In previous images from Kilmainham Gaol I posted photos taken from different types of cells. Although the prison itself was a harsh, tough institution, some parts were harsher or tougher than others. This is one of the walkways or corridors of probably the toughest section of the prison. The image of the cold prison light comes from this corridor, the cells are on the right hand side. The large windows on the left allowed light and fresh air into the stinking corridor and cells, there was no glass or shutters to protect the prisoners from the Irish weather. In the earlier days there was no light, just candles. Later on gas was piped in to bring light to the corridors, the pipes you see running along the wall on the cell side are the original gas pipes. Although the courts and many people will state that prisons are supposed to be tough we must remember that children as young as eight years old were sentenced to serve hard labour terms in this corridor, their crime was stealing food. Kilmainham Gaol was built in 1796 when Ireland was under British rule, the gaol replaced an old dungeon type institution. Following the Easter rebellion against British rule in 1916 a number of Irish rebels were interred in Kilmainham before being executed in the stone breakers yard of the prison. The prison closed some years later then fell into decay and disrepair before being rescued and refurbished by volunteers in the 1960's. Kilmaniham Gaol is now in the care of the State and is a tourist attraction. A number of movies were made there including Michael Collins, In The Name of The father and The Italian Job, amongst others.

This Mason slide could not be further removed from yesterday's one. We've gone back decades, and find ourselves in the central hall of Kilmainham Gaol/Jail in Dublin. It looks relatively spruce and freshly painted. And those bundles are allegedly piles of clothes, according to our catalogue...

This is an unsold TV pilot circa 1965 in which a cowboy bank robber serves time in prison, then returns as a prison guard after his release because he has learned that his former cellmates have valuable secrets. There is a reason it was unsold. However, today, with the right director it could make for an interesting movie.

Nu ook een zwart/wit foto omdat dit de gevangenissfeer wat realistischer weergeeft dan die kleurenfoto's met mooi warm licht enzo.
Caraffa´s Prison is late Gothic building from the beginning of the 16th century, completing the building of city hall today. This is one of the few preserved Gothic monuments in Prešov.
The building was built in 1504 – 1509 on a plot of a town council member, a painter Peter Moler, whose house in Main Street was purchased by the municipality and adapted to a town wine cellar. The building was used to store wine barrels and other equipment until the end of the 17th century. Moreover, the archival records from 1530 have it that the building was also used as a prison because of its location near the town-hall.
The building was given its name in the time of the Prešov bloody slaughter-house of Prešov in 1687. Based on an unjust verdict of the Emperor´s general Antonio Caraffa from Naples, 24 Hungarian yeomen and burghers were executed in the square near Evangelic Collegium.
One of the torture chambers established by Caraffa for examining the accused was situated in the underground places of the present town-hall which, at those times, constituted a single architectonic unit including Caraffa’s prison. However, the victims of Caraffa’s verdict were not imprisoned in this building. The name may have been given later, perhaps after its characteristic shapes. Some written records indicate that the building was also used for keeping check gauges and scales; moreover, it functioned as a town armoury for some time, and as a town prison in the second half of the 19th century.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the building started to serve for archiving municipal written documents. In 1955-56, the building, especially its interior, was adapted to its future purpose of archiving written documents of Prešov.

Dartmoor Prison is perhaps the most notorious prison in England, and it's more than 40 years since I was last inside. Not as an inmate I hasten to add, but when I worked at the Home Office! Many of our old prisons date from the middle of the 19th century, but Dartmoor is older than that, and was originally constructed to hold French prisoners from the Napoleonic wars.
It doesn't really deserve its reputation and has never been a particularly high security prison. Prisoners have been allowed out to work in quarries on the moor or on the prison's farm. These days it is a category C prison - other than open prisons this is the lowest form of security. I'm not sure how things are these days, as the Prison Service seems to have gone downhill along with many other of our public services. But it used to provide a wide range of vocational training as well as various employment opportunities within the prison itself and in its farms and gardens.
The prison is situated at Princetown, on the western side of Dartmoor.
