Location of Kaliti Prison within Addis AbabaLocation within Akaky Kaliti, one of the subcities of Addis Ababa
Kaliti Prison is a maximum security prison in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Commonly referred to as a gulag (locally known as "Maremiya" which means correction center) it serves as the main prison of the country.[2] It is 11 km south of central Addis Ababa, in Akaki Kaliti, the southernmost subcity of the nation's capital.[3]
The original prison compound is a makeshift structure that was built after 1991 when the Derg regime fell and was not intended as a prison. Most of the structures built by 2004 had been built by prisoners by their own means and with help from NGOs.[3]
