RUSSIA'S ALCATRAZ - The toughest prison on Fire Island | Full Documentary
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2020
- Behind bars in Russia is no fun - in our Documentary about Russia's toughest prison we show why! Terrorists, gunmen and mafia bosses are serving their life sentences in the Russian penal camp "Vologodski Pjatak". The fortress on the island of Ognenny was built as a monastery in the 16th century. Later the "Fire Island" was converted into a gulag for enemies of the state after the October Revolution of 1917. Since 1994 it is a maximum security prison for serious criminals. Christoph Wanner is the first western TV reporter to manage to shoot behind the prison walls on the island of the damned.

@@TekoKYLO if you said that in any prison you would be killed
Aint no gangs running this prison. Period. This is how it should be.
The reason for that is VERY simple. Theres no segregation.
Because they only have like 190 people lol

100%
Ballsh**, their guards are the worst in Russia - it is called Красная Зона or Сучья
“I love my life, and I don’t want to lose it”
I’m sure your victim didn’t want to either.
If you watch their interviews many of them even don’t regret
@@linanovaya such criminals are often psychopaths or antisocial so they are incapable of feeling empathy or remorse
Spice will serious fuck up peoples brains. How drs. Oils say he had his faculties if he was on spice is kinda crazy.
And your point is? What has it to do with the victim?
@@konyvnyelv. Work on your English.
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.
Fear and respect aren't the same thing.

..yes my man...its same thing with all "ex" communist country's,but Russia is leading for sure...you cant imagine what respect and fear you get if you are communist officer or something like that,even the lowest ranks....its military type of prison AND punishment is military style...which means you die no one knows (thats easy punishment,if they respect you)...,we brake all your teeth and now you cant eat,only soup,no visitors,no letters and you live like that until you die...you can see how inmates are behave,they answer any question,they will co operate...they know my brother,they know..... you will co operate...
...there is one island in my country...but in the middle of sea,always sunny,always hot,nothing but hot rocks underneath you and Sun above....its called Goli Otok...sickening story's...it thrived during communism,now its closed...bcs,its like violent,non human...but...dont do criminal things...

@@zoranpribanic2083 in America those wankers will be sentenced to death, but maybe is much better....the worst place is Guantanamo, real hell...
In Mexico you out of there
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.
That's because you will be beaten to within an inch of your life if you disobey or show attitude. Russian guards are known for their brutality.
Where are the gang's?
In Russia guards are the top and only gang.

@@yourintrouble6296 Meh theres a duality at play there. As much as that may be true at the same time I have seen what is happening in the west and can't help but admire some of this.
Suicidal altruism and tolerance can be just as destructive and violent as any other totalitarian regime. The only difference is one has better marketing is all.
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.
Thats not true. Drugs make you do crazy things
Nevermind spice...you know what alcohol helps people do...
Right. I can't stand when people blame mind altering substances for actions like this, be it "spice", meth or alcohol. The vast majority of people who take drugs have never done anything like this and will never do anything like this. You have to have that depravity IN YOU from the beginning, regardless if you're drunk on alcohol or high on "spice" when you did the act.
@Liverpool5095 you're so unbelievably wrong it isn't funny. Drugs and alcohol mess up with your brain chemistry
That's hot
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.
Nobody who gets a life sentence in Russia has ever gotten out. THAT is what a REAL life sentence is!
Life should mean life.
It’s almost as if 25 years is a way of giving these coconuts hope even feeling sorry for them, life for a life is only fare.
Crazy. In New Zealand a 'life' sentence is somewhere around 21 years.
@@Beef_Supreeeme another forgiving state toward killers
I disagree. I believe everyone deserves a chance to improve. Even people who have committed horrific crimes. I like the norway prison system, they give degrees in the prison, when a person gets out they are job ready. Thats what a real prison system should be, they spend 160,000$ per prisoner an year. And this is why they have the lowest crime rates in the world. Treat a man like a man, he acts like a man. Treat a man like an animal, you get an animal. Simple as.
Being a prison guard living in that village would be like a prison sentence in itself

My country isn't soo poor, we just have very difficult climate and weather. Next time you will be know why in Russia something not like your country.
Here in the U.S people make too many excuses for Dangerous criminals . I have gotten sick of it
All by design.
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.
human dignity, really? are you out of your mind? also, the "amazing order" is because of fear and serious punishments.
Human dignity?.?? Russian prisons are known for extortion of prisoners and their families. Brutal beatings and torture. No dignity here
@@gordonlekfors2708What violations of human dignity are you talking about? there are no people in this prison. Are you suggesting they give them a smoothie and salmon toast every morning? we have a song about this prison with the lines
“Imagine, brothers, that a dolphin has walls
Long corridors, windows, bars, stucco
And people with their backs up, well, like dolphins
On an eternal voyage for evil deeds
It is not customary to count days, count years
And there is no second call - the messenger of freedom
The most daring sinners will break down there
Vile ones whose tears are all tastless
It's all weekdays there, there's blood on all hands"

@@julianh2358 , I raised my son with tough love. He understood that if he did the crime, he would do the time. I love him with all my heart but wouldn’t step in to help if he did wrong, he knew/knows where I stand with the law. He got into a bit of trouble when he was young and had to spend a bit of time locked up. He got one visit from me and knew not to ask for bail. He very much respected that and after his ‘lesson’ , he didn’t get into any more trouble. He also respects the fact that the only time that he would take a life is if he or his family’s life depended on it.

I like the prison. Secure, safe, clean, well organized.
Yeah it's cleaner than any tax office or voting booth I've ever seen *cleaner than most dentists I've been to* Russia has something going for it don't it 😂
The inmates eat better than most free Americans. Soup with grains, greens, potatoes and fish. Tuna salad, pasta and fresh baked bread. Proper diet makes people behave better. It's not just quantity that matters, quality does too. GMO and fast food causes people to act crazy.
After watching shit like this I always have to go get some food and a beer and sit in my back yard and appreciate my freedom.

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.

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

The guy that disemboweled his girlfriend shouldn't ever be considered for release. That is especially heinous and disturbing.
He's hoping to get out in 25 years since he says he was on spice and wasn't himself so that should be considered a "special circumstance" Okay, right...
from his re-enactment, looks like she was still alive as he did so. He'll never be released.
And he was a child predator before....

I love how they give them hope of maybe getting out on parole after 25 years, while no one has ever gotten out on parole.
Life sentence exists in Russia since 1999. So nobody has spent 25 years so far (2021) = nobody has been released yet.
Before 1999 there was capital punishment in Russia (execution via shooting in head)
Because they freeze and starve them to death first....
Without hope, what else is there to look forward to?
6 people sentenced to life imprisonment were pardoned by the President of Russia.
6 life sentenced people got out on parole in Russia. It's not many but still not a zero

Calling this yard area 'inhuman' s ridiculous. Compared to yanking someone's insides out of their body, along with rape and murder those are 'inhuman'.
@ora et labora bruh nobody here talkin about abortion. A fetus is not a conscious human being. A functioning human, that has actually spent time on this earth walking around, getting disembowled is a completely different context than a fetus with no brain getting canned.
I agree with his sentence. She was someone's daughter... someone's sister. He can't be out.
They’re both inhuman quit being dense
You should be more careful with your words.
They've done cruel things. So cruel that I genuinely doubt many of us here could've even imagined such acts before watching this. The notion that they deserve to be punished is beyond reproach.
However, you must *never* forget that they are, before anything else, human. They are a human being, just like you and me. Evil exists in this world and they fell to its temptation, that doesn't mean that anyone here is incapable of doing what _they_ have done if we were put in different circumstances. The minute we see some group of people as "sub-human", regardless of circumstance, is the minute we ourselves lose our humanity.
Punish the wicked by delivering unto them justice. But remember that *justice* sees all men as *human.*
@ora et labora lmfao yeah in a certain trimester it developed a brain (at least some what) but you can also Google that you can't get a fucking abortion if there is a heart beat unless you (the mother) is about to die because of said fetus. So yeah. And also, a fetus is not conscious. That would mean you are aware of what you are doing and why you are doing it. A fetus can not think for itself because it's not fully formed dude. When it's born and has seen light and experience real world, then your conscious.
Would you say that someone that's brain dead is conscious? They got a brain and heart. Yet we pull the plug don't we. Everyone and everything dies dude. Has been that way since the dawn of time.

You could say that of any prison in any country. But it's fair to say that there are not many escape attempts or inmate infractions, based on this video. Any rights you get are at the discretion of the Warden.

Respect for the self sacrifice of the staff to dedicate their lives guarding these lifetimers, which requires themselves to live in such harsh and remote climate.
EDIT : some commented the guards can retire at 45 years of age. I wonder after how many years of service that is. Should you start when you are, say, 23yo? I still can't imagine wanting to spend my peak years in the ass-end of nowhere, in such weather. But that's coming from a city person.
if you knew the salary level, you would be even more surprised
The guards have wives and families. Can't imagine a single, childless man signing up for that duty. Having a wife makes any job tolerable. Plus they are in Russia, a far more Conservative nation.

The fact that the conditions didnt even look inhumane, they have own sells, they get food, they get to go out also and do work to even get 100 dollars a month which is impressive makes me think how good actually average wages are in russia since they can afford to even pay prisoners 100 dollars a month... How is that inhumane in any sense, in usa the prisoners would beat, rape, kill eachother in the jail and prison riots are not usual meanwhile in russia full peace and prisoners do work and follow the orders. And the fact that even the people who have done the worst crimes have the ability of parole in 25 years seals it all... Nothing inhumane
Could u imagine how crazy it would make u to be locked in a cell all day, not being able to even sit on ur bed, just walking in a circle. You would lose ur mind
No prisoner that harms a child should ever get released
then why not just kill him? is it more humane to keep a person in a cage until his last breath? Everyone deserves a second chance, and if a person is truly rehabilitated he should become a contributing member of society, keeping him in a cage has no positive aspects. Furthermore, by your comment im assuming you think that harming a child (not necessarily killing him) is worse than murder?, so a pedo is worse than a guy who murders a mom of a child or family?
"Kill it"
Those are not people.

Actually those who harm children are looked down upon by other prisoners in russia. If sent to a general standard prison they can expect to be treated below human. Downcast.

If we had prisons like this in America people would think twice about doing a committing a crime.
@David Christ he is inosent!!!
It wont make people think twice for spontaneous crimes.
For planned ones tho....
That's right, my friend, so we have a lot less mass murder in Russia than in other countries, because everyone knows that they will then rot all their life in prison and dream of death.
@David Christ umm most criminals are not sociopaths, there just regular people who did fucked up things but criminality is so vast yo can’t just say that. In any form of action there being a mass consequence ussally works as a good way to stop the action.
@David Christ gun crime is at an all time low, know why? Simply because more and more people are conceal carrying which means people who think about committing crime know that and abstain from it. Of course you will never have no crime in this world but when people know the consequences of their actions better they do not follow through with it.
Russian jails are not a joke and it makes America’s jail look like a tropical vacation!!
I wish we can transfer america's worst criminals to fire island in russia.

Sylvette Slavika
I heard from my filipino friend if you have much money in prison in the Philippines you can own a one cell and tv and refrigerator for yourself, but here in Japan my home town prison are very strict it’s like a military school you woke up 6am to prepare for work in the factory and tv has a limit and bath too the good thing here in Japan prison if life sentence you will be in prison for 20 years if you don’t have bad records or trouble you will be in parole program and will be in the program plus you will be given a new life to work in society again but not as white collar job it will be in blue collars job like in factory or in construction. That’s why in Japan the regular Japanese change life and never return to prison except for the people’s who are involved with drugs and yakuza means Japanese mafia. In Japan prison you will be given a change of life to start with from life sentences to light imprisonments they are all given a second chance to go back in society to start up new life and better living under by the government program.
Think I'd prefer to do my time here. At least you have order, and don't have to fear being stabbed or raped, unlike American prisons, where it's literally every man for himself, and if you ain't tough enough, you end up as some lunatics girlfriend

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.

I love how the prison is strict but human enough to allow privacy on the toilet from other inmates. That is how it should be. Going to the restroom in front of others sucks, like in American Jails.
In american prisons you can get killed while dumping a load aint no big deal pieces of shit must go no matter the place
Human enough like they were with their victims, yeah thats fair
🧐......And Uk 💯
I like how clean everything looks.
Yes, living here is better than in a common jail, but it is built for lifelong imprisonment which is worse than death
every single guard is so fine
This video so interesting..
I'm just glad the guy told me "the island is surrounded by water". I had no idea. Now I can sleep tonight.
Well it could have been surrounded by lava
I thought it was surrounded by fire
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Actually russians have cities they call islands, because they dont have roads leading to them or are surrounded by forests and the only way to get there is by air
@@PP-hu9wv wow. Now I can't sleep...
Finally a prison where...
... the punishment fits the crime.
Whether or not the punishment meets the crime is always a matter of opinion. Some people would like the punishment to be a carbon-copy of the crime. I was watching an american sentencing for a guy who beat his girlfriend's baby so badly that it died, and it kinda made me feel like the only fitting punishment would be to bring back 'breaking on the wheel.'
A prisoner in America was in the FBI's most wanted and he only served 5 years.

My friend had her throat cut so she can hardly speak (18 years later) along with being kidnaped by a stranger that saw her leaving a college class. He held her for 3 days cutting her thighs and her chest and finally her throat. The man was given 12 years. He got out after 4 and then murdered his niece. This is the USA system.
Horrible. All the best to your friend!

He played psycho?
How clean and neat all the medical rooms and bathrooms are. Not a broken tile or spot of rust or graffiti in sight.
Porcelain sinks and nice commodes
There is no smuggling, no greed by the guards, they all want to do it and make it miserable for the prisoners. Pasively. No noise, isolation and cold environemnt, shitty weather. You do not need to say a word or beat anyone
No hooch or shanks in sight
Because they will let beaten up for doing that. This isn't america
They only showed 1 renovated wing I wonder how therest looks. I know for sure that the food was good only bcz of camera crew
James Robertson, American prisoner in US, would probably love this place since he doesn't like being around anyone.
To be honest, these are very nice cells. Fairly large and private bathroom. What more could you want.... besides your freedom?
That's crazy how difficulty life is and yet thise guys manage to make their lives even worse.
The guards got the Drip though.
😂😂
Yes drip
Those hats are glorious 👀
Real talk they swaggin
That’s the first thing you notice about them?
I like how they put rivals gang members in the same cell they are told if one dies another rival member will replace him.
What a voice over artist ❤
You can tell the prisoners are terrified of the guards! That's how it should be! It's prison, not a gang riddled drug land!

I like how they keep lifers away from the other prisoners who are not doing life. They should do that here in the USA instead of letting them run lose in general population were they gather in gangs and cause chaos in the prison system. They should separate all murderers from the general population.
Ever heard of death row? Obviously not lmao what did u think it stood for
Murderers (especially serial killers) along with repeat violent sex offenders. Those people cannot often be reassimilated into human society anywhere.
The fkin Kardashianing are setting them free
@@dylanlevy2107 Not only is death row only for life sentences... But the prison system in America is over-flowing.
They are keeping federal inmates in local jailhouses, because they are so full. So, you are incorrect. 😕
The inmates run the prisons in America “ Not Russia!
ive watched this over 20 times its amazing -reality to some people that is
Very good patent🔍✔️
Russians know how to run prisons. Notice how much respect the prisoners have for the guards? You just know them guards don’t take any shit.
Prisons shouldnt be like this, they should be like prisons in Norway/Finland.
@@zoli604 I don't know if you're from either of those countries, but i'm finnish and I can tell you that the only reason why our prison system sort of works, is because our criminals are not very violent.

@@raskolnikov7049 where do violent criminals go?

It's simple, how tf you can escape from nowhere in Siberia that could kill you anytime.
not every russian prison is on an island
That's because the private prison system in america is a billion dollar industry. They're owned by individuals that are not named and generate much much income for their greedy asses. It's bs
you can use alaska for that. huge territory and harsh climate
The best thing is the rainbow coloured writing on the door :D
This is how all prisons should be run prison officers in control and inmates fear them not the other way around.
Yeah this must be the reason Russia is crime free and safe and cozy
@@karl4683 thank you / prison is all about rehabilitation how does this do anything other than send its inmates insane???
@Lee Harvey Oswald yeah ugh...your logic doesnt make sense, dont be a criminal and you wont have a reason to end up in prison
@@ShanesHQ Rehabilitation? What kind of rehabilitation are you talking about? A thief could be rehabilitated, a burglar could be rehabilitated, hell, even certain violent criminals could be rehabilitated, but someone, who rips out the internal organs of a girl with his bare hands could not. Those are the lowest type of scum who walk the Earth. In my country (which is not Russia, but another former Eastern Bloc country), those criminals, who committed violent or sexually motivated crimes against women, children or an elderly person are universally hated by guards and inmates alike, and therefore usually separated from the general prison population, for their own safety.
In the past, there were incidents, when regular inmates beaten these kinds of criminals to death, while the guards well... reacted slower than usual.
@@IGLArocknroll the guards do the same in My country
But only if the guards can get away with it
People talks to much you know 👊😉
Perfect setup. No wasted resources, no endless appeals, nothing to waste taxpayers money.
Put the filth to work or let them rot.
Either way, society benefits.
And how much do you think it costs per year to feed one inmate? How much each guard earns a year? How about prison maintenance? It would cost so much less money to just kill them.
@@juztinking8813 true... Even if the chow there probably costs fuck all... I've read a parliamentary report in France about average cost of an inmate here. It reaches 36500 € per year per inmate. Considering there are actually about 70000 incarcerated criminals in the country, it matches the budget of the penitentiary system which was about 2.7 BILLION euros in 2018...
BUT... from all those, only 483 are sentenced to life (which isn't really a life sentence in France anyway)... Which represents only a tiny fraction of the budget... But hey, I'm with you on this one, a buck saved is still a buck 😂
The Yorkshire ripper peter sutcliffe died a couple of days ago, he savagely bludgeoned prostitutes in his local area with a ball pein hammer and a screwdriver, I dread to think what he has cost the government in his care for all those years, total waste of resources which would have been better used in the upkeep of hospital, schools etc I just don't get it, hundreds of thousands of pounds, weigh that against the cost of a single bullet or 1 dose of lethal poison,no comparison is there? Spending all that money to me is like an insult/slap in the face to his victims families, I hope they get the chance to dance on his grave, burn in hell you evil shit bag.....
@@waynecrothers9441 I looked for it the other day and I found out that here (France) the average cost of an inmate per year in prison is about 42000 USD... I was amazed... A bullet sure costs way less... Problem is a very few of them are incarcerated for life... Well technically the justice system is so fucked up here, that with a life sentence, most of them are released after 22 years incarcerated. I also found out that real life sentence actually exists... Meaning actual real life without any possibility of parole, but there is only ONE INMATE actually carrying this sentence... ONE !!
Here you can actually rape, kill, do whatever the hell you want, if you're willing to spend 20 years tops in prison you can definitely go away with it. Life sentence here is a joke.
@@juztinking8813 Killing is too kind. Life imprisonment without parole is a far more just punishment as the perpetrator has to live with the results of their actions for an extended period.
That small mirror on the shelf would make a nice apple peeler.
Not saying that guy shouldn't be in prison, but anyone who can calmly describe how he tore the organs out of a live person sure as hell isn't of sound mind. I would love to hear the doctors rationale for this diagnosis.
Idk how the Russian system works, but maybe they use the same definition of 'sound mind' as the west: if they can understand the consequences of their actions and distinguish right from wrong, they're legally sane. Emphasis on the 'legally', because that guy definitely has a few screws loose...
I thought you just did.
What a dumb take
Listen if you're considered dangerous in Russia that must be saying something.

Why bother building a prison just build a camp they couldn't exactly escape to anywhere if they did manage to avoid big ass bears lepord seals there scary and the unrelenting cold it would be more effective than the thickest of prison walls and that howling wind there would drive there moral through the floor
That's actually great idea.
why build anything? just kill em. let the family of the victims or the victims themselves do the killing. they can do it however they want and make it last as long as they want, depending on how well they can control the bleeding and what kind of self control they have. put it on television and that way everyone can enjoy it.
