Before its demolition, all inmates were moved out to El Frontón prison. The prison operated until June 1961, later being demolished in August. Carrillo Velasquez was the General Administrator in charge of the workshops. Carpentry, shoemaking, baking, printing, and bookbinding were among the trades practiced. There were several workshops in the penitentiary which produced a number of commodities using prison labor. Leguía were imprisoned there, confined there after the coup that removed him from power, although he did not die in prison but in the Bellavista Naval Hospital. The building existed for more than 100 years and characters such as President Augusto B. The front of the building reflected a severe architectural style, showing its reclusive purpose and trying to project an impregnable image, while the layout of the rooms inside included areas where prisoners worked during the day and cells where they were confined in the nights. It was located south of the city, near the Guadalupe Gate of the Walls of Lima.
After a study carried out by Mariano Paz Soldán, the construction of the building was arranged by architects Michele Trefogli and Maximiliano Mimey. The penitentiary was built between 18, by order of President Ramón Castilla due to the lack of a prison system in the country.
It had a panopticon layout, and was designed by Michele Trefogli and Maximiliano Mimey. The Lima Penitentiary ( Spanish: Penitenciaría de Lima), also known simply as El Panóptico, was a prison building that existed in Lima, Peru.
