Dartmoor prison Designed by Daniel Asher Alexander and constructed originally between 1806 and 1809 by local labour, to hold prisoners of the Napoleonic Wars, it was also used to hold American prisoners from the War of 1812. Although the war ended with the Treaty of Ghent in December 1814, many American prisoners of war still remained in Dartmoor. From the spring of 1813 until March 1815 about 6500 American sailors were imprisoned at Dartmoor. These were naval prisoners, and impressed American seamen discharged from British vessels. Whilst the British were in charge of the prison, the prisoners created their own governance and culture. They had courts which meted out punishments, there was an in-prison market, a theatre and a gambling room. About 1,000 of the prisoners were black Americans. Dartmoor was reopened in 1851 as a civilian prison, but was closed again in 1917, when it was converted into a Home Office Work Centre for certain conscientious objectors granted release from prison; cells were unlocked, inmates wore their own clothes, and could visit the village in their off-duty time. It was reopened as a prison in 1920, and then contained some of Britain's most serious offenders. : 2014, Dartmoor, Devon, England, Englanti, animal, eläin, kesäloma, matka, moor, nummet, summer holiday, travel Dartmoor A famous moor in Southern England with some sheeps grazing : 2014, Dartmoor, Devon, England, Englanti, animal, eläin, kesäloma, matka, moor, nummet, summer holiday, travel Shaun and Shirley Two sheeps, kinda look like Shaun the Sheep characters :). : 2014, Dartmoor, Devon, England, Englanti, animal, eläin, kesäloma, matka, moor, nummet, summer holiday, travel Dinner time A lamb and her mother eating by the roadside : 2014, Dartmoor, Devon, England, Englanti, animal, eläin, kesäloma, matka, moor, nummet, summer holiday, travel
