Background
District Jail Rawalpindi was a prominent jail in Rawalpindi, Pakistan located opposite Rawalpindi District Courts. It was established in 1882 on an area of 34.14 hectares (84.4 acres). The jail was inherited by the Punjab Prisons Department besides 18 other jails after independence. On 4 April 1979, the former President and Prime Minister of Pakistan, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, was hanged in this jail. In 1986, a new jail was constructed on Adiala Road nearly 13 kilometres away from the District Courts which was named Central Jail Rawalpindi.
