Doftana prison

[1] The prison is situated close to the village with the same name, in the Telega commune of Prahova County.

From 1924 it is noted that the inmates began to write and edit a newspaper by hand using paper slips and smuggled pencils.

[2] During the communist period of Romania just after World War II, it was transformed into a museum, which has since been deserted due to lack of funds.

The composer Alfred Mendelssohn wrote The Destruction of Doftanas, a symphonic poem about it.

Not only Romanian communists were imprisoned here, also captured German and Soviet soldiers and Hungarian civilians.
