The prisoner is tortured in prison, this is a portrait of the most violent prison on Devil Island

Photographer Romain Veillon captured a portrait of the state of Devil Island off the coast of French Guiana.
Once a scary prison location, because it was only inhabited by heavy class inmates.
In his time, Devil Island was a place where 60 thousand prisoners.

Around 1852 and 1946, inmates were sent on a 15-day trip and brackets in a narrow location.
Quoted from Metro.co.uk, inmates also do work like a slave.
They also faced several tortures.
Isolated for years and some also refused and some even fled.

Some prisoners even died due to blows, lack of food, and suicide.
There are also prisoners who live for years under the dark underground.

Disconnected from the rays of sunlight so that they cannot come in direct contact with humans.
During the period of detention, inmates are also prohibited from talking to each other, smoking, reading, and holding anything.
They are only left to sit before night.

They even only allowed for one hour to walk in a special cell with an open roof.
In terms of food, prisoners will get food through bribes.
Their way of eating is also unusual, because the prisoners will put their heads in the hole from the prison to be given bribes by the officers.

This prison is only for prisoners with the heaviest class, so the island is the location most feared by the colonists.
Among the prisoners there is rarely anyone who wants to escape.

Every prisoner who escapes from the cell, they are likely to be eaten by sharks or piranhas that live around the sea.

Although now the island is not inhabited by prisoners, dark history still haunts the location.
So that many of the tourists come to visit there.
The location of the island was once tried to be made summer camps, police stations, and factories, but did not last long.

The location has now been abandoned and is consumed by age with nature.

"This is a famous part of French history," Romain was quoted as saying by Metro.co.uk.

According to him, they had sent the worst prisoners to Guiana in the past and they had to face terrible conditions of detention.

"Since then, I have always wanted to see with my own eyes what is left of colonial prisons on the islands because this is a unique relic of our past and a symbol of true adventurers," he added.

The first time Romain's attention when visiting the prison was a hot atmosphere.

The atmosphere in Guyana the detention location is not only hot but also humid.

Beyond that, Romain actually feels peaceful when on an island that has been reclaimed by nature.
Before photographing the building in this Guyana, Romain also had time to photograph worn out roller coaster and destroyed houses.

His experience of seeing Guyana directly and perpetuating through cameras, he also briefly published a book Ask The Dust.
