Prison

A popular and accessible history of life behind bars, from medieval times to the end of corporal and capital punishment in the 1960s. It tells the dark history of notorious prisons that overshadowed the lives of those who encountered them - Dartmoor and Pentonville, Marshalsea and the Fleet, Holloway and Reading, rotting hulks and the Tower of London itself. The stories of real prisoners are revealed including the unknown, the notorious and the celebrated. Features dramatic and previously unseen material from the National Archives: photographs, plans, case notes, letters and reports.
