When you're found guilty, there's only one place they send you
What is New Newgate Prison?
The prison is carved into the body of an immense stalactite, clinging to the roof of the Bazaar''s cavern. Escape-proof? We''ll see about that.
Sidebar text.
Back again, eh?
It doesn't matter whether you were guilty or framed or just in the wrong place at the wrong time. When your Suspicion Quality reaches 8, the Constables will find you and you'll find they are remarkably efficient at summary judgement and transporting you to New Newgate Prison.
What is New Newgate Prison like?
About the same as when you were there the first time: the same miserable dripstone cell, barred window and straw mattress; the same view of the lights of the Bazaar reflected in the dark waters of the Unterzee below. This time, however, you may find you have a few more friends here.
What can you do here?
Write to your lawyer. Bribe the gaolers. Behave and become less suspicious over time. Observe the goings on with an eye toward your eventual release or maybe find an opportunity to make a quick escape. Other opportunities may arise if you keep your eyes open, too.
the downsides: There is no access to the Bazaar from here. You lose all Casing… progress, and cards in hand.
How do I get out of here?
Storylets and opportunity cards will reduce your Suspicion, slowly, but at the cost of action points and possibly items or a reduction in your major Qualities. When your Suspicion Quality reaches 0, you will be able to return to your Lodgings. You may come across items that will help you make a quicker escape. You might also run across still more opportunities to leave New Newgate Prison quickly. Nearly every action here will increase your connections with Criminals and The Docks.
Storylets in New Newgate Prison — Again!
Contact your lawyer
Perhaps he can sort this mess out…
Pen a letter
You're not even sure it will reach your lawyer, but you can write with instructions for your appeal.
A matter of luck: it could go either way.
Bribery
You are not without resources. There are corrupt gaolers and cunning prisoners in good supply here. Something can be worked out.
Appeal to a higher court
Perhaps it's just your destiny to be free. This will reduce your Suspicion to 0, and set you free.

Favours can be arranged if you can get some wine smuggled into the prison. A great deal of wine as it happens: the prisoners have quite a thirst.

The gaolers like candles a great deal. It seems that there is something in the prison that eats them.

Opportunity Cards in New Newgate Prison — Again!
Some of these Opportunity Cards are red-bordered (indicated by Auto-Fire) which means they take effect when you select them.
A visit from a priest
A priest is visiting the prison, and encouraging inmates to admit their sins.
Lament your sins
It will make you feel better. Possibly.
Admit nothing
Silence is valued, here.
Promises of revenge
A Betrayed Lover asks your help. She promises assistance in escaping if you will get revenge on the Faithless Rake that sent her to prison.
The matters of the heart
Take her up on the offer.
Start a brawl
You're going to show these villains who is boss around here.
'Who among you would like some of this?!'
The traditional method is standing on a table in the mess hall and offering a general challenge.
(Dangerous challenge, straightforward at 45)
The Governor
You have been sent for by a Dapper Underworld Boss. The man is a powerful figure in the prison, and could make things difficult for you.
Having a little word
The Dapper Underworld Boss seeks interesting conversation regarding the world outside. It would be best to impress him.
(Persuasive challenge)
The Stuttering Fence
The Stuttering Fence is for the moment a fellow prisoner. Nevertheless, he is a nexus of underworld information.
Connections
If you have the connections, you could cash in some favours to help you get out of this place. The Stuttering Fence will be happy to facilitate.
Unlocked with Connected: Criminals 3Look after him
He's popular with many of the street-criminals and dockers, but there's always someone with a grudge.
[Unlocked with Dangerous 10]
The talkative gaoler
Most of the hunched, shuffling gaolers have no interest in conversation. This one likes to talk, though. He suggests that they might keep you here a little longer for this visit.
Listen to his woes
Where did your life go so wrong that you are providing a sympathetic ear to a wretch like him?
A grass
Informing on the other prisoners will secure your immediate release. It will utterly ruin your reputation among your fellow criminals.
The Troubled Undertaker
The Troubled Undertaker is tasked with dealing with prisoners who really die. He could be a useful ally in trying to escape.
Helping with the dead
You could help out a bit with the cadavers and try to make a friend here.
(Persuasive challenge)
The Warden
You have been sent for by the prison warden.
The Snuffer
The warden has a problem. The gaolers are complaining of 'the Snuffer' - some kind of beast loose in the prison that eats their candles and occasionally them. The warden offers a little remission on your sentence if you deal with it.
A Better Class of Villain
These people are scum. And not even decent scum. Ladybirds and shirkers all.
Spoken like a dragsman
You know a right diamond geezer, who'll show these macaroons how to gully a porker. Trouble is, they're on the Surface.
Scratched on the cell wall
The wisdom of countless occupants has been scratched on the walls of this cell….
