Zakład Karny w Białej Podlaskiej, Correctional facility in Biała Podlaska, Poland.

The Zakład Karny w Białej Podlaskiej is a correctional institution located in Biała Podlaska in eastern Poland. The facility comprises a main complex housing different types of offenders and a separate external division at Zabłocie that provides additional capacity.

The institution was established in 1898 on land confiscated from the Sisters of Charity order. It replaced an earlier prison that had operated in the cellars of Radziwiłł Castle.

The facility maintains a library, sports hall, chapel, art workshop, and work club, providing educational and rehabilitation opportunities for inmates throughout their sentences.

Visitors can access the facility on specific days during weekends, though advance arrangements and security procedures are required. It is best to check current visiting conditions beforehand, as regulations may change based on operational circumstances.

During World War II, the facility faced severe overcrowding while under Gestapo control. Clandestine groups within the prison coordinated escape attempts, demonstrating resistance despite the harsh circumstances.
