The most heavily guarded places on earth

Let's face it,

we've all got our fair share of secrets.

However, some places are so restricted and guarded

to getting in or even getting out is practically impossible.

Or it was until now.

Strap in, superspy, I've got you an all-access pass

into previously inaccessible places.

We're going everywhere

from the world's most secure Starbucks

to whatever's inside this giant concrete hole.

This is gonna be dangerous.

So, keep your wits about you as we take a look

at the most heavily-guarded places on Earth.

(upbeat music)

Martian madness.

What's a video about heavily-guarded places without Area 51?

It might be the world's most famous best kept secret,

but what do we actually know about it?

Well, the official story states

it's a classified US Air Force facility

outside of Las Vegas, Nevada.

Originally, it was used by the CIA

to develop and test the U-2 reconnaissance plane,

but that's not why it's famous.

In 1989, a man named Bob Lazar claimed he'd worked there

reverse engineering a downed alien spacecraft.

Ever since, conspiracies and myths

have been rife around what's going on at the site.

This culminated in 2019 when 150 Americans

threatened to Naruto run past security

and free the aliens they believed were being held captive.

Ah, this is why other countries hate us.

Honestly, it's impossible to know

how expansive security measures that Area 51 really are.

The entire area is covered by a no-fly zone

with armed guards patrolling the ground

and motion sensors helping cover where the guards aren't.

Employees aren't even allowed to drive in.

All transport is via private jets

organized by air traffic control

under the name Janet Airlines.

But apart from that, the secretive existence of Area 51

only aids the enigma.

See, despite documented proof

of Area 51's existence dating back to 1955,

the CIA refused to acknowledge it until 2013.

That definitely sounds suspicious,

but the truth is we just don't know

what they're covering up.

What if all of this alien chatter is a distraction

for whatever's really going on.

- [Speaker] FBI open up.

- [Narrator] Ah crap, I think they're onto me.

Max Security Slammer.

Ever since I dodged a jaywalking fine in 2008,

I've lived like a fugitive on the run.

I sure hope they never catch me.

Prison sounds nasty,

especially, ADX Florence in Fremont County, Colorado.

Opened in 1994, it's currently

the only supermax security prison in the United States,

and top capacity is a meager 490 inmates.

The facility specializes in the most high profile prisoners,

including Ted Kczynski, also known as the Unabomber,

and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston Marathon Bomber,

and the most dangerous prisoners in the world

need the strictest security measures.

Inmates at ADX Florence have practically

no time outside of their cells.

In fact, for the first three years of confinement,

prisoners have zero contact with other prisoners.

Only after these three years

can they earn outside time through good behavior.

Oh, and by outside time,

I don't mean a frolic in a pretty meadow.

No, the "outside" is a heavily guarded area

called the "concrete pit".

And if you're imagining something like this,

it's actually kinda worse.

This is merely some Photoshop imaging from yours truly.

The real concrete pit is an oppressively small courtyard

barely large enough to walk 10 steps in a straight line.

And its ceilings are constructed such

that they let sunlight in

without letting the inmates see the sky or sun above them.

As for the cells, they measure

a measly seven feet by 12 feet

and feature one tiny window, four inches by four feet tall.

You can just about see the sky through it,

but practically nothing else.

Making planning an escape impossible.
