      If you visit Veenhuizen, don't forget to visit the fourth institution. That is the cemetery. Worth a look. There too, everything according to rank and position and buried according to faith according to faith. Protestants with Protestants and Roman Catholics with Roman Catholics. The prisoners in row and number. No names, a single stone placed by family, but prisoner a1 etc. Of course they know who is buried there, but that is and will not be made public.

        Did you know that Veenhuizen is still a prison village to this day? In the National Prison Museum, which is located in a former work asylum, you can learn in an interactive way about dealing with crime and punishment in the Netherlands from 1600 to today.
