Old Dhaka Central Jail, located at Nazimuddin Road in the capital, that inherits the rich history of ancient Dhaka and Bengal will be opened to public as a museum.The Dhaka Central Jail, with architectural marks that reflect Mughal and British histories, had been chronically overcrowded.Before shifting to Keranigonj, it had about 8,000 inmates, though it was built to accommodate just 2,600. Inmates lived in cramped, unsanitary conditions.People, who didn’t enter into jail, have a great eagerness to know about inside of that. Now they will get chance to know where common prisoners stayed, which place was for VIP and where was gallows.Opening day’s exhibition titled ‘Songramy Jeebon Gangtha’ is decorated with 75 photos of Bangabandhu and the four national leaders, collected by an organization named ‘Journey’.Sources said Finance Minister Abul Maal Abdul Muhith will inaugurate the exhibition on the first day of November. It will be opened for people three times (10.30 am to 12.30pm, 1.00pm to 3,00pm and 3.30pm to 5.30pm) every day from 2nd November.

During the first few years of the 19th century the fort was renovated and turned into a jail. Until 1836, when the facility was turned into the Dhaka Central Jail, the Kotwali police station was co-located there.
