Pudu Jail (1895 - 2010)



They finally decided that her walls were to be destroyed on the 21st of June 2010. She stood there majestically yet eerily and solemnly since 1895. Convicts for crimes and drug trafficking dwelled behind her walls until 1996 when it was decided to convert the prison to a commercial area.

Here are some pictures I got online. I never got the chance to take pictures of the historical Pudu Jail wall mural.. Thank you for the pictures.

This is my sighing for Pudu Jail.

Since November 1996, Pudu jail was a target for a commercial area.
Finally, her walls came falling down 21.6.10.
You will forever be remembered to be the ONLY prison with beautiful mural paintings on the walls.
You will forever be a memory to us who appreciates the prison despite its dark and eerie history.

Pudu Prison. Forever a heritage in our hearts.
