==History and facilities==<br />
[[Kerala]] Chief Minister [[Oommen Chandy]] laid the foundation stone for the first high security prison on 17 June 2011 at [[Viyyur]], [[Thrissur]] City. The prison would be constructed in a 10-acre plot adjacent to [[Central Prison, Viyyur]] at an expense of {{INR}}20 [[crore]] and is expected to be completed in two years. The prison will have two compound walls, six-layered security scanning for visitors and CCTV in every cell, double-layer peripheral wall, five watch towers, a hi-tech video conference hall for trials, two hydraulic gates, single cells for solitary confinements and a hospital with mini-operation facility. A 250 sq ft lawn would be developed surrounding the prison wall to avoid hand grenade attacks and personnel with a technical background would be deployed at the new facility.<ref>{{cite web<br />
