In the desolate expanse near Russia’s border with Kazakhstan lies a prison shrouded in darkness and infamy – Black Dolphin Prison, also known as penal colony Number 6.<\/p>\n
This grim facility is reserved exclusively for the nation’s most notorious and dangerous criminals, a nightmarish collection that includes serial killers, cannibals, paedophiles and Chechen terrorists.<\/p>\n
Black Dolphin deserves its reputation as the world’s worst prison, where inmates are subjected to unparalleled levels of surveillance and isolation.<\/p>\n
The prison derives its ominous name from a unique source\u2014the dolphin sculpture created by the inmates that stands solemnly at the prison’s entrance.<\/p>\n
This seemingly incongruent symbol serves as a stark reminder of the paradoxical nature within the prison’s walls, where creativity and darkness coexist.<\/p>\n

Inmates are confined to 50-square-foot cells, each shared by two individuals.<\/p>\n These cells are secluded behind three sets of imposing steel doors, creating an environment of extreme isolation. The prisoners are granted a mere 90 minutes per day in a desolate concrete exercise yard, providing them with a fleeting glimpse of the outside world.<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> Transportation within the facility is an ordeal in itself. If an inmate needs to move, they are subjected to a strict protocol. Handcuffed, blindfolded, and forced to walk bent over, prisoners are deliberately kept unaware of the prison’s layout.<\/p>\n This unusual technique is believed to be exclusive to Black Dolphin, designed to prevent any form of interaction between inmates or potential overpowering of guards during transit.<\/p>\n The prison’s reputation extends beyond its physical confines, casting a shadow over the entire penal system.<\/p>\n Black Dolphin stands as a testament to Russia’s unwavering commitment to containing its most dangerous criminals, even at the cost of implementing extreme measures that raise ethical questions.<\/p>\n
