Burrel Prison

Burrel Prison (Albanian: Burgu i Burrelit) is a high security prison located outside the town of Burrel, in northeastern Albania at the District Police Station in Mat with a maximum capacity of 198 inmates.

The one-story structure is divided into three areas covering 21,000 square meters.

[2][3] There has been a movement by some activists to close the prison and make it the site of a memorial to those tortured and killed there between 1944 and 1992.

The government of Kostaq Kotta decided to build a prison for 2000 inmates,[6] but the project was not finished until 1939 due to problems with funding its completion.

Davis Guggenheim's 2014 draft of the screenplay of Bad Boys for Life opens at Burrel Prison.
