St. Alberts Prison

St. Alberts Detention Centre (known as St. Alberts Prison) is a Class 2 detention centre located in St. Alberts, near St. Helens, in the County of Howardshire. The detention centre currently is part of the Bancairn Penitentiary Establishment system and houses approximately 2'700 inmates.

History
The St. Alberts Prison complex was first built in 1936 as part of the new BPE program, launched by the Field Ministry in 1935.

Location
The remote village of St. Alberts, on the cliffs of northern Howardshire, proved a good location for the centre. The prison buildings were in fact built upon the cliffs themselves, as a means of dissuasion for inmates wanting to escape.
