Oryol Prison, Regional cultural heritage prison in Oryol, Russia.
The prison facility, located at 10 Krasnoarmeyskaya Street, consists of multiple buildings housing detention cells and a specialized tuberculosis treatment ward.
Established in 1840, the prison gained notoriety during World War II when Nazi forces converted it into a concentration camp from 1941 to 1943.
The prison structure represents nineteenth-century Russian institutional architecture and maintains its original layout within the Oryol city center.
The facility currently operates as investigatory isolation ward SIZO-57/1 under the management of the Russian Federation's Federal Penitentiary Service.
During Easter 1951, inmates endured extreme conditions, as documented by former prisoner Latkovska-Wojtuskiewicz in detailed written accounts.
