I went on a self-guided rather than organised tour where you are given a map and left to explore on your own and at your own pace. A truly fascinating visit giving an insight into prison life and how it has changed over time; I'm very glad I've managed to stay on the straight and narrow so far! Very chilling to have stood in the execution room where they used to hang unfortunate prisoners,

Great visit, although we wish we had done the guided tour really interesting insight as to the life of a prisoner. If this place in not an insensitive to behave yourself on the outside, then I don’t know what is ???? We will definitely be returning for the guided tour!

We visited here whilst staying local. The lady who checked us in-so sorry we didn’t get a name! She had handcuffs earrings and cracked a Shakin Steven’s joke, was excellent, very knowledgeable and informative. We toured the prison in our own and enjoyed all of it, the only downside was the cold but this is no one’s fault, just wrap up warm before you go!

What a great place to visit and see what a more modern prison is like. We enjoyed seeing the cells through the years, learn about healthcare in prison and seeing all the different areas of a prison including sitting in the prison van! It felt like some areas had been left as they were when it closed.
