ADX Prison, Florence, Colorado<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

America’s most secure prison, ADX Florence, built south of Florence Colorado in 1994, is commonly referred to as “Supermax” prison.<\/p>\n

It has 490 beds and sits on 37 acres.<\/p>\n

“ADX Florence is known for its harsh conditions; inmates are kept in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day. The hour they are allowed out is into a bigger cell with vaulted ceilings called the \u201cempty swimming pool.\u201d This room has a 4-inch by 4-foot skylight as the only window. It is designed to prevent the prisoners from knowing where they are, and they still spend this time alone,” according to Sometimes Interesting.com<\/strong><\/p>\n

“For at least the first three years, prisoners are not allowed to come into contact with other prisoners at any time \u2013 anywhere on the premises. Over time, good behavior can earn inmates more \u201coutside\u201d time, and for the most fortunate a possible transfer back to a less-secure prison can await,” states Sometimes Interesting.<\/p>\n
