Prison

Old prison of Trois-Rivières

The guides who answer visitors’ questions at the Old Prison of Trois-Rivières are former inmates.

 

 

Based on personal accounts and faithful reconstructions, the Musée québécois de culture populaire Go To Jail exhibit gives visitors a very strong, very real and sometimes disturbing experience.

Entering the Old Prison of Trois-Rivières is much more than just a visit to a historic building; it’s a glimpse at prisoners’ living conditions in the penal system
