The End of the World prison in Ushuaia<\/a> operated between 1904 and 1947. It is one of the safest prisons in our country due to the climatic conditions and the geographic isolation of the province of Tierra del Fuego. Also, it is said that it was one of the most feared prisons.<\/p> \n

The prison had five blocks and housed more than 600 inmates distributed among 386 small cells (double and individual). The inmates received primary education, if they did not have it, and an economic remuneration for the work carried out. These had to do with carpentry, blacksmithing, printing, mechanics and shoemaking. Others, in turn, worked clearing trees for firewood. The firewood was obtained from the current Tierra del Fuego National Park<\/a> , to which they arrived in a small train that was only used to transport inmates. Do you know what train we are talking about? Yes, this is the story, too, of the famous and mythical End of the World Train<\/a> .<\/p> \n \n
