Fleet Prison

Description: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleet_Prison

Descripcion foto: Fleet Prison was a notorious London prison by the side of the River Fleet (on today's Farringdon Street) built in 1197. During the 15th century, inmates were usually imprisoned here for civil rather than criminal cases, and inmates had to pay for food and lodgings, provide tips for prison servants and pay a fee for when they entered and leave the prison. Prison cells ranged from luxurious private rooms to inmates who slept two in a bed. The very poor in prison were even known to beg through a grate while in prison. During the 18th century, it was mainly used for debtors and bankrupts. It usually contained about 300 prisoners and their families. The prison was closed in 1844 and demolished in 1846.
