Prison Saint-Michel

Toulouse, France (FR)

The prison which looks like a castle is composed of five wings of three levels. The wing number 3 was the one with the disciplinary cells (first level), the isolation ones and a few ones for teenagers.

Nowadays, Saint-michel is also a training camp for the ERIS teams (Équipes Régionales d'Intervention et de Sécurité), the French Prison Service's anti riots teams.

In the future, the jail Saint-Michel should be transformed into a cultural centre.
