Luzira Maximum Security Prison

Luzira Maximum Security Prison is a detention facility in Kampala with multiple sections for different prisoner categories. The site includes separate areas for male and female inmates as well as different security levels.

The site has deep historical roots, with archaeological findings from around 1000 AD indicating the area was settled long ago. The famous Luzira Head, a significant artifact from that early period, was relocated to another location for preservation.

The facility provides inmates with educational programs and a substantial library to support personal development. These opportunities allow prisoners to improve their skills and spend their time constructively.

The location is accessible from the city center and situated in a defined area with clear access from surrounding roads. The best time to visit is during business hours when administration and various programs are active.

Inmates actively participate in food production by growing and harvesting vegetables and crops on the grounds. This self-sufficiency contributes both to nutrition and provides practical skills training.
