I really enjoyed going to galleries of justice in Nottingham. I thought the best part about it was where we got locked in the cell and we found out what it was like to be in prison in the olden days. I also really enjoyed going in the dark cell, I also liked finding out what it would be like in Victorian CSI, and finding the murder victim and who possibly could have been the suspects.
I really enjoyed when we went to court ( even though I was guilty) . It was fun because we all had different roles to play and we all had to act them out differently. The Gallery of Justice was a great 👍🏻 experience to find out about the differences between courts . Also it interesting to find out about prison in the Victorian times .

My role was a member of the jury we discussed the evidence that had been given to us. The outcome was that we found Isabella Makin guilty of theft.
