🔗 “Thrown in the clink”?

It comes from The Clink Prison— a brutal medieval prison in Southwark.
Poor prisoners begged through street grates. Wealthier ones paid double for basics.
The name? Possibly the clank of chains.⛓️ #TheClinkPrison #LondonHistory #PrisonMuseum #HistoricalLandmarks

Fascinated by the use of the #Conciergerie at the #Olympics opening ceremony. Embracing its past as a #prison not a #palace with red streamers evoking the blood of the Revolution. #paris #prisonmuseum #frenchrevolution

Really interesting trip to La Model - former #prison in #Barcelona. Much to think about in terms of interpretation & the city has extensive plans for the site. #penalhistory #darktourism #prisonmuseum #publichistory #research
