Old prison building at Presidio Modelo Prison on Isle of Youth, Cuba
The Presidio Modelo was a model prison of Panopticon design, built on Isla de Pinos (now the Isla de la Juventud) in Cuba. It is located in the suburban quarter of Chacon, Nueva Gerona. The prison was built under the President-turned-dictator Gerardo Machado between 1926 and 1928. The five circular blocks, with cells constructed in tiers around central observation posts, were built with the capacity to house up to 2, 500 prisoners in humane conditions
