Légende

Corridor, Newgate Prison, [London], 1850. 'The gaol of Newgate, beyond all doubt, has great defects compared with more modern erections... It is greatly to be desired...that no sentences (except for very short periods) should take place in Newgate. The perpetual excitement, the ever-fluctuating character of the inmates, the assemblage of criminals of the most flagrant nature, the constant recurrence of the sessions, make Newgate a very undesirable prison for purposes of lengthened confinement'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
