Dartmoor Prison was closed, but reopened in 1851 as a civilian prison and operated until 1917 when it became the Home Office Work Centre for conscientious objectors during World War I. It reopened in 1920 containing some of Britain's worst offenders.
The Dartmoor Mutiny occurred on 24 January 1932, when inmates took over the prison.
In 2001, Dartmoor was converted into a Class C prison for less violent offenders and continues to operate to this day.
