Preferred term
Bridewell Prison and Workhouse
Definition(s)
- Bridewell was the first correctional institution in England and was a precursor of the modern prison. Built initially as a royal residence in 1523, Bridewell Palace was given to the city of London to serve as the foundation for as system of Houses of Correction known as “Bridewells.” These institutions, eventually numbering 200 in Britain, housed vagrants, homeless children, petty offenders, “disorderly women,” prisoners of war, soldiers, and colonists sent to Virginia.
