The prison was designed for what is known as the ‘separate system’, a regime that distinguishes prisoners from the disruptive influence of their prisoners.
The Victorians believed that it would help it to repent and reform.
Prisoners under the age of eight were held there from 1848 to 1878.
Lincoln’s prison did not only have little criminals. Seven killers were hung in the castle and their bodies were then buried behind the ‘Lucy Tower’.
The prison chapel is the only example of the remaining species in the world. As the priest preaches, he has vertical stalls that keep the prisoners separated.
Books and photos will be exhibited at Castle’s Magna Carta Vault until February.
Lincolnshire District Assembly Assembly Member Natalie Oliver said: ‘We are excited to exhibit this document for the first time and stands by an original Magna Carta from 1215.
‘Record offers a fascinating idea of Lincolnshire’s Victorian history and helps us to learn more about the lives of those who serve time in the prison of the castle.’
