Lincoln Castle and Victorian Prison

While in Lincoln, it would rude not to go and have a look around both Lincoln Castle and the Victorian Prison!

I always love looking around a old prison! Always hope that someone, will lock me side of the prison cells! Just for a number of hours! Something, very HOT about that idea!
