The constabulary in Appleby-in-Westmorland know that their police station dates back to the 1770s. They also know that two subsequent prisons, from the 1820s and the 1870s, also stood on the site. One archaeologist volunteers to become a Victorian-era prisoner for 24 hours, put to hard labor breaking rocks, turning a crank handle for no reason, and moving dirt from one pile to another.
