 | | A 'normal' cell... |
The changes to the south entrance will include a learning centre around the cell area. The cells will be made ‘usable’ - not for criminals but as a tourist attraction. The cells comprise: 1 condemned cell - noticeable because it is the only cell with a fireplace - considered a necessary comfort to prisoners. 1 holding cell - for accused and sentenced just before or after their appearance in the Criminal court. Male & Female cells - along a very long and very dark corridor.  | | If you think this is gloomy you should see inside. |
Along the back of St George’s Hall there is a semi-covered passage way which was for the police vehicles to bring defendants into the cells. They entered at the North entrance, dropped the prisoners at the door and then drove the vehicles out by the South Entrance.
 | | The writing's on the wall. |
Inside the holding cell there are still marks on the wall made by prisoners who were held there. These include a message from a prisoner in 1871 who got 7 years! |
