===Bodmin Jail===
{{Main|Bodmin Jail}}
[[Bodmin Jail]], operational for over 150 years but now a semi-ruin, was built in the late 18th century, and was the first British prison to hold prisoners in separate cells (though often up to ten at a time) rather than communally. Over fifty prisoners condemned at the Bodmin [[Assize Court]] were hanged at the prison. It was also used for temporarily holding prisoners sentenced to transportation, awaiting transfer to the prison hulks lying in the highest navigable reaches of the [[River Fowey]]. Also, during 1918–19 in the [[First World War]] the prison held some material from Britain's [[Public Record Office]], including the [[Domesday Book]], but not the [[Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom|Crown Jewels]] as is commonly claimed: in [[World War II]] these were stored in [[Windsor Castle]].<ref>Aronson, Theo (1997).
