Pawiak (Polish pronunciation: [ˈpavjak]) was a prison built in 1835 in Warsaw, Congress Poland.
During the January 1863 Uprising, it served as a transfer camp for Poles sentenced by Imperial Russia to deportation to Siberia.
During the World War II-era German occupation of Poland, it was used by the Germans, and in 1944 it was destroyed in the Warsaw Uprising.
