Cork's former prison has been converted into a museum, and is the perfect place to visit to find out about inmate conditions.
This former prison, which was used from 1824 to 1923 - the year it was closed for reasons of insalubrity and overcrowding - has now become a museum where the living conditions of the prisoners are shown. From an architectural point of view, the prison, designed by Sir Thomas Deane and now a listed building, looks more like a castle than a prison! The visit of the prison, which lasts about an hour, is done with an audio-guide (in French) who will tell you in a very lively way the fate of some prisoners who passed behind these walls.

La visite de la prison est très instructive et permet de se plonger un peu dans un lieu particulier. On peut pénétrer dans certaines cellules et fermer la porte, ce qui permet de se rendre compte de leur exiguïté. Il y avait aussi une exposition intéressante sur la radio.
