The Central Arrest in the Warsaw Ghetto, officially the Central Arrest for the Jewish Residential District (German: Zentralarrest für den jüdischen Wohnbezirk), commonly referred to as GÄsiówka, was a prison facility in the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II. It operated from 1941 to 1942.
The detention center was located on the site of a pre-war Polish military prison at GÄsia Street. It was formally subordinate to the Polish Police of the General Government ("Blue Police"), while its staff consisted of members of the Jewish Ghetto Police. The facility detained Jews accused of offences against German occupation regulations. In spring 1942, approximately 190 Roma and Sinti individuals were also held there.
