The tour of the Watch House consists of being processed as if having been arrested and thrown into the klink, well to some degree. No strip search etc. However, you are locked into a cell with a number of others and the lights are switched out.
The men's exercise yard, we are lined up against the wall.
The cell I was locked in, notice the toilet in the corner but nowhere to wash your hands.
Some were put in a padded cell.
No doors on the men's showers,
The women get a door but defaced it (Parent's Advisory: Profanity)
Mug Shots.
The Gaol was interesting, layout was based on Pentonville in London and was typical of late Victorian prisons. It housed a notorious serial killer who had travelled from London, Frederick Bailey Deeming, who some believed may have been Jack the Ripper. The Gaol was also the last home of Ned Kelly before his execution in 1888.
