'Black Dolphin Prison' Russia’s Worst Criminals Serve Their Life Sentences

A quaint pink building on Russia’s southernmost corner is actually home to some of the country’s most vicious criminals with rapists, paedophiles, murderers and even cannibals under its roof.

Every single one of the prison’s 700 strong population has been sentenced to life imprisonment with no parole.

In order to prevent the possibility of escape, prisoners are blindfolded whenever they leave their cell and kept under constant 24 hours surveillance.

Whilst in their triple-locked cells they are not permitted to rest or sit on their bunks with guards checking every 15 minutes.

Convicts are obliged to sleep with the bright light on and their heads toward the door, not covering their faces.

If anyone in sleep would pull a blanket over his head, the officer’s order will follow immediately, and then all occupants of the chamber must wake up and take “the original position”.


On the door there is a speaker broadcasting local radio – the only link of prisoners to the outside world.

In terms of nourishment, the prisoners are fed just four meals of soup a day.

They are confined to their cells for all but 90 minutes of the day when they are escorted to a cage for exercise.

While they are transported, prisoners are handcuffed and blindfolded so guards can maximise control over them at all times to reduce the danger to themselves.

The residents of Black Dolphin have killed about 3500 people between them which averages out at five bodies per inmate.

The prisoners are watched by a team of guards who have stated on the record they have no sympathy for them, even describing them as inhuman.

A guard named Denis Avsyuk said: "The main crime committed by the convicts here is murder. But we also have maniacs, paedophiles, and terrorists.

"To call them people, it makes your tongue bend backwards just to say it. I have never felt any sympathy for them."

Every one of the inmates in the prison will die there and never be released.

According to prison psychologists, during the first year of life, a prisoner gets used to the new conditions. This is the stage of learning.

Then there is a period of stabilization, which takes another three years. At that time a prisoner is like a robot. He executes commands without hesitation.

After that period there are two possibilities. If a prison adapts, he will continue to be a robot. If not, comes the third stage: the rapid fading, both mental and physical. 

Lymph nodes get inflamed, the cortical layer of the adrenal glands grows, ulcers appear in the gastrointestinal tract. People are slowly dying. By themselves.
