Did Dante Alighieri say “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here”?

Found with small differences. Found almost word for word in works attributed to Dante Alighieri. Compare with the original below.

The real thing was very different. It had not got the glamour of Holloway, or its melodramatic atmosphere with a dash of pantomime. There was an atmosphere of "Abandon hope all ye who enter here," about Wormwood Scrubbs, though the interior of the prison was not so depressing as the exterior—the Scrubbs itself.
