I decided to make a thread discussing some of the most infamous prisons not just here in the states but all over the world, they may be current operating prisons and also former prisons.
This thread makes sense since this is a crime forum and Prisons are useful to keep criminals in, but also prisons themselves become infamous in reputation for their history. So sound away everyone 😊.

I'm not sure how much I can participate in this thread since I'm not a prison expert besides occasionally watching Lockup on MSNBC LOL. I just know the general ones with the reps like Folsom, Sing Sing, etc... that being said American prisoners have no idea how good they have it compared to prisons in other parts of the world. |

It's all good, still I appreciate your posts Scumhunter 😊. Now in the states there is San Quentin, ADX in Florence, Colorado, Former prison Eastern State penitentiary in Pennsylvania. But none are like the prison I'm about to discuss. Now this prison has been talked about in another thread, but here I'll discuss it in detail.  In the image above used to be a high school before 1975, but was used by the Khmer Rouge government as a prison from the fall of Phnom Penh in 1975, until the Vietnamese invasion in 1979. Known as Tuol Sleng or Security Prison 21 (S-21). Located outside the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh, the prison housed almost 20,000 inmates from 1975-1979 and during each hour, had about 1,500 inmates. When the prisoners arrived they had their mugshot taken and then would be stripped of their clothing and possessions, and give accounts of their lives from their earliest memory until their detention. The prison was very brutal, the methods were even brutal as they had no ammunition. The prison was used for executing members of the Lon Nol government, including soldiers, government officials, also academics, doctors, teachers, students, factory workers, monks, engineers, Khmer Rouge party member when the paranoia became overwhelming, and sadly even entire families which included babies. Today the prison is a museum, dedicated to the events of the Cambodian genocide in which approximately 2,500,000 of 8,000,000(1975) of Cambodia's population lost their lives. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuol_Sleng_Genocide_Museum# |
