Calls for New Prison to Separate Offenders at London Gaols
A Parliament committee report criticizes Newgate Clerkenwell and Coldbath Fields for crowding, lack of age and crime separation, and intermingling of untried with convicted prisoners. It warns prisons fuel crime, urges a new facility for untried offenders and tighter control of juvenile inmates to curb corruption and violence. The testimony includes details of juvenile delinquency, fees, and alleged police complicity in illegal house networks.
