"One of the architectural features that marks out the skyline of Haarlem, a
small Dutch city, is a 37.6m-high dome, crowning a rotunda. You might assume it
was built for religious purposes – until you notice the bars covering its 230
windows.
Operating as a prison from 1899 until 2016, the
Koepelgevangenis (“dome
prison”) is one of three panoptic penitentiaries built in the Netherlands. All
were shut down in the past decade as part of the country’s drive to reduce its
prison population and are now being repurposed as arts venues."
