Pollensa Prison?
 
A letter in todays Times may be of interest:
"PRISON LINGO
Sir, ........... “alfresco” in Italy is a euphemism for being in jail . In Pollenca, Majorca, there used to be a large lemon tree outside the old town jail. The equivalent euphemism was that anyone incarcerated was described as “picking lemons”. ............................
I J F S
Pollenca, Mallorca"


Where was the jail and lemon tree?

Ironic, clinkham, with your user name, that you should raise this subject ..

The prison is in Palma by the side of the Hipodrom, just off the Soller Road.
