I did not enjoy. You can get an historical or Ghost audio tour. How ever my audio device stopped working after 5 mins. Tried to find a staff member to replace it but couldn't.

I found the staff member we initially dealt with hard to understand, his English was quite poor..

The prison had been used for various things since it was a prision. As an example there was a dilapidated metal garage type structure in the middle of one of the outside spaces. Not really an authentic prison turn of last century building. It was just run down buildings and outdoor spaces. Just as an example a broken down washing machine looked to have been abandoned outsde one of the buildings in full view of paying customers. Why?

Maybe i had higher expectations (i do love history and historic buildings) and my friend enjoyed it more than me, but for me barely a 1 star attraction.
