Over hundreds of years, prisons have evolved from a traditional point of view as well as a popular culture, becoming themes for many films and books. Depending on the seriousness of the action taken by a certain individual, he or she is sentenced to a juvenile prison, psychiatric prison, or minimum, medium or maximum security prison. But the question is: where are the world's most notorious and dangerous criminals sent? For this, there are the so-called maximum security prisons that aim to guarantee the total isolation of the convicted individual, without the possibility of escape or return to society.

It was a veritable fortress located on an island, and escaping meant that the weaker detainee would have to swim 1.5 miles to the nearest coast.
