If anyone is into matching these entries to wikidata entities, there's a 
wikipedia page listing UK prisons, inc. historic & closed, at:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_prisons_in_the_United_Kingdom
and of prison hulks (ships):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_prison_hulks

Is anyone writing a property proposal for this?

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Can you help us review images for Wiki Loves Monuments UK 2018?

Hi Michael,

I'd also like to be involved.

[Wikimediauk-l] Historic Prisons database

[John Levin]

Dear list,

A heads up that there is a new database of historic (c19th) English prisons:
https://www.prisonhistory.org/
This is a pretty canonical database - I can't think of anything like it 
for any other place or period - with a wealth of detail, and much fine 
supporting material.
Have been adding links to it on historic prisons pages, but obviously 
can be used to create and enhance entries.
