Out of necessity, Somalia's Northern city Hargeisa is now the home to the first Maximum Security Prison for the Pirates. Apparently no country in the world wanted to keep pirates in their prison for the long term. However, the UN, which gave the northern Somalis about $1.5 million (£940,000) for the refurbishment of Hargeisa prison, announced that the facility is equipped to receive international transfers. It is expected that the opening of this maximum security prison could theoretically relieve the burden on other nations affected by piracy that are unwilling to imprison pirates long term. Here is a video of the opening of the prison recently posted on Youtube by the Somali officials.
