🔒 Gikondo Prison

Gikondo Prison or Kigali City Prison is a prison in Kigali, Rwanda. It was built in the 1930s, and was only intended originally to house a few thousand inmates. Following the Rwandan genocide, the numbers increased to above 50,000 as a large proportion of the inmates were genocidaires. Those who were brought to the Gacaca courts to undergo trial for war crimes stayed at the prison.
