Chennai Central Prison


My self and my friends Yogesh and Sivakumar have visited the Chennai Central Prison Yesterday(27th Feb).

These historic building is one of the unforgettable places es in Chennai and I feel sad that they are going to be demolished the historic place.

This central prison opened in 1837, this prison has housed various freedom fighters and many political leaders including the ex-Chief Minister Ms. Jayalalitha, current Chief Minister Mr. M. Karunanidhi and his son Mr. M.K. Stalin. It has also housed various state and central ministers and so on.



It had housed tousands of prisoners when it was closed back in 2007 and the prisoners were moved to Puzhal Prison.
