Are the media everywhere repeating to the world about the protection of human rights, their freedoms, interests? and it doesn’t matter whether this person committed a crime or not. Even if he did, he should not be abused, since he is morally unhealthy. In different parts of Europe, prisons are created with conditions that allow criminals to feel quite comfortable throughout the entire sentence, but if you look at the rest of the world or even at least in certain countries, such as the USA, Brazil or Russia, we can say that the land still has such places of detention, from which even the most inveterate criminals have hair on their heads stand on end. So, let's find out what 25 prisons can be attributed to the most severe and dangerous prisons in the world and describe the 10 most cruel prisons.
Colony of Sao Paulo. Brazil
It is here that the world's most cruel prison is located. This colony has an even more common name - Carandiru. São Paulo is served by about 1,000 guards who work non-stop in 4 shifts and monitor 7,500 prisoners. It is impossible to escape from this prison.
In 2010, more than a hundred people were killed during the riot and attempted escape. Almost every second person in this prison has HIV infection, so this place can still be called the dirtiest prison in the world. There are no medical facilities within the walls of the
correctional institution , which means that there is no one to monitor the development of diseases, not to mention treating them. The strict regime practically does not allow prisoners to be on the street, they spend most of the day in their cells.
Riker's Island Prison. New York
This prison was opened in 1932. She is known throughout the world as a prison with the greatest number of tortures, beatings, violence and other cases of ill-treatment of prisoners. She is second on the list of the 25 most cruel prisons in the world. Frequent riots of prisoners are accompanied by a large number of deaths. More than 80 collisions are recorded annually. More than 14,000 prisoners are currently being held at Riker's Island. This prison is located on the island, and the only thing that connects it to the mainland is a narrow bridge. It is believed that it is impossible to escape from this prison, since not one attempt to escape from it was successful for the offender. The prison is also a leader in America’s Most Cruel Prisons rating, according to National Geographic magazine.
Camp 1391. Israel
The third rightful place is Camp 1391 near Tel Aviv. About this prison it became known only in 2003. For more than ten years, almost nobody knew about its existence. This prison is a military prison - it contains the most dangerous criminals in Israel. The data on this prison is classified and not subject to disclosure. Torture, unrealistic deplorable living conditions, embittered warders - all this gives the camp the right to occupy a legitimate 3rd place in the ranking of the 25 most cruel prisons in the world. Not a single prisoner has yet left the prison alive, or at least nothing is known about them.
Tadmore High Security Prison. Syria
According to rumors, in the Tadmore medieval forms of torture are applied to prisoners. The repeated use of knives by the staff, as well as other improvised means, such as sticks, ropes, water, make this prison one of the most cruel of prisoners. This prison contains various types of criminals - from especially dangerous to political prisoners. Clashes between them often end with a large number of victims. During the year, more than 20 people die in this prison. Prisoners christened the Kingdom of Madness and Death Prison. Here, criminals literally go crazy, they lose their minds and turn into plants, and those who do not give up die anyway over time.
Prison Alcatraz. San Francisco
Designed in the 1920s on an island in California, this prison is referred to as "The Rock" or "Devil's Island." The prison has cruel laws. The "rock" was designed in such a way that it was not possible to escape from it, but in the late seventies and early eighties, one prisoner managed to disappear, but his attempt to escape was unsuccessful - he froze and drowned in the bay. The prisoners sitting there said that there was a period when they were forbidden not only to talk with other cellmates, but also to show any emotions towards them. Violation of these rules was strictly punished, and the week in the punishment cell was the least of all punishments.
Particularly harsh conditions were due to the fact that in this prison there were especially dangerous criminals caught for trying to escape from other prisons. Currently, the prison is a national museum, daily there goes a ferry with an excursion group. And although this place has become the common property, at the entrance to the prison territory goosebumps run from the stories of the guide and the thoughts that the most dangerous criminals from all over America had been detained there not so long ago.
Prison Vologda nickel. Russia
The most cruel prison in Russia is the Vologda nickel. This prison is a domestic version of the American Alcatraz. It is isolated from the rest of the world by a cold northern lake. It contains all the most dangerous criminals in Russia who have committed especially serious crimes and sentenced to maximum prison terms. In this prison, criminals are not subjected to violence, but the conditions here are quite harsh - constant cold, lack of necessary conditions in the cells, inadequate food drive one crazy, lead to mass psychosis and degeneration. Most prisoners earn schizophrenia for several years or try to commit suicide by not sustaining the psychological pressure inside the walls of this prison.
Prison ADX . USA
Built in 1994, it has already received the title of the most brutal prison in which foreign terrorists are held. The creators dubbed it the place of "bringing pain and inhuman suffering." It was built and designed in such a way that every prisoner was completely isolated from his roommates. In addition, she is famous for her strict prison regime. They are given 9 hours a week for a walk, they spend the rest of the time in their cells, and it turns out that they see sunlight only a few hours a day. More than once there were cases when warders beat prisoners half to death for their disobedience. This prison is the most impregnable in the world!
Prison La Sante . Paris
Paris prisons are famous for their comfort and convenience for prisoners, but Sante is a big exception. The prison is located in the city limits of Paris. Particular attention is paid to protection. Therefore, the rigor of this prison is famous throughout the world. Built in the mid-20th century, it is designed to contain serial killers, terrorists, maniacs and other especially dangerous criminals. The prison is notable for its unsanitary conditions and cruelty towards prisoners, especially in recent years after the successful escape of the Spanish terrorist, who managed to not only quietly get out, but also remain uncaught in the following years. Of course, there are more cruel prisons in the world, but in this regard the prisoners are too aggressive on the part of the overseers.
Bangkwang Prison. Thailand
Bangkwang is on the list of the 10 most cruel prisons in the world due to the fact that the prison, figuratively speaking, "eats people alive." Translated from Thai, Bangkwang means "Big Tiger" - it is famous for its cruelty and conditions of detention. All who fall into this prison are sentenced either to life imprisonment or to death. Nobody has come out of it yet alive. If all those sentenced do not die, they go crazy with the situation. This prison was opened in 1931. Initially, it was designed for 4,000 people, but today the Bangkwang is almost twice as crowded - now more than 7,500 people are in prison. Prisoners are in their cells for more than 14 hours a day. In one cell can be more than 25 people.
Shipment Prison Butyrka. Russia
This is one of the most famous prisons in the Russian Federation, located in the capital of the country - in Moscow. Its existence began as far back as the 19th century. Today it is one of the largest and most strict pre-trial detention centers in the Russian Federation. Post-war Butyrka was the largest prison in the city. She became central to all the most inveterate rebels in the state. Today, about 3,000 people are kept there. Also in Butyrka is the very Sixth Corridor, or the suicide corridor. At least 3 cases of suicide happen in a week, someone is saved, someone is not.
The rest are the most cruel and dangerous prisons
So, having examined the most cruel prisons in the world, the photos of which we also saw, we can list the remaining 15, the most suitable for the description of this list. These are:
- The Stanley Prison, located in Hong Kong, opened in 1937.
- Montelupich Prison in Poland, opened in the pre-war period.
- Vladimir Central, located in Russia (in its original form - a prison for political prisoners).
- Kamiti Prison, located in China, is one of the most high-profile prisons in the country.
- Nairobi is a prison in Kenya, one of the most crowded in the world.
- Black Beach, or Black Beach, is a prison located in Equatorial Guinea. It is famous for the cruelty of guards and maintenance personnel.
- San Juan de Lurigancho, located in Peru. Has a pretty bad reputation due to licentiousness of prisoners - they have too much freedom.
- San Quentin in California - designed for suicide bombers.
- Guitarama Central Prison. Located in Rwanda. This is the hottest prison in the world.
- El Rodeo Prison, located in Venezuela. There are 50,000 prisoners in jail. It is one of the largest prisons in the world.

- La Sabanieta Prison, located in Venezuela, is one of the most violent detention facilities in South America.
- The Black Dolphin Prison in Russia is intended for life-sentenced citizens.
On this list of the most dangerous prisons can be completed. We found out what the most cruel prison in Russia, the USA and other countries of our world. All of them are quite dangerous both for the prisoners themselves and for the personnel working in them. Ordinary citizens are better off staying away from such a place. Finishing the rating of the most dangerous prisons in the world, it is probably worth highlighting another, very remarkable prison, the name of which Valley is the most cruel female prison in the world.
Valley Women's Prison . Hell for women
This prison contains prisoners from all over America. Its peculiarity is that there is not a single male prisoner in it. All prisoners are women sentenced to long sentences or the death penalty. The constant skirmishes between the ladies held here and the further punishment for them make this prison incredibly cruel. Although some women return to freedom, many never leave the walls of this correctional institution. Valley is the world's most violent prison for women.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I would like to say that no matter how the most cruel prison in the world is called, each is created with one purpose - to educate and correct even the most uncorrectable people. Prisoners, being in such hard places of detention, are capable of only two things: to understand their mistakes or die within the walls of places of detention. As they say, prisons for especially dangerous criminals are places forgotten by God, very terrible things can happen in them, and therefore it is definitely impossible to assign this or that prison the title of “The Most Cruel Prison in the World”. The most cruel does not happen - they are all cruel in their own way, and they all have their own untold and unwritten secrets, which humanity will probably not be destined to learn.
