There have been more prisons in London than in any other European city. Of these, Newgate was the largest, most notorious & worst. Built during the twelfth century, it became a legendary place
- the inspiration of more poems, plays & novels than any other building in London. It was a place of cruelty & wretchedness, at various times holding Dick Turpin, Titus Oates, Daniel Defoe, Jack Sheppard & Casanova. Because prisons were privately run, any time spent in prison had to be paid for by the prisoner. Housing varied from a private cell with a cleaning woman & a visiting prostitute, to simply lying on the floor with no cover. Those who died inside
- & only a quarter of prisoners survived until their execution day
- had to stay in Newgate as a rotting corpse until relatives found the money for the body to be released. Stephen Halliday tells the story of Newgate`s origins, the criminals it held, the punishments meted out & its rebuilding & reform. This is a compelling slice of London`s social & criminal history.
