彭顿维尔监狱
Pentonville Prison
彭顿维尔监狱的建造是一项为期五年的试验,旨在观察监禁能否改造少年犯。监狱条件十分严苛,但刑期通常只有 18 个月。该监狱改造效果显著,被视为世界各地监狱建设的典范。它于 1842 年投入使用,至今仍在发挥作用。 该模型展示的是整个监狱的一侧区域,包括三层楼(病房)中的 120 间牢房。为了便于观看,该模型被分成了两个部分进行展示
Pentonville Prison was built as a five year experiment to see if imprisonment could reform minor criminals. Conditions were harsh, but sentences were usually only 18 months long. It was considered such a success that Pentonville was used as a model for prisons built around the world. It was opened in 1842 and is still in use today. The model is of one full wing consisting of 120 cells on three floors (wards). To make it easier to use, it has been split into two figures.
