PABLO ESCOBAR PRISON in MEDELLIN. Luxury Home of the Colombian Drug Lord. La Catedral by Drone 4k

The world's most famous druglord Pablo Escobar built a luxury prison for himself in the city of Medellín, Colombia. In 1991 the leader of the Medellín Cartel had an agreement with the Colombian government in which Escobar would surrender to authorities and serve a maximum term of five full years and the Colombian government would not extradite him to the United States. The druglord's prison was believed to have been designed more to keep out his enemies and protect him from assassination attempts, than to keep Escobar in. The finished prison was often called "Hotel Escobar" or "Club Medellín", because of how luxury it was. La Catedral had a football pitch, giant doll house, bar, jacuzzi and waterfall. Pablo Escobar also had a telescope installed that allowed him to look down onto the city of Medellín to his daughter's residence while talking on the phone with her. Although the government was willing to turn a blind eye to Escobar continuing his drug smuggling, the arrangement fell apart when it was reported Escobar had four of his lieutenants tortured and murdered within La Catedral. The Colombian government decided it had to move Escobar to a standard prison, an order Escobar refused. In July 1992, after serving one year and one month, Escobar again went on the run. With the Colombian National Army surrounding the prison, Escobar escaped out of the back gate.
