The jail on Saint-Stanislas Street, Québec City
In the early 19th century, the prison on Saint-Stanislas Street moved to a new building on the site that would become the Morrin Centre on Chaussée-des-Écossais Street. It was built between 1808 and 1809 according to plans by architect François Baillairgé. This jail stands on the ruins of the Royal Redoubt that the French built in 1712.
