This is interior of Saint Michel Jail (Maison d'arrêt Saint Michel). You could see that they put nets to avoid prissoners jumping to the ground. This prison were build in 19th century, with red bricks and little stone, typical Toulousaine Building.

I have no idea how the prissoners using this staircase. This prison from outside look like a castle, build in 19th century, no longer use nowdays.
The lines of people who want to visit Maison d'arrêt Saint Michel / Prison Saint Michel. This building was open to public during Journée du Patrimoine 21 - 22 September 2008.
