1. Title: Ground Plan of Holloway Prison (London City Prison and House of Correction, Holloway), 1862 This intricately detailed ground plan depicts Holloway Prison, also known as the London City Prison and House of Correction, as it appeared in 1862. Located in the borough of Islington, North London, Holloway Prison was one of the largest and most notorious women's prisons in the United Kingdom during the Victorian era. The plan reveals the extensive layout of the prison complex, which included various buildings for different purposes. At the center of the plan, the main prison block is shown, featuring cells arranged in long corridors, workshops, and various administrative offices. To the left, a large infirmary is depicted, providing medical care for the inmates. Further to the left, a workhouse for paupers is shown, where the able-bodied inmates were put to work to earn their keep. The plan also reveals the prison's defensive features, including high walls and watchtowers, which were intended to prevent escapes. The layout of the prison was designed to instill discipline and order, with inmates' movements strictly controlled and regimented. Holloway Prison was notorious for its harsh conditions and treatment of inmates. Women were subjected to hard labor, solitary confinement, and other forms of punishment. The prison gained notoriety in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for its use of the "separate system," which involved isolating inmates in small cells for long periods as a means of punishment and rehabilitation. Despite the prison's controversial history, this ground plan offers a fascinating glimpse into the architectural and administrative organization of a Victorian-era women's prison. It provides valuable insights into the prison system of the time and the living conditions of its inmates.
