Former Yilan Prison, Historical penitentiary complex in Yilan City, Taiwan.
The entrance hall of Former Yilan Prison displays traditional Japanese architectural elements with wooden decorative details and structural components throughout the building.
Established in 1898 during Japanese colonial rule, the prison operated as a significant correctional facility until its relocation to Sanxing Township in 1992.
The prison structure represents the implementation of Japanese administrative systems in Taiwan, reflecting the architectural and institutional practices of the colonial period.
Located near the commercial district of Yilan City, the preserved entrance hall welcomes visitors interested in exploring Taiwan's criminal justice history.
The original prison complex transformed from a peripheral location in early 1900s Yilan to becoming part of the city center's bustling commercial area.
