The island of "Goli" - "Croatian Alcatraz"

The island of "Goli" - "Croatian Alcatraz" - From the second half of the 1950s onwards, non-political convicts were also sent to Goli Otok's high-security prison. But that didn't mean no more political prisoners at all. Instead the range of offences became even wider, including those accused of being monarchists or social democrats. Some victims' only “crime” was attempting to cross the Yugoslav border illegally.
