risky business growing cannabis and stopped hype. and. but live. and act and then judas hike. and go. 5 to 10 years from fox. but communities across the highlands are prepared to take the risk to try to earn extra income. inequality between the nations rich and poor has been the source of many scandals in the poverty stricken country. such as the 2018 apec summit a meeting for leaders from across the asia pacific region to transports 21 heads of state during the summit the government board dozens of luxury meza rotty cars with

public funds the cost to the taxpayer nearly $4000000.00 but what happened to them since. after investigation stored in these nearby sheds when we arrived the guard confirms the cars are behind these gates where. people see. gathering dust inside we find 40 brand new meza rashi's imported from each early with a $100000.00 each. the finance minister said the cars would be sold to the highest bidder after the sound and that he expected them to still like hotcakes. while critics called the cars a symbol of government waste in other places public spending is hard to see. them on a penitentiary the largest prison in the country lies just outside the capital where

only one writer for procedures yorkers withdrawal or other members out of work remember a grocer gurgled has. been assigned these rusty metal barks break this murderous and robbers. together. here the administration only separates those awaiting trial like this man who's been behind bars for more than a year later i met a man. in the prison for unarmed gods are responsible for more than $600.00 inmates we believe they will be on them and we. will bring him to you know talk to learn to stop them don't touch my last disability or shallow dish out on their well now we can continue. the group we used to get the support members were to get out and then there was common reinforcement of governments of what that's in our future. but these gods are

really cool for reinforcements once the most dangerous prison in the country it's improved in the last 5 years in order to ensure painless the new management asked the prisoners to take control of their own security in exchange they're given more freedom within the grounds of sleep. is one of. them each barracks has its own head of security in this 145 year old job is the boss i booked in prison. so i was told i can use it pretty. stellar he served different sentences for different crimes. to assist even murda serving 25 years in prison joe will remain here until 2025 he spends his days in his

dormitory hot dishware british. i said if you mostly want to sleep with me i don't have procured what they. called pregnancy short and this one food because. with climate change comes in the might be sweet it's really what i come down that you don't listen. to prisoners here have no mattresses to sleep on no television and no phone but some like joe many to get one of. your hard on all yeah it's my michael mom i was presenting it's. look. science consequence. of their lives behind this on barea is solitary confinement in this very small space prisons can be held anywhere between a few weeks and

a few months so i thought it evoked. flow of. what. these men are all here for the same reason they broke prison rules. incident was a particular course of wet dream change i'll call it the cycle whirling it's really all you know how you managed to get out of. all this. that's a good question. because for that sort of. you know what i'm saying is true and what the prisoner is cautious as a god stands right behind us always agreed. after years of confinement the prison allows some inmates to work outside. this morning where port moresby central market under heavy surveillance prisoners

will clean the area around the market. yet i feel for the future level for the future of the likelihood of an inquest or if it was. only prisoners who. meet certain conditions and are approaching the end of a sentence eligible. pick a. day off from feeling pretty much let go they have to come off for you to follow if you want to escape then they will think you have a lot of something once you have to fly get pierced freak so i don't get to escape . this community service provides an opportunity for surprising where unions. come you can see them people across we can see them and talk to. these detainees has not seen he's told us tonight i need is a good way to get me he didn't begin to get it when you let him think it was more

than i live to play here he'd be made to do it more if my wife leaving him but it's an interesting. life and how he didn't do very well and he not speak you. know his family had been trying times experience to be certain to surrender to the fish groups who could get an advantage to do good it's interesting because i knew my goodness we believe. we returned to the city center to find jack the head of the gang. he's meeting up with his associates from prying eyes sexual plays a save his days where we can come and talk and discuss into the body of jack's longtime friend and partner in crime is months by use of violent confrontations
