• Eyewitness: Shanxi Province Women's Prison a Processing Facility for Counterfeit Drugs

  In 2007, the Shanxi Province Women's Prison was rated as a "Civilised Prison," but based on what I saw there, I think it would be more appropriate to call it a "processing site for counterfeit drugs." I was detained in the prison's processing facility. The workshop facility processes almost everything, from food and clothing, to items used on a daily basis. Two rooms on the second floor were used to package many different kinds of fake drugs. The majority of the drugs processed were used to treat heart disease and high blood pressure.
