Akatuy katorga

Akatuy katorga

Akatuy katorga prison (Акатуйская каторжная тюрьма) was part of the Nerchinsk katorga system of the Russian Empire in the Nerchinsk "okrug" of Transbaikalia. It was constructed in 1888 at the Akatuyskom mine, what is now the village of New Akatuy (Новый Акатуй). Originally labor convicts (mostly criminal) were used here for extraction of lead-silver ores. After the closing of the Kariyskoy katorga in 1890, it became one of the main centers of detention of political prisoners. It was turned into a womens penal camp in 1911 and was finally shut down after the February Revolution of 1917.
