Ekvator Guinea’s Black Beach Prison and Vladimir Prison in Russia are two notorious prisons known for their inhumane conditions. The Black Beach Prison has been observed by Amnesty International, which reported that the conditions there are far from humane, and inmates suffer from slow and painful deaths. There are instances where prisoners went without food for six days. The President of Equatorial Guinea, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, who has been serving since 1979, was once a prison warden in this notorious prison.
Vladimir Prison in Russia, built during the reign of Catherine the Great, is famous for its uniforms, which were brought from Nazi concentration camps in Poland after World War II. Today, the uniforms are still displayed in the same design. The prison, which houses six prisoners in one cell, is known for its high prevalence of AIDS and tuberculosis. A portion of the prison is used for tourism, and another portion is used to house prisoners in poor conditions.
Camp 1391 in Israel, also known as the Guantanamo of Israel, was built by the British Mandate for Arabs and Jews who rebelled against colonial rule. The prison is known for its use of sexual harassment and rape as a means of interrogation. The worst part for inmates is the sense of isolation and uncertainty, which some have described as feeling like they are the only person in the prison.
La Sabaneta in Venezuela is known for its constant uprisings and killings. In 2012, 591 prisoners were killed, and in September 2013, a raid resulted in 16 deaths. The government forces found 22,000 bullets, guns, rifles, marijuana, and cocaine, as well as tunnels used for hiding these things.
