Wicklow Gaol Enter through the Gates of Hell

Wicklow Gaol is a place of past history and horrors. It was a brutal, nasty place. Today it that clearly serves to show man's inhumanity to his fellow man, woman and child. Those held within it's walls were real people, caught up in a dreadful world of suffering, torment and madness. No one however bad, ever deserved to be incarcerated in this way. When you walked through those entrance 'gates of hell', there was little in the way of compassion, love, or hope. There was plenty of barbarity. I did not enjoy our visit but I needed to see this for myself. My hope is that our society never descends to having such an accepted, institutionalized, house of horrors, ever again. Wicklow Gaol is a former prison, now a museum, located in the town of Wicklow, There has been a prison on the site since 1702. Prisoners were held at Wicklow Gaol during the 1798 Rebellion and the Great Famine, as well as many held prior to penal transportation to the colonies, particularly to Australia. The prison was closed down by 1900 but reopened to hold republican prisoners during the Irish War of Independence and Irish Civil War; the last prisoners left in 1924. In 1995 renovations began, and it reopened as a museum in 1998, claiming to be one of the world's most haunted buildings, due to the long history of suffering associated with it.
