EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library takes us back to the year 1874 in Britain, where we witness a scene at an Oakum Shed within a prison. In this historical image, inmates are diligently supervised as they pick oakum, a tedious task that was commonly assigned to prisoners during that time period.
The uniforms worn by the inmates serve as a stark reminder of the strict regulations and discipline enforced within prisons in the 19th century. The atmosphere depicted in this photograph is one of somberness and hard labor, highlighting the harsh realities faced by those who were incarcerated during this era.
Located in Clerkenwell, this particular Oakum Shed serves as a poignant symbol of both punishment and rehabilitation within the British prison system. The meticulous supervision shown in the image underscores the control exerted over inmates as they carry out their assigned duties.
Through this powerful visual representation, we are given a glimpse into a significant aspect of British history - one that sheds light on the laws, practices, and conditions prevalent within prisons during the late 1800s. This print serves as a valuable reminder of our past and prompts reflection on how far we have come in terms of criminal justice reform.
