Default 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?

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