Welcome back Charlie here can you imagine a prison where the inmates aren't even allowed
to dream what about a prison where everything is painted pink in order to mess with the inmates
minds and psychology these prisons really do exist around the world some are so bad they're literally
classified by the governments that run them salt pit location kabul afghanistan operated by
central intelligence agency of the united states inmates some of the most scary people in the world
including many terrorists and terror cell leaders salt pit is a prison that officially
does not exist the name salt pit is actually a code name used by the cia the prison is what's
known as a black site prison also known as a dark prison inmates are taken here off the record
and everything that goes on inside this prison is classified but thanks to several leaks we do
know what happens inside salt pit salt pit is said to be worse than guantanamo bay inmates describe
it as hell on earth it is one of the most strict prisons in the world despite it being located in
afghanistan it is a u.s run prison the usa is not allowed to run prisons in other countries but the
cia is so that's why it's overseen by the cia the prison houses 119 detainees the prison is designed
to be the worst place imaginable most days the prison is dark at all times there are almost no
windows and the windows that do exist are covered up this keeps the inmates in total darkness and
isolation 24 7. there's also no bathrooms inside this prison instead inmates are only given a
single bucket during the winter months the prison gets freezing cold but there are no heaters inside
the prison at all the prison is so bad inmates aren't even allowed to sleep or dream inmates
never know what time it is so they don't go into rem sleep as often as normal they basically have
no sleep schedule kind of like me but i'm not being interrogated by the cia prisoners do have
cells but there's also a central arena inmates normally spend time here but sometimes the
inmates are not given clothing prison guards sometimes also spray cold water onto the inmates
sometimes inmates are even chained in one position standing up one detainee said that he had to do
this for 17 days just imagine not being able to sleep or even lay down for that long that's over
half a month sometimes inmates are even deprived of food it's kind of crazy that guantanamo bay
gets so much press but despite being even worse this prison is barely ever reported on in the news
almost like they don't want you to know it even exists the prison was opened in 2002 but its
existence was only discovered in 2006. it's safe to say many of the people in this prison have done
very bad things but does that make it okay for the usa to do these bad things to the inmates
many would say that two wrongs don't make a right but what do you think black dolphin
one country that is known for its tough prisons is russia but there's one prison that sends a chill
down the spine of any russian criminal the prison is named black dolphin it's named this because of
the black dolphin statue outside inmates are taken to this prison blindfolded the blindfold
is not taken off until they're locked inside their cells where most of them will remain for
the rest of their lives the prison is located in the oblast region of russia near its border with
kazakhstan the prison is surrounded by nothing but snow and forests this means if anyone did escape
they would simply freeze out in the snow but since the prison's creation in 1745 no one has escaped
inmates are walked around the prison bent over this means they can't map out the prison or plan
any escapes they're also blindfolded whenever they're transported between buildings the prison
is incredibly strict and all of the inmates are subjected to hard labor they have to work all day
every day and don't even get any payment some prisoners which are deemed too dangerous are
kept inside their cells all day they may not be allowed to go outside for even one hour per day
and they're kept under 24 hour surveillance and supervision no one is getting j.ed inside this
jail now you may feel bad for the inmates as this prison is so strict but the 700 people inside this
prison are some of the worst people in russia this includes people who have done terrible harm
to others and in some cases even cannibals are kept inside black dolphin the inmates are kept
behind not one not two but three sets of bars rt travelled to interview one of the prisoners inside
black dolphin prison he said that in black dolphin it's very hard to remain human you are treated as
an animal and it's hard to stay human after all even most animals in zoos are not kept behind
three bars the prison is freezing cold in the winter the guards have winter coats and hats
but the inmates only have thin cotton clothing there's also no heating system inside the prison
pink prison when you think of prisons the last thing you think of is the color pink the color
pink is associated with girliness and friendliness most prisons are made in a brutalist style and
have very gray and depressing colors but what if i told you there's a specific shade of pink
made just for prisons it is known as baker miller pink and many prisons in switzerland
and other countries are painted in this color the reason why is because baker miller pink is
designed to calm you down the reason these prisms are painted pink is to psychologically engineer
the inmates the colour your room is has a big impact on your brain so to avoid prison fights and
conflict the walls are painted pink some say that it's bad to psychologically alter people's minds
but if it reduces violence in prison then maybe it's a good thing many of the inmates are not
happy with these colours they say they feel very embarrassed and it feels like they're sleeping in
a little girl's bedroom i must admit it does look rather weird but if it actually does calm inmates
down then maybe it's a good thing colony eight colony eight is known as ukraine's worst prison
it's located in jatomi northern ukraine the prison is incredibly run down and scary it's also very
overcrowded there are over 600 prisoners inside but it was built for only 400. it was originally
served as a soviet gulag but today it's a modern prison housing some of the worst people in ukraine
it's also known to be very chaotic and poorly run when a prisoner arrives there is no
paperwork fingerprinting or photo taken instead they're simply strip searched and locked up
surprisingly there are some areas of this prison which are fairly low security there are big
windows with no bars meaning you could easily escape but no one even dares to try there are
guard towers around the prison with armed guards and all around the prison is just snow this means
you would freeze before ever getting to safety prisoners are not allowed visitors so you can't
even plan an escape with someone on the outside in its 110 year history no one has escaped colony 8.
fuchu prison if you're a criminal in japan then you'd better not get caught that's because there's
a chance you'd be sent to fuchu prison inside fuchu prison life is heavily restricted prisoners
are subject to lots of strange psychological tricks prisoners are not even allowed to speak
even during visits with family prisoners are also not allowed to look up they must always look down
at the ground also there's 44 hours of compulsory labor each week prisoners can't even sit how they
like there is a chart inside their cells telling them how to sit if any of these rules are broken
then inmates go to solitary confinement they have to kneel on the floor for 10 hours a day
and sometimes for months at a time fuchu prison has been operating for 90 years and during that
time there's never been a single escape the tigers cage i think by now we all know that china does
not have a good track record when it comes to prisons but kinsheng prison is known as the
worst prison in china it's nicknamed the tigers cage it's about a one hour drive from beijing and
it's described as a prison for the fallen elite this basically means any corrupt politicians or
any politicians who pose a threat to president xi the prison is incredibly tough and hard to escape
although these cells are not bad it is very strict many of the prisoners are sent there for life and
i don't mean 25 years like in the u.s i mean they will be there until the day they die there has
never been a single escape from this prison some even say tigers roam the grounds of this prison
to keep anyone from escaping but it's not known if this is true or merely a scare tactic to keep
inmates inside if it is merely a scare tactic then it seems to be working but now it's time
