| Notes about this image: | Newgate, the first state prison in New York, from an old woodcut. "South East View, New-York State Prison," 1814. Begun in 1796, Newgate was modeled after the Walnut Street jail in Philadelphia. Given the few architectural departures from the colonial design, it is not surprising that the prison suffered internal disorganization and frequent convict escapes. |
