4. Diyarbakir Prison
The horrible circumstances of Diyarbakir Prison in Diyarbakir, Turkey, are well-known. The practice of incarcerating minors for life sentences is one of the sad stains in the prison’s history.
The institution’s violent behavior appears to stem from the prison guards rather than the inmates themselves.
In 1996, an event happened in which guards and police severely abused detainees. This tragedy resulted in the deaths of ten inmates and the injury of another twenty-three.
