Pudu Prison (Pudu Jail)

Pudu Prison (also called Pudu Jail or Pudu Gaol) is a penal institution constructed by the British colonial government in phases between 1891 and 1895. Early construction included a substantial perimeter wall reported in sources as 394 metres long and built at a recorded cost (in Straits dollars). In later years the prison's exterior wall gained cultural attention when, at one point in its history, it was adorned with what has been described in source material as the world's longest mural. The supplied research materials do not provide details on the prison's later operational history, notable incidents such as executions or riots, dates of closure or demolition, or its present-day status. Regarding folklore and the supernatural, the provided sources contain no reports of apparitions, anomalous sounds, physical effects, named spirits, or witness accounts tied to Pudu Prison. Because the supplied documentation is silent on paranormal claims, no phenomena or entities are asserted beyond what the historical sources state about the site's construction and the mural.
