EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of female convicts exercising in the airing yard at Brixton Prison. The image is an illustration from "The Criminal Prisons of London and Scenes from Prison Life" by Henry Mayhew and John Binny, published in 1862. In this scene, we see a group of women prisoners walking briskly through the prison's exterior grounds under the watchful eyes of wardens. Their somber expressions hint at their difficult circumstances within the Victorian criminal justice system. Despite their confinement, these women are determined to make use of their limited freedom during exercise time. The engraving beautifully captures both the physicality and emotional weight carried by these female inmates as they stroll together. The composition highlights not only their individual struggles but also their collective resilience against societal expectations. It is worth noting that this powerful image was derived from a photograph taken by Herbert Watkins on Regent Street - an early example of photography being used for documentation purposes within prisons. Through this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the complex narratives embedded within our criminal justice system and how it has evolved over time. This thought-provoking piece invites us to reflect on issues surrounding punishment, rehabilitation, gender dynamics, and social inequality that persist even today.
