People in the booth are closely watching everything that happens and are heavily armed and also mention that they can only leave their cell for one hour each day.

This prison established in 1852 is California’s oldest prison although it’s not currently being used this is one of a few prisons in the U.S. that actually has a gas chamber. All executions in California by law must have a career at Stan Quinton. Vance appears to be an ongoing problem here and doesn’t seem like he’ll be ending it anytime soon.
Some of the nation’s most gruesome and diabolical serial killers spend the rest of their days riding captivity here. This includes murderers like Chester Turner responsible for 15 women in the Los Angeles area.

The location of that room is classified from 2003 to 2006, the CIA utilized a part of Guantanamo which housed prisoners who they would try to recruit spies against al-Qaeda. It would definitely not be an easy prison to escape from and not a fun place to get stationed at unless you like waterboarding.
Castel Sant’ Angelo
It was at one point the tallest building in Rome and was used as a mausoleum for Emperor Hadrian. This leader of Rome constructed many great structures in the Roman Empire and then passed away at his villa and by II, his ashes were placed here but much looting of the mausoleum took place from the barbarians from the north sack Rome.

Protesters at Tiananmen square in 1983 Shirley ended up at this Chinese supermax prison as well as high-ranking officials that were accused of corruption. It was originally constructed for war criminals and Russia had even helped out with some advice on how to build it.
Prisoners here might be asked to do some hard labor which seemed as a proper alternative to execution but still happened as well. In fact, China has capital punishment and they use it more often than any other country. However, in order to have communism not seem like a bad thing they decided to reduce the number of political prisoner capital punishment.
