The prison world... A resolutely world apart, and a negative microcosm of society.
Few positive things have taken place here, and for good reason. Those who do not deserve to be "free" (or rather "not locked")
were crammed into these small cells for sometimes many years. I don't pity them.
About staff which ensured the security of the institution, we don't find any trace. Anyway, nobody care about prison guards...
Very well preserved, it presents the classical plan of prisons built in the 19th or early 20th century.
Totally surrounded in the city, Prison19H offers today a quiet haven in the polluted and noisy city.

A watchtower.

Obviously, the staff here were armed. Hence the presence of hatches on the walls of watchtower.

Buttons and indicator lights. It feels almost like a spaceship.

A long mysterious tunnel.

The prison medical center.
To avoid risky transfer of the prisoners to hospitals, large prisons are generally equipped with such a center.

Back to the historical part.
Here we are in a time warp : doors and wooden walkways, cells originally not provided with sanitary, tiny windows.
