Section 102 and Storage
Overview

102/Storage This building can be found on the way from the medical area direction Vela Draga.
For lack of time I first only entered the right entry and became sure that this building was only used for storage purposes, because there where lots of high wooden racks I found inside. But today I found out that this is just a small part of the truth. The left entry will abandon the real face of this building...
Section 102 ...because this building is the so called "Section 102", including prison cells and solitary cells.

This picture shows a corridor with prison cells.


Window

Window

For sure the prison windows were closed by grates, but it seems they were removed short dated to reduce the dramatic to the public.

Courtyard

Courtyard

Courtyards were used for bodily activities. The bigger one (upper picture) is L-shaped, which is not visible here.

Cell

Pallet

Cell

The solitary cells. Much smaller and darker. The only light falls inside through small grates (the picture shows the room much brighter due to usage of flashlight).
The cell shown on the upper picture contains still a wooden pallet. On the floor in the left/aft corner is the toilet area visible.

The cell on the lower picture did not have such luxury. This cell may have been used for those cases of hardship which could not be made compliant with isolation in a standard solitary cell.
Pay attention to the fact that this cells width is not more than 1 meter!


Toilets

Bathroom

Shower

Toilets, bathroom and a shower which way of usage is a little bit obscure to me because of its special type of construction.

Door Passing this door of steel, you enter a room for concentrating prisoners and was used maybe as a temporary entrepot for bigger groups.

Workshop

Door

Apparently prisoners of section 102 had to work also. Behind this heavy, steel covered door of wood you'll find a workshop.
The anteroom is full of wooden pieces (perhaps waste of the production of furniture) maybe used as material to work with or as combustible for production processes.
