Supermax
"Supermax" refers to a type of high-security prison designed to hold the most dangerous and violent offenders. These facilities are equipped with advanced security measures, including surveillance cameras, reinforced walls, and strict protocols to prevent escapes and maintain order. Inmates in Supermax prisons often spend 23 hours a day in solitary confinement, which is intended to minimize their ability to harm others.
The term "Supermax" is commonly associated with the United States prison system, particularly facilities like the ADX Florence in Colorado. These prisons house notorious criminals, including terrorists and organized crime leaders, and are designed to isolate them from the general population and each other.
