Lincoln Castle: Victorian Prison
Description
The Victorian Prison within the castle was only in operation for a few years before a much larger purpose built prison was built on the outskirts of town, but the site has been a jail for much longer than the building on the site today. You can walk around the two wings of the prison - the Womens and the Mens and see exhibits on what life would have been like in the cells and in general. You can go out into the small exercise yard to see the space prisoners had to stretch their legs in, and visit the prison chapel which was designed with the idea of keeping everyone in isolation - no prisoner can see another.
