| Bagne de Cayenne | |
| The Bagne de Cayenne, also known as the Cayenne Penal Colony, was a notorious prison system located in French Guiana that operated from 1852 to 1953. The prison system was established by the French government as a way to exile convicts and political prisoners to a distant location where they could be forced to perform hard labor in harsh conditions. | |
