SILENT DEATH
A dramatic-documentary.
Interviews with political prisoners and their relatives all around the world: USA, Germany, Italy, Spain...
Made in order to protest against F-Type Prisons which its principle is absolute isolation on political prisoners.
Silent Death
There are approximately 71.000 prisoners in the Turkish prisons today. Among these, more than 10.000 are political prisoners. The Turkish Ministry of Justice has recently constructed F-type prisons (known as the "isolation cell system") in three locations in Turkey and is planning to construct eight more. These isolation cells will be used mainly for political prisoners. The Ministry of Justice is introducing the F-type prison as being compatible with European standards.
The documentary film The Silent Death aims to discuss and display European policies regarding prisons. Through the different interviews made with political detainees and former prisoners in Germany, Italy, Spain, North Ireland and the USA and with their families, we will try to show that the European prison system and the isolation cell system all around the world, is not the ideal system as propagated by the Turkish authorities.
Interviews with researches working on this subject shows that the existing model in Europe is the outcome of a hundred-year-old system which has many deficiencies. The film will try to depict the 30 years of isolation cell experience with the aim of pointing out the disparity between what is claimed and what is truly experienced, to the audience. The outcomes of the isolation system and its influence on human life will be told both by the victims and the witnesses.
