Prison Directory

Choose the country first, then the region or state and finally the municipality. There you will see the profiles of every facility in that locality. If you already know the name of the facility, type it in the search box on this page and go straight to its profile.

Each profile shows the available data on the establishment: name, type of facility, responsible authority, address, phone, email and official website, capacity, intended population and visiting hours or regime when known. Data that does not exist in the source is not shown.

Every country section is published in its own native language, with its own web addresses (URLs) and sitemap in that language: Spanish for Spain and Latin America, Portuguese for Portugal and Brazil, and English, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Czech or Danish depending on the country.

When the hours appear in the data source, they are shown in the profile. Visiting rules change often and depend on each prison administration, so always confirm hours, requirements and documentation with the facility itself before travelling.

No. The directory is independent and is not linked to any prison administration or government. The information is compiled from OpenStreetMap open data and may contain errors or omissions. Authorities and facility managers can request a correction or update free of charge.

No. Only institutional information about establishments is published. There are no names, case files or search tools for people deprived of liberty.
