This puerta de ingreso (entry door) belonged to the house where prisoners and their wives would shares intimate visits at Pichincha 2080, Capital Federal.
Museo Penitenciario Argentino Antonio Ballvé, at Humberto Primo 378, opened in 1980 in an old 18th century building. Its solid walls, iron bars and sunny courtyards house exhibition halls demonstrating the history of the Argentine penitentiary system. The museum is named after Antonio Ballvé, who was responsible for sweeping reform in the National Penitentiary between 1904 to 1909, including the removal of the regime of silence and the regulation of the conduct grades, rewards and sanctions to prisoners.
The building, known colloquially as La Residencia (The Residence), was originally constructed as a school starting in 1734 under the direction of architect Andrés Blanqui along with Iglesia Nuestra Señora de Belen. Blanqui was succeeded during construction by Juan Bautista Prímoli and Joseph Schmidt and then later by Antonio Masella who completed la Casa de Ejercicios Espirituales y Capilla doméstica de los Jesuitas. After a 1767 expulsion of the order, the complex was reappropriated to the state. The Jesuits were locked up here for over a year pending deportation. The building was briefly used as a depot and barracks until 1795 when the Bethlemites took possession, to build a Hospital of Men, but became a "house of prostitutes and abandoned women." The State took control in 1822 turning it into a mental institution, and then a prison or women, debtors, and men arrested for minor crimes. When the National Penitentiary opened in 1877, all men were transferred and in 1890 the "Women's Correctional Asylum" was established under the direction of the religious order of Buen Pastor. When the order left in 1974, the Federal Penitentiary Service took over and transferred all women within three years, making way for the la Academia Superior de Estudios Penitenciarios and eventually the museum.
