Rajamahendravaram Central Prison is a prison located in Rajamahendravaram, Andhra Pradesh, India. In 1602, the Dutch constructed a fort in Rajamahendravaram. The British empire converted it into a jail in 1864, and then elevated it to a central jail in 1870. The jail is spread over 196 acres (79 ha) out of which the buildings occupy 37.24 acres (15.07 ha). In 2012, a few lawmakers proposed shifting of the jail from its present location to a new site in Jaggampeta. As per the proposal, the existing property was to be utilised for public amenities. 20 acres of land was towards construction of a sport stadium, 120 acres for the new campus of Nannayya University, and rest of the land going towards providing housing for the poor. This proposal met with criticism from other lawmakers that represented this region. More information...
