pudu prison

                                                Pudu Prison, Kuala Lumpur


Built in phases by the British colonial government between 1891 and 1895, it stood on Jalan Shaw.The cells were small and dark, each equipped with a window only the size of a shoebox .the prison complex was largely demolished, leaving only the main gate and a portion of the exterior wall still standing.

A few months after its completion, in August 1895, a cholera plague struck the prison and killed a few hundred inmates. Later, it was found that the plague was caused by the prison's water supply system, which relied on an old well belonging to the Chinese cemetery previously on the site. An inspection by the British colonial authorities revealed that the water in the well was severely contaminated by deadly viruses. The water problem was not fixed until 1898.



The prison was also self-sufficient as it had a vegetable garden that could produce enough food for its inmates annually.The prison later housed criminals including drug offenders and was a location for administering corporal punishment by rotan caning.
