Debtors' Prison Dublin, Former prison building in Dublin City, Ireland
The U-shaped granite and limestone building features three stories over a vaulted basement with thirty-three cells distributed across its structure.
Constructed in 1794, the prison held individuals who could not pay their debts until the amount was settled, with different cell options based on wealth.
The prison reflects the social inequalities of 18th century Ireland, where debtors from different social classes received varying levels of accommodation.
The building remains under the management of the Office of Public Works and stands between Halston Street and Green Street in Dublin's north inner city.
The structure served multiple functions after its prison era, including a police station, housing for police widows, and local authority accommodation.
