Newgate Gaol

Newgate Gaol is the primary detention centre and detainment facility in the United Kingdom of Group Chats.
== History ==
Newgate Gaol was founded in the Georgian era, and it was where many prisoners were detained and held for the duration of their prison sentence after being tried at the central criminal court at the Old Bailey.
Members of the public were allowed tours to look at prisoners as a means of entertainment, and prisoners could previously "bend the rules" if they paid enough money.
The practise was outlawed after the introduction of the Human Rights Act and the Metropolitan Police.
== Current ==
=== Prisoners ===
The prison is home to over 1,500 prisoners, who are deemed medium to high security risk by the government.
=== Death Sentence ===
The prison is also home to Solitary Cell 13, where prisoners facing an imminent death sentence stay in-order to await their execution date. The gallows are in a hidden room, the door to which is behind a bookshelf in the cell.
Prisoners are also supervised 24/7 in the wait before their sentence, and are also allowed their last rites.
The prisoner is typically not informed until the actual time his execution is due to begin at.
=== Warden ===
The prison is led by Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, who was offered the position after he retired from the Metropolitan Police (UK).
== Involvement with Sherlock Holmes ==
=== The Runaway Room ===
The prison will feature in the upcoming Sherlock Holmes RP, The Adventure of the Runaway Room.
