Korydallos Prison

Korydallos Prison Complex (φυλακές Κορυδαλλού) is the main prison of Greece, housing both maximum security men and women. Its most famous detainees are the notorious November 17 terrorist members. The prison has consistently been cited by Amnesty International as one of the worst prisons in Europe, both for its overcrowding and inhumane treatment of detainees. The Hellenic Parliament has vowed to improve conditions, but due to bureaucratic delays, little has changed.
