'''HM Prison Shrewsbury''' was a [[Prison security categories in the United Kingdom|category B/C]] men's prison in [[Shrewsbury]], [[Shropshire]], England. It was decommissioned in March 2013, and is now open to the public.
The Victorian prison as seen today sits on top of the original Georgian prison, the remains of which are still accessible underneath the current buildings. The former prison site, on Howard Street, adjacent to [[Shrewsbury railway station]], is near the site of the Dana Gaol, a medieval prison. The name '''The Dana''' is still often used for the prison, as well as being the name of the road to one side of the prison and the pedestrian route that runs from near the front of the prison into the town centre via a footbridge over the station.
Shrewsbury Prison is now open to the public as an interactive tourism destination, The Campbell Group runs guided tours, ghost tours and various activities throughout the 4 acre-site. The prison will continue to operate as a tourism destination and there are now no plans for re-development.
==History==
There has been a prison on the site since 1793, the original building being constructed by [[Thomas Telford]] to plans by Shrewsbury architect [[John Hiram Haycock]];<ref>{{cite book|last=Colvin|first=H.|title=A Biographical Dictionary of British Architects 1600-1840|year=2008|publisher=Yale University Press|page=482|edition=3rd}}</ref> the present prison building was constructed in 1877.

For 20 years, [[Samuel Allen (bishop)|Samuel Webster Allen]] was the [[Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] chaplain at the prison before being made the [[Roman Catholic Bishop of Shrewsbury|Bishop of Shrewsbury]] in 1897.<ref>{{cite book|last=Mate|first=C.H.|title=Shropshire, Part II: Historical, Descriptive, Biographical|year=1907|publisher=Mate|page=26}}</ref> Former [[Wales Rugby Union]] international player [[John Strand-Jones]] was the part-time [[Church of England]] chaplain from 1930 to 1934.<ref>{{cite book|title=Crockford's Clerical Directory 1957-58|page=631}}</ref>

<p>Before closure, Shrewsbury was a Category B/C prison accepting adult males from the local courts in its catchment area. Accommodation at the prison consisted of double occupancy cells in mostly <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Victorian_architecture" title="Victorian architecture">Victorian</a> buildings. The prison offered education and workshops to inmates. A Listener Scheme was also available to prisoners at risk of suicide or self-harm.
</p><p>In January 2013, it was announced that the prison was scheduled for closure.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a></sup> The last inmates were transferred from Shrewsbury to other prisons on 27 February 2013, ahead of its closure in March.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a></sup>
