"Breaking into" the world's smallest 2-cell prison, with a room of 3.4 m2

According to Oddity Central, although there are no cars, no roads, and not even street lights, on the island of Sark there is still a small prison built in 1856.

The prison has only two small, windowless cells. One is 3.4 square meters and the other is 4.3 square meters, separated by a narrow hallway. Guinness World Records has recognized this as the "world's smallest prison."

The cells are furnished with small wooden beds with thin mattresses for prisoners to sleep on, and there are no windows. The prison currently has electricity and heating.

Prisoners can only be held here for a maximum of two days, after which they must be transferred to a larger prison facility on the neighbouring island of Guernsey.

Law enforcement on the island does not receive regular crime reports, but the prison is technically still operating and attracts tourists.

Over the years, the world's smallest prison has seen very little structural change.

The most famous prisoner at Sark prison was Andres Gardes, an unemployed French nuclear physicist. Gardes believed himself to be the rightful owner of the island of Sark.

Since no one took his claims seriously, Gardes decided to form a "one-man army" to invade the island. The man plastered posters all over the island announcing his "invasion."

While carrying a semi-automatic rifle on the island of Sark, Gardes was disarmed by an on-duty police officer. He was then jailed.

Sark is part of the Channel Islands, located in the southwest of the English Channel, off the coast of Normandy, France. It is part of the county of Guernsey.

The island has an area of ​​5.44 square kilometers and a population of about 500. Sark is one of the few remaining places in the world where cars are banned, with only tractors, bicycles and horse-drawn carriages allowed.
