The exterior view showcases the imposing structure that was considered a model for all new prisons at the time, setting a standard for modern penal institutions.
Built in 1842, Pentonville Prison was not only an innovative approach to incarceration but also a reflection of changing attitudes towards law and order in Victorian England. Its unique radial design allowed for efficient supervision of inmates while promoting rehabilitation through solitary confinement and hard labor.
