Prisons should be a punishment, not a taxpayer funded holiday.

[@Joseph-fw6xx]

Russians don't coddle their prisoners

[@Alex-bp3fr]

These prisons look perfect until someone gets framed for a crime that he has not committed.

[@billdouglas2936]

The guards are prisoners too. Psychologically speaking, the guards are probably just as squirrelly as the inmates.

[@paulfrancis8836]

Western Prisons are a pleasure resort compared to that.

[@stevepowden4560]

I'm assuming the mass shooters that attacked the theatre near Moscow, are destined to reside at one of these places.

[@erkl8823]

The only problem with a prison like this is ... 1. Gotta be careful to not put average criminals in it. 2. The type of guards it takes to run it are probably nearly as evil as the prisoners but they get to go home everyday & interact with the public...

[@randyreal5871]

How many souls have been wrongfully convicted and sent to those places. God only knows

[@yolandaponkers1581]

Listening to this made me want to go outside and just take a walk around my neighborhood and enjoy that I get to see nature and houses and have freedom.

[@garybarnett2756]

I wouldn’t want to be a guard there let alone a prisoner.

[@greyjay9202]

Stalin's gulags were even worse. Prisoners were housed in barracks, and forced to work outside at temperatures down to 50 below F, cutting trees and hauling them out of the taiga. Most did not live long enough to complete their sentences, but if they did, they were released into internal exile. They had to stay in Siberia. The very worst prisoners were sent even further north to work in uranium mines. The death rate was appalling. Few survived. Russia has always been tough on the criminal class, especially political prisoners.

[@MakerInMotion]

I like how they put it in a place where escape is pointless. There's nowhere to go.

[@kadrick4446]

When you denied the human rights of your victim, human rights don't apply to you anymore.

[@UranusProbe]

You mean they dont get TVs, Radios, Cell Phones, Basketball, Softball Team, Art Classes, commissary, Drugs, Sex, Released for good behavior, etc... like US Prisoners??

[@xl000]

Watching this from the comfort of my Norwegian prison.

[@noramartin96]

Many are political prisoners who have protested aginst the regime. Do we want a system like this I don't think so.

[@Raigshow]

The lesson here is don’t get arrested in Russia

[@judydavenport9636]

The prison is inhume ? What about the victims of the prisoners.. isn't the crimes inhumane ?

[@lsaraswati957]

Norway treats prisoners humanely, the opposite of this jail and has a far lower recidivism rate than elsewhere. The ultra harsh conditions don’t help rehabilitate anyone and mean that they will be worse and probably mentally unstable if and when they are eventually freed.

[@riff1able]

Crime not decreased in Russia when compared to other countries prisons despite the cruel treatment so what is the purpose of not being able to make amends .

[@kscowgirl]

If US prison was anything like that the crime rate would not be as high.

[@johnblasik9647]

The Black Dolphin. Abandon all hope ye who enter here.

[@harlequin7735]

In the UK when a prisoner is missing a gym session he puts 25 complains that his human rights are badly Violated

[@austinfuller8323]

All these tough guys in the comments saying shit like "prison aint supposed to be a vacation" but literally they said in the video most of these prisoners are enemies of the government so imagine how many people are exposed to this shit that literally dont deserve it

[@Kittysniffles888]

the ONLY issue I have with these prisons are if they are housing ANYONE who has been WRONGLY ACCUSED and is INNOCENT :(

[@lenacheney]

For all the people saying they deserve it have you taken into account this is Russia we are talking about? You don't think any of these people are wrongly convicted or political prisoners? The ones guilty yes they deserve it but some aren't and they dont

[@hunmari]

you can imagine how was the gulag innocent ppl priests, political oponents,put together w hard core crominals in these horrible conditions

[@relaxresell3121]

Cruel and unusual to me. Psychological torture, and standing in one position all day is psychical torture.

[@nickwoodlock5196]

The Black Dolphin is another hardcore prison in Russia.

[@julianmansell2379]

I work in a State prison in Florida. The inmates get the best of everything, even the lifers. They get Tablets to watch movies or play games, they get the most expensive medicines with only a 5 dollar co payment for doctor visits. They get special meals for religious holidays. They got stimulus checks from the Government during covid. They get cantine store goods, big screen TVs in the dorm. I would rather be in prison than being homeless anyday free food and free education. In fact if you drop your custody level you can take college classes and get your degree for free.

[@kathleendobens6648]

This is abuse on the highest level. So horrible. Even getting human treatments should have rights. Although I don't like what they did this is sick. Not even letters.

[@Blahbevava]

I think I'd just assume be dead than have to live out my days in a places like this. There'd be absolutely zero point in living anymore and just costing tax payers money to barely keep one self alive. The fact that these types of places have to exist in the first place, especially in any kind of mass quantity is rather barbaric when you think about it. Are we not more evolved as a species by now? I'm not saying those who committed terrible crimes should receive no consequences. I'm stating what more can we do as a society to act more intelligently to solve society's ill's rather than respond emotionally and vengefully to such crimes. What can we do to channel resources into more preventative maintenance methods rather than resorting to a money sucking system that costs tax payers over $31,500 a year just to keep one prisoner locked up! That's insane to me! 295-Billion dollars of tax payer money a year for our monstrosity of a justice system! Is there not more we can do to help keep people on a better course in life and out of the criminal justice system in the first place! To shrink the number of prisons and cells required. Right now the United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world by a very large margin! The only main industry left in this country seems to be to poison people while at the same time making systems of endless treatments or punishment for profit. Our food is poison. Our Families are broken. Our education system is broken. Our communities and neighborhoods are broken and divided. Our media is full of lies and division. Mainstream music is poison. Entertainment industry is mostly smut and violence. Our entire system is currently set up in such a way as to utterly destroy people and most of it's aimed at our young when they're just kids! We need to start UNITING again and solving society's issues at their root causes. We need to have a justice system with laws and consequences based on logic and reason rather than a desire for endless vengeance and punishment at maximum expense and endless human suffering. Truth is in this modern age people haven't changed a bit. Might have modern tech but people's minds are still in the dark ages!

[@anthonyguarino4242]

Russian prisons don’t play games! The inmates get the harshest conditions due to horrific crimes they committed! You commit the crimes, you get what coming to you and that’s on you!

[@StephenFletcher-vf9im]

Cells in Sweden have table lamps and carpets on the floor and great food, who would want to leave ? 😂😂😂

[@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241]

We need these types of prisons in the United States.

[@dervideominister]

you have these types already 🙂😂

[@rainegoldberg9376]

Wow our prisons in Australia is like staying at the ritz hotel compared to these horrendous prisons in Russia.

[@leaogitirana2809]

I’d take the owl prison any day over some Indian, south East Asian or South American prisons. At least owl is clean, orderly and not crowded.

[@user-eg6pt8rs3l]

I know three persons who were exposed to TB in prison. The disease literally ate their lungs.

[@stephenvanburen1818]

This seems like hell on earth to me. I'd rather be dead for sure!

[@user-dq3jk9py4q]

El Salvador has some pretty gnarly prisons too

[@babsbyrne1464]

The black dolphin…. Inmates BEGIN to suffer mental illness after a couple months of being there … 🤔….i think they were already ill before …that’s why they are there … it’s just amplified in such a horrific place 🤔

[@user-mx4tv5qk9i]

Russia don't mess about, the west should take notice

[@SlopJedi]

I’d rather go to war than be sentenced to this fate.

[@edwardcalvert]

It goes with the punishment fits the crime.

[@carolynnixon3086]

Disagreeing with the government agenda is not a crime!

[@Oregon123]

America needs these kinds of prisons.

[@KeithanthonyTaylor]

If only all of our criminal politicians and leaders could go there.

[@brownie88ify]

I would have thought that Russia would have the death penalty, it would be preferable than life in one of those places.

[@labrownification]

Wonder how it is to be a guard or other employee at these prisons. Where do they live, especially if the prison is isolated from everything else? Two days away from home? And the support system for the prisons, gotta have medical staff and supplies, food delivery, lightbulbs, trash removal, dog food and care etc. There’s a lot of non prisoner people that also have to deal with the grim environment to keep those isolated prisons working. Seriously just curious how that’s dealt with.

[@schmuelschperling1459]

Statistics say they about 5% of US prisoners are wrongfully convicted, with about 7,000 serving life sentences. Russia has a higher potential for wrongful convictions due to its less transparent justice system and limited access to legal resources. Imagine being a wrongfully convicted prisoner in one of these prisons. Mercy

[@HT-fv7fj]

For those who wish the US had a similar prison system, they must wish to live in that country also. Everything comes in a package.

[@alyross3081]

I guess you can make the case that nothing is bad enough for some. But what worries me is that this is Russia, not exactly known for its fair justice system. The thought that an innocent person could be subjected to this is terribly sad.

[@McChrister]

The USA should take these prisons as an example! Tax payer wasted institutions….Just soup and bread, no comforts whatsoever!!

[@thomasfx3190]

The 8th amendment to the US constitution prohibits ‘cruel or unusual’ punishment, some complain about this which allows prisoners to read a newspaper or listen to music as ‘coddling’ prisoners convicted of horrible crimes, but without these protections, some US states would certainly harm, torture, starve and abuse convicts. In particular, state prisons in Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi & Alabama are notoriously heinous and with those states conviction of minorities at rates greater than 3x the rate of other states.

[@vinceavery7216]

I think we are way too easy on our prisoners in America .

[@JuanGonzalez-wq9hy]

Russia has no death penalty.

[@ricosuave8123]

I’d hate to have a *bad back* and be a prisoner in that prison.

[@peteparsons432]

Yes, these men did horrible things. However, look closer at the society from which they came from, and you can see where they learned to behave that way.

[@lestercoons3962]

If prisons in U.S. were like this maybe there wouldn't be so much crime here...

[@Hohmies86]

Yet these heinous crimes are still being committed. New prisoners at the polar owl every year

[@miller566]

Just retired from a maximum security prison here in the usa. The inmates have an NBA court law libraries more updated than any law school in the country, a gym indoors, and outdoors HBO now tablets in their cells. I can go on and on lol.

[@dingdongdaddy589]

Imagine the monsters they employ to mange the other monsters. Glad they are all far away from most people…

[@Sea-cucumber1151]

Not allowing them to socialize causes a soul to go insane, that’s pretty cruel.

[@melvinlovejones]

It’s amazing that people work at such a place.

[@nopelol8718]

My childhood friend is a warden, although his facility is only for temporary jailing before transportation/sentence and not very high security

[@philliphall5198]

Guess they don’t have to worry about them being guilty of anything 😊😊😊

[@Carebearsied]

Job security

[@billythekid-tm5ed]

I would go insane if I was in that Russia prison in the Artic circle.

[@carrington227]

These kind of prisons are just what America needs.

[@girlbye8198]

This country does everything it can to suck the happiness out of anything and anyone...

[@philliphall5198]

I agree with the Russia prison system and system America is a joke and they encourage more criminals to return to crime 😢

[@danaustria1056]

That is still jeaven for prisoners, come and see the prisoners cell in the Philippines and youll see hell on earth.

[@orionalexander2918]

A lot of Russias most brutal prisons are named after animals. Owl, Black Dolphin..

[@WreckheadAdam]

The UK prison system needs to learn from this place.

[@Pnw208]

Those guards are hardcore too. Look at their outfits. They are barely wearing thin jackets there. I need a huge puffer coat and snow pants to deal with those temps

[@edups1]

I feel bad for that officer that has to stand out there and watch them walk. -30 out, still gotta watch them.

[@fredread9216]

What about all of the political prisoners that Russia is so famous for.

[@mikey92362]

Meh. I was married for 25 years. This doesn't seem so bad really.

[@ahklys1321]

So many morbid people out there. No human should be tortured physically or mentally.

[@dolittle6781]

Wonder how the prison staff cope with working in such a radically dystopian environment. What kind of mental health condition are they in? We know the condition of the inmates. Is it worse for inmates or staff all things being equal-indeed a very medieval penal system.

[@niecy2663]

And yet it still didn't stop them from committing their crimes.

[@edwinarobinson691]

So Russia doesn't believe in a death penalty??

[@thesilversurfer7136]

And people want to live under authoritarian governments.

[@mojorisin7317]

Watching this confirms one thing. The obvious mental illness of many individuals to know prisons like this exist and yet still act in the manner they did to get themselves into there. No matter what punishment the human mind can think of there will always be people willing to risk that fate to accomplish what they desire whether by spontaneous means or premeditated occurrence.

[@k.nichelle4875]

I bet the fact that they keep prisoners isolated from one another keeps inmate on inmate violence waaaaay down.

[@prasadmyname]

Here in Kerala. Three time meals, weekly once mutton, periodic parol. Almost like a retirement plan😅

[@DrillCenter-mf1yg]

Their ham strings must be really strong for being forced to bend down while walking I feel bad for the prison guards who need to live there..

[@2380Shaw]

The North Koreans are saying "Hey Russia hold our Vodka"

[@Leah.Something]

Is Snow Owl the place where they killed Navalny? Imagine suffering like this for fighting for change in your home country.

[@LLYMYNT]

Black dolphin prison replica in the U.S. in the desert southwest of the US, no swamp coolers or air conditioning

[@EberechukwuIbe]

It’s a concentration camp

[@rickcoleman8903]

America needs punishment for prisoners rather than day care centers

[@timgorski]

Some of these prisoners are political activists, not criminals, and unlike the narrator suggests, do not deserve this level of inhumanity.

[@barbarachambers7974]

I hadn't heard of Polar Owl prison before. Black Dolphin, yes. Madagascar and Haiti are pretty bad as well.

[@tomekaridley6371]

Never go to Russia. Never move to Russia. Period.

[@mr.sherlockholmes6130]

America needs to have these prisons not a resort for them

[@plutoniumcoreuk]

I was a Prison Officer in the UK working in a Category A High Risk Prison. I worked with all types of inmates as I worked on the Hospital Wings Housing up to forty on each wing. Some were very mentally disturbed and dangerous but others were there as the result of injuries sustained because of their crimes. The Sex Offenders and the ones who had committed unspeakable crimes against women and especially children I absolutely hated. The thing is the public doesn’t get to know the full truth and extent of their crimes as we do as we read their core records as we have to deal with them and write reports on their behaviour. Sentencing for these offenders is a joke and so is the rights they have behind bars.

[@PatriciaBegeleus-iu4ro]

Do y'all understand their are people who been incarcerated for 20 and 30 years only to be finally found innocent.

[@mikerichardson60]

America needs to take notes here

[@francinejones2524]

I feel like Hannibal Lector would have gone to Black Dolphin prison if he was Russian and got caught.

[@craigswanson8026]

I personally knew a man who escaped the Gulags. Seriously. His name was Slava and he was 90 something in 1985 when I met him in Phoenix. He flew his self-engineered and self-built ultralight aircraft. He crashed it in a newly plowed field and was fine! Totaled the plane. When my dad and I picked him up, he was laughing.

[@jaymichael1423]

How the fuck would someone in that prison even get drugs and how the fuck are they GIVEN a syringe😭

[@pamrupnow905]

Probably not a popular opinion but these seems more like torture than imprisonment. I know….. they did awful things, an eye for an eye, etc. But death penalty seems more humane to me.
