Paterei Prison in Tallinn is an old Soviet prison which held various victims of communism and nazism. Areas of the prison are open as galleries.


These outdoor areas were for prisoner recreational time. Each section has a single bench open to the cold winter elements of Estonia. Guards would watch from the walkways above. Information can be found
