"Sark Prison: The World's Smallest Jail"

In one of the smallest islands between France and England called Sark Island, there lies the smallest jail in the world. 

The Sark Prison was built in 1856 and it is still used today for short-term detentions.

The prison has just two cells and can hold up to two prisoners at a time.

This quaint and historic building reflects Sark’s unique, small scale way of life, and despite its size, it remains fully operational. Sark, is known for its lack of cars and small population.
