Do you love Prison Break ? Prison Break Season 4 will premiere September 1, 2008 with a 2-hour special; a TV spot has already been broadcasted. I am waiting for it for a long time. Today, let’s see some real prisons in the world.
 

1. World’s most secure prison -ADX Supermax Prison
   
   The United States Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility (ADX) in Florence, CO. is a supermax prison in Florence, Colorado, USA. It is unofficially known as ADX Florence, Florence ADMAX, Supermax, or The Alcatraz of the Rockies.[1] It is operated by the federal government and is part of the Florence Federal Correctional Complex (FCC). ADX houses the prisoners who are deemed the most dangerous and in need of the tightest control.
   this is the king of all prisons, and I mean the evil king. to be fair, it’s what a prison should be: harsh. even the name means business, supermax prisons being the securest in the world.this ‘high-tech alcatraz’ was opened in 1994 and is home to only the most violent and dangerous criminals in the country. those pesky prisoners have absolutely no contact with each other at any time and spend 22 hours per day in solitary confinement (cell size 7ft x 8ft), leaving plenty of time to consider what to have as their last meal (by the way, mine would be steak, griddled asparagus and creamy mash). a lot of convicts who enter adx, understandably, lose their mind pretty soon after entering and unless you own a sentence of 25yrs or over you aint getting in.

2. World’s smallest prison -Sark prison, sark, guernsey
    
   Sark prison - capacity: 2
   sark prison is located on the island of sark in guernsey, was built in 1856 and is apparently the smallest in the world. it can house 2 prisoners at a push and is still used for overnight stays - if you continue to play up after that you’ll get shipped off to a proper grown-up jail with corridors and staff.
3. World’s most valuable prison  -san quentin state prison
    
   San Quentin State Prison is located on 432 acres (1.7 km2) on Point Quentin in Marin County, California, United States, north of San Francisco. San Quentin State Prison was opened in July 1852, and is the oldest prison in California.The state’s male death row is located at San Quentin, as well as its only gas chamber. In recent years, however, the gas chamber has been used to carry out lethal injections.

4.  world’s best-looking prison -leoben justice centre, steiermark, austria
     

    
   yes, it’s a prison. it was created by hohensinn architektur.

5. world’s most overcrowded prison -kresty prison(Saint Petersburg prison ), st. petersburg, russia
    
   kresty prison
    
   russia’s prisons have a reputation for being the most overcrowded on earth, especially kresty prison in st. petersburg.
   number of square metres per prisoner allocated by the russian government: 4
   official capacity: 3,000
   actual population: always at least 10,000
6. world’s most famous prison -alcatraz / the rock, san fransisco bay, california
    
   the island served as a prison for 29yrs, ceasing operation in 1963. it was a hardcore ‘inescapable’ jail and many prisoners found the surrounding water as an invitation to try and flee. officially no-one succeeded (sean connery?), but ‘thirty-four prisoners were involved in 14 attempts, two men trying twice; seven were shot and killed, two drowned, five were unaccounted for, and the rest were recaptured’. good effort though.
     
7. world’s strangest prison-san pedro, bolivia 
    
   fucking hell, where do i start?convicts at san pedro in bolivia have to pay rent for a cell and they all have jobs within the prison. a large number have partners and children staying with them and tourists/backpackers are allowed to enter the prison but must be accompanied by a tour guide (a prisoner) for safety reasons (wtf?!). tourists can even stay the night in a cell for a small fee and a large number of them frequent the jail in order to buy cocaine from inmates as it’s apparently the purest and cheapest in Bolivia.it’s also been suggested that local police only enter the facility to collect bribes.

    

8. So, where is THE WORLD’S LARGEST PRISON ??
