audio by title emma taylor of norwich museums service takes mike stevens round the new prison exhibit at norwich castle

This is a recent addition to the Norwich castle Museum and it displays, in graphic detail the day to day life of its previous role as a prison up to 1887. Prisoners were kept in very harsh conditions, often for very minor offences. For some it was a stage towards deportation to Australia, for others a shorter trip to the hangmans noose. This is a splendid exhibition which lets you experience what feels like to be in a cell. Children can try on prison clothes.
