Trip to Fremantle Prison

Anyone watching Prison Break? cool, I am not talking about the actor, but the structural of the prison. Recently, I have joined a trip to Fremantle Old Prison. This is a torchlight tours. A good experience with some surprises. During this trip i have taken few photos, let me introduce how the Fremantle Old Prison look like.
1st of all is the main entrance:

(this photo i took long time ago. It was a Sunday night and it closed. So remind you guys here, if anyone of you planing to have a torchlight tour, it is only available on Wednesday and Friday night. Bookings are essential for the tour.)

(this is the main cell block for the prison)

Then,

I will show you how does the wall inside look like. It is something like this:

(with wire netting to prevent the criminal escape from the prison)

(These guys are quite popular in Fremantle Prison Escape)

Next,

I will bring you to the psychopathy criminal part:

(this guy is try to act like a psychopathy and talking to the visitor, quite scary, but for me, I think he was funny)

Then,

I will show you guys the Gallows in Fremantle Prison:

(Each criminal awaiting for execution have their own rope. According to the tour guard, there are total 44 criminals executed in this place. Among of them, there is 1 women.)

Next,

These are how the cell inside the main cell look like. The furnishings inside the cell keep develop. Here I show you some of the cell:





(anyone know what is the uses of the 'tong" there?? hehehehe. Accordingly, actually each criminal has 2 tongs, one is for clean water, and one is human "waste material". Basically waste material is not rubbish, but is shit.)



(this one more modern, closestool provided inside the cell)

(yes, the pic in the cell was drawn by the criminal. This guy is quite artistic right? Nice drawing)


(another artistic guy, nice drawing, i will make the picture larger.....


(haha, another guy act like a criminal and describe his life in the prison. Actually quite funny)
