Went there a few years back. It seems the local council were renovating it to their own means (they are based there) and paying not much attention to the heritage. E.g. some of the prisoner graffiti had been pulled off the walls and painted over.

Still a fascinating place and one where you can put your imagination to work. A remake of the series I think is in order, or at least a film.
