1
Penal colony number 6 or Black Dolphin, the worst prison in the entire world.
2
When they want to compare this place, they use Nazi concentration camps as an example.
3
So why is it called Black Dolphin?
4
This prison has a very nice looking entrance and it doesn't show its true color.
5
There is also a black dolphin statue in the front.
6
This prison is a very quiet place.
7
And when you enter it, you don't hear much.
8
And you don't see anybody either.
9
It's just quiet hallways.
10
All the prisoners are enclosed cells.
11
But there is a rule that the prisoners should see the sun once in a while.
12
how do they take them outside
13
so they can get some fresh air to do this they handcuff them
14
and close their eyes and armed guards push them from behind
15
if you hesitate for a second you will be hit with a stick
16
and if they're not behaving they take them right back to the cell they say in the last 20 years
17
2700 people have died in this prison not killed by other prisoners
18
because they don't really contact with each other they were killed by the guards they were either tortured beat up
19
or other types of punishments these stats came from Russia itself it might be way higher than
20
that but we don't know you could say in Black Dolphin there is no blind spots
21
because cameras are watching every angle even
22
when they're on the toilet they're being watched so even
23
when the guards are beating the prisoners up they're being watched
24
but it's no problem because they have an approval from higher -ups and you don't have to be gentle with these prisoners.
25
Anybody that's in this prison is spending the rest of their life here because only lifers are in this prison.
26
And whoever enters this prison has to say goodbye to everything they have.
27
Because even if they die nobody gets the body.
28
When you enter this prison, it means you're gonna die here, because there's no visiting either.
29
Penal Colony No. 6 is one of the oldest prisons in Russia and Europe, because this place was open around 1745.
30
like we said this is the worst prison and everybody is a lifer
31
but what did the prisoners do the prisoners committed these crime cannibalism pedophile
32
serial killers and terrorists most of the prisoners did these crimes
33
There is 700 prisoners in Black Dolphin and together they killed over 3500 people.
34
And that's the pedophile, the cannibalist or the terrorists.
35
It's good to know that out of all the people, the pedophiles have it the worst because they're punished way more than the others, even more than the terrorists.
36
One of the famous prisoners is Igor Tyshenko.
37
If you've seen our video about the Russian Mafia, you'll know this guy's group.
38
This guy basically kills 7 people of the rival gang on the street.
39
And he has life in prison in Black Dolphin because he killed seven people.
40
There's another serial killer in here by the name of Nikolai Ostankol
41
that killed a lot of people but only five of them have been proven.
42
These are considered the not bad people.
43
Like Vladimir Nikolayev is a cannibalist and he is in this prison.
44
This guy really liked human meat and he used to make different dishes with it.
45
He even liked to offer it to his friend and one of the people he kills, he cuts off the thighs and gives it to his friend and says it's a kangaroo thigh.
46
the reason he used kangaroo is
47
because his friend was Russian didn't know what a kangaroo looks like
48
but his friend realizes that this is human meat and he tells the police.
49
That's how they get him and they realize wow this guy is actually a cannibalist.
50
In this prison there's a policeman by the name of Mikhail Popkov.
51
This was a policeman that raped over 81 people
52
and he didn't let go of any of them and killed every single one.
53
This is the amount he confessed to.
54
If anybody wants to leave the cell, there's only one way.
55
It's not just one door either, it's three layer.
56
Two metal doors on each side and there's a cage in the middle
57
which they use to handcuff
58
and blindfold you the prisoners have no hope for leaving except death they can only leave
59
when they die and their body is not given to anybody
60
if you're a good prisoners
61
and listen to the guard you can make four phone calls a year
62
but you have to be well behaved the smallest mistake gets that right taken away from you
63
and if they're well behaved they can see the sunlight 30 minutes a day
64
and they're not gonna go outside they go in a room the outside part is a four wall room
65
which the roof is replaced with a fence where you can see the sky
66
and sun so they're not gonna go into the yard there's 700 prisoners
67
and they each have their own cell
68
so they're pretty much in a shoe each door has a plaque
69
which has the information of the prisoner and what they did
70
and that's for the guards to know who they're gonna deal with is this a cannibalist
71
or a pedophile is this a terrorist or a serial killer
72
when you're in this prison you're all alone and And the only people you see are the guards.
73
You're not allowed to have contact with other prisoners.
74
They're gonna feed you through the hole as well.
75
It's not like you go to a cafeteria and eat with your friends.
76
Each cell is 2 square meters and in that little area, there's a toilet and sink.
77
There's also no window either.
78
A lot of people in this prison have starved themselves to death.
79
But the guards don't care about that and when they die they take the body and cremate it.
80
There's a lot of bad prisons in the world but Black Dolphin tops all of them.
81
But a lot of people don't believe that.
82
They say this is guaranteed the worst prison in the entire world.
83
If you've seen our video about Guantanamo Bay, you'll see that the prisoners over there have a better time than these guys.
84
Please let us know, are places like this necessary?
85
Thank you.

Wat je zult leren

Met deze video kun je twee belangrijke spreekvaardigheden oefenen: het begrijpen van snel en informatief gesproken Engels (handig voor nieuws of documentaires) en het structureren van verhalen over feitelijke informatie. Daarnaast leer je hoe je complexe details (zoals cijfers en namen) helder uitspreekt, wat nuttig is voor elk gesprek waarin je feiten deelt. Ideaal om je engelse spreekvaardigheid te verbeteren!

Luister naar deze geluiden

Let op de verbonden spraak in de video. Bijvoorbeeld: "they use Nazi concentration camps as an example" wordt vaak gesproken als "theyuseNaziconcentrationcampsasanexample" (zonder duidelijke pauzes tussen woorden). Ook worden korte woorden zoals "it's" en "don't" vaak gereduceerd: "it's" klinkt als "its" en "don't" als "dont". Deze reducties helpen je om snel gesproken Engels te volgen, een essentiële vaardigheid als je wilt leren engels met video's.

Spreek het zoals een native

Om de rhythmiek en stress te nabootsen, focus op de sterke klinkers in lange woorden. Bijvoorbeeld: "cannibalism" (KAH-ni-ba-lism) en "pedophile" (PEE-doe-file) hebben de stress op de eerste syllabe. Ook de korte, krachtige zinnen ("This prison is quiet.") hebben een duidelijke pauze na elke zin, wat de nadruk versterkt. Probeer schaduwspraak: herhaal de zinnen direct na de speaker, net als een schaduw. Dit helpt je om de timing en intonatie te leren. Met regelmatig schaduwspreken wordt je uitspraak steeds natuurlijker!

Onthoud: zelfs moeilijke onderwerpen (zoals deze prison) zijn een geweldige kans om je Engels te verbeteren. Luister vaak, herhaal veel en geniet van de vooruitgang!

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
