RUTHIN GAOL

The former prison of Ruthin has been transformed into this excellent museum which relates the living conditions of the prisoners who stayed there until its closure at the beginning of the 19th century. The construction of individual cells in 1866, as well as the obligation to work, were supposed to lead to the improvement of detention conditions. The audio commentary and panels explain the link between poverty and incarceration during the Victorian era. Very good and informative visit, very well adapted for everyone!
