Asuncion (AFP) - Paraguayan authorities got a surprise when they raided a Brazilian drug lord's jail cell... and found a three-room luxury suite complete with library, kitchen, conference room and plasma TV.

Jarvis Chimenes Pavao, considered one of South America's most dangerous drug traffickers, had been serving an eight-year sentence for money laundering at the Tacumbu prison in the Paraguayan capital, Asuncion.

But little did anyone on the outside know what kind of lifestyle that really meant -- until a powerful bomb was discovered inside the prison.

Chimenes Pavao, who was due for release next year but facing extradition back to Brazil on drug charges, had allegedly planned to use the plastic explosives to blow a hole in the prison walls and escape.

But his plan backfired when police poured into the prison to investigate and discovered his pimped out cell.

The "VIP cell," as it was known to prisoners, had three rooms with en suite bathroom, a kitchen and conference room, air conditioning, stylishly tiled walls, plush furniture and a library complete with a DVD collection to watch on the big-screen plasma TV, AFP reporters saw during a visit.

The DVDs included the full collection of "Pablo Escobar," a TV series on the feared Colombian kingpin who was killed in 1993, a hero of Chimenes Pavao's.

Prison Cell
 

Read the true story Marching Powder: A True Story of Friendship, Cocaine, and South America's Strangest Jail A British citizen is sentenced to a Bolivian prison for cocaine smuggling.
Nothing was furnished, not even food or your cell. He ended up with completely furnished cell/apartment, and even owned several restaurants inside. Gave paid tours to American & European tourists. Who were mostly drug touristas.
It was said the best cocaine comes from Bolivia and the best cocaine in Bolivia comes from San Pedro Prison. He made a small fortune making it from paste. Whole families lived there with their prison husbands. Coke was smuggled out in the backpacks of children going to outside schools daily.
