Prison Juliette-Dodu, Historical prison in Saint-Denis, France.
The Prison Juliette-Dodu occupies a rectangular plot measuring 96 meters long by 55 meters wide in the center of Saint-Denis.
The prison operated from 1718 until 2008, starting as a detention block in the Governor's Palace before becoming a dedicated correctional facility in 1771.
Archaeological excavations at the site revealed volcanic rock walls, drainage systems, and artifacts including ceramic fragments that document daily prison life.
The facility closed in 2008 when inmates transferred to the new Domenjod penitentiary center, and current plans involve converting the space into social housing.
Four ancient walls constructed from volcanic materials were discovered during excavations, with one structure remaining unidentified in existing architectural plans.
