One of the fabulous items for Auction is A Tour of Wandsworth Prison. The tour is for 6 people and has been donated by Stuart.Wandsworth is a large prison in South West London, with a separate vulnerable prisoner unit. It is currently able to hold 1416 prisoners and is the largest prison in London. Alongside Liverpool, which is of similar size, it is one of the largest prisons in Western Europe.
The prison was built in 1851, and the residential areas remain in the original buildings. There has been extensive refurbishment and modernisation of the wings, including in-cell sanitation, privacy screens for cells occupied by more than one prisoner and the more recent installation of in-cell electricity.
