Tyuremny zamok

[Steve Marder]

For "peresyl'naya tyur'ma," perhaps "transit prison."
 
> Would you help me to find an accurate definition for тюремный замок (tyuremny
> zamok), which seem to have been built all over
> the Russian Empire starting from Catherine II until the 1917 Revolution, after
> which they were briefly renamed as "дома лишения
> свободы" (doma lishenya svobody).
> 
> The problem is that they seemed to have existed along with "остроги" (ostrogi)
> and пересыльные тюрьмы (peresylnye tyur'my).
> 
> Butyrka was one of them.

> How can they be distinguished or more precisely defined?
> 
> The only occurences I found so far are descriptions of local prisons (in
> Kishinev, on the Sibirsky trakt etc...).
