This federal prison is designed to house 600 prisioners, and has been planned so that it can be easily enlarged, to accommodate 1,000 inmates. The distribution is radial, and entry is via an administrative building, which lies outside the double metallic safety enclosure. A main corridor leads to the central nucleus, from which three other corridors branch off. The one on the right connects with five units, containing the cells, a general dormitory, the library, public hall, gymnasium and a school. The central corridor leads to further cell units, the admission office, hospital and secondary services, whilst the left hand corridor provides access to the chapel, the prisoners dining mess, kitchens and washing rooms. The building is of high quality and has a noble aspect, following modern trend in this type of constructions.
