Wronki Prison

It was built in 1889 by the Prussian government of Germany and brought into use in 1894 as the Zentralgefängnis für die Provinz Posen.

[4][6] In 1890, the New York Times reported that a "town prison" building in Prussian Wronke was the site of a fatal scaffolding collapse.

[5] At least 804 people (out of about 20,000 who passed through it at that time) died in the Wronki Prison during German occupation of Poland.

[4] A notable group of prisoners early on was formed from former soldiers of the Polish Home Army.

[4] Its official capacity is 1474 inmates; overcrowding (in late June 2009 it held 1658; in 2004 it had 1783) is causing concern.
