EDITORS COMMENTS

In this print captured by Geoff Hewitt, we are transported back to the 1980s, specifically to April 26th, 1985. The image showcases an important visit made by Home Secretary Leon Brittan to the infamous Medomsley Detention Centre in County Durham. As a prominent Conservative politician during that era, Brittan's presence at this borstal facility holds significant historical value. The photograph offers a glimpse into the world of crime and punishment during the late 20th century. Medomsley Detention Centre served as both a prison and remand center for young offenders, making it a symbol of authority and control over those who had strayed from society's norms. Brittan's visit highlights his commitment towards understanding and addressing issues related to criminal justice. It also serves as a reminder of the government's responsibility in ensuring law enforcement is carried out effectively while simultaneously rehabilitating individuals within these institutions. Hewitt skillfully captures the essence of this momentous occasion through his lens, providing viewers with an opportunity to reflect on past policies surrounding incarceration and rehabilitation. This powerful image invites us to delve deeper into our collective memory lane, sparking conversations about how far we have come since then and how much further we still need to go in shaping more humane approaches towards crime prevention and rehabilitation today.
