The National Justice Museum in Nottingham

I was staying in a very convenient AirBnB in the center of Nottingham. About five minutes walk away was the National Justice Museum. A very impressive museum giving the history of crimminal reform and extraordinary conditions that existed in prisons and courts from the 1700 onwards. Names like John Howard and Elizabeth Fry are well known. Britain still had the death sentence until 1964. Of particular interest (having been to the Tasmanian prison) was the history of Transportation. Convicts were transported to the American colonies until the American revolution in 1776. The museum visit was made the more interesting by the performances by professional actors including the dramatisation of a public hanging.
