The Johor Bahru Prison (Malay: Penjara Johor Bahru), alternately Ayer Molek Prison, was a former jail in Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia. Known to locals as Kota Jail, it was opened in 1883 to incarcerate criminals in the State, as well as those who revolted against the British colonial government. On August 30, 2005, the prison's operations were relocated to Simpang Renggam in Central Johore, due to the very acute space shortage. Parts of the prison saw continued usage as a police lockup until 2018. Currently the prison complex is abandoned.
