First of a two- parter exploring the history of the prison and the crimes of its most notorious inmates, as well as scandals hidden within its walls. The facility was built in 1852 and initially housed male and female prisoners. However in 1902 it became a female- only jail and had a new gallows installed, with its first victims being serial baby killers Amelia Sach and Annie Walters.
