Maison d'arrêt in Strasbourg in the first half of the 19th century

Maisons d'arrêt ("houses of arrest") are a category of prison in France, Belgium and other French-speaking countries, which hold prisoners awaiting trial or sentencing, or those being held for less than one year.

In the Netherlands the Huis van bewaring or Huis van arrest has the same function; the name is a literal translation from the French.
