Yep. It's a stalactite alright. (art from Fallen London)

New Newgate, London's major prison post-Fall, is a fortress carved from a massive stalactite. All its prisoners are required to wear masks. Supplies and prisoners are brought in and out of the prison via airship. Strangely enough, these supplies include large quantities of candles. Guess why. Unpleasantly, and on a slightly related note, prisoners have been known to be found with their masks missing, with swaths of the skin beneath torn away.
