Ruzyně Prison (Czech: Vazební věznice Praha Ruzyně) is a prison in the Ruzyně neighborhood of Prague 6, Czech Republic.
Construction began in April 1949 to renovate a disused building near Prague–Ruzyně Airport and the prison opened by October, to house the Slánský trial victims.[1] During the Communist era, arrested dissidents were held there, including Václav Havel, who later became President of Czechoslovakia.[2] [3] The prison is currently used to hold detainees awaiting trial.[4]
