Prison is Prison.
No matter what they do, there will always be a way to get whatever your heart desires in there.

Just a FACT....

I was a video a long time ago about this prison...no guards a lawless society all within itself. The most bizarre prison in the world.

Two hundred years ago, British philosophy and social reformer, Jeremy Bentham theorized about the Panopticon. It was a new kind of prison. Imagine a cylinder standing on it's end. Now imagine it as a building design. Along the walls are cells with open fronts to the inside. In each cell would be four inmates. At the core is a tower with covered windows. Guards are in the tower and can see out the windows but the inmates can't see the guards. Now the guards can see everything the inmates do, everything. Once an inmate has broken the rules the guards react by beating everyone inside the cell even if only one inmate was offending. After a time, the other inmates would police the other inmates to avoid punishment. After some time guards could be removed because the inmates are handling punishment on their own. The inmates would not know if there were guards watching behind the shuttered windows. They would react as if there was.

Oddly, 150 years later, leftist philosophy Michele Foucalt would use this example to explain what came to be known as political correctness. People, particularly celebrities, would modify their behavior on the assumption that their actions and words were being monitored by their peers who would punish them if they stepped out of line. Foucalt was fearful of political correctness.

A prison in Cuba was constructed exactly as that described above.

Used for the Fidel regime.

Now abandoned.
