went down to the historic melbourne gaol yesterday
( that's jail for you americans ;) )
this is what the inside looks like. three levels of hallways with cells off to the side. it was so dark and freezing cold.
really small cells.
this is where the hung people. they would lock their hands and feet together and put a mask over their heads and then put the rope around their neck. then, the little door in the floor would open and then they would drop...creepy.
after walking through gaol, we went on what we though was a guided tour of the old holding gaol next door, but when we walked in they pretended like we were in jail. it was kind of scary at first!
mug shots and all.
locked up in a gaol cell in complete dark for the night
(with a really good camera flash)!
