The Provincial Prison for women in Barcelona, the main female penitentiary along the First Francoism, was originally a Correccional General de Dones (General Correctional for Women) of the Generalitat de Catalunya (Catalan Government, 1936-1939).
The young Carmen Tronchoni (València, 1915) was executed at the Santa Elena pit, on the grounds of Montjuic Castle, after being sentenced by the Espionage and High Treason Court of Catalonia.
