San Pedro Prison is a prison in Bolivia known for operating largely as a self-governing community. Internal day-to-day life is managed primarily by prisoners rather than correctional officers, with police mainly securing the prison perimeter.

Prisoners are responsible for obtaining or renting their own living spaces, and economic activity exists within the prison through jobs such as shopkeeping, food vending, barbering, and other services. Families are often allowed to live with or frequently visit inmates. The prison also maintains internal political structures, including elected prisoner leadership, with many rules and disputes handled internally by the inmate population itself.
