Gorgona is a secluded prison island off the coast of Italy, housing around a hundred serious criminals in a highly controlled environment. Inmates are confined at night but work hard on the island's plantation during the day. The prison employs unarmed guards and a sophisticated surveillance system to maintain security and swiftly address any disobedience. Inmates who do not comply face immediate transfer to overcrowded mainland detention centers. Gorgona exemplifies the balance between rehabilitation and punishment, providing insight into the lives of its residents.
@ of course it counts. Possible something to lost in translation? I don’t know to be honest. I will try and find out and thank you for pointing that out. Maybe we can do a doc on this Norwegian Island Prison
Cant take anyone with your name seriously man.... The fact you bought into a con artists lies so hard you trash your fellow citizens just means you cannot and should not be trusted anymore.
What are you talking about? They're talking about the last resident on the island has passed. I think you meant to put this comment in another place. Bc it has nothing to do with this comment. @@RubbishFPS
I often think we should have island prisons all over the world. The prisoners have to work to live and learn responsibility and find self worth in making it all work without being locked up 23 hours a day in a 6x8 cell.
It's not possible, though. Island prisons were created to keep the worst individuals away from any chance of regaining liberty, but we don't have that many islands we can simply sacrifice to this, nor the means we wish to jnvest. A lot of islands that are inhabitable also happen to be tiny pradises on earth we're not sacrificing to make a prison when it can generate billions of dollars as a touristic attraction. There's also the issue of having prisoners kept close to family. If they're not individuals who committed the most cruel acts it's unreasonable to keep the families away or making it too difficult for family to see them and keep them humane and willing to rehabilitate.
Great documentary.Definitely my kind of prison an open one.I was in one in the UK and was working with horses and I enjoyed it so much I didn't want to leave.Did it rehabilitate me no it didn't.That was back in the 80s and now I'm an old 'ish old man but enjoyed it all I must say
This is very interesting to watch because you can change if you want to to have a better life when you get out of prison then it is up to the individual them selves
i am from Romania there are no roads here like the ones filmed in Africa or South America... maybe a few but they are short... be real we live better than a lot of countries trust me
@ Oh absolutely. Roads in Europe are generally pretty good. It’s still a good excuse to feature different parts of the world. Romania is a beautiful amazing country. We should go there
@@FreeDocumentary we have a lot of old churches you could film Transalpina and Transfagarasan wich are 2 stunning mountain roads... Top Gear filmed there
This prison is a perfect place to make a movie not only a movie maybe a escape with announce off water surrounded the land and all the boats in the area as well take about it.
Crazy fact tyhey can move freely and no walls no weapon and so little guards if they really want thbey could organize plan to overpower them, this is madness they re too vulerable
@Fluttergirl that part of us not being in EU is correct, but we are still a part of Europa, and to the fact that he says Europe and not the european union. Makes me standing uncorrected 🤷
@ Fair enough. I posted before I looked at your profile and discovered that you actually live in Norway. I apologize for my mistake and thank you for the gift of knowledge. :)
The prisoners make the wine and arnt allowed to drink it well if you believe that you would believe anything.There bound to have spins though where they look for contraband hide and seek then init

The Honduran government will be building one on La Isla del Cisne( Swan Island) on the Caribbean Sea !!
Last remaining prison island??? So, Bastø in Norway does not count???
@ of course it counts. Possible something to lost in translation? I don’t know to be honest. I will try and find out and thank you for pointing that out. Maybe we can do a doc on this Norwegian Island Prison
Bastoy in Norway is a prison island too?
@ yes we’ve established that thank you
This is honestly a fantastic idea for what prisons could and should be. We should be doing this in the USA

Thanks for uploading a New episode, upload some more 🎉
Wow this is a resort at best lol - I would pay money to stay at this place
For sure dog
Yeah, it’s beautiful.
That's the second most stupidest comment I've ever read
Noone does documentaries like FD. See them like FedEx: they always deliver. Always.
awww. Thank you! Your comment is much appreciated 🎈
This place is a resort compared to Madagascar and Haiti!
Its a resort compared to a lot of places
Madagascar i nr1 in terms of being worse
Or Eritrea
This is very interesting to watch because you can change if you want to to have a better life when you get out of prison then it is up to the individual them selves
Italy is one of the most beautiful countries in the world so much so, I’d even go to this prison, if I could, for a vacation. 🙂
up
Africa is better than Europe
That's one of the stupidest comments I've ever read
Yes, I watched it previously !
The Kitchen scene reminds me of "Goodfellas" lol.
First thing I thought about 😂
Me as well @@mikeisaacs2314
I hope we get Romanian deadly road documentary soon! 👌🏻
it’s on our list😊
AGREE

Staring at the beautiful sea all day but not being able to swim would be a life sentence for me
Good upload indeed
Awesome documentary 😎👌🏻
Finland also has a prison on the island.
I love there gardens
2:40 old mate needs a beer lol
totally awesome
Really good. Do you ever do UK prisons?
yep. We’ve got a few. Check out our Behind Bars Playlist.
Judge: you will serve 5 yr here. Me: can I get life instead? 😂
Ditto. Can I just move in?
Seriously lol place was beautiful
@@Macrae92 yeah who would be scared of prison there? They got it better than most
@@philippal8666 yeah lol what bank do I have to hit to go on this vacation 😂
@@chris__211 any Italian ones that press charges.
Imagine the prisoners in an El Salvador prison watching this😳🙈🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣
best prison i see
The other Island 🏝 🇧🇬 in Bulgaria is BELENE on the Danube River... with a Prison/ Zatvor Belene...
its like a vacation on the exotic island :))
very nice place 😊
2:15 DUDE, it's the narrator from Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love kurzgesagt
Deberían de hacer sus documentales en español. Agarrarían mas vistas.
@kirsten601no need to be rude! English isn't everyone's first language!🙄 No need to be a hateful Richard cerebrum!
I'm sorry someone was so rude to you. Some only think of themselves and could careless about others! Tag them and ask if they could do that.
Learn English
@@Nursing1988I agree. There is no reason to be rude.

Seems very secure 🔐

Aca en Colombia también tenemos una gorgona que fue una isla cárcel
We need to bring back Alcatraz!!!
Crazy fact tyhey can move freely and no walls no weapon and so little guards if they really want thbey could organize plan to overpower them, this is madness they re too vulerable
150 years and it’s never happened
I would really lk u all to make 1 behind bars in Trinidad. Just want to c wat really goes on they
Complaining about gaining weight in the damn prison.... Wow...
I need to know how to go to Prison there.
The jolly music as the man processes the orders for the prisoners....hmmm
Co musím udělat, abych se tam dostal? 👌🧐
I was just thinking the same thing 🙈😳🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣
I want to live there and play cards, sunset fires, good swimming, no supermarkets. Lock me up
Hi
36:02 - check the liquor in the prison supermarket!
And they said at 34:24 that the inmates aren't allowed to drink alchohol!
No liquor just wine, as it is a cultural thing.
Can I go live there please?
This prison place is similarly to San Francisco, california u.s.a. Alcatraz prison, there’s no escape except the sea surrounding it.
It’s similar only in terms of accessibility. I’ve visited Alcatraz. It’s a damp rock. Even when the sun is shining. This prison is beautiful.
good place to just chill out
That's the third most stupidest comment I've ever read
@johnnythejeweler6096 you are a cartoon at heart. think about that.
Good documentary but spoiled by too much dramatic music
I wonder if they get paid more money if they live on the island
"Europas last prison island"
Well, that is wrong. We have a operational prison island here in Norway as well, named Bastøy 🤷
Norway isn’t a part of the EU. It’s in the EEA.
@Fluttergirl that part of us not being in EU is correct, but we are still a part of Europa, and to the fact that he says Europe and not the european union. Makes me standing uncorrected 🤷
@ Fair enough. I posted before I looked at your profile and discovered that you actually live in Norway. I apologize for my mistake and thank you for the gift of knowledge. :)
If I was there I'd build me a secret boat and sail away even if it took me 20 years to build it 😂
The prisoners make the wine and arnt allowed to drink it well if you believe that you would believe anything.There bound to have spins though where they look for contraband hide and seek then init
I thought this was like Rikersd island a big ship
I'm just wondering what that 1 woman citizen on the island does for work, there.
And yet they say canada prisons are a joke with TV,s and gyms...Jeezus christ , its a freiking resort not a jail.
Report for what..how will anyone escape this island
It's a holiday camp for convicted felons...certainly not a supermax like Florence, colorado, usa
Tje caption of the boat looks putin
Thought the same 😂
Many of hotels in my country have less facilities and luxury, which could be compared with this prison.
Hardly
Could go a holiday there no problem 😂
They eat better than I can afford to. Damn American government
They have it made over there too much freedom.
No one escaped, probably bcs they don't want to. What a pleasure to serve time with those views
is it just me or if given a choice religion or freedom prisoners choose the latter
Population 100 working alot outside of an island doesn't seem so bad ( for prison)
Lose the dumb music.
just my personal view on the church section.
Me? Gorgona
Jus imagine a boat full of women lost and decided to camp out there 😂😂
Hotel Guardian Angels
Stop with the AI narrarators we all hate it
Hate is a rather strong word innit
I only hate two persons; Hvaldimir Putrin and Saatan Lusifer.
But I can absolutely say I don't really care for AI narrations...

That's a 5 star hotel in kenya
This is not an ai narrator....
This is not AI this guy has been narrating for like 20 years.... This generation is wild
