CHICAGO - Gov. Pat Quinn said selling a prison in rural northwest Illinois to the federal government is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create jobs in the struggling area.

But plans to sell the prison that would then be used to house some detainees from the Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba is creating controversy because of safety concerns.

Federal officials are expected at Thomson Correctional Center on Monday to inspect the prison. ]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/thomson-correctional-center/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/thomson-correctional-center/ Sun, 15 Nov 2009 13:52:15 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/thomson-correctional-center/ 41.97235000 -90.10879000 <![CDATA[Raipur prison]]>

If you look for a special stay when you visit Stockholm here is an idea.

Take a stay at Långholmen Hotel and Hostel. It's a former state prison built 1840 and have figured in one of Sweden´s most beloved comedies 'Release the prisoners, it is spring!' .

2008 it was totally renovated.

It also has a prison museum]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/l-ngholmen-hotel-and-hostel/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/l-ngholmen-hotel-and-hostel/ Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:22:48 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/l-ngholmen-hotel-and-hostel/ 59.32073500 18.02742200 <![CDATA[Bernie Madoff's new home: FCI Butner Medium]]>

The Naval Consolidated Brig (NAVCONBRIG CHASN), is a medium security U.S. military prison. It is located on the south annex of Naval Weapons Station Charleston in Berkeley County, South Carolina, north of Charleston.

Two convicted murderers put on uniforms for corrections officers and left an Arkansas prison during a shift change, officials said Saturday as they searched for the men.
The uniforms the inmates wore are made in the prison. Video surveillance shows that the men put them on in the prison library after the 6 p.m. head count and walked out of the prison during a shift change less than 20 minutes later. The men drove away in a sedan that had been left for them.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/cummins-unit-2-prisoners-escape-may-30-2009/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/cummins-unit-2-prisoners-escape-may-30-2009/ Mon, 01 Jun 2009 17:11:37 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/cummins-unit-2-prisoners-escape-may-30-2009/ 34.05175300 -91.58385500 <![CDATA[Amiens Prison]]>

Operation Jericho was a low-level World War II bombing raid by Allied aircraft on Amiens Prison in German-occupied France on 18 February 1944. The object of the raid was to free French Resistance and political prisoners, 120 of whom were to be executed the following day.

Mosquito bombers succeeded in breaching the walls and buildings of the prison, as well as destroying guards' barracks. Of the 717 prisoners, 102 were killed, 74 wounded, and 258 escaped, including 79 Resistance and political prisoners.]]>

Haverigg Prison

Located at the closed RAF Millom.

The prison is focussed heavily on Resettlement and re-integrating prisoners into the community on discharge. Old industries, such as weaving, have been closed and these are being replaced by skills led industries such as timber manufacturing and Construction Industry Training workshops (building, plastering, plumbing and industrial cleaning) – funded through the Custody to Work initiative. The agricultural farm has been reviewed with greater emphasis on horticultural training.

Education and training at Haverigg is an integral part of Resettlement/Offender management and is crucial in reducing the risk of re-offending. At Haverigg we offer a comprehensive range of education and training opportunities, a high percentage of which are accredited with QCA approval. More recent training opportunities are designed to reflect shortages in the skills market, giving learners at Haverigg employment opportunities on release. Educational programmes also reflect national and local needs, particularly in the area of Skills for Life provision.

Addressing Offending behaviour, Haverigg was one of the first prisons to offer PASRO – Prisons Addressing Substance Related Offending – which has become a success, and is hoping to increase the provision of this throughout the next twelve months. We have recently carried out a needs analysis and future provision of offending behaviour courses will ensure that the need identified is met.

Florida State Prison (FSP), also known as Starke Prison (because of its proximity to Starke, Florida), formerly known as the Union Correctional Institution – East Unit,[1] or the Raiford State Penitentiary is a correctional facility located in Raiford, Union County, FL. It is locted on State Road 16 right across the border from Bradford County. For this reason, the location is often cited as Starke, but this is incorrect. The institution opened in 1961, even though construction was not completed until 1968. Today, the prison serves as a maximum security facility, housing Florida's most dangerous inmates. Currently housing over 1,400 inmates, FSP is one of the largest prisons in the state. FSP houses one of the state's three death row cell blocks and the state's execution chamber with Old Sparky are located at the penitentiary. Union Correctional Institution and Lowell Annex also house male and female death row inmates, respectively. Lethal injection became the standard method of execution in 2000. The electric chair is only used if the condemned person requests it.]]>

Old Tennessee State Prison
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: 1JonKing
@ 2008-12-09 11:13:34
The proposed prison design called for the construction of a fortress-like structure patterned after the penitentiary at Auburn, New York, made famous for the lockstep marching, striped prisoner uniforms, nighttime solitary confinement, and daytime congregate work under strictly enforced silence. The new Tennessee prison contained 800 small cells, each designed to house a single inmate. In addition, an administration building and other smaller buildings for offices, warehouses, and factories were built within the twenty-foot (6.15m)high, three-foot (1 m) thick rock walls. The plan also provided for a working farm outside the walls and mandated a separate system for younger offenders to isolate them from older, hardened criminals.

Sissy Spacek portrays Marie Ragghianti, the woman who blew the whistle on the Ray Blanton administration, in the 1986 feature Marie. This film marked the screen debuts for two of Tennessee's biggest stars: the Tennessee State Penitentiary and Fred Thompson (now a U.S. senator). Once slated for demolition, the prison has become a popular movie set; the HBO film Attica (1996) was recently shot there. In 1999 came the release of the Tom Hanks movie The Green Mile, which prominently featured the state prison.

The prison was the setting of a couple episodes of VH1's Celebrity Paranormal Project, which is similar to MTV's Fear with the exception that celebrities are used as the "investigators." In 1977, country musician Johnny Cash performed the televised concert, A Concert: Behind Prison Walls, in the prison with Linda Ronstadt, Roy Clark, Foster Brooks and Carl Perkins. It was most recently used as the setting for the 2006 horror film, Furnace. Other films shot there include The Last Castle, A Letter From Death Row, Last Dance, Ernest Goes to Jail, and Nashville.]]>

"This building was erected In 1911 by John Higgins on the property, located on the east side of Johnston Street, which he had purchased from the estate of Thomas Johnston. The barn behind the jail was constructed by Johnston In 1877. As was the practice in those times, Higgins may have rented the jail to San Mateo County then ultimately sold It to the County.
The facility served as a Sheriff's Sub-station with an office and two small cells until 1966 or 1967, according to John Edmonds, historian for the Sheriff's department. The cells were used essentially as overnight holding cells for any prisoners awaiting transfer to the Redwood City jail and as a place to sleep off a binge by local citizens who liked to Imbibe too much in the town's saloons now and then.

In the early 1970's the county's Mental Health Services social workers had no base office on the coastside until early 1976 when long-time social worker Sally Boddinghouse found office space in the now empty county jail on Johnston. She was allotted $500 to renovate the facility into office space for four persons, including a desk for the Sheriff's department. It was tight quarters, remembers Ned Brasher who joined the coastside staff that year. They would Interview clients in restaurants, In the Methodist Church Sunday School room, often in their cars. If there was no other alternative and an Interview had to be conducted in the former jail, three of the staff had to disappear from the premises to assure confidentiality In the Interview. In December of 1977 the Mental Health services staff moved to more spacious quarters in the Hatch Building several blocks away.

In 1989 San Mateo County turned the building over to the City of Half Moon Bay which now leases it for $1.00 a year to the Spanishtown Historical Society. The society has renovated it extensively and prepared the historical exhibits of interest in this small museum for those who would like to know more about life in early Spanishtown/Half Moon Bay." ]]>

Hoeryong Concentration Camp also known as Camp 22 is a North Korean prison for political prisoners, who are in fact family members of accused North Koreans. Camp 22 is known as: Kwan-li-so No.22 Haengyong. 'Kwan-li-so' is Korean for 'education'. It is located in north-east North Korea, on the border with Russia and China, 20 km from the city of Hoeryong. On all available maps the camp carries no name like villages. This camp is surrounded by the following villages: Wŏn-dong, Ssŏgŭndari, Kulsal-li, Haengyŏng-ni (headquarters of the camp), Naksaeng-ni and Chungch’u-dong.

There are an estimated 50,000 prisoners held in Camp 22. Most have been imprisoned because relatives were critical of the Korean Workers' Party or its General Secretary, Kim Jong-il. Analysis of satellite imagery suggests that the camp is surrounded by guarded fences, and that it covers an area estimated to be as large as Washington, D.C.. Housing is clustered in fairly small groups. Reasons for housing the prisoners in this fashion are unclear, but could be to decrease the risk of rebellion]]>

Yodŏk (Korean 요덕, also romanized Yodeok or Yoduk) is a political concentration camp in North Korea. It is located in Yodŏk-gun (county) in South Hamgyong Province. The official name is Kwan-li-so (reeducation center) No. 15.

In the 1990s, an estimated 30,000 prisoners were in the lifetime area, and around 16,500 prisoners in the revolutionizing zone (many of them family members of prisoners and people repatriated from Japan).

Yodŏk camp has a lifetime-imprisonment "total-control zone", but also "revolutionizing zones", from which prisoners are sometimes released. That is why there are testimonies by refugees about Yodŏk.

The whole encampment is surrounded by a barbed-wire fence measuring 3 to 4 meters and walls 2 to 3 meters tall topped with electrical wire. Along the fence there are watchtowers, and patrolled by 1,000 guards armed with automatic rifles, hand grenades and guard dogs.

Assumption Parish Courthouse and Jail

By: kkeps
@ 2008-10-21 07:32:55
The Assumption Parish Courthouse was built in 1896, while the nearby jail is an earlier building that was in place by at least 1885. The late 19th and early 20th centuries were a time of revival styles in architecture, recalling Greek, Roman, and Romanesque styles of earlier periods. The Assumption Parish Courthouse and Jail stand as the singular examples of Italianate architecture in the parish. The land on which the buildings now stand, along the West Bank of Bayou Lafourche, was donated by Maxill and Caroline Bourg in 1818, to serve as the permanent location for the courthouse. It was at this time that Napoleonville (today, with a population of 802) became the county seat. An earlier courthouse probably stood here, and some of its decorative features may be those that appear in the present courthouse, such as the earlier Federal and Greek Revival style mantels. The Courthouse is built predominantly in the Italian-villa style--a two-story building in an L-shaped floor plan with a tower, or campanile. Although predominantly Italianate in design, the courthouse does show slight influence of the Romanesque Revival style in the massiveness with which the round arch entrances and the palladian windows, on the third level of the tower, are articulated. The Jail, too, features an Italianate style tower on its southeast corner, which may or may not belong to the original building. Both buildings are sheathed in stucco, a feature that highlights the simplicity of the design, while allowing the more ornate features, such as the towers, gables, windows, and pilasters to be accentuated. The Courthouse and Jail are today connected with a modern addition, though at the time of their construction, they were separate buildings. ]]>

Camp 1391 is a controversial Israel Defense Force prison. The existence of the camp and its inmates was completely unknown to the public until 2003 and details of its nature are still not entirely clear.

The camp was accidentally discovered by an Israeli historian called Gad Kroizer. He stumbled on a 70-year-old map drawn by a government architect while researching old British police buildings. He found on the map 62 British police compounds in Palestine in the late 1930s and early 1940s where both Arab and Jewish militants against the British occupation were interrogated. A camp called Meretz did not appear on any of the modern Israeli maps. Kroizer started digging deeper and in 2004, he unveiled Camp 1391 to the public and the next day he received a phone call from Israel's military censor who wanted to know why the article had not been submitted for inspection. It is situated in Israel's North District near Pardes Hanna, less than an hour's drive from Tel Aviv and close to Highway 65 between Hadera and Afula. The HaMoked, an Israeli human-rights group, has petitioned the High Court of Justice to close it down.]]>

Well, OK, actually it's the old Mansfield Reformatory, though the facility gained fame when it served as Shawshank State Prison in the 1994 movie The Shawshank Redemption starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman.

The facility was built between 1886 and 1910. The original architect for the design was Levi T Scofield from Cleveland, although the creation and construction of the entire building was entrusted to F F Schnitzer, whose name also appears on the cornerstone, and is recorded as Superintendent in documents found in the cornerstone. Schnitzer was presented with a silver double inkwell by the governor of the state in a lavish ceremony to thank him for his services. Although the architecture is often described as Germanic castle architecture, it is actually mostly Romanesque Revival. The Reformatory remained in full operation until 1972 once the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility was opened. The facility was completely closed down in 1990. ]]>

Stammheim Prison

By: adrbr
@ 2008-02-22 17:20:42
Stammheim Prison (German: Justizvollzugsanstalt Stuttgart-Stammheim) is a prison in Stuttgart, Baden Württemberg, Germany. It is situated on the northern boundaries of Stuttgart in the city disctrict of Stuttgart-Stammheim - right between fields and apartment blocks on the fringes of Stammheim. The prison was built as a high security prison between 1959 and 1963 and taken into operation in 1964.

Stammheim Prison became famous when it housed the leading members of the Baader-Meinhof terrorist group during their trials, as well as the courthouse in which they were tried. The section in which the terrorists were kept was specially built in 1975 and at the time recognized as one of the most secure prison blocks in the world. In spite of this, the arrested terrorists had firearms smuggled to them.

After Ulrike Meinhof had hanged herself on May 9, 1976, Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin and Jan-Carl Raspe reportedly committed suicide in the high security block during the night of October 18, 1977, which became known as the "Death Night" for the leaders of the Red Army Faction. Andreas Bader and Jan-Carl Raspe were said to have shot themselves, whereas Gudrun Ensslin apparently chose a method of suicide similar to that of Ulrike Meinhof. A fourth member, Irmgard Möller, stabbed herself four times in the chest with a stolen knife. She survived her suicide attempt and has since stated that the deaths were not suicide, but rather extrajudical killings undertaken by the German government of the time, a claim strongly denied by the German governments former and present. The deaths of the prisoners were among the events collectively known as the German Autumn, which also included a series of terrorist attacks and the West German government's response.

Officials in Baden-Württemberg announced in August 2007 they are planning to tear down the section of Stammheim prison where the leaders of the RAF terrorist group where held during the 1970s. They are considering demolishing the high-rise building because it is in urgent need of renovation and new prison quarters would be built on the site of the demolished building

For sale in former city of popes: one mediaeval insane asylum and prison. Exceptional location next to papal palace. River views. Cell space for 700. Hoteliers only need apply.

As part of its programme to sell off unused state property, France's finance ministry has put on sale the Sainte-Anne prison in the centre of the southern town of Avignon, one of the country's most popular tourist destinations.

Classified as a historic monument, the prison began life as an asylum in the 13th century -- around the same time that Avignon became the home of popes exiled from Rome. Up till 2003 it was a prison, and regarded as one of France's least salubrious.

"When the prison was closed the municipality wanted to buy it and convert it into a hotel. Sadly the price was too high," said Avignon's mayor Marie-Josee Roig.

Instead the rectangular three-story building around a central courtyard is open for bids. The only condition is that all or part must be turned into a top-class hotel with at least 110 rooms.

The ministry expects to obtain at least four million euros (5.9 million dollars). Several other disused prisons are to be sold off in the coming years.]]>

Alcatraz - Cell block
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: kjfitz
@ 2007-11-23 10:13:37
The Great Depression and Prohibition contributed to a severe crime increase during the late 20's and 30's, which produced a new era of organized crime. The nation witnessed a sharp rise in horrific violence, which was brought on by the combined forces of prohibition and great need. The American people watched in fear as influential gangsters and public enemies gained heavy influence in metropolitan areas and the authorities that were responsible for their safe-keeping. Law enforcement agencies were not equipped to deal with the situation, and would frequently be beaten by better armed gangs in a shoot-out.

Alcatraz was perceived as the best solution that the government could find in response to these problems. It could serve the dual purpose of placing public enemies away from the general population, and also to serve as a warning to this new and ruthless brand of criminals that were ruling the streets of the country. Sanford Bates, the head of the Federal Prisons, and Attorney General Homer Cummings led the project, and they were responsible for the finely detailed design concepts. One of the top security experts of the day, Robert Burge, was asked to help design an escape proof prison. The original cell block, built in 1909, would undergo an extensive process of upgrades and renovations.

In April of 1934, the work gave the military prison a new face and a new identity to the prison. The soft squared bars were replaced with very modern tool-proof iron bars. Electricity was routed into each cell, and all of the utility tunnels were cemented to completely remove the possibility that a prisoner could enter or hide in them for escape purposes. Tool-proof iron window coverings would protect all the areas that could be accessed by inmates. Special gun galleries surrounded the cell block perimeters, allowing guards to carry weapons while being protected behind iron barriers. These secure galleries, which were elevated and out of reach of the prisoners, were to be the control center for all keys, and would allow the guards the ability to keep an eye on all the inmate activities.

Special teargas canisters were permanently installed in the roof of the dining hall, and they could be activated remotely, from the gun gallery as well as from the outside observation points. Guard towers were strategically positioned around the perimeter, and new technology allowed the use of metal detectors, which were positioned outside of the dining hall and on the Prison Industries access path. The cell house contained a total of nearly 350 cells, which were very far from the perimeter wall. If an inmate managed to tunnel his way through the cell wall, they would still need to find a way to escape from the cell house itself. The inmates would only be assigned to B, C, and D blocks, since the primary prison population was not allowed to exceed 300 inmates (although the record was 302). The implementation of these new measures, combined with the natural isolating barrier created by the very cold Bay waters, meant that the prison was ready to receive the nation's most incorrigible and dangerous criminals.]]>

The PX or "Soldier's Clubhouse" was built in 1910. It was the general store for the soldiers and their families. Under civilian control it was the rec center for the guards - dance floor, gym, and two lane bowling alley and a soda fountain.

Burned in June 1970.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/alcatraz-post-exchange/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/alcatraz-post-exchange/ Fri, 23 Nov 2007 09:56:16 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/alcatraz-post-exchange/ 37.82780600 -122.42328400 <![CDATA[Alcatraz - restored guard tower]]>

Korydallos Prison Complex is the main prison of Greece, housing both maximum security men and women. Its most famous detainees are the notorious November 17 terrorist members. The prison has consistently been cited by Amnesty International as one of the worst prisons in Europe, both for its overcrowding and inhumane treatment of detainees. The Hellenic Parliament has vowed to improve conditions, but due to bureaucratic delays, little has changed.]]>
