The Old Melbourne Gaol


Now a tourist destination, with Exit signs.


Prison cells.

Storm

Today, a storm brewing over Caulfield Train Station

Courtyard



The courtyard of the Fremantle prison, where prisoners washed their (toilet) buckets and bought items from the tuckshop, watched by guards in the tower above them.

Flogging post





This is the flogging post found in a recently decommissioned prison in Fremantle, the harbor town of Perth. Inmates sentenced to flogging were bound to the post and then lashed with a can-o-nine-tails!

I took this photo during a eerie night tour of the Fremantle prison.
