Conditions in Sincan Women’s Prison, Turkey
In Sincan, Turkey, the women's prison has implemented a unique approach to surveillance by replacing traditional stationary cells with a system of 360-degree recording cameras installed throughout the facility. These advanced cameras, capable of capturing both video and sound, are strategically placed in communal living areas, allowing prison administration to monitor inmate interactions and activities more effectively.
This innovative surveillance system aims to enhance security and oversight within the prison, providing authorities with a comprehensive view of areas that were previously only observable by those physically present. By utilizing technology in this manner, the administration seeks to deter potential conflicts and maintain order among the inmates. However, the presence of constant surveillance may also raise concerns regarding privacy and the psychological impact on the women living in such an environment.
