"According to this article, it is quite literally an old prison barge that’s
been
converted into dismally cheap shelter. Not only is the interior what you mght
expect of an old prison ship, but “Italian workers living there claimed they
could not leave it without being attacked by angry locals.” They are being
vanned in to the sites for their protection. Wow. Not only is it literally and
functionally an old prison ship but by virtue of the violence looming on the
outside of those walls they are even all the more confined there."
