Seems like paradise compared to the average prison.

Well done Italy, on a fantastic way of running an organised prison method which seems to tick every single box. I love the way every one is going about doing their jobs, with no sign of any one having a need to be rebellious or hard handed. The Island looks amazing too, love what they produce, and the hard work will make them healthy, wiser, and not get bored. Many thanks for the video of Gorgona, a place I never knew existed. 😎

Who would want to escape from this beautiful place? Healthy food, hard work outdoors, gorgeous views, lush vegetation…. Almost paradise!

These inmates have it better than most free men. The threat of being returned to the mainland prisons would be enough of an incentive to keep anyone in line.

Give respect, earn respect. I hope these men can go back into society and be well and live within in it. G'day from Australia.

That’s the youngest looking 95year old I’ve ever seen

Prison isn’t a walk in the park, but this seems very humane mentally as well as psychically . Even not having to wear prison uniforms is a plus. Certainly the food looks far superior than most prisons and it seems the men take pride in their work. At least they are paid something for their work and thus can buy extras. It looks way better and more respect shown than “60 Days In”.

Please Welt do more documentaries like this. Great work.

This really is a success story I wish all of them the very best of luck

Italian prison food is healthier than american organic food , Lol

Prison seems more like a resort with a bit of responsibilities

They made the jail seem dangerous and intense.. The prisoners are just chilling lol. Seems like a great place to serve time IMO

What a great documentary, I really liked it, thank you!

Thank you Gargonna.Owesome documentary 🙏 all the best for the prisoners. Switzerland 🇨🇭

This is a medium security prison by American or Brazilian standards. I am sure Italy has a pair of maximum security prisons or special handling unit prisons for particularly nasty gang affiliated thugs. All more power to the Italian justice system if they can reform criminals into good citizens again without resorting to extreme encarceration living conditions.

New subscriber. You have such an interesting variety of videos to choose from. Thank you for educating me💝

I've done time in Michigan and Colorado and believe me when I say that this place is a vacation Pete knows

The Italians even have a way to make a prison relatively, "La Dolce Vita."

Awesome documentary. Thank you

That view is spectacular ‼️

In Norway, we have a prison island called Bastøy, meaning you claim that Gorgona is Europe’s last prison island is incorrect.

Drinking game: Take a shot everytime the narrator says “Nelson Cancro”

😂 in African standards this is a holiday not a prison! 😊

When the History do alien shows, I go online to see more WELT Doc's. Great job by these guys.

This is NOT the last prison island in Europe, there is a prison island in Norway, called Bastøy kretsfengsel….

Gorgona my friend is a holiday resort! 14 hours a day free movement with or without work and 10 hours behind bars in cells that most people in many countries in the world envy!! Very good food, lots of work experience to be gained and courses to follow which at the end of the day is paid as well!! If a convict has the fortune to be placed there, he can (if behaved) live a decent till good life while he is there and have skills and a future when he is released!! NOT a prison in any way - shape or form!! Titel should be: "Last holiday resort for hardened criminals!"

Absolutely beautiful place!

What a beautiful place to be in prison!

Lifestyle and daily life. Thank❤

That's not a prison! That's a luxury resort.

Hello welt ...the best 😌

This is a great documentary,prisons should be a place of reforment and having prisons like these would give a better value to the society than those ones that operate based on hard conditions and severe violence,this prison sure does a great job and thanks also to the administration that runs this facility

Man I would have loved to have done my prison time in a place like this instead of the Drumheller Institution....

Most of them admit their crimes and take pride in saying they never hurt anyone physically

Blessings to you all 🙏 from 🇬🇧 hello to aunty ❤

This is like hotel 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wow! This "prison" is a holiday camp...I wouldn't mind a couple of weeks here myself. lol

I would take this island over Rikers Island any day of the week

"Welcome to paradise... sorry i mean prison..yes welcome to prison please enjoy your stay "

The American prison system would do well to adopt some these practices and programs, to reduce the recidivism rate of released prisoners. Our system is forever broken....

The men who are imprisoned on Gorgona and who work there do not have that wild animal look in their eyes that so many have in the cruel and overcrowded prisons that are designed only for inhumane punishment and torture.

If only there would be more prisons like this where humanity remains and prevails so ppl can actually have a chance for changing. The current prisons increase violence, solv nothing..if anything most inmates come out worse than when they first went in

This is very good documentary. I wish all the prisoners and staff the best. I hope the prisoners go back to society and stay the true course of a productive life within the law. And I hope that someone will remove Alessandro's AK47 tattoo ( it will help with him getting employment ). Ciao a tutti. Al boca la lupo

Looking forward to this

That's the sought of prison we need here in our country run by an honest faith full prison chief and offices.

If I had to serve time in Europe, I’ll choose this place in Italy.

alcataz could learn something, america could learn something but they wont. alcatraz was closed after a few short years because of upkeep do to salt water and rust. um toytoas from the 90's bodies didn't rust, the frames built in america did. the trucks were scrapped because they would snap in half. while the bodies with clear rust didn't get any worse than surface rust. why, the quality of the steel. dayna who made the toyota frames claimed same spec as other manufacurers but clearly not. i have a 22 year old ford and the frame is perfect. same concept i recon.

Alessandro has two SONS, not mere 'children'.

What crimes would qualify one to end up here?

All prisons should have work.

No one has broken out, but people keep trying to break in! It’s a real problem.

These are cool docs . When are you gonna show the part where the guards bring in the drugs weapons and cell phones, or staging fights and betting on inmates . Or when sometimes the guards they might accidentally find an inmate unalived. Also these cells are almost bigger than my place .

wrong translations on so many parts at 32:12 he said am not the boss lets say am responsible for this area at the garden...and i dont even speak italian like that but i caught so many wrong translations at the end of the day good doc i like it.

Good doc, good narration, music was a bit too intense for a Utopia like this.

The food looks good I know it's prison but damn it' seems pretty nice

Looks like a nice place to getaway for awhile.

The low level American prisons should take note of this.

בס''ד נבקש תרגום מובנה בגוף הסרט כתוביות בשפה עברית להורדה והעתקה למחשב עם כתוביות מתורגמות בעברית בכל הסרטים תודה רבה

Last? There is Suomenlinna in Finland but it's not just a prison island it's also open to the public.

We have a prison island in Norway too ... Bastøy near Oslo

Each prisoner is forced to learn an occupation, as well as, self control! It's interesting, but their prison black market must be odd! Drone's deliveries?

Something I’m curious about is what is the compensation for the correction officers working there? Are used to be a correctional officer myself in the states. But I mean like there’s got to be some sort of benefit to transfer there otherwise, why would you choose to be away from your family, your friends and I’m presuming for safety they can’t just have those people stay with them on the island. Does anyone know do they get like a double salary thing or a huge bonus for working there again? I’m just curious how that works and why an officer would choose to work at that facility. It’s a beautiful place but you’re giving up your life just like the inmates are completely.

15:55 Wow! Those are some seriously heavy doors!

I wish more prisons were run that way and offered those opportunities.

the story was very highly appreciated &it was great.....the value of life,kindness,.........human lives.....nextlevelFREEMAN..........gracias

some how those gates don't seem used to be closed, I think they are open all the time.

So Bastøy in Norway doesn't count as an prison island?

are they busting cheeks and splitting wigs in Gorgona?

I wonder though why the guards choose to live there instead of working at a prison on the mainland. I wonder what their leave looks like etc

I would love to live there .

Kinda have that movie "Escape from New York" Vibe! But this seems like vacation

So on the mainland the prison guards don’t earn a living wage⁉️Can’t afford a house❓Shame.

Those cooking sketches are nearly all in Cornwall.

Angelo the 'baker' still hasn't quite worked out that Pizza is fattening , either that or he insists on taste testing everything he cooks 😄

That lady at the end 🥰

Where is Luigi lol😂😂😂

I'll have a life sentence please if you don't mind looks amazing 😉

Cool

How do I apply for a room there for life?

TODAY.... A VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO YOU SIR/ MA'AM.... WATCHING FROM INDIA...

Please imprison me on an island with the guard at 13:56 😂

This is how prison should be.

Its like a holiday destination...how do i get here😂 seriously whats not to like!😎🇮🇹

How many foreigners are housed on this island as a prisoner?

This is not the last remaining prison island. There's at least another, namely Bastøy in Norway.

If more prison's were like this less people would return

id like to do a reservation for 2 people 2 weeks, for my vacation next summer 🙃

What a beautiful place... prison and all

This looks 100 times better than the hotel I stayed at in Majorca how do I get a rezzy????

How many men are house here? Fifty? Seems nice for a very small, well behaved group of inmates but I don’t think it would work on a larger scale.

I think that this prison, which is different than many others, but is still prison, might be an ideal setting for so many men and women who have potential and are motivated to move in with their lives, in a different direction from what put them there. I know that in the US we have special prisons but the violence and return rates remain so high. There are other ways, like the above, to actually "reform" people other than to throw them into a box for however many years, let them go only to see them come back, for so many different reasons. Finland is experimenting with new, "open" prisons...and it is working. Give people something to do, nurture, every day..and the majority will. Of course, there will always be chronic people always going in and out of prison...but at least a prison like the above, offers hope and not a place which will box you in until your release date..in my opinion. PS...take a look at Rikers, in NYC, if you want to see why the system must change.

This is jus a very long vacation😂😂

What a waste of beautiful land! This literally is the Club Med of prisons. I wonder how much tourism dollars is lost just for keeping this island as a prison. Ever see the Dustin Hoffman’s movie “papillon”? This is a joke of a prison.

BELLA 😢❤🎉🎉🎉

I would consider this as my retirement plan from Crimes lol

Sounds like a work release program. Check in check out be accountable.

20 years is the maximum these prisonors have?. In the US there are people locked up for 300 years.

36:10 this song sounds a lot like a song from Girls und Panzer, but it was a Finnish song instead of an Italian song.

Vacation time, not prison time. Seriously, it is a good idea. Maybe it will help the inmates become more law-abiding. It is more humane than, say, the prison in Brazil.

Easy time
