The condition of the inner yard of the &#8217;98 section of the prison defies description. The external walls of the site running from thirty to forty feet high were festooned with ivy especially along the north, east and south sides, so much so that the actual walls could not be seen. &#8230; Much to the dismay of the pigeons overhead and rats underfoot we set out to first push back the advance of nature and arrest the ravages of time and neglect.
