Marmara Prison, State prison in Silivri, Turkey
The Marmara Prison complex spans 437,000 square meters and contains nine blocks, including eight L-type correctional institutions with multiple inmate units.
The prison facility opened in 2008 to replace the insufficient Bayrampaşa Prison during Istanbul's urban growth, requiring three years of construction from 2005.
The prison complex includes educational facilities, workshops, a mosque, sports grounds, and a library to support inmate rehabilitation and daily activities.
Located 9 kilometers west of Silivri on the E84 highway, the prison implements biometric scanning and iris recognition technology at entry points.
With a capacity of 10,904 inmates upon opening, Marmara Prison stands as the largest penal facility in Europe, featuring dual-surveillance systems throughout.
