 Pavao's bedroom had a treadmill
Police in Paraguay raided a drug lord's prison cell, only to find he was living a life of luxury.
In the three-room cell, they found a conference room, plasma screen television, library and kitchen.
The interior of the cell, which was occupied by Brazilian drug lord Jarvis Chimenes Pavao, has now been destroyed, media in Paraguay report.
Police had learned Pavao was planning to escape by using explosives to blow a hole in the wall of the prison.
 An investigation is under way to find who allowed the VIP suite to be built
 Pavao has now been moved far away from Tacumbu prison
Pavao was due to complete his sentence for money laundering next year, at the end of which he was likely to face extradition to Brazil.
He has now been transferred to a special unit away from his luxury cell in Tacumbu prison, near the capital Asuncion.
An investigation is now under way to see which officials had allowed Pavao to set up his life of luxury.
 Anyone wanting to stay in the suite had to pay a hefty sum
 Prison clothes were apparently not among those in the closet
 Among the DVDs: one about the life of drug lord Pablo Escobar
Prisoners at Tacumbu told Agence France-Presse that anyone wanting to stay in the luxury unit had to pay Pavao a one-off fee of $5,000 (£3,778) and a weekly rent of $600.
"He was the most loved man in this prison," one inmate, Antonio Gonzalez, told AFP.
 Pavao was transferred without his collection of shoes
The cell also had air conditioning, comfortable furniture, an en-suite bathroom and a DVD collection.
Among the DVDs were a TV serialisation of the life of Colombian drug baron Pablo Escobar.
Escobar, who was killed in 1993, was allowed to design his own prison in a deal struck with Colombian authorities.
 Life in Tacumbu prison is usually much less glamorous

Well thats not why he was killed. They had been after him for a while but after killing those 2 guys their families gathered with the families of other of his victims and formed a group called los pepes.
They got help from the police and the usa agents and went around murdering his associates and he was finally killed years later when they found his hideout wjere he was with his driver. They shot him down as he tried running away on the rooftops

other then the fact that it's a jail cell (with little accessible sunlight) that place is nicer than the place i'm currently living
fuck
also beats sleeping with two other guys and sharing a toilet/sink in an 8x10 concrete-block room
