La Modelo

La Modelo is a prison in Bogotá, Colombia. With 15,000 inmates, the facility is known for its violence. Different areas of the prison are controlled by different factions of paramilitaries, guerrilla fighters, and drug cartels. Most of the prisoners at La Modelo are not associated with any factions. Prison guards do not carry weapons in the prison, except for a baton. However, guards in the watch towers do have a rifle. Prisoners have easy access to guns and grenades. The prison's administration allows prisoners to have businesses, such as bakeries or restaurants.
