Smallest Prison: If we carefully and patiently look and search… we will find many strange things in the world. Most of them are natural, while some are man-made. While America and Mexico have the shortest bridge, Britain has the smallest prison in the world. It has only two prisoners. Sark is one of the Channel Islands in the English Channel between England and France. Its area is 5.4 square kilometers. The population here is only 562.
Construction of Jail in 1856
This small jail was built in Sark Island in 1856. A wooden barrel was arranged as a roof for it. In the early days, this jail did not have electricity. A century (hundred years) after the jail was built, electricity was given. There are only two prisoners in it. It has two rooms for them. This jail is still in use.
For those who are punished for less days..
Keep the prisoners in this jail for more days. It is used to remand the accused for two to three days. After being produced in the court, they will be transferred from here to the main jail in Grunji Island. Prisoners also visit this jail less. Because the population is also less in this island. That is why inmates who rarely come are confined here for two days.
