About

The Alipore Jail or Alipore Central Jail, also known as Presidency Correctional Home, is a defunct Indian prison in Alipore, Kolkata, where political prisoners were kept under British rule. It also housed the Alipore Jail Press. It is no longer in operation as a jail, having been shut down on 20 February 2019. The jail site has been now developed into an independence museum in memory of the martyrs who were imprisoned and executed there.
