  The Clink - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Clink was a notorious prison in Southwark, England which functioned from the 12th century until 1780 either deriving its name from, or bestowing it on, the local manor, the Clink Liberty.
The name of the Clink is the origin of the phrase "in the clink".
The origins of the name are uncertain, but it may have been an example of onomatopoeia, referring to the sound made by the prison's metal doors as they closed.
