Conservation efforts on E Hall have retained its original architectural layout and the Chinese tiled roof with timber framework. Some of its former cells have been converted into a café and backstage dressing rooms – a good example of Tai Kwun’s adaptive reuse.
To enhance its heritage value, a new series of documentary films featuring rehabilitated persons, former correctional officers, and a prison chaplain has been added to E Hall. The new interpretation incorporates interviews with people connected to the former Victoria Prison. Listening to their authentic voices offers insight into the common values of humanity which transcend the prison’s boundaries.
