Pembrokeshire County Prison - Haverfordwest - Wales. - Retired Prisons on Waymarking.com

Haverfordwest Castle has been the site of prisons since 1188.

"One of the most important roles of the castle was to act as a prison. Giraldus Cambrensis records prisons here as early as 1188. In 1779 a prison for the county of Pembrokeshire was built within the remains of the castle. It was replaced in 1820 by a new prison building in the castle grounds, which now houses the Pembrokeshire Record Office. A number of artefacts, including a cell door, leg irons and the original lock from the castle gate are on display. Source: (visit link)
