The Hated Cage

An American Tragedy in Britain’s Most Terrifying Prison

Nicholas Guyatt
Exploring a little-known episode during the War of 1812, this history of American prisoners, mainly sailors, held at Dartmoor Prison reveals how they were marginalized by the American government and brutalized by the British guards (eventually resulting in a massacre). The racial segregation, requested by the inmates themselves, is revealing of the attitudes in American society; the result was an almost self-governing black community, run by the tyrannical King Dick.
