Dartmoor Inmates L Aw Lock Prison Prisons Safely Trust Warders
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the Dartmoor Warders of 1910, standing proudly outside the front entrance of Dartmoor Prison. The imposing stone structure of the prison looms in the background, a stark reminder of the institution's purpose. The warders, dressed in their uniforms, exude a sense of authority and discipline. Their stern expressions and rigid postures convey the seriousness of their duties. The photograph, taken circa 1910, offers a glimpse into the historical past of England's penal system. At the time, Dartmoor Prison was one of the most notorious prisons in the country, known for its harsh conditions and strict discipline. The warders played a crucial role in maintaining order and ensuring the safety of both the prison staff and inmates. Despite the ominous setting, it is important to remember that this photograph was taken outside, and we can trust that the inmates were safely under lock and key at the time. The image serves as a reminder of the important role that warders and prisons play in society, and the dedication and commitment required to maintain law and order. This photograph, from the extensive collection of historical images at Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a fascinating insight into the history of prisons and the men who served as warders during a time when the penal system was undergoing significant changes. It is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images or studies on the history of law and order in England.
