Russian prisons

Black dolphin prison is the biggest and most famous prison in Russia. The prison houses approximately 700 of the most serious criminals in Russia. The location of the prison is near the border of Kazakhstan and was first started in 1745 as a jail and for deportation of robbers. The Prison got its name by a fountain with a statue of a black dolphin, which was made by the prisoners. The prisoners are in Black dolphin prison are there for life. There is an average of five murders per inmate, which is a combined 3,500 people.Prison guards place blindfolds on arriving prisoners so that they can not map out the prison or plan escapes. Prisoners are also blindfolded whenever they are transported between buildings. The prisoners have little time to exercise and when they do they are placed in another cell and while they are doing that guards check their cells searching for dangerous things. The prisoners are kept under surveillance for 24 hours. The prisoners are fed chicken and soup four times a day. The prisoners live in a cell, inside a cell with two layers of bars. No prisoner has ever escaped the prison.
 In my opinion I think it's very interesting that Russia has one of the most highly guarded and unique prisons. It's very smart that the prison doesn't let their inmates see anything outside so they can't plan an escape. This has worked because no one has ever escaped and I found the Black Dolphin prison a very interesting topic in Russia
