This is the first floating prison — an advanced, specially designed facility that Singapore anchored 500 meters off the coast.
Singapore presented the world’s first floating prison, an advanced, specially designed facility that is anchored 500 meters off the coast and which could reshape the way we knew about prisons until today.
Capable of hosting over 2,000 inmates, the prison features cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial intelligence surveillance, biometric access controls, robotic patrol units, and virtual geographic confinement instead of traditional bars.
But it is not just about confinement. The facility places great emphasis on rehabilitation through education and skills training, aiming to help inmates reintegrate into society with dignity.
Being a country with limited space, Singapore sets yet another bold example of innovation.
