Prison

Old prison of Trois-Rivières

The guides (some of them are ex-inmates) will tell you about life in prison at the Old Prison of Trois-Rivières.

  

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.
