Prisons
In
Victorian times,
if people committed crime they would get punished by going to prison
like now-a-days.
The prisons were terrible they were damp and cold with high stone walls.
Most of the time
it was people from the slums who were sent into prison.
The day started of with a prison bell ringing at half past six in the morning, the prisoners had to get dressed and clean their room with a small brush and a dustpan when the room was clean they would eat a simple breakfast and then have to work all day.
Men might break rocks or walk on a treadmill. Women might stitch sacks or pick okram.
