Victorian prison treadmills - the brutal reality and the lessons for today

Professor Rosalind Crone visits one of the only remaining prison treadmills in Britain at Beaumaris Goal on Anglesey, north Wales. The prison or penal treadmill was not something you’d find in a gym; it was a machine used, some would argue, as an instrument of torture. What can it teach us about the idea of punishment vs rehabilitation in prisons today?

This video was written and presented by Professor Rosalind Crone and produced by The Open University in Wales. With thanks to Beaumaris Town Council for permission to film at Beaumaris Gaol.

Mae'r Athro Rosalind Crone yn ymweld ag un o'r unig felinau traed carchar sydd ar ôl ym Mhrydain yng Ngharchar Biwmares ar Ynys Môn, gogledd Cymru. Nid rhywbeth y byddech yn cael hyd iddi mewn ystafell ffitrwydd oedd y felin draed carchar neu gosbol; byddai rhai'n dadlau bod y peiriant yn cael ei ddefnyddio fel offeryn arteithio. Beth all y peiriant ei ddysgu inni am y syniad o gosb neu adsefydlu mewn carchardai heddiw?

Ysgrifennwyd a chyflwynwyd y fideo hwn gan yr Athro Rosalind Crone, ac fe'i cynhyrchwyd gan y Brifysgol Agored yng Nghymru. Gyda diolch i Gyngor Tref Biwmares am ganiatâd i ffilmio yng Ngharchar Biwmares.
