Nizhny Novgorod prison, Former correctional facility in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.
The red brick prison building exhibits architectural elements from the late imperial period of Russia, with massive walls and watchtowers at each corner point.
The prison operated throughout the Soviet era and housed political prisoners during various periods of Russian history, marking significant shifts in the justice system.
The prison structure represents the evolving approach to incarceration in Russian society, reflected in its architectural design and internal organization methods.
Guided tours of the prison facility occur between 10:00 and 16:00 daily, with advance reservations required through the official tourism office.
The prison's central courtyard contains markings made by inmates over decades, forming an unintentional chronicle of the facility's population through time.
