Singapore has built the world’s first floating prison—a modern facility located 500 meters offshore. This new prison could change the way people think about jails.

It can hold more than 2,000 inmates and uses high-tech tools like AI cameras, fingerprint and face scanners, robot guards, and invisible "fences" tracked by technology instead of metal bars.

But it’s not just about locking people up. The prison also focuses on helping inmates improve their lives. It offers education and job training so they can return to society with skills and confidence.

In a small country with limited land, Singapore is trying a new and creative idea—this time, on the water.
