Légende

The Devonport Borough Prison, 1857. 'This prison is calculated to receive seventy prisoners, and was erected...from the designs and under the superintendence of Mr. J. P. St. Aubyn, architect...[It] is provided with a chapel, necessary offices, and warming apparatus and was planned to afford accommodation for 120 additional prisoners in case it should become necessary...The discipline maintained in the prison is the separate system for the promotion of which that portion of the building occupied by prisoners, as well as the laundry, hard-labour pumps, and airing ground, have been laid out. The round tower...is a shaft for ventilating the building. The view, by Mr. R. J. Hallam, is taken from the south, and shows the entrance to the prison with the adjoining officers' residences. The builders were Messrs. Hoskyn and Co. of Devonport'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
