Tower, Bastille, Sing-Sing, Butyrka are all ominous buildings with rich history. The first Republic of Estonia that was established in February 1918 founded a central prison (that people started to call simply "Patarei") in the buildings of a former cannon battery of a sea fortress. During various eras both criminals and visionaries have been imprisoned here. Recollections of those who have been prisoners due to their worldview include the pieces of Estonian and European history in 20th century.
