The facility was established in Želiezovce in December 18, 1952. The establishment of a correctional-labor camp in the area of Želiezovce was subject to labor shortages, particularly in the agricultural sector. The facility was initially deployed at four locations. The basic department of the facility was located at the Karolína manor, with the staff accommodation. One branch department was established on the Veľký Dvor farm and another one in Nýrovce. The fourth department was established in Bela close to Štúrovo where were placed men enrolled in the I. correctional group. The aforementioned three departments provided imprisonment of convicted women who were serving sentences for criminal and anti-state crimes. To the department Veľký dvor were placed women convicted of anti-state crimes, in Nýrovce were placed convicted of criminal offenses with long sentences and repeated crime perpetrators were placed to the Karolína department. Convicted women worked in the summer time mainly on the state properties in crop and livestock production. Guarding has been ensured by the Service staff and members of the plant guard. In 1956 were the Karolína and Nýrovce branches closed in order to create a new single unit at the Veľký dvor.

In 1966 occurred a significant change in the life of the facility. Convicted women were transferred to other facility and vacancies were substituted by men enrolled in the I. correctional group. In the beginning was their work position similar to that of females, thus mainly in agriculture, but gradually were assigned to the construction and industrial production. In 1967 a Jarok branch was opened as experimental department for the imprisonment of men convicted for crimes of negligence. This experimental department was the first of its kind in Czechoslovakia, the predecessor of today's open departments. Despite the positive result was Jarok branch canceled in 1979.
