Very Interesting.

The very title of this documentary explains just what you are in for. This is basically a review of three very tough prisons in Russia which have over the years housed millions of inmates.

The escapes in each of these are in binary figures 0,1,0..

Those who escape get out lawfully, are either acquitted in a retrial.

This short documentary also takes brief interviews of men who have committed a lot of wrong.

It was interesting to see what the Russians tattooed prisoners had, represented.

Very intriguing and well documentary.

Life in cold Russia is difficult as is, but to see people confined to such intimate surroundings was a surreal experience.

Russian Prisons

This is the way a prison system is to work. North Korea has a 25% exit rate. Why does this Country have a Prison system that is better and more expensive? Why does a person sit on Death Row for YEARS? Rehabilitation is an outright joke. 85% of jail release go right back in. Should our system allow for special diets, cable TV, Law libraries, and for Heaven's sake, physical fitness programs?
