Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Consider adding a topic to this template: there are already 327 articles in the main category, and specifying|topic= will aid in categorization.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.

The prison was built at the end of the 19th century,[1] and first attested in a document of October 1901. From its establishment until 1938, it housed common criminals with sentences of up to two years. After the onset of KingCarol II's royal dictatorship in 1938, the prison began to be used for political prisoners, namely the leadership of the Iron Guard, including Corneliu Zelea Codreanu.[2]
During the communist period
From 1955 to 1963, a significant number of prominent political prisoners were held there by the communist regime.[2][3] Alexandru Vișinescu was the commander of the prison from 1956 to 1963.[4] In 2015 he was convicted of crimes against humanity for his treatment of detainees, and sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment.[5][6][7]
Unlike the much larger prisons at Gherla, Aiud, and Jilava, the Râmnicu Sărat penitentiary was rather small, with a maximum capacity of 300 inmates, provided there were 4 of them per cell.[8]
