RUSSIA'S ALCATRAZ - The toughest prison on Fire Island | Full Documentary

Aint no gangs running this prison. Period. This is how it should be.

The officer is showing around like he is in mtv cribs

“I love my life, and I don’t want to lose it” I’m sure your victim didn’t want to either.

The guy who killed that woman by putting his hands up her privates and pulling out her internals is one of the worst things I've heard. And instead of taking responsibility, he blames his sick mind on "Spice"! The only thing it did was amplify his savagery.

Nobody who gets a life sentence in Russia has ever gotten out. THAT is what a REAL life sentence is!

In America: You do the time. In Russia: Time does you.

You can tell Igor, the Prison Director, gets mad respect. When he comes walking by everyone parts, like the Red Sea. He commands respect without lifting his voice or hand as BodyPillow was explaining.

Here in the U.S people make too many excuses for Dangerous criminals . I have gotten sick of it

"Tiny, inhuman cages..." Yeah, for people who commit inhuman acts. Don't look for any tears from me.

I like how Russia makes a life sentence a true life sentence.

The Deputy Governor is definitely the right man for the job. This is a different kind of toughness, but still keeping humanity that is required. For most of us, it's too much to do something like this. It takes a very exact kind of man to do this work. He should be praised for it because to do this day after day, it has to be so heavy.

I like the prison. Secure, safe, clean, well organized.

I notice that when the guards tell the prisoners to do something, they do it almost immediately. They actually seem genuinely scared of the guards.

It's awesome that the prisoner that works has to give his pay to the victims family. This is how it should be in America.

No prison gangs, not a single escape on record, total fear on the face of every inmate when the guards roll by, this is how Western prisons should aspire to be.

for a prison that deals with people with this level of offence it's amazingly orderly and respectful of human dignity. the worst thing would be remembering what you did and knowing that you're never going to leave.

Being a prison guard living in that village would be like a prison sentence in itself

The deputy looks like a man who does not tolerate any nonsense from anyone

Tbh this prison looks extremely clean, organized, well equipped with an elaborate medical staff, and even respects the prisoners rights to privacy when showering "cameras in bathrooms are against the law, and we even respect that here, in prison". I'm actually really impressed because, if you compare this with the Supermax in Colorado, this prison looks far more orderly and comparably less scary, imo. And yet the narrator constantly says "inhumane this, inhumane that". I'm just not seeing it, in comparison with the worst prisons here in America anyway.

That Prison Governor seems like the perfect kind of person for that position.
