First Governor is Lt-Col J.A.B Ellen.

It was called Pudoh Gaol at one point.

Originally contained 240 cells on the three floors to hold 900 convicts.

Held 6, 550 convicts in 1985, the most numbers in its lifespan. Convict sleeps in shift during this time.

Pudu Jail's unique X-shaped main building hid behind a 384 m wall that prominently featured a mural, on display along Jalan Pudu. Click HERE to see an aerial view of the prison.
