Pentonville
a populous district in London in the parish of St. James, Clerkenwell; the first buildings in which were erected in 1773 on fields belonging to Henry Penton. The name has since been extended to part of the parish of Islington, in which stands the Pentonville Prison, built in 1840-1842, and constructed on the radiating principle, so as to admit of thorough inspection. The treatment is designed to "enforce strict separation, with industrial employment and moral training."
