Unidad Penal 7 de Resistencia
Unidad Penal 7 de Resistencia, Memory site and detention center in Resistencia, Argentina
The Unidad Penal 7 facility contains multiple pavilions that serve different purposes, including areas for transient inmates and rehabilitation programs.
The prison, which opened in 1928, replaced the former Cárcel Nacional and functioned as a detention center during Argentina's military dictatorship from 1976 to 1983.
The facility now stands as a memorial site where visitors can learn about the human rights violations that occurred during Argentina's period of state terrorism.
Located at Avenida Las Heras 1555, the facility provides educational programs from primary to tertiary levels and offers various vocational training workshops.
The prison's architecture follows French design principles, specifically influenced by the Prison of Fresnes created by architect Francois Henri Poussin.
