This central prison in the Russian Compound in downtown Jerusalem was active during the British occupation of the Holy Land, when hundreds of prisoners were kept in this facility, many of them members of the Jewish underground. During the 1948 War of Independence, the prison was captured by Jewish fighters. The museum’s exhibitions are the prison cells and the prison grounds that are filled with memories and stories from the pre-state days.
