Welcome to the Maldives, home to white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and one of the most notorious prisons in the world. As drugs and drug addiction flourish in the capital, the Maafusi High Security Prison houses those caught in the government's fruitless attempts at total crackdown. The guards of this island prison rule with strict security measures and are forbidden from carrying any weapons, a de-escalation measure that can have tragic consequences.
