Prison Oval

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prison Oval is a multi-use stadium in Spanish Town, Jamaica. It is currently used mostly for football matches. It serves as a home ground of Rivoli United F.C.. The stadium holds 2,000 people. The name 'Prison Oval' is attributed to the fact the football ground is on the same property as the maximum security Spanish Town Penitentiary. Some prisoners are able to watch the matches and other events held at the Prison Oval from the 'comfort' of their cells.
