	This is the Penny Dreadful from when John Needham was killed in 1833 in front of the new country prison, now known as Vernon Gate.. A 'Penny Dreadful' was a broadsheet flyer that detailed all the facts about the man who was to be killed. These were sold to onlookers as the prisoner was killed in public..
	The Condemned Cell, known as "the room". This is where a prisoner would be kept if they were going to be killed soon. In this cell there is no window. Light was not permitted at all.

	Condemned cell door markings. Here you can see the actual marks left by prisoners in the condemned cell. Notice on the right side the date 1818 and at the bottom there are some initials inside a square.
	This is a chopping block where the prisoners would have their bodies cut open. They would be kept awake during this process by having cold water thrown onto their faces to make sure they endured as much pain as possible. Very nasty!
	This shows details of when James Preston was sentenced to death in 1796.
