Doftana prison

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other uses of "Doftana", see Doftana (disambiguation).

Doftana is a Romanian prison. Built in 1895, it was used in the 1930s to detain political prisoners. It is situated close to the village with the same name, in the Telega commune.

During the communist regime it was transformed into a museum, which has since been deserted, due to lack of funds. The facility is currently used as a paintball arena; there is no evidence that the irony of this was intentional.
