The prison village of Veenhuizen

The prison village of Veenhuizen was developed in the early 19th century as a place where anti-social families, the jobless and the poor of Amsterdam were sent to be reformed. One poorhouse has been turned into a rather good museum and two of the prisons still hold prisoners – you can visit the outside in a minibus.
