Hi Charlie here we've all driven past or seen prisons before
but these are some prisons which you will have never seen or been anywhere
near that's because they're located in the
middle of nowhere that's not a design floor it's because
they house the most dangerous people in the world only the worst of the worst go
to these places and many aren't even on land
spike island ireland spike island is an island located off the coast of
ireland pretty confusing i know but since the 18th century it's been used as
a prison it had to be opened in 1847 because
there was so much stealing this is mainly because of the
great famine in ireland they wanted a place to keep the worst
prisoners so they created this island some members of militia groups for
example the ira were kept in at its peak over 1 400 men were held on
the island but of course it's not just the
prisoners on this island it's also all of the prison workers and their families
that's why this island is also home to a small school church and also ferry
service the independent described it as islands
hell the prisoners are incarcerated for more
than 23 hours per day and as if that's not scary enough this
prison island is even haunted by a ghost born in 1903 little
nelly passed on on the island prisoners claim to hear her voice and also see her
in the prison imrali island turkey imrali island is
one of the worst prisons in turkey it's located on a tiny island in the
south of the sea of marmara bill hayes the american author who wrote
midnight express was locked up here for life
this was for narco trafficking but eventually he escaped the prison is
totally isolated and has bad conditions sometimes inmates lawyers even say the
prison is way too inhumane and they have to be transferred to a new jail the
prison island is patrolled from the water and of course on land too

the outside world all they can do when they go outside is

you may think of colorado as a relaxed laid-back state
but it's also home to the penitentiary which is said to be the most
secure in the world adx florence is what's known as a maximum
lockdown jail prisoners are lucky if they ever get to see the sun
prisoners are locked up all day and there's no way anyone
even the guards could help them get out the cells have no direct access
that's because there's a vestibule which has to be unlocked by two people
it's kind of like a sheep's pen most prisons have way more people than
they're built for but adx florence built for 490 prisoners has never been
at full capacity right now there's only 400 inmates and
that's because there's a very small amount of people
who actually need to be in super max most of the people in there have done
terrible things for example blown things up
they've been involved in the worst crimes you could ever imagine on a big

famous prison on the planet it's housed prisoners like

amazingly this island prison did have 14 escapes it's thought that all others
drowned while trying to escape now alcatraz is no longer in operation
one of the reasons why is because it was decaying and conditions were so bad
there if you think swimming two kilometers is
tough try doing it in prison clothing and chains
the entire island is very creepy and ominous complete with a lighthouse
used by the warden the jailhouse itself was developed with
military fortification and the water currents around the island were high at
all times to make sure that inmates could not escape
and the water currents around the island were high at all times decreasing the
