Lukyanivka Prison
Lukianivska Prison ( uk, Лук'янівська в'язниця, transliterated: "Luk'janivsjka v'jaznitsja") is a famous historical prison in the Ukraine, Ukrainian capital Kyiv, located in the central Lukianivka (neighborhood), Lukianivka neighborhood of the city. It is officially known as SIZO#13 ( uk, Слідчий ізолятор№13, Slidchyi izoliator #13) which is a portmanteau for ''Slidchyi IZOliator'' ( uk, слідчий ізолятор). Though the facility is now functioning as a pre-conviction Detention (Imprisonment), detention center, it is still colloquially called a "prison". The compound now includes minor examples of the historical architecture. The prison is infamous for its poor condition. Since late February 2016 the complex is on sale; its buyer has to build a new detention facility outside Kyiv in exchange for the territory of Lukyanivska Prison.
