Inside The Last Russian Gulag Prison Camp "Perm 36"

Alun Hill was invited to the Russia / Siberia border to see the last of the Soviet Gulag Prison Camps, called "Perm 36". After a tour of the security and the standard barracks (4 to a bed, each bed made up of just 2 planks of wood), he is shown into the "special regime" cells, which move him to tears.

And it's minus 50 degrees in winter in this part of Russia ....
