The wall shows the scars of countless bullet
holes and bigger blasts, perhaps from American tanks. Inside
the walls are two jail blocks. The larger of the two is on the
right with 16 cells and was used for the male prisoners. The
smaller cell row on the left with 4 cells was possibly for the
women. It is rumored that Amelia Earhart was kept prisoner in
this building for the last months of her life. Between the cellblocks
are the quarters and offices for the guards. You can still walk
through the hallway connecting the jail cells and imagine how
terrible the living conditions must have been for the prisoners.
If you have any photos of this jail during
or before WWII please send me a scan. E-Mail
Me Thanks.
