The Scheveningen location of the Hague Penitentiary Institution more popularly known as Scheveningen Prison is a famous prison in Belgisch Park (Dutch pronunciation:[ˈbɛlɣispɑr(ə)k], literally Belgian Park), a neighbourhood in the Scheveningen district of The Hague, Netherlands. The penitentiary in the east section of Scheveningen is located at the road Pompstationsweg.
The complex Scheveningen includes a Penitentiary Psychiatric Center, Limited Secured Installation (also called 'open design') and the Justice Center for Somatic Care (formerly the Penitentiary Hospital or Judicial Medical Center).
The Scheveningen prison was built in 1919 to house minor criminals. During World War II the prison was confiscated by the Germans and renamed Polizeigefängnis, but was colloquially known as Oranjehotel.[2] More than 25,000 passed through the prison, the vast majority being Jews, resistance fighters, and political prisoners. Most went on to German prisons and concentration camps.[3] 215 prisoners were executed at the Waalsdorpervlakte, the dunes opposite the prison.[2]
The complex became a prison again after the liberation,[2] however cell 601, one of the cells for people condemned to death, remained in authentic condition.[4] The original buildings were decommissioned in 2009, and were designated a national monument in 2010.[3] About two-thirds of the complex was torn down much to the dismay of the Oranjehotel Foundation.[2]
