3. Turkey

■ This is Diyarbakir High Security Prison. There are adults and children
there together (Turkish law provides for life sentence for children).
Prisoners are powerless, they are harshly beaten unconscious or to
death. Medical care is almost non-existent, the high mortality rate has
been registered there.

4. Madagascar

■ This is a rural prison. It consists
of three barracks. They are
located near the courtyard for
walking.
■ And this is what cameras look
like. Prisoners sleep on thin
mats. There is also a huge
problem with food. According to
local laws, their members of
family or friends should provide
food to prisoners. Therefore, if a
person is lonely, he will die in
prison of starvation.

5. USA

■ Rikers is the prison island in the East River Strait (New York). This is the
biggest correctional colony in the world. It costs the American taxpayers
$ 860 million a year.

6. USA

■ In August 2014 the Office of the
Federal Prosecutor Prit Bharara
published a report that refers to a
“culture of violence” among
prison guards, including against
teenage prisoners. And there is
the practice of unlawfully long
detention in solitary cells.

7. USA. Interesting fact

■ Prisoners who are dying can order
almost any dish on the last day of
life in the USA. This rule helps to
relieve their sentence. Serial killer
John Wayne Gacy preferred fried
shrimp, chicken from KFC (he
worked there as a manager),
french fries and some
strawberries.
