Aylesbury Draughts Inebriate Inmates Piano Reformatory Staff Supervise
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of quiet respite within the walls of Aylesbury Inebriate Reformatory in 1908. In the dimly lit room, inmates are seen intently focused on their draughts boards, their expressions a mix of concentration and determination. The soothing presence of a piano in the corner adds an air of tranquility to the scene. The staff members supervising the activity are attentively watching over the inmates, ensuring the rules of the game are being followed and maintaining order. The image offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of those residing in the reformatory during this era. The photograph, taken in 1908, is a poignant reminder of the therapeutic value of simple pleasures and the importance of rehabilitation and supervision in the treatment of those struggling with addiction.
