Preferred term
Newgate prison
Definition
- Newgate Prison was authorized by the Connecticut General Assembly in 1773 to utilize incarceration as a punishment for crime, the same year that construction began on the more famous Walnut Street Jail in Philadelphia. All male offenders who were not under sentence for a capital crime were to be imprisoned at Newgate. [Source: Encyclopedia of Prisons & Correctional Facilities; Newgate Prison]
