Not much is known about the Urga prison in Mongolia. The Urga prison is basically just a slew of death boxes that would slowly kill every prisoner put inside one. Prisoners were confined to tiny wooden coffins and could be kept there for years.

They were given food through a six-inch hole and their filth was washed every two to three weeks. Imagine having to stay in one box for the rest of your life, caked in your own filth and unable to move your hands or your body? Insane.
