| Have you ever wondered
what life was like for prisoners in an 18th or 19th Century jail?
Go on a journey through time, as you are transported back to the
18th century to a time when Gaol invoked fear into the hearts of
men.
|
Experience Prison life firsthand as you are arrested by our
vicious Gaoler and taken down into the dark dungeons deep
in the heart of the Old Courthouse.
You will be placed in solitary confinement, disciplined by
our school master, taken to the lunatic asylum, charged, fingerprinted
and face public humiliation in the stocks.
You will mingle with residents from years gone by as you
meet mad Mary Kelly, long term resident of the lunatic asylum
and downtrodden Michael McFadden who faces the horror of transportation
for pig stealing.
See for yourself how both sides lived as you converse with
the wealthy James Napper Tandy and listen to Catherine Darragh
who is doomed to live in abject poverty in the gaol, sick
with worry thinking about her "poor waynes".
How will you hold up under the strict regime of "HARD
BOARD, HARD FARE, HARD LABOUR"?
Will you ever see daylight again??!
Find out at the Old Courthouse today!!
