Fresnes Prison, Penitentiary center in Fresnes, France.
The prison contains three main sections: a large men's facility with 1200 cells, a women's section, and a medical ward for inmates.
Built between 1895 and 1898, this facility introduced a new architectural design with cell blocks extending from a central corridor system.
The prison maintains a memorial plaque commemorating resistance members who faced detention during the German occupation from 1940 to 1944.
Located in the southern suburbs of Paris, this prison serves as one of the three main detention facilities in the Île-de-France region.
In 2003, the prison experienced a notable security breach when an Italian inmate orchestrated a coordinated escape using explosives and weapons.
