Lonely Planet review for Pudu Jail

Immediately southwest of Berjaya Times Square is the looming hulk of Pudu Jail. The star-shaped building was constructed by the British in 1895 and hundreds of prisoners were executed here (many for drug offences) before the prison was closed in 1996. Painted around the perimeter wall is the world's longest mural. Many locals believe that the prison is haunted and local travel agents occasionally organise ghost tours of the decaying cells and corridors.
