Det gamle statsfængsel, oprindeligt kaldet Horsens Straffeanstalt, åbnede i 1853. Helt til 2006 fungerede det som fængsel. Kun mænd var indsat i fængslet, som blandt andet indeholder en kirkesal. Fængslet dækker et område på 20.000 kvadratmeter. I dag afholdes der blandt andet koncerter på området. Fængselsmuseet, som er en del af Horsens Museum, viser celler og diverse effekter fra fængslet. Både fra fanger og ansatte. Man kan også se forskellige remedier brugt til afstraffelse og læse om dagligdagen i fængslet og de mange flugtforsøg.
