About this audio guide
This guide to the former Wolvenplein prison in Utrecht follows Ferdinand Domela Nieuwenhuis, the preacher turned socialist who spent seven months in a cell here in eighteen eighty-seven for insulting the king. It looks at the prison through what landed on his plate each day, the guard who talked with him, and the solitary regime the building was designed around. Best heard standing outside the walls on Wolvenplein.
