The Coldest Justice on Earth | Documentary about the Polar Owl Prison in Russia

In the frozen heart of Russia, beyond the Arctic Circle, lies Polar Owl—a prison so remote, few have heard about it. Its prisoners face a nightmare of isolation and temperatures so low they chill to the bone. In the entire history of Polar Owl’s existence, not a single inmate has ever managed to escape. This place is reserved for the worst of the worst: criminals sentenced to life with no possibility for parole. What happens to those society chooses to forget? This video investigates the dire conditions behind bars and the long shadow of the USSR and Stalin's Gulag system on modern Russian justice.
