How To Reach Colonel Bailey's Dungeon
Srirangapatna, Karnataka, India:
History of Confinement: This is a chilling historical prison, an oblong, underground structure built during the reign of Tipu Sultan (and his father Hyder Ali). It was primarily used to confine British officers and soldiers who were captured as prisoners of war during the Anglo-Mysore Wars. Namesake : The dungeon is named after Colonel William Bailey (or Baillie), a British officer who was captured at the Battle of Pollilur in 1780 and subsequently died here in 1782 due to the harsh conditions. Other high-ranking officers were also imprisoned here. The Canon Hole: A poignant feature of the dungeon is the large hole in the vaulted roof, reportedly caused by a cannonball that pierced the roof during the final Battle of Srirangapatna in 1799, when the British forces bombarded the fort. The cannon is displayed nearby. Dungeon Features: The structure measures about 30.5 meters in length and 12.2 meters in width, with a low vaulted roof. Inside, there are raised stone slabs with holes, believed to be where prisoners were chained down, sometimes immersed in water up to their necks as a form of torture, lending it the name 'Water Jail'.:
