The Slop Bucket


In Kilmainham Gaol the inmates used slop buckets for going to the toilet and to eat their food from. If there was more then one prisoner in a cell they would have to share the same slop bucket. This is how disease was spread in Kilmainham Goal. Many people died of this disease. They received their only meal  in the middle of the day in the slop bucket.
