The prime suspect in the Madeleine McCann case has been moved to a new high-security prison dubbed the Alcatraz of The North.
Christian Brueckner, who German investigators believe murdered Madeleine in 2007, is now in solitary confinement at Oldenburg prison near Bremen, north west Germany.
Although the modern prison is a step up in comfort from his previous jails it is covered with CCTV cameras.
All the doors and windows within the walls are made from special reinforced safety glass so guards can keep an eye on prisoners at all times.
Escape is thought to be almost impossible at the high-tech facility which is surrounded by a 22ft wall - although one prisoner managed to flee after befriending a guard.
When contacted by The Mirror, Brueckner’s lawyer, Friedrich Fuelscher, declined to comment on why Brueckner had been transferred.
