The army military prison at Trimulgherry in ,Secunderbad in India .
( An improved image of the institution with a modified text.)
The above partially hand-tinted original picture was taken by a British Army Officer
during his service in India in circa 1928 .
It is suggested in a Flickr user's comment text added to the original upload of the above picture that the Military Reformatory in Trimulgherry India has similarity to Windsor Castle , London because of its construction from a white stone ! Well, any white stone apart - I am very much bewildered by that proposition as any reasonable similarities with the famous London castle , be they cosmetic or concerning structural purpose are not credible .
In Flickr user's comment [ further below ] , the Indian prison is identified as a grim purpose built institution of punishment - a place with seventyfive bare, whitewashed cells and small windows wordlessly implying a regime of harsh confinements .
khandelwal99 has written : "It's near Mhow - Military Headquarters of War. Mhow is located 23 KM from Indore city."

In 2007 khandelwal999 commented :
Military Reformatory, Trimulgherry.
Trimulgherry is a suburb of Secunderabad in Andhrapradesh, India.
"The reformatory was constructed in the 1870s as a jail for the British Indian Army. Its cellular form recalls the famous Andaman Jail also built during the British period of Indian History. Its long corridors and verandahs, its austere cells and its execution chamber communicate a sense of awe mingled with respect. The building has both historic and architectural significance. It is maintained in excellent condition by the Indian Army.

"There is another place that has many whispered stories to tell: the Military Reformatory in Trimulgherry. Built on the lines of Windsor Castle in white stone, this heritage building that sends shivers down the spines of the more sensitive. Seventy-five bare, whitewashed cells with small windows tell you wordlessly what confinement can mean. Broad stairs become narrow and steeper as you climb the next level. A central room with spikes on the floor must give you some inkling of what’s to come. The steps leading upstairs are narrower still, more treacherous… designed in fact to be inconsiderate. You know then that you are retracing the steps of the 500 men who met their death from the gallows here. The pulleys hang high and the ropes lie limp but they’re ominous. A narrow rectangle aperture reveals the spikes below. Even further up is the roof, which tells you why this building is called ‘the Ironic Crown of Secunderabad’ – a round tower with crenellations rises tall out of the rocky ground, imperious and crown-like, promising sure punishment for treachery and insubordination.

Lenton Sands says:
When I first put the picture of the army military prison at Teimulghary on-line last year I did not realise the prison's grim history. When comment text from a Flickr user was added my reaction was to remove the image . After reflection I have reinstated it , since it is obviously a significant historical photograph . [L.S. April 23rd , 2008. ]

Captain Suresh ( June 22nd 2008 ) has said :
" I used to do "Duty Officer" once a week in 1986. Now this area can not be recognised at all, all around packed with building construction.
I think, the spelling of the name is not correct, its something like Trimulgiry
or Trimulghury. "
