Napier Prison A brief Historic Story

A visit to Napier Prison offers you the chance to connect with the story of our past. Built in 1861, Napier Prison played a key role in the New Zealand Penal system for over 130 years. It remains the most complete example of a purpose-built prison from the provincial government era (1853-1876).

I stay there for a few weeks then were shipped out to Hautu , for 6 months and return there for the last 3 months on work release, I remember the screws getting upset with me. Because I would get pick up each morning at 7.30 by a lady friend in a 350 SL sport, and return each evening by 5.30 pm. The food was good and we would sit around after dinner and smoke drugs in the court yard before been locked up for the night, it wasn't all bad.

There is no such thing as a ghost cat - it's just superstitious imagination.

Thank you for sharing your opinion. Apart from that did you like the story. I think this is the most accurate version of the numerous accounts going around

Another poor quality documentary. We don’t care who you are. We want to know about the prison.
