The prison of the Pierre-levée in Poitiers does not receive any more prisoners since 2012.
It was in 1904 that the decision was made to build a prison in Poitiers to replace the one transformed by the Visitation convent.
It is built on the principles of panoptic and cellular allowing a supervisor placed in its center to see all prisoners.
From 1942, it was placed under the jurisdiction of the German authorities. Resistance fighters, communists and Jews were incarcerated there.
