Based on progressive nineteenth-century penal reform principles, Toronto's Don Jail never lived up to its potential, deteriorating into a place of brutal violence and death. Along with the architecture of this Toronto landmark, The Don covers the politics that swirled around it for over 150 years and the crimes that took place inside.
