In 1984, to help control the ever-growing violence, the Bellavista prison was built. But the war on the streets continued inside the prison walls and violence soon controlled the prison. On average there were 50 murders a month in the prison, and sometimes as many as 20 a day. Bellavista quickly became one of the most violent prisons in the world.



When a church and a Bible institute were started inside Bellavista, the violence stopped and for a year there were no murders inside the prison. The world's most vicious criminals started turning away from the violence of their past. The lives of the inmates were radically transformed and life in the prison changed. In the past 16 years, there have been only 15 deaths inside Bellavista.



Now Bellavista is the least dangerous prison in all of Latin America. The men whose violent lives put them in the prison now run the prison ministry. These are their stories.
