INTRODUCTION
The imprisonment of people is probably one of the biggest taboos in modern society. Prison is a place where people are physically limited and usually deprived of a range of personal freedoms.
Detention or incarceration is a legal penalty that may be imposed by the State for the commission of a crime.

The Pacific Ocean is the largest space of separation on Earth. It extends from the Arctic Sea in the north to the Southern Ocean in the south, bordered by Asia and Australia in the west, and the Americas in the east.
