Background
Belize Central Prison is the sole correctional facility in the country of Belize, located in Hattieville. The Kolbe Foundation, a non-profit, non-governmental organization, has managed the prison since 2002. It was formerly known as the Hattieville Prison. Its local nickname is the âHattieville Ramadaâ. Officials established it as a replacement for a century-old prison that closed and later became the Belize Museum.
