At this time cells were often still filthy overcrowded places with men, women and children locked up together. This picture was taken at Bodin Goal. Bodmin Gaol, the former County Prison, originally was built in 1777 and replaced the old Debtor's Prison. The Gaol as it is seen today was largely rebuilt in the 1840's and again in the 1850's each time increasing in size as the population grew.
