  1. The map in this story is showing the island of Capraia, not Gorgona, which is more to the north. We apologize for the mistake.

  2. You realise how little sense it makes that a spacious island with few selected inmates could solve the prison overpopulation problem, right?

  3. I think life sentence prisoners should be sent to the moon or mars to start a colony! Better than spending rest of the life incarcerated ! And it will help the human race!

  4. We need to build more like this though … Rather telling i should work for this .. For attention to this kind of idea… And other thing that will hel

  5. Prison island in Italy: We will pay you wage, give you food and place to live
    The rest of the Italy: Bro, you haven`t paid your rent and utilities for 2 months already
    P.s why leave when life is easier there than real world, except free chance to travel

  6. Pianosa Is another prison island. No development allowed. Italy is financially broke but finances these small enclaves for prisoners. Doesn't help much to stimulate economic growth

  7. Being Italian myself I appreciate what they're trying to do here, but the fact that you could get 8 years for selling weed is an insanity that lead to our prisons being filled to the brim for no reason. Legalize cannabis and release prisoners incarcerated for non-violent weed dealing related crimes.

  8. So you kill someone, get sent to do what i already do for 8 years. While they have to do it for 20 years i have to do it for 50 more years until i retire.

  9. Fun fact: there are many protected species in the island !!!
    While on the cost of Livorno many thinks like Lobsters went extinct, the prison island nature of the place kind of protected them there XD

    Also "Pisa Merda"
    (Sorry, it's the battle cry of my people)

  10. vivono nella natura e lavorano la terra, allevano animali, o sistemano la struttura che ospita tutti gli altri. quindi lavori utili. definisci prigione. la mia routine lavorativa è piu prigioniera di questa.

  11. The problem in Italy is not the lack of work, but the salaries, if they pay you less than 800 euros a month, with today's expenses, it is almost normal to commit crime, also because let's remember that Berlusconi paid the mafia, the judges and the minors and he died free.

  12. I am a free person living in Turkey and these prisoners live a better life than I do.

    But this is mostly about how much my country sucks versus how good their prison is(although their prison is pretty nice ngl).
