The map in this story is showing the island of Capraia, not Gorgona, which is more to the north. We apologize for the mistake.
Now this is rehabilitation.
How do i get here😂
I would not leave even when time is over
What did he do? Crime?
in german prisons they pay you 1 euro per hour
and italy pays them a normal wage ?
i hope this becomes a new norm…
this is amazing
Qvesti stanno meglio di me che non infrango la legge italica. Inaccettabile
Nothing new, Napoleon Bonaparte was sent to Elba.
As an Italian, I'm thinking about that 😂🤣
Rikers
You realise how little sense it makes that a spacious island with few selected inmates could solve the prison overpopulation problem, right?
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!
I am living in Piombino Just in front of Gorgona
Ma che bello! In vacanza dopo aver commesso omicidi
Shqipes po ja rrujn leshin😂
I bet Navalny would still be alive around here 😥
How to apply
They need to be punished and not rewarded this way 🤮
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
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
Club Med for inmates 🏖️☀️🌊
That's wonderful, rather punishment they work and that helps rehabilitate them. Great approach.
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
Mostly southenerners
In Albania 😂
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.
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.
They send here the "Friends of Friends" Who got caught
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)
Must be nice, must be nice. I guess crime does pay.
Humain right not an animal in a cage
0:32 – That island is NOT Gorgona, that's Capraia.
Gorgona in smaller, more North, basically in front of Livorno.
😂😂😮😮
20 years in prison? what have u done? 😂
io alle scuole superiori:
Che bello, fai il deliquente e ti porta al Mare allora conviene.
Free the Albanians
lol All Albanians.
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.
Sign me up baby Daaaaanaaaaa
It is better than Tokyo , New York or London
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.
Wait… I thought that was dismissed years ago… Is it still runnuing????
1:41 That's an unfinished Albanian tattoo
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).
Damn where can I sign up! 😂
