	Victorian London - Prisons - City Bridewell
		The buildings here have been much improved of late years; the principal part of this edifice was formerly appropriated to the teaching of trades to the apprentices on the hospital establishment, with houses for the masters, &c.
		Bridewell is named from the famous well in the vicinity of St. Bride's Church; and this prison being the first of its kind, all other houses of correction, upon the same plan, were called Bridewells.
		The seventh Report of the Inspectors of Prisons returned Bridewell as answering no one object of improvement except that of safe custody; it does not correct, deter, or reform; and nothing could be worse than the association to which all but the City apprentices were subjected.

	Going from Good to Bad: The History of Bridewell Palace
		Bridewell’s transformation from a palace to a hospital, an apprentices’ school, and finally a prison demonstrates the cycle of cruel treatment towards the inmates in the sixteenth century to the end of inhumane punishment and discipline of the prisoners in the mid nineteenth century when Bridewell finally shuts its doors as a prison.
		Bridewell was now into the next stage of its existence, a hospital for the poor and unwanted, and it gave them shelter (351).
		In the mid nineteenth century, Bridewell carried on much as before as a place of discipline and punishment in cruel forms of whipping and flogging to those outcasts instead of becoming a place that could teach and correct with moral behavior in otherwise less violent forms of punishment (358).

		Following this damning report, the superintendence of all bridewells of the south riding of Tipperary was placed under the governor of HM Richmond Prison, Clonmel – which was appropriate, given that these temporary places of confinement acted as reserve accommodation for that gaol.

	Playbill News: London’s Bridewell Theatre Company to Leave Home; Producer Jordan Chats
		The Bridewell Theatre Company can no longer pay the bills at the venue it’s named after, and after a decade of specializing in musicals, it will take to the road, performing in various venues.
		Bridewell hits like Purlie or Floyd Collins couldn’t have been done in the West End, because they’d suddenly be competing with The Lion King.
		Labelling the fact that the Bridewell received no significant government subsidy “a disgrace,” Jordan largely attributes the fate of the Bridewell to the fact that musicals, despite being expensive to stage and huge money makers when they work, are not seen with the same seriousness by funding bodies as are straight plays.

		"Bridewell" as a synonym for "jail" or "prison" refers to St. Bride's Well, a holy well in London close to which Henry VIII built a residence, which later became a hospital and, eventually, a prison.
		As a generic term for a prison, "bridewell" first appeared around 1593, and, as you've noticed, is still in use in Britain.
		Imprisonment seems to be one of those concepts that have set the old slang generator to humming over the centuries, possibly because most slang has, historically, sprung from the same lower classes most likely to land in jail.
