Some accounts of the Omagh Gaol- <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Omagh Gaol – The 4 Dungeons for felons open into a passage, 6 ft wide, have all 2 doors, one iron-grated, These, with four rooms over them for debtors, were clean and white-washed, and not offensive. No court, no infirmary. The county intends to build a new gaol. Some of the gentlemen have fixed on the site of the ruinous county hospital for that purpose, but others, more judiciously prefer, a fine healthy spot near the river, where the old castle stood. Here is an attentive inspector and a good gaoler. Salary \u00a320

20 Mar 1834 Omagh Gaol Important investigation (From the Strabane Morning Post)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A public investigation of a  highly important nature, was held in Omagh, on Friday and Saturday last, into the conduct of certain officers connected with the gaol in this county, before the Right Hon. the Earl of Caledon, Lord Lieutenant and a number of the Depot Lieutenants, including Sir R. A. FERGUSON Bart. J. SINCLAIR Esq. A. W. C. HAMILTON Esq. J. C. MONTRAY Esq. W. CORRY Esq. C. C. BERESFORD Esq. and a number of the most respectable and influential gentlemen of this county. The investigation was to be held in consequence of a number of charges forwarded to Government by Mr. Isaac GRAHAM of this town, as to certain malpractices stated to exist there and were in substance as follows<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Against the Governor
1st Charge That John M’KENNY, the keeper of Omagh gaol, has been, for a length of time, employed in extensive business as a farmer and as a road overseer, or jobber, contrary to the act of 7 Geo. 4, c. 74 which requires that he shall not be employed in any other business or calling whatsoever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2nd That a great part of said farming operations were performed by the turnkeys of said gaol, by order of the Governor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3rd – That said Governor is at the present time (18th Sept. 1833 when the charges were first forwarded to Government,) supplying the gaol with provisions contrary to the provisions of said act, and that the turnkeys were also supplying the gaol with provisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4th – For having employed prisoners outside the gaol, during the time of their confinement, at his (the Governor\u2019s) work, and for his emolument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5th – That a prisoner of the gaol so employed, got whiskey into the prison, by which he made himself and others drunk and broke the prison windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6th – For employing in his (the Governor’s work) since the period of first complaint (18th Sept.) persons paid by the county, in feeding his swine, in driving his jaunting-car, and other private business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7th – For slaughtering and dressing swine within the walls of said prison; for keeping sporting dogs and supporting them within the hospital of said prison  and keeping poultry occasionally within the walls said prison, contrary to good order and prison discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8th – For that when a complaint was made to said Governor, in presence of the matron, that a man named MACKEY had attempted to ill use a woman named Catherine COLLINS, who had been sentenced to solitary confinement, and that SHARKEY had got into the cell by means of a key which he had carried with him; he, the said Governor only answered, that he did not believe it, although the woman offered to swear to the facts, and that the servants of the Governor had frequent access to the female department of the prison by means of the Governor’s master key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9th – For that when the conduct of Ellen MOORE a female turnkey as a blackguard in her conversation, a liar, a drunkard, and a profane swearer, and against JOHNSTON, PERRY and MOORE, turnkeys, as great cursers and swearers, had been reported to the Governor, he continued them in their employment, without taking the proper steps to have them removed from their several situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10th – For harbouring and lodging a number of persons in Omagh Gaol, said persons having no employment there, contrary to prison regulations and for supplying some of said persons with prison rations, at the expense of the county.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11th – For suffering the escape one or more prisoners confined in his custody, through neglect and want of proper discipline and attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12th – That he, or some of his family, residing in the gaol, did at sundry times, take large quantities of soap and candles, turf, straw and ammunition, all of which said articles had been provided for the use of the prison, or for the use of the prisoners confined therein, at the expense of the county Tyrone and paid for by presentment in said county and for conniving at and suffering frauds to be committed in the measurement and supply of turf for the prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This concluded the charges against the Governor. The facts, as stated in the above charges, were supported by the testimony of William CRAWFORD, a turnkey in the gaol, Andrew CREIGHTON, Thomas CRAWFORD and James FITZSIMONS, formerly turnkeys, Joseph CRAWFORD, a former servant of the Governor, John BASHFORD, husband the gaol matron, Mrs. BASHFORD, the gaol matron and W. SPROUL, formerly confined for debt in Omagh gaol, who deposed to the facts and a underwent strict and able cross examination by Messrs. HOLMES and STACK, solicitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The witnesses adduced in defence, were Mr. NORRIS, a member of the board of Superintendence and Mr. George BUCHANAN, Providore of the gaol, as to the description of the roads made by Mr. M’KENNA, being of broken stones from the gaol, according to presentment and for which he received no fees; by Mr. Wm. BROWN gardener and Mr. Christopher BOLAND, as to the quantity of land held by the Governor; James WILSON Esq. clerk of the Crown and Mr. George SMITH, to the character of James FITZSIMONS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. WILSON would not advance anything against the man\u2019s character, and thought him worthy of belief; but Mr SMITH did not. Evidence to his character was offered, but not persisted in. Mr. NORRIS was also examined, as to whether any permission was given for the turnkeys to work by the board. There was conversation at the board on the subject and they thought they might out occasionally for recreation. He was also examined as to the case of Andrew CREIGHTON’S dismissal from the office of turnkey, but gave him a good character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was stated in the 10th charge, that permission had been given to lodge John O\u2019BRIEN, formerly a jailor in the prison, but the question of his receiving jail rations had not been mentioned. Mr. M’KENNY was to allow him \u00a330 year. An excellent character was given of the Governor, by Messrs. M’CAUSLAND and NORRIS, members of the Board and by Major PALMER, who stated that such abuses as those stated might exist without his (the Major\u2019s) knowledge; but he had always considered Mr. M’KENNY a zealous and effective officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Omagh jail was one of eight, which ranked foremost in Ireland.
Stephen NELIS, a turnkey, charged with being a great and notorious drunkard, on the evidence of Andrew CREIGHTON and William CRAWFORD. The Rev. Mr. CULBERTSON, Presbyterian Chaplain and the Rev. Mr. QUIN, Roman Catholic Chaplain, had frequent opportunities of seeing him, and did not consider him a drunkard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ellen O’NEILL for being a great and notorious blackguard in her conversation, a liar, a drunkard, and a blasphemer, on the evidence of the gaol matron. Mr. J. M’CAUSLAND and Mr. BUCHANAN had never seen her drunk, and considered her general conduct good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charges against the Rev. Mr. STACK  – local Inspector<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1st Charge  – For general inattention and neglect of duty during a series of years, inasmuch as he did not visit twice week as chaplain, twice a week as local inspector, read prayers every Sunday, attend every third week to see the provisions distributed, as by the law and prison regulations he was bound to do and that he did not see the several rules and regulations carried into effect, as was his bounden duty to have done; but, on the contrary, did almost totally neglect said duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2nd – For suffering some of the persons employed about the prison to work for his gain and emolument, having straw kept there for litter for his horses and manure for his farm and also that he drew away, and converted to his own use a quantity of stone flagging which had been raised in the gaol, which stones had been replaced by wooden floors, contrary to the act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3rd – For not attending to the charge of the matron, when complaining of County soap and candles taken away; but told her she must keep herself quiet, if she wished to be there; and took no further notice of the charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4th – For not removing Ellen O’NEIL and NELIS when reported to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5th – For being privy to the farming operations of the Governor. These charges were supported chiefly by the same evidence as the charges against the Governor and were closely connected with them. Mr. BUCHANAN, architect, and Mr. John CLARKE, stone-cutter, were examined for the purpose of establishing the fact, that the only stones taken were those of the old Crown Hall, which had been bought from the architect by Mr. STACK. A very considerable degree of anxiety was evinced on the subject; and we have certainly never seen an investigation conducted with more care and impartiality, than that evinced by lord Caledon, and the gentlemen joined with him in conducting the investigation. Mr. STACK’S conduct as local inspector was highly approved of by Major PALMER. We should mention, that another charge was offered to Lord Caledon against Mr. STACK, but which his Lordship did not then feel himself competent to enter upon; but stated to Mr. GRAHAM that he would lay it before Government, and inform him of the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 Jan. 1847 Gaol at Omagh (inspection report)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I inspected this gaol on the 2nd Jan. 1847 and have much reason to be satisfied with what I saw in the male part of the prison. The corridors, cells, and day rooms, are kept extremely clean and I was forcibly struck with the excellent order and cleanliness, in which the utensils for meals are preserved. The bedding is of the best description, all supplied with sheets, which materially tend to cleanliness and are useful on the score of economy, saving the wear and tear of blankets by repeated washing. I feel myself particularly called upon to notice, in this place, the condition of the lunatic class, so strongly commented upon by my predecessor Doctor WHITE in his last report. I, this day, found 11 males and 2 females, the males occupying part of the old gaol, in charge of a turnkey, whose sole duty is to attend to them; they were most comfortably clad and treated with the greatest kindness. The two females were equally well circumstanced, having also an assistant exclusively to take care of them, and I have great pleasure in having it in my power to report that all I have witnessed during a long and searching inspection, are in themselves sufficient evidences of the untiring attention of the local inspector, to the serious responsibilities of his situation, that the Governor is a most zealous and efficient officer; the deputy Governor, an able and valuable assistant to the Governor; the sub-officers discharging their respective duties to the satisfaction of the local authorities; and lastly the hospital department, where the patients are supplied with a long warm coat, resembling a dressing gown and everything denotes that a master hand is over it. Convenient and well sheltered sheds have recently been erected for prisoners to work at stone and bone breaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The male prisoners are employed at stone breaking, bone pulverizing, and at times, at smith’s work, carpentering, sawing, tailoring, shoe and clog making, weaving, and winding and other trades as prisoners may be found to understand, but no general system of instruction followed up. The schools are not sufficiently attended to.The females are employed at the usual occupation of washing, spinning, sewing, knitting, prison duties, nursing &c., but no classification can be attended to, in consequence of the want of accommodation for females.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dietary –  Breakfast 8 oz. oatmeal stirabout, 1 pint of buttermilk. Dinner 1 lb bread, 1 pint of new milk. Supper 4 oz. oatmeal stirabout. Male prisoners take their meals in cells. Females in day room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

25 Feb. 1882 Horrors of Omagh Gaol<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following letter has been addressed to Mr. W. E. FORSTER by the “suspects” in Omagh Gaol<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the right Hon. W. E. FORSTER Chief secretary for Ireland. Omagh Gaol Feb. 14,1882
Sir, We, the undersigned, beg to direct your immediate attention to the gravity of the situation in which we are placed and the terrible danger to which we are exposed by being confined as “suspects” in this prison of Omagh. The sanitary condition of the gaol is simply abominable. From the defective sewerage, the most noxious, poisonous, gases arise, permeating the atmosphere around us and filling our lungs with the seeds of disease. Several valuable lives, we believe, have already been sacrificed. Captain Lambert DISNEY, the late lamented governor, has been the latest victim. Scarcely had he taken his residence here than he was struck down with a most malignant attack of typhoid fever, and after a brief struggle succumbed to its terrible ravages. Many of us are, and have been unwell for some time past. Strong men who were never ill before, complain of the sickening effects produced by bad sanitation. And we may here remark, that any one of us who hints at being sick or in want of medical advice is regarded with suspicion and indifference by the medical doctor. We are, as you may be aware, kept locked in our cells for 18 hours out of the 24. The other six are supposed to be allowed for “exercise.” Four of these hours are spent in a yard about 40 feet square, surrounded by high buildings. It is dark and confined, and the air heavy and polluted, a ray of sunshine never appearing, even for a moment, to dispel the gloomy aspect of the place. The centre of this yard was once apparently a grass plot, ’tis now a mass of mud. Round this plot in circular form runs a paved footpath (the ordinary pebble paving) about two feet wide. This path is the only part of the yard where we can walk and it was purposely made to punish convicted criminals sentenced to hard labour. A rough timber shed stands in the middle of the yard. It is about 26 feet long, 10 feet wide, and 7 feet high, sheeted on the outside with very light boarding. On the inside the studding is uncovered and the roof uncoiled. This shed may answer tolerably well for housing cattle, but as a place of recreation for human beings it is an insult and a scandal. In this structure there are 3 windows, or what were intended for windows and for some inexplicable reason the architect had the sashes of the two of them glazed, with patent rolled plate glass, which admits scarcely any light and prevents one from seeing through. The floor is of mud, rugged and wet, the cold of which unendurable. A permanent seat occupies the centre of the floor, but as we cannot remain with our feet for any length of time upon the ground, we are obliged to sit on the back rail of the seat in an awkward and uncomfortable as well as an unsightly position. The shed is entirely too small; there is little light, and no ventilation and when 30 men are crowded into it, it is impossible to remain there with safety to our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authorities here state that they purpose spreading some sand or gravel over the floor and about the sloppy yard, but this is a totally inadequate and utterly absurd remedy for the existing evil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The well from which are supplied with water lies within a few yards of the house, wherein the late governor perished from typhoid fever. An earth closet in bad condition is situated right over the cookhouse, and we believe that the foul gases escaping from the soil enter the building and poison our food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medical opinion has already pronounced the sanitation to be fatally defective. Believing that you had no intention of murdering us when you signed the warrants committing to this prison, we ask you to have us released at once from custody, or else removed without delay from a hot bed of fever to a more healthy and safer locality. Then signed by “suspects” (but the names are not published) (Manchester Courier and Lancashire General Advertiser)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16 Nov. 1883 from an article titled 100 Years Ago<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From John Howard\u2019s (1785-1843) account of “Prisons and Hospitals.
The distinguished humanitarian deals exhaustively with his subject and gives, with much freedom, the impressions formed in course of a series of personal visits to the prisons of Ireland. He begins with a decided lunge at the architects. “I could not,” he says, “but reflect with great concern that many of the prisons now building will be monuments of the unskillfulness of the architects.” This we take to have reference to convenience and the requirements of prison life. “The new gaols,” he adds, “having pompous fronts, appear like palaces to the lower class of the people of Ireland.” We have not infrequently heard the sneering observation in our own day that our best buildings are our gaols and poor-houses, sad triumphs of civilization in the midst of desolation and poverty. Mr. Howard gives details of the prison arrangements throughout the provinces as he found them. Of Omagh gaol he speaks with a feeling of toleration. It was not wholly bad. He mentions that the then magnates of the county had fixed for a new site, that “of the ruinous county hospital, but others, more judicious, prefer a fine healthy spot near the river,” probably the latter being the ground selected. “Some of the sheriffs, we read, are guilty of a great abuse in taking 20 and 30 guineas of the gaolers for their appointments.” The gaolers in turn recouped themselves by exactions on the prisoners.”Little attention to the separation of the sexes, or of debtors and felons.\u201d (Derry Journal)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

23 Nov. 1886 Omagh Gaol
In reply to Lord Ernest Hamilton, The Attorney General  for Ireland said prisoners under the Debtors\u2019 Act from County Tyrone are now sent, pursuant to an order of the Lord Lieutenant under statute, to Londonderry. It is legal for the sheriff, under such circumstances, to take prisoners into an adjoining county.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

26 Nov 1920 A 95 year old Omagh Prison Diary<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many piquant sidelights on prison life of almost a century ago are contained in the 95 year-old journal of the old Omagh jail, which a relic-hunter has retained since the prison, capable of housing about 200 prisoners, was knocked down several years ago. Every little detail of the life of the jail, from the breaking of a window pane to the disappearance of a comb, is faithfully recorded, nothing being apparently too trivial for the prison Pepys. Each day the various turnkeys, as the now familiar warder was then known, entered in the journal, the conditions in which they found the cells and the behavior of the convicts after the rounds of inspection. To these the governor appends the punishments to be meted out to the prisoners guilty of breaches of the rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These “sentences of the sentenced” vary little and seem oddly confined to stopping their milk allowances. The daily offenses are infinite in their variety. From shirt-tearing, they go on to lending knives to lunatics, speaking in Irish through cell keyholes, feet-drying with the hand-towel, fighting, smoking, throwing hammers about, receiving bread from one\u2019s wife writing in the absence of the schoolmaster, refusing to break stones, sleeping fully clothed in bed, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexander PARIS, in a passionate show of ill-temper at breakfast one morning, was guilty of disgraceful recklessness. After abusing one of his fellow prisoners, he actually threw an egg-shell at him. “PARIS to go milkless for 3 days”, the relentless Governor grimly ordered, as stern warning that people in jail houses shouldn\u2019t throw egg-shells. Hugh GALLAGHER was a guest of an unusually musical frame of mind. He persisted in entertaining the occupants of the prison with sweet airs “before lock-out.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An energetic turnkey reported 3 gentlemen, stating “All quiet during the night, except that in No.70 cell, the three men were speaking Irish at 3 o’clock in the morning.” The trio had their milk stopped for three days for their behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Condy GILLESPIE appears with persistent regularity in the Journal. Among his many offenses was that he wore a shirt a day longer than the laws of cleanliness permitted; on another occasion he appeared at the morning inspection wearing his night-cap. It is probable, that GILLESPIE had to go without milk during practically his entire confinement in the jail. The day of his release at last dawned, however, but in his exuberance he was weak enough to sing in his cell at 5 a m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the turnkeys themselves often come under the eagle eye of the governor. William COLHOUN was seen one day to be speaking to 2 of his charges, who still had their caps on. For his gross carelessness he was sternly reprimanded not to let his prisoners be so disrespectful in future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That they were careless in other aspects is indicated by the following note of the governor -\u201cAs great inconvenience has frequently arisen from turnkeys going out for a walk or otherwise disposing of their time in the evenings, it is ordered that no turnkey will, in future, leave the prison upon any pretense whatsoever, unless it is going on some duty connected with the prison, without the permission of the inspector or governor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inspector is a Mr. E. M. CLARKE adds to the comment – I have much pleasure in signing the above order, at the same time expressing my determination in enforcing it in the strictest possible manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a complaint that Denis GALLAGHER was guilty of annoying the peaceful slumbers of his fellow prisoners during the night and also had a weakness for singing and whistling during the week. The Governor ordered that Denis should in future sleep in the old Crown Hall owing to the noise he makes at night<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prison also housed a number of debtors, who seemingly found imprisonment galling. Two of them had to go milkless for talking to pedestrians in the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Christmas morning in 1831 the Yuletide spirit led Patrick M’ILHENNEY to put his cap in his coal box, contrary to the regulations. Patrick as a result had to go without milk for his Christmas dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An entry which sounds a note of tragedy is that dated 7th Aug. 1831 “Patrick STEWART* executed this day.” It is to be regretted that the prison historian fails to mention the facts of Patrick’s offense and posterity is left in the dark as to the expedition or otherwise of the execution and the condemned man\u2019s behaviour on the scaffold, details which are so eagerly read today. On 21 Feb 1832 it is recorded that Patrick BARRON, a debtor, died in the course of the night. The turnkey reported the death to the prison board, and an inquest was held. The strangely worded verdict recorded that the dead man met his end “By a visitation from God”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*transcribers note – Patrick STEWART, James STEWART jr. , Alexander STEWART, (brothers) and James STEWART Sr. (father) were charged with the murder of Martha and John LYTLE at Cloghroe, near Donegal, on the 5th Sept. 1830 Alexander aged 22 and James Jr. aged 25, both married and were executed in front of Lifford Gaol on 2 Apr. 1831.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insolvent Debtors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
