Penitentiary Doftana .

in #life7 years ago

Doftana is the name of a famous prison in Romania, located in Telega, Prahova County. The prison building was put into use in 1895 and was used until the 1960s for the imprisonment of political prisoners alongside common law detainees. It was later transformed into a museum. After 1990, for lack of funds, it was abandoned.
