Centre pénitentiaire de Rennes

The Centre pénitentiaire de Rennes is a women's prison of the French Prison Service in Rennes, Brittany, France. It is the largest women's prison in France,[1] and it is the only correctional facility in France exclusively for women. Coincidentally, it is also the smallest women's prison in France. Its operations began in 1878.[2] The prison also inspired the character “Rennes” name from the 1997 Canadian horror film Cube.
