Shrewsbury Prison is defined by repetition, order and control.
As you explore, the design of the prison becomes clear, long sightlines, stacked landings and rows of cells built to enforce routine and discipline. Prison Entry gives you the time and space to observe how incarceration functioned day after day within a large operational prison.
This is not a reconstructed environment. It is the real structure in which prison life unfolded.
