[引言]将前监狱转变为“黑暗旅游”场所反映了最近将退役建筑用于其他目的的趋势，例如博物馆和其他遗产地，特别强调“出于教育和商业目的表现死亡、灾难或暴行”（Walby和Piche，2011：452）。监狱对于那些在日常生活中不太可能遇到这样的空间的游客来说是一种病态的迷恋（Strange 和 Kempa，2003）。监狱博物馆远离传统的旅游景点，它是建立在消费者渴望接触难以接近的事物的基础上的。从“外部”的舒适中瞥见“内部”的生活及其所有假定的恐怖（特纳，2013）——当然，有选择和自由进入、离开、接受或拒绝任何特定的展览或展示（见霍尔，1973）。一方面，监狱博物馆迎合了寻求这种娱乐旅游体验的游客市场（Adams，2001；Schrift，2004）。另一方面，它们的作用是教育游客了解刑罚的过去，通过参与监狱历史来塑造当代的理解（例如，参见 Baker，2014：1）。 在本章中，我们将讨论一个特定的监狱博物馆（位于英国诺丁汉的司法画廊）如何在提供信息和娱乐的同时使过去在现在可用。
[From introduction] The transformation of former prisons to sites of “dark tourism” reflects a recent trend in the use of decommissioned buildings for alternative purposes, such as museums and other heritage sites, which particularly emphasise “representations of death, disaster or atrocity for pedagogical and commercial purposes” (Walby and Piche, 2011: 452). Prisons are spaces that hold a morbid fascination for visitors who are unlikely to ever encounter such a space in their everyday lives (Strange and Kempa, 2003). Far from a traditional tourist site, the prison museum is built upon consumer desire to access the inaccessible; to glimpse a life on the ‘inside’ and all its assumed horrors from the comfort of being on the ‘outside’ (Turner, 2013) – with the choice and liberty, of course, to enter, to leave, to accept or to reject any given exhibition or display (see Hall, 1973). Prison museums cater, on the one hand, to a market of visitors seeking such tourist experiences for entertainment (Adams, 2001; Schrift, 2004). On the other hand, they function to educate visitors about penal pasts, shaping contemporary understandings through engagement with carceral histories (see, for example, Baker, 2014: 1). In this chapter we attend to the ways in which a particular prison museum – the Galleries of Justice, in Nottingham, U.K. – informs and entertains while making the past usable in the present.
