Russia's Toughest Prisons

[tboo]

Anybody watch this on Nat Geo? Holy shit! The Russians know how to run a prison. Those guard dogs(the 200lb dogs at the second prison-not the german shepards) were gigantic.

For those that have the time to watch:

thanks for the links. I caught the very end and it looked interesting. Seeing the facility from the outside was pretty amazing. Scary place for sure

6:32 into the first video: Is that a giraffe in the background??

 

[rudder]

interesting....gonna check it out. I wonder if those prisoners have 100+ cable channels and can sue if the icing on their cake is not chocolately enough?

It's just a recruitment and consolidation territory for the Russian mafia. It's where they get their stars.

They do not mess around. There is no genpop. They eat in their cells. I would commit suicide before going to a place like that.

we need prisons like that here in the US to put all the gang bangers in. right now our prisons are a playground for them.

I think this prison is not really representative of most Russian prisons, it looks to be a max-security/ad-seg heavy unit, and those are expensive to operate. A lot of them are probably a lot like this :

Watch the first 30 seconds to get an idea.

once in black dolphin you are not getting out. so i dont see how the russian mafia could recruit from there.

Wow.

Seems like we could stand to borrow some ideas from Black Dolphin.

And bring back the death penalty.

Great videos. I knew that my neighbor country has places that you really do not want to be in.

Listening to the cannibal talk about cutting up a guy & eating him is disgusting.

First video, 11:30, the look on his face, in his eyes... he's totally fucking crazy.

Reminder to self, don't try Kangaroo dumplings in Russia.

US prisons should be this way. The biggest reason for all the trouble in US prisons is allowing prisoners to interact.

 

[rasczak]

This is what is needed in the US.

 

[classy]

Wow, they have a murder rate 5 times higher than the US. That is staggering.

Black Dolphin makes San Quintin look like Camp David.

Lol @ all the people saying this is what we need. Funny how there never is any correlation between how brutal the judicial system is and the level of violence in society outside. Well actually in some ways there is, the more brutal the system the more violent the society outside a well. Or vice versa depending on how you want to look at it. And the countries with some of the lowest crime rates happen to often have some of the best prisoner treatment. There are some exceptions to this but it's pretty solid. Go back a few hundred years and things get even more extreme. Steal a loaf of bread and get your hand cut off, murder someone and get your end trails pulled out, public executions. And yet rates of violent crime back in the middle ages were staggeringly high even with the horrible horrible punishments visited upon those caught. No this is not what we need. People think they want this, for revenge, but they don't really want the society that results from having this.

Watched it.

I wonder if anyone ever thought of trying to escape even if the odds are against them. First the jail cell, the tall wired fences, the gap to the other fence, marksmen on towers, then getting out of the area in the middle of nowhere. Not sure how they will survive in the cold weather. ^_^

I kept wondering why $$$ is spent to keep them in jail, feeding them, etc. Why not relocate the hardcore criminals in an island very far from mainland like Madagascar and let them fend for themselves. No TV, no internet...that should we torture enough.
