Road prisons, or étapes (Russian: этап, from French: étape) were a type of a prison in Russia, used to temporarily house inmates on their way to Siberia, Sakhalin Island, or other places of far-off detention. Étapes were spaced every 40 and 65 kilometres (25 and 40 miles) along a road, each with its own detachment of soldiers. This temporary imprisonment system stretched from the 18th century, at the birth of the Russian Empire, to more modern times in the Soviet Union, and for some, arguably to the modern era.
