EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures the grim reality of life in Coldbath Fields Prison in Clerkenwell, London during the mid-19th century. The photograph shows a treadwheel fan, a common feature in many Victorian prisons and workhouses. The paupers, often the poor and destitute, were forced to turn the wheel to generate airflow, providing meager relief from the oppressive heat and stuffy conditions within the prison walls. Coldbath Fields Prison, established in 1851, was infamous for its harsh living conditions and inhumane treatment of its inmates. The prison was designed to house both male and female convicts, as well as paupers who were unable to support themselves. The treadwheel was just one of the many punitive measures used to discipline and control the prisoners. The prisoners were made to work for long hours each day, turning the wheel to generate power for the prison. The work was grueling and exhausting, with little rest or respite. The prisoners were often malnourished and disease-ridden, leading to high mortality rates. The treadwheel fan serves as a stark reminder of the harsh living conditions endured by the paupers and prisoners during this period. It is a testament to the inhumane treatment meted out to those who were unable to support themselves in society. The image also highlights the importance of basic amenities like adequate ventilation and the need for humane treatment of prisoners and paupers. This photograph provides a glimpse into the grim past of Coldbath Fields Prison and the lives of its inmates. It is a powerful reminder of the need for compassion and empathy towards those who are less fortunate and the importance of ensuring that basic human rights are upheld in all institutions, be it prisons or workhouses.
