Situated in the Latvian city of Liepaja, Karosta Prison, now a hotel and museum, was formerly a military prison. A stay at this hotel is truly back to the basics - you get no preferential treatment. Visitors are asked to put on chains and shackles after they check in. Bumps in the night are a common occurrence and there have even been sightings from beyond the grave. An insight into life as an inmate can be gleaned from the graffiti on the walls - truly horrifying.
