Description
in the historic market town of Ruthin is the only Pentonville-style prison now open to the public in the UK. Its high walls, clean lines and superior ventilation system epitomise the style of Pentonville - but its dark cells and harsh regimes in Victorian times were far from grand. From 1654 to 1916, thousands of prisoners - men, women and children, innocent and guilty - passed through its gates. Colour version available
