It is located in Korydallos, Piraeus. Famous detainees include members of the anarchist urban guerrilla organizations Revolutionary Organization 17 November, Revolutionary Struggle and Conspiracy of Fire Nuclei.[1][2] Korydallos prison was also used as the place for the Greek junta trials in 1975,[3] and contains a special court in its basement.
