Direction interrégionale des services pénitentiaires de Dijon, Prison administration office in Dijon, France
The Interregional Directorate of Prison Services in Dijon is an administrative office that oversees multiple detention facilities and correctional institutions across Bourgogne-Franche-Comté and Centre-Val de Loire regions. The office manages the operation and coordination of prisons, holding centers, and specialized healthcare units within its jurisdiction.
The directorate was established to centralize the management of correctional facilities across multiple French regions. The administrative building was renovated and expanded in recent years to provide modern office facilities for its staff.

The office is located in a central area of Dijon and is accessible during business hours. Visitors should note that this is an administrative facility with limited public access and advance notice is recommended.
Guillaume Piney leads this directorate as of November 2022, managing multiple detention centers, prisons, and hospital units across two administrative regions.
