My trip to French Guiana / Devil's Island 2011

French Guiana was dubbed the Green Hell among the prisoners were serving his sentence here. The Îles du Salut (in English: Salvation Islands) were used as a penal colony from 1852 onwards, earning them a reputation for harshness and brutality. The islands are today restored and the visit of many tourists. Foreign Legion also has a small base on one of the islands. They are responsible for maintenance and security.
