Kresty Prison

Kresty (lit. 'Crosses') prison, officially Investigative Isolator No. 1 of the Administration of the Federal Service for the Execution of Punishments for the city of Saint Petersburg (№ 1), was a detention center in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The prison consisted of two cross-shaped buildings (hence the name) and the Orthodox Church of St. Alexander Nevsky. The prison had 960 cells and was originally designed for 1,150 detainees. Kresty was closed and in 2017 the inmates were relocated to a modern prison facility named Kresty-2 Prison.
