	Pentonville prison
		It had separate cells for 860 prisoners and proved satisfactory, (to the authorities at least), thus commencing a programme of prison building to deal with the rapid increase in prisoner numbers occasioned by the ending of capital punishment for many crimes and a steady reduction in the use of transportation.
		In the 1920's, to save the prisoner having to walk the 25 yards to the gallows, a new execution facility was provided within the prison, comprising a stack of 3 rooms in the middle of one of the wings.
		The prison engineer was responsible for training new recruits and after they had had their medical and interview with the governor, he took them straight to the execution chamber where he showed them round and explained the equipment.

		Prisons are conventionally institutions which form part of the criminal justice system of a country, such that imprisonment or incarceration is the penalty imposed by the state for the commission of a crime.
		Prisons may also be used as a tool of political repression to detain political prisoners, prisoners of conscience and "enemies of the state", particularly by authoritarian regimes.
		Prisons form part of military systems, and are used variously to house prisoners of war, unlawful combatants, those whose freedom is deemed a national security risk by military or civilian authorities, and members of the military found guilty of a serious crime.

		'prisons were relapsing into their former horrid state of privation, filthiness, severity and neglect." Yet the legislature was alive to the need for prison reform.
		Meanwhile prison discipline in the elementary stage, as inflicted on lesser offenders, was continually discussed.
		In some prisons hard labour was insisted upon, and embraced tread-wheels or the newly-invented cranks; in some it did not exist at all.

	Victorian London - Prisons - Millbank Prison
		This important establishment was formed for the purpose of trying the effect of a system of imprisonment, founded on humane and rational principles; in which the prisoners should be separated into classes, be compelled to work, and their religious and moral habits properly attended to.
		The building is intended to hold 1,000 prisoners, and cost half-a-million, which, with ground rent, andc., represents an outlay per head for rent, andc, of about £50 per annum, or, as the prison is rarely more than half full, practically not far short of £100.
		Prisoners pass through here from Newgate and elsewhere as the first stage of “penal servitude,” and the discipline is somewhat severe.

		Millbank Prison is a modification of Jeremy Bentham's "Panoptikon, or Inspection House." The ground on which it stands was purchased from the Marquis of Salisbury, in 1799, for £12,000; and the building itself, which was commenced in 1812, cost half a million.
		Prisoners, not of the Established Church, may obtain leave to be absent from the chapel, and Catholics hear service regularly performed by a minister of their own religion.
		On the arrival of the prisoners at Millbank, the governor informed us, they are examined by the surgeon, when, if pronounced free from contagious disease, they are placed in the reception ward, and afterwards distributed throughout the prison according to circumstances, having been previously bathed and examined, naked, as at Pentonville.

	Tate Britain \| The Building
		Its official title then was the National Gallery of British Art and as such it was the fulfilment of the dream of the collector and sugar magnate, Henry Tate, who paid for the building and endowed it with his own collection of British art.
		The beauty of this scheme was that the building on Millbank could once again become the national gallery of British art, to be known as Tate Britain, thus reverting to Henry Tate's original dream and finally fulfilling it.
		In preparation for this a major rebuilding of the north-west quarter of the Gallery was undertaken, creating a new entrance and spaces for temporary exhibitions as well as new galleries for the display of the Collection.
