Carrington Prison

Carrington Prison is a prison in Carrington built in the 19th century. For many years this was Brunant's most secure, and notorious, prison.

History
Carrington Prison was built from 1887 to 1892. Following the closure of the infamous Mermaid Island prison in 1882, prisoners were sent to a number of facilities and eventually the most dangerous were sent here.

Capacity was initially for 350 people but by 1900 there were close to 800. It was expanded from 1912-1913 to house 500 prisoners.

Conditions were the worst for Brunant's prisons, with abuse, death and suicides rampant, often at the hands of guards.

A famous riot happened in 1927 in regards to prisoner living conditions, which resulted in the Royal Guard sending in 15 soldiers and the deaths of 11 prisoners and 3 guards.

Well-known collaborators and members of the WWII puppet government were imprisoned here in from 1945.
