thumb|Koror Jail {{Short description|Palau prison}} '''Koror Jail''' is a prison located in Palau. It is the only prison in Palau, and it is located on the island of Koror in a governmental centre between federal office buildings and the Palau National Congress. The 1 600 m<sup>2</sup> prison consists of two structures built in the 1970s and one constructed in the 1990s, and it is surrounded by an 2.4 m wire mesh fence and an 2.4 m concrete wall; a wall from the neighboring Ministry of Justice building also serves as a jail barrier.<ref>{{cite news|author=Michael J.

By 2001, Koror Jail has become a tourist destination thanks to inmates who create and sell elaborate wooden storyboards at a retail facility located on the jail's grounds.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Zn7Wv821uZ4C&dq=koror+jail+palau&pg=PA89|title=Diving the Pacific: Volume 1: Micronesia and the Western Pacific Islands|author=David Leonard and David Pickell|publisher=Tuttle Publishing|page=89|year=2001|isbn=962-593-499-5}}</ref>
