Today, three versions of Lucien Wercollier's Le prisonnier politique exist. All three of them are made of bronze.A first version was put up in 1956 in the Musée national de la résistance (National Resistance Museum) in Esch-sur-Alzette.
In 1969, a second version, made in 1954, was erected at the cemetery Cimetière Notre-Dame in Limpertsberg, as a part of the Monument national de la résistance et de la déportation (Monument of the national resistance and deportation).
After the death of Wercollier, the state of Luxembourg ordered a third version of the sculpture, cast from the artist's original gypsum model. This version is exhibited with a part of the artist's private collection in Neumünster Abbey.
