Prison reunion planned

by isleofman.com 26th July 2008
Past and present workers at the soon to be closed prison in Victoria Road, Douglas will have a chance to get together and reminisce about the building next month.

The reunion, on August 7, will also give staff a final opportunity to look round the old jail before it closes down, and prisoners are transferred to Jurby.

Once that has been done the prison may be opened for public tours.

The prison in Victoria Road was opened at the end of the 19th century, and is being replaced after serving the Island for 117 years.

Anybody interested in the reunion should contact Deputy Governor Colin Ring (pictured, outside the Victorian jail) by August 4.
