The Czech Republic's detention center for migrants has been condemned by the UN's chief human rights official, and even the Czech justice minister said it was "worse than a prison." Detainees are made to pay around $10 a day for their own incarceration, with families locked up behind barbed wire and watched over by armed guards. Czech officials have dismissed the criticism, saying they are fulfilling their obligations under international law. (Reporter: Ray Furlong, Camera: Roman Kupka)
