This maximum-security jail in the United States is also known as ADX Florence, Florence ADMAX, Supermax, or the Alcatraz of the Rockies. This prison, which opened in 1994, is home to some of the world's most dangerous criminals, including Ted Kaczynski (the Unabomber), Ramzi Yousef, and others (responsible for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing). Inmates at this prison spend 23 hours a day in their 7-by-12-foot concrete cells in solitary confinement.

| |
| The Hoeryong Concentration Camp, also known as Camp 22, has been in operation since 1965, but its existence was kept hidden for decades before satellite imagery of the facility became public. Prisoners are malnourished, beaten, and forced to work 10-12 hours a day, seven days a week in fields and mines. [([[https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/33611477.pdf|Anti-Slavery]])] |

| ==== Gitarama Prison, Rwanda ==== |
| |
| Gitarama, the world's most overcrowded jail, houses over 7,000 inmates in a building designed to accommodate just 500. Owing to the extreme overcrowding, these men and women are forced to stand barefoot on dirty ground for long periods of time, causing their feet to rot. Many require amputations, but most inmates are unable to obtain the care they require, resulting in half a dozen deaths each day.
