Case 79: Newgate Prison | Death, Torture, Famine and the Black Dog

Built during the twelfth century, Newgate Prison in London became well known as a place of great cruelty and wretchedness, with a lack of regard for the humans inside its walls.

It was reserved for some of the most notorious prisoners ever held under the death sentence.

It lacked fresh air and drinkable water.

Punishment was so inhumane that death was a blessed relief for the inmates.

The story of Newgate Prison is a witness to humanity's capacity to inflict pain and suffering upon each other.

The things that went on at Newgate over the centuries were looked at as normal conduct for their time but now we just shudder at these stories!
