There are approximately 71,000 prisoners in Turkish prisons today. Among these, more than 10,000 are political prisoners. The Turkish Ministry of Justice has recently constructed F-type prisons – known as isolation cell system – in three locations. This documentary film aims to discuss and display European policies regarding prisons. Through different interviews made with political detainees and former prisoners in Germany, Italy, Spain, and the USA, the film tries to show that the European prison system and the isolation cell system all around the world is not the ideal as propagated by the Turkish authorities.
