Dhahban Central Prison (Arabic: سج٠اÙ٠باØØ« اÙعا٠ة بذÙباÙ), also known as Dhahban Prison, is a maximum-security prison facility located near Dahaban, Jeddah, in Saudi Arabia. It was built in 2015 as part of a renovation of the Jeddah Prisons infrastructure, at a cost of SR400 million. It has the capacity to hold 7,500 inmates. When it opened, 3,000 inmates were transferred there from Braiman Prison. In 2015, the regional director for prisons Mani Al-Otaibi said it was the most advanced prison in Saudi Arabia, with state of the art surveillance technologies.
