You are going to read a newspaper article about a museum of justice.
Seven paragraphs have been removed from the article. Choose from the paragraphs (A-H) the one which fits each gap (1-6). There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use. There is an example at the beginning (0).
OLD JUSTICE
When I arrived at County Hall, the jury were returning to the court after they had agreed on their verdict. They had found the accused guilty of sex discrimination. The 15-year-old girl
dressed up as a judge sentenced him to a fine of £20,000.
0 H
These schoolchildren had been spending the morning at the Justice Museum, which recently opened in the restored courtrooms and prison cells of County Hall. Visits last about three hours and cost £5 for adults and £3 for children, with lower rates for schools and organized youth groups.
1
Younger ones can join in, too. Trials
based on Alice in Wonderland and
other children`s favourites take place, and there is a special Christmas programme which should be great fun for the very young.
2
This and all the other information at the museum has been carefully researched. For example, the clock in the old criminal court has been stopped at 3.25 p.m., which was the time when the last trial there ended.
3
Down here they will meet Fred, who sits in the tiny jailer`s room. He says that visitors often look too terrified to enter when they reach the gate and see him there with his keys.
4
From the jailer`s room, visitors can go into the death cell. Here they will hear
a commentary by Joe Klein, who used
to be a hangman, and actually stand under the gallows.
5
Those kept in here were usually the most violent or uncooperative of prisoners, who must have been desperate to get out after even a short stay. The bowl and cup on the floor are reminders of how much food and drink they were given - per week, not per day.

Future visitors will find a Research Zone, which will be mainly for educational use. There are also plans to open the 1828 women`s prison, as well as a series of caves that were found during excavation work below the courts.
A For those taking the legal system more seriously,
especially sixth-formers and trainee teachers, there
are debates on topics such as capital punishment and
courses on major social problems like drugs and
bullying. Detailed information is provided in the form
of education packs.
B After the visit to the cells is over, there is a chance to
vote on bringing back capital punishment. Jenny
Rose, the head of marketing told me that it is usually
about 50-50, for and against. Soon after the museum
opened, however, there was a series of murders, and
the vote in favour of hanging went above 70 per
cent.
C In fact, the museum is particularly suitable for visitors
such as these because they give young people the
opportunity to experience the workings of the civil
and criminal justice systems in a practical way.
Everyone can play a part, even if only as a member of
the public shouting at the prosecutor (there was not
much order in court two hundred years ago).
D When they finally go in, he has a lot to tell them
about prison and local history. He explains that it was
from here that prisoners were sent to prison ships
which would eventually take them to Australia.
E She was charged with theft after a police sergeant
saw her take a loaf of bread from the market.
Although she protested that she had intended to pay
for it, and that she was a law-abiding citizen, the
magistrates sentenced her to 10 years’ imprisonment. F If descriptions of executions haven`t put them off,
people can then go into the punishment cell. This
small, box-like room has no windows, no furniture
and an alarmingly low ceiling. The massive door has a
narrow spy hole to enable guards to keep an eye on
the prisoner.
G It is in this court that a trial from 1825 is re-created.
All the accused are found guilty and sentenced to
severe punishments. Visitors can then go downstairs
to the cells to meet these 19th century criminals, who
are played by volunteers and museum staff.
H Everyone in court, including the prosecution, the
defence and the witnesses, discussed the decision,
which they all agreed with. Then they all left,
accompanied by their teacher. From
