Description: | The prison was built in 1847 and enlarged in 1857. This room originally housed a treadmill, which was used as a form of hard labour; the pointlessness of the task being part of the punishment. Nowadays the workshop allows inmates to work for extra cash and gives them useful experience. | Subjects: | Institutional Crime And Punishment Prison Workshop Industry | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Thomas, R | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
