedom we have in this country.
The prisoners may not have been convicted yet.
