I have looked at it again. I found the place on google maps and openstreetmap.
From what I can tell the twelve U-buildings really is a prison complex, while the H-buildings do not seem to have a wall surrounding it.
There’s another even newer prison of similar size quite close it.
You can tell by the watch towers.
What I’ve also found is this in Ürümqi. This one lacks guard towers and no longer has a road leading up to it, but an adjacent road. Plus one space seems to be now used as a parking space. Has it turned into something else already?
This is another one. This one looks really really old.
This one has a giant hole in it on the left.
I stand by my guess that they’re just relocating their older prisons.
Thank you! I’ll keep doing some research and if I ever find anything, I’ll share it!
