Prison in Kłodzko, Correctional facility in Kłodzko, Poland.
The Prison in Kłodzko is a closed-type penitentiary for repeat offenders. Its main building, erected in 1889, was built in the shape of the letter Y. The complex is split into two architecturally separate groups of buildings by the public road ul. Hołdu Pruskiego.
The prison buildings were erected in 1889 in a Y-shaped plan, and inmates previously held at Kłodzko Fortress were moved here. A tuberculosis ward opened in 1928 and was reopened in 1951, operating until 1975. In May 1945 Polish authorities took over the site with a military administration; during the Stalinist period Germans, underground soldiers and independence activists were held here.
The prison runs a blood donors' club that marked its 15th anniversary in 2014, and it keeps an archive repository on site. The site is split into two architecturally separate compounds by Hołdu Pruskiego, a public road running between them.
The prison is split into two architecturally separate compounds by the public road ul. Hołdu Pruskiego, so the two parts are not directly connected. It is a closed facility for penitentiary recidivists, and visits follow the rules of the Prison Service. The site lies within Kłodzko's street grid, near the town centre.
The prison is split into two architecturally separate compounds by the public road ul. Hołdu Pruskiego, so the facility has no single continuous perimeter. Inside, a blood donors' club has operated for years and marked its 15th anniversary in 2014.
