Adelabad Prison is a Pahlavi-style architectural ensemble in southern Shiraz, Iran, and serves as the city's central prison. It was first built on an uninhabited area south of the city, which Shiraz's expansion has since brought within its urban limits. Political prisoners held there include Navid Afkari, Kasra Nouri, Vahid Afkari, Ali-Akbar Masoumi Beigi, and Ezzatollah Sahabi, spanning the period from before the 1979 Revolution to the present.
